Updates: Three Big Things

Hello everyone! I survived Junior Year! Now I'm going into my senior year, and then big girl life starts which is terrifying!!! Also, I have fallen in love with the exclamation point, which I'm sure I used a million times in my old posts. However, the love has grown like an annoying tumor pressing on my excitement gland! That's a thing, right?

Anyway, I am alive and well and I want to get back into the swing of things. Hopefully I can set aside being lazy and actually start updating on Wednesdays again. So before we get into more craziness I have some updates to share with you all.

1. We moved to a nice apartment

The Hatman and I on the stairs of our loft.

I only posted one blog after we moved, and I never actually mentioned moving as far as I know. I love our new place! It's a loft (so chic) and there is a lot more room. My fiancé (I'll get to that in a sec) and I are not clambering over each other to get to places in the house, and the best part is.... NO MORE LEAKY ROOF! Hah! It's the best perk of the whole place! I never feel like my ceiling is going to fall in on me. Honestly, everything about this place is better, except for our weird neighbors. Can't win them all I guess....

2. We got a new dog

She's not quite sure how to dog....

 This is sort of a bitter sweet thing. We rescued a Lab/Golden Retriever mix in February. Her name is Raven and she's just over a year old. This dog is a pain in my rear.... I'm more than willing to bet that she's not all there mentally, because she does just the strangest things and her mannerisms are very particular. She has made a relatively good addition to our little family, and we do love her very much even if she's constantly touching you no matter what you're doing. Always touching you. Always.... I really don't think you understand when I say 'always'.

3. I got engaged

Dis' be my rock.

My boyfriend asked me to marry him when we were on vacation in Austin! It was really sweet and private. He asked me at the Zilker Park Botanical Gardens. It was beautiful, and he was nervous and shaking the whole time. I cried like a baby for about twenty minutes. It was kind of funny, because we couldn't find the gardens at first. It took us an hour before we finally figured out that our GPS is half retarded. Anyway, I was SO HANGRY by the time we got there, and I was in the worst mood. He did a really good job of turning it around. I'm sure slapping a ring on any girl's finger would make them forget all their troubles for a moment or two. Plus, he took to me to swanky restaurant for lunch where they make their own home brew. I am very excited to start a new chapter with him, and be Mrs. Holland!

So anyway, those are the three big things that have happened since I last had the time and the brain power to blog. I am very excited to get into this again! I always miss being creative, or sharing my thoughts. I apologize for the lack of witty metaphors and what not, but I promise I'll bring my 'A' game next time. This was more about catching up with my life....

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
