I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day!!Fun cookouts, good food, and most of all time spent remembering those brave men and women who give today its meaning. I am so thankful for those who served and gave the ultimate sacrifice and those who continue to put their lives on the line each day for my freedom. Thank you!!
Well, this weekend has been crazy busy. I've been going none stop so it feels like my four day weekend flew by. Friday I went to Festival in the Park with Jenn and her friend Brad. Rodney Atkins was performing which is really the only performer I wanted to see that was on the schedule this year. We had a great time and I loved the new songs he sang!! Plus, Festival is such a fun atmosphere anyways!!
Saturday I went down the street to babysit the twins I usually babysit over the summers. I've been watching them and their older brother for awhile now and their parents were going to a wedding so I told them I'd watch the kids for the weekend. The kids are pretty good overall so it was easy money for two and a half days. Saturday afternoon though I had a wedding to work so my mom came down and watched the twins and Andrew for about five hours while I was gone. I'm so thankful she did that for me because the wedding was so fun! I loved the people I worked with and there were some sexy military boys attending I could drool over too!!ha!! I got to cut a layer of the cake too. Erin also told me she's a member of the group that puts on Festival in the Park and said I should look into it!! I absolutely love her for teaching me and sharing such great information with me! I think I definitely want to look into that! That'd be awesome!!
Sunday I got up early to get the kids ready. Andrew, the older boy, was going with some of his friends to church and stay with them for the day. I was going with my mom, dad, and the twins to my grandparents' for my cousin Zach's baptism and then a Memorial Day cookout! Andrew had choir practice and we didn't know what time we'd be back so that's why his parents made other plans for him. The twins were great overall. They got a little whiny during church but sat for a good part of the service without making a sound. They really are great kids. After church, we went back for lunch and you would've thought the twins were part of the family. They played so well with all the other kids and all my little cousins loved them.
Today, I got home about 12:30ish from babysitting and had planned on going for a run right then, but the heavens decided to open up so I worked on some homework until it cleared up. I got most of my assignment done but need to finish a few more pieces of it tomorrow. Nothing too exciting today - just relaxing and catching up with my parents. I also saw one of my friends from high school I hadn't seen in awhile which was nice. I love randomly seeing old friends when I least expect it. I can't complain about my weekend. It was great! Unfortunately it's coming to an end and classes start back up tomorrow =/
So with that said, I better get ready for bed so I'll be able to get up in the morning. Hope everyone has a great night and a blessed week ahead.
God.Bless.America. --- and our troops!!

Catch Up!
Wow - it feels like forever since I've written on here. This past week has been hectic!! Last Monday I started my Econ class at Western which is two nights a week and then yesterday I started my class at Tech. I'd planned on taking an online accounting class as well BUT with such a crazy schedule this summer I decided to drop it. There was so much work involved with that class since it was online, I just didn't want to get stressed over it. Plus, it's not a class I necessarily need to take right at this moment.
Along with classes, I am also shadowing Erin and working at the gym down at Tech a few days a week since I'm there every morning for class. I thought I'd be able to also work at HVCC as well as shadow but Patrick, the clubhouse manager, said he didn't think he'd be able to fit me in since my availability was limited. I'm so thankful I can get some hours in at the gym though!! It really worked out for the best because I don't think I would've had much free time working both jobs, shadowing, and taking classes!hah...but over all I am loving shadowing Erin! I also am interning with another girl who goes to JMU - Kelly. I played softball against her in high school which was cool. I love her! We get along great!
So since I'm not "working" at Hidden Valley, my summer income is coming from the gym.hah! It was so nice to get back down to Blacksburg. I'd already started to miss it - a lot!! But it's definitely different from during regular semesters - campus feels so empty!! I'll be able to get a lot of my reading for my classes done while I'm working at the desk which is a big positive!! Plus - seeing some summer gym goers that are easy on the eyes isn't too bad either.hah! Work is always laid-backed but even more so in the summer - and I'm not complaining one bit!! :) But yea...my class down at Tech I don't think should be all that bad. A PhD student teaches it and the first two classes we've been let out at least half an hour early!hah! The class is really small -- only about 20 people which is nice. Lots of athletes! Not too worried about the it in general.
I don't know about anywhere else, but today the weather was so strage for this area. One minute it was cloudy and pouring down rain and literally the next it was clear and sunny. And it kept going on like that all day. Really weird. But thankfully it stopped in time for me to go on a nice run when I got home this afternoon. I haven't gone on a good run in awhile so it was nice to get out there today. I felt so much better afterwards.
Well I guess I should get off here and start working on some school work. Hope everyone's had a great week so far!!Half-way through tomorrow!! Have a great evening!!

First day of shadowing...
So today was the first day I got to actually shadow the events planner I'll be working with this summer. I sat in on a meeting with Erin and three other women and we talked about a bridal show they are all going to put on in mid-September. It was so exciting! It's not going to be the traditional bridal show, but more so like a cocktail party/girl's night out theme. We talked about the different vendors that were being considered and decided on how the ballroom would be set up. I felt so involved and I loved it! I can tell I'm cut-out for this kind of job. I get such an awesome feeling doing things like I did today and being in that kind of atmosphere. I feel so in my element. (It's definitely an entirely different feeling from the feeling I got after shadowing PTs. I feel so much more excited and positive about what I'm doing.) I called my mom after our meeting today and she told me tonight she could tell in my voice and expression that I loved what I did today and it was a complete 180 from when I shadowed the PTs in January. (For all those who don't know, I went into college with a toss up between physical therapy and events planning. I chose to try PT but after shadowing this winter I found out physical therapy didn't excite me like I tought it would. So I'm now doing events planning. And my first experience so far has been amazing!) I'm looking forward to what this summer has in store for me!
Shadowing took up the first part of my day which was a great start, but unfortunately I had to come back home to work on homework and reading for my summer classes. Yuck!! I don't think my classes will be that bad overall. At least I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they won't! :)
I hope everyone had a great day!!! Oh and by the way for all you Dancing With the Stars fans...I'm so sad Chad and Cheryl got eliminated tonight. I love them!! ha but I'm sure there's way more important things on people's minds tonight. Well, I guess that's it...not too much to write about today.
Goodnight everyone!!!

Lazy Sunday...
Today was a pretty lazy day -- can't say that I mind considering tomorrow I start summer classes and work. I'm sad I woke up late and missed church this morning. Next week that's definitely NOT happening! I haven't been to Parkway in forever. I miss it -- hopefully they'll have a bible study group I can get involved in for the summer.
But...I did get a head start on some of my reading for one of my summer classes. I took a few online quizzes too! I'm hoping to stay ahead of schedule so I won't be so bogged down with work every day. I hope I can stick with that mind set. I did that for the majority of the afternoon and then just piddled around until dinner. After dinner, my mom and I watched Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. It's been forever since I've watched a full episode of that show and I'm glad I chose tonight's to watch. So many of the episode's for that show are emotional and touching but tonight's was so incredibly inspiring. The special guests on the show were the real-life Touey (?) family--Leanne, Michael, Sean Jr. and Collins. It was about a family whose six-year-old son has spina bifida and the dad was recently diagnosed with ALS. That horrible disease has got to be so so hard and debilitating on not only the one effected by it, but also the family, but somehow this inspirational man found no time to feel sorry for himself and chose not to let ALS destroy the life he still has to live. He has loved football for his whole life and played in college and now coaches a high school team. His family and his players are his life. It was heart-breaking to here him talk about his condition. The disease has already given him a limp and effected his speech. But again, he's accepted the fact that his disease in incurable but said something that is so so true. He said that "I have lou garages disease. So what. It doesn't change me. It may change how I do certain things, but it doesn't change this [tapping at his heart]." I cried A LOT during that episode. To know there is no specific cause or cure for ALS makes me sick to my stomach. Tonight's episode really made me think about doing something to help victims of Lou Garages. Even though I don't know anyone directly effected by it, I've heard about the disease from multiple people who know someone with the disease. It's such a selfish disease. So if any of you fellow bloggers knows of how I can help out, please let me know. I'll be searching on my own too and hopefully I'll find something. Please pray for the Williams family tonight. I know I will.
Well I hope you all enjoyed this post. Maybe this story inspired you to do something to raise awareness for some cause that sparks a fire in your heart. But I'm going to hit the sack soon after ArmyWives goes off. I'm supposed to meet with an events planner tomorrow that I will be shadowing this summer so I better get some rest. I don't want to be dragging on my first day!
Goodnight and have a safe and blessed week!!

Wrightsville Beach, NC
Well, it's back to reality... I've been at the beach since Monday with Jenn and Jess and it felt so nice to get away and relax for a few days. We went to Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina for a short vaca before we all start our busy summers. Wrightsville is such a cute, quaint little town. I loved it.
We left early Monday morning and made good timing getting down to the beach. Our room wasn't ready when we got there so we went for a walk down the beach. It was a pretty eventful walk -- met a family whose son went to Tech and Jess's rainbows almost got washed out to sea. haha! Since it was pretty chilly we unpacked and went down to the stretch of road with the local shops. We went into one of the surf shops and Jenn bought a pair of TOMS shoes. I saw a really cute pair and spent the rest of the trip contemplating whether or not to buy them (I eventually ended up buying them and I'm so glad I did. I love them. They're black with white writing all over them that says 'make art.not war'). There wasn't a whole lot to do at night, so we spent our evenings playing bocce ball, volleyball, and watching all the surfers. (There were tons of them - must be the thing to do down there.) We tried two local restaurants and a local coffee shop which were all three delicious! One of the restaurants was called "The Oceanic" which was on the pier right next to the place we were staying. The coffee shop and "King Neptune" were about a mile-and-a-half or so down the road. The sun finally came out and the wind died down on Wednesday so we got in some rays on our last full day which was nice. Then, this morning before we headed home, Jess and I got up early to see the sunrise. It was a little hazy so we didn't see it come up over the horizon but we did see it break the clouds and let me just say -- wow!! The sunrise over the ocean was gorgeous! I definitely need to start taking advantage of the little things in life. Can't believe I've been missing out on that all these past beach trips!
We had a safe trip home and now I'm just going to relax the rest of the weekend before my Western summer classes start. I had such a great time this past week with great friends. Hopefully we'll all never get too old for a short girl's vacation. Great times and lots of wonderful memories :)

Best friends' COLLEGE graduation!!
WOW!!! I can't believe three of my longest and closest friends graduated from college today!! Crazy! Jenn, Jess, and Katie all graduated from JMU this morning and now they're offically alumus of JMU! SO SO proud of them!! I'm so glad the rain held off and it ended up being a beautiful day for the ceremonies (minus the hurricane-force winds!) Graduation went by surprisingly fast and afterwards we all went back to jenn and jess's apartment for BBQ and lots of other yummy food :) I'm so glad Katie came over so all of us could get our picture that's been a tradition since elementary school. It was like a Carlos Drive reunion and I LOVED it!! It was such a great time. I hope the new grads enjoyed their special day with friends and family.
Congratulations Jenn, Jess, and Katie!!! I'm so proud of you!! Love ya'll!!!
Congratulations Jenn, Jess, and Katie!!! I'm so proud of you!! Love ya'll!!!

Sweet Sweet Summertime...
Wow!!! I'm officially done with my sophomore year of college!! This year flew by! I don't know why, but it was kind of bittersweet packing up all my things and leaving the dorm for the last time. Last time I'll ever be staying in a dorm room. I am MORE than ready to have my own place, but something about living on-campus means a lot more to the college experience. I'll definitely miss the convenience of dorm living I have to admit.
Well, finals started today for everyone and I lucked out and had my last final today at 1:00. My other "finals" were either papers I needed to turn in or the last test was the "final" in that class. I was pumped I got done so early--now I have a full week until summer classes start. (I'm taking summer classes so I can catch up in my new major for fall semester.) I finished my exam early so I went back to my room, got what little I had left packed up, then checked out. My roommate, Ashley, still has to take her exams next week so it was weird seeing all of her things still on her side of the room and mine completely bare and empty. I was hoping my RA, Lindsey, who became one of my really good friends this year, would be back from her exam and be able to check me out so I could say goodbye. I was really sad when she wasn't and I had to leave without seeing her. Thankfully she called me when I got home and said she has to stay at Tech until next weekend and is going to try and come up to Roanoke so we can have lunch before she leaves for home. I hope that works out because I won't see her next year -- she's co-opting so she'll be working back in Tennessee all of next year.
It was so nice driving home knowing I'll be here for almost three whole months. After unpacking my car, my mom and I went out to Ross and Marshall's to look for me something to wear for my best friends' graduation tomorrow and for some much needed pairs of shorts for this summer. I had planned on driving down to Forever21 to look there, but we would've been pushed for time -- plus Ross and Marshall's never disappoints me :) Didn't end up finding a dress to wear, but I did get two new pairs of shorts and a pair of shoes. I'll just have to wear one of my dresses already in my closet which is perfectly fine -- I have a few to choose from.
Another reason for staying to shop here was because my mom told me that my high school softball team was playing tonight against one of the other top district teams. We decided to meet my dad over at the game since it was going to be a great one to watch. I really just wanted to go to see my old coaches and see what other girls I played with would be there watching. The girls on the team now seem so young to me, but I guess that's because it's been two years already since I left and I don't know hardly anyone on the team anymore. It's always weird for me going back to watch my team play because I hate being on the other side of the fence watching. Every time I wish I was still playing since Northside softball was such a big part of who I was.
I was so so glad to see two of my good friends, Tamara and Caitlin, had come to watch. Cait and I talked most of the time I was there, so I didn't really pay much attention to the game. I said something to my coaches during innings and after the game. It was great to see all of them! I really do miss playing for that group of coaches -- they're amazing people.
Now I'm sitting here thinking about what's happening tomorrow morning. Three of the most amazing people I know are graduating from JMU!! Graduating --from college!!! I still can't believe it. Jennifer, Jessica, Katie, and I have been friends since we were little and I just can't believe they graduate tomorrow. They're supposed to stay in college forever -- not go out into the real world and become working adults :) No--but I am so PROUD of them. All three of them are such solid people and whatever the next chapter in their lives is, I know they'll do amazing things and continue to grow into even more inspiring people than they are now. I just want to wish them a huge CONGRATULATIONS!!!! And I hope they know how proud I am of them! I love them all so much!
But, I should get off of here. We have to leave at 6:15 in the morning to make it up to the ceremony at 9:00. So I better get to bed soon so I won't be draggin' in the a.m. :)
So until next blog -- goodnight!!! And everyone have an amazing and blessed weekend!!

Reminiscing
Wow, for some reason tonight I'm really missing my senior year in high school. I was going through my messages on Facebook, which I just always forget to delete, and found some from my best friends senior year. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and relive certain times of that year. But the past is the past and I know moving on and changing and growing is what we're all supposed to do. Don't get me wrong...I love college -- the independence and the learning and growing into the person I am, but there will never be anything like that tight group of friends I had senior year. Staying out late into the night just talking and hanging out, I had some of the best times of my life. And as time has gone on, I do understand people change and move on, but sometimes I wish I could just blink my eyes and all those fun times would just come rushing back. It makes me sad that we all never hang out anymore over breaks and summers, but that shows me all of us are really growing up and going our separate ways to new lives and new futures. I will always cherish those times I had with everyone and I still love every single one of those friends and now know they were put in my life for a reason and I am so very blessed for that.
Sorry, that was kind of long. I was getting a little emotional writing it. I don't know why, but I guess because that time in my life was so important and special to me. I'm sure that sounds weird, but to me it's not. It just shows me how much time changes everything and everyone.
But, anywaysss...today I got a lot accomplished school-wise. I was proud of myself for not procrastinating on a Saturday :) I had to go to CVS to do an assignment for my Nutrition class and then came back and finished some reading I needed to get done. I planned on going to the Tech baseball game, but wanted to get all my work done. Maybe I'll go to tomorrow's. I'd like to watch the team play before school's out. We're actually ranked #18 now which is amazing!!! I hope the guys go far this year!!
Oh and this afternoon (which was GORGEOUS by the way) I was sitting doing work and heard all these motorcycles. I thought it was just a few but then I kept hearing the engines revving and finally looked out the window to see probably over one hundred bikes taking laps around the drillfield then drive and park on the drillfield sidewalks. My friend Lindsey came in and I asked her if she knew what was going on. She said the riders always drive from far away each year at or around April 16 to I guess pay tribute to the victims of the 4/16 shootings. I thought that was really cool!! I'm so proud to be part of the Hokie Nation :) I went out and took a few pictures which I might post later if I figure out how to post them!
My roommate went home this weekend for her birthday so I'm here by myself. It's rather lonely especially since we moved almost everything out of our room yesterday. The room is so empty compared to what all we had in the little space for eight months. I'm just going to relax and take it easy tonight since tomorrow I need to start studying for my finals!!
Well I guess that's it. I just thought I'd post something since I was in the mood and had things I wanted to get off my chest and chat about. Hope everyone has a great night and enjoys the rest of their weekend!!
Chao!!

She said the riders always drive from far away each year at or around April 16 to I guess pay tribute to the victims of the 4/16 shootings. I thought that was really cool!! I'm so proud to be part of the Hokie Nation :) I went out and took a few pictures which I might post later if I figure out how to post them!
My roommate went home this weekend for her birthday so I'm here by myself. It's rather lonely especially since we moved almost everything out of our room yesterday. The room is so empty compared to what all we had in the little space for eight months. I'm just going to relax and take it easy tonight since tomorrow I need to start studying for my finals!!
Well I guess that's it. I just thought I'd post something since I was in the mood and had things I wanted to get off my chest and chat about. Hope everyone has a great night and enjoys the rest of their weekend!!
Chao!!
