love my life.

i have the sweeeetest boyfriend ever. EVER.
so, i'm laying in bed in the complete darkness from the worst headache
for like... hours. i end up falling asleep and i wake up with him waking
me up giving me the hills season 4, excedrin, and some sugar cookies!

awwhhhh.
i'm about to yank my hair out i miss my friends so much! <3

i'm baaack.

stayed in cookeville last night at my parents. mike taught me how to make an omelette- don't laugh. out of all the things i can cook, i had no clue how to do that. we're going back this weekend and staying at the lake. mom and me looked up some good jello shot recipes hahaha, i can't believe she's making them.

so ashleigh, cancun is getting closer and closer! can you believe it?! summah is going to be a blaaaast! jessica & lacie, i can't wait to see yo' face in a matter of days. feels like so much begins to go on when the month of may pops up. i love it. i miss the beach.

last night.

today was good. woke up, layed out by the pool for 3 hours. went out for lunch, saw a movie, went to the outlet mall, came back.. walked around downtown, ended up at noisy oyster. that place was pretty cool then we went to the pier now we're back at the hotel. i'm beat. i feel like i've been gone for so damn long. ten days. i'm going to miss the 85-90 degree weather and beautiful sunshine but... i guess i'll deal. the pools at my apartment should be opening up soon! woohoo. i have so much to talk about but ya know what? i believe i'll make it simple and short by saying, this entire trip has been awesome. (and to all of my besties, i'll fill you in with much finer detail). so so so much fun. i have millions of pictures to upload. anyways: my parents finally got around to buying the boat. thank goodness! i can't wait to stay on it this summer and partaaay. i really miss bella, it has felt so weird not seeing that spastic little furball prancing around and sleeping with me at night. all of my friends looked beautiful at prom! after seeing those pictures really made me realize, i almost wish i wouldn't have went home schooled. i've been to prom before but i missed out on my own prom with the friends i've known all my life. i'm not going to let it bother me though because whats the point? it's over. life goes on, as we say.

i betta get off here though, just thought i'd catch up. i'm going to fall asleep tonight wondering what my graduation gift will be, i get it tomorrow. yayayay.

stopping by.

tonight is our last night in savannah. we just got back from a haunted tour in a trolley, we visited the sorrel weed house and this cemetary. pretty sweet. we've done far more exciting things but this post is short and all i wanted to say for now was...

ashleigh, glad you two worked it out. i knew it would happen :)
friendship is really one of the most valuable things in life.

welllll, we're waking up bright and early and going to charleston.
be home in 5 days. see yaaaa, wouldn't wanna be yaaaa.

put your heart where your mouth is.

today: went fishing, it was really the funniest thing ever. chase tried teaching me with this old timey rod and i thought i was doing fairly well until my bait got stuck in a rock. needless to say, i'm really not that bad but i like the other poles better and don't ask me what they are called. puhlease. i went to the tanning bed today and ended up leaving with a spray tan and it doesn't look fake to my surprise. thennn later i turned in my forever 21 application.

so we're leaving tomorrow instead. going to see my dad in georgia for a couple days then it's off to savannah and the hotel smack dab in the middle of downtown by river street, staying there 3 nights. after that, we're going to charleston, staying in another hotel right in downtown for 4 nights.

i can't wait. i wish we could leave right now.

make it hot hot hot.

i bought wayyy too much today. it was rather overwhelming.

2 pairs of wedges.
2 pairs of sandals.
1 pair of flip flops.
3 belts.
2 bathing suits.
a fedora hat.
pair of earrings.
2 tanktops.
2 pairs of sunglasses.
5 dresses.
a ring.
a purse, which i paid too much for.

last but not least, a blender. finally got one.

whew. we hit up TGIF's on the way out! it was pretty good.
now i'm home and relaxing :)

and p.s. hill, i read your email. i'm not mad at you.

catching up.

-belmont, university. where i wanna be.
-i love how all my friends are getting a blog.
-i love the champagne chase brought home tonight.
-i adore listening to kings of leon when i'm in a good mood.
-all of my old friends have came back into my life, i'm loving it.
-leaving for road trip sunday, sooooo siked.
-shopping my ass off tomorrow.
-looking forward to chase taking me fishing hahahaha. i better not touch any worms.

everything is already getting better.

i want some sort of change in my life. it needs m o r e excitement.

so i'm all about finding good quotes and came across a few good ones. thought i'd share.

“ You know that feeling? That feeling when you just want the right thing to fall into the right place, not only because it’s right, but because it will mean that such a thing is still possible? I want to believe that. ”
— Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist

“ If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise. ”
— Robert Fritz

“ Be not the slave of your own past - plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so you shall come back with new self-respect, with new power, and with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old. ”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

“ Anything that feels that good couldn’t possibly be bad. There’s something about death that is comforting, the thought that you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate your life now. ”
— Angelina Jolie

there is more to life than simply increasing its speed.

-i wish we would stop arguing. my head is about to explode.
-i don't get why you tell her you want to hangout when you talk a lot of shit about how i shouldn't, when i've been friends with her for years. don't be two faced.
-i had the weirdest dream about you last night, i wish we still talked as much. you were alot of fun.

anyway,
being at the hospital all day made me realize how easy it is to die and how much harder it is to live. i should stop taking time for granted and spend more time making myself happy!

flower shower.

what a great weekend.

here's to you, i feel this too.

i'm beyond happy with my life. it's all falling into place like i've been wanting it to.

i'm ready for the road trip in a couple weeks.
i need sleep. i'm ready to see what will be in my easter basket(s).

i'll post pictures later.
(i decorated hello kitty eggs, they're adorable.)

happy easter.

butterflies.

i'm so glad it's the weekend and that i get to actually spend more time with chase, he works way too much! thank goodness the internship is almost over with. we laughed at the idiots trying to meet up with him tonight hahahaha. true friends? RIGHT.

i put together his easter basket tonight. gotta admit, it's pretty damn precious.

and for my blogging biatches: jaaade, thanks for catching up gurl. your boytoy better choose you next year over HER, if not don't sweat it! he'll be missing out a foxy lady, unlike HER. i miss you too by the way! this summer, we will be hanging out. guaranteed. as goes for hillary, i'm pretty sure your name is mentioned in every entry but since you wrote such lovely things about me, you oughtta know that you are sooo sweet and the bestest friend ever.

now, for ALL viewers- (don't laugh) i need help figuring out how to sell stuff on ebay! the whole shipping cost thing is really complicated to me.

p.s. hiding in the closet for two hours today by myself was the worst fun i've had in years. as frightened as i was, i enjoyed hearing the rednecks in the apartment above me blaring techno music as loud as possible. yes, rednecks.

you make it hard to breathe.

the past couple days have been really rad. i've spent way too much money though and spending more tomorrow! ahhh, i'm splurging during the worst times. (cough, recession, cough). i spent 200 dollas sending packages and such in the mail. WTF is wrong with me? i'm way too nice, obviously :) easter is one of my favorite holidays though. searching for an easter dress[+more] tomorrow.

hillary, we need to figure out the trip to alabama and the beach houses or whatever. we are not putting away this plan.

all i can say is... the next few weeks, months... are going to be ki-ki-kickass.
gooooodbye snow, HELLO SUNSHINE.

closing time.

going back home tomorrow, thankfully. i can only take so much of this place anymore. however! i did get to spend some time with ashleigh, hillary, jess, and lacie. now i'm kicking back watching the acm awards waiting on hill's butt to get over here.

my parents are buying a boat and it's beautiful. it sleeps like four people, there's a little kitchen area and a shower and plenty of room to layout on. it's so friggen' cute! i can't wait til the weather gets warm and STAYS warm.

chase... i kind of miss you :)

ayo.

i'm in cookeville.

tonight was fun, spent it with the crazy parents at spanky's.
i think we ran into everybody.

i should start my job soon. yay, i'm ready for the paychecks.

i'm back.

i've been in georgia since thursday and am finally home. i didn't want to leave though. my granny bea passed away this past friday night, i was sitting right next to her when she took her last breath. so much family came in... from alaska, florida, alabama, everywhere. we had get togethers every night at my dad's house. everyone played guitar and sang and had a good time, i miss not being able to be around my crazy family on my daddy's side. the funeral service was really nice and she was buried in a beautiful place too.

other than that, i've just been hanging out since i got home. i've been decorating the apartment alot lately. it's looking goooood! i'll be in cookeville friday until monday, so i'll be gone again.
in two to three weeks, i'll be going back to georgia and we're going to savannah then charleston. yay!

i have alot of pictures i need to print, easter cards and presents that need to be sent, and a miniature scrapbook i need to start on.
