It's your lucky day.

I know. I know. You can hardly believe your eyes, right? I am, in fact, presently posting to my blog. It's been months since I've done a legit post, but I've got valid excuses for that. I mean, with school, and the seventeen billion weddings I've had, you can cut me some slack.

Now that school's started back, I've been going a little bit crazy. Just to be perfectly honest, I'm spread quite thin. I've got a research paper and a PowerPoint project due in 2 weeks. Those two assignments are my ONLY assignments for one of my classes. Let me just tell you, if you ever think that taking 19 hours in one semester might be easy, THINK AGAIN. Don't do it! haha I'm usually one to encourage folks about school, but nineteen hours PLUS a 40 hour work week is insane. Trust me.

This post will be random, I'm most sure.

I'm so excited about this weekend, I could scream!! (The girls I work with might find that a little inappropriate for the office, OR they may just be used to hearing outbursts from me.) Jacob and I are going to Auburn! War Eagle!! I can't wait to see that eagle circle the field and watch Auburn beat Clemson. Oh, and did I mention that ESPN's GameDay is going to be there? Oh yeah. It's happening. Plus, I get to see Linds and the entire Auburn crew. It's been so terribly long since I've seen any of them. Lindsanity (as I'm now going to refer to Linds) and I are even exchanging birthday presents. And I don't know anyone who doesn't love giving or receiving gifts. I even got a new navy dress to wear to the game Saturday.

ALL AUBURN. ALL IN. BLUE OUT.

In other news, the boyfriend got me a claddagh ring for my birthday :) I thought it was completely sweet!!

Also, Haley's back from her mission trip!! I was so extremely excited to have her back. I also realized how relieved I am that I can pick up the phone and call her at any time, or just drive the 2 minutes to her house if I need her. It's so nice and something I definitely took for granted before she left for a year. We spent a week in NYC upon her arrival. Here are just a few of my favorite photos from the trip!!

Birthday dinner at Butter (the same place that hosted Beyonce's birthday party the week before!)

We even gave out free hugs in Times Square :)

So, as you can see, I've had a LOT on my table as of late. I must return to research paper writing and test taking...unfortunately. This whole school business is keeping me from reading the THREE new books I can't wait to dive into:

and...

(By the way, the boyfriend and I just watched this movie. Even though it had subtitles, I would recommend it to anyone!)

I just want to leave you all with a promise to blog more regularly AND a

WAR DAMN EAGLE!!



What?!

A BLOG POST from ME?!

I know you're thinking your eyes are playing tricks on you. They aren't. I can promise you that!

My life has been crazy busy for the past couple of months. We've gone to several weddings, gotten the boyfriend moved, transitioned into my very LAST semester of school :), and have been getting ready for Haley's return.

I am leaving tomorrow night at 6:30pm for my trip to New York City. The greatest part of this trip you might ask? Haley will be hopping off a plane at JFK International at 2:30 Friday afternoon. I can't wait to hug her to death. Seriously!!

You can expect at least one or two more blog posts upon my return ;) Hopefully I can get back into the swing of things pretty easily!

I mean...

Could I please just BE Heidi Klum??? I mean, she's incredibly gorgeous, has a great career, and balances all that with being a Mom to 3. I'd even take Seal : )

Also...

What do you guys think of Michelle William's haircut here? She's the one on the far upper right.

Okay, so I've been in blogger digress mode for like a month now. Still...I am very sorry and want to apologize. I could continue to tell you exactly how busy I am, but I'd rather tell you something worth reading.

Drumroll please.............................

I'm in the works of having a more organized, expected flow to the blog. I've come up with a few ideas already for themed days...I've just got to figure out a few more. Keep watching, I promise I'll return to blogging again SOON.

Let's go ahead and face it, I've been a HORRIBLE blogger as of late. I've neglected it, mostly because I've been crazy busy this month. I really respect all the diligent bloggers out there. I mean, if this blog was my JOB, I would definitely be a lot better about making posts. Seeing as I have two other jobs though, I've slacked.

For this, I greatly apologize!! I promise to be better. I'll soon give you photos and details into my crazy summer :)

Oh, and this is my 100th post. Wow! Go me!!

Okay, so I stumbled upon some lyric art this morning.

Can you say, jackpot?! :)

If you know me even a little bit, you know that I absolutely LOVE music. I mean, it's my passion. I sing at church, I sing in the car, I sing in the shower, I'm constantly singing. And if I'm not singing, I've normally got some music blaring from somewhere.

And I like all kinds of music. While singer/songwriter is my favorite style, I also love some rap AND the remixes available thru gLee!! (Oh yeah, I'm a totaly gLeek!!)

So, here are a few pieces of lyrical art that I would love to have printed and framed. Maybe once I have a place of my own?

Fourth of July OH 10!!!

I thought the easiest way to show you what I did on the 4th was thru pictures, right? It was a fantastic weekend...and I actually learned a LOT. Here's a couple of snapshots:

Me and Merica

Jacob's sister, Ashley and me (this was taken during a break from an exciting game of cornhole)

Beautiful, right? I love him :)

I loved this one!

Hope everyone had a Happy Fourth of July!!

First things first, the Fourth of July is my ALL TIME FAVORITE holiday!! There's just something about being out on the lake, enjoying time with family and friends, great food, excellent concerts, and FIREWORKS!! Seriously. I love this weekend more than any other time of year!!

Secondly, I just booked my flight for NYC for September 2nd thru the 8th. I'm soooo excited about being back in New York, but I'm even more excited about seeing my Haley!!! I can't believe it's been a whole year! I can't wait to take pictures, hear all about her adventures, and hopefully have a few of our own before we come back home! : ) In the meantime, I'll leave you with some of my favorite photos of me and Haley Bug.
