My old blue jeans

Doesn't everyone have that one pair of jeans that are worn in, comfy, and totally made for you. I know my pair of Silver Jeans is that pair for me. Usually during the summer I swear off jeans (cardinal rule of fashion, show off your legs while you can), but lately I have found the silvers bring a certain sense of comfort in my life. Now that school has started back and a lot of things have changed. I am living somewhere new, new schedule, the bf has moved, so a comfy v-neck tee and the jeans bring a little bit of comfort and home into my new favorite comfort, and hey it is better then replacing it with food!

You all know how much I enjoy music, especially country, my new favorite is the David Nail tune, "Turning Home" love it!! If you haven't heard it, listen to it here!

Well I'm off to find the jeans and tee and then the usual homework!!!

quick post

so school is back in session for me as of today... as most of you know I have started my adventure in apartment life. I can't wait to post pictures since I have been sharing all my adventures in shopping around for the space this summer. Last night MB had an adventure with pizza. We definitely had no pizza cutter or pan, so we put the pizza on the rack and made the best effort to tear it apart evenly. It was quite hilarious!!! Other then that, I am getting back into the swing of life and classes.. blah!

One update I did want to post was about my best friend's mother I was recently telling you all about. Her surgery went really well and it turned out what they took out from her lung was scar tissue and she is CANCER FREE!!!! So that is wonderful to hear.

Well I am off to class again, I am going to try to be a more faithful blogger.....

Oh summer, why must you fly by so quickly???!!!

WOW!!! It has been so long since I have blogged and wow do I have so much to share. First off, last weekend after finishing my English class, the bf and his family were sweet enough to steal me away to Hilton Head for a couple days. It was such a wonderful trip. Here are a few photos from the trip....

So, in light of all the great news I have to share, there is a little bit of sad too. Suzanne aka the bestie, who is on the right, and her Mother DC in the middle all shared a recent trip to St. George Island. Over the last 3 and a half years her mom has had two bouts with Cancer. DC is such a fighter and an inspiration to us all, she is a great mother, friend, and mentor. This past week we received the news that her Cancer has returned... However we are all praying and she will fight through AGAIN! So, please be a prayer warrior for this family.. and I will be sure to update you on progress.

My final excitement is directed at the TV world. If you don't know it already, I am obsessed with Bravo... this week Rachel Zoe is back along with the premiere of the Real Housewives of D.C. I am an avid Real Housewives fan, but not sure how I feel about D.C. I would love to hear your thoughts. Also, love Rachel Zoe as usual, I am definitely Team Brad!!! The whole Taylor this was so ridiculous and I am frankly glad she is gone, so I am interested to see where this season goes...

Hope everyone is having a great week!

REFRESH!!!

I have decided I need a re-do on my page, there is so much I want to do, but I am not the best with computer stuff. I want to have a cute font and design at the top of my page... Can anyone help me with that?!?
I also want a twitter icon, so you all can follow me, because I am an obsessed Tweeter... I am even considering a new background.

Why all this change, I feel like I am getting a fresh start, yes sadly summer is ending, but wow has it been a changing summer for me. I have grown up a good bit, worked on the priorities in my life (they were a little messed up) I know I am bound to mess up along the way, but hey God is there with through every step along with a great support system, so I think I will be just fine!!! SO, I need every one's help, please leave me suggestions on how to REFRESH my page...

:)

Techno Savvy

I have come into the possession of some great technology lately, mostly for my apartment use, but nonetheless I am excited about all the new things I will be using.



my new printer

my new tv

Other than that I am continuing to get decor, I am getting excited about moving and I am super excited about my new stuff!!!

In other news I have to once again profess my love for Ann Taylor Loft!!! Being as petite as I am, I cannot find clothes to fit me as well as theirs do... This weekend I shopped and got a few items for fall.... the bf was sweet enough to surprise me with a shopping trip. I also got a few basics from H&M another fabulous place!!! Anyways off to finishing class work...

Overwhelmed

I thought summer classes were supposed to be simpler then those during the regular school year, but guess what they aren't. I am taking a 3 week English class and I hope it won't be the death of me. The only reason that I have been so stagnant in blogging is due to the fact that I am busy writing and editing papers....With only a week left I have two papers to write, one being a research paper and the word stress has become the only word in my vocabulary.

I promise to try to be better about posting on a normal basis, but I can't promise it will be exciting... it might be about werewolves that is what my class is based on, but not the hot ones like Jacob(team Jacob all the way) , but rather the scary ones... Hope you all have a wonderful week

Our Kind of Love

I pride myself on being honest, sometimes I am even a little to brutally honest, but despite that, I always want to be open with all bloggers who continue to read my posts ( and I gladly appreciate that)... but there is one aspect of my life that I have not been openly honest with each of you about and that is my relationships. It isn't something I am ever easy to discuss with, though I have a big personality I am quite private about dating matters. Anyways, I have decided that in order to make this blog truly mine that I need to open up a little about the subject. So here we go!

What began as a friendship 3 years ago turned into an amazing relationship a little over a year and a half ago as fate would have it. Not only a best friend, but a great listener, which is great for someone who loves to talk like me. Over the last year it has been a wild ride, we were inseparable my last semester of high school and some of the best memories of my life are from those few months, but soon enough I was off to college, while he completed his last year of high school at home.... while we experienced quite a few ups and downs and break there in between, this summer our paths have once again aligned and we are off on an exciting journey. While he is headed to Clemson and I back to my own University, we will be separated by exactly 3hrs and 6 minutes, but as summer comes to end and we soon part ways I go back to pictures from long ago that bring back great times.

The early days!

All dressed up!

I am really bad about taking photos lately so I don't have a recent one of us, but I promise to post one soon. SO as I prepare to transition back into school this fall, I listen to local Georgia artist, Corey Smith with my favorite line... "when the sun goes down in Georgia I'll be missing you".....and of course the famous lyrics from James Taylor

" And I'm going to Carolina in my mind" ......
