And we danced....

I am sure all of you have heard that song "We Danced" by Brad Paisley. Tonight was my company Christmas party at 50 yard line. I sat by the guy that I don't like at work and it was quiet, awkward, and the food just wasn't that good. After the party Christopher and I came home and I turned on the TV and one of the thousands of Christmas movies was on. It was a time in the movie were there was no one talking they were just playing a Christmas song. It was kinda like turning on the radio and I grabbed Christopher's hand and we danced. We just slowly danced to the Christmas music and he said we needed to practice before the wedding. It was the sweetest moment just dancing in the middle of the living room with no one else around. I really love the quality alone time that I get to spend with my future husband.

ps... sorry about this turning into a normal journal blog, I will get back to the wedding stuff shortly but I have discovered I have another thing in common with my mother and I like to just blog about my life and stuff....

Christmas Cheer!

I thought I would share some of the things that are bringing me joy this holiday season.... my babies!!!!!! I tried really hard to get a good picture of me and them in front of the tree but trying to tame two wild animals can be difficult. I used treats to lure them into sitting and being good boys(hence duke's slober)! The bright lights of the camera hurts his eyes!

This is the best picture of me and the boys!!!!! Merry Christmas!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!

First of off, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!! I am 22 years old today! Yikes, already 22, this last year has really flew by. I had a wonderful birthday this year. Christopher woke me up at like 7:30 and he had made me the sweetest card. It was so sweet and romantic. I went back to bed and didn't wake up again until 10. I love sleeping in! I had to go to work at 2:30 but after work I went to dinner. We went to Logan's, with my parents and Christopher's parents. It was really a lovely dinner. I really enjoy my in-laws! They are so sweet and I am so glad that my parents get along so well with them! Overall, great birthday! I stole some pictures from my mom of graduation. I just wanted to share some of the pictures from graduation.

Graduation Day!

So earlier today I graduated! I am officially a Texas Tech Alumnus. It was a really sweet and sad ceremony. Chancellor Hance spoke and he did an amazing job. He wa funny, witty and heartfelt. There were things that he said that really resonated with me and I feel really excited to explore the opportunities ahead of me.

I could not have made it this far without the loving support of my parents. They have always been there to support and guide me whenever I needed it. There are times when I break down and just need someone to listen to my problems, and my mom is always there. She listens to my problems with an open ear and is always there when I need her the most. My dad is one of the most amazing men you'll ever meet. He is so supportive and proud of me. There is nothing that can happen that my daddy can't fix. When times are really bad or something goes wrong I know that I can always talk to my dad and he makes me feel so much better.

My parents are the best parents that a girl could ask for and because of them I was able to graduate today!

3 DAYS!!!! YIKES

One of my most amazing experiences at Tech was getting to share it with my best friend. Christopher is my best friend, fiance, study buddy, partner in crime and so much more! Having him by my side has made my time at Texas Tech so much better! He has helped and mentored me when times got bad and for that I will forever be thankful. I am just so lucky to have such an amazing man on my arm! I am so excited about having him become my husband!

7 days!

Today's post is dedicated to New Friends Made and Old Friends Maintained. I have really enjoyed my time at Tech because some of the most amazing friends I have made and some great ones that have been around forever.

This year some of my friends got together to form a flag football team. We weren't very good, but we had shirts! I had so much fun and it was such good exercise. Robert and I were best friends in high school and he went to Southwestern for school. Although he has moved away and spends most of his time studying abroad we have work hard at maintaining the amazing friendship that we have and I am so glad we did.

What can I say about Ms. Rocha.... basically she is amazing and I love her like a sister. We met in 3rd grade and became best friends. We have remained connected at the hip ever since. Although we have both had some tough times, we have always managed to work things out and become the best of friends! We have spent the last semester getting coffee every Monday, Wednesday and Friday! We are now addicted to coffee. I love this girl!

Cristina Maqueda.... fantastic!!!! I met Cristi about a year and a half ago during a fun summer of Organic Chemistry. From there it's history. We immediately bonded over the nerdy science things we had in common. She is graduating this semester as well and I am so glad to have a friend like her to share this with. She is also getting married so we have so much stuff to share and work on together. She is attending med school at Tech next year and I am so incredibly proud of her and her accomplishments. I am so happy and lucky to have met this amazing girl!

Heather is amazing. She worked at the bank with me for quite a while. I hate her because she left me there by myself but she is amazing! I miss our conversations and fun talks at work.

10 DAYS!

So today was my last day of class as a college student. How sad is that! I still have finals but as far as class does, I am done! I am so nervous and excited at the same time. I am soon to make a new transition in my life and that could bring all sorts of new and exciting things. But at the same time, change is always scary and different. All I can do is let the change happen and embrace all the new and exciting things it might bring.

11 Days!
