Update

So...I haven't kept up with this, but it was kind of fun to look back and read blogs from a while ago. It's funny how much things change so quickly. For starters, I'm now an official Senior at UCF. It's weird, but I think I already have Senioritis. I am working for Rosen and the CVB doing a marketing resarch project 16 hours a week as my Internship I. I am also a resident assistant. I really like being so busy and having more repsonsibility. Plus, having my own apartment isn't so bad either. I will turn 20 next Monday, yay for not being a teenager anymore.

What else? Oh, I'm helping with the high school girls at church on Wednesday nights. I love it. These girls are so awesome and genuine. I am also on the VP of Communications for the Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association International. Like I said...I'm busy and quite honestly I don't know how I will balance everything in the fall.

Ricky is doing so well. I'm very proud of him. He will have his associate degree in January in culinary arts. I'm glad he has found his passion. I love him so much and love seeing him so happy.

I guess that's about all for now...

BF

Ricky just left...he ended up riding to Orlando for Halloween Horror Nights with his cousin and they had to leave a little earlier than he wanted to.  However, we had such a great time.  We just hung, which is what we do best.  He is my boyfriend, but he's also my best friend.  We have so much fun together.  We saw Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist which was hysterical and we played pool last night with my roomie, Brittany and her boyfriend.  We all sucked, but Ricky was so encouraging and hugged me or kissed me on the cheek when I missed a shot.  I love being around him.  It gets so hard sometimes because neither one of us are phone people and that puts a strain on our relationship sometimes, but we compliment each other so well in person.  I love him and can't wait to go home Thursday to hang out with my BF.

What else can go wrong?

So, I feel like you might as well kick me while I'm down.  Bring it on...Ricky didn't get the Ritz job, and in fact still hasn't found a job.  He got into a car accident while he was job hunting in Orlando on Friday and is now $1,000 further in debt. My computer hard drive crashed and they couldn't do any data transfer, which meant that I lost everything.  My Dad is awesome for buying me the warranty!  And then today I dropped my phone again and the screen took its last bow.  I have to wait until Wednesday to get the replacement (Thanks, Dad for buying insurance).  And thank the Lord for great friends.  Royce helped me calm down and figure out how to take care of it and have them send me another phone.  He also let me borrow a phone so that I can see who's actually calling.  I also couldn't tell if my phone was on or off so now I won't get in trouble in class tomorrow if it goes off.  I'm ok, but man, it feels like nothing else can go wrong. :(  

Update

So I really haven't updated in a long time to say the least.  Well, for starters I started my second year at UCF as a Junior.  So far I'm doing really well and like my classes for the most part.  They aren't exactly classes that I want to take, but I know that they will definitely help me eventually.  

Also, there is a possibility of Ricky moving to Orlando.  He was laid off at Coral Ridge over the summer and has since been looking for a new job.  He still works for the lunch program at WA and has somewhat of an income, but I can still see him get more and more frustrated everyday.  He did however have an interview last Thursday for the Ritz, which is about 2 miles from Rosen.  I can't tell you how badly we both want this change.  Not that we can't handle the long distance, but it would be awesome to be able to see each other everyday.  Please pray for God's will and for Ricky to have a sense of peace about everything.  Well, that pretty much sums up the big stuff in my life right now.  God bless!

Learning to be Content

I have this ridiculous obsession with weddings.  I guess every girl does, but mine has become well, ridiculous.  I find myself looking at facebook pictures of friends' weddings and even their friends' weddings, I can't stop looking a theknot.com, and I love watching reality wedding shows on tv.  But the worst things is that I can't distinguish if I want to be a bride or a wife.  How awful is that?  I know God has been convicting me lately about it and I'm having the worst time guarding my heart.  Every show I watch makes me want a ring even more badly and I know that it is definitely be a while before that even happens...Lord, help me to be content with where I am in life.

Sundays

I love Sundays...I think that they are definitely my favorite day of the week.  Although I went to church on Saturday nights for the majority of my life, I have come accustomed to attending services on Sunday over the past year.  I love going to church and worshipping and then having a day of rest and fun.  This morning I went to church with Royce at New Covenant Baptist Church.  I have never been to a place where I was the only white person in the room but it was eye-opening.  The style of worship was so out of the norm for me but it seemed really genuine.  Sometimes those really zealous churches seem like a crock on tv but everyone was so happy to be at church and they kept thanking God for clothes and food etc...it was such a reminder to thank God for the simplest things in life and that you are not guaranteed tomorrow.  

So I also had "soup, salad, and breadsticks" at one of my favs, Olive Garden.  Then tonight I went to see "Baby Mama" at CityWalk with Josh and Royce.  I don't know when the last time was that I laughed that hard in a movie.  It was just downright hysterical.  So, bottomline...God is good and has blessed me with some awesome experiences and awesome people over the past year.

Never mind

So I just had a great like 36 hours.  I got a ton of school work done yesterday and then got to go to Aquatica for a movie.  Minus some drama, my parents and a few of my favorite peeps watched "Surf's Up" on the beach.  If you haven't seen it, it is a really cute movie and just leaves you feeling good.  Then I spent the night at the Hilton Vacation Club with my parents and had a great time today laying by the pool.  It was so nice out and I really enjoyed being with my Mom and Dad.  Then Britt, my roommate and I went to help my Dad pack up an office and we made out like bandits with office supplies.  It was awesome!!!  Then we went to Tijuana Flatts.  I expected this weekend to be kind of pointless but I guess I was wrong.  I think I realized that I missed my parents even though it has only been a few days since semester break.  Oh well, I think that's a good sign that I can totally survive on my own but I still really love being around my family.  I guess that's my epiphany for the week.
