"The truth, the lies, the joy, the cries, the lust, the pain, and all that is gained…as the fog of gunfire clears and the rain disappears…I see a sliver of light, soft lips and heart beating against mine. Once again I find…Love after war"

Hectic and Broke
So these next 2 weeks are not only going to be hectic but completely wipe out my bank account. Here's why...
Tonight I have work from 4-11 and I already know it's going to be crazy busy because of the Ranger game! Holy moly!
Tomorrow I have to present 2 papers and a how-to speech for my midterms. Wish me luck! Then later that night I have to go back to work from 4-10 and hopefully the Rangers will win the World Series that way I won't have to work another crazy night!
Friday is lobster night at the country club and not only is it our busiest night of the month but super messy and gross with lobster fillings everywhere! Yuck!
Saturday is my moms best friend's wedding which starts at 3 and lasts till the late hours of the night and since my mom is a bridesmaid, I have to be on baby patrol and watch the little ones which will be nothing short of madness because Ava is in her terrible two's and Allie...well she's 4 but somehow is still in her terrible two's.
Sunday, ahhh sunday! Finally a day to relax with no school or work to worry about! I have to find a Princess Jasmine costume to go trick or treating in with my baby sisters (They wanted me to be Jasmine and Anthony to be Alaaddin, but it'll just be me this halloween). This will probably be around $40?
Monday is HALLOWEEN! Yay for fun games and getting butt loads of candy that I don't need! It's so fun to dress up with the babies though and seeing them get so excited! It's fun :)
Tuesday means back to school, finishing up midterms and work! WOMP :(
Wednesday is here! Finally time to pack for my trip to San Antonio and then later go to work obvi.
Thursday, November 3rd, is me and Anthony's 2 year anniversary! Time to rush through school and head on down to San Antonio to celebrate with my love!
Friday, just another day to relax and spend with my sweetheart and get ready for the next day which leads me to....
Saturday! Cherie's Bachelorette Party! She's having it in Austin and we're all staying in a condo on 6th! Since I'll already be in SA i'll just drive down and scoop up my cousin Madison form San Marcos and then party party party all day! This is her last fling before the ring! So glad all my cousins are going to be there! My best friends! That should be a night to remember!
Sunday will most likely be hell driving back to SA. As soon as I get back to Anthony's I'm headed straight for the bed, couch, whatever's closest and comfy and taking a nap! Then later that night I'll go watch Anthony's softball game!
Monday I'll make my way back to the Big D and get ready for another crazy week ahead!
Tuesday and Wednesday, will be consisted of nothing but school and work. Fun...
Thursday is Cherie's rehearsal dinner and the night before her big day! Again, I can't believe the first cousin is getting married. If anyone knows our family, you know it's a big deal. We're all growing up! Weird!
Friday is the big day! Cherie's wedding! Nothing but getting pampered with our hair and makeup appointments and toasting to the bride to be!
Saturday my family and I are taking our annual family pictures. I love these but after a wedding and partying, it might be dreadful.
Sunday funday! A day full of laundry, naps, and football.
So if I don't write a lot in the next few weeks you know why! Hope everyone has a great rest of the week! It's hump day! Almost done!

Better run, better run, outrun my gun
Oh my lanta! Just had one of the best runs in a while. You know, those runs when your stamina is out the roof and you can run miles and miles? Yeah, that was me today! Later I'm going to do another mini workout in my room. I'm so determined right now!
Today for breakfast I ate a small (and when I say small I mean small) bowl of chorizo. Yum! Then for lunch I just had some green tea and fruit (I wasn't that hungry). Then before I head to work tonight I'll have my meal supplement shake for my dinner! They're actually really tasty!
I've been crazy busy with midterms, work, and all this wedding madness that I haven't had any time to workout or run lately. I'm changing that though! I need to get back into my good eating habits! Yay for getting healthy and FIT!

operation get fit
I'm so off an on when it comes to dieting and working out. I need to maintain a steady diet and work out plan. I'm not saying I want to lose like 30 pounds or anything drastic liked that, just wanting to slim down and get fit! I currently weighed myself and I'm at 125 lb.'s. My goal will be to slim down my inner and outer thighs a little and to tone my stomach and legs. Well...that's pretty much everything right? I'm going to try to keep track of what I eat daily and the different workouts I do. So why waste any more time? Let's get started!
Breakfast: 5-6 Ritz crackers (I was in a rush)
Lunch: Meal supplement shake
Workout: Ran 1.5 miles, lunges, and did a set of sit ups(30), followed by some deep stretching
I'll be working during dinner so i'll probably squeeze in a salad if I have time!
I hope I start to see some changes soon!

Oh my it's Monday
Can't believe it's Monday already! This past week has flown by so quick! Here's a recap of this past week...
First off, Anthony came to visit me this past Tuesday! Surprise surprise! He had almost a week and a half off from work so he took his time off to come visit and spend time with me. Awww :) I was beyond excited and was anxious all Tuesday morning! I couldn't concentrate in class and couldn't wait till later that night to see him! As soon as I got off of work I rushed over to see him and did the typical run and jump just like you see in the movies cause we're cheesy like that. Then the rest of the night was dedicated to kicking his ass in Kinect Fitness.
The next morning I woke him up bright and early and begged him to go to the fair with me! Of course after I bribed him with food he gave in and said yes :) We had eaten so much that we only lasted about an hour at the fair and then quickly fell into a food coma. After we rested up a little we went to run some errands before the Ranger game that night! While we were out, he bought me a new Ranger shirt to add to my collection! SCORE! Then on our way home we picked up some WingStop and watched our Rangers play STL! It was a pretty good ending to the night.
Thursday I didn't get to see him much since I had school and work all day but it's okay since he got to spend some time with his friends. Same goes for Friday...damn you Hackberry! Then Saturday I woke up bright and early to go to my cousin Natalie's bridal shower which was absolutely flawless! We had guava and champagne mimosas. Talk about yum! Then followed with traditional cuban food and wine. I was drinking and eating my life away! Later that night I met up with Anthony and my other cousins and we all went to my uncle's house to watch the Rangers unfortunately lose :( But overall was a great day!
Dun dun dun...then comes Sunday! The day Anthony leaves to go back to San Antonio! Wahhhh! :( I always cry like a baby every time he leaves. I act like I'm never going to see him again or something lol! After the rough "see you soon" I went home and took a loooonnngggg much needed nap!
Now i'm completely cleaning out my room and getting rid of the things I don't wear, use, or need anymore! I love cleaning everything out! It relieves my stress and makes me feel a lot better! Later I might go running and go do a little shopping with Andie. Yay and nay for mondays!

When it rains I don't mind being lonely
Seriously Texas, your hormones are out of control! Beautiful weather during the day and then crazy thunderstorms at night? Make up your mind!
Today started out frustrating and annoying but turned out to be a good relaxing day. I was supposed to work one of the biggest tournaments at the country club today which obvi means butt loads of tips which would mean that I could have extra money for Ant's anniversary gift so I was super excited to work it! Get this...I get to the club and the fat ugly mexican bartender from upstairs steals my cart! Apparently my boss forgot he told me to come work and told 4 other people to be there as well. Seriously!? So I try and negotiate with him to take the carts at different times so that way we all get some sort of tip share but of course the dumb ass fat wannabe guido didn't give it up. Let's be real now, those golfers don't wanna see a fat guy pulling up and serving them drinks! So after being there for about 45 minutes, I finally just walked out. What a waste of a morning!
I immediately called Anthony and of course he did anything to cheer me up but I was still feeling down. Shortly after being home alone, my sisters walked in from their gymnastics class and of course they wanna show me all their new skills they learned that day! They are too funny! I need to just video them and post it for you guys to see! They're so entertaining! Later I just took a nap then went running which always makes me feel better. I swear it's the best thing to do to get all the stupid shit off your mind.
As for now, Im in bed, watching my shows, enjoying the thunder and chowing down on some cake balls that are NOT on my diet. I have homework I should start on right now but sleep sounds so appealing I might just set an early alarm and do it in the morning. I hope everyone's had a great day! Until tomorrow...

Let's play the catch up game
So I know it's been a while and every time I act like i'm going to get back on track with writing it just does not happen, but i'm going to make it happen starting right NOW!
Let's see what's been going on in my life since I've last updated y'all...well first off let me just say that school, family, the boyfriend and everything else is going well! Doing pretty good in school and leaving off to a university sometime either next summer or fall! I can't wait to finally fully spread my wings and live on my own! I just know that once I leave i'm going to miss the hell out of my parents and especially my baby sisters! What will I do without those little babies!? They brighten up my day always! Thank god for Skype!
Oh Anthony :) This boy is amazing. I am such a lucky girl and I'm super excited that our 2 year anniversary is in 2 weeks! Can't wait to see him and celebrate another exciting year with the love of my life. We've been through so much and are stronger than ever. I definitely got lucky with him. How cool is it to fall in love with your best friend? It's the absolute best! I would def recommend to have a solid friendship with someone before dating. I swear it's what makes our relationship so strong and healthy. I could go on and on about this guy but i'll save save that for another time ;)
Oh and how could I forget!? Cherie's wedding is in less than a month! How crazy! I can't believe the first cousin is getting married. We're all growing up!!! I've been trying to eat super healthy and work out everyday till I pass out so I can look super good in my dress. I don't want to be the frumpy girl walking down the aisle. How embarrassing that would be and not to mention NOT CUTE! We also have Cherie's bridal shower this Saturday at my house and let me just say that my mom has been a cleaning nazi! I hate when we have parties at our house cause there is no resting for anyone! On a brighter note, I'm so happy for Cherie and Cory and hope they have a wonderful life together! This is just the beginning of your journey!
Speaking of Cherie and all of the wedding madness, I have to wake up bright and early to help her with her bridal photo shoot so I better get some shut eye! Until tomorrow my fellow bloggers! GOODNIGHT XOXO
