Rosettes, Foxes, and sweaters oh my!

I think I found a few things I am going to buy when they go on the cheap after Christmas!







For those that know me well, they know I LOVE foxes.  On Gary's birthday, we saw one on the way home.There was no one behind me so I stopped the car to look at it for a couple minutes(from the safety of the car). I mean, c'mon, how can you not think these are adorable?







I am [blank]

I am weird because...



I hate smells of any kind.
I have panic attacks more often than I would like to admit.
I would rather go to school than do most hings in life...which is probably why I am going to school to be a teacher.
I want short hair but my friends say they would laugh at me and call me a boy.
I dance horribly. See here


I am a bad friend because...


I never return phonecalls or texts. 
I am horrible at saying what is on my mind.
I can't always open up and say what my heart is feeling.



I am a good friend because...


I would do anything for any of my best friends.
I see my friends as some of the most beautiful people in the world.
I would speed to take them to the hospital, run like a lunatic to every exit on the north side of the hospital to get them a wheelchair.
I want them to be the best they can be.

I am sad because...


I can't please everyone, and when I don't I feel like a failure.
I don't know how I am going to get everything done I need to get accomplished this break.
I know this holiday season is going to be very hard for my best friend.



I am happy because...


I get to see most of my family for Thanksgiving.
I have most of my Christmas shopping done.
I have craft ideas to do out the wazzo over Christmas break.


I am excited for...

Next semester's classes.
The New Year.
Christmas.
Thanksgiving.
Christmas shopping for the little boy I got for Secret Santa.

I am blessed because...
I have a great family (Mom, Dad, Patrick, Grandma Eddy, Meme, aunts and uncles, cousins, etc.)
I have a great fiance.
I have great friends.
Although, I don't have the biggest bank account in the world, I have enough that I can give to others.

Whew Have I been Busy

Sorry for not blogging in like 3483920483920 days.I have been consumed by homework, school in general, observing, working, etc.
Oh and ya know...GETTING MY FIRST CAR!
Yes,  I realize I am 23 and should have probably in most people's minds had like 5 cars by now, but I had issues with getting my license (it made me have panic attacks to think about it).  Truth be told I don't know when I stopped having panic attacks about it, but now I feel like I was so stupid for being that way.  Let me just say, waiting this long for a car was soooo worth it! I always thought it was weird when people loved their car so much, but trust me I love mine.
Here is a bit of what I have been doing since the last time I blogged:
Volunteering at football games:


 Going to homecoming with Gary:
I don't have pictures of all my observing for obvious reasons.

Now here are some pictures of my beautiful car!


My roommate and I have also decorated our room for Christmas! You do not know how much this pumps me up because last year I had a roomie who wasn't so keen on Christmas decorations. So obviously, this year I went all out.
Our front door:



Our Bulletin board:
 See that sign that says "Teaching is a work of the heart"?
Yeah, 49 cents at the Goodwill!




So that is what I have been up to! I will try to get back in to the blogging swing of things as soon as things get settled down!
