Let Me Tell You About My Best Friend

On June 2, 2012 I began the longest journey my emotions had ever been on. My bestie Jenna flew out to Spain for study abroad. She was gonna be gone until June30/July1. Time is so messed up travelling across the world. It has been a crazy month but I survived, as did her poor boyfriend... haha. I'm ready for her to be home and its single digit days. Actually down to tomorrow. YAY! Seeing as she's one of the few friends I have that I see more than a couple times every few months I'm ready to have her back. We've been best friends for five years this past Spring. We're complete opposites but I guess that's how we stay so close, we kind of balance each other out. She's my rock and gives some of the best advice ever. I honestly have no idea what my life would be like without her. She can be a selfish diva at one minute and change at the drop of a hat if she's needed. She taught me style confidence and to love myself and embrace my beauty. I love this girl. From soccer to shopping we seriously do everything together.

Living in The Face of Reality

"She's the only dream I've had that didn't die in the face of reality" - Gone With The Wind

For real this time, I'm going to keep this up.

I read my last post and it brought me to tears. I have been trying so hard to keep that up and those goals and I needed to be reminded of that today. 

Today is Wednesday June 27, 2012. And my life has been through many things since October 13, 2011. 

Let's just say this year has started off and continued to go much better than the last. Let me catch you up. :)

January: New year, New beginning. I did lose an amazing friend, her name is Jolee Tarrant and she was one of the lovely ladies I lived with my last semester in Florida. She and my other roommate Hayley Mann were in Hayley's car and were going for tea and they were hit on the passengers side by a tow truck. Jolee died instantly and Hayley was unconscious and was hospitalized. I had to fly down to Tampa for a memorial service for her before they flew her back to California, where she was from. I met her whole family, mom and dad (for the second time) her older brother and her younger twin sisters. After this happened I wasn't sure how this year could go well after something so devastating had began it. But Jolee liked a challenge and liked when obstacles were thrown her way so she could rant rave whine and complain, but overall she could get through them. And that's the mindset I took. Look for the good in this situation. Heaven has a lovely new face up there and I got reunited with my old roommates and friends. This girl can bring people together without being here. I love her and miss her so much. 

February: My life in one word. School. Work. That is all I did. Oh and counting the days until Spring Break. Oh and I was approved to coach high school boys soccer, my brother's senior year and make $500. I'll take it. :)

March: SPRING BREAK!! I flew to Tampa to see all my friends again. I was glad to see Hayley doing well and happy, for the most part. I didn't even go to the beach when I was there. I stayed with my friend Taylor and we had a blast with two other girls who camp down for Spring Break too. Oh and i got tattoo number two!! Its white and says "M'aimer pour qui je suis" which is "Love me for who I am" in French. You may ask why and its because anyone who knows me knows how I'm not a regular girl. I'm different. You have to accept that. And in French because Hayley, was fluent in French, and Jolee, was learning French, and our dorm was just full of it, French movies, French tv shows, French words, Hayley would be helping Jolee and sit and talk with her for ever it was so pretty and we even had a French bible in our dorm. I love the way it sounds. (Hayley used to translate what Raymond the Firefly said in the Princess and the Frog for me) :) I got a new car too!! A Volkswagen Jetta. His name is Colin. :)

April: I caved in and went to my cousin's 21st bonfire, there I saved a guy, Landyn, from an unwanted girl. We became friends and starting hanging out. We began dating the 23rd. :) 

May: My baby brother graduated. Oh my geeze. That was rough. I feel old. Wahhh. 
(and Mychal fell in love.) That means there is hope for everyone out there. Just Sayin'.

June: Jenna the bestie, flew away to Spain to study abroad for an ENTIRE MONTH! Well she comes back this Saturday. Thank the Lord. I've missed her. But I've been able to talk and text her so we've been keeping up. But I'm so ready to be home. And I've been working at HoneyBaked Ham for 8 months now. I got a great opportunity from a lady at church, so i gave her a resume and finger crossed and praying hard I get it. I'd love to be out of the food industry. Oh and in 33 days I turn 21. Now my mom feels old. hah. :)

Now that you're all caught up I'll be posting a few pictures and I'll keep this thing up to date. 

Love Y'all
