summer time fun

It's been awhile and a lot has happened

My life is fastly changing from being engaged and trying to figure out how we will do things is a challenge in itself,
but so rewarding in all the same

We have our moments just like other couples as well but life is good and i couldn't ask for better. This week on Wednesday will be 2 years of being with each other probably the best two years I've ever had the ups and downs make it all the worth it.

In about less than a month it will be my 23 birthday. I cant believe how fast I am growing up and especially how fast the people around are growing up the friends that I have had forever and then also my cousins it makes me feel somewhat old. It's amazing how fast we grow up and I really didn't start thinking about that till recently within the last 3 years. Its amazing how fast things start to happen when your older and it doesn't hit you till than it seems like. birthdays for me when I was younger was counting the months and days before my birthday now as i am older I can wait till that day. I can wait till the day I'm another year older and wiser to me its not as important anymore.I am just glad I can be alive and spend time with my family and fiance and friends who I have every day and will support me that's whats important now.






I have finally accomplished some of the things on my own bucket list a few weeks ago I went camping it was probably one of the best things I have done especially since I was with my man. It wasn't really real camping in that we didn't go to a campsite we stayed at home and camped did everything outside including food outside except going to the bathroom that was inside. It was a great time and I cant wait till I get to do that again.

That is all until next time I am really going to try and do this more often.

new year new challenges

I have decided that from another friend she is doing a blog on pictures every day is a picture with something bout that picture. also i will be posting things more.
so here is going with the trend and my new year of challenges and through the help with friends and family and my faith i say it will be indeed a great year as long as things go according to plan and even if they dont i know i have my friends and my fiance, and my family to get me through it all

here is my first picture of the new year... well make this 3 pictures to the new year one of my engaggement ring something very precious and beautiful to me

the next picture is from one of my best friends birthday her 21st to be exact i cant believe we have been friends since our job way back when at young chefs academy and that it has been almost 3 years now since we have not been there. Here is Kelly with her cute birthday wine glass I gave her.
and my last picture since I missed 3 days is going to be a picture of me and my cousin on christmas i cant believe that this week she wil no longer be a kid she will be a teenager now 13 what a special day for her even though she does not think so

and the next picture is from when me and my fiance went ice skating with eachother for the first time it was pretty entertaining since he has never gone before but all in all it was a fun time and something we can share a fun moment with and many more

Finally the light at the end of the tunnel is near

The semester is finally winding down it is soon going to be the new year with a start of brand new adventure around the corner. As the next few weeks pass I am going to be enjoying not having to do any school work and just enjoy life so many new things have happend this year that i just want to be able to enjoy them now.
Its hard to believe that another year is going to past and with that said IT IS ALMOST CHRISTMAS i know in posts before i was not really in the christmas mood but that has changed i finally found some christmas spirit it was hard but i found it. The next couple of days after getting done with finals and studying i will be finishing putting up the tree at my house it has always been my thing at christmas to put the ornaments on the tree it is something that reminds me of being younger and sitting with my mom going through all the ornaments and asking what year was this from and where was this one from and all sorts of things its just a fun thing for me to do something that i used to do with my mom now that im older i do myself as i still look at all the old ornaments from my childhood like my aladdin ones and the little mermaid one even though i am older it is still nice to look at those on the tree here is just a before picture of the christmas tree before all the ornaments are put up another picture will be up when all the beautiful and silly ornaments are on the tree enjoy this cold and enjoyable holiday

So close yet so far away

In about one week classes will be officially over for the semester and I can't wait as i am sure many others are looking forward to it as well as i am. The stress of school is so much sometimes that it can just bring you down and make you forget what is really important to you. You start to go crazy and in that you make others around you go that way too. It is a rough time for all of us college students but we must not forget the ones we love and in this hard time of studying and all nighters to not take our stress out on them they are just trying to help and usually make you calm down so with this i leave you all of you studying for finals and gettin ready for the semester to end keep your head up high and keep calm and when in doubt WATCH SOME CHRISTMAS MOVIES :) and take time most importantly to RELAX. We all need to be relaxed and take a break now and than to clear your mind it will help in the end and keep the stress down as well

I wish you all very much luck in this next couple weeks of finals good luck to all and to all a good night... oh wait thats Christmas :)

only 16 more shopping DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!!!

Christmas

For most people Christmas is a spectacular holiday of fun and cheer. For some reason this holiday season I cant get into the spirit. I cant find that holiday cheer in myself. I feel like just staying in a box and skipping the holiday. I guess people take the context out of the meaning and thats whats getting me down. It seems like people are to into the "things" of christmas the presents the food the cleaning which thats not important for once i would like a christmas of not worrying bout gettin people things and have a simple chirstmas with just family and friends i dont need presents. i actually perfer not to have anything. because thats not how christmas should be it shouldnt be about what your getting all the time but how your celebrating the birth of christ which is what the holiday is about its about the birth of Christ notice CHIRST mas. we make this holiday all bout things instead this year i think we should make it bout feelings and knowing and feeling grateful for what you have instead of what you want. you dont need an ipod, i pad or a new phone or anything materialistic for me what i want this Christmas is to spend it with my family and friends and my new family i have in my life. I write bout Christmas ever year. but to me it really has lost its meaning i want to get into the spirit but when everyone around you has lost the meaning the true meaning is just being thankful for what you have and being with your family and friends you dont need gifts a clean house lots of food or christmas lights or any of that for a great christmas so i challenge you will you have a christmas full of gifts and material things or will you have a christmas full of love with family and friends

Merry Christmas

been awhile but a update is so needed

so with in the last couple months lots has happend but most importantly i have to announce that i am officially and very excited to be ENGAGGED!!!! yes engagged to the most wonderful man in the world. He treats me so good. Just like the new Carrie underwood song Mama's song. Because he is good and he treats your little girl like a real man should. Those words are so true because he does it all the time he talks to me when he really doesnt have to but does anyway. When ever I am in a bad mood he is right there only a call away. I dont know how life with out him would be I cant even imagine it but life with him is awesome. All of my friends are excited for me. Telling the parents was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I knew once he asked me that yes I was so excited but I knew once I went home to tell my parents they would in some ways be dissapointed they were not dissapointed just shocked it was hard at first but now they are very supportative its going to take some gettin used to but it is so what I want he means everything to me he is absoutly wonderful. Telling his family was hard as well but again they were shocked but are very supportative in us I really am so blessed for wonderful friends and a wonderful family well now two families :).
You never expect something so special to be so much more special when your in love. Those simple words WILL YOU MARRY ME? are the words every girl wants to hear some day and when you are asked those words they mean so much more than just a yes but when saying yes you feel so loved and so emerged with joy you cant contain yourself. Its going to be couple of years which is what so hard explaining to our parents.This is really what I want and I am so happy I have found it it! There will be many more updates through out my new journey :) with pictures to come along the way
I hope everyone will continue to support me through my NEW journey and come along for the ride
I have been so Blessed

lions and tigers and bears. gradutation...OH MY

last week on tuesday was my very first time ever goin to the zoo. yes i am 21 and never been to the zoo not because my parents never took me its because i never really wanted to go but it was so much fun i went with the best people ever one of my best friends kelly and michelle and kellys sister amy. There were so many animals I was seriously like a little girl who was five it was so funny. it was great day we rode in the train we had a picnic lunch it was probably the best time ive had in a long time.


this past weekend my cousin my baby cousin who is not a baby hes 18 and he graduated i cant believe it. It seems like just yesterday i was dressing him up in my clothes i got that kid to do anything i wanted. he was so cute and saturday he looked different he looked so grown up. hes going to be a part of the adult world. I am so excited for him and to see him be successful in what ever he does i am so proud of him.

i started my first day of work this weekend as well i think i am goin to love it there it is so much fun the kids are adorable and so freakin cute its hard at times not the job it self but the calming down the little ones. i had a little girl today right away she wanted me she was allhappy and smiles so cute and as soon as i put her down she started bawling all she wanted was me to hold her it was the cutest thing ever. this is preparing me for so many things. not only do i know i have the patcience for this but i know i wil be such a better person in the long run as a teacher. i love being with kids i love their smiling faces and even when they are crying it touches your heart.

i am so blessed to have a wonderful family, friends, and a job
god is so good
