Lotus Flower Bomb


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

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!
