crash

If I fall and crash and burn
At least I know you’re by my side
As I crawl, the lessons learned
Remind me I'll survive
I've been hurt and I've been scarred
At least I know that I'm alive

hello summer :)

It is hot. The temperature thing at the bank said 87 degrees today! I love it!

The weekend was beautiful; perfect weather for baseball games and cookouts...which is exactly what we did. We also went to a couple more open houses and absolutely fell in love with a condo in Meriden, but it probably will be gone by time we are ready to put in an offer.

I have a lot to do for school in the next several days, and I'm going to have to take a day off of work next week just so I can get it all done. 4 days left of classes over the next two weeks...this semester flew by. Which is awesome, because it means I only have one left until graduation, which is absolutely crazy!

I love this little guy : )

you got whatever it is that blows me away

 

 

I love love.

 

And that guy up there, too. ; )

And in other news, I finally got an appointment with a plastic surgeon to take care of this ugly mess:

My little man is growing up so fast!

irrefutable, indisputable fact is...it happens

This weekend went by too quickly. What else is new?

I got the cutest shirt at New York and Company on Saturday. I only bought one, even though they were on sale and I couldn't pick a favorite color. Why?

John was with me. a.) He hates clothes shopping with me, so I didn't want to make him sit through a half hour of me trying all the different colors. b.) I think rationally regarding money when I'm with him, so I knew I didn't need two of them.

I wore it to work today. Guess what? I need another one. It's so flattering, it makes me feel skinny, and it's SO comfortable.

I do this all the time. I buy multiple pairs of jeans without trying them on, and end up returning half. When I find something that I really LOVE, I only get one. And then when I go back to buy a second or third, they're sold out. Yes, I checked online and they are sold out.

As is the new trend on Facebook, I guess I should end this post with three letters:

FML.

wanna wake up every morning to your sweet face, always

There are days when I long for the week I move out of here. It is getting closer - November will be here before I know it (because we all know summer goes by faster than any other season). Obviously, I want freedom and independence and to support myself, and I want to share my life with John. Those are the most important and influential factors in why we are buying a condo, but I also just crave my own space. I come home from work and have nowhere to go. My sister holes herself up in our room all night, my mom takes over the family room, which leaves me stuck at my desk. (I probably should be stuck at my desk, considering the mammoth amount of homework I have to get done by May 8th). I want my own kitchen where I can cook us dinner everynight, and my own washer and dryer so I can wash clothes the way I like them washed. I want our own bedroom that is not cluttered with our stuff that has nowhere else to be put away. There are too many things that have to be done before all of that can happen, things that are entirely too stressful for my own good. Being pre-qualified is fabulous, but it doesn't erase the fact that we have to find a condo we want to buy and that we can afford when we want to have this all happen. Nor does it erase the fact that this will all be happening in the weeks before I graduate, aka right around the time of finals. But, it does include fun things like shopping for furniture (albeit at Walmart or Target, but still!) and paint and curtains and other things that will make it our home.

I found all of my old Lifehouse B-Sides on my computer today, which has been an excellent distraction from the 5-page trascript I have due on Thursday. Which clearly means spring break is over, and the sucky part of the semester begins (aka the three 12-page papers I have due in a month).

John and I watched the two younger nephews on Saturday. I couldn't help taking pictures, they are so adorable.
