Why do I do it...

...when I know I can't keep New Year resolutions.
From the ones I blogged about the 30th of December, I've onlly kept a few.

I have laughed so much more this semester, for sure. Living with Karrye is always an adventure. We have SO much fun with each other, it's a little ridiculous sometimes. Our plan of going to bed early hasn't been going so well lately but I can't complain.

I think I'm starting to be a better person. Of course, I'm still as sarcastic as ever, but that's not going anywhere anytime soon. And I'm starting to be more comfortable with who I am. I loved my girls last semester but this one is so much better. I'm much more relaxed and nicer to be around. Someone even said that I looked happier the other day. Maybe it's because I've been laughing...that does have positive side effects on people!

I think I've Facebooked more and blogged less though so I'm so very sorry to those of you who actually read this (yes, there are some of you!)

This upcoming weekend, I'm going to Divine Rhythm to work on growing in my faith. I'm a little nervous for some reason, not really sure why. I went last year and had a blast but I have a strange feeling I'm going to be broken and I don't really think I'm ready for my world to be rocked at this particular point in time. Guess I don't really have a say in it though, do I? ;)

My niece should be arriving very soon, too, and this makes me an even more excited person! I can't believe my sister has been carrying life around in her...didn't think she could. haha I can't wait to meet the little pumpkin. I love her already so much.

As for my personal life:
Everytime I talk about a specific person on my blog, it seems to curse it. I have NO idea why but it does. And it sucks. But I've been talking to a really sweet guy and I'm pretty excited about it. He's really great. Plus, he likes hockey so that can't be bad. Stay tuned for updates about him :)

I'm going to get ready for class then I have two back to back meetings-Yikes! Let the hectic life continue!

XOXO

last week home!

and it's going to be sooo crazy!
I work today, tomorrow, maybe Wednesday (if not work, up there organizing and doing things), and Thursday. Friday, I'm going shopping with mom and doing stuff to get this "small" baby shower together. Who knew it would end up being this big of a deal...almost 40 people! HOLY COW! Good thing it's really low key!

Yesterday, I went over to see Alexander. Oh my God, for real. I'm so in love with him and his shaggy hair. When I got there, he was in time out. :( Susan went upstairs to see him. He tromped down the stairs saying no and then saw me. It was such a happy reunion! He ran over and jumped up in my arms like an old movie scene. He wouldn't let me out of his sight, which made me feel better than I had for a really long time. He was talking up a storm, telling me all his new words and showing me how he likes to jump in and out of his pack and play. He sat on my lap and showered me with hugs and kisses and would rub my cheek after giving me a kiss and say I like!. I just LOVE him! I almost cried when I put him down for a nap when I left but can't complain-Joe and Susan didn't have to let me come over and play with him. I'm sooo glad they did. They also mentioned something about him and me for the summer so we'll see if that pans out.

Tomorrow night = CAPS TICKETS! I'M SOOOO FREAKING EXCITED! They beat the pens New Years Day in the Winter Classic WHICH WAS AMAAAAZING! so we're all excited to go tomorrow.

For now, I'm thinking of going to Borders, getting a cup of coffee, a new calendar, then heading home to go to bed. I almost got in trouble this morning-I had to be at work at 9 and got out of bed at 8:40. Oops.

XOXO
