Yikes...

Here we are again with a month gone by since my last post. And I thought I was getting better about this! I'm just going to pretend that didn't happen...

I am currently sitting in my statistics class waiting for my teacher to show up. However, since this class is so boring and I don't know a soul in here I'm just going to spend my time blogging and Pinteresting (that's a verb right?) until 50 minutes has passed. 

Quick update on my life as of the last month:

Elliott and I celebrated our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! 

I truly can't believe it's been an entire year. It doesn't feel like that much time has passed and at the same time it feels like so much longer. It just so happened that SAE has a Valentine's date party the same night. We went to dinner with a big group of friends and ended the night at a new bar on the square. But I keep telling myself it was just a huge party just for us. It was so much fun!

Meg and I at Swayze Field for the first game!

Baseball season also kicked off and is now in full swing! We have FIVE games this week!! Right field is def the place to be on game days. Everyone's in a great mood, the weather is always amazing, and the beer is never ending. The only problem I have is making it through the night after I've been to a game aka I'm a light weight.

Oh! My puppy!! I ended up naming the ball of joy Sippi and she is the light of my life!! It is so wild how much I love her. She literally warms my heart. She's getting so big I can't stand it. I wish I could slow her growing down just a little bit. 

I suppose that's enough for now. I'll post tomorrow since I have the day off!!

It's OK Thursday!

Okay so I'm doing my first "link up" in the blogging world with Neely at A Complete Waste of Makeup. I've seen it on other blogs and always thought it was cute so here goes nothing! 

IT'S OK...

To spend the entire day fixing up your condo with your dad on your day off from class.

To not go to dinner with your dad because your sister is being a brat.

To want to redo your room as soon as you finish decorating it. 

To make a mess of your whole downstairs and hide in your bed until you feel like cleaning it up.

To make four trips to Home Depot in one day.

To sleep with an old stuffed bunny rabbit as a sophomore in college.

To drink Diet Coke like it's your job.

To learn how to be handy around the house at 19.

To want to eat sushi every single day.

To be a month late buying your BF a Christmas gift.

To fight with your bestfriend over something you believe in.

To not talk to said best friend for a few days while you both cool down.

To be so perfectly content in your relationship.

To finally turn over a new leaf in your life.

To blog because it feels good to put something out there.

Wooo! That actually was really nice!! I will def try and remember to do this next week!

Have a happy day!

Sup Pup!

Hello world, I would like to introduce my new puppy to you!

She is the most precious thing in the world! My family dog, Chaney, had puppies on December 14th and all 7 of them are beautiful. They are full bred Golden Retrievers and all of them are so sweet with amazing dispositions!

My mom surprised me by saving one for me and told me I could keep her if I felt like I could take care of her. I was very hesitant at first because puppies are a huuuge responsibility, but after talking to a friend who got a puppy at my age I was convinced I could handle it. 

I am in love! (Sorry Elliott!)

Every since I decided to keep her, I have felt like I have a child!! It is actually quite ridiculous. I have about 100 pictures of her on my phone and show them off to anyone who will stop long enough to look! I'm like one of those annoying parents who's child made honor roll or won a track meet. She can't move into my condo for another 2 to 3 weeks since she is only a month old so I'm basically dying not having her with me right this second. 

I took her to my boyfriend's fraternity house and all of those boys are obsessed with her! I was told that I couldn't ever come back unless I brought her with me and she has been dubbed the new SAE mascot. It was so funny hearing every single guy come into the room and immediately talk in a baby voice! 

I mean look at her! How could you not love her?! 

I'm not sure that I even have any readers, but if you're out there help me pick a name!

I'm loving:

Scarlett

She's very independent and sassy sometimes!

Honey

She's honey colored and sweet!

Sippi

For my home state of good ole MissisSippi!

Daisy

One of my favorite flowers! Who doesn't love a daisy?

Give me some feedback and let me know!

Obviously..

.. I am the world's worst blogger. I check on this little thing maybe once a month? It's just so hard to want to keep up with it when I don't even know how to make it cute! I guess I need to invest a little more time into figuring that out. Later! ;)

Christmas break has come and gone. Tomorrow is the first day of my second Spring semester at Ole Miss. This is exciting and scary to me. It means I'm getting older and I do not like the sound of that! 

Tonight was stormy so my first day of classes will be brought in with the rain. Walking around campus in the rain is so much fun!... not. But I guess the plus side is that I get to wear my new hot pink Hunter's and they always seem to put a little more pep in my step. I need to buy the fleece socks that fit them so I can wear them on campus instead of tennis shoes or boots while it's still cold out.

How cute would those be peeking over my pink wellies!? I need them!

My dad is coming into town tomorrow and will be here for the next week! I'm excited to spend more time with him like I did over Christmas break. We really bonded and our relationship is so much better after I stayed at his house in south Georgia for a few nights. I also plan on putting him to work in my condo hanging curtains, fixing a cabinet or two, etc. I'm sure he won't mind too much!

I have, yet again, decided to give this whole blogging thing another shot. My goal is to post at least once a week. I know that's not much but it's wayyy better than what I have been doing! So hopefully I'll be checking in later this week : )

Christmas Break!

Christmas break has finally arrived! I have the next four or six weeks off, depending on if I take a Wintersession class or not.  I am currently in Atlanta with my sweet boyfriend at his parent's home. Unfortunately, the only people in town are Ole Miss students so we're kind of playing the waiting game for everyone else to get back home so we have something to do! 

Tonight we picked out a Christmas tree with his parents and followed it with dinner at PF Changs. Sooo yummy! Tomorrow night will be full of decorating the tree and the rest of the house while drinking lots of hot chocolate. Hopefully there will be a party to go to tomorrow night because I brought wayyy too many cute outfits to just sit at home in leggings and tshirts!

I am also freaking out about what to buy for E's Christmas gift!! He has all the clothes he could need, a nice watch, two wallets, everything! I'm debating cologne and a Patagonia maybe? Who knows what I'll end up buying him. Hopefully something he loves!

Later this week I am venturing off the Jacksonville to see my BFF Kaley!! I haven't seen her since the Nashville trip and I am so pumped to spend a week with her! We have nice Christmas parties and a Deb Ball to attend and we will have plenty going on in between. Thank goodness I'm not stuck in boring ole Oxford right now!! 

OOOh! I almost forgot! Chaney, my beautiful golden retriever, is having puppies THIS WEEK! I am happy that I get to return home to those little balls of love. And maybe get one for Christmas?! I'm still trying to decide if I'm responsible enough and ready to keep up with a puppy. 

Merry Christmas!!

November

This month has flown by!! It's already Thanksgiving break and thank goodness for that! However, I am so bored sitting in Oxford with only a hand full of friends. Everyone, including Elliott, left Sunday and it has been a painfully boring 24 hours. I've spent more time Skyping and on the phone with Nola than we usually spend together in a week. Needless to say there is NOTHING to do in O-town. I even made a peanut butter pie last night out of boredom!

I woke up this morning to lots of rain. Thank goodness Serendipity was on E to entertain me! I'm not really sure how the rest of this day, or the rest of break, will end up considering the options.. which are basically zero. Hopefully something fun will happen! 

Catching Up

So it's been a month since my last post. Which wasn't really a post at all.. It was more of me letting out my frustrations since I don't know how to make my blog pretty. I'm sure I would be much more inclined to blog if I had a nice looking outcome. But I'm going to give this blogging thing a shot again with or without a pretty background.

 I've come across so many blogs that I end up spending an hour on because I'm so interested in what the blogger has to say. They post the most random and sweet things and it makes me jealous that I don't do it as well! I'm going to try and post a couple of times a week. I like the idea of doing the "Friday Favorites" and "What I'm Loving Wednesdays." It's an easy, good idea that produces an interesting result.

And again, if anyone has any tips for me on how to fix my blog up I would LOVE to hear it!!
