Whewww.... What a crazy couple of weeks!!! Life is pretty great.
May 9 - Kevin and I celebrated our One year anniversary (over the phone!). Yep, I can't believe it was only a year ago that I got those wonderful pictures developed at wal-mart that showed Kevin asking me out. I'm a very lucky girl to get such a romantic prince charming. I'll get to see him again in a little over a week. Thank goodness he's coming down for memorial weekend. I go a little nutzy without him here.
*bang* - I shot my first gun!!! Thanks to Dale and his friends for taking me out shooting. As a Texas girl, I can now proudly say that I have shot off a gun. I didn't know it could be so much fun. He handgun was a little frightening, but shooting pigeons with the shotgun was a blast. I only actually hit 2 of them, but that's not horrible for a first time. To bad Erica has an amazing shot. She even shot better than some of the boys there. Good luck, Dale!
BLING~BLING - As a 20 year old woman, I got my ears pierced for the first time on Sunday! I know most girls get this done way before they even hit puberty, but I refused as a young girl. I found it to be a barbaric ritual to put holes in your body simply as a decoration (truthfully, a part of me still feels that way), but I got bit by the piercing bug. I decided to get it done in time to show of some banging new earrings for my 21st coming up. Thanks so much to my support group of girl friends who laughed, took pictures, and held my hand as I sat in the chair at Claire's in the mall. It wasn't as bad as I had thought, and I love the look of my new sparkling ears.
Adios, Sentury Park - I moved out of the ghetto-ist place on earth!!! The move was exhausting and ridiculous, but all worth it in the end. I L-O-V-E the new apartment. It's just perfect (with a few flaws!). Right now it's just me and Erica (my common law wife, as I like to call her since we've lived together so long), but soon Elizabeth will be joining our crazy family. Feel free to come by and check it out. We're hoping to have a house-warming party later to where everyone can bring us potted plants and other wired things you bring to a house-warming party.
So it's been a great few weeks... After the anniversary, shooting a gun, getting my ears pierced and living in a real apartment, I feel like a real woman!!!

Party like it's Formal 2005
Okay... so technically Formal was a whole week ago, but I've been too busy with finals to get a chance to write about it!
The great weekend started out with Stacie Appreciation day.... What? you don't know what that is? that's okay, this year is it inaugural debut! Don't believe me, just ask Stacie for the certificate (it's very official). The night was great! Erica, Elizabeth, Stacie, and I proceeded to "appreciate" Stacie with dinner, massages, pedicures, s'more over a candle, chick flich, manicure and the ever appropriate Enya music. The night was a smash hit, and a lot of fun for us girls to get together again!!!
The next afternoon was busy with decorating for formal, eating McD's, and getting my hair done (for only $8, what a steal!). I properly got all gussied up for Brain to come pick me up. I felt really bad that he was taking me to formal, when he had just starting dating Cristie. I tried to talk him out of taking me, but he insisted that it was fine. I opened the door to a brimming Brian. As I lean over to give him a hug, I see a figure in the corner holding a red rose. Kevin flew up from Austin without me knowing to surprise me for Formal. I was so shocked that I feel back on the screen door and said the "s" word (trust me, that's a big deal for me to say!). I was so shocked and happy, I kind of just walked down the stairs numb. The red rose was very appropriate since last formal we were not dating yet, and he brought me a yellow (friendship) rose.
The night was a blast. It meant so much to me just to be held by him while we swirled around the dance floor. The whole world could have dropped away, and it wouldn't have mattered because he was there with me. It was the greatest year anniversary gift that I could have ever asked for. Thanks babe!
Everyone was so beautiful that night, and everything just glimmered. With the Crazy Catholic Cutie picture, I started thinking about how much has changed since my Freshman year! It hit me on the dance floor. Stacie, Erica, Elizabeth, and I were doing the Macarana, and I realized how much these girls have meant to me over the years. We've had so many laughs and tears. They've seen me through my entire college career! I can't wait for another year of memories to accumulate before I graduate.
It was a great evening with the love of my life, and my best friends around me. Thanks to everyone who made the evening just perfect!!!!
