Updates, updates, updates!!!

So, I have been goin crazy this summer... I've been to a Sounds game (nashville's minor league baseball team), a wedding and lots of exercizing. I have to go to the dentist tomorrow... BOOO.... I hate the dentist!! Oh well.. Whatever. Then, we're going out of town on thursday. My mom, dad, sister, fiance and I are going to Arkansas for our annual Fourth of July fishing trip we do with my mom's side of the family. I enjoy the trip, but sometimes it gets kind of boring because we do the same thing every year... But it should be better since John's going with us. I can't wait. Someone closer to my age will be there and it will be nice. Then, when we get back from there, we're going to have to get ready for church camp. We're getting back from arkansas monday of next week and then we leave the following saturday for church camp. The staff for camp has to be there the day before campers get there so we can do what we need to do to get ready for them. The day that the campers leave, I have to leave, too. John's going to a wedding in Kentucky and he wanted me to go with him. So it will be fun. I can't wait. Then sometime after that, we're going to go to Mississippi to John's grandmother's house because she wants to meet my family. So, it will be fun. John and I are going to go with them. haha... Anyway..I'm taking some time off of school and John and I may be getting married in march or april. I am ready for married life, but at the same time, it's new for me (obviously since i've never been married before) so i'm kinda scared that I might mess something up. Lord willing, I won't... I mean I know that marriage isn't always easy, and I know that it will take work from both of us, but he's the one I want to be with and he's the one I want to grow old with and he's the one that I want to be married to. He's exactly what I've been looking for in a husband, a mate, and I can't picture myself with anyone else. Before I came home, I talked to a childhood friend that I hadn't talked to in FOREVER and reminded me of how much I've been missing. We were like spaghetti and meatballs. We were inseperable. It was great to talk to her. So... That's what's been going on so far this summer. Oh yea. I forgot about my mission trip. I went to NC again for the sixth time and it was great to be back. I missed it. The week went well and i can't wait to go back. That's all I have to write now... I'll have more later prolly.

Finals week is this week!!!

This week is finals week and I am going to go crazy. I am so ready to be home. It's unreal how time flew this semester! I can't believe that it went by so fast. I love people here but I'm ready to be home. John's going to be so much closer now and I'm so excited!!! It's going to be great! My sister graduates about a week after I get back. So that's going to be fun. I'm gonna see a TON of family and I can't wait!!! YAY!! John's going to go with us there too!! Can't wait!! yay!!! Anyway.. I'll prolly have more to say when the week progresses when I'm not studying! :(

It's been a while... I know I know...

Sorry for not being here for a while. I have been so busy with stuff. Finals week is next week. This is the last week of classes. I got this unreal feeling all the sudden that I feel SO ALONE... I don't get this feeling a lot, but I don't like this. I want to be home. I haven't been home since Spring Break, and my mom and dad (and i think my sister too) are coming Sunday for Mother's Day. I am really excited that they're going to be here. I love seeing them. I miss them so much. Being married is going to KILL me because I want to spend time with them, but I am going to be married and something tells me that I won't see them as much as I want to!!! Fun, huh!!

About being married... I want to be married so bad. Waiting is just going to drive me crazy. I can't stand being away from John. The distance drives me nuts. I can't see him all the time. He is my better half. He completes me. He is the one that I want to spend the rest of my life with. I am so completely blessed to have him in my life and that he's going to be the one I'm going to build a home and a family with. It's just so incredible to think that he's MINE!! This is a great feeling!

I plan on being on more this summer when I have more time. My sister graudates 8 days after I get home. It's going to be so much fun!!! I can't wait. Next fall, we are going to be going to school together. But I don't think I could live with her partly because we'd ring each others necks. The other reason I don't want to take away from her college experience. She needs to know how to live with other people and not me. She already knows how to live with me. But I'll be here just in case she needs to move. Right now the dorm I live in is a dorm with 6 people in a suite. There's three people in a bedroom, and each suite has three bedrooms, one bathroom and a living area. I have a room mate and three suite mates. So if she absolutely needed to, she can move in our suite.

So I just found out a band called Secondhand Serenade. They're good! I like them a lot!! On www.projectplaylist.com I made a playlist of just their stuff! I love it!!! It's going to be over played! But I don't really care! I really like their stuff!!! It seems to be really talking about situations I've been on in the past and stuff I deal with now in school. It's unreal... It's almost like Dejavu moments!!! Wierd i know! Y'all should check them out!

It's been a while... SRY

Hey, readers. Sorry it's been a while. I have been busy and out of town a lot. I got back from Spring Break. John and I got engaged on the 27th of December with John. It was during my christmas break.

Here's the reader's digest version. My mom, dad and sister went out of town earlier that day to go to visit my mom's parents for christmas. I didn't go. I convinced them (somehow) to let me stay home because John was there and he had something planned that afternoon/evening. John and I went to J Alexanders in Nashville. We've been there before and LOVE it. They have great steaks! Anyway, after that we went to our favorite spot in Down Town, Love Circle. There's this hill on this street that you can get to the top of and see the whole skyline of Nashville. It's beautiful, especially at night. He had brought his video camera he had gotten from his dad at christmas. After a little while of being on there with him he started talking about how wonderful I am and all these romantic things and I started to cry. A whole bunch of people started to come up the hill after we had been there for a little while and we moved so he could see a good view when he proposed... And then he proposed, and I couldn't say anything so I nodded. haha. Then we started calling people... I spent about an hour on the phone calling people I wanted to know.

Now, we've been engaged for about 3 months, and I'm loving it. We haven't set a definate date yet, but we've gotten a general time period we want to get married. We both want me to finish school first, and we want to get married the summer after I graduate. I'm enjoying engagement, but it's making it hard because he's already graduated from college and is working now in Nashville, and I'm in school about 2 and a half hours away (I go to school where he and his brother both went... What a coincidence). I met John at my home congregation in Nashville through his brother (who I was crushing on at the time). That was Christmas break about a year ago. The, we had our first date the night before I turned 20. Yea, I know. What good timing, right?!?!

Anyway.... Spring break was this past week. We tried to hook John's brother, James, up with our friend, Katlyn. But he didn't show up because he was gonna break up with his girlfriend. So, we'll have to try to do that later. That's ok. This past weekend, we celebrated his birthday, his best friend's birthday (Mike is his name) and this other guy's birthday (Patrick) here close to school. I had a BLAST... It was awesome. I can't wait to do this again. This coming weekend, John and I are going to his dad's house. There's a reason for it, but it's kind of a surprise. So once I know something else for sure, I'll be sure and write about it. I can't wait. I hope that this works out. I'll try to post some things more regularly now that I'm back and I have a computer in front of me.

So I'm home now. I'm going with John, my boyfriend, to his dad's house this weekend. We're leaving tomorrow. I'm so excited! I haven't been out to Mississippi since Memorial Day. We went to visit and to go to his twin cousins graduation. It was fun... Well I take that back since they've been in school, I'm pretty sure... I can't remember .... lol that's the point.... Anyway... His dad's family lives in Ripley, Mississippi! It's an awesome place! I think that this is gonna be like their Christmas or something.... Just thought I would touch base with you readers out there. I haven't written anything since I have been home on christmas break...

This weekend was great! I spent the weekend with my friend Jackie. She goes to school with me and is dating my boyfriend's brother. We went to Wal-Mart (the best place for a nearly poor college student on a budget) three times this weekend. It was GREAT! We had lots of fun. She taught me how to crochet! It was cool! I really like it. We also talked about different things, and it was pretty cool!

This week at school is finals week... I get done on Tuesday and I'm SO EXCITED. I get to go home on Wednesday. I can't wait to go home. I've missed my boyfriend. He's my everything! I love him!!! I can't wait to be with him again. He's fantastic. We're supposed to be going sometime during my xmas break to see the lights at the Opryland Hotel. I can't wait!!!!

December 4, 2008

Today was pretty relaxing. I had only one class, and it was at 2:30 this afternoon. So I attempted sleeping in, but got up at about 9:30 or so. The night before, I didn't sleep well. I was in and out of sleep all night, and was up for an hour because my room mate's grandmother died. I sat up a few minutes with her, and then gave her some alone time. I tried to go to bed, but I was too hot. When you're hot natured, and your hot when you try to go to sleep, it doesn't work... haha But neway.... About today.... I had to write my own obituary for my 2:30 class (yea... it was an assignment for my basic reporting class... depressing, huh?) Anyway... I just chilled today and what not.. It was pretty relaxing. My boyfriend, this summer, got me on a Sims2 fix. He bought me the Sims2 Double Deluxe game for a moving back in present. I played that a lot today... I love it. I can't wait until Sims3 comes out next year! It's already on my christmas list for next year. I know.. PLANNING AHEAD!! But neway.. Just had to get that out of my sistem!
