Birthday Celebrations

Today is this crazy kid's birthday! Now we are both out of our teenage years. Kinda crazy to think we met when we were in 8th grade and started dating at 16. Surprised him with Starbucks this morning before we both had to head to a long day at school. I love being able to show him, even in the smallest ways, how much I love and appreciate everything about him. Also, he's an amazing photographer/videographer and will hopefully have a website up soon! Bobby is the amazing guy who took this picture so you should check him out as well. Now exactly one week of school until I am officially half way through college. Our last normal chapel was today and they started by playing A Whole New World, the Pokemon theme song, and I Believe I Can Fly. I have so blessed by the entire worship team at my school and today was no exception. I can't believe 2 years have already flown by! Love my school and especially my guy.

Late Nights

Dead week at school starts tomorrow. This term has always been slightly terrifying to me. And yet staying up late for papers and studying only makes me happy to think about the 4 months of summer that lie ahead of me. 10 days from now I will be ready to stay up late without having to worry about papers or projects. I am ready to spend more time with friends and family and less time with my nose in a book. These last few weeks have been full of research papers and projects. The only highlights have been a bridal shower for my friend/future cousin-in-law and spending time planning summer trips. Give me those summer nights already.

Time flies

Today I celebrate 3 and a half years with this stud. It still amazes me how fast time flies. And yet I still get the same butterflies when I see him. Can't wait for the many years to come.

New beginnings

Isn't tax day a funny way to think of new beginnings? I get a feeling of accomplishment when I finish a project. There is also a similar feeling when the excitement of starting something new sets in. As a first post on my blog, I want to keep it simple. I am ready and excited for new beginnings. A new blog, an almost new summer, and friendships that get back to the root of why we are friends.
