It's Vegas Day, and I couldn't be more excited!!!!! Well, actually, I was really excited all week and then the day finally gets here and I'm just thinking of all that needs to be done before I leave, but somewhere underneath all that is extreme excitement!!!! Dad and I usually have coffee every Friday morning like we have since I was in high school, but he's off fixing up the lakehouse (thanks, Pops!) but I adhered to our tradition anyway and stopped by the Bucks of Star for my Venti iced coffee anyway. How that drink sooooooothes me with a jolt of caffeine! Matt wrote me a sweet Facebook message in the wee hours of the morning (the time he functions best) proclaiming his exuberance for this weekend as well and adding: "I love you. I love you. I. LOVE. YOU" I think he loves me... You may think, "A Facebook message? That's strange." But actually, our history stems from hundreds and hundreds of Facebook messages sent back and forth over the Etherne

So, I realized I was quite unhappy at the beginning of the week and pinpointed it to being unproductive. I never thought my 52" would get the better of me, but it had! If I had the discipline to do it, I'd cancel my cable, but I love my Biggest Loser and Grey's too much. By the way, Grey's season finale tonight!!!!! So, in lieu of cancelling my cable, I've decided to cross off one To Do item on my mental checklist every evening when I get home. I don't have a stressful job, I sit on my toosh the majority of the time, and I don't have kids yet, so when I do get home I'm still pretty energetic. For instance, Monday I cleared off my overly decorated dresser and simplified it...sooooo much nicer! And I dusted the house which had been neglected last weekend. Oh, and I attended Matt's first ever softball game. He was so excited and did so well considering he hasn't done anything minutely athletic in about 10 years ( love ya, babe! ) Last night, I bak

I've never been without people around me. I have 3 brothers who have 3 wives and 6 kids split between them all and one on the way. We all live within 8 miles of each other. I work with them. I go to church with them. I babysit them...not much, I admit. Needless to say, I always have family around me and I cherish that, but I haven't always had good girlfriends around me. I always had girlfriends throughout elementary, junior high and high school. Then, in college, those girlfriends moved off and my friends turned into a slew of guys that I hung out with regularly. I was convinced they enjoyed my companionship for nothing else than good times and platonic connection. That was proven incredibly wrong when I got a boyfriend. I was hurt over that transition. I missed my high school g/fs. I missed my guy friends who were awkward and distant now. I loved the sweet time with my boyfriend and that he was finally in the same city as me, but I missed the connection that reaches deep down

When I started this blogging stuff, I was so excited to express my thoughts with the blogging world. I soon realized that my own thoughts were quite numerous and overwhelming to me and would; therefore, be quite overwhelming for the blogging world. So, my new blogging goal, while I learn how to navigate this business, is to be concise . I was recently inspired by Stephanie Nielson's blog, the Nie Nie Dialogues She posts everyday, but it's nothing overpowering or wordy or lengthy. Just a few lines, Relaying her day, Her thoughts. "I can do that." I thought. So..........here goes............. MATT PASSED THE BAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I believe his exact words were, "This is a slingshot in the right direction of our future together." The next words I heard was, "
