Five + a Half

Have you ever met someone and thought they were too good to be true?  Have you ever felt like saying "what is wrong with you" when you meet a person who seemed close to perfect?  This is what I thought when I met Steven over 5 years ago.  He is one of the most genuine and kindhearted people I have ever met. He's one of those people that are too good to be true, but he's not because he is real.

Here's a quick trip down memory lane...

We've been together through it all.  From straight bangs to circular glasses, to prom, college dances and weddings, to deaths in the family, to mini vacations, to moving, to graduating, to new beginnings and everything in between; he has been my rock. He has never left my side through any thing and has shown me that people can be trusted and people do keep their word.  He has taught me how to love unconditionally and has always worked to keep our relationship strong. I have been so blessed to have him in my life.  I'm not sure what I have done to even deserve the privilege of knowing him, let alone being loved by him. But as you can imagine...I'm a lucky girl.

  I wanted to take a moment out to thank him for the happiest five and a half years of my life. <3

Halloween Party

Wow, Halloween weekend and day flew by and now we are in November. I'm trying to grasp it, but it is like slime...it won't stay put.  It freaks me out that this time NEXT year I'll be about a month away from having my master's degree and I'll be searching for a 'real' job. Wow, side-tracked: ANYWAY... back to Halloween weekend. I'm so excited to show you all what I was!  I originally planned on Ariel, but I put a costume together and just did not feel good about it. So, when I was reading one of my favorite blogs, brideblue, I saw that she put up some costume inspirations...and the rest is history. I knew as soon as I read her post I wanted to be Sandy from Grease. Yes, my hair color is different, but accessories are everything, people ;)

 Sandy from Grease...can you see it? I also had red heals on, but you can't see them in this picture...ALSO there is a fake cigarette in my one hand. Ha ha

 Addie dressed as a devil and her pup was dressed as an angel, so cute.

Some of the ladies <3 Kait, all the way to the right, throws the best parties. Love her. 

Danny and Sandy <3 

As I left the party, I threw my cigarette on the ground and recited "Tell me about it, stud" as I put the cigarette out with my red heal. Appropriate? I think  yes.

Fridays are for Friends

Last Friday I was planning on working from about 7am until 11pm, so I was kind of bummed.  After my first job I went to babysitting at 6pm and was mentally prepared to be there until I had to pinch myself occassionally to stay awake, so you can imagine my surprise when the parents go back at 8:15.
After composing myself I embraced that I was thrilled because I knew I'd be able to have a girls night, oooh oooh (said like they do in Baby Mama).

So, I scrambled through my closet and threw things on and off (if you look closely at the reflection in the mirror you MAY see some clothing all around...maybe) and got ready in a jiffy.

Then I met these beauties, Amanda and Jess

We laughed, caught up and acted silly <3

The bar by my apartment is incredible.

 I love the bartenders, the bouncer, and the regular customers.

 I'm famous when I walk in. Ok, ok, almost famous.

False, I'm just recognized when I walk in. Whatever...can't a girl dream a little ;)

Sometimes the best remedy is a girls night out, which is why this was just what the doctor ordered! 

Hope everyone is enjoying their week so far and the start to November, geez louise...

**I'm having technical difficulties, which is why these pictures are munchkin sized and which is why I have not posted my HALLOWEEN pictures yet. Tomorrow: I promise :)
