B-day Surprise

David's birthday is May 12th! He will be 24.

And I just thought of what I am going to do for him for his birthday. =] I sure hope he likes it!

But I can't say anything on here...cause, even though I don't think he reads this, I don't wanna take any chances. ;) I can't wait!

Spring Events!

Okay so...yes, it has been a while since I last updated...and what is sooo sad about that is that so much fun stuff has happened since I last blogged!!

I think it is just that is has been SUCH a busy semester! It is my last semester, and I am graduating in 2 weeks!! =DDD I am SO excited for that, you have no idea! Plus, I really have spent most of my time doing homework, yes..I get on facebook and check it constantly, but I haven't put away time to just sit here and write. And I missed it so...here I am! =]

So, last time that I updated, I had just found out that I got the job at Sierra Vista! Which I leave for lifeguard training on May 18th, then I come back to Denton on the 22nd. Then I go back on May 31st and I stay there until July 31st. (CRAZY LONG!) I am realizing to closer it gets to that time, how much I am going to miss David. I mean, the longest we have been apart in the year and 5 months we have been dating was like 5 days! So 2 WHOLE months is going to be so hard! I pray that I will not get horrible homesickness and I am able to enjoy this amazing opportunity to be with those kids and have fun!

In March for Spring break, David FINALLY got to visit my grandparents at their house on the lake in Many, LA. I have been wanting us to go there for a weekend for a really long time. So, we went and ate awesome food, hot tubed, played ping pong, pool, and scrabble. It was a really nice weekend. And I am so happy we got to go!

OH and totally awesome toga party was on March 25th. =]

David and I in our Togas!

On April 2nd Davids family and I went on a 7 day cruise to the Caribbean! It was the most amazing time ever! I am soo sad it is over! I really want to go back! David and I seemed to bond so wonderfully and I really got to know his family (whom are AMAZING people that I love to death!) It was a long cruise, and I enjoyed every minute of it, even though I caught the flu with 102 degree fever and congestion and headache and everything of the sort about half way through the cruise. However, that didn't stop me from having the best time I could! I Kayaked and Snorkeled and shopped with this thing! There was no way I was going to let it keep me down! If I sat here and wrote about everything that happened, it would take HOURS. So, I won't. Since this blog is mainly for me, and I am sure no one else REALLY reads through this, I actually hand wrote in a little journal about all that happened on the cruise. =] I'll put cruise pics at the bottom! =]

After the cruise, I felt really depressed. I am quite certain that that is a common habit of people just getting back to the real world from a wonderful vacation as that. I still sometimes feel sad, but I am getting better as time goes on. I think my sadness sometimes is mainly just stress from the expectations that are set on me because I am graduating and getting ready for the career part of my life. It is going to be so different not being in school. I mean, think about it! I am 23 and will have been in school practically my whole life (along with everyone else in the world). So, leaving the school life and going into the career life is going to be so different. And I am super scared. I am scared I won't make it. That career life is going to be horrible to me. I will admit though, I am soo happy David is in my life because him just being here to be my support that I can do this does help so much. I can't imagine how I would feel without him here to tell me I can do it. Whatever happens, happens. I am going to try my hardest to not be scared. And just do what I need to do. Time never stops, so the fact that every day is a new day will always be here. And I can't let anything that doesn't go completely as planned let me get me down. It will always work out.

So, 2 weeks till graduation. 1 month till I leave for the summer. 3 months till I get started career/job wise.
Speaking of career. Just an update. I am still doing Texas Teachers, but I won't be able to finish before fall starts. So what I am predicting is that I will be working back at PetSmart for a while as well as subbing (to get my foot in the door of principals, AND to get experience). Which doesn't bother me. I almost want to do it this way. I want to take things slow. I am afraid I will be too overwhelmed if I start out so soon at teaching. I need more time to gain experience and learn. I just can't go straight into it. But like I said. Whatever happens, happens.

David is going to graduate in the fall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just HAD to say! We will get to start our dating lives out in the career world soon! That will be different. =]

OH. And David and I are going to get our own apartment on Aug. 1st. SO therefore, we have started looking and getting ideas of where we want to live. We are looking at 1 bedrooms, OR 1 bedrooms with a office. (which we REALLY need cause we have a LOT of stuff) I really want an office! So that's whats going on right now.

Well! That is it. Sooo much stuff is going on, and if you read this, please keep me and David in your prayers and that everything works out according to Gods plan. I just pray the stress stays to a minimum and that I can take on whatever obstacles come my way! This year is going to be so difficult and lots of new experiences are going to take place.

THANK YOU!
until next time

Here are a few out of 250 pictures that I took while on the cruise.

David and I in Castries, St. Lucia =]



Me on the beach at St. Croix with our ship in the background!


Me and David in the beautiful waters of St. Lucia!


This is David and I 20 ft. underwater doing the Sea Trek Helmet Diving Excursion at St. Maarten. It was a WONDERFUL experience! We held sea urchins and walked around on the bottom looking at coral and feeding 100s of fish!


Well, that was just a small taste of the islands. All other pictures are on my facebook. =]
