SPRING BREAKKKKKKKKK

2010-03-05T12:21:00.002-05:00

Finally. A week off. This week was absolute hell... I felt like it was finals week. I had three Exams consisting of a final and two midterms. RIdiculousssss. I got A's on the first two and will find out in a couple of weeks about the last one. I actually get to relax now...well kinda. I still have to study for Finance all week because I have another exam when I get back! Oh school. I guess it will pay off when I'm rich and can go shopping all the time lol.

Well I came into WC this morning and I'll be with the family all week. Hopefully, I get some warm weather so I can tan! This cold weather needs to stop! I signed up a bunch of people for a community service event called Day of Difference....and if you sign up, you get a free ticket to Disney! Woohooo!

Well, that's all for now! Have a good weekend, Everybody!

Yucky Day

2010-02-22T16:53:00.003-05:00

Today has been so gross! I woke up this morning excited because the sun was out and it was warm weather. As soon as my class let out I walked outside and it was black. Good thing I grabbed a sweater and an umbrella before my last class because it was pouring by 3pm. If it's not freezing, its rainy. Where is my sunshine??

Well I had a great weekend hanging out with the family...but I have to admit...I am so sore from heavy lifting and moving! Ughh I can barely walk. But it's not going to stop me from going to the gym tonight with Cait! The fair was quite interesting this weekend...It was James' first appearance at any kind of fair so needless to say I'm sure he was entertained! LOL.

Well, Spring Break is right around the corner already. This semester is flyingggg by! I have THREE exams next week so lord knows they are gonna try and kill us here at UF before they let us enjoy a week long break. So looks like I'll be studyin' my little butt off for the next two weeks!

Back to Tampa this weekend. It will only be four days, but I miss the family already! Love them! That's all for now :) Happy Mondays all around!

Valentine's Day

2010-02-15T18:23:00.010-05:00

I know I only post on this thing every blue moon and I always say I'm going to get more regular about posting. But, I am not going to promise that this time because I always seem to slack when it comes to posting! However, I thought I would share with everyone what a sweet Valentine's Day I had yesterday! I was sad because Vday was on a Sunday so it would not have worked out for me to come home....but I will be in Tampa come Thursday! Yay! I get to have coffee and girl talk all day Friday with Mom :)

Thursday night I went to Yamato, a Japanese steakhouse, with my roommates for our friend's 22nd birthday. It was very yummy...those chefs are so talented with the way they cook...especially when he throws an egg in the air and catches it with a spatchula! Then Friday night I went with my roommies to see the movie Valentine's Day. So many good actors in that movie! It was cute.

Saturday morning James came up and we washed my car and hung out. Saturday night I cooked him dinner. He loves seafood so I cooked Talapia and shrimp scampi with some asparagus. Turned out very yummy!

Sunday Morning I woke up to rose pedals sprinkled down my stairs and a delicious breakfast. I also got a beautiful Tiffany's Notes Collection ring, a tea set, and a huge teddy bear and chocolate. I made James a Calendar and got him a bottle of his favorite cologne, heart wine glasses, and some other goodies. We hung out and did homework and then headed out to dinner at Olive Garden.

It was a very nice relaxing day...just wish I would've gotten to see the family! On a good note, Joey got a new laptop with a built in webcam and I am able to see and talk to the family now on skype! Very Cool! Well that is all for now. School is going great! I did good on my first two exams and I am ready to kick this semester in the butt! Bye Ya'll!

BRRRRRRRRRRR

2010-01-05T18:07:00.002-05:00

It's so extremely cold outside. Today the high was in the 30's and it "felt like 19 degrees" all day. What the heck. I'm not used to this. My face freezes over on the way to class and the wind it unbearable. I'm such a baby when it comes to cold weather...I guess that's what I get for going to school two hours north! And get this, the school emailed me last night...the heating system for most buildings is broke until Thursday. Ughhh. The holidays are over and it's time to crack down. Mom and Joey helped me move my full bed into my apartment and I absolutely love it. So cozy and comfortable. It was so warm and comfy that I didn't want to get out of bed this morning for class.

School is going to be tough! Whoo! I gotta bust my little buns. But I got this! Today was my first day back and Business Finance is scaryyyy. haha. Well, I finally posted and I am going to do my best to update regulary. You know what? Cold weather sucks. But...Cold weather means BASEBALL SEASON! wooohoooo :)

THE FAMILY

Christmas :)

2009-12-26T12:48:00.002-05:00

So my Christmas was absolutely amazing...except for the fact that every other student in the world had a month of Christmas Vacation and I had two weeks. This sucks! Last weekend I worked at Winner's and all week I have hung with the family and helped everybody get ready for Christmas. Yesterday I woke up and did Christmas with the family, then I headed to James' house to visit with his family. His parents gave me a Yankee candle (my favorite)! At his parents house we exchanged small gifts and waited to do the rest at my house. So we headed back to Wesley Chapel to eat dinner with mom and dad and watch movies. He did so good for me for Christmas! A beautiful Victoria's Secret Pink Gator Sweatsuit, some little things, and a black Coach Purse with the matching wallet. Mom got me an awesome little camera and dad hooked me up with a nail gift certificate...speaking of nails....I got pink and white fake nails....i just wanted to try it...I love them :) Prolly won't keep filling them but it was a nice change for the holidays. This week, I have a Christmas Party to go to for James' work, and my friend is having a New Year's Party Thursday. So my week is full of fun before its back to Gainesville to crack the books. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

BAD blogger BAD.

2009-12-13T22:54:00.003-05:00

I have been seriously slacking. no excuses! Except for the fact that I am sooooo ready for this semester to be over. Next semester is going to be even harder. Lord, Help me! lol. Well, today was prodective...I wrote my law final after sleeping half the day away. My roommate decided to have a party until four in the morning Friday night and last night I had a five hour tutoring session. Talk about brain fried. My phone was on silent this morning and my alarm clock was off. Needless to say Mom and the boyfriend were about to send the troops for me becuase I was MIA...in bed. lol.

Anywho, I don't have class or anything this week...except two exams on Thursday. yuck!! Thursday James is having lasik surgery so I will be taking care of the poor boy Friday. I cannot wait for Christmas and to be home with nothing to do! yay! I miss my family! LOVE YOU GUYS!

Six Months

2009-11-22T15:08:00.007-05:00

Well, I can't believe how fast time flies! The boys are hunting, Mom is playing with kitties and I was in Gainesville. My friend was supposed to come into town and go to the game with me, but she bailed so instead James came up to hang out with me. Friday night he took me to Bonefish Grill because it was our six month anniversary. That place is amazing. I've heard such good things about the restaurant from everybody and finally got to try it out myself. It was so yummy. Saturday we went to the Gator game and it was so hot outside. We won, by a lot, of course :)

For our six months, James got me a beautiful diamond necklace from Kay's and it is a piece from the Love's Embrace Collection. I made him a collage. He is such a good boyfriend! I'll have to make up for that when it comes time for Christmas presents! The semester is almost over and everything is going to due. I cannot wait for Thanksgiving and then Christmas! Here are some pics from the weekend...

FINALLY feeling better

2009-11-19T00:05:00.003-05:00

Well, its Wednesday night and all of the assignments for the week are done! Time to enjoy the weekend! Today was such a productive day for me! I was at Walmart at 9am, which for me is unheard of! I gave my presentation today and got caught up on all of my lectures. I love being able to watch lectures online for a few of my classes! You can pause during lectures to take notes or you can speed up the Professors voice so it takes about 3/4 the time to watch it. It is nice to be able to rewind and watch it as many times as I want to, you would be surprised at how much you miss while taking notes. But anywho, I got tickets to Saturday's game and I am super excited to go. Friday James and I will have been together for six months. Crazy! Time flies when you are having fun. After this weekend, I leave for Tampa on Tuesday since all of my Professors were kind enough to cancel classes Wednesday. I get to hang out with Mom and drink coffee in the morning just like old times! Then we are grocery shopping/cooking for Thanksgiving Wednesday and Thursday. Then it's off to shop Friday! I love when the boys go hunting because Mom and I get to have girl time! But then again, we have girl time even when the boys are around. I was braiding her hair the other night in my big ole bed. Love ya, mom!

Dad invited us to go hunting but I am sure he likes his boy time too. He just informed me today that he is playing New Years Eve in channel side with the Rolling Stones Trilogy Band. Hopefully they can sneak me in :) Love you, Dad! You get to see me for 6 days! Woohoo! I hope you can handle all of the loving harrassment! haha.

I went and visited my Grandma monday morning, AKA Nina, and she had a surprise for me. She knitted me the cutest blue and orange blanket. I will post pics soon! That is probably the one person I can talk to for hours on end and never run out of things to say. Love you, Nina!

Well, it's off to bed for me! Good night everybody!

Supposed to be doing homework right now...

2009-11-14T22:04:00.002-05:00

But I guess I have time to post...lol. I tell you what...I am so ready for this semester to be over and for Christmas to be here! It's so close! My mouth is all healed up and I am officially over the wisdom teeth. However, the toe is a different story. Hopefully this week the UF infimary will remove my stitches...let's pray! I feel like all the professors have one goal...to make everything due at the same time to make students have mental break-downs from stress! They must plan this and have meetings to strategize. Ugh! All I have left are finals and hopefully I can pull off straight A's. It's close to impossible but if God sends me a miracle for Christmas, it might happen!

Mom and I threw together dinner tonight. She made the chicken and I made the homemade MacNCheese. Soon we are going to put together a menu for Thanksgiving. Yummy! Last night we went and saw Dad play at Winner's and it was good to see all the poeple my mom works with everyday....a very nice group!

Well, Thanksgiving is in two weeks and I am excited about girl weekend! The boys will be going hunting so mom and I can bond! Hopefully, someone will have a crop (hint hint). I need to catch up on some scrapbooking...so many cute Gator Pics! Well its late and everyone is sleeping! Back to research!

2009-11-08T11:16:00.003-05:00

Thank god for my wonderful mommy! She has taken such good care of me! From head to toe, literally! She made sure my foot was well this week and tryin to get to classes and all, and then she has been waiting on my little butt all weekend...I don't think I got outta bed once yesterday! James sent me the prettiest flowers! Tuesday, while Mom was taking me to classes, I got a call from a flower shop in Gainesville saying that they had an arrangement for me :) So beautiful! My boyfriend is the best! I had two bouquets of flowers! One from the man and one from Mom! James came to Gainesville to bring me home Thursday night and we had the two vases of flowers seatbelted in!

What a rough weekend! Friday I went to have my wisdom teeth out...However, I'm walking out of the room and there is stuff smeared all over my lip...I was like what the hell is this?! The doctor followed by saying that apparently I clinched down on my lip with my teeth and wouldn't open my mouth while I was asleep...So now I have a huge gash on my lip. Besides the fact that I look like a squirrel, today is definately a better day! Yesterday was not so nice! James came and sat with me last night while mom went out to watch Dad play with the band. The good thing is, I might have lost a couple of pounds this weekend from lack of food! haha justttt kidding!

Today is relaxing. I have to get all better so I can drive with my injured foot back to Gainesville! Then, it's back home next weekend for more doctors appointments! Can't wait for the Holidays and all this drama to be over with! That's all for now :) LOVE YOU MOM & DAD!

My Pretty Flowers :)

Monday, Monday

2009-11-02T15:13:00.003-05:00

Welp! I had a great weekend! Thursday night me and the roomies threw a keg party and made a pretty profit on charging people red cups to drink out of...I was a hippie, and everyone was all dressed up in their costumes! Super cute! Friday I drove in and went to my consulation with the oral surgeon with mom, then we ran some errands. Saturday was Halloween and I went to James' parents house to pass out candy...the kids were adorable!! Then we went to Winner's to see Dad play...Yesterday was going really well until I somehow cut my foot on a dog food can...thank god Dad was home to stop the bleeding...lord knows I woulda passed out if I tried. So when Mom got home from the grocery store she took me to the hospital where it took four hours for me to get seen and they stitched me up and sent me on my way!

So now, Mom has to take me back to gainesville so I can go to class...since I am unable to drive...What a weekend!

Well everybody, have a wonderful week!

Washington DC!

2009-10-26T16:15:00.012-04:00

Hi everyone! It has been a busy week/weekend and I am slacking on the whole posting gig! I got back yesterday from Washington D.C. and it was absolutely amazing! I am so glad I got to see everything in person and it was a great trip...except for the 13 hour bus ride! Here are some pics :)

The White House

The Washington Monument

The Capital

The Rotunda

On the Metro

Georgetown

The Girls

The Boys

On the Bus goin to Downtown

Needless to say it was a very fun-filled weekend. We got there Thursday morning and took a tour of the Senate and the Capital. Friday we met with Altria in Richmond and then met with the Sales Managers of the Washington Capitals hockey team. Friday night we went downtown and Saturday we got to sight see. There were more pics but not enough room to post! Hope everyone had a good weekend!

I am coming to Tampa for Halloween...can't wait to see the family! This will be a not so busy week for me so I am looking forward to it!

GATOR GROWL

2009-10-18T21:35:00.003-04:00

Well here's so a relaxing weekend! started off thursday night...James came up early and surprised me and we had some pizza while we watched USF get there butts kicked...so sad. Then, friday night was Gator Growl, which is the student pep rally for the homecoming weekend. It was really fun...live music by a band called OAR. Dana Carvey, the comedian, also performed. It was a very good show! And we got to see all the senior football players :)

Saturday was the homecoming game...we went tailgating and the game was a close one...thank god we pulled off the win...and my mom made me the cutest gator cup...she posted a picture on her blog. I cooked pork chops and homemade mac n cheese last night for dinner and then some peach cobbler (mom's recipe) for desert...yum yum. Did a little homework this morning and then went to Chili's for dinner with James before he left for Tampa.

This coming up weekend I get to go to Washington D.C. for the club that I am in and we will be taking a bus up there and staying for three days! I am super excited...can you imagine...a bus full of gator students going to see the Capital! Saturday I will have free time to tour and go sight seeing! Nice mini vacation for me! Being involved sure payed off! Well, its been a very nice and relaxing weekend...not to mention the weather is beauiful! I actually got to wear my boots! yay!

Well, that's all for now! Have a good week everybody!

Oh and here ya go mom... Loved the cup!

PS. I dont say this enough...LOVE YA DAD!

Busy Weekend

2009-10-11T21:37:00.013-04:00

Well, it all started thursday...I knew this weekend was going to be good because I ended up getting an A on my management exam that I studied three days for! I hitched a ride with James' roommate's girlfriend, who also goes to UF, and we went to see our men. My wonderful boyfriend cooked me an amazing dinner and had it ready for me when I arrived to tampa...

We had chicken with a wine sauce, mashed potatoes, salad, bread and wine...

he did an amazing job :)
Well, that was thursday night and he even packed left overs for my dad, which he loved! Friday me and mom went out for a girl's day. We picked up my new pink glasses and went to lunch at Olive Garden...yum yum...our mother daughter tradition. Friday night Dad played at Winner's and I went to a party at James' for his roommates 21st birthday. It was fun! James and I even got our names on the "Wall of Fame" for winning 5 or more consecutive games of beer pong. What an accomplishment for us lol.

We went to Hooter's beforhand for dinner...
And the theme of the party was Breast Cancer Awareness, so the boys wore pink and we got pink cups to drink out of...it was a fun night! Saturday, James and I had a wedding to go to for his co-worker. It was a spanish wedding and it was held at the Bride's house. The wedding was eventful to say the least. Besides having water issues, the bride and groom not being able to take showers, and some septic tank problems, it was all in all a very nice little wedding.

The Bride and Groom and Family...

The Bride and Groom after smearing the cake on each other's faces...

And of course I wanted a picture of us under the pretty heart...

And of course James found the food lol...

They also smoked a hog...

I will refrain from posting the pictures of the truck pumping the septic tank and the hose in the yard. You know I have to get footage of everything :) After the wedding, James took me out for pizza and we ended up at his dad's house to watch what remained of the gator game. Tebow, despite his concussion, pulled off another win! Today I got to relax with some much needed family time. A very nice sunday. Back to writing opening statements for my law class and back to gainesville in the morning. Have a good week everybody!

JCPENNEY and friends...

2009-10-08T00:10:00.006-04:00

So my wonderful mother calls me tuesday to inform me that JCPenney was going to offer five $1000 scholarships to those who competed. Those who entered had to write a two page paper on one part of the store that needed improvement and how they were going to implement a plan to make it better. Well, my roommate all weekend had been asking me about ideas on how to make shopping better and I was spilling my ideas, oblivious to the scholarship. After putting two and two together, I realized this scholarship my mom told me about was the same one I had been helping my roommate with all weekend! So after coming up with this random idea in about two seconds, I wrote this paper with a crazy idea I came up with involving a 3G network and an inventory moniter in every department (I gave all of my plausible ideas to my roommate, which I couldn't use). Needless to say, I was one of the five winners, and so was my roommate! Out of 1500 applicants! What are the odds!

So to present us the scholarship, they held a very nice dinner for the winners at the Muesuem of Natural History and the Butterfly Musuem. It was a $1oo dinner...steak, pasta, etc. Very nice. Not to mention I sat with the the top man of Macy's and a guy who is head of Mall at Milinea. He gave me a free valet pass the next time I go because we talked about how great the mall was. Sorry this post was so long..just thought I would share all the interesting events of the night! We also won our intermurral softball game tonight! UNDEFEATED! Here are some pics...

Roomie and I before dinner...

Some of the Butterflies...

All of the Cocoons hanging...

Career Showcase

2009-09-30T00:35:00.004-04:00

So I got my resume critiqued a million and one times, got a pedi/mani, got my suit dry cleaned. All for Career Showcase. There were corporations and employers looking for students for internships and full time career oppurtunities. It was a good experience. I shook hands and introduced myself to a bunch of retailing stores, kohl's, macy's, jcpenney's...

There ya go mom! Sorry you didn't get to see me! Love you and miss you!

I cannot wait for this stressful week to be over with! I had a statistics exam tonight and a presentation to give tomorrow night! ahhh! thursday cant get here faster!

Sunday Funday

2009-09-27T19:47:00.010-04:00

Well, I just got back from being at Ginnie Springs all day with my Business Gators Association. I love this club. You gotta love an organization who gives you points just for going to social events :) I fit right in! lol...It was such a nice relaxing day on the water...we rented tubes and tied them all together with rope and floated down the river as one big swarm of college kids...we had a floating cooler full of beer and grilled out after the river...

Heading out...

The River...

Our Rafts!

All of the roomies!
Red Neck Yacht Club

How ironic, a gator!!

The Life: My Gator coozy, my camo hat, and my sunglasses

It was a nice break from all of the studying and homework I had this weekend. My second weekend not being home...miss the family! Business Gators also has a intermural softball team that plays wednesday nights! Sooo happy! James brought up my softball stuff friday night for me and then took me out to Chilis for dinner...my favorite! Then he bought me my favorite wine and we watched a movie...such a good boyfriend!

This week is going to be so hectic! Statistics Exam Tuesday night, Career showcase all day Tuesday and Wednesday, then Informative Speech Wednesday night! Whoo! too much! Then on my way to Tampa thursday night!

Well, if I can just get through this week, its off to the good ole Wesley Chapel and my big bed with my little orange buddy (mo)! And of course, quality time with frauline! Love you mom! see ya in 4 days!!! yay!

laMe kiffin

2009-09-20T00:04:00.009-04:00

So I just wanna sayyyy...GO GATORS and thank the good lord we shut down kiffin and UT...I was about sickk of his smack talking and he needed to be put in his place! It's been forever since I've posted but as you can understand I have been superrr busy. This weekend was fabulous...I absolutely lovee my roomies. Since we were unable to get tickets to the game (long story), we went tailgating and then to a local sports bar to watch the game...which was packed!

Robin and I on University Ave hitting up all the vendors....

My girls...

At the Mother's Sports Pub with the strangers we met...

And of course, I had to show off the back of my dress that my wonderful boyfriend got for me...

Last weekend was busy as well! It was Joey AND James' birthday...all in the same weekend....

so first we went out for Joey's birthday...

And the next night I took James to the Collonade on Bayshore...

So much fun-filled weekends with the most wonderful people in the world. I'm so happy to say that I have an absolute wonderful family, awesome roommates, and a great boyfriend...sure makes life easy when the people in it are amazing :)...

whew. what a weekend.

2009-09-07T23:48:00.008-04:00

I am officially exhuasted and mentally burned out for the night. Case briefs and memorandums can get a little heavy lol. I had an awesome weekend, though! Thursday night, i went out to the country club with my roommates, and I got to wear my cowboy boots (very important). I went to the first football game of the season saturday...and had an absolute blast! My friends and I tailgated on our patio and then walked down to the stadium for all the festivities....there is nothing like sittin in the student section and watchin those games!

We grilled hamburgers and hotdogs...

Played a little beer pong...

and most importanly, had fun with friends!

It was a fabulous weekend. Today, Mom and Ms. Linda came to help me decorate the living room and bring me some furniture. After Ms. Linda's 5 hour attempt to parallel park, we took it upon ourselves to lift this heavy loveseat into the apartment...all I have to say is THANK GOD for the boys who helped. I mean, don't get me wrong...Ms.Linda and I could have totally managed by ourselves ;) but the help was greatly appreciated. Mom thanked them by leaving a 20 pack of budlight at their door...who says beer isn't a motivator?! Anywho, I had a wonderful lunch at Olive Garden with my two moms, and made a trip to bestbuy where I bought this new awesome laptop that I am currently typing on! woohoo! Thanks ladies for your help and a wonderful day :) Love you guys!

And also, I would like to shout out to my wonderful padre! Starving kids in Africa and I have two laptops. I know, I know. Love ya, Dad (not that you ever read this).

We's like peas and carrots, only with super hot specs :)

Ain't that just precious.

I knowww, I knowww.

Welp! GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE! Here's to another week in the Swamp. GO GATORS!

Another day in the swamp...

2009-08-31T23:06:00.004-04:00

So I went to my first gator volleyball game tonight...mostly because they were giving away free food to transfer students...needless to say the roommates and i jumped on that oppurtunity! College kids never pass up free food...however, one of the roomies, Robin, wanted to go to the Frat houses because it's rush week and they have free food all week. I was like hmmmm...ill pass. lol. Saturday is the first home football game...things are bound to get crazy. I love this school. I have neverr seen so much school spirit! It's awesome....

MEET ALBERTA...

AND ALBERT...

AND WE MADE CUTE RIBBONS FOR OUR HAIR :) AND THAT's ALL FOR NOW!

LOVE YOU MOM!

One week down, a million to go

2009-08-27T10:11:00.002-04:00

So, not bad for the first week! Thank the good lord that the noise settled down...however the weekend is not here yet lol. Classes weren't that exciting...just going over the syllabi this week... I'm sure next week when the lectures start I am probably going to want to stab my eye with a sharp pencil! haha well Dad is playing tonight at good 'ole winners...so I am hoping he does an amazing job...I mean I am responsible for getting him the "gig" so in all honestly he better not let me down ;)

My roommates are awesome...I lucked out! So far, so good. They are all sweet and clean and outgoing! My roommate Caitlin and I went to a Cycling class earlier this week..."Rest and Relax"...it was a 75 minute class (completely free!) and we rode on the stationary bike for 45 minutes and cooled down with yoga for the rest of the time. This was my first time doing yoga and I LOVE IT! sooo relaxing! it felt so nice to cool down and stretch after my buns and legs were on fire from cycling! Now that I don't have softball, I am looking for any excuse to go to the gym and get a good work out in!

So I have to vent! I was in my Legal Communications Class (basically a intro into law studies) and I'm sitting next to this girl with blonde hair and she is wearing her sorority shirt...Well, I have been seeing these girls "rush" all week and constantly wearing dresses and bidding on new girls to be selected into their chapters. I thought this was pretty cool...until 5 minutes into the class....when she says to the Professor (who is a corporate attorney)..."Like, is this class like about law?" She then follows the questions with "Like this looks hard." I thought my Professor was going to die! He said, "Like are you serious? The title of this class is called Legal Communications." SHE REPLIED WITH "So this is like baby steps to Law School, right?"

I WAS ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING! I thought Sororities were stereotypical and that these girls must by smart if they are attending UF...wow the movies are right! I was thinking, "Are you trying to be this dumb??" Anywhooo...just thought I would share that little incident. Very funny! Nice girl, but I don't think she is cut out for that class! lol.

Well, off to class and then to a relaxing weekend of no homework! woo hoo! LOVE YOU, MOM!

Home Sweet Apartment...

2009-08-23T18:23:00.001-04:00

Alrighty so I am all moved in. I thought mom was going to have to hurt someone going up there but everything turned out alright. Apartment was clean, roomies were nice, the place was a mad house! The place has pros and cons...a lot of cons lol. While is was hard enough me and mom squeezed into my twin size bed, we couldn't fall asleep due to the wild crazy partiers outside yelling and walking around with their "natty light" cans. Didn't get a wink of sleep. I suppose that's what you get when you live on the strip of the number 2 party school in the nation (last year number one). Well you know what they say...if you cant beat 'em, join 'em! (just kidding mom!)

Before...

After...

And of Course what the boyfriend made for me...

He surprised me with a build-a-bear names "Jay" and look!...he put his scrapbooking skills to use and made me a collage! What a guy! I got my webcam to work! so now I can talk to the boyfriend and the family!

Well I'm all settled and ready for school tomorrow and I'm sure ill have some interestinggg stuff to share with you all. I'm not gonna lie...I miss my family already. Here's to the first day of school! Love you mom!

And one last thing...

I have the best family in the world!

Yes, Hello!

So here's the thing. My mom and all of her wonderful (and crazy) friends have blogs, and everyone insisted I join the blogging community. So, I figured...what better time than now to jump on the train. Tomorrow morning bright and early I will be moving to Gainesville, where I will start my new life. So now...I can keep everyone updated on my voyage and the latest scoop in Gatorland!
