Norweigan Cruise!!

Going on a Norweigan Cruise for spring break!! It's march 11-15 on the Norweigan Sky. We leave from Miami to Grand Bahamas, Nassua and Grand Stir up Cay. Josh and I will be going with Esteban and Bobby and a few other people. I'm so excited :)

So much!!

So much has happened since I last wrote. Lindsey had a naughty or nice party a cpl weeks ago. It was cool. Josh and I ended up leaving after about two hours with bobby and Esteban to go eat at Waffle House. We all decided were going to get a house together next year. All my finals went really well. I ended the semester with a 3.917 because I was 3 points short of an A in management and there wasn't anything she would let me do to get those three points. She's such a hard ass for no reason but whatever. Nick also had his 22nd bday. We went to king street grill and the soho. Girls 21+ got in free and got five tickets for free red bull and vodka.

Bear ran away at the beach one day and scare the shit out of me. The next time at the vet, he and Abby got microchipped. They both have their rabies shots now too. Bear is 6.13 lbs and Abby gained 5.5 lbs and is now 16.6 lbs!!!

I'm home now from school and I'm so excited to finally relax. Today, josh took me and Stephen to greenwood and josh taught me how to shoot a shot gun. It was a lot of fun but it was scary at first. When I first shot, it scared the crap out of me because of how loud it was and how bad the kick back was. But I kept shooting. I missed a lot of skeet but hit five targets. I was so excited!! I can't wait to go again.

Date night :)

Josh and I went to the Olive Garden on a date tonight after I got off work :) and I tried my first margarita. It was super yummy. Now were going to go hang out with Esteban and bobby.

Puppy mess

Josh and I got home today and found this huge mess plus pee allllll over the puppy's room. And I found a big leaf to put on bear as a cape :)

Day 3 insanity

Today I did the cardio recovery cd. I know I'm not going in order but I hate the fit test with a passion. I also ran/walked 2 miles while watching the Big Bang theory. I think I did pretty good for still recovering from my ankle. I didn't go to classes today but did get some breakfast with josh ad worked. I studied some for my accounting exam which I have to study alllllll day for on Thursday so that should be tons of fun.

Insanity day 2

Last night I did insanity cardio and resistance. It didn't seem like I spent any time working out at all it passed by so quickly. Although I felt like I was gunna puke but I guess that's my punishment for those two pieces of cake I made for dinner. We did a family dinner with Lindsey and Chanler. We ate healthy and had a grilled chicken salad. Today my soreness level is about an 8 only because of my calves. I can barely stand at first when I get off the couch but after I walk around some it's better. Hopefully I can keep this motivation work out streak for a while.

Insanity

Last night was a blast. Josh and I went to hang out with Lindsey and Chanler for a while and then went to Esteban's for pre gaming. Esteban gave me three shots of southern comfort which did nothing for me and then he had me drink a whole glass of it straight. It hit really quickly and was getting me drunker by the second. The gay club was cool. We caught the end of the drag show which was def an experience. Josh and I danced for a while and then bobby got kicked out so we left a little bit later.

Today was ammmmaaazzzing we did absolutely nothing almost all day. Just lazed around watching tv. At five, josh left for chapter and I went to the gym with Chanler. I walked for a mile and did some weights. I text Lindsey and we decided to do insanity. I didn't start with the fit test because it doesn't give me any motivation and it just sucks and hurts. But I pushed through it and did the best I could. As soon as I got back to the apartment I ate some chili and cleaned the whole apartment. Idk where I got all this freaking energy and I don't know why I don't have it everyday. Now me and the pups r n bed ready to sleep while Joshua works.

Trans Siberian Orchestra

As usual, they were freaking amazing!!!! They changed their story this year and their stage. I actually enjoyed the story more this year and I was able to follow it better. I missed a few things because my mind wondered but for the most part I got it all. This angel is given a task by The Lord that needs to be competed within a certain time limit. The angel doesn't know where to start but knows it needs somewhere were all the races are found and different cultures and things like that. The angel finds its spot in New York. He walks along the streets of New York and sees that they're all guarded except for this one building that says "vacant, because there is always room for one more". He decides to go to that building. Right outside of it, the angel sees a man telling a story to this group of children. The children are absolutely captivated by the mans stories and beg him not to stop. So the angel stays to listen. After many stories the angel comes back to reality and notices there's all these people, kids and adults, standing around the man also. As he notices this, he hears music coming from this bar and decides to go on in there. There's a man on stage calling people up to play music. Everyone of these people have an amazing talent at playing music and singing. The angel is amaze by this. This man brought all these people up to display their talents. Everyone is having a blast and not stopping to look at their watches. Even the bartender doesn't care that no one is drinking. The angel only has a few hours left to complete the task but there are always reasons for patience. A little while later, the angel notices this man that hasn't cracked a smile once. The man looks as if he hasn't allowed happiness in his life for years and he walks out of the bar. As he walks out, the angel follows him and sees drops of blood from this mans soul on the ground. He follows this business man and sees his soul weeping years he himself had never allowed himself to cry. The angel wondered what had happen to make this man so sad. The man had grown up to believe and have a strong faith. He was sent to an academy and taught all the rules. He met a woman and they got married. One day she comes to him and tells him she's pregnant. On the day of the birth, the man is waiting in the waiting room of the hospital. The doctor comes out of one of the rooms with a few nurses and regretfully says they tried everything they could for his wife but she started hemorrhaging and they couldn't stop the bleeding. She died and the child was cut off from oxygen for to long and became brain dead. The doctor said he'd never be able to hold a job, talk comprehend or even learn to walk. The man lost his faith and said what of his I'd this and how can this be? Why am I even in this world? The man tells the doctor to put the baby in the a state facility. The angels sees all this and understands. The man sees a little girl walking along the street and she's trying to catch snowflakes. As she's trying to catch one, she bumps into the business man. She looks up at him and asks him if he has an children and he replies with a rough "no". He turns away from the girl and walks slowly back home. He feels a pain in his heart because he knows he lied. He thinks about the child he left and if he's still alive. He calls the institution and the receptionist excitedly tells him that his son is alive. He spends most of his time in the hospital instead of the institution. The child learned to walk and can mostly understand what people say to him. The man asks the address to the hospital. He goes there and asks a nurse about where he can find his son. She leads him to the premature baby ward. He walks into a room and sees his son with an infant in his arms. The boy looks like the man but at a younger age. The premature baby is sleeping and not trembling or crying. The nurse whispers to the man that he has that effect on everyone. Right then, the boy looks up and immediately recognizes his father. He smiles with eyes that shine with forgiveness and past forgotten. The father turns around and walks away to the other side of the room to an incubator and picks up a baby, walks over to a rocking chair near his son and they rock the babies tgether all through the Christmas night. The angel goes back to lord with a list of names of people he encountered on the way. The Lord tells the angel he gave a man site that was never blind and added years to his life without giving him more time.

I love the story an then the second part of the show began. It was aaaammmmazzzziiiinnnngggg. During the last song of the show though, there was a malfunction and when the violinist and guitarist got on the risers, the spotlight only focused on the violinist. The guitarist was like what the heck and kept staring at the tech people. He looked kinda upset but it didn't effect the music. I can't wait for next year. I know it'll be just as amazing.

21st birthday blow out!

This has been an awesome week. Tuesday I officially bought my day glow ticket. Wednesday was my birthday and in btwn my two shifts josh ran me to the abc store and I made my first alcohol purchase. I got mango pirate bay and Malibu. I couldn't wait to get off work because a group of us were going to chilis to celebrate. Randy met me at the lab and josh came and got us. When josh opened the door I looked down and hear a really loud noise and screamed my head off and then everyone yelled SURPRISE!!! Josh had gotten a surprise party for me! And he bought me a cookie cake :). I drank some of my alcohol before we left and when we got to chilis I ordered my first drink. It was spiked lemonade. I had an exam the next day so I didn't want to get to drunk. Then yesterday, Fiji had an ugly sweater date party at tongys which was a lot of fun. I got my first wristband there. As soon as I got off work, we went to Esteban's place and started pre-gaming. I finished one water bottle full of my drink and then went to make another one to take to tongys. When I went in there a server came up to me and asked if I was 21 and then asked what I had in my bottle and I said liquor. Well apparently you can have liquor on their premises so I had to chug my drink. Kendrick had to help me but then I got really drunk and started dancing all over the place and being crazy but it was fun. Right now, josh and I are heading back home so I can go to the TSO concert with mom and dad. And then afterwards I'm goin to the blindhorse with Meagan. Tomorrow night josh and I are going to the gay bar with Esteban and bobby so that should be fun! So it's def been an amazing birthday week and still continuing!!

Day glow in New York

So since I'm going to New York for New Years, I wanted to do something fun. Anat and danni are going to day glow on New Year's Eve and I think I'm going to do it. It's gunna be $100 which is really expensive but il be staying at Esteban's place so that'll save some money. It'll be exciting though and I can't wait!!

Clemson vs. USC

Spent the day at moms until papa came by to pick me up to head to the game. He came to get me around 3 and we got sissy and took off with all the tailgating food and enough blankets and clothes to keep a small army warm. There was surprisingly hardly any traffic but when we came into our lot of parking, it was all taken up so we had to park on a hill that we made into a parking spot. Papa made BBQ sandwiches and sliders and a few other sandwiches. Sissy was already freezing even though it wasn't that cold yet. After we ate, we hung out in the car until it was time to go in. Sissy and I got into the stadium an hour before the game started. I enjoyed the game even though Clemson lost. I got to spend time with my family and laugh. That's all I cared about.
