Wow I Suck

So I just noticed how bad I have been sucking at my blogging lately but I have just been busy trying to get things into motion. I was in Denver for a little over a week and then in Georgia for about 4 days so here I am back in lonely Iowa. :(

My classes has been going well...well I should say class. My second one doesn't start until April 6th. This week I have to work most of it but Saturday is my friend Amanda's cousins wedding so hopefully I can go over there after I work on Saturday and then Jack Jack's Baptism is on Sunday. Now, I hate going to church and anything that has to do with God but for my lil Jack I will do it. Then they are having a party thing afterwards. It should be a good time.

Today I have to work until 10PM but thats good so I will hopefully get some homework done. They expect you do to 3 chapters a week and each of those chapters are about 40 pages long plus a test at the end. FML! Oh well, I will be closer to getting my degree so that's good. After work I am going to my neighbors to play cards and hangout...our Sunday/Tuesday night tradition. I was just thinking I have not baked anything in a LONG time. I might have to do something about that pretty soon here but I will have to go do some serious grocery shopping first. I have nothing in my fridge!

Oh did I mention that all the feelings I had for Rick before I met him are still there and probably even more after meeting him :) He is such a sweetheart and a gentleman. I can't get over how big of a difference it is from Iowa to the south. The guys are sooo much better there. We may truely be the successful online dating relationship. lol. Sounds so weird to say. More updates later.

Back from Georgia

Ah...so I am back from Georgia to meet Rick and I am still alive. Super excited about that I am sure you all are.

I flew out on Thursday morning and had three stops on the way there. It was really sucky but I was so excited I didn't really notice. I flew from Moline to Chicago then Chicago to Charlotte and finally Charlotte to Augusta. Once I landed in Augusta, two of Rick's friends came and picked me up from the airport since Rick was at this training thing. So they were really nice and we chatted a bit and they dropped me off at my hotel where I waited for Josh (my aunts friend) to come hangout. He drove from Atlanta to come see me...3 hours...what a sweetheart.

We went to get some dinner and drove around Augusta. We tried to go bowling but it was league night and no one would let us on their team :( So we got icecream instead. It was great I got a free scoop because I told him I drove all the way from Iowa just for Baskin Robbins. Not exactly true but eh...you do what you gotta do. Went to bed and got up and went to a resturant for lunch and looked at some houses on the river. They were beautiful! Finally went back to the hotel to get ready and I wanted to puke I was so nervous.

Rick got to the hotel at about 3:30 after sneaking out of his training thing and showering. Josh met him and then left to go back home so Rick and I just talked and got to know each other a little bit and went to eat. We went to Hooters, then to his military base, and finally to this resturant for dessert. Fried cheesecake...it was delicious! Then we went back to the hotel and passed out.

Next morning, we got up and got ready to head to S. Carolina to visit his family. We picked up his friend Justin to come with us to get Rick's car and drove the almost 3 hours there. Once we arrived we went to his parents house to see if Logan wanted to go to dinner with us but he didn't want to so we went to this place called Yokosos or something. (One of those Japanese places where they cook the food in front of you.) I actually tried and liked the shrimp and some veggies! After that we visited some of his friends at their houses and ended up at a couple parties with some beer and wine. It was a lot of fun and all his friends are super nice and funny.

The last day we got up and picked up his youngest son, Ethan, and went to the harbor. We ate at California Dreaming...beautiful resturant with views of the river and great food. Then we went downtown Charleston and went through the market and bought somethings. Ended up going on a speed boat with 25 kn. winds blowing and 3ft. waves. It was a lot of fun but ended up getting drenched and very salty. Went back to his parents for dinner and Logan taught me how to play Rock Band...which is pretty fun but I stink at it. Ethan sang the songs, I did drums and Logan played the guitar. We were a great band haha. Drove back to Georgia and went to bed for about 4 hours until we got up so he could take me to the airport to leave. :(

It was a great trip and sorry for all the detail...Lauren wanted it. lol. I am very sad to have to come back but excited to see him again. He ended up getting transferred to Colorado...yipee!!! So hopefully once he gets there he will be able to get some time for leave and come to Iowa to see me and meet the family and such. I can't wait to move to Colorado...just one more reason why my life is actually going good lately!

5 Days

So a lot of new things have been going on in my life lately that I am pretty excited about. I just got back from Colorado and I love it there. I can't wait to move. I just started my classes through Scott and I have my homework done a day early! Whoo..thats a good thing for me atleast! I haven't been in class in awhile so it will get some getting used to.

So I am going to Georgia on this coming Thursday and I am so excited about it. I am going there to hang out with this new guy I have been talking to. His name is Rick and he is in the army signal unit. He is white too! I know that is a big deal ...not my usual but he is amazing. We talk everyday...use webcam, instant messanger, and phone. My feelings for him are really strong already so I can't wait to get down there.

I was supposed to be having a St. Patrick's Party tonight but turns out people have other plans so we are just going to cancel it. Anyway...that's about it.

I'm BACK!

Wow, so it has been awhile since I last posted! I got back from Colorado a few days ago and it was amazing. We went shopping (of course-that's what we do) and dancing. A couple family dinners with Chandas roommate Keri and friend Josh. It was awesome. Got my toes done and they look great and got a couple new adoreable shirts to wear. I hardly ever go out around here so I will have to force myself to get cute and do something.

We didn't get back from Chicago on friday until like 3AM because we stopped by my mom's friends house in Yorkville and ended up being there for 2 hours...plus we ate at TGI Friday's! Yum. I met a lot of awesome DJ's and people in general in Denver and I can't wait to move there in the Spring of next year.

Chanda is opening her own salon called, Breathe---it is going to be beautiful! WIth lots of ocean blues and greens and I can't wait to go there and get a facial or something.

I found some new songs I love so I will list them on here for you all

1) Yes by Tynisha Keli

2) Shattered by Tynisha Keli

3) Kiss me through the phone by Souja Boy

There are some others but I can't think of them right now. Well I love you all and I can't wait for the St. Patricks Day party this Saturday so you all better be there!

Loves!

Sorry in Advance

Hello all, just a side note that if I seem irritable or moody more so than usual I am feeling that way so it is not just you. I think I know why it is but I am hoping I do not have to do medicine. I don't want to be around anyone it seems and people get on my nerves sooo easily. I hope it gets better on its own.

On a happier note: I am headed to Colorado on Friday! Yipee! I have to clean for mom on Wednesday and Thursday though so she will drive me there and back. It will be worth it and I don't mind cleaning that much. As long as she doesn't get too bossy lol.

Well there is one thing that is making me happier than usual but most of you already know what that is :D I hope everything turns out as good as they seem to be going.

Oh and I found an old song that I have never heard so it is new to me. Its called Together by Neyo. "I want to be the love thats gonna last and be the one thats got your back. Girl its clear you and I are meant to be...We should be together eternally."

Loves
