Wow, have I really been MIA for 2 wks? My bad, since I started this summer school class my life as revolved around it pretty much. 
Wake up. Study.Clinical.Study.Class.Study.Quiz.Class.Exam.Eatsleephavenolife.Repeat. 6 wks of this, 2 officially down 4 to go. I wanted this class so I have to go hard or it will be a waste of time and money..... and I'm about my money, honey.

ANYWHO!

I recently celebrated my 24th birthday and I must say the day was truly a blast! I got to be the big birthday kid I wanted to be lol My friends took me to this place called "Main Event" and we definitely DID NOT act our age! Between the gravity ropes and the laser tag, I can't tell you which one was the most exhilarating to experience...... Really had a great time, and the best part is that I spent my birthday with friends who wanted to have the same type of fun as me! Glad I have found great people to call friends.

I always get asked how it feels to be the age that I am and I usually just shrug my shoulders and say "I don't know the same I guess." Honestly, these 20's I have experienced haven't really felt any different to my physically.....well around 22 I did start gaining weight lol but other than that there has been no major physical change that I can see. As far as mentally/emotionally though I do feel wiser than I was at the beginning of my previous year. It's like I always take with me a lesson or two from the year before and that helps to further build my character and mold me into the woman I was destined to be!

I just thank God for blessing me with a successful year so far in 2013 and I pray that this 24th year of life is full of blessings as well!

My strange jealousy

A few of my friends are pregnant right now, which is the beginning of such an exciting and beautiful time in their lives. As a friend it's my JOB to be overly excited for them and ask lots of questions and listen to their concerns and hope and aspirations for the unborn child.......So why was I instead strangely jealous of them?

Much needed break

I have been thoroughly enjoying this mini-break I'm on!! I had my finals the earlier part of this week and my next class doesn't start until next Wednesday, which has gives me about 5-6 days of free time to do whatever lol. And the timing was perfect because Lewis got his week off the day I finished my final and goes back to work the day I start school, which means that we get to spend some much needed time together without me having to worry about school or work..... YASSSS :)

Today we got together with some of our coupled up friends from church and had lunch at this really nice shopping center/mall and then just sort of hung out, sight seeing and enjoying the pretty weather. It was nice to hang out with other couples, and also nicer for me cause I hadn't really gotten to experience the couple date before. For making good grades in my classes, Lewis let me pick out any pair of shoes I wanted so I got some Jessica Simpson heels..... This is the start of a beautiful relationship..... I'm already in love with the shoes!

Lewis and I are trying to get the most out of out week together: we recently picked out our wedding rings, plan to sit down and make a semi-final guest list, going to get him fixed for his tuxedo....and lay around be lazy together..... He wanted me to know that I was supposed to give him all my attention while he was home. lol such a man baby.

Now more than ever am I trying to get more girlier...... After being called "basic" by my friend while shopping I became fully aware of how, for lack of a better word, BASIC I really was in a fashion sense. I tend to gravitate more towards comfortable, generic style clothing and I really want to get away from that..... I just don't know how! So I am slowly working towards finding my own little style and building on it. Pray for me lol......


We've had a pretty great day, and now Lewis is out with his friend for a while so I guess I'll get dinner going and just chill out for the rest of the evening......

Good day folks!

Just some ramblings

First off I hope everybody is finishing out a great weekend!!

I personally had a very good one; Some of my in-laws decided to come to town to visit me!! You guys just don't know how grateful I was to be spending time with some familiar faces.... and the best part was that THEY CAME TO SEE ME!!!!!! I guess all that silent whining and complaining I'd done in the past didn't go in vain lol. I showed them the high spots of the city and took them to the tourist areas where we had lots and lots of fun; I think they enjoyed being here as much as I did them :)

But the fun don't stop there!! Mi Madre is flying in from out of state tomorrow to spend the entire week with her best girl [me]!! I'm excited for her to see me in my new environment. As an engaged woman.  The last time my mom laid eyes on me in the state of Texas was 3yrs ago right after I moved into my first apartment... she helped me pick out my first furniture pieces. I got all sorts of things lined up for us to do while she is here... but the best part, hands down, is the wedding gown shopping..... I.CAN'T. WAIT.

Lewis also comes home in a few days. He's a little down that he couldn't be home to see and spend time with his sister that came over the weekend, and even more down that his mom won't be able to come and visit/ meet my mom while she's in town. Poor babes. I'm going to make sure that we do stuff to lift his spirits too... even if it's something small like a home cooked meal.

Oh and last but certainly not least..... I got me a protective style for the summer: individual braids. Yes, I had been talking them up for about a month or so and I finally took the plunge and spent the time AND money to get them done! I must say this is money well spent! I am in absolute love with my braids and they fit me sooo well! I think I can easily keep them up for about 2 months or at least the end of the summer.....  The only tweek I'll be making to my regimen is the amount of washing I'll be doing. Instead of washing every Sunday and Wednesday it will be every 2wks. Can you believe I found the lady that did them on Craigslist? I am not going to front I search A LOT of stuff on craigslist [it's actually how I found a hairstylist when I first moved to SA] and though at first I was skeptical, I'm glad I went forward with it. The first girl I was going to let do them from craigslist was giving me this SUPER WEIRD vibe; and this chick had the nerve to tell me that she was going to do my hair on the back porch of her BF's seemingly abandoned house....
Wait, what did you just say?
........in San Antonio weather?
HELL NAW!

I had to go, there was no way..... and I mean NO WAY I was going to sit out in 95 degree weather willingly for 5-7 hrs getting my hair done. Just wasn't happenin'.

But anywhos, here is what the braids look like:

Fly right???

Tooodles :)

Mind Right Monday!!

It's another week folks! Time to "get up off of that thang, and dance til you feel better"
......okay, not really.

I had a great time out of town with my friends!! We laughed, argued, disagreed, danced, made inside jokes and barely slept lol

I hope we can link up again before the year is up.... like the summer time, and out here so I can show everybody around and do stuff that I can't do with Lewis- you know, like pedicures and trying on clothes WITHOUT buying them :) We'll see though!


I want to change up my Mind right Monday stuff...... instead of like posting what I got going for the week I am going to put up some inspirational stuff you know, to get ya mind right for the week! Let me know if you are feeling it, totally hate it, or have suggestions on it....... Here goes:


Mind right Monday: "Appreciate the people in ya life that mean you well...... there ain't a price you can put on that person that knows just what to say when you need to hear it the most!"..... Get ya mind right.

Hope ya'll have an excellent week!!
