Scarf Swap

I took part in a scarf swap hosted by Krysten from Why Girls are Weird.  I was so excited to take part in this because I love making new friends, I love getting packages, and I love scarfs! The person I was paired with is also named Angela AND has a significant other named Steven...small world, huh?

The rules of this swap were to send a scarf and package worth between $25 and $30 dollars to the person you were paired with. A few days ago I received this package from Ang and could barely contain my excitement....

 She sent me TWO scarfs, a GREAT smelling candle, and coffee, which I can NOT wait to taste.  She gave me a little bit of everything I love!

Ang, I cannot tell you how many compliments I have gotten on this scarf already! 

This post is a little late going up (I'm sorry Krysten!), but I cannot wait until the next swap happens!

. *Fingers crossed it will happen soon* So happy I got to take part in this! It was so fun and it was a great experience! 

Halloween Night

On Halloween I decided to have a few people from Fossil over to celebrate.  My two night classes were canceled, so I was feeling free as could be.  I made buffalo chicken dip, the hugs and pretzel things I blogged about here and homemade mini monkey breads (I'll post recipes next week!). It was a fun and relaxing right where we drank, talked, laughed, and played with Siri, yes the new voice thing on the Iphone. She is ridiculous...

So, my mini get together:

1. My friend Carolyn literally dressed up as my cat. She is such a bitch, hahaha. She came in wearing orange and white and with an eye patch (Maxwell only has one eye).  2. Carolyn is playing with the straw trying to impersonate Maxwell 3. Chris was a guido, I was Sandy, and Carmella was a witch.

Here's a better picture of my costume because you can see my shoes. 

This was the first year I would be at my place for Halloween, so I eagerly purchased a bag of kit kats to give out to the kiddies. At 6:30pm there was a knock at my door, so I assumed one of my friends arrived early. I walked to the door with my electric toothbrush going and heard "trick or treat". Really? I was embarrassed, yes two children embarrassed me, and was taken off guard. I walked over to the dish of candy I had, with tooth brush still running, and brought the kids over the candy.  FAIL. Good job, Angela.  I then assured myself I would do better with the next set of children.  Well, there was no next time. They were the ONLY kids that came :( Maybe next year I'll do better  -____-

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
