Stupid Oklahoma

Today Brandon left for Basic Training in Oklahoma. After a tearful phone call last night we said goodbye (then he called again cause he said he had to hear my bubbly laugh again). He's adorable :) He will be in Basic Training for 10 weeks. We can't text or call during those 10 weeks at all. And let me tell you, it's going to be hard. We used to talk all day everyday. Today was hard. I was just trying to distract myself. Then surprisingly my phone rang (the song Honey Bee by Blake Shelton, that is our song and his special ringtone) and I about freaked out. He called while waiting for his flight to Oklahoma. That was exciting. But it still had to end sadly. Once he's done with Basic Training he goes to OCS until February. But hopefully he'll get some time off at Christmas and I'll be home and I can see him. So, 4 months. Hopefully it flies by :) We can write letters luckily and he's already written me, so I should get it either Thursday or Friday. He's just so amazing, it sucks that I can't talk to him 24/7. I'll definitely miss him and all the wonderful sweet things he said and waking up to a text every morning that said "Good morning beautiful" :) He's pretty great huh?
Awesome box he made for me! I named the eagle Evan :) Playing in the fountain :)Swinging at our park :)

My heart is full :)

Well, these last few weeks have been crazy. Lots of ups and downs. Life sure can be bittersweet. I had surgery on Tuesday to fill the hole in my heart. I'm still sore and resting but it's looking good. The doctors said things went well and that so far it looks good. I have another test in a month and then again in 3 months. Hopefully things continue to improve. It's really weird to think that I have a metal device in my heart! It's a little eerie feeling. Actually kinda creeps me out. But it's supposed to be helping me, so I guess it's a good creepy. But another reason my heart is "full" (too cheesy?) is because of my friends. I have some of the best friends. After my surgery everyone was real sweet and made sure I was okay. Ricky actually called and then when he flew into Utah he stopped by the house to check on me. It was real sweet. That boy sure is a great friend :) he also brought me a letter from Brandon. Brandon is definitely another reason why my heart is full (yes...cheesy) but let me just say, my boyfriend is fantastic :) oh boy does he make me happy! He is the sweetest! I got to see him last Saturday when he was out in Utah. We walked around Temple Square. It was pretty magical. And I miss him already. We have officially been dating for a month, a week and two days. And he is just great! He's supportive and caring and strong and loving and sweet and just straight up amazing. I'm so grateful for him! And Ricky and all my other amazing friends who actually show how much they care. Thank you! Love you!

Craziness of life

These past few weeks have been crazyy.

-Court (my pockets) turned 20! Crazy how time flies. I met her when she was 13. Weird. And I get to see her in a week :)

-Robby's CD releases this week! I can't wait to hear it!
-I had a really fun girls night! And even made my first facial creme.

-I went fishing for the first time. But we made sure we released them all.
-My friend from Utah got married!

-Today is my last day in Greensboro :( I leave tomorrow morning.

My first fish! We named him Boris :)

Girl's night

Kyrra is gorgeous! Congratulations :)

Familia es muy importante!

First of all, sorry for being gone for so long. I would make some lame excuse up, but I don't have one. Honestly, I've just been too busy out doing stuff with my life.
Which also may involve a boy....hehe ;)

But this past weekend I got to see my niece, Kahlan, for the first time in a year. She's so grown up and adorable! Seeing her and Jake and Kelsey made me a little more excited to move out there. It's going to be nice to be only 5 hours away from them. I love my family. I love how much we talk about with each other and how involved in my life they are. I realized that most families call themselves dorks...but seriously, my family is weird! In such a good way :) I love hanging out with them. Even the spouses are all cool. So grateful for my family :D
