83 hours

In only 9 and a half short hours jeffrey will be HERE. in VIRGINIA! not baltimore, not DC, not norfolk, not raleigh. he's flying into the good ole RICHMOND airport and I'm so excited. We are getting married in 83 short short short hours and i couldn't be more excited. While he is here we will be running NONSTOP errands and im so excited to have someone to actually do them with :) with only 3 days to go i'll go ahead and give 3 reasons i'm most excited to be married.

1. i get a cuddle buddy 24/7 ok ok maybe not since jeff doesn't always want to cuddle (or cuddow because i can't say "ld" ...thanks Kylee Dial for teaching me that :) ) But i have the option whenever i want.

2. i always have someone who cares about me. I'm so excited to be able to every night just talk about our day together and just share everything. Along the lines of sharing everything i had the epiphany a few weeks back that i am never going to have my own bed or room again! i guess if i have to have another roommate jeffrey is a pretty good one to have :)

3. someone i get to kiss whenever i want. One of my favorite movies is Sweet Home Alabama... reminds me of Virginia on steroids... anyways melanie asks jake "What do you want to be married to me for, anyhow" and he replies "So I can kiss you anytime I want." i'm excited for that... let's hope jeff is too :)

Get excited everyone.... only 3 days to go :)

Costa Rica!

ok. although im not with jeff i thought i'd do a blog post from down here in costa rica! it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! i LOVE IT! so far we've zip lined, rode horses, gone to a mud bath, hung out with the locals, gone shopping, surfing, eaten TONS of yummy food, seen snakes, frogs, parrots, monkeys, and lot and lots of butterflies. My internal clock is being completely thrown off my the sun rising at 530 am and setting at 600 pm! but i love it because im usually asleep by 9 :) Here are a few pictures from the adventures

ps the sunsets here are GORGEOUS.... EVERY evening :)

last night we drove a few hours to go see a volcano. sterling, hayden and clark went to go ride the water slides but i went to sleep. as soon as i went to sleep, a knock on my door comes. hayden hit sterling in the eye with his head and needed stitches. being the only spanish speaker of the group i had to get up and come to the hospital clinic.

Catch up

wJuly 27th was my birthday. I decided i didn't want to be a teenage bride so i turned 20. For my birthday jeff got me beatles rockband, the original rockband game, and a gorgeous key ring. it was amazing. My parents got me tickets to go see Brad Paisley in september too :) My present for myself (via grandma's birthday money) was my very own Leo... short for leopold :) Leo is a baby ball python... YEP I am now a snake owner. Now before you go thinking ewww gross. Ball Pythons are the NICEST snakes and great pets. He will end up being about 4-5 feet long and about 30 years old :) i'm excited to be a "Cool mom" that has a snake :)

Last week I had to do a project for my History of Creativity Project. I was stumped until sunday... 3 days before my project was due... YIPES!!!! :( I decided to do a "creative" recreation on "the thinker" i made the sculpture by wrapping myself in saran wrap part by part then wrapping THAT in packing tape.
my head wrapped in saran wrap and tape

finished product minus the arms :)
overall a super fun project... we'll see how the grading goes though :)

This week jeff and i also moved lots of things into our apartment and got our first wedding present! we have our bed, night stand, love seat, chair, tv stand, LEO TANK, and end/coffee tables




As of today, i have to take 2 quizzes, 2 finals, pack, and get ready for COSTA RICA with my family in 4 days and i'm marrying the man of my dreams in only 20 short days :) i LOVE my life!
