Where does the time go? seriously?

I'm not even going to apologize for my absence or promise to become a regular blogger again, mainly because I am lazy and disappointed in myself. I am disappointed because so many amazing things have happened since I wrote last and my laziness got in the way of sharing them. I'm going to do a quick recap of the high points just so I can feel a little better and then maybe start blogging again (that was not a promise). The main reason I finally got around to doing this again is because Jimmy just asked me to go skydiving with him and his med school peeps and I want to try to get some readers back before that time comes so I can share my extreme range of emotions I have about it. a few words that come to mind are terror, horror and splat. but we will get to that later. 

sigh here we go..

since I wrote last:

My great-grandma turned 89

Jimmy became a college graduate. 

I made a bag. 

Jimmy's little brother Josh graduated high school and joined me at A&M and joined the corps. 

I got to spend my third summer being Matthew and Leah's "nanny"

I went on a Caribbean cruise with Jimmy's extended family and hundreds of other crazy Cajuns. (we left out of New Orleans)

had one last hangout before med and dental school started and the real world hit.

 

 

Jimmy became a second a Second Lieutenant in the Air Force

Jimmy got his white coat and started med school at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston

 

My brother Austin transferred to Texas State.  

(no pictures of him in State stuff yet)

had the BEST weekend.. I got my Fightin' Texas Aggie Ring. WHOOP!! had my second annual 21st birthday (I refuse to acknowledge that I am 22. that's practically 100)  and tailgated with the best family and friends.  

 holy cow. are you still with me? I'm sorry that was sooooo long but once I started there was no turning back.

so there you have it.. everything you have missed in the past 5 months. its really good to be back and I can't wait to catch up on what everyone else in the blog world has been doing.

Home Sweet Home

Who knew bordem could be so enjoyable? I've been doing nothing, and its been amazing. Other than sitting around, Mom and I have been shopping, almost every day since I've been home. My favorite past time.

I started p90x today. Surprisingly, I'm still breathing. If you haven't heard about this workout look it up. Its like the most extreme thing around. I'll keep you posted on how it goes, if I'm still alive that is.

Last night was fun, I hung out with Brooke and Ryan, and my long lost name twin, Jessica Bell. Actually, I really only hung out with Jessica and Greg's chocolate lab, Casey. We're best friends, and we had like a 50 picture photo shoot. Here are a few pictures from the get together. enjoy.

TWO DAYS!!

It seems like an eternity but in just two days I will be going home to my big house & comfy bed, good food and family, I will be starting my job again and laying out, and actually sleeping. I am so so so ready for a break from school. If I didn't like shopping so much, I'd drop out and become a bum. A beach bum wouldn't be too bad though. That's what I'll do.. go live on some beach, and make money selling sea shell necklaces. Although, nowadays I'd probably even need a business degree to do that.

Going home this weekend made my homesickness like 100 times worse. I only had to come back for 3 days but I threw a big fit like a 5 year old about having to go back. Don't get me wrong, I love living in College Station and being "on my own" but I just want to be home.

I went to dinner with Brooke on Friday and we started talking about how sad it is that our families go on living there lives even though we're not there. I know, we're really mature. I wasn't planning on going home because I had a final at 8 this morning. But on the way back from dinner I realized that I don't really care enough about school to miss Mother's days. So Jimmy and I drove home to surprise our moms. I didn't get home till after midnight and mom was really surprised!!

On Saturday, Jimmy and I sat outside and studied, it was perfect weather. Then I went shopping with my Daddy-O to get stuff for the big Mother's day bash. Saturday night we all sat outside and talked, it was really relaxing. Everyone came over on Sunday to celebrate. I knew I missed everyone but I didn't realize how much until after I saw them.

I guess I better go study.. for the one thing standing in the way of my beautiful summer. (said with the most resentment possible)
