The past few years have been a little bit rough between me and my mom- as most teenage/college daughters can relate to.  But no matter what happened I know that she will always be there for me, which is such a huge blessing to have in my life.  Whether it's been a middle of the night shoulder to cry on from 500 miles away when family situations and a few choice people get to me, or as wise and surprisingly (lol) levelheaded advice about navigating through the dating world, my madre has always put her children first, no questions asked.  We're the first to know when things are going on with her life, and she literally cries of happiness when she's the one we come to with our lives.  

Even when she talks for long after I say, "Gotta go! Talk to you later," takes literally 10 minutes to take each picture for my blog, or asks me ten times too many if her wrinkles/fat(???)/age spots are noticeable (Mom, they never are.  You are absolutely beautiful)  I love her so much and would not change anything at all... ok, maybe it would be nice to up it to 2 or 3 pictures per 10 minutes ;)  

I know not everyone out there is as lucky as I am to have a wonderful mother;  and I hope everyone with amazing mothers realizes that too and is thankful for their moms- today and everyday!

P.S.  Mom, as of right now, Whiskey for my men; beer for my horses is on :)

Hello Summer!

Wow.  I never intended to take that long off blogging.  But it did pay off- I made As in every class except my hardest one, and I still made a pretty good grade in there too :)

I hope everyone's summer is getting off to a good start.  I get to start my 2 internships as soon as I get my wisdom teeth out (ughhhhhhh.) Until then, I'm just getting some unpacking done and finishing up some random loose ends.  Here's to getting back to regular blogging again!

Forgive me for the super short posts lately.  I feel like I'm completely blank every time I sit down to blog.  But thankfully I will officially be done with the semester in less than a week!  Unfortunately that means it's getting ready to be finals time (Monday and Tuesday for me....)  On top of that, one of my professors thought it was cool to assign us a 25 page group paper and 30 minute presentation.  Great timing professor, great timing.  Luckily it hasn't been too bad though and my group seems to be chuggin' right through it.

Alright, here's to the home stretch!

Today was one of those days.  I had a late start, no class until 10- so I decided to lay in bed until 9:20, knowing that I had multiple pre-planned outfits in my closet.  What I didn't account for though, was that I had not actually tried any of these combinations on before.  So after 3 or 4 failed attempts, I went for the dress.  I've had this thing for at least 4 years, and it's seriously been one of the most wearable pieces I've ever bought.  Paired with these new wedges (which I've worn for three days straight)  and my mom's old purse, I felt pretty ok.  Here's hoping tomorrow's outfit goes a little smoother... and I don't get caught in any more rainstorms.

Goodness I apologize for that break of blogging.  Again, I honestly didn't mean to.  It just kinda happened...  But anyways, I hope you all had a wonderful easter (I'll post pictures of mine tomorrow!) I just finished the drive from Knoxville to Pittsburgh and I'm a bit dead at the moment, so I'm going to make this post short and sweet.

Goodnight all :)
