Excitement For the Future (A Rare Occasion for Me)

Lately I have been so excited about the future and in such a better mood. There are some exciting and big things coming up in my life and some other things I am hoping come soon enough. This is such a blessing for me because usually I am always worried. But, as of now I am content and excited just about life:

* My baptism ( I am getting baptized for the very first time on Easter!) I love my church Ignite and am so happy to have Pastor Jason baptize me. 

* Charley is getting neutered this Friday! I am very nervous for him but I am praying that everything goes well:

* Spring Break: Yes I am only going home for 4 days of Spring Break but then I am coming back to Greenville to work- A LOT! This does not sound exciting but it is relaxing to me. When I go home I have so many people to see and visit so it is a lot of driving and with a puppy that is overwhelming.

*GRADUATION! I graduate from ECU if I pass everything December 20120- I am so excited to start looking for a home in either Richmond or VA so I can be closer to my family and to start building a life with Sam outside of East Carolina.

*Lately I am so excited about him- he makes me so happy and feel so confident and pretty 24/7. I know sometimes I am not the best girlfriend but I truly have been stepping outside of my comfort zone to figure out how to be the best girlfriend and the bible has truly helped me. I love you Sam so much!*

Have a amazing Wednesday! 

All About my NYE and the Resolutions!

As for NYE me, my brother, my best friend Brittney and my boyfriend, Sam went to a bar party in Richmond, VA called the Baja Bean. It was truly a blast! Probably the most memorable NYE I have had in a while. Below are some pictures:

 My girls!

I will eventually rotate this!!! ( I am running late to the VETs office for Charley's Rabies shot! :(

 The puppy named Gus that was at the apartment we pregamed at for NYE.

 Charley lost his 2 front teeth!!!

Now for the RESOLUTIONS!

1. No More Cussing (it is not professional, lady-like, cute, attractive, intelligent etc. )
2. Work out atleast 4 times a week (last year it was 3) I am upping it a little!
3. Do NOT eat out more than once a week (this nasty habit of mine has been killing not only my WAIST line buuut ALSO my BANK ACCOUNT -$
4. Save Some of my Student Loans and Grants for the Summer BAHAMAS trip with my family and bf Sammy!
5. Stay optimistic and lose 10 pounds! :D

What are y'all's resolutions?

About my Boyfriend and I:

My boyfriend is an all American boy and very shy! I never thought he was shy but everyone swears he is I just starting seeing it this year because we moved in together. We have been dating a little over 2 years.

How We Met:
 My freshman year of college at VCU  my 2 friends wanted me to go to ECU for Halloween. I thought I was so hung over from the prior night that I couldn't make it out. They begged me to go so I decided why not. One thing I remember from the car ride to ECU is saying "okay if I'm going- I'm meeting my husband" we all just laughed and couldn't wait to arrive to the notorious ECU h-ween parties. Low and behold I met Sam on the corner of a fraternity house and we hit it off immediately and went walking together. (There's more details but I feel so  cheesy spilling them out and he'd probably kill me! ha ha!)
This was our first picture together V ( I was so giddy that night and so excited to be there with him)

How it is going now:
Right now we just got use to living together and are learning more and more about each other. It's crazy living with your boyfriend but also amazing I never have to worry about him borrowing my stuff without asking or being dramatic...although, I do miss my girl talk (so I visit my friends a lot at their apartments!). But as of now I am happy with him and trying to be patient with the little bumps in the road.

Current picture of us!

This was Halloween 2011 :) haha! I was pooh bear and he was a hipster...haha

(You will hear more about him/us in the future of my blog)
