Happy New Year!

It is now official.....I have been living in MO for a little over 2 YEARS now!!! I still can't come to terms with this. 2014 has a lot in store for me. Its going to be a very busy year and in a blink of an eye it will go by quicker than 2013 did. First of all my birthday is coming up in February, and I am going to be twenty something years old (cringe). Second, my future sister-in-law is going to have her baby girl any day now!! So excited for her!! Thirdly, my sisters is getting married in March and its going to be in Phoenix, AZ, so that will be very exciting. Me and Chris want to plan a trip this spring or summer, something fun since we didn't go anywhere last year, and LAST but not LEAST on top of all of this and work and regular everyday living, I have to plan my wedding which is in November. See? I told you this year is going to flash before my eyes! I have to remember to take the time and breath and live every moment of every day. With so much going on I can totally see myself rushing, and stressing and not enjoying all these memories. I can't wait to enjoy 2014!!

Winter Blues

Where is my sun? Where is my warmth? Where is my spring, Missouri?

I am so over this weather. I am so over being cold every morning and pretty much all day everyday. Its MARCH!!!!! I need a little sunshine otherwise my crabbiness will get worse. Maybe I am suffering from seasonal depression?

Random Pictures. Enjoy!

It has been a busy week. Nothing exciting to report except I had a few "firsts" happen. Hopefully I will have some true me time to write a proper blog post. I apologize in advance for the poor photography skills. It doesn't help that I am posting this from my phone, on the sofa, in my peejays either. Don't judge me....

First time making ribs. Unfortunately they were just okay. I should really consider becoming Chicken Finger-tarian. What? I could live off chicken nuggets and fingers and no other kind of meat!

My dog is a hoarder. I have NO idea where he is getting these sticks from. We don't even have a tree in the backyard. And why does he collect them at the back door???

Long Over Due No Excuse Update

Good Morning people who actually read my blog.

It has been a very very long time since I have posted an update. A few important reasons why, but also a big reason is I lost my blogging drive. I did not have exciting things to blog about BUT today is your lucky day so take a seat, grab a coffee and prepare yourself for a long post.

First and for most we got a dog. Yep that is right we buckled down and adopted a chocolate lab mix puppy named Charlie! he drives me nuts but he is the cutest thing to set foot in the apartment

Image

He loves running around in circles over and over again until he tires himself out and collapses on the floor. He seriously collapse like a dramatic diva when he is tired. He is about 99% house broken with the exception of a few incidents that almost made me give him up for adoption. He has not chewed up anything expensive except a few socks and my dress pants. At the end of the day though he is a keeper and he needs to grow into his little peanut head.

Next up, Pedro The Lion..

Image

I got to meet David Bazan, of Pedro the Lion. He had this little intimate small play session at someone's house. There were maybe 40 people max and everyone was sitting around listening to him play. He has such an amazing voice. Very powerful and rich sounding. He brought his daughter along with him and she was so adorable. Lucky for me I got to take a picture and have a vinyl autographed. Woot go me!

Lets see, what else, Oh the 4th of July

Image

This was our 4th of July view. Enough said!

I have to include a Cardinals game in the mix.

Image

Best view so far. I almost caught a ball (not really) but in theory I almost did. I love going to Cardinals games. I love going to live sport games period. They are so much fun and exciting and way better than watching from home on the TV.  So far they are doing pretty darn good this season. Lets hope they keep it up.

nanananananan BAT MAN!!!!!!!

Image

Did you guys see the Bat Man premier movie? We saw it in the OmniMax theater. WOW my neck was killer the next day but so worth it. The movie was amazing. I'm pretty sure we are going to see it again on a regular screen.

Hope I did not bore you to death this time. At least I provided pictures because pictures are always fun to see.

I will be calm

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="480" caption="Luckiest Girl Alive"]Good morning Missouir! You have horrible roads downtown and your drivers out here SUCK!! Why would you drive 47 mph on the freeway in the fast lane? Why would you leave 300 car spaces in front of you causing the traffic jam at 5 to be aired on the news?

I will calm down I will calm down I will calm down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOWEVER Missouri you redeem yourself by showering the town with snow flurries and sprinkles of rain during a Micro Center and Target run. Makes running errands a little more magical! ALSO I really love my neighborhood because its a wonderland of charm! So much better than the cookie-cutter blah in newer areas.

Recap of my birthday! All I have to say is that it was sweet and amazing I will let the pictures tell the story

Ruffing it on a sudsy Monday

Hope you had a happy new year! We have spent the last 3 days unpacking and getting our life in order. The apartment is slowly coming together, we have the bathrooms, the kitchen, the office and part of the living room together. We still have a ridiculous amount of things to still get done and some how we manage to always come home hauling something up to the apartment if we leave to run errands. Tonight is my first time at a laundromat. The apartment charges you to use the wash and dry in the basement and we figured it would be cheaper to go to a laundromat. Let me tell you it is not that much cheaper. We forgot our detergent an had to purchase dinky box ones from the vending machine which left us short change and a load that will have to wait for next time. This task will take a bit to grow on me, I think it's because I have been spoiled with an in-home laundry up until now. I love the idea of being out an about away from all the packing though. It's kind of like a mini field trip. Ohhhh and how can I forget to mention that I made Belgium waffles for the first time ever this morning. I won't lie they were the BEST!!
