Guess where we're going..

I'll give you a few hints:

That's right, we're going to New York City! As soon as Spencer takes his last final, literally, we'll be on our way. Neither of us have been to New York, so when one of my best friends from back in the day invited us we jumped at the chance! This is a much needed trip and being able to look forward to it helps make school seem a little less daunting. We are crossing our fingers that we'll get on cash cab, how awesome would that be..wish us luck ha!

flowers make me smile

I've been stressing out lately more than usual, mainly because I have this debate going on in my head that I thought was over about what I should do with my life. Now that I'm getting close to graduating and having to decide what I want my next step to be I'm panicing. Before I was set on grad school and then I made a switch to nursing instead and now I'm not sure if I switched for the right reasons..anyways the point is I'm stressing out and really want a break but I can't have one in fact each semester at least in this next year is progressively getting busier and harder than the last and I feel like I'm on the verge of my breaking point. Spencer being the great husband that he is surprised me with flowers and a treat last week because he thought it would help, and it definitely did. It's surprising how something so small can make you so happy. All week whenever I look over at those flowers it makes me smile and just for a second I forget all my worries. Thanks Spencer for being so sweet, I love you!

One Of Those Days

Do you ever just have one of those days..you know where things just seem to go badly. Today might just be one those days. I don't know what I'm less excited about the fact that it's snowing or that spring break is over and my brain does not want to cooperate. Maybe thats why when I walked out my door to go to class, I slipped and fell in the mud ripping my favorite pair of jeans and cutting a huge gash in my knee. I think my brain had a plan to prevent me from going to class and if so it worked cuz here I am blogging instead. Its to bad that I'm not so into the whole ripped jeans thing otherwise they'd look brand new, on the upside though I bought a new pair of jeans this morning before the whole fiasco. Anyways I just hope this isn't a sign that I'm going to fail my test tonight, who gives a test the first day back from spring break anyways, lame!

Grand Opening




If you've never been to Sunflower Market then you are missing out! I have been wishing that there was one closer to me ever since I found out about it and it has finally come true!! Spencer and I headed over there a few days ago and filled our cart with tons of fruits, veggies and other yummy food. There slogan is 'Serious Food, Silly Prices' and it couldn't be more right on, it's like the cheaper version of Whole Foods but the products are just as good.


Along with the new Sunflower Market opening the new Whole Foods opened just down the street. As much as I do love the Sunflower Market we decided to go check out the new Whole Foods because it just looked so big and I had heard some good things about it. It was pretty sweet, but way to crowded we had a hard time trying to make our way around all the traffic. But I made a discovery while I was there, one that I am so excited about.
A few years ago I had a professor that used to bring us all sorts of goodies, and my favorite thing she use to bring were these dried mangos. Now I've had dried mangos many times but they've always been sweetened, and the ones she'd bring weren't and they were soo yummy. She got them from trader joes which is a store we don't have here but should, anyways I've never been able to find them until now! The new Whole Foods has them and I can tell you that I will be frequenting there often because of it. If you've never tried them GO and get some they are such a yummy snack and as far as I'm concerned guilt free.

Locked Out

I realized in the middle of my class that I forgot my keys (this is not the first time it's happened) and of course I couldn't concentrate on anything my teacher said after that because I was to busy plotting how I could get in, I really thought to myself..'hey you have a couple bobbypins in your hair, picking a lock doesn't seem to hard they do it in the movies all the time.' Uhh doubt it..although I am very tempted to try.
Anyways, so if you don't know, to get into our building you have to be buzzed in either by using an electronic key or by calling one of the apartments. Well luckily I brought my phone with me because most days I just leave it, so at least I could buzz myself into the building. So I walked home and crossed my fingers that the apartment manager would be in his office, and luckily there he was walking in at the exact same time. Hallelujah!
He recognized me of course and even remembered my apartment number from the other times i've needed his help...kinda embarassing. On our way to my apartment he assured me that I was not the only one and that there was even a lady who needed him to unlock her door at least once a week ( she blames it on her kids who she claims locks her out all the time..how sad is that!) anyways it made me feel less dumb.
However I'm still puzzled on where my brain might be because for quite sometime I have been more than forgetful. But I am very thankful that at least when it comes to forgetting my keys we have an apartment manager to help out when my brain decides it's going to go on vacation, I just wish it would take me with it.

Spring Fever

What a great way to start out the month of March! It is BEAUTIFUL outside maybe this is a sign that the snow is over..yeah right wishful thinking I know, but a girl can dream! Either way I'll take it, I can't tell you how excited I am for spring, as much as I love my uggs I want to be wearing flip flops and florals! I hope everyone gets the chance to enjoy today even if only
for 5 minutes.
