a lot has changed..

 

so, since my last post I have:

1. gotten a 4.0 for spring semester 2010.
2. started work in an entirely different field than retail.
3. became a well liked preschool teacher.
4. achieved a very successful relationship with him.
5. lost all kinds of contact with my dad.
6. became more comfortable being ridiculous.
7. made more money than i know what to do with [haha, not really.]
8. become  more content with my life & i like it.

here we come, nashville.

today, boyfriend and i are going to nashville together. the trip there isn’t too long, maybe like 45 mins to an hour, depending on traffic. we’re specifically going there for the opry mills mall. this mall just so happens to contain my favorite stores (the ones i don’t have in my town) like forever21, wet seal, charlotte russe, and icing by claires. we’re going there also because this weekend is our anniversary, so we both took off work, thrusday through monday, just for this weekend. since, he lives an hour and a half away, this is a weekend i think we deserved. i’m so excited.

we’ve both got a pretty jam-packed weekend ahead of us:

• thursday: we just lounged around my house.
• friday:  (today) after my classes, we’re going to nashville.
• saturday: laser tag at 10am, lunch at logans around 11/12, haunted houses around 6.
• sunday: hanging out with my parents and celebrating our 3 yr anniversary.
• monday: after my classes, we’re just going to enjoy each other.

hopefully this weekend doesn’t completely run me down. the other night i only got like 5 hours and i don’t function very well like that. & neither does he, but he insists swears he ‘completely okay and not tired.

new york bound

i love traveling. there is never any doubt about it. i have moved and visited different places and i love being in unknown environments. it makes me feel like there are still things out there that i have yet to discover.

so, when my dad proposed that i come see him in new york for christmas, i surely jumped on it and there was almost no way that i could turn it down. NEW YORK?? who would, only crazy people i am sure. i know i am writing about this a little early, but it was too good to hold in any longer. but as of right now, there are about 50 days until it happens, which these days, seems to fly by.

right now, i am sitting in the common area of my college just pondering what adventure is waiting for me there. i’m not sure if we’re going to the city or not, but i certainly would not mind if we did. think of all the shopping that is waiting for me. it’s going to be incredible and i can not wait. oh! i didn’t even tell you the best part, my boyfriend is coming with me. can you believe that? he’s almost as excited as i am about it.

i purchased our tickets a couple of days ago. we’re set to leave on saturday, december the 19th and we’re returning saturday, december the 26th. this will be the first trip that my boyfriend and i are flying together. earlier this year, we went to iowa together but we drove, which wasn’t bad, but long.  & the tickets we got were insanely inexpensive for flying to new york in december. i paid about $255 each for us. so, you know i was excited about that.

wish me luck.
