Where has the year gone?

It seems as if this year has just begun and it is quickly coming to an end. It has been a while since I have blogged so I will catch you up to date! Although I didn't have a whole lot going on during the months of May and June, I seemed to stay extremely busy. I'm still continuing to interview, so I've been making many trips to Jackson and also to Birmingham. I also recently passed the state Life, Health, and Accident insurance exam. I am taking one finance class this month and it started this past Monday. Last weekend for the fourth, I met some friends and we all went to Philadelphia for the night. We had a blast!! We went to dinner and watched the fireworks there; it was so much fun and I will post pictures from that very soon! Last Sunday afternoon, I headed back to Starkville. Class isn't bad but I must say that there is not much going on in the city of Starkville this summer at all! I spent last June in Starkville living with three of my best friends and we had a blast; there was so much going on and there were tons of people in town! This summer, I have two friends and my roommate living in Starkville and it is a total ghost town. I don't know why no one is in town. Thursday I went to our pool and NO ONE was there...so feeling really akward being a loner at the pool I headed over to the apartment complex that I lived at last summer and layed out there for the rest of the day. There were a few people at that pool but it was not nearly as crowded as it normally is. Two of my friends met me there and we had a good time. We went to dinner Thursday night and I headed back to Meridian early Friday morning. Last night a few friends and I went to a fraternity rush party and I'm not doing a whole lot tonight. Probably about to start packing! Friday I am headed home to go to a rehearsal dinner and then leaving early Saturday morning to go to New York with my dad for men's apparel market!! I'm soo excited; I absolutely cannot wait! I went with him in January and we had a blast, so I know we will have a good time again! I have a few friends living up there now, so hopefully I will be able to see them while I am up there! That next week, my cousins are coming!! I cannot wait to see them either! My sister and I usually make a trip to see them every summer and this year I could not talk her into going..because of her boyfriend that is. But none the less, we could not be more excited about them coming! Matt and Riles will not be making the trip, and of course we are sad about that...but we absolutely cannot WAIT to see you in November!! It has been way too long!!

A little here, A little there..

It seems as if I have been on the road a good bit lately! I was in Jackson last Friday, went to Starkville last Sunday, headed to Philadelphia Wednesday night for a 50th Surprise Anniversary Party, went back to Jackson on Thursday, headed to Starkville on Friday to pay all of the bills, and finally arrived back in Meridian on Saturday! Crazy week I must say! I had a lingerie shower last night for a friend that I went to high school with, and then a bunch of my high school friends met up and went out for the night! We had so much fun catching up; I haven't seen many of them since we graduated! Tonight my parents and I went fishing..I caught two large mouth bass and my mom caught one! I was SOO excited! The lake we fish in is right by my house and since we've lived here (14 yrs.) I've NEVER caught anything besides little brim in that lake! Last year they set turtle traps up and caught over 250 turtles in two weeks! No wonder there were no fish..well that all changed tonight thank goodness!! I'll have to post the pics very soon :) Now for my schedule this week..no plans :) Just rented He's Just Not that Into You and picked up a pizza!! Ahh..I'm afraid I'm going to miss this one day!

Two Posts in One Day..

Well, technically this will be my first and only post of the day. I wrote the previous post last night and didn't have time to publish it! And that leads me to the main reason I haven't blogged in soo long..I've lost TONS of keys on my keyboard! I know that sounds crazy! A man came to fix my computer a while back and I had lost a few keys on my laptop but they all still worked; I ordered a new set of keys and he "installed" them. So, I got my computer back and next thing I know the whole right side won't work at all!! I took it back to him and he thought he had fixed the problem..well now I'm missing a "g" and an "h" key. Neither one of the keys works at all so I have to copy and paste a letter everytime I'm missing one, and let me tell you that you don't realize JUST how much you use your "g" or your "h" until you lose one! Blogger won't let you copy or paste and it takes entirely too long. So, now that I'm in Meridian for a while, I'll keep you all updated through my parents computer!!

Sophie update:
The sedative wore off this morning...ahh!! I was woken up this morning to lots of barking so I thought she must be in pain. I went in to play with her and she is jumping up and down (stitches and all) running around like a banche indian wanting to play ball and ALL! Someone please help haha! I don't know how I'm going to contain this little munchkin any longer!

Wow..It has been quite some time..

I have lots to catch up on and not much time to do it! Where to begin..I have been on the road a lot lately and entirely too busy!! I went to Ponte Vedra, FL for spring break, have been back and fourth a lot to job interviews, got entirely too busy trying to finish classes, and I graduated from Mississippi State about three weeks ago! Graduation was so much fun and I can't wait to update pics! About two weeks ago my family and I went to the beach for family vacation, we took Sophie to be boarded and she hasn't been sweet since we've gotten home :) She learned how to bark...really loud; I think that the dogs there participated in many barking contest. When we drove up to go get her, she was the loudest over all of them. She bites ALL the time now; I thought she was just teething but little did I know..she wasn't! She un-potty trained herself haha..if that is even a word! Needless to say, she got fixed this morning and will hopefully be sedated over the next few days! The vet told me that she might get wild on this pain medication just not to let her jump over towers or tall buildings..great! Hope all is well!

One Amazing Weekend..

This weekend was absolutely amazing! One of my friends, Jessica, is good friends with the band of Lady Antebellum and they were playing in Jackson on Friday night so she, Erin, and I all went to the concert. It was amazing!! We got to spend a little time with two of the band members before and after the concert! The lead singers were headed to the Grammy's so they didn't stay too long afterwards because they had to head back to Nashville so soon. Yesterday, our same little crew loaded up again and headed to Huntsville, AL (where Erin is from) to go see Ingram Hill in concert..great concert too! Before the concert, we had dinner with the two band members from Lady Antebellum and then all went to Ingram Hill together! Wow..definitely a once in a lifetime experience but it was amazing!! The guys were extremely nice and very down to earth..you would never know who they were if you saw them walking around town!! We all came back to Starkville today and were just completely exhausted! Watched the Grammy's tonight and sure enough Lady Antebellum was on there! Amazing!! I've got a busy week! I've got a meeting with Guy Harvey on Tuesday, Business Policy test on Wednesday, an insurance meeting in Jackson on Thursday, and I'm supposed to go to a date party on Friday but I don't think I'm going to make it to that one! I'm headed to Birmingham next week and couldn't be more excited about it!!

New York, New York..

I just got back from NYC on Tuesday. My dad and I went for Men's Apparel Market. We left at 5:30 a.m. on Saturday morning and returned late Tuesday night; we had a blast and I'm hoping I get to go again in July! I just didn't realize what I was missing! We worked from early morning to late at night but it was soo much fun! It snowed everyday we were there and it was absolutely beautiful!! My camera broke so I had to get a disposable for the trip..too bad I didn't take that many pictures so it might be a little while getting them back :( On another note, it was a very successful trip! I learned a lot and met soo many fun people; they were all great! I'll have to post pics soon! A big thank you to my mom for keeping Sophie while I was gone..she fell head over heels in love! She told my dad that if our dauschand ever passed away she would definately get a Pomeranian b/c she thought that they were soo smart! Yay!! Maybe I'll have a babysitter next time I need to go somewhere! I will say though, Sophie is a very good puppy and she is very smart. She might bite on occassions just teething and she does get a bit hyper at times but she's been great! She really hasn't been as wild as a normal puppy would be..and she's growing everyday! I almost wish she would stay the size she is..but hey, she isn't even up to 1 lb. haha! Tonight, one of my friends and I watched Grey's Anatomy together, and as I've recently posted she got engaged! She asked me to be one of her bridesmaids and I am just thrilled about it! Congratulations Jessica and Robby! I can't wait for August!! Hope all is well with everyone!
