I forgot to post for the month of April. Forgive me? Thanks :) This month you will get two for the price of one. Yah you! Its like couponing for blogs....
I am not even sure where to begin, seeing how I am writing this in June. So lets begin with me New Years Resolutions (like every month) and then we shall get into some details about the month of April & May!!
1. Get straight A's - I am sad to report that I did not get straight A's this past semester. 5 As, 1 B, and a C. Not exactly what I was hoping for but gosh darn it I kicked but. I worked my but off in school and in work. So I am super proud of myself.
2. Save mulaaa - It is so depressing when you have gotten to a point where you have saved and saved and saved, and then things just seem to start falling apart. In the past two months I have had to replace my tires ($400), pay for Summer Tuition out of pocket ($900), and other things like that. Its like taking a shot to the heart, in Jon Bon Jovi's words.
4. Take a road trip - Yah!! Finally some plans are in the works! One of my best friends, Emily, got engaged and we are planning a road trip/beach trip for her 'not-so-crazy-bachelorette-party'. Nothing set in stone yet but I am super excited for a girls beach trip getaway with all my favorites.
5. Attend more live performance - One Direction concert is coming up at the end of this month!! Woohoo!
6. Blog & film on a regular basis - fail. Seeing how I missed a whole month and all.... but I am getting back on track.
7. No Chick-fil-A Waffle fries for ones year! - I am so incredibly proud of myself!! 5 months down and not a single fry all year long! It is amazing to me how something that used to be such a big part of my diet because I was working at Chick-fil-A, is now not even a craving of mine. I feel so much better now that I have cut out fries and other bad eating habits.
8. Drink five glasses of water everyday - I came so close to this goal but I can not honestly say that I drank that much water these past couple months. I have been drinking a lot of unsweetened green tea, unsweetened passion fruit tea, and coffee. But I try to keep a good balance of mostly water.
9. Run/work-out at least three times a week - I am kind of disappointed in myself. I was going strong for a while and then when exams hit at the end of April, then I moved, then I started a new job I just got lost in all of it. But I have gotten myself back on track lately and I'm going strong.
10. Get healthy! -Though I have not been hitting the gym as much as I have been hoping I have been watching what I eat so closely. Not to count calories or anything like, I am just trying to eat more healthy. Lots of veggies and fruits. But honestly, its all about your portion. You can still have a slice of pizza, just don't go for the 3rd slice, thats when you get in trouble.
11. Find a church Matt & I both love - Matt and I are still attending Discovery Church in Orlando and are loving it.
12. Move out (again) - Check mate! In early May I moved from my parents into my Papaw's house. I never really thought about it as an option but I am really enjoying having my own space again. My Papaw used to live in Ocoee but he has been living in Gainseville for over a year now. My cousin has lived there for a while but a house is a lot of up keep so I moved in and have been helping take care of the house since my Papaw is never home.
13. Figure out what I want to do once I graduate - New job alert!!! I was offered a position at the engineering firm my dad works for as a Marketing Intern!! I started in early May and I am loving it! The downtown vibe is so much fun, not to mention they told me I would be pulled on full time after graduation! I am so excited to see what the future holds when it comes to my new job!
14. Pick up more skills in the kitchen - Now that I have my own kitchen I have been cooking and baking like now other. The other day I made home-made apple pie, turtle brownies, and Apple Streusel muffins all in one day.
15. Read at least 5 non-school-related books - I had been wanting to read the Hunger Games so badly but because of school I honestly just didn't have the time. So I purchased all three books on audiobook and it worked awesome! I read (or listened) to all three Hunger Games books in the month of April. Such a great series, if you haven't read them I highly recommend. I may start reading them again, they are the best thing to listen to when I work out.
16. Get hitched - tie the knot - WE ARE ENGAGED!!! I told you a lot happened in the past two months. Matt popped the question while on Lido Key Beach on our 5 th Anniversary (May 26th). We are both so excited and let the wedding planning begin! I want to start blogging about wedding stuff as I plan it. Just a fun way to remember this stage. No date are final but we are looking at the first or second week of March 2013, granted the world doesn't end in December....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So yes, A TON has happened! So lets start in April and then move on to May
April, lets think back.... hum..
I got a pulled over two days before my birthday for going 30 mph through a 25 mph toll booth. I didn't get a ticket but the state trooper told me I needed to take off the license plate frame off from around my plate because he couldn't clearly see 'Florida'. Grrrr. I will punch you in the face if need be..
I turned 21 and I did a whole blog post about that. basically spent the whole weekend at the beach with Matt and some friends. Then had a dinner at Bahama Breeze with a whole bunch of people.
Later in the month I got a job offer from the same firm my dad works for, which was totally out of the blue. I wasn't even looking for a job and it kind of fell in my lap and I couldn't say no. So after 4.5 years with Chick-fil-A I switched jobs in early May. bittersweet for sure.I couldn't have asked for a better boss and co-workers. CFA family for life.
At the end of the semester, school was getting crazy. 7 classes with exams, brain explosion.
Early May, one of my best friends/bridesmaid got engaged (May 6th, I think) and 20 days later I got engaged. We never imagined we would get to go through this planning experience together and it has been so much fun. Granted, she is getting married in August, so she is planning everything in a quarter of the time that I have. I am in awe of her, I would seriously loose my mind.
humm, what else in May. Another great friend of mine celebrated her 21st at Taverna Opa, much fun there. Love you Vero.
Don't forget about National Star Wars Day on May Fourth....May the Fourth be with you! :) This is when my inner geek comes out!Memorial Day was especially special this year seeing how two of my friends are serving overseas right now. Love and miss them.
Took Sam's senior pictures, which she looks gorgeous in! I am so happy to see one of my best friends find an awesome girl like her! For our Five Year Anniversary Matt and I headed to Sarasota. Where he ended up proposing, which will be an entire blog post on its own...very soon.
Oh and celebrated another close friend's 21st birthday at Bahama Breeze...way to be a copy cat Daniel. geeez.
Wheewwwww. Thanks for sticking with me if you made it this far! I know that was a lot!! Keep your eyes pealed for an engagement post! :)
