School has started.

So I'm sure you know what that means.. less time for blogging :(

So this past weekend, M and I went to a gala for his work. We had such a great time. Free food and open bar with lots of friends there as well. I actually ran into someone I went to elementary school with - small world!

me and M

does this dress look familiar?

I wore it 3 yrs ago, haha.

This is only the 2nd time I've worn it so I figured it was okay :)

Then Monday came and it was time to go to school. I went to the gym in the morning like I said I would and actually felt great doing it! But at 3 o'clock, I was exhausted. I actually went to bed that night at 8:30, haha.

As for my classes, I'm taking Physical Science, a comp. class, Bio, concepts of math class (which I think I'll love because my teacher is amazing), Math internship and science internship. I start my math internship on Tuesday and I'm excited for that. I'll be in 2nd grade this semester!

My days are long and my professors have already loaded up the work for us but I know I'll make it through. It's all about balance. However, blogging does fall to the back burner. As much as I love it, school is my #1 priority right now. I'd like to make Dean's list again this semester :)

This weekend is the Super Bowl. Not to sure what we're doing yet though, or who I'm rooting for. Do I want the Steelers to win because they beat the Raven's? Or the Packers because the Steeler's have won too many times? Who are you rooting for if you're going to watch it?

I finally got my 3 free nail polishs in the mail (less s&h) thanks to Katie! I love the colors and can't wait to paint my nails :)

 

Thanks girls who have e-mailed me wishing me well in school :)
I'm glad you took the time to think about it!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

It's Monday. And bitterly cold. So here's to me rambling.

1. It was FREEZING this weekend. I mean a high of 15 degrees. (sorry to those who are suffering with FAR worse temps.) Totally not normal for MD though. I could hibernate and honestly be happy. Me and cold weather do not like each other. I did go out for dinner and drinks on Saturday night though with M. However, I felt like Randy from the movie A Christmas Story because I was SO bundled up.

2. We watched the playoffs yesterday. Glad to see the Packers win; Steelers, egh not so much. I was rooting for the Jets since the Steelers have 2 Superbowl rings in the past 6 years. I mean, isn't it time for someone else to win? M was happy though because his dad is a BIG Steelers fan.

3. As of next Monday, I will be one busy bee. Here's how the schedule is looking:

Mon:  Gym: 7:30 AM - 9AM

         Class: 10AM - 4:20PM

Tues: Class: 8:30AM - 3:40 PM

         Gym: 4 PM

Wed: Same as Monday

Thurs: Gym: 9AM - 10:30AM

          Class: 12:30PM - 4:20PM

Fri: Work and gym (until my boss doesn't work anymore. then this will become a homework day)

(Parking is TERRIBLE at school so I have to get there with enough time to get lucky and get a spot or stalk someone to take their spot. It's so annoying) 

Not too too bad. I have two internships and the rest are classes (all math & science, yuck.)

4. M and I have a gala to go to this weekend. I'm quite excited for it :) We get to dress up!

5. I just started reading the book Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult. I've never read any of her books before but my boss gave me about 5. So far, I'm really into it. I'm hoping I finish it before school starts. I know she wrote My Sister's Keeper. I didn't read that but I saw the movie and cried like a baby, haha. Have any of you read this book by her or others?

6. That's all I have for today.. Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend.

An update - finally!

So since I haven't blogged since basically the end of September, here's what's been going on in my life...

We celebrated my brother's

21st birthday

Joined and had a blast on

our co-ed football team.

There's more than 7 of us but we're

the ones who always went out afterwards.

We didn't make it to the championship

but there's always next season. Right?

Me and lover boy M celebrated

4 years of dating :-) [10.28.06]

(a pic from the summer time)

Celebrated Halloween.

What happened to my cape?

I had to take off the mask.

It was making me sweat!

(we don't know each other haha)

kisses for my joker

Snugs:

She's been good. Just doing what she does best:
Sleeping, playing, and being sneaky.

School

It's been nuts. There isn't a day that I don't have something to do for it. I honestly feel like we have the same amount of work as nursing students. The school I go to though does have the best education program in the state, which could explain why so much is expected from me. I cannot wait until Thanksgiving and Christmas break! I need a vacation big time.

Other than that, I haven't been up to much. My weekends consist of homework and watching football on Sunday's with the boy and friends. Fall is definitely here. I had frost on my windshield this morning. Life is a little hectic right now but good for sure :)

I hope you ladies are doing amazing! I'm sorry I haven't been commenting on any blogs but I'm sure you understand. Just wanted to let everyone know I'm alive and haven't fallen off the face of the earth because I know how worried you all have been (sarcasm). I hope to get around to reading blogs sooner than later! I miss you all and I promise to be back to regular blogging as soon as school lets me breathe for a minute :) For those of you who have stuck around, thank you! It sure does mean a lot.



What I'm Loving

I decided to participate in Jamie's WILW!

Her posts are always so positive and she's beyond sweet!

Go check out her blog :-) You'll love it.

This week I'm loving:

1. The fall weather! 

the changing of the leaves :)

2. Football

Not only do I love watching it every weekend, but I love the league M and I are playing in. I played my 1st game last weekend (it's 2 hand touch) and had the best time! A bunch of us from our team went out afterward to the bars the sponsor us for some food and drinks. My legs were pretty sore the next day but it was too fun not to play again :) Can't wait for this Saturday's game!

3. This new candle I just bought

Smells so good! Just like sugar cookies :)

(Bought at Bath & Body Works)

4. All of you!

After reading over my last post, I sounded like I was pouting and not happy. I'm the last one to have a pity party for myself. But you ladies didn't think like that. You all supported and encouraged me! You didn't judge for me writing about how I feel even if it wasn't happy things. Thank you for that! I am grateful for where I am in life and the life I have. One day at a time!

Hope you're all having a fabulous week!

My first football game.

This past Thursday, I went to my first ever football game! I can't believe I've never been to one before. It's probably because during the past 4 football seasons, M has been away at school during that time and it wasn't possible to go to one. It was the first pre-season Raven's game. M is FAR from a Raven's fan. Yes, he's from MD but just doesn't like them. Please, no hate mail! haha. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion :) I love him regardless. Besides that, he LOVES football and we had such a great time!

Raven's Stadium.

One of the first plays.

Please excuse how we look;
it was super windy and misting a little bit.

not quite sure why this is blurry
but I was so excited to be there :)

We were only able to stay until the 3rd quarter because it started to down pour! Luckily I had brought an umbrella and we were able to wait under a bridge for the light rail. It was a bad storm! We made it home safe though.

And yes, the Raven's beat the Panthers :)

GO RAVENS!

RAVENS beat the PATRIOTS 33-14
Moving onto next round!

(24 points in the FIRST Quarter - Amazingg!)

Heck yea! :)

SUPERBOWL HERE WE COME!
