One Year Down, Lots More To Come

So today was my one year anniversary with Matt. And it was amazing. :] We've spent the entire day together and it has been great. He came over this morning and woke me up. We spent a couple hours at my house together just laying around in bed and then we started the day together. I gave him his present which was a painting I did of a beach scene with an anchor and wings at the bottom also with silhouettes of the two of us with some words from a song title we claim as "our song." But there's a pic at the bottom, so just look for yourself. Lolz. He gave me a shopping spree with $200 to spend however and wherever I wanted to. So needless to say, I have had fun today. xD 
I really feel like this is a very important date in our relationship, and certainly one that will always be in my memory. We had a great day together just us as a couple for their anniversary. We've both had such a great day full of joy and happiness. There have been smiles on both of our faces all day and it has been a great feeling. I don't really know what else to say about it other than it was an amazing day and I'm glad that I was able to spend it with the man that I love so very much. And I'm pretty sure this isn't gonna be just a one year relationship. There are plenty of anniversaries to come. :]

A Year To Remember

So tomorrow will be an entire year that I've been dating my boyfriend, Matt. I've really been thinking about our relationship the closer we've gotten to this important milestone and all the great times we've had together not only as a couple, but as each other's best friend. We've had a lot of laughs and a lot of smiles. And there are a lot of very memorable moments I have stored in my memory that I'd like to share with you readers as we get so close to this amazing date. 
I remember the very day he asked me out on our first date. I'd just gotten out of a long-term relationship with someone and not many people knew for about a week or two. He'd been talking to me a couple days before he found out and we'd talked about going to a movie with some friends or something like that. I agreed and we set up a date for when I got home from the vacation that I was on. But when it came out about me and my ex, he asked if I wanted to make it a date instead. I of course said yes. Lolz. We already knew that we liked each other, and after he found out that I was single we started actually talking. 
When I came home from vacation we actually started dating. We got together officially as a couple on July 21, 2010. And tomorrow is our ONE YEAR anniversary. (Which I am so very excited for. ♥) But anyway, I remember the first time we said "I love you." I was the first to say it, even though I really didn't want to put myself out there. Lolz. I just kind of took a chance and went for it. We were sitting around one afternoon and I was looking at him and suddenly this smile ad slight blush came across my face and I looked away from him. He said "What?" with his own little smile and I remember just shyly saying it out loud... "I think I love you," I told him. When I searched his face for a reaction all I saw was happiness...and maybe love. And when he said it back, it felt perfect. We sealed it with a kiss, and said it at least once every day since. *sigh* I love that man more than words could ever express...
There are so many more memories between us, but not enough time or space for me to tell you about them all. I could never stop telling you about all of the times he has taken my breath away with his kisses or swept me up to slow dance to a beautiful song and made me feel like a princess. Or about all the times he's held me and wiped my tears away when I was scared or hurt. And not even about all the times we've whispered sweet secrets to each other while we stared deeply into each other's eyes.... No, I could never have enough time or space to tell you about all the wonderful things we've experienced with each other or all of the memories I have logged away into my brain... But I can share with you some pictures of us over the year that we've spent together and tell you a little bit about each one, so I think that's what I will do. Lolz.

The first picture I ever took of us kissing

So look forward to that entry sometime tomorrow or Friday morning. Haha. :] Don't forget to comment/follow!! Thanks for reading!

VBS Officially Done

Tonight was the last night of Vacation Bible School at my dad's church. This week has been pretty fun...even though we've had a lot of hectic situations including screaming children, hurt children, selfish children, and even a missed class....but most of all a blessing. 
At first I'd thought about blogging tonight to rant about how terrible the last night went, but after thinking about it in the closing assembly, I changed my mind. This week has been great. It was a complete blessing to be able to work with all of those cute little preschoolers and to see their happy, smiling faces every night. They were there to hear about God, and every night they proved that was what they heard. They came into the classroom every day singing the VBS songs and smiling and jumping around. Seeing all of their faces, eager to learn and hear about God made me happy. And being able to further their knowledge made me feel good.
So even though they did get a little loud sometimes which made my ears ring, I was just happy to be there and see all their smiling faces. The joy in them gave me joy. It made me glad to be there.
It was a good week. We raised money for school supplies for the children in the Baptist Children's Village and I think ended with a total of about $700 which was awesome. Not to mention all the boys and girls who were saved during the week of VBS.
This was my third year to help and I can assure you that it won't be my last. :]

Vacation Bible School Is An Adventure

This week we're having vacation bible school at my dad's church, North Columbia Baptist. Tonight has been the third night. I volunteered to help out in the preschool crafts class again this year for I think the third or fourth year in a row. Well needless to say, when you work with preschoolers you can NEVER predict what is going to happen.
The first night was pretty calm. There weren't that many in each class and they all behaved very well.
The second night was a bit more hectic. ESPECIALLY since we had SIXTEEN four year olds in the four year old class... That was an adventure.
Tonight...was...insane. We had a total of close to forty kids out of all three of our classes and they were all wild... The five year olds have sass and so that makes it hard to deal with them sometimes when you're the one in charge, but they think the opposite.... The four year olds have a MASSIVE  class and so that is what makes it hard to deal with all of them. They actually grew again and had NINETEEN for tonight... Wow. The three year olds are actually our best class because they still listen to you...for the most part. Ha.
However, I had something happen to me tonight that I can honestly say I NEVER would've expected... One of the three year old little girls in our class came up behind me tonight and lifted the back of my dress exposing my entire backside to two older ladies sitting behind me.... I. Thought. I. Would. Die. Now thank goodness I don't think that they say me, but it was just that moment of knowing that my butt was being shown to whoever was back there. I was SSSSSSOOOOOOO embarrassed... I immediately turned around and pulled my dress down and with bright red checks told the little girl "No!! Don't do that. That's not nice at all." Her reply? She giggles...and tries to do it again a few minutes later... *sigh* I can tell I'm gonna have fun this week. Lolz

Please comment/follow. Thanks again for everyone's support. I hope you guys are still out there!! I'm not getting that many comments lately. :P Also, please answer the poll as well. Morbid yes I know, but it just randomly popped into my head. Lolz.

So I don't really have any pictures tonight, so enjoy this random picture of me with Hello Kitty! :D

Home Sweet Home

Ok, so first of all let me apologize for the lack of posting for the past two days. The first night I was super tired whenever I got back to the condo, therefore I didn’t really feel like sitting in front of the computer and typing. Yesterday I was basically going wide open ever from the moment I got back home. Anyway, I’m gonna talk about both days but I promise not to make it too long. Haha.

            The last day in Florida was…well I don’t really know how to describe it. Honestly, until about 3 or 4 that day it was awful… I got into an argument with my mom and then wound up on Skype with my boyfriend crying over how miserable I was at that place. But it eventually got better after I secretly took out my rage by beating the heck out of my sisters in the pool “just playing chicken and messing around in the pool.” :] ANYWHO……I got my henna tattoo and I love it. It looks really cool. I’ve got pics at the bottom. That night we had lots of fun actually. We went to this place called “The Track” where they had goofy golf and go-kart racing and so much other stuff. It was really fun and we wound up getting back to the condo around 12:30 AM. xD

            Yesterday was a nice day. Lolz. The long ride home sucked really bad... We ate at Lambert's on the way home and it was really good as usually. But when I actually did get home I felt SO MUCH BETTER!! First of all I discovered that we has little baby ducks waddling around the yard. They're so cute. :D I went to see my best friends Jessica and Braxton and also Lacey who is down here visiting from Tupelo. Then I got to go and spray paint a sign for my dad’s church. That was fun too. Lolz. The most fun I had that night though was surprising my amazing boyfriend who I have missed SO MUCH this past week. He had to work last night but he gets off at ten. So who was sitting in the parking lot waiting for him when he walked out? This chick. :] Lolz. So I got to spend almost a whole hour with him until I had to be home.

            This morning I’m going to church with Matt and then he is HOPEFULLY coming to help me out at the first day of vacation bible school at my dad’s church tonight. So that’s all I’ve got for now. Enjoy the pictures. I probably won’t post another entry until tomorrow night, so I hope this one was worth reading. :P

Florida Day Six

Day six... *sigh* What. A. Day. First of all, I'm not sure if I ever mentioned this before, but I HAAAAAAAAAAAATE drama... Well today was one of those days where drama was just inescapable... First I had some girl who came to me with some mess about my relationship that wound up being just some huge misunderstanding... Then later tonight I got put in the middle of some drama between my boyfriend and this JERK I know... Needless to say, I've been very stressed out today... But thank goodness that tomorrow is our final full day down here. I'm not really sure what we're gonna be doing tomorrow, but let me tell you about the un-drama-filled parts of my day. Lolz. This morning we went to the outlet mall again and looked for some uniform shirts and stuff for school. That afternoon we came back and chilled at the condo until it was time to get ready for the family pictures. Those actually went really well. I have a feeling that they're gonna come out very pretty. :] I'll be sure to post some whenever we get the disk with them on there. Anyway, after that we had dinner at Gilligan's Seafood and it was really great. The service was awesome and the food was amazing. We even got seated at a table on the dock overlooking a beautiful harbor. I got some pictures but honestly, I'm just too tired and lazy right now to walk upstairs to the loft and get my camera so tonight you just get a lovely random picture of me wearing a hello kitty hat...scarf...thing... xD If you wanna see, look on my Facebook (If you're friends with me that is) in the Destin album. That's really all that happened today. Not much else. I don't wanna go into the details of all the drama mess 'cause I'm just leaving that all where it right now, in a grave buried 100 ft underground... So I'm really tired now and I just got off of Skype with Matt who is probably falling asleep as we speak lolz. Good night everyone.
Please don't forget to comment/follow. Oh! And also don't forget to answer the new poll I have put up. Thanks again for all of everyone's support. :]

Florida Day Five

Today was really a big ole day of shopping. I went to the outlet mall in the morning with my mom, Kim, and my youngest sister and we stayed there 'til about two in the afternoon. I got two really cool new pair of shoes. We went to a lot of different places the first trip. I also got to go into two stores that I've always wanted to look around in: DKNY (Donna Karen New York) and Juicy Couture. They were both outrageously expensive of course, but it was cool that I at least got to walk around in them. Haha. After lunch we came back to the condo and got everybody. We went to a Surf Style and shopped around there for about an hour. I finally finished all my shopping for friends' gifts. I also got a new t-shirt that I'm really proud of. It's purple and it says "No matter how far you travel the world... You'll never find anything as good as a southern girl." ♥ :D Haha. Anyway, after we left there we went back to the outlet mall for about three hours or so. I got a new outfit from Aeropostale that I'm wearing right now. Lolz. I got a delicious frozen chocolate dipped banana. It was amazing. ♥ I also found an AMAZING store!! It's called Earthbound Trading Company and it was like a hippie's dream land. They had EVERYTHING!! They had incense, wind-chimes, sundresses, sandals, mardi gras masks, signs to hang on your doors/walls/etc,  and so much other stuff. (Pictures at the bottom) We walked around about another hour or two and just went around in different stores. We also went and got ice cream after we left the mall. Yum. :] That was pretty much all I did that day. And we're going back tomorrow to get school uniforms from Aero. Fun, fun. Ha. 
More to come tomorrow.

Florida Day Four - Brace Yourself For This One

Ok. So today was terrible to be completely and totally blunt with you. This morning I got woke up before seven o'clock... Then I tried to go back to sleep and got woke up about two hours later by very loud children... After that I tried to go to sleep again 'cause I was up very late last night but ONCE AGAIN was woken up. So I finally decided to get out of bed when I realized I wasn't gonna get to sleep anymore. I had to babysit around mid-afternoon and was promised that I would be paid and STILL haven't gotten that money yet even though they got back around 6 or 6:30. Oh, and during that time I was called dumb and stupid and also a brat because I  was only doing what I was told to do by the people who put me IN CHARGE of them all. And it was actually the older one of them! The one who I thought might actually act like a sane human being!! Silly me, I guess... Anyway, then I had my phone and laptop taken away from me for something that my mother claimed I said which I did not. She also told me to (and I quote) "get a job, pack my s**t, and move out." I walked outside and cried. And for those of you who know me, you know that I don't cry that often. Quite frankly, I'm sick of this "vacation" 'cause all the arguing, screaming, fighting, drinking, and cursing is getting really old... I'm ready to come home.
No pictures tonight... Keep me in your prayers tonight and for the rest of this week please. Count down 'til I'm finally away from it all: 4

Florida Day Three

It's day three of my vacation in Florida, and I can honestly say today was a pretty great day. :] Oh, and by the way happy fourth of July everyone! ♥ 
So this morning I FINALLY got to relax for a few hours which was really nice. We had a great lunch in the condo and not too much longer after that we went to Seaside. That's where all the fun happened. We walked around in some of the shops to see what was there. They were all really expensive, but they had some really cool stuff. The best store we went into this afternoon was a place called Duckies. Oh the fun we had... xD I'm putting several of the pictures on here so all of you can see. They had so many things to play with. I found a HUGE sock monkey and got a picture of me hugging it. I loved it. Lolz. Then I found this really cool spike shell backpack. They even had smaller versions for little kids. They reminded me of the turtle shells from Mario Kart. Haha. They had tons of things, but you'll see in the pictures below. After that we walked around to see what else we could find. We found several little food/drink shacks that had some really cool sounding food. We got some HUGE snowballs (possibly the biggest I've ever seen) from a place called Frost Bites. I found a place that had the BEST fried dill pickles I have ever tasted. They. Were. Delicious. ♥ After that we sat around waiting for the fireworks. We eventually walked down to the beach to kill some time and found some really cool sand sculptures. I've got several pictures of those below for you to see. I even found a tiny shell and a shark tooth in the water! :D The fireworks were beautiful. We had a really great view of them from where we were sitting.
We had a lot of fun messing with people on the way home. It took us about half an hour to get out of the back alleys and city streets, so we had nothing better to do besides mess with all the pedestrians walking by. xD We had several laughs at some of the reactions we got out of people and even they laughed it off when they realized it was a joke.
So that was my day. Once again, Happy Independence Day. I hope everyone had a wonderful, SAFE day. More to come tomorrow. Please don't forget to comment/follow. Thanks. :]
