Lovely News..

so for a long while I stopped blogging and started writing in my journals, short fiction and poetry, some of which have been chosen to be published and have won a few contests. I also ended up releasing my own poetry chapter book after one of my cousins passed away. Right now in life, the sun is shinning. I'm about to marry my best friend, April 4th, we're starting our lives together and it feels like a lovely cool breeze has blown over our lives. everything just feels so blissful, and I feel like sharing it with everyone.
I want to try to keep this blog alive and going, with personal stories of our everyday lives from being lazy at home, to going out to shows or traveling the world. In fact, this past February, I was in Hawaii for two weeks with Nic, it really was paradise. I'll also be adding posts of book reviews, if you don't know, I work at a book store. And maybe some DIY projects too, especially with my wedding being very DIY, ill post those projects here too!

I'm ready to bring this back :]

Back to Vegas and a New Niece

So we went to Vegas again, home away from home, and we planned on getting a hotel room at the Flamingo on the strip which we did, but the best thing happened. They upgraded us to a huge pretty much an apartment suite on the top floor :] oooh yeah. It was amazing, huge! Big screen tv in the living room, a dining room, two bathrooms, a dressing area and a bed room with a king bed :] and a beautiful view!!!! When we got to our room i seriously gasped at just seeing the huge double doors haha :] Vegas was having some great weather, all in the 90's, sunny with a small constant breeze and the perfect weather for pools and dresses. Oh and i had the best pineapple mojito at Caesars Palace, it hit the right spot :] got a dress and a jumper at H&M. The dress is black with tiny white flowers and the jumper is a light beige color :] Oh so the flights over there were a little scary this time, for me at least lol Nic was calm while i was digging my nails into the seat. There was cloudy and stormy weather leaving so there was a bit of turbulence, and it freaked me out, especially where the lights were going on and off haha. a fantastic trip :] now i'm ready for Florida beaches!

Oh, and, my niece was born May 8th, 7lbs and super small!!

Her name is Nevaeh.

Now Vegas!

planning and what not

So i've been a bit busy lately, mainly planing for trips, maybe tagging along on tours and getting my college classes, FASFA and everything in order. I'm the type of person that wants to, has to and must plan beyond in advance so I can feel calm, relived, and just all around better about everything happening. I have to write it all down, force the boyfriend to listen to my super planning haha, i'm pretty sure he doesn't mind at all since the plans include him.
So the trips, i'm so excited for our traveling these coming months!! Even though being on a plane more then terrifies me, it's kind of fun, like a roller coaster. Scary, but ya do it anyway. Well, were off to Vegas for valentines day! I can't wait, even if we've been before, i love watching the Bellagio fountains :] the crazy pirate show at Treasure Island, and this time I can gamble! I'm going straight to the StarWars game! And were staying at Caesars Palace! So were also going straight to H&M :] Then later next month were going to San Francisco! One of the places i've always wanted to see and wonder around in! Hopefully the weather will be nice because were going to be doing a hell of a lot of walking. We're going to be there for about two days I think and then head over to Tahoe from there. Snow! I'm not sure if im going to try snowboarding, mainly because you have to rent a board and I dont know how much that'll be. But i'm going to go crazy playing in the snow! I'm going to make a snow man :] got to do it at least once in my life! That's it for February. In March Gabe and Verg are are suppose to be having their wedding on St. Patricks Day, green beer and all! And they want Nic to play at the reception! But after hearing the whole band SecondLovers on the radio she wants the band haha she said " i have to, have to, have to have SecondLovers play at my wedding!". Yup! I don't know how thats going to roll, but we'll be in Raymondville for like two days. Then in May were back to Vegas for some fun. And we may end up in Florida in May too! I actually get to see a real beach, not a poop beach like we have here! :]
Now classes. I'm doing my FASFA super early so i'm hoping that i get my financial aid early too. If all the money things happen on time, ill be done with my associates degree in 3 semesters :] that's  not including summer classes, but i'm hoping to take some :] I'm also considering getting a degree in Digital Communication- Web Publishing Specialization. That's still up in the air but it's an idea that i'm considering very seriously :]
yay planning!!!

The wonder lust bug..

So like I said in an earlier post, I'll be doing quite a bit of traveling next month with boyfriend :) and I'm oh so excited!! Up until late last year I hadn't really traveled. Drove over to Austin and San Antonio but never somewhere far, somewhere I needed a plane to get to. And so, we went to Vegas!! It was amazing, of course I was under 21 at the time so we did the touristy things they had all around the strip but it was awesome still! Well, February we will be going to Vegas again for valentines day :) for about two days and were staying at the coolest hotel!! Then later in the month were probably (hopefully!!) going to SanFran!! I've always wanted to go! My family lived around there for a while but I hadn't been born yet. And the best part is that it will be the Chinese new year festival!!! :) o hear it's quite an amazing adventure :) and then after a few days there we will head over to Tahoe!!! Yeah!!! Snow!!! Real freaking snow!! :) I'm beyond excited, I'm ecstatic!! I get to make a snow man, I'm hoping to try snowboarding!! I'm going to have a million pictures to show from February :) I need a lot more photo albums because I want all these printed :) it's going to be a tiring, busy, chaotic, wonderful month :)
