Well I told myself I definitely needed to do a blog today to commemorate this grand day in alex and my life. Here is the story: Alex's family is auctioning off BOTH of their houses in Pocomoke and moving out of town. So all day long everybody was busy hauling stuff out of the house, cleaning the house, deciding what to sell, what to save, it was just complete mayhem. In the midst of all this crazyness Alex pulled me in the backyard (which is one of his favorite places and it means alot to him) and he got on one knee and asked me to marry him, and of course I said yes. Then he told me that he was really going to miss the house and he wanted his last memories of the back yard to be happy ones...and there we were.

So tonight he went to work and I went to walmart and bought wedding magazines and a ring cozy so I can wear the ring until it gets sized for my finger!

And now is just the beginning, guest lists, venues, cakes, dresses, cater's, photographers, dj's/bands, invitations. wow. glad my bridal party is HUGE haha.

Anyhow have a great weekend everyone!

oink oink

ok im having a breakdown. i think i have let the fat win. i am 5'4" and 135 pounds!!!! this is the most i've ever weighed in my whole life. 3 years ago when i first started dating alex i was 5'4" and 110 pounds. yea do the math. I have given away all my skinny clothes and not been excercising at ALL. I tried on my bathing suit tonight and all i have to say is i won't be going to any public beaches this summer.

So what can I do? Here is my plan: I am not eating past 7pm (because I go to bed around 10). No more huge meal for lunch and dinner. And I might actually get on that bike every now and again. That doesn't sound like much but if I make some huge plan I will never stick to it! haha. Oh and Jess and I were talking and I may need to give up rum :[ Tequila and Vodka it is...haha

Im in the prime of my life and I am not letting this addiction get to me!!!! Plus it makes me sad to give away all my cute clothes.

OH I forgot to mention the kicker. Alex has been doing roofing everyday the past month and he has these huge muscles out of no where. and his stomach is flatter. i hate men.

summer checklist

OMG I do not have time for this blog haha. I keep counting on blogging more this summer. Speaking of summer I am going to make a checklist of things I need/want to do this summer:

-go to the dentist
-go to the doctor ( I put these things off all year)
-complete 200 hours of my internship
-finish essay for internship
-go to Ben and Carrie, Gabi and Chads, and Matt and Missys wedding.
-Visit Jess a few times
-Visit Richmond
-maybe visit Alex's family in Wyoming if they stay for the summer

baby names

bahaha i can already see peoples eyes bugging out over this title. Ok I am a girl and I am pretty sure EVERY girl picks out baby names from the time they are 5. Anybody that knows me knows that I really can't deal with kids. Even my own niece and nephew I don't know how to talk to or how to play with. I am kid challenged. One cool part about having kids is NAMING the kid. So here are my kid names that I am officially claiming. One time when I was a kid I told my friend I was going to get a guinea pig and name it petunia and damn if that bitch didn't get a guinea pig and name it petunia the next week. So thats why I am laying claim:

Girls:

Jazmine or Jasmine (this is an absolute definite.)

Jillian (although alex is strongly against this)

Stella

Eloise (another one i really really really like)


Boys:

Oliver (poor kid)

Oscar :] bahaha

Sebastian (gay?? idk i like it haha)

Honestly I really like Alexander but how many of us Alexanders does there really need to be? haha

knockout or knockoff?

The fashion industry loses 9.2 million dollars due to knockoffs.

That BLOWS my mind. That costs alot of jobs annually I am sure. When people buy knockoffs it not only affects the designer who is crazy rich but it affects his or her employees more than anything. When the brand takes a hit then the company reduces costs wherever they see fit.

moral of the story? Don't be fake. If you can't afford to wear Chanel then DON"T!!

busy little bee

WOW I don't even know where to start. I am so incredibly busy I have no time to blog. I am lucky if my animals are even getting fed on a day to day basis!! I promise that in May when school is over I will pick up on this blogging where I left off. I am in the middle of writing 3 papers, doing 2 projects, and 2 powerpoints. They are very time consuming! Anyhow summer cannot come soon enough. How I long for the day when I can get up and say AHHH I don't have squat to do for the next 4 days!!!!! Ok guys I am off to finish my first paper and I will see all you lovely bloggers (Jessica and Wilson) in May :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEST FRIIIEND

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESS!

Today is my best buddies birthday so we are celebrating by going to our bar. haha Seacrets. As Jamie from Baltimore would say, "welcome to my bar". This is a very special birthday because this is the first one that shes got to spend with me since before college. Ok so its special to me, idk if she gives a flying crap haha.

On another note remember those "Barbie Basics" dolls that I blogged about back in February? WELL I just found out today that they were designed by a team of fashion designers one of them being BETSEY JOHNSON. So, needless to say I am getting the one she designed. :D

Tomorrow I am having a party at my house at 7 for Jess' birthday! Be there or be square :D
