Fast Forward

So I haven't blogged everyday like I thought I would. I will try and work on that. I had to blog today, didn't have a choice. It just came out of me.

God is good. Karma is good. Paying it forward makes you rich in the end. Everything is okay in the end. Hmm....... So my life a year ago= I moved to the city from the country. I was hours away from people I knew. I lived in my little apartment, I couldn't drive anywhere without getting lost for an hour first, and I was told that I wouldn't be able to go to nursing school. I was told that I didn't even have a college degree. I fell apart. I had moved all this way to go to my dream school, and it didn't work. I was lonely. I was sad. I didn't know what to do....

Fast Forward=One Year Later
I am about to get married. I have the best guy in the whole world. We own a cute little house, and he is a daddy to my baby (Isabella the weiner dog). I have learned what it really means to love someone with all my heart. I have learned who my real friends are. And.... dumdadadum..... This morning school fell into place. NSU said that my degree was oficially posted to my transcript, and that my diploma is in the mail. And I enroll in grad school tomorrow, at the school I wanted.

So today-no pictures, no "this is what I did today", I bought this today. No. Today is all about how God is good, I am blessed, karma is good, and how paying it forward makes you rich in the end.

A Day in the Life...

Today was an all around good day. Clay leaves for work at 6am, and I usually go back to sleep until about 10am or so. I have decided that I am going to try and do better. I also decided that I am going to be a better housewife, well... stay-at-home-finacee'. Meaning that I am going to keep a clean house, cook meals at home instead of eating out, keep up with the laundry, and try out a new recipe every week. So this morning I cleaned my kitchen from top to bottom. So my kitchen might not seem impressive in the pic, but if you had seen it before, you would be thouroughly impressed. I took a break for lunch. If you can't tell by looking, it is frito chili pie. Yeah... this is what unhealthy people eat. After my unhealthy lunch, hehehe...., I put up a new pot rack in the kitchen. I think Clay's mom bought it for him. It was in his garage in a box when I moved in. So... tada!
I am a big ebay person, and I love a bargain no matter where it comes from. So the postman brings suprises a lot, especially wedding stuff recently. And today he brought our toasting glasses. I am in love with the Tara Collection from Things Remembered, and I got our glasses on ebay for around $4o. They came in this great black velvet box too. After Clay got home from work, and after dinner, we went to the mall for a quick little walk through. Clay had told me that I could get a few clothes, and I never complaing about hearing that. I only found one thing I couldn't live without. It is a polka-dot halter dress and it looks sooo great in person. I think it is gonna be my dress for our rehearsal dinner- with a red belt and peep toe red patent heels...... mmmmmmm! Clay got a Sports Illustrated Basketball book, but I though my dress would be more visually appealing:)
