I think I forgot I had a blog...

Well, it has been some time since I have last wrote. I have been busy graduating and moving back home. That's what this economy will do to you. But fortunately for me... I have had an interview with Roper working as an Emergency Tech. I have a second interview with them this week. Cross your fingers for me. I am in desperate need of a job. I also plan on going BACK to school for Respiratory Therapy. I think this field is exciting and has a lot of room for moving up and educational growth.

This past weekend Brian and I spent 3 days in Rock Hill, SC for our dear friends Dana and Patrick's wedding! And what a wedding it was!! We had many laughs, HAPPY tears, and memories that will FOREVER be cherished. Dana is my first friend to get married, and I couldn't be more excited for her. It has been a long time coming for these two... since freshmen in highschool. A true all american couple. We had quite a time at the reception. Everyone danced and danced and danced. I mean to tell ya... we came to get down and that is exactly what we did. I couldn't have asked for a better weekend.

This week I'm hoping to hear for sure about this job. I am so anxious to start working. I get so bored around the house just sitting... there is only so many errands I can run and so much cleaning I can take. I need something constant (J-O-B) to keep me occupied. And is it bad I wish I was still in school... wishing I had an assignment to read and complete; notecards to make and study.... wow! What has gotten into me??

Shall I talk about my boy?? I don't say much about him on here, but I will be the first one to declare to the world that he is my better half and my best friend. He knows things about me that NO ONE else knows. He is the most kind and loving man I have ever met... besides Daddy of course! He brightens my day like no other and keeps me laughing constantly. He was a WONDERFUL date this past weekend for the wedding. He's quite the dancer. ;) I'm sure you all are gagging and sticking your finger in your mouth like little kids do when they even think about the idea of kissing and loving on one another. It makes me think of the Little Rascals.

Have a wonderful and blessed week. I'll be back in a timely manner, folks!

Hello Bloggers! How is everyone?? I am getting so excited about Thanksgiving as I'm sure you all are too. This year I will be bringing the boyfriend to meet the whole Stafford family! WOO! I know his head is going to spin once he walks into my Grandmomma's house and sees everyone! We are quite a large family on my Dad's side. :) Anyways, so today I was in a bit of a funk...so I had some therapy...RETAIL THERAPY that is. I hit up Old Navy...I wanted some cute sweaters and I found one. I'm still in search of the perfect boyfriend sweater in VIBRANT colors. Here are some of my purchases! I also got some cute scoop-neck tees, scarves, and a PURSE! :)









Unfortunately, I couldn't find my scarves online, but they're super cute! and match with the scoop-necks I purchased. I'm in love with this new color: "earthly." :) Hope y'all have a wonderful rest of the week and great weekend!!

Here I am back again...surprised?

So I'm back again folks. Crazy, huh? I've managed to blog again in quite the timely manner. Today has been quite a productive day or should I say productive afternoon. I have worked on my resume, emailed potential jobs, and did homework. And later off to the GYM! Woo Hoo! I am bound and determined to get back in shape. Spain must have really done a number on me. I'm quite sick with myself and absolutely refuse to let myself have the love handles and the arms that wave back at you when you wave to other people. Ladies, you know what I mean. Thankfully I have a boyfriend who is very set on going to the gym. I have even started doing weight work...yes, WEIGHTS. And I'm getting quite good at it. It's amazing in such a short period of time how your arms start to feel tighter and just a liiiitle bit more sculpted. And of course, I do my cardio. I run. Each day it's different. Sometimes I run just a mile and others 2.5 miles. It depends on how I feel that way. My boyfriend says be consistent with your runs, meaning milage. But hey, I'm running everyday and that's consistent enough! Getting one's self to the gym can be a task if you aren't already into it. But I'm getting there. 

Moving on shall we? Each day is getting closer and closer to graduation. I am very excited yet PETRIFIED! The real world? Who ever thought when we were little that we would actually arrive to the "real world" or "I can't wait to be a grown up." I thought it would never come; it just seemed forever away. Well hey everybody, it's HERE! It is another milestone in life that must be taken full force. Today I have sent out some emails to potential jobs. I really want to get a job working in a SLP (in lame man's terms: speech language pathologist) office. I think it would give me a better grasp on what I want to focus on when I get to grad school. And while working, I plan on studying for the GRE (ew.) and trying to get into grad school. More school? Yes! Two more years of it. But hey, these days sometimes it takes a little more than 4 years just to get a job. And for those who only need the 4 years and no grad school to get a good job-- I envy you with all my being. 

I suppose I'll wrap this up. I hope everyone has a good rest of the week and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

M.I.A.

Well hello world! I have been missing in action for quite some time. I have been busy getting back in the game with school and such. And having a boyfriend on top of that...I am one busy girl! I am excited to say that I will be graduating December 14, 2009 at 3:30 pm. WOO HOO! I will be a Carolina Alumni!
I am pretty excited to graduate. Although, I still have the GRE ahead of me. [Side note: I need to sign up to take it. YIKES!] I think I have decided to work and save money to put towards graduate school. You know, ease the monetary pain that my parents go through to put me through school. I feel it is the only right thing to do. 

Anyways, this fall weather is AWESOME! I'm loving the cool weather and sunny days. There is nothing like crisp mornings and changing leaves and chili...oh YUM! And lest us not forget, cute FALL clothes!! Here are a few of my favorites!









These are just a few wants that I have. I think they are all quite cute! What do y'all think?
