Happy Last Day of Classes!

Everyday I think about what I want to write but with everything going on I just havent got to it.

Yesterday was my last day at the courthouse. It was a push to the end to get atleast the bulk of my memo complete to handover. My last day meeting with the judge was monday, and as soon as he found out riley was in the navy thats pretty much all he talked about since his son is also a petty officer second class AW and on his way to Jacksonville. It was a good chat though. Im sad ill be missing both sentencings but I will certainly keep in touch. As boring as it may have been some days, I was greatful for the experience to improve my legal writing.

Today Im suffering through my last 2 classes and then I get to go work at Kimballs. Ive actually really missed it there and cant wait to see everyone. I get to be there next week too. woohoo. WNEC certaintly is torterous on my last day though, hot and bothersome. awesome.

in other news the movers are coming in 8 days and though it doesnt seem like I have much left to pack I have SOOO much to do, gotta get rid of the stuff im selling and organize the stuff m donating and start to get a good cleaning in. I wanted to be done before finals mode began but with classwork, babysitting, doctors, vets, and confirmations coming up  anddd trying to get in my good byes its been kinda busy.  Im certainly getting nervous for the movers since on last contact they said 9am when its supposed to be 2pm considering i have a final in the morning, im getting nervous. I just hope the money and stress of using them pays off. not that i wanted to move all that. the dining room is half full and i can only lift maybe 3 out of all of the boxes Ive packed so far. Last night the unfun that will be unpacking really hit me, especially trying to organize everything, setting up the guest room, and getting everything settled before riley leaves. wahhh. luckily he has a long weekend right around when the movers should be getting here so that will help :)

All I can say is I am thankful for my family and all the help they have given me and continue to give me.

Despite the looming sadness of the "D" word, I am quite excited for my party to see EVERYONE friends and family alike and to enjoy grinnin barrett with all of them. And all the awesome pinkness. oh there will be tonss of pictures. It will be wierd though flying and not having to do work on the plane, hellp reading for fun (while i still can before bar prep)

Other things I am excited about asides from the obvious is seeing my cousin and her two beautiful babies this week, seeing angelina the diva kick butt at t-ball, and the fact that I will have a friend all summer since Ashley got a job in jax!! Super excited about that and visitors, i cant wait for visitors in our beautifully beach themes guest suite! I cant wait to go out and get things for it, including the guest book, guest calander, anddd the new bed set since it will be a queen size! Many pictures to come when its fully decorated!!


Photo memories of the post theme: forever friendship with my golden girls<3

look how we've grown

 Yes, well that about sums it up

..and this too.. love you girls!

I get Misty

Well I can honestly say I'm sick of waking up to cold and rain. I need to get to jax now. Its making me super depressed, and being depressed makes me think of being lonely with out riley. Cant wait to get to snuggle up with him.. in the AC, cause its in the 80s and 90s there now.

And speaking of being depressed.. I joined the vp45 loved ones group. And I made the mistake of looking through old discussions and old posts form last deployment. Last night it was ok, but when I went on it again this morning I was flooded with emotion. I just completely lost it as I pictured myself going through what they went through. And it made me scared that I wont be able to be there for the welcome home since the navy doesn't recognize me as "family". I think that scares me the most. :( So needless to say, so much for my productive morning. that consumed my energy and my thoughts.

My sadness was mixed with anger on my commute to school this morning. stupid traffic, for construction they weren't doing, considering its raining for the millionth day in a row. Grrr reason # 622 I cant wait to get out of western ma/ new england. 20 daysss... weird i remember when I started counting around 274

Oh life, your really killin me today. Need my snuggle buddy, but ill settle for a skype date :/

Nerves of Steel

I dont have them yet, but I sure could use them.  Everything is really happening very fast. Other things have come up that worry me but we're not going to talk about them and hope for the best. I was semi-productive today in going to grad fest, deal with student loans (woof!) and i packed one more box! woohoo! Im way over what I told the mover, but if there going to over charge me, I will make it worth my while- so I will keep packing my overweight boxes and dream about sipping cocktails as they lug it all up to the third floor. But im realllyy hoping they don't break/ lose anything. ill kill a b*tch.

My favorite part of the day though is always getting to see/ talk to my wonderful boyfriend. despite my level of sadness he made great efforts to cheer me up and get a smile back on my face. my favorite was his little picture song. if only all his tough guy navy friends could see just how much of a sweetie he can be some times. speaking of which he also said he was sending me an easter basket. lets see if he remembers (hint hint ;)  ).

well anyways I also decided with this thing I would do atleast one picture memory per post so here we go. Todays theme is summer '10

T- 22 days and Counting

Well, Im sitting here after spending a better part of the weekend with friends and family, packing up my LAST apartment in chilly Massachusetts. I suppose as much as I hate to admit it, these is a few things I will miss about this place (asides from the obvious people). Like driving through the backroads in the fall when the leaves are changing color. However, Im a much happier person in the warm, sunshine, and the beach sand between my toes.

Our Hike up Mt. Tom

Evening walk on Neptune Beach <3

Im excited to start this next chapter of my life. Next month will be a whirlwind. I move to Florida and offically move in with the love of my life. I turn 25. I graduate from law school.. and I face my first deployment. I HATE that it happens almost as soon as I get down there, and I worry about alot of things that I've done my best not to think about like will I spend too much time wondering what he's doing? How often will we get to talk to each other? I know we've had lots of practice for this by almost always being apart but sometimes being limited to phone calls and skype dates gets sad :/


I guess the best thing to do is to try and be as positive as possible. I will get to put all my energy into studying for the bar, and I will be able to establish myself down there as an individual as well. Having to build up our relationship through mostly communication skills I think has definitely made us stronger as a couple. Despite him being a typical male at times, I appreciate our ability to connect and share things with each other. I know i'm getting kinda mushy but he really has become my best friend on top of being the love of my life. I really cant picture my life with out him. I cant wait to have "our family" all together and have all our furry little babies under the same roof (lets pray that goes well)


On top of being thankful for him, I am thankful for my wonderful friends and family, with whom I also could not have gotten through the last three years with out. I love being close to my family and I appreciate all they have done for me.
