A picnic

Today my love surprised with a picnic. He made us some pasta salad and sandwiches and we went to the park, but even though it was nice outside is was still cold.. So we had a car picnic and listened to the radio. And I loved every minute of it. Then we got coffee and a weird place that had weird cups. I love my days with him.

Today

I have been running on zero..

Cleo woke up at 4 a.m. randomly and decided to be a spaz. A full on spaz!

Needless to say, I had four cups of coffee this morning and feel like it's about time to pass out

and HOPE she sleeps in till at least seven.

( we have to use dishes for dog bowls until I replace the ones she chewed up )

About me

I use to wear high heels everyday in high school. Now I can't stand in them for more than a half hour.

Growing up I use to find strays and hide them in the garage. and then beg my sister to ask if I could keep them.

I have a brother that I have never met, but I'm hoping someday our worlds will meet.

I get THE worst separation anxiety from Nick. I spend the entire day after we see each other lying in bed.

I am so happy Nick isn't a sports fan. I'd much rather sit back and play video games with him.

I have a slight obsession with the Harry Potter books/movies. I've read them each at least three times.

I have all my future baby names planned out, but since an old friend stole one ( middle name and all ) I'm keeping them a secret.

I have a horrible fear that I will let people down, which causes me to miss out on things. I'm trying to change that.

I love change. Be it hair color/style, re doing a room or just changing my nail polish. It's another obsession of mine.

My nick name in high school was designated driver. Hah

My dream is to finish school, marry Nick and move somewhere with a beach to raise our kids.

I spend waaaay too much time watching T.V. online and I always miss shows during the week.

 Everyone in my family that have been married have gotten a divorce, so I'm determined to change that.

Love day

Today hasn't been my typical Valentine's day.. Being apart from Nick and having him work odd hours made it difficult and we unfortunately couldn't see each other today. But he did sent some beautiful flowers. I spent the morning making chocolate covered strawberries, painting my nails red and playing with my baby. And trying to get everything ready for my two night getaway with Nick. We're staying downtown together, trying to get some special time in for our anniversary. Needless to say, this week is looking quite lovely and of course filled with so much love. Hope you all are having a great love day! :)

Our Anniversary!!

Six years ago today I was driving to school after lunch and was asked if I wanted to be he's girlfriend (I said yes obviously). Since then we've been through a lot and have matured together. He's my high school sweetheart, and quite frankly I can't picture spending my life any other way. We've gotten so much closer since having to live apart and have really learned how to be the best couple we can be. I love my other half and I can't wait till we get married and have many more years together. Happy anniversary Nick!

Just spilling my guts out for a moment..

First off, let me say that I love my family, but the past several months have been hard. Moving back home is so discouraging and quite frankly difficult, and on top of all that I once again get to share a room with my sister. It's such an awkward thing. What's been really bugging me is the fact that we just don't talk. Ever. Not even a "Good morning". It's been really getting to me lately especially with my mom having a whole week off, all they do is hang out together.. and I either stay in my room or try and go see some friends. Even when I make an effort they always push me away, and when I bring up how I'm feeling my mom just laughs it off and my sister doesn't say a thing. I'm ready to give up on family. I'm so ready to move out and start one with the man that keeps me sane, but I can't. I have to buckle down and finish school. I have to sit in this room one more year and pray nothing bad goes down. I know tons of people are going through things far worse than I am, but I can't help but feel alone lately. and I guess since this is my one little piece of the internet where I can speak my mind, I will let my guts spill... and hope things get better.

Anniversary cupcakes

Every year for mine and Nick's anniversary I bake him cupcakes ( they're basically the only dessert I can make that taste like something worth eating ). This past week I've been thinking about actually trying to decorate them a little more fancier than slapping some icing on and calling it good. I know he loves them no matter what, but I would love to be a little more proud of my accomplishment. I've been browsing the internet for some cute but somewhat easy ideas and thought I would share.

 

(These ones I particularly like. Especially since they sort of look like pies to me) 

Today

I was going to try and watch the superbowl, but neither teams I like, and baking cupcakes and drinking Starbucks seemed way more pleasing. No worries, I plan on tuning in to see the half time show. Hopefully it will be better than last year's. 

Some Valentine's goodness

Pretty sure I will be making a trip to the store sometime today so

I can get to making some goodies like these.
