My Graduation present from David!!

I totally forgot to mention what my graduation present is from David!! So, a few days ago, he gives me a graduation card, and as I read it, it begins to say something about getting a kitten for our new apartment in Aug!!! I WAS SOO EXCITED! So, we get to get a kitty for our very own when we move in! I already have a friend who has kittens that will need homes, and by that point, they will be 12 weeks, which will be perfect! =D They are black and white, black and tabby. We were thinking of getting 2 kitties and naming them Loki and Thor (from the marvel comic/new movie ((We had just seen the movie and thought of the names))). LOL Wouldn't that be so cool?

Oh, and this coming Saturday, we are getting together with my parents to celebrate my graduation. And I am quite certain that my present will be an Iphone from mom. lol She says I know what it will be, so therefore it must be an Iphone. I can't wait to get it! My phone SUCKS!

Also, Sunday morning, I will be leaving for Lifeguard Training for camp. I have to get up at about 5am and leave because it takes 5 1/2 hours to get there, and we need to be there by noon. I will only be there for 4 days, then I'll be back for a week, then I will be leaving again for the 2 months.

I gotta say there are some days when I feel sad about leaving for camp. And I actually regret applying. I kinda wish I didn't cause then me and David could be moving into our really nice apartment now, and I could just go work at PetSmart and all. But there are also days when I am excited to try something new. It will be a good experience and I am sure I won't regret it afterwards. I just REALLY hope those 2 months go by fast!!!

Packing Packing Packing.

The last few days, David and I have been packing all of our things. I sure have a LOT more crap than I thought I had. I am soo tired of packing. I am ready to be DONE! Tomorrow, David and I are getting a u-haul to bring all of our things to Don, Jon and Wes's house (which is where David will be living this summer while I am working at camp). All of our things will stay in boxes there until we move into our Apartment in August.

Here is a pic of what we have packed so far. Keep in mind that doesn't include our desks, bed, entertainment center, bookshelves and other miscellaneous items still in our bedroom, closet and bathroom.



I add a pic just cause posts are BORING without one! =]

Thursday, May 12th : David turned 24!

On Thursday, it was David's birthday! At 12:00am, I had balloons and decorations ready for him for when he got home from work to surprise him. I also had his cake baked, which was strawberry with vanilla icing.
The next morning, I left him some happy birthday notes before I left for school. He read them after he woke up. <3
That night, I surprised David by bringing him to Pete's Dueling Piano Bar, which is a GREAT place that is TONS of fun! I think David had a great time. The friends who went were Ricky, Drew, Emiko, Oscar, George, Jon, Melissa, and my mom.
Here are some pictures to show how much fun it was!

Tuesday, May 17th : Apartment search COMPLETE!

Today! David and I went to Lewisville today to search for an apartment for August. We left at 11:00am, and didn't finish till 8pm. We looked at about 9 apartment complexes. However, the last one we looked at, called Chapel Hill Apartments, was the one we picked. It was amazing! Not only was the apartment floor plans awesome, but the amenities are great!!! I have my hopes high for this place and I am hoping that this place is as good as it seems.

The one we picked is called Bryson, and it is a 1bed1bath w/ study. It is 877sqft and has patio and fireplace and full size washer/dryer connections. The bathroom seems really big and the overall layout seems great. (we didn't get to see this particular one, only the bigger one).
Here is a pic:


The community seems AWESOME! There are SO many Amenities!! Here is a list: 9 swimming pools!! Racquetball Court, Free extended cable!!, Tanning beds, Billiards/shuffle board, 2 Jacuzzis, Cyber café with 6 computers, 2 coffee bars, Outdoor fire place, Basketball Court, Clubhouse for parties, 2 big screen movie theaters! Tennis courts, Sand volleyball court, 2 FREE Car washes with vacuums, Flowing river, Playground, Fitness center (The Zone), Jogging trails, Storage units, Carports, Garages, TWO 1 Acre dog parks, Picnic grounds, 7 Hole putting green, Sports bar with Direct TV, Pond with BBQ pits, Dry sauna, Aerobic center, Massage room, Darts, Foosball, Frisbee golf, and daily curbside trash pick up!!

We signed the lease today! And move in on August 8. I sure hope that everything turns out great!!

Another great this is that the Lewisville PetSmart is RIGHT down the street, and I will be talking to the manager (which is Brad! A manager I had at the Irving PetSmart) about getting a job. (I will be also be subbing while finishing my teaching certificate)

Anyways...I am sooo excited! I still can't believe David and I are getting our own place. It is going to be awesome. It was a great feeling signing that lease next to him!!!

5 more days!

Well, 5 more days till I will be a college graduate!! Such a weird time it is.

I actually just took my 1st final, which was math. And I KNOW I failed it... I forgot my calculator and I really needed it. I am sooo worried about not passing math. I haven't done too well. It's 15% of the overall grade, so I am hoping that I did well enough on everything else to pass. I just need a D. Just a D. Then I will be able to graduate. At this point, I don't care about my GPA. I will still be able to graduate. I just want to get by. So I am meeting with my teacher to see if she can tell me what I have, and hopefully be able to graduate. I am quite stressed.



Took this pic the day I bought my cap and gown (May 5)

Other than that I have 1 final tomorrow, a project for a final due on Wednesday, and 1 final on Thursday. I just want to be done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had a huge pajama party at the house Sat night. For a friends birthday and someone I don't know's graduation party. It was fun, minus some stupid stuff. I dressed up from "Risky Business" scene.


David's shirt. I loved my socks!!! =D

David got an awesome job!

Today, David went in for an interview for Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas today to be a chef, and he got the job!!! The chef/manager REALLY liked David and told him how awesome he is and how he wishes they could hire more people like him. I am SO very proud of David, and this job is going to be wonderful for him because he is going to be able to work here as an intern, which will open up so many opportunities for him. I am so excited for him!! =D Go honey!!!

Petes Piano Bar

Last night I had a mother daughter day. We went to Ghengi's Grill (which was AMAZING and I really want to go again!) Then we went to Pete's Dueling Piano Bar. That place rocks! It was my first time going and I loved it because the whole time is just tons of entertainment! Singing, clapping, dancing, and a lot of audience interaction. There were like 5 bachelorette parties going on. And the entertainers had them come up to the stage periodically to embarrass them and what not. That place would be soo much fun for a bachelorette party! I am thinking of going there for mine! Well...one day...if I get married.

I only took like...4 pictures. So, here they are


My outfit for the night! =]
