Welcome to Adulthood!

Okay, so I figured when I started this blog that it would be a short journey and stay in cyberspace all lonely and unfulfilled. However, I want to begin again and keep up with this so that my close friends and family can see whats going on in my life if they so choose online.

So- Whats new then?
So much! A lot has happened since my last post way back in April. I have gotten a new car (Goodbye purple people eater) and got a 2003 Ford Taurus in a metallic light blue color. I'm very happy with it and it is quite an upgrade from my old car.
Matt and I just signed the lease on a new condo in Westmeath, which we will be moving into completely after August 1st. Its a 2 bed, 2 bath with a really nice master bathroom with a shower *and* bath tub which I will definitely take advantage of having. It has underground parking, security, elevators, a balcony, a kitchen with garbage disposal & bar, two walk-in closets and tons of storage, which rocks since we will surely need it!
We have spent a lot of time and $$ the last couple of weeks buying furniture and decor for our 1st place together and we are very eager to move in and live together alone finally.
Welcome to Adulthood!
It is both scary and exciting all at the same time, but I am 23 and ready for the journey. I am so happy to have Matt back home and out of the military and look forward to living together on our own and cuddling on our couch watching "BS" or "The Shield" as we like to do, munching on skittles or ice cream and other unhealthy treats :)

I will take LOTS of pics and include them in this blog so friends & family from near and far can see our moving journey unfold! Dun Dun Dun...

Baby Love

Spent a nice weekend with my family, and got some QT with my niece, Austin. Here are some good pictures from this past weekend:








I also went down to campus yesterday to see my friend Harper perform on her senior recital. She did an awesome job! I took a moment and took some pictures. Here is a good one I took next to St. Mary's Hall, unaware that it was Harper's family sitting on the bench.

Whimsical Wednesday.

Happy Wednesday. I'm currently just hanging out w/ Matt after a long day of feeling run-down. I have a drs appt. up in Waldorf tomorrow so hopefully something good will come out of that.
Anyways- here are some pics from today. I have some of me with my new hair:




Some pretty purple polish that I am currently wearing...I'm feeling this for spring:

Rain Rain, Go Away...

So today was a laid-back rainy day. I woke up this morning and caught what everyone else in the house has been battling. But it hasn't been too bad, I went grocery shopping w/ Mom, came home watched Forrest Gump (which never gets old!), finished up my Educational Assessment final project, and had vegetable crab soup for dinner. Now, I'm hanging out, waiting to watch American Idol w/ Matt, then Rescue Me. Then Zzzzzzzzz on some cold medicine. Here are some random pics I took today. These are some of my Favorite beauty products:

I got my hair colored and high-lighted yesterday also, so I'll be taking and uploading some pics in the next few days of that. I'm pretty pleased with it.

Heres a couple of outfits I'm looking forward to wearing once it actually becomes Spring outside:

Thats all my randomness for the day!

I think the Bunny took a detour!

It was a pretty boring Easter around here. Mom and Matt were sick, so I cooked dinner. Oven Baked Panko Chicken w/ angel hair pasta and green beans. Not a big feast, but I tried. I also made butterscotch Blondie brownies w/ nuts for desert. Here a few pics from Easter, today:

HAPPY EASTER!
