I wish weekends were longer!!!!!

Hello again!!! The past few weeks have been crazy busy!!! I am just now getting to update. Work is going really good. I have been talking to a lot of people with my company about my future there!!! I think things are going to be good in the end. I have just been praying about that everyday!! School is good, as well!!! I was getting into the swing of things and then the ice storm came and no school for a WEEK!!! It took a lot for me to show up on Tuesday and Thursday trust me!!!! Tests start this week, but I am so ready to be out of school it is not even funny. I applied for graduation and paid my $25 to the U of A. Why was I surprised that I would have to pay to graduate??? They crack me up. I will be getting my cap and gown in the next few weeks plus ordering my announcements. I am very excited about my graduation party because I will get to have one big one!!! Usually, my mom has one and then my dad's family has one for me, but not this time they are planning it together. I cannot tell you how happy that makes me. Mom has already told me some of the plans she is making and it is going to be so awesome. I told her I wanted a Razorback cake, of course, with the fight song on it! Ha.

So right now I am just working and finishing up school. I have been working a lot, but it is going to pay off in the end. Ki is going to be going to the vet in the next couple of weeks to get fixed and get her teeth cleaned and a few pulled. I am a little nervous because she is so tiny, but she is fine!! I am off the day for a dentist appointment as well so I will be anxious to pick her up. My gallbladder appointment was Friday because it was rescheduled due to the ice storm. I should know when my surgery is going to be tomorrow.

Besides school and work, I have been out a few times with friends and a special person!!! My birthday is coming up so I have been figuring out what we are going to do for that. It should be fun!!! I know some old friends are going to be attending!!! Oh and don't forget Valentines' Day!!! I can't wait to see what I get from a VIP!!! I have been to the movies a few times and I have plans to see a few more movies in the next few weeks!!! Why is it that all the movies I like come out at the same time? I have never been to the movies this much in my life especially in the past two years!! I wonder why???

These movies were so good!!! I cried like a baby in Marley & Me!!! I cried worse then ANY other time in my life!!! Seriously!!!! I hope I will be like Renee in New in Town come this May!! That is my goal anyways!!! There are a few more movies I will be seeing and I will post about them after I have been to see them!!! I guess I better get off here and finish up my DVRs from the past week. I hope everyone has a wonderful week!!!

Good bye for now, Liz!!!!

Out with the Old, In with the New!!!

I decided to take my bathroom decorations in my bathroom and put them up in my guest bathroom.

I put new decorations in my bathroom. I decided to use Chocolate Brown and Light Blue. I found the perfect shower curtain and I decorated around. I am still in the process of finishing up pictures and accessories, but I love it so far!!!

I used Chocolate brown rugs, but they are not like the usually fluffy bathroom rugs they are more flat. I have simply flowers and matching decorations on my counter. I got a recliner and an ottoman for my living room when I got back from DC. They are ivory suede!!! My next project is to get a new comforter and curtains for my room!!!

I had a busy weekend and I got some good news regarding some new friends!!! I actually got to hang out with several friends this weekend and I loved every minute of it!! I had church and church dinner today!! My gallbladder is giving me some pain today so I am so excited to get this thing removed. I have a busy week ahead so I don't know when I will be back on to update!!

Have a good week!!

Some of Christmas...

I wasn't able to share my Christmas with you because I was getting ready for DC. My dad and step mom did make it up the day after Christmas! We had a really good visit it was short but good. I went to a couple Christmas parties that my friends hosted. I went to 5 Christmas gatherings in total. I am posting some pictures of my Christmas week!!!

My Dad and I under the Mistletoe!!!

My Dad and Step Mom

Savannah (my cousin), Nanny, and I

The plate I painted for my dad and step mom in Razorback colors. They loved it!!!The plate I painted for my mom and step dad in neutral colors so mom could display it anywhere!! I had so much fun painting and making crafty items for Christmas presents this year!Lyndsay and I were working and doing family stuff so we were unable to get together and exchange Christmas presents until I got back from DC. We met for dinner at our favorite Italian place and exchanged our presents. This is Lyndsay with her ornament and her magnet I got for her in DC!!

And this would be me and my little angel!!! We had a photo shoot in front of my Aunts christmas tree!!! I don't know what I would do without her in my life!!! She is my everything!!!!

Life is so Busy!!!!

Wow, I don't even know where to begin!!! I haven't written since December. Well, I went to Washington D.C. to stay with my cousin for a week. Words cannot explain to you how awesome it was!!! We were busy everyday. I took over 400 pictures. I realized when I how much I missed her being in my day to day life when I was there that week. Our flight left Monday at 6 am so we had to get up at 3 am to get ready to be there on time. We had a nice flight there and I had a nice flight back. I was introduced to a completely different atmosphere there that's for sure, but I LOVED IT!!!! Here are some pictures below:

At the airport at 5am in the morning!!

At the Lincoln Memorial on the first day. The weather was great, but I wore the wrong shoes this day. I thought my feet were going to fall off!!!

Here I am in front of the capital!!

At the American History Museum with a huge purple quartz.

We had a wonderful New Year at one of Crystal's friends in Maryland. We had an interesting driving experience on our way there, but if hadn't been on the phone Crystal might have not been distracted. We did some shopping and ate at some really cool restaurants. I came home on Saturday and rested up for the next week. We celebrated my mom's 43rd birthday. I got her a really cool gift in DC and I made her a Bailey's Cake for her party!!

Here she is with her cake!!! I couldn't ask for a more amazing mom!!! Sometimes we don't see eye to eye, but no matter what she is my Beautiful Mother!!!

I started school a couple weeks ago. It seems to be going really good. Now I am just trying to get things lined up for jobs and graduation in May. I met with my Boss' Boss to discuss my future with the company I am currently with, and I feel really good about staying there. I am planning on applying other places and maybe even out of this area.

I have just been spending time with friends and working out since the New Year has arrived. I started Pilates and Yoga. I love it!! It is amazing how much better you feel if you work out and drink water. I actually didn't get all my water in yesterday and I felt awful!! I couldn't believe I could tell a difference!! I have been eating extremely healthy and I have had nothing but water and milk in a month!!! I have lost some weight and I feel amazing.

I found out what was causing my stomach pains for the past 4 or 5 months, GALLSTONES!! Yes, I have Gallstones and I have to have my Gallbladder removed. I meet with the surgeon on Tuesday and I will probably schuedule it as soon as possible!! Apparently, they just show up in people. No one in my family have had them before?

Well I better get off here, I am going on a dinner date!! I got off work early since I have been working late on Thursdays. I hope you had a wonderful New Year and enjoyed my update on what I have been up to!!! I will try to get better at updating this more often!! Life is so crazy!! I think I have something to do every day and night of the week at this time in my life.
