Engaged!!

My fiancé planned a surprise trip to Cabo, and proposed to be there on the beach of the Sea of Cortez! So excited to begin planning and booking. 

Finally finished...

Today is officially Friday of finals week, but I completed everything with school a week ago. It feels awesome!!! No more homework, papers, projects, midterms, finals.... It's surreal.

My best friend Kelsey just got engaged yesterday!!! I'm so happy for her!!! Her ring is beautiful!!!

We leave in 3 days for Seattle to tour some apartments... We move in like 100 days or so!!! Yay!!!

Almost to the finish line!

3 classes, 1 paper, 1 project, and 1 online test till I am complete! It's been feeling good but I don't have my motivation to complete it all haha.

My aunt Karrie has not been feeling well and the doctors think it might be throat cancer... We don't know for sure yet. I am so stressed out about it. She has always been like my second mom and my favorite aunt, as well as my godmother. I don't know how to make it through life without her because she is the one I always go to talk to. I will update about it but please if anyone is reading this, pray that it's not the case! I hope God can heal her no matter what it is.

Inspiration

I met a woman who told a life story of herself when she grew up in Inglewood, CA. She was surrounded and protected by a gang in her neighborhood, she lived in poverty her whole life, had a baby right after high school, was a single mom before moving to Oregon. She inspired me with everything she accomplished and went through. I was very touched by her story!

Shredding the gnar!

I went snowboarding for the first time a couple days ago... And it was so much fun!!! I just want to be up there 24/7 now!!! I'm so glad I enjoyed it because its Matt's second favorite thing in the world (I'm first) and we can do it together!! Haha I am so sore but I don't event care. I found a new hobby/sport/love even though I suck right now!

Late night thoughts...

I remember when I was very young I tried so hard to please everybody. Whether I knew them well or not. I wanted to be helpful, kind, and liked. I remember having to deal with and avoiding the snobby teenage girls through grade school and most of high school. Thankfully I found people with so much goodness in their hearts, like me. I tried to be friends with anyone and everyone, but was turned down by many. People with too much pride. Now that I am older, almost done with college, and about to move out of state, I realize that I can still be that friendly face and helping hand whenever someone is in need and I hope to raise my children that way. I can tell my parents they were successful... I was taught right from wrong, good from bad, and to be kind to everyone. I have had my crude moments but I am only human. Those people's loss for not believing that I could be that good friend and honest person who is very trustworthy. No, I am not higher than anyone, I just have a big heart with a lot to give.

3rd Blog, 1st Post

Yes, I have two other blogs but life kept catching up on me. Hopefully the same doesn't happen this time. 

I have been thinking a lot about my future lately. Since this is my last term of school, the easiest (so easy I skipped class all week). I have all the time in the world to plan and think about my future. I am about to graduate with, sadly, just an associates degree. But it's something I love -- Child and Family Studies. Thank goodness I have a job to go to already! I cannot wait to move back up to the Seattle area. My boyfriend Matt and I lived up there summer of 2012 and had the time of our lives. It's about to get 10x better. We've been talking about marriage, a life together, kids, we've even planned our entire monthly budget. We will be celebrating 6 years together May 18th this year. It seems like it's been an entire lifetime. I don't really remember life before us. It was hard going from living together for 4 months to moving back in with our roommates (don't get me wrong, I love my Big D and HBO). What has REALLY been on my mind is a wedding. I'm not engaged (yet) but I have so many big plans and ideas for a wedding! I can't wait to officially start planning it. Don't worry, I will be talking about it all on here! I love Matt with everything in me and cannot wait to spend my life with him. <3
