Back to Reality

This sucks with a capital SUCKS. I had to say goodbye to my wonderful, amazing, perfect boyfriend this morning after a fantastic 9 whole days together. I cried at least a pound of my body weight off me.  It was probably one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. Seriously he has been gone for like 12 hours and it literally seems like he's been gone for 1 million years.  I get to see him again in may though, so I just have to tough it out for the next month or so.
Anyway, obviously I had a great spring break.  We went into Schaumburg and stayed in this really nice hotel and went out to eat a lot and went to the Woodfield mall.  It was fun.  There's no better way to get to know a person than to be in a hotel room with them for 6 whole days. haha Lucky for us we weren't sick of each other by the end of the trip, and we're still together!
This may be a little soon, but I'm pretty positive it's safe to say that I'm going to marry this man. He's everything I've ever dreamed of and so so so much more! :) I hope ya'll had a great spring break!

Update!

Hey Guys!
Sorry I've been absent! I've been super busy with work and school, it seems like I never have time to spare anymore! Valentines day was the BEST! Even though my boyfriend was 9 hours away he made it so special! I got this :)

and it came with this sweet note that said 
"you are the best part of my day every day and every day is better than the last, I love you so much"

How freakin' sweet is that?! I swear he's a keeper :) The second was our one month, and he sent me the cutest moose stuffed animal! (moose are my favorite animal)  He's just a thoughtful person, and he makes me very happy :) 

Enough about my love life!!! haha
I switched my major AGAIN! 
Wellness obviously wasn't for me, I can't even get myself to go to the gym on a daily basis, haha I doubt I'll be able to get other people motivated to do so!
Psych scared me, I decided that I suffered from half the mental disorders I was reading about, so I just HAD to get out of there.  
I've now decided that I'll major in Early Childhood Education.  I just love little kiddies, and why the heck wouldn't I want to spend all day doing crafts with them, combining my two favorite things, yesss please! 
Hopefully I'll stick to it this time! Just a few more semesters to go! I just can't wait to be done!  

Well that's all I've got for now! I need to get to the store and buy some spring flowers to brighten up my room! I also need a new curling wand ASAP! I'm sick of having straight hair, and mine's been broke for a good while now. 
Stay Sweet :)

Spring Is In The Air

So, obviously I'm aware that it's only 5 days into February, but I swear it feels like spring time!!!
Spring has GOT to be one of my most favorite times of the year, everything is so new and exciting. It just puts me in an all around great mood that's awfully hard to kill; which is good news to pretty much anyone who knows me!

In other news, Valentines Day is just around the corner, and for the very first time I actually have a boyfriend for this special occasion.  Not as happy as you might think though, because he's 9 hours away right now, which is not a fun time, but he's amazing so I can't complain too much. I get to see him in March, so I'm very very excited!

Sorry I haven't been blogging too much, I've been super busy with school and everything. I shouldn't even be writing right now, but I feel bad for neglecting you!

Lessons Learned

1. The only person you can trust is yourself.

2. If you meet someone on Twitter, make sure you know what they look like before you start talking to them.

3. It's better to be honest, otherwise you'll find yourself in a twisted web of lies, that's almost impossible to get out of.

4. Always be yourself, never change to impress someone.

5. Get up, dress up, and show up. ALWAYS! you NEVER know what you're going to miss if you don't.

6. Stop dreaming of a perfect life, because chances are it won't happen.

7. Make things happen. Don't sit around and wait for them to happen.

8. Jail is no place for a pretty girl.  Don't be stupid.

9. It's okay to stay in from the partying for a few nights to spend time with your family.  Chances are you'll have a good time.

10. Believe it or not you CAN be smart AND pretty. And trust me, it's a deadly combination. Use it to your advantage.

11. After a break up, don't torture yourself. Delete their number, and don't obsess over their FB. They're called ex's for a reason, you're supposed to X them out of your life. If it was meant to be it will happen.

12. Don't sleep with a guy the first night you meet them. Just don't.

13. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. (totally obvious)


14. Leave the past in the past. That goes for yours as well as everyone else's. We all have done things that we aren't particularly fond of, but does that really mean we need to pay for it the rest of our lives? I for one really don't think so.


That's all I have for right now.  I hope y'all had a safe and happy new years!

Bye Bye 2011!

Wow, what a year it has been!!  It's crazy to think a year ago at this time I chose to leave behind the one thing I had worked my whole entire life for....college cheerleading.  Sometimes I beat myself up over it, but when I stop and take a look around I know I did it for all of the right reasons.
I had made the decision to come home based on many factors, my boyfriend and I at the time were having serious problems (that's a different story for a different day), I was seriously not doing so hot in the education part of college (but I could out drink 300 lb football players...so clearly my priorities were a tad bit....screwed up), but most importantly...I just had a sense that my family needed me back home!
I made the decision around Thanksgiving time after coming home the first time since I moved away. My parents were totally supportive, although they didn't want to see me throw away my dream, but none of that really mattered to me.  I went back to school, said goodbye to my squad, and at the end of the semester I was out of there.
20 days after I got home my mom and dad had to drive to Maryland.  My pappy had gotten real sick, and the doctors called and said that if they could they needed to get there overnight.  I was in the middle of work, and getting ready to register for school, so the original plan was for my parents to drive up over night and I was going to come after I got everything figured out with my work schedule.  But there wasn't much time. My pappy passed Jan 15.
My parents didn't come home until March!! I mean, I'm a big girl, I know how to live on my own and all..but still...that was a lot of responsibility just thrown at me. I actually had to pay bills!! My parents brought back my grandma, and it was a HUGE adjustment!  I'll leave it at that, because details aren't really needed, and I don't wanna bore ya'll.
Anyway, this whole year went by without much problems...until August..when my grandma had a stroke.  It has taken a major toll on the whole family.  My momma quit her job to take care of her, and my dad is just now starting to go out and work again.  I try to help as much as I can, but with my work and going away to school.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is looking back now I know that I made the right decision to leave behind such wonderful friends and teammates.  In the end it all worked out.  I have grown up so much in this last year...more than any other year, I'm positive!  Not only have I learned that family is the most important thing, but also that good things happen to those who let them happen..instead of trying to make them happen.
I feel like I'm the rock that keeps my whole family together!
IIt's been real nice actually being able to be right here with the one's that love me the most!
Hopefully 2012 will be less tragedy- filled, but I'll make the most of it no matter what comes out of it, because I know God wouldn't give me anything I couldn't handle, and I'm one tough cookie!
