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!

Merry Christmas!
Another Christmas came and went! It never fails to surprise me year after year, everyone always seems to put so much thought, hard work, and effort into an event that is over in two days. This year I tried not to get so caught up in the whole commercialization of Christmas and I focused on the real reason for the season..the Man upstairs!! I'm so thankful to have such an amazing family and such wonderful friends in my life! I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas!
Only a few more weeks until I have to go back to school, so the time I got to spend with my family today was very much appreciated. Hopefully my work schedule will die down a bit so I can spend more time with them, seeing as how I've been working 16 hour days for the past week pretty much. I'm ready for that to be over with!
I don't have much else to say, but I just wanted to get a quick blog in to get my blog back up and actually running!! I'll try to update as much as I can. I hope y'all had a WONDERFUL Christmas.
