Ready or not..College here I come

Life can be so hard sometimes. Im so eager to just get out of Hazelwood and meet new people. Today mom and I went out to the container store (among other stores) and Im in love. For a person who likes to be very organized this store is like heaven! I've never seen something so wonderful! I made a list of random things that I will be needing for my dorm room with my bestie next year. Can you harly believe it? Im going to be in college next year! I've always thought about the day when I actually wont live at home and Ill be out on my own but wow. That is less than 8 months away now. CrAzY! In other news..my nephew rolled over for the first time! My wonderful sister in law was there waiting to capture the moment.

He looks so proud of himself in this picture. Like "oh my gosh mom. can you believe it? I did it!" Or so I think. lol But what do I know.


Then just to prove himself the very next day he rolled over twice in a row!

Senior Snowball

Last night was the Senior Dance at school. Sam and I took pictures at his house along with some friends. Then we headed to the dance. At first it wasn't exactly what I was expecting. It kinda felt like we were at school but we were all dressed up. ha ha But once people started showing up it was much better. The night ended up being fun and Sam and I had a great time!

Aunt Nelle

I knew since the day I found until July 6, 2007 that I would love my nephew. But watching him grow and gain a personality has been one of the most rewarding things of my life. He lives two hours away so I miss alot but when I do get that special time it is like heaven. He has changed so much since he was just a little baby weighing 6lbs 14 oz to his now over 16 lbs! The relationship with my brother and sister in law has always been a wonderful one. I've always looked to them

for help and I don't think I have a stronger relationship with anyone else. But that relationship has become so much stronger since Chase stepped into the picture. My once older brother at home who used to hold and take care of me is now taking care of his own baby! Chase is truly a miracle and there is no doubt in my mind that he will always know Auntie Nelle loves him!

A Happy Reunion

Yesterday Sam finally came home after being gone for a week in Florida. It was a little nice to have a break from eachother but it was so nice to see him when he finally returned! Yesterday we spent the day together walking around the mall, watching Desperate Housewives, taking naps, and just generally enjoying eachothers company. School starts on Monday which means we will both go back to our crazy schedules with practice, homework, and work. So all in all it was really nice to be able to spend the day with eachother.
