It has been a while since I have blogged. Life is so busy with teaching, working out, and planning a wedding. I had a great Thanksgiving, I can't beieve it already came and gone.
Time is flying by, my birthday is on Thursday. I am going to be 24! I was talking with an old friend, we were talking about how when I was in college I NEVER thought I would turn 21. I was the baby out of all my friends and I just wanted to be 21. I love getting older. Every birthday is a celebration of the past and my future. Every birthday should be a victory, because I survived. Life is hard and it is only making me stronger.
So cheers to a wonderful year that has come and gone!

Doesn't get any easier

7 years ago today my mom died. Every day that goes by I think of her. It feels like it has been forever since I got to hold her hand, but then again it feels like it just happened yesterday. The saddness doesn't ever go away, I can get through the days with no problem... but the thought of her is always with me.
I miss her smile, her laugh, her hands, her hugs, her smile, even her picking, nagging, and selfishness.

Today wasn't a bad day, it was actually a great day!!! My besties and I spent the day together! I love them so much, I couldn't ask for a better day. In the back of my mind has been how much I miss her and how I would do anything to have her back.

Cheers to seven years of pain and growing.

Boooo

Happy Halloween!!!

Matthew and I have carved our pumpkins and bought the candy, we are ready for Halloween! My school is having our Fall Harvest Festival tomorrow, it will be such a busy day. Have a spooky Halloween!!!

My Lindz

Lindz came in town weekend before last! I needed that kind of weekend. We hung out and caught up. I miss getting to be with her like that. She was the best roomate, I miss getting to see her.
Saturday night we went out to dinner with matthew and my fav place! Then we went out the most hilarious bar. I love going there with her... she and I always have so much fun watching people. We call it the people zoo!!! Every room in a different type of bar... 80's room, coyote ugly, club room, country bar, and karoke!

We met these awesome guys and this really cool girl that live by me!!! We went over to their house till 4am. I had to get up the next morning at 6am to leave for the Titan vs. Texan game. I was so tired. But it was worth it, I had the best time. Those guys were really cool. Lindz and I got to play Wii for the first time. Wii is the best thing ever. I HAVE to have one.

Tuna does Vegas

I have never hear of Greater Tuna until Matthew and his parents told me all about it. They love it! So I was sure I would love it just as much. Just the home page of the Greater Tuna website cracks me up;)

So we went to the play at the Paramount downtown. First we had the Vegas themed dinner at the Stephen F. Austin Hotel. Tuna does Vegas was hilarious!!! I couldn't stop laughing. The whole play is just these two guys that play several characters. They play some of the best woman characters. It kept me laughing the whole time!


One of the things I enjoyed the most is getting to spend more time with my family. Matthew's parents are so sweet and do so much for us. I don't know what we would do without them. I love my life!

Red River Rivalry

The best and worst weekend! This past weekend, Matthew and I were in Dallas for the UT vs OU game at the Cotton Bowl. This is absolutely the most looked forward to game of mine. This was my very first game last year and it is insane how differently I feel this year. Over the past year I have been to so many games and I have really become involved.
Who would have ever thought that I would love a team this much. When I met Matthew, I used to sit around with my besties and tease him. Now I know how he feels, I love this team. I have this hate inside for OU... they are the dumbest fans ever. I have never seen such rude fans before. This was the closest game in a decade, 28-21 stupid sooners won. OU still sucks, just wait till next year!

We have had 57 wins, 40 loses, and 5 ties! Ok just a quick wrap up from the weekend, I really need to get to bed! Another day of work.

When we are all friends

Tonight is deemed my lazy night! When I got off, the only thing I wanted to do is rest. Teaching is one of the most draining things, especially with the students I have this year. So tonight is my night to catch up on tv and hang out with matthew.

The song of the moment,
Unkle Bob ~ One by One

One by one
I suffer you gladly
One by one
You're all I don't need

And you couldn't see the wood from the tree
Your eyes are unkind
So don't look at me
All that you know is written in stone

One by one
I suffer you badly
One by one
You're all I don't need

And life on the road makes you feel alone
Remember the time when friends were around
When friends were around
When we were all friends

Is this the way to be?
Is this the way to be?

One by one
One by one

Dallas, Besties & Dave

Friday night, I made it to Dallas and got to see my very best friends! Ana and I caught up while going to meet Lindz at our fav place to eat. After talking about work and letting off steam we headed off for martinis and dessert. I couldn't ask for better friends. We have a blast no matter where we are. We laugh the entire time! The martinis were yuuuuummy and hit the spot.

Saturday was a perfect day of shopping and then we were off to the Dave Matthews Concert! Out of all of the Dave concerts I have been to, this is by far one of my tops. It was a perfect Set List... he played some of the most amazing freestyles, uhhh I loved it.

We have another girls weekend coming up so soon, I can't wait!!! This weekend Matthew and I will be in Dallas at the Texas State Fair for the UT vs Oklahoma game!!!!!!!! This is my favorite game of the year, Texas needs to really step up their game for this weekend. Come on Texas!

My Old Blog has been PUBLISHED!

How is awesome is this!!! Today was a greeeeat day. Even though when I got up and tried to go to work... my car wouldn't start. I drove Matthews car to work and my awesome future father in law took it in for me. It needed at new battery, it still had the factory battery from 6 years ago... so I consider myself lucky.
So when I got home I had my old blog... My Thoughts... My Life book at my door.
The book is soooo big and the exact way I wanted it to be. I had my old blog from September 2004 to December 2006. I stopped writing my old blog because it was my college blog, so since I graduated I wanted to go ahead and print it out.

It's awesome because I wouldn't change a thing. There are so many great memories from college. This book is something I will always have to look back upon.

Not only did I get my book that I have been working on for months, I got my HELLO KITTY swimsuit. You will soon start to realize I am ooooobsessed with Hello Kitty.

Today has been such a great day. We are about to go to dinner and I will have to post ACL recap later!

1,2,3,4 Tell me that you love me more

This weekend Lindz and her new hubby came to visit! Roy is leaving for Iraq so soon. I am so sad for Lindz, I couldn't imagine being without matthew for that long.

But I got to spend some good quality time with my bff. I didn't go to the UT game, I was so sad. But Lindz, Roy and I went to San Marcos Saturday and floated the river. It was a blast. We drank way too much, floated the river 4 times, road a trailer bus about 5 times, saw over 40 Asians, way too much went on. We had so much fun! Now they are gone and I miss them.

Time Flys

So after a very long day of work I get off and remember I have a water camera developed at Wallgreens. See I found this old water camera in box when we moved, it still had like 15 more pictures on it. So I used it this weekend when we went to the river (I will post about that later)!



This weekend is the 2007 Austin City Limits and I am so excited!!! But how ironic is it that the old camera I got developed today was the camera I took to ACL last year. Last year, Matthew, Lindz and I went to the ACL festival on Sunday. It was hot and rainy, but an amazing day.

This year Matthew and I are going together, we got a three day pass! I can't wait! It is suppose to be beautiful weather and no rain like last year!

Moments of college

In case you aren't a picture freak like me, you might not know that yahoo is discontinuing their yahoo photos. I haven't uploaded an album in over a year, now all of those old college pictures are transfered to photobucket. I am going through some of them... man I had the time of my life.

Cheers to good times and memories of college...

I can go on and on and on with pictures! I am so happy to have the millions and millions of pictures. College was the time of my life and I loved every minute of it. Yes there were definitely some hard times... but those times are over. Whatever didn't kill me, definitely made me stronger. Thanks to all those friends that made my college life so special!
