Things From Today: January 10, TWO THOUSAND TWELVE!

I absolutely love that it is 2012. I don't feel like this needs any explanation, but I've been waiting fourteen months to say "he comes home THIS year." And he does.

But that's all off topic.

Today was my first day of school for the spring semester. AND it was great! Really great actually.

Perhaps one of the best things about my new schedule is that I start class at 8:30 and finish by 2:15...Which means I'm home by 3, instead of 8:30 like last semester! It's so nice to still have the afternoon to do homework or be lazy (more often the latter). It feels like a normal school day again and I love it. As great as it was to start class at 11:30, it just was not practical for me or my schedule. Guess it takes a semester to learn the tricks.

My classes are really great as well. I have extra credit opportunities in all but one and (seemingly) great professors. My international relations political science class is full of poly sci majors and true debaters. My kind of people. It is going to be a great class. My professor is from some Asian country (I couldn't understand where he said he was from...but I got that he was Asian. Hopefully I'll be able to understand him better soon!) and worked for the US government in D.C. He's legit. I am so excited. Surprisingly, the other class I am stoked about is Ethics and Values...a required philosophy class. How did I know it would be a great class? Before we started my professor turned on Fox news. (Secretly informing us that he is a conservative. A nice change in an overly liberal college atmosphere.) Then we learned that we would be required to watch 1 1/2 hours of commentary each week. (Hello meet the press and Bill O'Reily) Then he made fun of the ridiculous occupy wall street movement and participants. He is my kind of guy. I can't wait for class discussions and our projects. I am so excited for his class.

Call me a nerd...but school was great today and I have a great feeling that this will be a fantastic semester.

Good Morning

Nothing says good morning like an hour and fifteen minutes of P90X.
I may die from being so sore, but that means it's working.

And I love it.

Friday Night...MG Style

Friday night...date night. No worries here though. I had one of the best friday nights I've had...in a while.

I spent my night transforming these....

into THESE!! You know what would be cool? If I had a little apt. to put all this cute stuff I make.

Soon :) 

I also spent the night in a blanket, with my healthy version of fried rice and these guys

I am totally addicted. Hot texas football players and high school drama. Who wouldn't love it?

Five episodes in one night? No biggie. I'm thinking it's time for round six.

And just so you all don't think I'm a complete loser...In that package from cam yesterday (the one that had the SD card) I also got my pillow case back with some cutesy stuff from my mish. After receiving his "52 reasons I love you" gift he felt he had to out do me.

yes...he wrote 53 reasons he loves me on this pillow case. And other cute stuff. I cried when I read them, no worries. I am not a complete loser, that boy, across the country, loves me more than I even know. I am so blessed. 

Happy friday ya'll.

The Best Idea I Ever Had

I don't know why it took me fourteen months. Honestly. But I guess that's the thing about waiting...I've never done it before and I've never known anyone well enough who's done it to get their secrets. But I'm begining to get creative. For Christmas, I sent Cam a little video camera with seven videos of me in my day to day life. Originally I thought we could just send the camera back and forth. Then I got really smart and bought him an SD card so he could send me videos and I could just watch them on my laptop. Today I got that SD in the mail. BEST. DAY. EVER. Truly, it is one of the best days I've had since he left. TWO videos and a handful of pictures. I haven't seen that boy talk in fourteen months...today I saw him talking to me and telling me he loves me. It's not something anyone can appriciate except me...and that's okay. I love him. We are so close to being together again and it is on days like this that I truly understand why we have to be apart and how blessed we are. I love my cam man...

Here is a taste of what I got today :)

Everybody loves Cam. Really, they do.

Ugly ties anyone?

Salisbury!

He's such a stud

That ugly sweater won't die



OH and P.S. I've lost 6 pounds. Holla! I've still got so much to go, but i'll take that. Swimsuit season...I'll be ready :)

If Only In My Dreams

It was nice to see you last night. It's been a while. I love being able to spend time with you, if only for a few hours and although I can only remember bits and pieces. It is nice. I got excited last night when we were buying funiture for our newly wed apt. It's okay that we were poor (and will be), it was still so fun to have you by my side again. I made it a resolution to sleep more. Secretly, part of it is so you can visit me more often. The longer I sleep, the longer you stay. You held my hand last night and we bought a bed. I can't wait to wake up each morning next to my best friend. Instead, I woke up today sad it was over and longing to go back to you. Is it bad that sometimes I enjoy my dreams more than real life? I can't wait until that trend is reversed. I love you cam. I'm going to bed now, I'll see you soon.

Change #1

Yes...I dyed my hair. It's dark brown and rather dramatic. It was on a whim and I like it.

I am aware that some do not enjoy this look as much as I do. That's too bad. It's my hair, get over it and keep your comments to yourself. I never tell you when I don't like your hair, so let's be even. 

It's a new year and I needed a change. There will be more to follow I promise. But here's change #1.

And here's to a new year full of change. 

Resolutions

go ahead and judge me all you want.

this is something I have to do.

for me.

next time I am on a beach...I will be wearing a little number similar to this.

as for now...I will be sweating, dieting, and drinking more water than I should.

this is going to happen.
