Thanks to Ant, I'm now addicted to this song!

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

Summaaaa time and the livin's NOT easy
Well I might be a little over dramatic with the title considering I do have it pretty easy living with my parents and getting everything handed to me...well not everything but you get the gist. I guess what I'm getting at is the question I'm asking most at this moment "I THOUGHT THIS WAS SUMMER?!" It seems like all I do now is consume my life with work and school and nothing else! These 7 am classes and dreadfully long days at work not only take up all of my time but cause me to want to do nothing but sleep! All I see on facebook are all of my peers having loads of fun and living their life to the fullest it seems like! Being an "adult" can defintely suck at times. Too many responsbilities and definitely not enough time to be young and have fun!
This ultimately leads me to another thought I've been thinking about lately "WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE?!" It seems like only yesterday I was in high school, cheering at football games, going to parties with my friends, taking road trips and all that, what I'd call now, luxury. My cheerleading days are over, no time to party, and I have limited vacations due to work :( You never realize when you're young how good you have it or how lucky you are to not have to worry about the things we worry about now. I'm now a sophmore in college and I can't believe it! Life moves so unbelieveably fast it often leaves me dumbfounded. It's even a little scary (yet exciting) to think that I'll be graduating college in the next 2-3 years then after that I'll be starting my career, getting married, starting a family, and creating a whole new life for myself.
Maybe all this work and no play will all pay off in the end? Who knows! I've learned that I should take life a day at time. There is no time to get angry or frustrated at the ones you love, no need to rush relationships, and try to enjoy the time left I have as a young woman. My future will unfold itself and who knows what it may bring but all I can say is that I'm so terrified yet excited to see what it has in store for me!

Losing yourself in love
Relationships are tough. No one ever said that they were easy. No one ever said that things would be perfect and if you honestly believe that they will be, then you have a rude awakening headed your way. I'm not saying that a relationship can't feel perfect or that you'll never be head over heels in love forever, but things like this take time, patience, and most of all personal effort from both people in the relationship.
I fell in love. Deep in love. No it wasn't puppy love or whatever you want to call it. I'm still deep in love but I'm at the, what it feels like, rock bottom part of the relationship. Everyone must have these times right? The time where you feel like you're not meeting eye to eye and the littlest things can set you off? I'm genuinely a nice girl with established morals and values. I don't let petty things get the best of me...
I've found myself now doing the complete opposite. I get impatient and frustrated with the dumbest things. When I say dumb I mean DUMB. I've become bitter and selfish. Who is this girl? This is NOT Olivia. I don't like this girl that I've become. With all of the constant arguing and bickering back and forth I can honestly say that I'm losing my best friend and the love of my life.
I've been trying everything I can possibly do to fix this...I don't like being this way. Trust me, I don't. I catch my self rolling my eyes, or getting in a bad mood over something not worth it almost immediately after I do it. I try and apologize over and over, but sorry starts to lose it's meaning after it's said a thousand times. I love him so much and I want to go back to being the girl he fell in love with. The nice girl who always had a smile on her face. The girl who would enjoy every single second she was with him...
Although I do know that I need to fix myself, I ultimately need help from the one I love. I need for him to understand that I am trying to change and be different. I need for him to give me the chance to show him that I can do this. A chance to prove myself and show him that I'm not this girl and that I can make him happy like I once did. Let's put the past behind us and start a new beginning. I know we can do this. I need for him to stop holding grudges over my head and live for today. It's not healthy for him to throw all my mistakes in my face whenever he's upset with me. It's just not fair. It's not right when you verbally abuse me either. It seems like every time I do something to piss you off, you tear me down with words. That's not the old you either. That's not the guy I fell in love with. It's not always just me, believe it or not. It takes two to tango. I am willing to man up to my problems and swallow my pride to make things right. (Not saying that you don't)...I'm young, and I make mistakes. Everyone does...but we need these mistakes to learn from and put towards our future.
I need to find the old Olivia. I don't like who I've become and I don't like the way I've treated him. I can honestly say that's not me. That's not the person I really am. For now, I'm just going to have to work on myself and get back to the way I used to be. I've completely lost myself, and that's not fair to him. If it's meant to be, we'll find our way to each other again. If not, then I know now that I can't ever let myself get like this. I won't let myself get like this.

Hardest goodbye
I just got done saying goodbye to Anthony. This has been by far the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I just wanted to hug him and never let go. My best friend is leaving me and I feel so clueless and don't know what to do without him. I definitely made sure those last few moments with him were the best I could make them. Even though San Antonio is not too far away, it feels as if he's moving to another state! I am just being the biggest baby right now and can not stop balling my eyes out. If you only knew how close I am with him and his family then you would know how much this is effecting me. I am at a loss for words right now....I'm going to miss him so much!
