I just got done unpacking! I don't want to pack again..

I am so tired. Granted I stayed up till all hours of the night rearranging my room and cleaning and what not. But hey, it looks so good! My room finally looks rather decent :) There are a few small things I need to get done and a bit more cleaning up to do, but you can actually see the floor now; It's great!

My next main project is to start looking through pictures I want to get printed off. I have been wanting to print off new pictures to hang up since the beginning of the semester but I just never got around to it. Until then I am going to stay picture-less, besides the few pictures of me and my family that I already had framed. My eyes are just too tired to sit and look through a billion pictures right now though.

My left eye has been really dry lately, I think I am getting a sty; something that I have never had before. The inner portion of top of my left eyelid is a bit swollen and it just feels weird, I don't like it, lol. Which reminds me, I should probably go get a wash cloth and run it under some warm water and place it over my eye. That is the only thing I really know of that I can do.

Today has been a pretty good day thus far. I woke up to Bri coming in my room to snuggle with me, haha. We just laid down and talked and rested before we finally decided to get out of bed to figure out something to eat. Although right before I got out I found out how to skype on my phone!! I had a lovely skype video conversation with none other than the most marvelous David Robinson :) He just makes me so incredibly happy! He was off work for lunch and we had been texting a bit but then he asked me to skype real quick before he had to leave just so he could see my beautiful face :) Which honestly wasnt that beautiful, in my opinion, haha: I had crazy bed hair, glasses on, and I was holding my phone at a weird angle I feel like haha. But if he thinks I looked beautiful then thats all that matters! At least he looked nice though, in his button down and tie. My man the bank teller :) He is so precious.

Speaking of work, I made my way after lunch to the school. Before I ran into Admissions I checked to see if anymore of my text books had come in the mail, and I had one more waiting on me! (only two more books to go now!) I picked that book up and then went and waited on Nathan (Boss man) to finish up with a meeting then we went over the plan for working this summer, made a few calls, and before I finished I collected some information for a package I had to mail out! I really like working for admissions. I like being able to do different things, and be on the go sometimes. I don't work extremely often and I don't work long hours so it fits in nicely with my schedule since I am taking classes. And it is nice to still get a little bit of an income. I know I wont make near as much money as last summer, but thats really alright, I don't mind much.

I didn't work long at all today, and I was planning on maybe working tomorrow but he said not to worry about it. So this means that I get to leave first thing when I wake up for Georgia! I am excited to go, but I am not so excited about the 9 hours drive there, that I have to make alone. I was really wishing that David would have been able to go with me. Would have made him drive a lot for me! haha. I also really wish he could have met all my family since he hasn't yet. Although meeting all of my Puerto Rican side of the family may have been a bit much for a first meeting, haha. I am just glad that he gets to come visit me later in the summer and meet my family :) One day he will meet the rest, I am sure.

So now I am just procrastinating.. I should really either take the time to go and make myself some food or pack. I am hungry though. I kind of miss having a meal prepared for me every night. I may have taken for granted staying at Davids house and being so well taken care of. he just texted me saying he just finished eating and I am jealous, lol. I miss staying with them, I love his family! But I guess I better head off of here and eat, and then pack..

Ohhh how I do not want to pack.

Home Alone.

Welp.  I woke up today pretty late.. go figure.  But its not like I had school or work, just trying to rest up before school starts next week!  I cannot believe I will be waking up at 8am every single morning for the next eight weeks.. ugh.  I loved waking up in my own home though.  I still have some "moving in" to do, I want to move things around in my room I think and we have a couch to pick up and bring in (most likely tomorrow at some point) and there will be more arranging and cleaning to follow afterwards.  It was also fun just to sit on Bri's bed and talk to her about everything.  It was the first time we really got to talk for any length of time.  The first couple of days we were always in different places and the boys were over helping us move in and I was gone for most of the day for the concert, so it was hard to find time to just sit down and talk for a bit.  I am so glad I get to live with her this summer!  I love her :)

Dinner run break.  Time to at least get something to drink, then back here to make something to eat :)  finish this in a bit!!

Ok, so its about two hours later.  I needed to get out of the house, I will elaborate on that one later.  But!  I went to dollar general because it is super close, and a lot more reasonable than going across town.  I was able to get everything on my list there!  haha.  Then I came back, put things away, and made dinner.. Ramen noodles cooked in the microwave and a 20oz Dr Pepper I picked up on my way out of Dollar General.  haha.. I didn't feel like cooking a big blown out meal tonight.  Besides, whats the point?  I'm all alone.

I guess I should get used to it.. or I should even be used to it by now.  I just don't particularly like being alone, I like spending time with people.  I also like spending time with David.  The last two and a half weeks I have gotten to spend a lot of time with him, then today he left.  He starts work at the Liberty Bank tomorrow so he had to head out of town.  I just really wish he didn't have to leave so soon.  Its not like he had a whole lot to do back at home, right? haha.  Oh well.  Bri and I hung out a little after he left.  Well first her and Travis went to an antique store and she bought this real cute elephant candle holder deal, ha.  Then she dropped him off and we hung out before she left for work.  Now I have been completely alone in the house all day.

Idk why, well ok I guess I do know why, but it was just so hard saying goodbye to David.  I wont see him for at least two weeks, and I know that other people don't see each other for much longer and/or are so much further apart from each other but idk, goodbyes suck in any form or fashion.  I honestly was fighting back tears during it, but I didn't want to make a scene.  I just didn't want it to happen so quickly.  But supposedly its easier that way... hmmm.  Ok so anyways, I came back in to see Travis and Bri being all cute as usual, haha.  And to be honest I am kind of glad they left soon after.  I then just sat and watched TV and started doing this whole blog thing again.  A little bit later Bri came back alone, before she left for work (as stated above).  It was nice not being alone, but soon enough I had the house to myself again.  Besides going to the store and eating I have since then been hanging out in the living room on my computer blogging, uploading pictures, and watching movies of course.  Total chick flicks such as A Walk to Remember, and Dirty Dancing.. and of course I have been watching the new episodes of Secret Life of the American Teenager, hahaha.  There was a two hour episode today!  It started while I was at the store so I recorded it, then I was able to fast forward through all of the commercials later!

Now Secret Life is over, and I am once again on the couch, finishing this up.  I had to take another break to go wash out my bowl, and to change into warmer clothes.  It started getting cold inside, haha.  I already had warm socks on, but now I switched from shorts to yoga pants and threw one of David's flannels over top my tshirt.  David growing out of his clothes is somewhat of a plus to my wardrobe, lol.  Besides, I just like wearing his stuff, especially when I am not with him; it makes me feel closer to him :)

But anyways, sorry for being mushy.  I jut figured if I am going to write about my life then I might as well be honest about everything I am feeling.  I would keep writing but I am getting tired already, maybe because I have been staring at the computer screen for hours.  Ugh.. I probably need to start packing for Georgia.  Even though I wont be able to leave until Wednesday now because I have work tomorrow.  I am dreading the trip.  I really do want to see my family, I promise!  I just don't want to drive the 8hr trip by myself, I also don't want to make the trip back a handful of days afterwards.  And then I will be starting school the next day after I get back.  Boo.. I have to be responsible again.  Welcome to the life of an adult! haha.

Party Time :)

My second day in the house was quite as productful.  After lunch David helped Rachel and me pick up our shelves/cabinet and my fridge and move it into the house.  After that we all just hung out for a bit before it was time to start getting ready to leave for Riverfest!  I was so excited to see Mike Posner especially, and to see Nelly.  I was so excited three weeks ago when David bought up the tickets.  I haven't been to many concerts but I love going.  On top of that I love Mike Posner.  After getting ready we headed over to Brent's house for dinner then Brent, Zach, McKenna, David and I headed to Little Rock for riverfest.

There were so many people there!  That being said it was amazing that we ended up getting right in the front for the Mike Posner concert.  It was so awesome!  I was able to get so many good pictures and videos!  At least I hope the pictures are good, I haven't seen them all on a computer yet, they may not be as clear when they're blown up.  But who cares, I got to see Mike Posner; and it was all thanks to my amazing boyfriend David Landon Robinson :)  He is the best!  I just had so much fun going to two concerts with him.  I am glad that I am able to spend time with someone who I can just have so much fun with.  He's so great.  But besides that :P  After Posner our group headed over to the other stage where Nelly was going to play.  There were so many freakin people, the place was packed!  There were also a lot of black people.. haha.  We all had to grab hands and hold on to each other to get through the crowd.  The Nelly concert was fun, but not near as fun as Mike.  We were lost in a crowd a football field away from the stage.  At the Mike Posner concert we were able to get right up front, I like him better and know the words to all his songs better, and you could actually understand what he was saying, you could tell he loved performing, and idk.  It was just amazing.  I want to go to another Mike Posner concert for sure :)

After the concerts we hung out around Little Rock for a bit then headed back to Searcy.  After getting back into town we all went our seperate ways.  After getting to the house Bri was already asleep (it was about 2am) so I tried to quietly shower and get ready for bed.  Once I got situated it was time to snuggle up in bed. I watched part of the second half of Pearl Harbor before turning it off and getting some sleep.

I just had such a great night with an amazing guy and great friends.  I've missed going out and having fun like that.  Spending time with people is fun!  And concerts are fun!  and Having a great boyfriend is fun! haha.

Stage before Mike Posner

Most of the group!

At the Nelly Concert.

Time to move in!

After eating an hour and a half later we were back!  We first stopped by Harding so I could pick up my books I ordered for nursing.  After I finished with that I headed over to where Bri and Rachel were living for intersession to receive the house key from Bri so I could move a few things in.  And for the first time I headed over to my new house with David to move things in!  We just unloaded everything from my jeep and then headed out to see if I could work for a bit.  At least I was hoping to work except that my desk had been cleared out and my folder with all my information was thrown away.  Sad day!  So instead we talked for a bit then headed out for dinner, followed by going to the movies to see The Hangover 2!  

I wish my house would have been able to stay in my own house but two other girls were still staying there, so I didn't even have a bed.  Instead I headed back to Bri and Rachel's house and spent the night there.  The next day I was able to go back to my house and low and behold the two other girls had moved out!  So i could finally start unpacking and moving things around.  So David came to help and we spent most of the day doing just that! :)  He was very helpful whenever I needed him.  He could have been more helpful if he wanted I feel like, but he opted to sit on the couch and watch tv while I did the dirty unpacking work.. men!  He did help me out with the heavy moving aspect, and If I ever had questions about anything or called for him he I don't think I ever stopped working and getting the house ready until 2am that night, then finally decided it was time to sleep, I was pooped!  But I just loved loved loved having my own place, FINALLY!

Our house!!

It goes much farther back than what you can see.

my room starting to come along :)

Still a bit messy, and not completely put up but it will get there!

Our kitchen :)

Our Vanity, haha.  Guess whose side is whose.

Living Room!

Semester leads to Summer.

Finals week last much too long, although I was finished by Wednesday night.  Those three days and nights didn't feel like they were ever going to end.  I spent so much time studying.  All the hard work did pay off however, so I guess I should be happy about that.  

By Thursday afternoon I had met with Bri and Tessa, Met David's aunt, said some goodbyes, moved everything out of my dorm, with David's help of course.  Having brunch with Tessa and Bri was so much fun, discussing with Tessa how everything with her house was going to work out.  It was just exciting thinking that Bri and I would have our own place for the summer.  Finally I will be living on my own.  Going to summer classes, working, paying the bills, ADULT LIFE! haha.. This is what I have always wanted right?  Minus the school part, but I want to be out in Four years.  Anything I can do to be a College Graduate/RN/BSN in two years will be done.  I need to finish school so I can have a real life.  This School thing is getting much too old!  

Ok, so before I get off track:  Thursday: After David and I finished packing up it was off to Russellville for the next couple of weeks before I could move into my new house.  Staying with his family was so great.  I honestly wasn't meaning to stay so long, but I really had no place else to go and It was nice being surrounded by family and being able to spend time with my man.  Although I didn't get to see him much; he worked 10-13 hour days so whenever he came home he was tired and I never wanted to bother him in any way so I let him relax.  It never left for a whole lot of time to talk or anything but it was still nice being able to be close to him.  

It was a little lonely being in the house all day, but I made due.  I read a couple books, I got a few things finished up for nursing school, laid out by the pool (it was still too cold to get in) and I did laundry.  I also helped out by putting dishes away from the dishwasher, watering plants and doing anything that was asked! haha.  It was just a nice little get away; I was able to relax before I had to get the ball rolling.

Two weeks later, last Friday I was packed up once again and ready to head back to Searcy town.  After waking up and getting ready I helped David clean and pack.  After leaving the house we stopped by the elementary school and talked to Tami, his mother, before heading over to Taco John's for lunch before heading out of town.  I was going to miss being taken care off, and having a home to stay in where a family was present and somewhere where I felt comfortable.  I was so grateful of how David's family welcomed me with open arms and let me stay for so long.  I loved my time there.  But now it was time to start my next chapter:

living on my own, in my own home.

Did this about on a daily basis, its too cold to get all the way in though!

We were on the way back from somewhere.. church? getting a movie?  I forget.

David and I had a bit of a competition.  This is me beating his high score :)
