I've had SEVERAL great memories.

Let's face it. I'm blessed. I've lived a fantastic life so far in my almost 25 years.

Day 04 - A picture of your night

Okay. I don't know if this is supposed to be a picture of my night TONIGHT, or a picture of my night LAST NIGHT.

So, I chose for myself :)

Last night, Jacob and I had a fabulous evening.

We ate leftover homemade meatball subs for starters (I'm craving one now. They're that good!!).

Afterwards, we decided to go see the new Liam Neeson movie, Unkown.

Before heading to the theater though, Jacob decided he needed gum, and I of course, wanted candy. We pulled in the Walgreen's and picked up these:

Best part about this??? It only cost us $1.09 WITH TAX!!

Crazy, right? I was so excited. haha Probably more so than I should have been.

P.S. You should go see Unkown. It was amazing.

Day 1-A picture of yourself with ten facts

1. I am allergic to nuts and latex, PLUS I've got a skin condition called eczema. Overall, that makes for a HUGE rash. It's also annoying to deal with. Just imagine, everywhere you go to eat, you have to make sure there are no nuts. I can't even walk into a P.F. Chang's without having an allergic reaction. Stupid, right?
2. I've found that one of the coolest things about growing up is that you aren't always friends with the people you thought you'd always be close too. That's definitely something that I wish I had known when I was in high school. So many things just don't matter in the big scheme of things.
3. I love the Lord with all my heart!! :) I am striving to grow closer to him each and every day.
4. I can't cook. I definitely want to experiment when I have a home of my own though. My goal is to always be open to cooking anything, no matter how hard it appears to be.
5. Basketball games make me a happy girl.
6. The boyfriend and I watch gLee religiously. It's kinda sad. haha
7. I said I wasn't going to watch The Bachelor or American Idol this year. Guess what? I'm watching them. haha
8. I wish I was craftier and had better handwriting.
9. I need to kick my shopping addiction.
10. I could spend all of my money on books. Seriously. I'm gonna have to have a library in my home one day.

It's SO Sad.

This is Toomer's Corner.

I don't wanna really get into it because it's ALL that anyone is talking about on Facebook.

A guy named Harvey Updyke poisoned the trees at Toomer's Corner...Auburn's longest standing tradition.

I don't ever really think about having fashion icons. I mean, I enjoy fashion. I try to always look good. I know that good doesn't always = trendy. Sometimes I bend the rules.

For example, I always paint my left pointer a different color than the rest of my fingernails.

Here are some clothes I would LOVE to steal away from these ladies.

Don't be confused though. I don't see any of these ladies as icons.

This dress of Emma Stone's is probably my favorite ensemble on the page. I love her hair and accessories.

I chose this picture more for the fact that I would LOVE to try a pixie cut like this, than the fact that she's wearing an adorable dress.

I love wearing this color blue. Come to think of it, I too few pieces that are this color.

Jessica Alba's bag is to DIE FOR. It looks to be the PERFECT carryall.

I would wear both ensembles that Kelly and Kellie are wearing here at NYC's Fashion Week.

Adorable date outfit ideas, right?

Crazy Love

How was your Valentine's Day?

Mine was absolutely wonderful!!

Seriously. As I've said before, I loathe the holiday really. I was really surprised to have an evening planned out that was incredibly fun AND relaxing. It was just what I needed after and extra special, super, crazy day at work. And it's all thanks to this guy:

He's absolutely CRAZY goofy about things, never taking life too seriously, and I love that.

I'm exactly the opposite. He's taught me that being a little more laid back can really make life more enjoyable. So thank you for that, sweetness! :)

Our Valentine's evening consisted of sweet confessions....

...followed by dinner at Newk's....

...and then we went to see:

I never expected this movie to really be that great (sorry to all you Jen Anniston fans) because Jennifer Anniston is in it. Well, I stand to be corrected. The movie was aboslutely hilarious!!

Oh, and I also got to splurge on a frozen cherry coke.

The evening was an absolute success!!

And I got a weekend trip to Nashville to boot!! Now I just have to decide when I want to go. Any ideas about things we should do while we're there? I haven't been to Nashville since Opryland closed when I was 12.

I'm open to suggestions.

K? Thanks.

P.P.S. I felt bad for Martina McBride and Florence from Florence and the Machines having to sing after Christina, Jennifer, and Gloria. I mean, what an embarassment!!

J Hudson was killing it!!

On my mind...

Marsha yawning...every five seconds. literally.

• Lately I've been eating like a high school boy. Ya know, pizza, cokes, ice cream, potato chips, chocolate. Something's gotta give. I don't have a clue what's up.
• So, it snowed again last night. I didn't even get a little bit excited. I mean, we've seen more snow this year than I've ever seen in my entire life...and it's only FEBRUARY!! The snow, while beautiful, is just becoming more of hassle. I feel sorry for the highschool kids. I bet they'll be going for the 4th of July. No joke.
• Tonight Jacob and I are having a gLee catch up evening. He missed the after Super Bowl episode, and we both missed Tuesday night's episode. Thank the good Lord for hulu! haha
• I need some new music. Know any good stuff?
• I've been having a slight problem with my wardrobe lately. I'll come up with all of theses cool outfit ideas (with clothes FROM my closet), and then I'll stand in front of the closet acting clueless. Maybe I should start cataloging my ideas...or at least writing them down.
• I still want to start doing outfit posts. I'm too sissy for it though.
• Immaturity is KILLING me right now!! At times, I feel as though I'm surrounded by it.
• I know that I've mentioned before that I have like twelve weddings this year, but I'm finally getting excited about them all. Whoop whoop!!! Weddings are like, my thing. Seriously. Now, if I can find 12 beautifully flattering dresses...
• This weekend is going to R-O-C-K. I mean that in a literal since. I'll be doing some driving, and seeing a LOT of different people. I'm pretty pumped. Wanna know what I'll be doing? Here's a quick run down:
• Friday- working until 4:30, Jacob's planning our date night in Huntsville
• Saturday- Tiffany and Wayne are getting married at 10:30 am (Have I mentioned that this will be a Mennanite wedding? I'm pumped. It'll be my first experience.), go home and pack, drive to Cullman for a Girls Night at Mary Helen's
• Sunday- get up at 8 and get ready for church, drive from Mary Helen's to Huntsville to meet Jacob, church, eating Surin of Thailand with Jacob's grandparents, going to Gran's, relaxing
• Email vs. Facebook...which do you prefer? Sometimes I like the old school style of communicating via email better. Hmm...
• I have a confession. I recently bought Miles to Go. If you aren't familiar, it's Miley Cyrus's autobiography of her short 16 years. I'm excited :) Secretly though. Fo sho.
• There are a TON of movies I'm really wanting to see right now:
• The Social Network
• Salt
• Megamind
• The Roommate
• True Grit
• The King's Speech

but isn't he dreamy?! :)

On my mind...

Pieces of Me

• I'm sick and tired of this weather already!! I mean, just come out again SUNSHINE. Please.
• K. Thanks.
• The weather only makes me want to do completely unproductive things. It's crazy lazy and makes me feel sloppy.
• I helped Haley (Jacob's little sister) pick out a prom dress via cell phone yesterday afternoon.
• It was fun actually getting to have an opinion. :) Preparing for prom is one of the only reasons I'd even go back to high school.
• Thank goodness it isn't reason enough.
• Having graduated in December, I plan to never go to school again.
• I know. I know. 'Never Say Never! (Isn't that the name of the new Beiber movie?)' That's the advice that people always give you. I think they only say it because it's the only appropriate thing to say. You know most of you would agree with me on the fact that once school is OVER, you don't wanna go back. Right?
• I gave in to a guilty pleasure last night.
• It's so awesome that I almost want to skip GG with the girls at Jamie's tonight.
• Key word being almost. haha
• We're having Mexican Pizzas and guacamole tonight.  (Avacodos are some of my faves...in case you didn't know.)
• I'm sure I'll also continue my growing addiction with Pretty Little Liars as well.
• Wanna know the most excitement I've gotten out of the day today?...I scored me and Jacob two tickets to a Havoc hockey game for later this month. They even threw in two FREE Huntsville Havoc hats. I mean, we'll look supa fly, right? haha I can't wait!!
• The boyfriend and I are going to Auburn next weekend. I absolutely can't wait for that trip either. We're staying with Aimee and Tyler.
• Best part? EVERYone is coming down that weekend. I think we'll sort of use it as a Moto Engagement celebration :)
• Jacob and I haven't been out in forever, so I'm pumped.
• Now, I just need to get started on planning my outfits.
• Speaking of, I had the most horrible morning trying to decide what to wear to work. So much so, that I came with my hair wet.
• Nope, not joking.
• The weather is calling for snow flurries tonight and a big snow on Thursday.
• This year has brought more snow than I've ever seen in my life.
• Although snow always reminds me of mine and Jacob's first kiss (it was outside in the snow...romantic isn't he?), I'm sick of it.
• Aren't you?
