Hey yall, 

It's a beautiful sunny day here in G-ville.  Hope everyone had a great week, I know I did!  My internship in Kindergarten ended last week so I have had a whole lot of "me" time this week while Cute boy has been locked up in the Law School library studying hard to Ace his exams.  I have been able to catch up on all my fave blogs like  Monograms and Manicures and Puttin' on the G.R.I.T.S.  Yall should check them out.  They are adorable preppy girls who love all my favorite things!  I have also successfully found a pair of Gator Blue peep toes to wear to graduation on Zappos.com!  yay! 

Also this week I have able to get back in a great morning workout routine and healthy diet.  What a great way to start the bikini season!  I love my new Nike plus that tracks my time and mileage on my morning runs.  I like to jog about 2 miles each morning before I come home and work on abs and arms on my yoga mat in front of the Today show.  :)  I love watching Hoda and Kathie Lee to start my day. The Nike plus is great.  When I plug my ipod in to my comp it automatically updates my stats on Nike.com.  Sooooo cool! You can even check them out through my Nike mini (The Nike girl running around on my sidebar).  Anyone who likes to run like I do should get a plus!  It rocks my world! 

Well, I'm off to Michael's to find SOMETHING to decorate my mortar board for graduation day!  I can't believe it's a week away!!! Yikes!  So excited to be Gator Alumni.  (Stay tuned after Grad day for fun Gator Grad pics with Albert and Alberta and my soon to be decorated cap and gown. )

Then, Cute boy and I are going home for a Braves vs. Marlins game after Grad Day!  Go Braves! Check out the adorable Hot Flops (View) Mom bought me for my Bday to go to baseball games with Cute boy!!!  I am a new Braves fan, so let me know where I can get more cute Fan gear! 

Boogie Down Yall, and go for a run!

rainy day

Hi all,

My, it is a terribly rainy day.  Although we were in need of a sprinkle here in G-ville, it has been over kill today! As my 23rd birthday is approaching along with my May 1st graduation date, I have been reflective on my college experience today.  So many great people I have met.  So many great athletic events I have attended.  I am forever a Gator even after I graduate and leave this town.  I love Gainseville, and it will always have a special place in my heart.  Luckily, I am not moving away just yet.  I have another year ahead of me while I complete Graduate School.  

Cute Boy are excited to find out where we will me living in the Fall and are planning are summer schedules.  There won't be much time to celebrate my graduation before classes and work will pick up again.  I will be on the lookout for more babysitting hours over the summer since I will not be able to work in the fall.  I will be completing my full-time internship in 2nd grade! I am so excited! 

Before I get ahead of myself with all my plans and upcoming celebrations, I must find some blue shoes to wear to graduation with my orange Lilly shift dress! I am on a mission... I also need to get decorating my mortar board so cute boy and the family can see me walk across that stage! How exciting! 

Hope yall are having a sunshiney day outside of Gainesville... 

Boogie Down,

Avoiding work

Hey yall, 

Spring Break was so much fun, I just can't seem to get back in the school routine.  Cute boy and I went on a fabulous cruise on Royal Caribbean to the bahamas and the keys, which I highly recommend.  It was my very first cruise and we had a great time!  Here are some of my fave pics from the 4 day trip.  I loved working on our tans and getting fancy for the yummy dinners each night.  

Only 3 weeks of my kindergarten pre-internship left!  I cant believe how quickly this semester has flown by.  I have learned so much, and will really miss my students.  This experience has really helped confirm my passion for teaching.  Tomorrow my partner and I will be teaching our final lesson.  Graduation is May 2! I can't wait to make my family proud and call myself Gator Alumni!  I am planning how I will be decorating my mortar board so the fam can't find me at graduation.  Any cute suggestions?  I am thinking an orange and blue monogram will be appropriate since I will be wearing my orange Lilly dress. 

Then, Cute boy and I are going to be here in G-ville together over the summer!  He has just accepted an Internship in Ocala (40 minutes from here) for the summer!  I am so excited that we won't have to be long distance while I start taking my Graduate classes.  I am trying to talk him in to getting us a puppy to keep me company when he is working 40 hour weeks... He said he would think about it.  :) 

I'll let you know if he comes through.  Oh, and my 23rd Bday is quickly approaching as well.  Let the party planning begin! 

Cheers! 

Boogie Down Yall,

Long blog break...

 

hi all!

after fining myself in a sick circle of blogs about babies and housewives i got jealous and decided to post to my own blog!  It has been a very long time! 

All is well here in the ville.  Cute boy and i are still going strong... almost 6 months of fun together! We love each other very much and have come to rely on each other for support throughout this rough academic semester. I am graduating in may! woohoo! he is in search of a law internship for the summer, i hate talking about it and don't want to grasp the idea of being away from each other for the summer.  he could end up anywhere, but i will be here taking summer classes to start my Master's program.  

Anyway, Im back! Here are some quick catch-up pics of us from the last 5 months :)

Oh, and Go Gators! We won the National Championship in January.  Cute boy and I have been attending all the Gator Basketball home games too... I had never been to a b-ball game before Cute boy, so this is "our thing" that i love. We have so much fun as Gator fans!

boogie down yall,

A family affair

Hi all.

Monday is here, so sad the weekend came to an end. It was one of the best so far this semester.  For Cute boy and me, the weekend festivities began on Thursday night in an empty whole-in-the-wall dive bar downtown.  We joined KTWag and her bf for all you can drink night.  Cute boy and I had lots of catching up to do since we did not lay eyes on each other at all during the school week. We both were busy catching up on school work and spending time with our friends.  Although I didn't realize it at the time, the 4 day break from each other was actually great for us.  We were so excited to see one another by the time Thursday night rolled around! Our night downtown was a great weekend kick off.  Friday the bars were also pretty empty since many Gator fans had travelled to Tennessee for the away game on Saturday.  I tagged along with Cute boy and his fraternity brothers around midtown since BFrazz was out of town and KTWag was dog-sitting for a friend.  At BALLS we drank well cocktails, stood on benches and belted out the power ballads of the 90's.  It was great!  I kept up with the boys pretty well for a 5 foot-nothing sorority girl.  Nobody got too crazy though out of respect for the Gators and their big away game the next day.  Saturday was a great day for a Florida football game. Cute boy's family was in town and watching the game with us.  So I put on my cutest game day orange and blue, made seven layer dip and skipped over to Cute boy's house to meet the parents and watch the Gators dominate the Vols! WhooHoo! Everyone loved my dip and was super nice.  I'm so happy I got to meet his family while they were up here visiting.  

As if that wasn't enough excitement for one weekend, the next day I dragged Cute boy to St. Leo where my younger brother goes to school to meet my family.  I didn't think he would actually come since we had to wake up early and he would miss the majority of the Dolphins-Patriots game on Sunday afternoon.  But he came with me anyway, which means so much to me.  In just a few short hours he was able to sense that I am a clone of my mom who is also my best friend.  And that my brother and I are siblings that actually get along and like each other.  My dad even called me out during lunch for liking Cute boy so much that I was extremely nervous to meet his family.  Thanks Dad! Altogether it was a really great day.  Nice to see the family, happy they were able to meet and approve Cute boy.  The Dolphins beat the Patriots.  And we had a great bonding sesh in the car from St. Leo back to Gville. 

The awesome Family Weekend came to an end.  Now back to busy school work and tri-training.  The big race is only 4 weeks away! Cute boy and I are going on a dinner date tonight but the rest of my week is going to be pretty lame.  Im going to have to hold off on having fun until the weekend when my brother is coming up to watch the Gators play Ole Miss here in the Swamp! 

Go Gators! 

Boogie Down yall,

A Gator Game-less Weekend

No Gator game this weekend to celebrate so we made our own social activities.  Friday night B.Frazz and I went out early for drinks.  We had barely seen each other this week and needed to catch up.  Then we met up with Cute boy and his friends after enjoying a few very cheap pitchers of beer.  We went to a less crowded bar where the boys could play beer pong as the girls chatted on the sidelines and cheered them on.  GPod, Bfrazz's bf, was also there with his close friends, so there was lots of blending of the friend groups. Very exciting! We had a great time there and proceeded to walk home at closing time.  Barefoot of course, those heels were hot but not so great for the journey home.  Sat morning we (Bfrazz, Cute boy and I) hit up one of our fave Gainesville breakfast places, Peach Valley, (also G.Pod's work place) for some yummy recovery scrambled eggs.  B.Frazz has always been on "Team Cute boy" and is very excited to see us hanging out more and more.  

Later in the afternoon we caught some rays by the pool.  It was fabulous to get some sun after a very rainy couple of weeks.  While we were there we planned a lovely evening to host a football party.  We invited friends over to our Mousey Housey to watch USC slaughter OSU.  It was not a very exciting game, but we were happy to see OSU lose. Bfrazz and I love to hostess, and arranged for a table full of delicious apps that went very quickly once the gang arrived.  We also ordered pizza and had plenty of beers to keep the boys happy.  Im happy that Cute boy decided to come so he can continue getting to know the rest of our friends. He is just so great and always knows how to put a smile on my face.  We already have planned our week of upcoming TV shows, so excited! And we are working on getting tickets to the Brad Paisley concert in October.  Yay!

Now that we have cleaned up the house after our little shindig, I must get to my homework before going to babysit this afternoon.  Have a great week! Next Sat. the Gators play the Vols in Tenn. 

Go Gators! 

Boogie Down Yall!
