I wish you all a Merry Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate! I hope you had a lovely day and spent your time with the people you love the most! I got some pretty sweet Christmas gifts and I'm sure you will get to see them soon! So what did you get for Christmas? Anything awesome?!

Thanksgiving nothing much happened except the photo shoot that Eddy and I went on to get ready for Christmas. We decided we would give pictures of ourselves to my grandparents, since that is what they asked for. (I am not that vain!) We had some good pictures and some bad but here are a few of the results.

For our 3 year anniversary I bought concert tickets for Eddy and I to see one of our favorite bands, Minus the Bear. This was my second time seeing them and his first. I have never been more in love with a band in my life. Seeing Minus live was just like listening to them in the car only louder and a better experience. If you haven't heard of Minus the Bear yet do me a favor and listen to them! I hope you find as much love in them as I have!

It was a lovely time had by all.

My lovely friends Lauren and Tim got married before Lauren went off for basic training. I adore them both and had so much fun at the wedding. Seeing two good friends get married was the highlight of my week! Lauren has been away since September finishing up her training and she comes home tomorrow. I am very excited to see her! More pictures later

Once a year the kidney walk does a walk at the Philadelphia Zoo. I try and do the walk for my friend Joe, who had a failing kidney and was on dialysis 3x a week. Joe recently, this year about 6 months ago, got a kidney transplant. We were all so happy for him and that made this year's kidney walk so much more special. It felt great to be out there supporting a good cause. Joe actually just got accepted as a 2012 transplant olympics contestant, he was so excited!

(Taken Thanksgiving day)
My life has been a blur since the last time I have posted. Full of class work, writing stories, a terrible partner that did nothing, aggravation, anguish, and grief. I'm so glad that I only have two finals left. Today at 2:45 and Monday at 1:45. This semester was by far the hardest semester ever and I had to be on my A-game. I don't start next semester until January 17th ish and I so need this break. Hopefully I can make a post a day, or at least 3 a week, until I start school. I feel like i have so much to expand on!
Hope everyone is having a perfect holiday season! I just finished Christmas shopping yesterday except for the liquor store!

(me in the mac lab at school)
It has been a long while, almost a month or maybe more. I have lost track of my life and my inspiration. All of my classes are seriously sucking the life out of me. Life what is that? I ask myself that daily. I'm slowly going insane with the copious amounts of homework and school work I have not to mention going to work, trying to get to the gym, and still managing a social life (a very non-existant one). I've been spending a lot of my days on about 5/6 hours of sleep which is no way to live but I'll make it through. One more year I keep reminding myself. Thank you to all of you who may be reading this. Hopefully my course load will lesson and I will be back full force with cute crafts and posts or something of that nature!

October is for pots of tea and fall decorations! It is also for my birthday ♥

I have some pictures coming soon of all the awesome squares I received from all of the talented ladies in the blogger blanket project.

Previously mentioned here I am finally just getting around to posting a picture of the shoes that I won compliments of Big Buddah via Sometimes Sweet

They are so cute in person and look so great on my feet! Hopefully I can come up with an outfit to wear them with soon and show you guys how awesome they really are!

I can't believe school has crept back up on me this quickly. I have become bogged down with hours and hours of homework in addition to working at my new job! I don't know why I wanted summer to end so badly before. I forgot how much the hour drive to and from school stinks! I also miss going out every Monday or Tuesday for one of these;

or


I know its tough now but as soon as I'm finished with this semester and on break again I know I will want it all back. Its not so much the school that bothers me, Its all the homework I have to do after school instead of having fun like all of my other friends.

So on the second part of our super cute date since eddy took me to dinner I took him out for dessert! We went to Yogurt Land and had build your own froyo, so cute! Eddy is more of a traditional man and had some original tart, strawberrry and cheesecake with some granola and Reeses Pieces. I on the other hand went all out, I had pineapple, cheesecake, strawberry and something else that I can't remember and plenty of toppings!

After we came home I have eddy the best gift ever!

I decorated the bag just for him and gave him Minus the Bear tickets for October 15th ish or somewhere around there. I am so excited to see them! I also bought him Rushmore, the DVD we always want to watch and never have! He got me the cutest Iphone case/wallet that looks like a book I am so in love with it!

So Eddy and I just celebrated our third year anniversary from the day he asked me out. He asked me to come to the city for dinner and let me pick where ever I wanted to go. I choose Good Dog Bar, They have the most delicious cheesesteak empinadas. They also have the cutest little coasters and the most delicious gummy bear cocktail!

I got the cocktail, Eddy was manly and got a beer!

Eddy's second beer was the Kenzinger, it was yummy!

and my second beer was a Southampton triple white, which was so good.

And of course the coasters were so adorable that i'm pretty sure I brought one home!

White Castle is a treat that usually Eddy and I only get during the summer since its about a 45 minute drive to get some (but it happens to be on the way to the beach). White Castle has the yummiest little burgers and the cutest old man at the counter that asks you after you order, "White Castle would like to know IS THAT WHAT YOU CRAVE?" He is so passionate about his job, or so it seems. So adorable!

Here's to hoping I get one more trip to White Castle before my season "officially" ends.

Eddy and I have found the most delicious deli ever. They make the most amazing breakfast sandwiches, We just love them!

Here's a picture of our breakfast sandwiches (and tator tots, were so healthy!)

and our beverage of choice. I love getting to spend a few extra moments soaking up the time with the man I love before a long day!

I spent a lot of time this summer with pink nails, I can't help it. I'm a sucker for pink but when fall comes it's all about the grays, browns, and blues. I can't wait to redo my nails for this season! Have I mentioned that I love fall!

For a while I was reading a whole lot but as summer progressed I got lazier (and busier)and stopped reading as much. When I made my schedule for class I obviously was not in my right mind. I commute to Rowan which is about an hour away from me. The problem is monday and Wednesday I have a 4.5 hour break in between my classes, you see what I mean ... What was I thinking?! Well back to where I started with this post, I would like to get back into reading more and with all this new found "down time" not at home to nap and watch TV I will be forced to either read or do homework and anything that helps me procrastinate homework is a friend of mine!
The borders around here are going out of business and I stopped in the other day to see what I could get for rather cheap. I found a book with an awesome cover, yeah yeah I know don't judge a book by its cover (I always do). The book was called The Tortilla Curtain and so Far I love it. I actually am looking forward to my four and a half hour breaks to finish this book.

Lately the weather has been so rainy and not good at all. I fear the last time I went to the beach will be the last time I sunbathe this year. Now don't get my wrong, I am more then excited for fall (especially pumpkin picking and pumpkin pie!) but if i knew that would be the last time at the beach this season I would have spent more time taking it all in. We went to Island Beach State Park to beach it up and then headed over to the Seaside Boardwalk, where the Jersey Shore is filmed. The water when we went was so perfect that we spent most of the time in the water. Of course I was burnt as always but it really was a perfect day at the beach!


If you can't make fun of yourself in a fun house mirror then you are no friend of mine!


and you can't have a trip to the beach without playing skeeball!

I got the high score of the day and eddy rewarded me with a lollipop with all of our tickets!

I got a blue tongue (and mouth) from the lollipop that Eddy got me so its a good thing by that time we were on our way home!

Thanks for listening;

I have been the worst blogger ever last month, one post in 31 days? Seriously, I am sorry! I was so busy having a great time that I totally neglected my blog. Now that I am back in school its easier to actually have a plan and stick to it. I spent most of my summer at work, the beach, they gym, or at Eddy's which is why I was MIA so much. Over the summer Eddy and I got seriously hooked on Sons of Anarchy. We finished season one and two in about a month and had to wait for season three to come out on August 30th.

I went out and bought it the day it came out and have already finished it. Season three was an emotional roller coaster and tonight is the season premier and I can not wait. There are so many posts I need to put up before I am all caught up, it may be Christmas before I make it there!

Lately I have been really busy throwing last minute things together and spending time with these girls who are all going to be doing their own thing soon. We all work together but with the start of school (and two of us with new jobs) everyone goes their own ways. I just got a new job which I start training for on Monday. I start school at the beginning of the month (and had to pay tuition at the beginning of august) Which is why I was working so much.
I have a bunch of things to show you guys like all of the beautiful squares I got for the blogger blanket project, which you should totally join next round! I also want to show you the Big Buddah shoes that I won over at Sometimes Sweet. I should be back either tomorrow or Sunday!
