I'm ready .. well kinda.

So the new semester starts on Tuesday. And I'm ready to get it going and to get back into the routine of things again. I like staying busy with things to do. I DO know that there will be some changes this semester that needed to be made last semester. But like they say, we learn from everything.

I came home for the weekend to spend some more time with the family. I think it's a nice family break before I get busy again with things. Kinda bums mom and dad out that I won't be comin home as much this semester as they'd like. But then again, they also realized that I am growin up and that my attention is focused on other things & other people.

Hope everyone's first week back is a good one!! :]

Let's see how long it'll last .. .

Although we are only 14 days into the new year, let me just say, I hope it stays going this GREAT!

For New Years, I ended up staying in. I usually don't like to go out that night for the fact that people feel like that is a night that they can go crazy and not be responsible for their actions.So I stayed in with the family and watched the usual Dick Clark Special on TV. And then went to bed. *LoL*Being at home was nice for the break. I forget how much fun I have with my family. They are the ones that have taught me how to laugh through hard times and just go with the flow of life. It was hard to leave but I was more than ready to get back to the Falls and get back into a routine of things.

This past weekend I took a nice little trip to Fort Worth. Omg. So much fun! I got to meet up with so fabulous friends and have a great time. First off, Kalen met me at the hotel and we proceeded to go to dinner. Our shuttle driver took us to a very nice Mexican restraunt. So we pull up to this place and Kalen and I immediately looked at each other and thought "Oh geez. Can we afford this?!" But all in all, it was a fabulous place and lunch was uh-mazing! Our waiter, Javier, was the most awesome waiter ever. We had so much fun! We almost saw Carol Burnett that evening at that place. Pretty exciting just knowing that if we would have just hung around long enough, we totally could have become BFFE with her. She would have liked us. Our waiter, Javier, totally was hitting on Kalen. We thought for a split second he was gonna give her his number by the way he was acting. He pulled out the pen. He had the napkin. And then ... he started drawing! *sigh* Oh well. Next time Javier.. next time.

After a nice lunch, we strolled around downtown Fort Worth and chilled. It was such a nice Then by that time, my old roomie had called me and was ready to take me to dinner [PS - I felt like I ate all day that day .. ugh] so then she took me sight seeing for a bit and then we caught up on everything. What I liked most hanging out with her is that we acted like we had never been apart. We picked right up where we left and joked like it was old times. I enjoyed that SOO much. It's great when you can do that with friends. My hotel was pretty much amazing as well. It was modern day retro and lordy, this hotel seemed to LOVE flat screen TV's cause they were EVERYWHERE. I swear they would have put one in the elevator if they could. I swear.

Also got to spend some time with a certain special someone. It made for an uh-mazing weekend.

I haven't been this happy in a while. Things have just been going great and I hope it stays this way as long as it can. :) :)
