BIG NEWS!!!!

IM ENGAGED and couldn't be happier!!!!


That's me and Kyle after the proposal.


The ring <3

Let's see the proposal happened last Saturday around 3:00. We were on on a pub crawl with all of our friends and when we got to our first bar, 15 minutes in, he kept hugging me (because my family was walking in the door and didn't want me to see them) then he whispered in my ear you know I want to spend the rest of my life with you and he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! (How stinkin cute). It was the most amazing moment in my life thus far. To make it even better not only were my friends there but my family surprised me by being there too.

I can't wait to start planning the wedding and I'm hoping to use this blog as I a way to document the process. I want to be able to look back at this time and be able to remember all of the details. I hope you guys will bear with me through this loonngg process. Yay! That is all for now! Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

What I've been doing!(Lottsss of pictures)

Well I've been pretty busy lately with work and just everyday life. Here is a little recap of what's been happening in my life for the past couple of weeks.

-I started a new job about 2 months ago which requires me to travel some. So far I've been to NYC and Washington DC. All in all it's great and I'm loving it!

Well I think this post is wayyyy too long and if you're still with me, well I commend you. Hope everyone had a great weekend and is gearing up for the week ahead!

Don't worry I'm still here!

As some of you know I recently started a new job about 2 months ago. Booyyyy has it been crazy. Between starting my new job and my sister's wedding in November, my time is pretty much consumed! I am loving my new job and I get to travel about 1-2 a a month. I finally feel as if I'm beginning my career and not just some job. Along with the technical things I am learning at my new job, I am also learning a lot about myself. I feel like I am "growing" up into an adult.

I've always considered myself pretty outgoing, but HATED (and I mean hated)asking questions when I was in an unfamiliar situation or when I felt I had the wrong answer. This job has taught me to ask a billion questions. Since, it is unfamiliar territory I must ask questions in order to succeed. Also, with traveling so much I often have to ask where to get a cab, how to get to a particular place, etc. I truly feel soo blessed for this wonderful opportunity. I am forming friendships with my co-workers and I am constantly meeting new people (which I LOVE)! All in the all these past 2 months have flown by. Other then that nothing too exciting has been going on. I will try and keep you all updated in what is going on. Hope everyone is doing great!!

Welp! Today Is My Last Day....

Today is my last day of work and I am having so many mixed emotions! I have been with this company for 5 years now and today is soo bittersweet for me. I have formed personal relationships with each and every person and it will be weird to come to work and not see their faces. On the other hand, I am beginning a new job on Monday in a completely new city. This position is in the field that I studied in so I feel as if I've accomplished something in the past four years. I'm excited that I am going to learn new things and meet new people, but its still hard to leave the familiar. One of my biggest fears is getting lost in the city. AHHHHH!! Me and my mom are doing a "test" run tomorrow morning during morning rush hour to see what train to take and roads to walk. Soo all in all I'm ready for new beginnings!

My New Chapter!

Ok Ok Ok sooo I know I have been the MOST horrible blogger right now but I've been crazy busy with sooo many things going on. Hmm let's see where I do even begin to fill you all in on what's been happening with me (not that you all care, buutttt oh well). Within the past week 2 of my best girlfriends got engaged to 2 of the most amazing guys ever! I am sooo estactic for both of them. Congratulations to you both!! Moving right along my sister is getting married in November soooo now is the time that my mom and grandmom become CRAZY!! "We gotta plan this, do that, do this" Geez do I ever get a break?? Not that I am not happy for my sister because I couldn't be any happier for her, it's just she lives 2 hours away so I get to hear ALLLLL of the craziness..whew! Let's see in other IMPORTANT news (and why this title is what it is)...I GOT MY START DATE FOR THE NEW JOB!!! I start a week from today and I am soooo frickin nervous!! I will be working in the city which=taking public transportation..pft..now this should be interesting....I am wayyyy excited though. I finally feel like the last four years are paying off and I am actually in the field that I studied in. Yay to new beginnings and chapters!!

Hmm this past weekend my mom came shopping with me to pick up some new work clothes since I don't really have too many. It was nice to spend some quality time with her! It will be sad to leave her after this week (I have worked with her since I was 17). I thoroughly enjoy our morning/evening car rides to/from work. That's where we do ALOT of our talking. It will be weird next Monday morning hopping in my car and driving to the speedline (with no one to talk to :( ) and going to work by myself. My mom is one of my best friends so I definitely think this will be hard on both of us. Thankfully she is totally supportive! Love you mom!!

Soooo if you are still reading I commend you!! But....pictures are coming. One of my friends who is a Marine and is stationed in Japan (and one of the guys above mentioned engaged) came home on leave so a bunch of us decided to go to the city to celebrate his return. Can I just say I had WAYYYY too much fun. My friends are absolutely amazing!! Ok Ok Ok..so here are some pictures...

Anywho Saturday afternoon my Graduation Party started around 4:00 and we were expecting anywhere between 75-100 people. Talk about in all my glory 75-100 there to celebrate me! Talk about AWESOME!! Anyway we had a DJ that arrived at 6:00 with a kareoke machine and we also had a slushie machine (talk about a big hit). Everyone had a blast on the kareoke machine that we even paid the DJ extra money to stay an extra hour. Ha..I had the time of my life and I am soooo thankful for all of the amazing people that are in my life!! Of course this post comes equipped with pictures so here ya go!

Now on to why I am having such an amazing day....I GOT A JOB OFFER!! I am sooo excited and can not wait to see what the next chapter of my life brings :)

From the past to the present.

So last night was my youngest brother's 8th grade Graduation. As I sat in the audience looking at the stage, I remembered what it was like sitting in those very chairs just a short 8 years ago. I feel like it was yesterday that I was graduating 8th grade and moving on to high school. It amazing to see how far I have come in these past 8 years.

In 8th grade, my emotions were allll over the place and I had what I thought would be friends for a lifetime. Upon entering high school some of my "closest" friends moved on to new friends as I did too. All throughout high school I maintained a close knit of about 4 other girls which we considered ourselves "The Fab 5." To this day I am still extremely close with these girls. We met in 7th grade when I moved and have never looked back.

During high school I had my heart broken more times then I can count. I never thought I would find anything that loved me for me. Fast forward to senior year where I met Kyle, my current boyfriend. He was/is the most amazing person and 4 1/2 years later I know what true love is.

Now 8 years after 8th grade I have graduated college with an Accounting degree and am looking for my first "big girl" job. I am soo happy with the way my life is panning out and am soooo excited for what is to come. I have been through alot these past 8 years but those experiences are what makes me who I am. Well everyone have a wonderful Thursday and thanks for reading my rant. :)
