Obnoxious Lovefest.
I’ve been doing some wedding research and I might have caught the bug… So yeah, I might be bragging, but I’m incredibly excited about marrying Daniel. He’s responsible, ridiculous, and tougher than most. He’s my best friend and a near perfect compliment to me. He likes that I’m quirky but keeps me from crossing the…

Miles to Go
“…I’ve got promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep, miles to go before I sleep.” –Robert Frost Well, the truth is that the fast pace of life has hit me all at once. Two weeks ago I was working on finals, then I was packing and cleaning and prepping for graduation/moving most…

Great Gatsby!
Oh, yes. I’m so excited for the Great Gatsby this Christmas. I may ask Daniel to take me to the midnight show since we get to start our own traditions this year! I’m going to have to reread it as I haven’t since I was in high school. Something about the glamour of the roaring…

Never can say goodbye.
Well, that’s it. I’ve moved out of my apartment, loaded down my car with anything & everything that would fit, kissed my new fiancé goodbye, and left College Station for good. Talk about closing one chapter & opening another! A week or so ago I was a relatively carefree college student just trying to graduate.…

Get excited!
Well, it seems I’ve been engaged! Apparently, unbeknownst to me, almost everyone I know was at Daniel’s house all day yesterday preparing for the proposal. There were white roses, candles, streamers, and pictures of Daniel and I from when we were 15-16. I got to his apartment for a fancy dinner with my friends, opened…

Tips for staying on track?
So word on the street is everyone gained 5-35 lbs during their training last summer with ConocoPhillips. They take you out to eat every meal, keep you up late, and exhaust you during the day, leaving rigorous exercise only viable for the extremely dedicated or freakishly energized. In all my exercise/nutrition education, I’ve come across…

Busy day!
Busy day! I started with boot camp this morning at the Gold’s Gym in Bryan. The trainer was super cute… 😉 I was so proud seeing Daniel’s name on the poster! 10 sprints, then 3 rounds of weighted squats, push ups, weighted lunges, pike presses, and alternating leg planks! Finished the day off this evening…

Graduation!
Holy cow. I’m a graduate. Again, nothing feels all that different. In fact, it’s been such a busy weekend that I haven’t had a free minute for it to set in. My whole family came down Friday night and crashed at my apartment (thanks to my wonderful roommates letting us use their rooms!) and my…
