Is this a dream!?

I am sitting here at my breakfast table eating a bowl of cereal a

going over yesterdays events and continually pinching my arm to see if I wake up.

With graduating in 7 day, I have applied to about 15 or so jobs.

I have become frustrated, discouraged and stressed with the constant applications, 

the constants changing of cover letters and the constant, printing of resumes..

Well 2 weeks okay, I got an amazing email telling me to come in for an interview.

I was anxious and nervous and practiced interview questions with everyone.

I picked out my nicest business suit, and pulled all my materials together and headed in.

My interview was about 45 minutes and at the end 

they offered me the job!! 

Right there.

Full time with benefits in my field of study!! I can not believe it!!!

I am completely and utterly amazed. I am so excited, accomplished, and just in awe!!

I want to thank everyone who encouraged and supported me.

You are all the best!!

Sometime he is a pain in the butt, and then sometimes he goes and does this...

I have had quite the eventful last few days. 

It all started out with going out to eat with {fiances} mother.

This was very interesting and awkward and not much was said to me, but I guess its a start.

Then it was {fiances} birthday. We had such a good time!! We headed to the city, and had a great time. 

On the way back we stopped at Yankee Candle, because there is not one by where we live. 

Mind you {fiance} is obsessed with anything that smells like blueberry or grape, therefore he insisted on getting some candles. Well I decided that I had been wanting a tart burner for a while, so what the heck. So we pick out way too many tarts, and I get scents such as Bahama breeze, sage & citrus, and my new favorite soft blanket

and {fiance} picks out, blueberry, blueberry scone, vineyard )which smells just like grapes, and root beer float.. No I am not kidding it smells just like root beer! So I like him get the, and be all giddy because its his birthday.

So the next day, I leave for work and he tells me he is gonna light them. Okay fine.

So he has to go to work later so I told him to blow it out before he starts getting ready for work and once its totally cool to pop it in the freezer for about 15 minutes (Makes the tart come out super easy).

Does he listen? NOPE?

He puts the thing right in the freezer right after he blows it out, and tells me this like two hours he went to work. So freaking out thinking my new tart burner is cracked, I stop by on my way to job 2 to check. 

I didn't end up seeing any cracks due to the fact that it was frozen to the bottom of our freezer and I couldn't get it out. So I tell {fiance} to defrost the freezer when hes home. So what happens? I get a call at work next tell me that he got the tart burner out and its fine. Sweeet, so I told him to make sure he put the freezer setting back on cold. This is where he informs me that he just dumped hot water on the tart burner in the freezer to get it out! Hhahah omgoodness, I told him luckily it didn't crack but don't you think that if going form hot to cold would crack it, going from cold to hot might crack it too? This thought didn't cross his mind at the time!!

Silly boys!!!

So then, I come home to this:

He is too cute for words!!!

On top of all of this, then i found out I passed the NCE and as long as I pass internship, I will be a national certified counselor!!!

{Sigh of relief x 2000}

Hope you all had an amazing long weekend!!!

xoxo!

New Goodies.

So in the midst of writing my paper, 

which I am half way done mind you!

I took a run to de-stress, clear my mind and probably keep what sanity I have left!!

Well half way through my run, I started to get a little blister, sadly as I continued it became worse and worse. 

This was the third run in a row I had started to get blisters, so I thought to myself..

It's probably time to get a new pair of running shoes!
So I headed to the mall and picked up these badboys!

I can't wait to take them out for a spin!!!

Have any of you had any experiences with these shoes!?

They are super light and are suppose to be great for training for marathons and half marathons!!

I'll let everyone know how they are once I break them in!

♥

So I was feeling a bit guilty about spending the 80 dollars that I had to on these, but feet are important, and running is my one favorite hobby, so although it was justified, I still felt bad. 

Well luckily my roommate came up to me and told me that he had over 700 dollars left on his meal plan and that he wouldn't be able to spend it by Saturday {the last day we have to spend our meal plans}

So we headed to the campus cafe {mini-mart/ eatery} to spend the money.

Mind you its ridiculously overpriced, but if we didn't spend it the school got it for free. 

Therefore we splurged.

Made sure I took one from a different angle so you can see just how much we got. 

I am basically set on toothbrushes, toothpaste, tampons and sodium filled non perishables for quite sometimes.

Therefore, this even further justified me spending money on new shoes!!!!

This picture oddly reminds me of Becky at From Mrs. To Mama, except no coupons were involved, but hey it was free to me!
Needless to say today was quite the productive day. 
Not to mention I also got a free pair of undies from Victoria's today!!
Well off to get in atleast another page before I go to bed!!

Don't forget to enter my giveaway!!!

Please Excuse My Mini Absesnce

It's finals week

I only have one more paper to write. 

But mind you its a 25 paged paper.

Then the fiance and I graduate on Saturday!!

I'll be back to posting aspa!!

In the mean time, stop by my giveaway!!

xoxo!

Weekend Filled With Work

 A few months ago, I posted about a huge test that I had to take in order to be able to graduate from my program.

[which you can find here.]

I didn't think I did very well on the test, but I passed so I was super excited.

Well on Saturday, I has not take another huge test for my degree. This test I didn't need to be able to pass my program but it was quite important and much more expensive.

So once again, I am sitting here completely and utterly clueless about how I did.

I probably should have studied more but I just had no time due to other school work, internship and work.

Maybe if I had a girly, calming studying area like these:

I'd be more tempted to study.

However, in 8 weeks I'll find out what the results are!

Due to this test, my entire Friday and Saturday morning were completely filled with studying and practice quizzes.

Then working all night after that.

Today my day does not consist of running the half marathon that I wanted to run 

[even though the wind is outrageous right now]

but today I am sitting in front of my computer all day inputting data.

At least I am getting paid for it, but still, I can think of things I would much rather be doing!!!

At least tonight my soon to be brother-in-law [my fiances identical twin] are going to see Scream 4 together.

I had to be able to do something fun this weekend and fiance is working all day!!

Well this was a little rant of my over-productive not so fun filled weekend.

Next weekend should be a blast though.
Going home for Easter, bridesmaid dress shopping, picking out invitations, nieces birthday party and grandparents coming to visit!!

Can not wait!!

Thanks, for everyones input on the dresses. I will be sure to post when I pick one!

How is/was everyone's weekend?

xoxo.

Making Moves

As hard as it was to achieve.

1. I think {f} & I have finally created a routine for our week.

So {f} and I basically have 14 hour days, between internship, class and work. It is in now way fun, but its doable. 

It's come down to settling for early nights and even earlier mornings, seeing very little of each other, but when we do its meaningful and perfect!!

Due to my 14 hours day on Valentines Day. We will be celebrating on Sunday. A dinner and a movie, then exchanging some sweet little gifts. I got him a hoodie, new snowboarding goggles and after complaining that there are no good candle smells and he wishes they would just make blueberry candles [because we burn candles everynight] I got him a fun scented blueberry scone candle and some candy of course!!

 2. I am trying to get back in the routine of running with my very hectic schedule however this is not as easy as I anticipated. Tomorrow will be the first time I ran all week. I am going to try to increase this once a week running to at least 3. This means however, that I will have to start waking up at 5:45. The price we pay for beauty right..
I am hoping for a nice 2.5 mile run tomorrow!
3. After months of deliberation, I believe I am going to go to Med School. I know I talk about how over school I am, but in all actuality, I want to help people, and although I can help people by being a therapist, I believe that I can accomplish alot more good with being a psychiatrist!
It is going to be a very long road. But I believe I will be taking the journey after our wedding. 
4. I apologize again for my lack of blogging. I think once I create a stable routine I will be back to blogging at least 3x a week. However, right now bear with me while its only one!!

Retail Therapy

A not so happy day today.

If you remember from a few post back, I had a huuuuge test today for my program.

Ugh, I don't even want to write about it because it will make me think about it again, but it didn't go so well..

At least i don't think it did, but I won't find out for a few weeks.

However, I can retake it if I did poorly so that is a plus.

...

So after a little bumming today, i decided to do a little shopping.

Old Navy is currently having a sale of 30% off everything in store, so I picked up a cardigan and a couple tank tops.

Gah, I am pretty much obsessed with this color. Its like a robins egg blue.

So fun for spring. 

I intend on doing a little more shopping tomorrow and will post what I get.
♥
Also, I have been religiously living at the website Hautelook lately, which is a fun website with tons of huge deals on some great items. Although some things are a bit out of my price range not all of them are unaffordable. Tthere are a few things I want so bad this being one of them:

Glam Rock Women's Miami Watch

Friendly Holiday Weekend!!

Finally, I finished my semester of strong on Thursday evening after a nice pot luck dinner where I found out I got an A on everything in the class!!
So far for grades I have 3/5 classed up and they are A's. 
Hoping for two more!!!
♥
So since the semester ended, after working 8am to 1:30 and then babysitting from 2 to 3:30, my fiance and I packed up and headed home for the weekend for our busy holiday fun.

 

So it takes a quite about 3 hours to get from school to NYC, so we quickly drove to a hotel party where I was meeting a my best friends<3
 We had such a good time, and here are some pictures from the event!!

Wedding Wednesday # 4

So not too much to report this time, but a few more things have happened.

I am finished with my 3rd semester for graduate school and can not wait to be done for good.

Finals were kills, and sleep was scarce, but after sleeping 11 hours last night, I am ready to go.

I called 2 churches today and left messages trying to set up times to meet this weekend.

Hopefully they will call me back soon.

♥

This weekend we are also getting our engagement pictures taken. 

I can not wait to see how they turn out<3

♥

This weekend we are also going to be registering for some wedding/bridal gifts!

I am not exactly sure who were gonna register through yet, but the whole experience should be a ton of fun.

♥

Busy weekend and thats not even all of it. I also have two holiday parties!!

Fun<3

xoxo. 

Papers, Papers and More Papers and an Award

2 weeks 6 days and counting!

That's all I have left for school this semester.

Not like I will have much of a winter break considering, I intend on getting two jobs, if I can ever find one studying for the NCE, which is the National Counselor Examination. 
However, I have 3 papers, one which I am working on right now. I am currently on 18 pages and trying to reduce it to 15 and still have another paragraph left. It just a re-edit of the paper we had to write last semester, and you just tweak it to add the experiences you've had from this semester as well.  It started out at 22, so I am making some progress. 
I also have 2 tests left, one take home and one open book in class.

I think I can, I think I can...

So I am having an awfully difficult time trying to find a part time job for the holiday season/next semester. I will be entering into full time internship and will need a job, because the job I currently have is during the day..

Hmph. 

I have quite a lot of retail experience, but it seems that no one is hiring near me!

Just keep trying!!

5) I am going to a fancy gala soon & going to be wearing a long beautiful black and grey dress and can not wait get all done up!! [Pictures will be posted!!]
