GUESS WHAT!guess what, guess what, guess what!

I am finished with KTIP! Hallelujah!!! If you talk to me I promise I will be in a much better mood than the last time we talked (wait about a week thought because I am PMSing.) I have been celebratory dancing to this song all afternoon. Whatever you are doing right now, stop doing it and just dance to his song.

What I'm Loving Monday!

Hey girls! Due to my crazy, stressful schedule I have been lacking on my blogging. Since I have some free time today I decided to alter the famous "What I'm Loving Wednesday" and tell you all instead What I'm Loving Monday!

1. I'm loving that my niece is going to be 1 on Thursday! I can not believe it has been a whole year, but oh my goshhhhh she is just so sweet! I got to spend a lot of time with her while I was home for Easter and she just melts my heart :)

2. I'm loving that Dancing with the Stars is on tonight! Me and DC watch it every Monday and then get up and dance around the house together on commericals (We are thinking about taking dance lessons together this summer! I think it would be so much fun) haha It's one of my favorite shows and is a great ending to my Monday's :)

3. I'm loving that by the end of this week I will be done with this semester!! Yayy!! 2 semesters down only about 4 more to go!!

4. I'm loving my new flowers I planted! I was feeling like working in the yard last weekend so me and DC went and bought some cute little flowers and planted them out front! I'm such an adult haha You should all make a trip to my house to see them haha

5. Lastly, I'm loving WEDDING PLANNING! (Jane Ann's...not mine! haha) In some way or another I think about the wedding, shower, party, etc a little every day. lol I hope this is not wrong. Stay tuned for further details about wedding shower/bachelorette party fun :)

I miss you all very much! For those of you still in school good luck with finals and for those not good luck with life in general haha Love you girls :)

Random thoughts.

Well, first I'd like to say I am currently giving Britney a round of applause for blogging! Sometimes when I start reading the blogs it takes me a minute to realize who wrote it so naturally I was like hmm, who's this by? Then I kept reading and my day was made. It's the little things... haha! But I agree with Britney...y'all just make my day on this little blog. Love reading about your lives when it's been a while since we've talked!!

So life is hectic lately to say the least. It seems like the semester is ending at rapid speed and I am drowning in work. I have tried to be pretty productive lately though since I'm going home next weekend for Easter and I have a research paper due the Monday after. Rude! Who does that?? So, I'm rewarding myself with a little blogging.

For those of you wondering...TJ and I are still doing whatever it is that we are doing. And let me just say, it has not been easy as of late. I think I forgot how long distance relationships work. (ok, let's be honest, I think I forgot how all relationships work since it had been like a lifetime since I'd been in one) I hate not being able to see him or hang out with him whenever I want. I also hate that all our time is scheduled. We can't just spontaneously say "let's go get icecream!" Don't get me wrong, I love a Blizzard as much as the next girl, but I'm probably not going to drive 3.5 hours each way to get one. But that doesn't mean I don't want to any less. Does that make sense? I would love to be able to just drive in every weekend and see him but my grades and the gas prices do not like that idea. Sometimes it's hard too because I feel like he has a job and nothing on the weekends so he should be willing to come here whenever. Well, he's not. He is taking this little test called the MCAT in two weeks and well it is slowly melting my soul. I hate that test and I've never even taken it. It's been really hard trying to work around the ridiculous Princeton Review class schedule and all that other mess. With that class/taking the test has come a lot of stress. And I've learned that his stress= shutting down. Aka not really talking a lot, being crabby, and just generally not himself. We had a nice longggg talk about it one night and I feel like he was really honest with me about how stressed he is about the MCAT and PA school stuff (he applied to PA school and is taking the MCAT...long story short the PA school hasn't gotten back to him either good or bad news and everytime he calls they tell him the same thing "we are still reviewing applications" it's rolling admissions and basically it could be August before he hears anything and he sent his application in last August... unprofessional and not rolling admissions if you ask me!! so now he has to take the MCAT not really knowing if everything relies on his score and it's just a mess) I mean who can blame him for being stressed...he has no idea where he'll be or even what he'll be doing come August. So right now he's working on dealing with his stress better and I'm working on not reading into things too much (yes, that is by far my fatal flaw--well, one of many) But we do have a beach trip planned for the first weekend in May. It's the weekend after he takes the test and the week of my "summer break" and I think it'll be really good because it'll be time for just us to really see what is going on. I know that I really care about him and I feel like he's really showed me that I can trust him but at the same time I feel like every time I get really comfortable we will get in a stupid fight or have some deep conversation that makes me put walls up again. I know that with all the hurt I experienced before it is a process but part of me is scared that it will always be that way.

Life in Louisville has been kind of rough lately. I have been really homesick...not sure why. I think some of it has been because I want to just be able to see where TJ and I are but the majority of it is that I just really miss my family. I feel like I miss out on so much when I'm here. Babies growing up, people moving, and even just missing birthday dinners is hard. But like I said in my last post, I know I am supposed to be in Louisville. Too many amazing things and amazing people have come into my life since i've been here. So right now I'm dealing with it.

Just FYI- in a year and 2 weeks I will never take a test again! WOOHOO. I will be packing my bags and heading out to where ever my externship leads me. SCARY! I'm in the process now of trying to look around a little bit at possibly placements, but man- it's tough and nerve-racking! But the process will be here soon enough.

I went to Chicago last week for school and had a BLAST! (but I wish Gina had been there!!!!) It was a nice break even though it was for an audiology conference. I love Chicago, but I was ready to come back. A few of the girls in my room were about to drive me insane. One girl went to Chicago with literally $20 in her bank account! TWENTY DOLLARS!!! TWO-ZERO! She was a mooch on cab rides, got an attitude about paying for gas to get to and from, and didn't pay me back for the hotel until this past Wednesday. Call me crazy but she probably should have sat this trip out! Don't ya think?? The other girl had been to Chicago once before and acted like she was born and raised in Sears Tower. Someone would ask a question and she'd be all over it trying to answer. And if she thought you didn't know the answer or said something wrong, she pulled out her Droid and googled it. So, I was ready to get away from those girls but Whitney, Katie(the other girl in our room) and I had a great time and tried to ignore Miss Broke-as-a-joke and Miss ChicagoQueen as best we could and still had an AMAZING time! I think we should all go there with the REAL Chicago Queen...Miss Gina Trauger! That would be so fun!! I realize this can't happen for like 10 years because of school, life, jobs, etc. but just a thought :)

Ok, time to get back to work- trying to finish two presentations and a paper in two days. I think it's doable. Anyway, love you girls so so so so so so much! Missing you!

I know you all are probably falling out of your chairs right now because I am ACTUALLY blogging!! To tell you the truth I often forget about our little blog which is why I never post anything (so sad) Anyways......I just spent the last 30 minutes catching up on everybody's life....and it made my day! Over the past few months, I kind of feel like my life has been crashing down all around me. I have a huge weight on my shoulders with all the demands of school, marriage, and just life in general. I am having trouble finding happiness and contentment these days.....laughter and smiles have been few and far between. But...today when I opened the blog and I saw a picture with all your smiling faces and I read your stories of all the things that you "like" and that you are thankful for.....it boosted my spirit and made me SMILE! It made me realize that I have been focusing on all the wrong things in life. There are good things that are going on around me and I just have to open my eyes to see them. It's the little things like warm spring weather, engagements, visits with family, reading blog posts by friends that will keep me going! It just made me realize why I love you all....you can turn my day around and change my perspective even when your not around! Thanks for that! Anyways....sorry for being sappy haha I will probably be blogging ALOT more over the next few weeks because I am being shipped to the middle of nowhere in South Carolina for an internship. Just gotta get through 7 tests in the next 2 weeks then off to Greenwood for 6 weeks!

I miss you all soooo much and can't wait to see you this summer!

Oh Girl. I am so loving Wednesday.

Good grief (that's "well shit" in first grade teacher language), it sure has been awhile. Why you ask? Well I have not loved Wednesday for awhile. Or Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday for the matter. I have however, hated KTIP. But you are in luck because I so love today.

I am loving UK BASKETBALL. Everything about. I so wish we were in Lex right now.

This totally gave me chills/ I may have teared up a little.

I am LOVING that next week is

My class needs a break as much as I need them to get outside recess again. That. is. a lot. I have a whole lot of plans with this, finally:

Oh that reminds me, I am LOVING that I am ENGAGED. We have even gone to some more open houses! I haven't done a whole lot of planning anything yet but I will keep you informed!

I am L.O.V.I.N.G that I will be finished with KTIP stuff this weekend! F you KTIP creator.

My first actual Wednesday post!!!!

Hi Loves! So I am loving that it's Wednesday and for the first time I can actually post! This is probably because of my very carefree attitude at the moment and the last few days. So I am on spring break and it really wasn't supposed to feel like a break because I am midterms after break (silly, really who does that?) Anyways I worked last weekend and I work this weekend, but I have had the last two days off and I was supposed to be studying (Hahahaha), but instead I have been piddling around. For example today I went to pilates then test road a bunch of bike for 2 hours. I have also been to the grocery store twice in 2 days just because I felt like I needed every vegetable in the store to make the perfect salad. I have just been sailing through life the past two days and although I have gotten some important things done, taxes and signing up for the MCAT, I have just been enjoying myself. And yes this is what a break is supposed to be for, but I really really need to be studying. Clearly I need more time to myself, but what else is new! Okay now to the facebook message that I am LOVING today! Wedding plans YAAAAAAAAAAY! Oh my gosh I am jumping out of my sneakers I am so excited! I just want to say another congratulations and I absolutely cannot wait for a bachelorette party so all of us can be together again! It's just not fair when all of you all get to hang out and I don't get to see you :( I really can't believe it's been almost a year since I was there and almost 2 years in August since I've seen Amanda it's CRAZY! I love you all and miss you terribly and hopefully next Wednesday I will feel as carefree as today and will post again!

WILW

Today I don't have a lot of time so I'll keep it short and sweet! Hope you all are having a happy hump day and getting time to enjoy the amazinggggg weather. For those of us in the KY, don't get comfortable...tomorrow is supposed to be in the 40s. Sick. But nonetheless, here is what I'm loving...

I am loving so so so so much that two of my favorite people are engaged...finally!!!!;) So happy for you guys!! I am also loving this old picture from our Nashville trip. I also love that this means, like it or not, before too long we will ALL be reunited (assuming Jane Ann likes us all enough to have us at her wedding haha!- please note this will be the first time since August of 2009 which is wayyy too long for me)!!! And I couldn't LOVE that anymore than I already do!

I am loving life. I feel like things are just really good in my life right now. From growing spiritually to things in my personal life, I have learned a lot about my self this year. I blogged back in the fall about thinking something *BIG* was about to happen. I obviously had no idea what it was at the time but now I feel like it was a lot of little things that happened that made a *BIG* impact!! Yes, school is still stressful and every day isn't rainbows and butterflies, but I feel like this is exactly where I'm supposed to be. And I couldn't be happier!!

Can we all see each other soon? I would really be LOVING that!
