Why do I always wait until Sunday afternoon to remember I have homework? Oh. It’s because I remember I hate homework every day. Yep. That’s it.
No gimmicks
Just one year with the man I love. I’m happy.

Wow, this really touched me.

Forever reblog.

I’ve never heard it described this way. Beauty is so much more than a pretty face. Perfectly put, Ani.
Aaron is home!
He’s finally home. For a short period of time, I forgot how incredibly happy he makes me. I’m glad that I don’t have to forget anymore.

Doing my homework.
Who am I kidding? I’m totally procrastinating.
BUT…back to the point.
The answer to one of my personality psychology questions was: “penis, penis.”
Freud, you so crazy!

Duke Silver= Yet another reason to love Ron Swanson.
Today proved to be a day of internship/summer job searching. I’m sadly admitting that I feel bad for searching for a job without checking with Aaron. It would be nice if we could sort of be in the same spot over the summer.
I’m selfish.
Day 3
Three faithful days in a row of spending 30+ minutes in the workout room. This is a new record for me. The goal is to look good for spring break. Also, to push myself into this. I don’t want to be “that person” who buys a gym membership and never uses it.
I do have to say this about exercise though-my legs have hurt every day since I started. Good hurt, as my dance teacher used...
1. My first day of working out was nice, although it was tiring. But I was proud of the running done and distance covered. Hopefully this can turn into a routine.
2. I talk about Aaron one hell of a lot on here. I’m going to try to fill this blog in with other things so it looks like I’m more well rounded. We’ll see how that works out.
3. Just finished watching...
I'm going to do it.
After noticing that I am a stress eater and have been very stressed the past semester, I’m starting to work out. No, this is not a New Year’s Resolution (I hate that it coincides with that.) Instead it’s a “I’m finally going to feel confident while wearing a swimsuit” and a “I want to not breathe heavily while walking up the hill.” It’s also a...

The semester from hell...
is finally over. And to celebrate, I think I’ll have some drinks with my girls, rearrange my room, and watch Disney movies with the bearded giant. Tomorrow, I will head to the big city to stay at the giant’s house and bake cookies with his mom. Then Saturday, it’s to Grandma’s for a full-on Christmas spectacular, complete with the entire family, a beautiful tree, and...

I know I have this already, but especially at this time of year, it’s very important.
Open response to myself
One of the girls from high school that I often talk to about big life things has this quote on her Facebook page.
There are bigger things. The sooner you know that, the better off you are. There will always be more.” Jenna Kelley
I need to make good on my word and listen to my own advice.
Sometimes it bothers me that I haven’t written anything for a long time. Sometimes I think that the beautiful words no longer enhabit my mind. This scares and frustrates me.
But then again, I’ve started to realize that I don’t write anymore because I am living those things that I used to write about. I am in love. I am figuring it out and grappling with my own demons and...

My boyfriend
is arguably the best guy I know. This weekend he informed me that while we’re in Tampa over spring break that we can go to Disney World. Now, for those of you who know me, this is possibly the most exciting news ever. When I get married, I plan to have two honeymoons. One to Venice (or some other location) and one to Disneyworld. This is my hope.
What's that?
Bon Iver is coming back home to EC for a two-night concert event?
I’m so there. A good addition to my crappy day.

I’m getting old.
Today
I showed my gratitude to someone who helped change my life in a small way. And it made his day.
I challenge you to do the same.
Hey team!
I just bought tickets for me and the boy to go see Mat Kearney in Madison in November! Better news? SEEING DANIELLE AND HER NEW HOME AND HER FUN PLACES! And a weekend away from RA-ing may be just what the doctor ordered at that point.
I love planning. I love planning things to do with the people I love. It’s all smiles here, ladies and gents.
For once I feel like writing.
Your tired arms engulf me and I can’t help but feel overwhelmed with emotion. Lips touch ever so slightly, but it feels more like coming home than a first kiss.
You tell me about your day and I, in turn, thumb-wrestle you while listening intently. This is not the first time we’ve been silly together and I hope it’s not the last.
Running fingers through your hair I feel nothing...

Aaron
I’m going to be honest. This boy in my life makes the chaos more calm. He destresses me. I laugh more heartily, I’m more at ease, I find myself more “myself” when he’s around. He brings out the best in me. Call it love. Call it obsession. Call it friendship. Whatever you call it, I’m thankful every single day that I stumbled upon him last January on the Civil...
