Growing Up

So I have not updated this since August, so I have a lot to talk about. Football season is in full swing which makes me super happy!! We just came off an awful loss to Tennessee which sucks a whole ton. School is going well. I have secured an internship at the Robin-Shepperd group for the spring. I will go every Mon, Weds, & Fri & have 4 classes on Tues & Thurs. This will suck!! If I weren't so busy right now, maybe I could be going out a little more & spending even more time with my friends who are graduating in December. I am also still working at Bath & Body Works which will soon be super stressful due to the holidays.

The biggest thing that has occurred is that Hannah got married last weekend! She is now Hannah Bissmeyer!!! CRAZY! I am so happy for her b/c I absolutely love Bizzy, but it is still so weird. She was absolutely gorgeous. It was also one of the most beautiful weddings & receptions I have ever been to. I really am so glad that I got to be a part of her day & a part of the whole process. This, along with the fact that I am graduating in May, make me so anxious. I am super scared of life after college. I am so content here in Athens with my friends. What happens next?? The only thing I look forward to is more serious dating. Haha I have not done that so much in college, which is funny. I don't know what kind of job I want to purue, which I guess that is what my internship is for. I am also not so much sad to move back home, but I am really sad to leave Athens and not be living around my best friends. That will take some serious getting use to.

I am certainly going to make the most of the rest of my time here! I know I have left out so much, but I will try to update this more.

Song- the whole new Justin Timberlake album! Yes he is beyond sexy!
Movie- what's that!? Haha I haven't been to a movie in sooooo long!

New York, New York

So, quite a bit has been going on! Lets start with the bachelorette party in the city!

NY
Hannah, Heather, Caroline, and I all flew out on Friday evening to New York. When we arrived we met up with Melynda & hit up a nice Irish pub for drinks & fun times with a Dutchman & Canadian! The next day, we went around town & sweated a lot! It was horribly hot! So that night was the actual bachelorette night of fun! We met up with wesley & all of us went to Lucky Changs. This place was hilarious! It was a cross dressing restaurant & show sort of deal. We made Wesley get lap dances from all these bachelorettes on their stage. So, after dinner we all headed into Brooklyn to see Wes's new place. After that we then went out dancing & whatnot. All in all a very fun night! Sunday we spent shopping & enjoying our last day in NY! It was a fun, but short trip!

I also moved this past weekend. Jackie & I moved into a 2 bedroom place. We love it :) It is very bright & cheery.

I am soooo excited b/c Mel is coming to stay with us Thurs-Sat!!! I get to pick her up from the airport & JAM will commence. We are all going to the Bridal expo in ATL on Friday. Did I mention she was engaged? haha Not me.... Just to clarify~

Old Friends, New Friends...

You know those moments in life where everything seems to be going right? I mean the times where you have absolutely nothing to complain about. I believe to be in that state right now. I am not taking any classes to worry about this summer, so that is fantastic. I also finally got a job. I am working at Bath & Body Works in Athens. I have a crush to keep me smiling throughout the day. I also got to hang out with my best friends from home for a few wonderful days at the beginning of the week. So wow.... I have nothing to talk about ha.

I do have a busy few weeks coming up. I am going to NY the weekend after next for Hannah's bachelorette party weekend. I am soo excited!! I can't wait to let loose with my best friends in the big apple. It is still so wierd that she will be getting married. I could not be happier for her though. We had an invitation addressing/putting together wine party Monday night at her place. I have not laughed so hard since earlier in the day where we, along with Wes, had lunch. These people are my rocks. They have known me for so long, yet we can all get together & not miss a beat. I am so thankful to have these life long friends in my life. I also love my newer friends and cherish what they have brought into my life. I am such a lucky girl.

By the way, have you ever noticed how many people take an interest in you when you are not searching for it? I mean the old cliche is completely true. Just an observation.....

Current Music: Josh Kelley, Rob Blackledge, David Ryan Harris
Current Movie: Umm... it is not out yet, but I can not wait for The Ballad of Ricky Bobby!!! I love you Will!!

Back & Forth

So, I have been awful about updating this here lately. There is no reason why really, but I guess I have just been lazy. So, this whole summer, I have done nothing but go back & forth from Conyers to Athens. I can't find a job, or at least a job I would consider doing. I know I could always work at like McDonalds or a grocery store, but I just don' t want to do that ha. In the meantime, I have been watching the World Cup. I have been quite obsessed! I can't get enough of it, and sad to say, it ends tomorrow with the final Italy vs. France. GO ITALY! Neither of the teams were my favs, but oh well. Lets see....what else has been going on? I have gone out a few fun times with great people. Lets not forget about free beer Mondays. They are always eventful & hella fun!

When I have more to write about, don't worry I will update. :)

Never Goodbye...

The time that I, as well as Jackie, have been dreading has occurred. Mel and Jay moved to Fort Lauderdale, FL. last weekend. Mel and I went out to La Cozuela to eat a "goodbye" dinner last Thursday. Then, we headed downtown to meet up with Jay and the boys. We soon got bored with just one place, so we went to another bar. Ashlyn, Amanda, and Katie all made appearences at The Winery where Mel & I had taken up residence haha. Finally, Jackie made it out. A final night of JAM could now start. This night was so fun and memorable. From crazy pictures at All Good to dancing at The Loft to The Grill, it was a classic JAM night. I ended up taking Mel and Jay....as well as shit faced Jackie....home. I could barely keep the tears in when I dropped M & J off. I knew I would see them 1 last time in the morning, but I guess it just hit me. Jackie ended up leaving her purse & phone dt/with Nick. I had to go on a quest to retrieve her stuff haha. When I got home, she was asleep in my tub hahaha. It was awesome. The next morning, I went & picked M & J up to bring them to their car & say bye. When we said our goodbyes, Mel started to tear up, which made us tear up as well. When they left, Jackie & I just watched them go crying. I am so happy for them, but it is so hard to watch some of your best friends leave and go 13 hours away.

Now....Back to summer time. I am trying to get a job, but it is kind of hard as to what I can do. My rib is still sore, and my arm range of motion is not back to normal. Also, my mom has quite the month of June activities planned. They keep saying..."when are you going to get a job", yet expect me to be at all these events. Oh well...hopefully I will find a job soon!

Drunkin Goodness

How do I begin to sum up the best 2 1/2 weeks ever?! Well I will start with the graduation week. Monday was free beer night. Haha Amanda & I got hammered! Of course we did...it is free beer Monday?! Come On! Tuesday, we bucked it up and went out. I actually was proud of myself bc I at least drank a little. haha. Wednesday night was the Pineview/Ben's Big Letdown party. Soo much fun! I was a little skeptical that I would have an awesome time b/c I was walking into a high school reunion party. I was so sad when my wing girls couldn't come with me, but it turned out to be a blessing. I met so many awesome new people and got closer to the people I already new. Thursday, Amanda and I drove to Jonesboro to try on my bridesmaid dress for Hannah's wedding. That was an awesome road trip!! Amanda got to show me her old house & 'stomping grounds' as my mom would say. Friday, Ronnie & Ryan came into town. Ryan hung out with Stacy while me, Ronnie, Jackie, and JK went out. We first went to a party that involved flip cup and jello shots. Haha I am pretty sure I should have gone home then...but no. We next went downtown. Yeah....um lets just say I was shit faced! Saturday was magic! I woke up late and hella hung over, but I got my stuff together & headed to Katie P/Betsy/Erin/& Nikki's graduation party. I got there and immediately started drinking to feel better haha. I had such an awesome time! There was a nice slideshow by the parents and speech by Amanda. I didn't want to go, but had to get to Jay's graduation party clear across town. I arrived there in time to play some beer pong with my partner Nick. That party was a blast too! I decided to leave & head back to Katie's. When I got back there, everyone was pretty drunk...hahha especially Amanda. I drank some more with them all & we all headed home to take naps & go out. When I woke up from my nap, I was still drunk haha. I met everyone at Genco to celebrate graduation & have a great time. By the time I got there, I was sobering up & decided to keep doing that b/c I had a long drive the next day. Haha I limited myself to 3 drinks. I ended up hanging out with Tommy, Devane, & Mendel at Moose Club with some Waffle House. After that it was bed time!

End of Days...

It is finals time again...yay....haha. Even more pressing is the fact that so many of my good friends are graduating and moving on. With every year passing, it becomes scarier and scarier for me b/c I am next. I was suppose to graduate in 1 week with them. That fact in itself is completely frightning. Back to finals... I am not too worried about any of mine. I am done with 2 of my classes already with one final and one paper to go.

I wish I had more school oriented things on my mind. I don't know how much longer I can write in this and dance around what I am truely feeling. I have no idea who reads this, nor am I ashamed of it because it does relieve some tension. I just wish I could write what I think or what or feel about things. If I did, I am sure someone would read that & think what a crazy girl I am. Circumstances suck right now....oh wait welcome to my life.

Ok... 1 week until finals are over!!
1 1/2 weeks until I am on the beach enjoying a nice fruity cocktail! :)
