Tribal Dance...

Body Jam- High energy cardio class. Choreographed to great music, you will learn to dance better too!

In my head I was thinking "hmm sounds like fun, easy cardio dance like moves" I was a cheerleader back in the day i could do that."

I walk into the class to find "DANCERS' stretching with their little dance shoes. and I thought to myself, crap can I still run out the door? What should I do? I can't really dance!

I decided to stay and the instructor walked in and then I really thought CRAP, I'm in deep trouble. She obviously was a really good dancer. I could tell because she was wearing baggy pants and a cool shirt. (good dancers wear baggy pants, well at least the ones i know). There I am in a sorority tshirt with my yoga pants on and Nike shocks. So i totally fit in! I struggled through the whole hour class, but at the same time had an unusually LARGE grin on my face. I loved it! It was so weird, at times I was TOTALLY embarrassed by my lack of hip movement and then at other moments I thought wow, this is really working by abs and butt :) I would have loved to hear what other people were thinking. Wow look at that blonde in that hot pink shirt, she can't move her hips at all. she looks like a drunk old lady!

I went back yesterday!!! Again it was so fun, I totally sucked again but i loved it! I really was proud of myself, I am not the type of person that usually steps out of my comfort zone, but i did it and I want to go back again! The Tribal dance move is my favorite. Next time you see me you might be able to get me to show you... I feel like i have totally seen it on TV before and I was so excited to learn it. I think its my best move, if I can say so myself. Its really tough now being such an unbelievably AMAZING dancer, I have to decide should I keep my day job or attempt to try out for do you think you can dance? Or maybe become beyonces back up dancer. I mean one of my favorite things to do is attempt the single ladies dance. Oh man, what a tough decision. I will let you know what I decide, or should I say just watch TV and you might find out!

I went to Tampa this past week for work and decided to stay with Brittany and big brother. (Adam) He now refers to me as baby sister :) If I could call him anything I would call him Big horchata brother. Long story but Adam and I had a great dance session, as Brittany sat there saying I was the WEIRDEST person she has ever met. (she was smiling though :)) It was a great few days staying with them, we also went and saw the john mayer concert. CRAP! I have a picture to add and I meant to add it first and then type above it!!! Sorry I haven't gone to see my brother yet, he will teach me he says. anyways the picture at the top is from the concert. Don't mind my albino red eyes :)

I am going to see Tanner on Thursday! I can't wait! One of the things I am most excited to do OTHER than see Tanner is sit at the airport for 5 hours. This is NOT a joke, I am dead serious when I say I want to do this. I did it once before at the airport waiting for tanner and I sat right where people walked out of the gates and where their families and lovers :) met them. It was so much fun! I definitely cried more than once watching all of these people greet their loved ones. I might whip out my camera and then post some pictures for you all. Not sure, is that illegal? Do I need to get their consent first? I can see it now... "yes excuse me sir that just proposed to his girlfriend at the airport.. i really like people watching in the airport and when you proposed I took pictures of you guys...can I have you sign this consent form so i can post it on a website."

You are a crazy lady!!! Said the man....

That's how it would play out in my mind... I will let you know how it goes!

Anyways its like -40 degrees there, I am really not sure what I am going to do. I might bring my comforter and wrap it around my body for when I have to step in the frozen tundra of a town called Quincy. I do hope it snows, so I can take pictures :) Don't you worry little friend, I will post pictures!

well my frozen pizza is done... I know I am such an amazing chef!

P.s. I am in such a good mood tonight. Honestly i think its because of the tribal dance. I am going to do it nightly before I go to bed. I woke up this morning not stressed about work, missing ty but soooo excited to see him in a few weeks. I stayed on campus throughout the downpour and am now home about to eat a Delicious Red Baron pizza. Life couldn't be better!

Busy Bee....

Hi There!!! So I have two pictures to start this post off, but you will have to read the blog to see what these pictures are and why i posted them. (because I cant figure out how to paste them at the end :) ) Cut me some slack...

So I have been quite the busy little bee the last few days.

A few accomplishments in the last few days:

* I am getting up earlier and becoming much more motivated when it comes to work! Definitely a plus as I am struggling with diving head first into this new selling season. I want a BIG year of sales so i have to work really hard!!

* I went and had a fantastic girls weekend in Jacksonville! It was so needed and I loved EVERY second of the weekend. The girls are so incredible and I wish I would have known them like 23 years ago because I really think they are spectacular and i could chat with them for years. (yes years, we could sit on the couch for years as long as we had food, raspberry elegance cake, diet coke, a bathroom, the bachelor and a few other necessities..maybe I said MAYBE our significant others :))

* I purchased my ticket to see my little brother next weekend. So excited to watch him play volleyball. i am such a nerdy proud big sister sitting in the stands. And you better believe I am there in full force with my MASSIVE paparazzi camera. There is a guy that works for the school that has a bigger lens. Not cool, I'm saving for one :)

* I have decided I'm going on a cruise with ty ty! I seriously can't wait. We are not going until the end of MAY. Seems like forever, but I am beginning to pack my bags NOW! Bikinis, dresses and that's about all I need.

* I am FINALLY going to buy paint with my fabulous mother tonight. She found my bed and we have ...ehh ummm, I have been delaying the process of buying the paint. But the painter is coming on SATURDAY! Yah.

* I am going to Tampa to see my sister. Really I have a work trip there starting tomorrow so I am staying with her! Very excited about this, Adam (her husband) will be cooking every meal for me, makes my bed, and buys me lots of cupcakes. JK but really im excited.

Tyler is doing great, he is living in Paradise. Its gorgeous! We talk about March and may pretty much every day, which is not good because it makes us so giddy. I have to say he is so great, he has been so supportive and just quite amazing to me as I frowned for the first few days, ok maybe even weeks. We are in week 3!! WOOOHOO!! He is such a studying stud..yes i said it. I am a very proud GF and know he will do great!!!

I will leave you will a couple pictures. One tylers back yard. SICK! and two a picture of what i want my hair to look like. oh yea and my face to look like....ok and my body....yes i would like to morph into Reese, Im not going to lie.

p.s. my mom was quite embarassed when she read my blog last week because I had some incorrect grammer and mispelled words. Wel mom i realy trullley apilogize for the erors. HEHE!! She has NO problems with TANNERS blog.. wonder who her favorite is.....There is definitly spelling errors in this one...SORRY! That was never my strong point in school :)

His is pretty funny though if I may say so myself......

p.p.s I bought the lady antebellum cd, its so GREAT! I love it!

p.p.p.s. just kidding, im really done.

Makona Sun...

If you were to tell me its only been 2 weeks since Tyler left, I would fight you to the end. It has felt this months and I hate that but I know it will get better. Tyler really likes it and has found some great friends down there. So happy he is adjusted. He took some pictures for me and I was thinking to myself, HEY you re supposed to be in Med School not on Vacation. You should have brought me on your vacation jerk! Pictures Above!

I have been working from home this week, which is sometimes good but I think it was bad this week. I am back on campus next week and become a slave of Pearson starting on Monday. So i think this crazy next few months will keep my mind of Ty. As much as I hate work, I appreciate the opportunity to work really hard and keep me busy.

Last weekend was my Friend Laurens Bachelerette weekend. Pictures above! It was a great weekend to spend with my girlfriends. We spent many hours laughing and talking. That is some of my favorite memories from college, talking for hours. My friend asked the question, How were we able to talk to like 5 hours on the couch and never run out of things to talk about for 4 years! We are quite incredible if you ask me!! It was a great weekend and it was our first bachelerette party for this group of girls! Great times. We had a friend visitor his name was Makona Sun. Very interesting.....a blast and so many great stories!!

That is really what I have been up to. Also my mom and I are redoing my bedroom :) When I am finished I will post pictures. Trying to keep busy and counting down till March. I seriously can't wait its crazy. Tomorrow will be 5 weeks left.

Another thing I am trying to do is really live in the moment. appreciate this stage of my life and enjoy it. I said this to a friend that this is what she should do, I then took a step back and said me too! I have AMAZING friends and an unbelievable family. A terrific job, a mom that lets me life at home and of course the love of my life. (I know I am so Corny)
But Seriously way too Lucky!!

January 12th

Today is a good day because January 11th is gone :) I hate being negative or sad about something and January 11th was a sad day. Tyler and I drove down to Miami on Sunday night and stayed there so I could take him to the airport in the morning. We were so glad we went the night before so we could just hang out alone before he left. UNfortunatly I stared getting knots in my stomach at around 9pm. All we had been discussing was his departure, everyone was calling saying goodbye and we had all been gearing up for this since September. It was a very tough day and I miss him already. I know people say oh this will be a good thing for you two. I want to say oh really you think so, 2 1/2 years living without him, yah that sounds like a great experience. NOT! I hate when people say this, ok maybe like 8 months would be good so we could experience life without each other but really 2 1/2 years. I could have children in 2 1/2 years and start a job and quit it by the time he comes home.

Anyways, work becomes busy TODAY. I am not excited about it and that is why I am laying in my bed blogging. I have 2 presentations and a lot of busy work that needs to be done by friday. I don't have the energy to get to work as I know it will start months of craziness but I have no choice and I want to make LOTS of money so I can become a island girl :) jk but really.

Life is going to go on today and I am happy because today i start the count down when I get to see him for a weekend!! I thought we werent going to be able to talk last night because we didnt think he would have service and he has to set up his internet. BUT HE DID! I was so excited when i got a text that he landed. Then also I was so excited when my computer made a funny noise. It was skpe and Tyler!!! It was hard to see him because the lighting wasnt the best and he was in a room with many other students but there he was with his little grin. It made my heart melt. When I left him standing on the curb at the miami airport with his huge bags and A MILLION spanish people I could see the fear and nerves in his face for the first time. That broke my heart, so seeing him there and safe made me happy. He was going to grab dinner with some of the students which also made me feel happy.

One last point, I have the MOST AMAZING friends I could ever ask for. I had an overwhelming amount of calls, texts and emails from my amazing girlfriends and it made me cry almost everytime i saw them. They are amazing women and I love them for being so supportive. I couldnt ask for better friends, I am so blessed.

So today Life goes on and I count down till I see Ty!!! I am already excited!!! This is much better than waiting for him to leave. Have a great week!!

New Year :(

Some might wonder why I say New Year :(, as most normal people are excited for a new year and a new beginning. For once in my life I am not, for good reasons. I have had such a fantastic year this year, filled with friends, love, family and great achievements. Tyler moved back from Tallahassee in January of 2009 and that was a great next step, as we had been doing long distance for 8 months. I hit my number for work on January 1 in 2009, and was very proud of my accomplishments. My big sister got married in November of 2009 and it was a great month to see all of our family and friends together.

Here are some pictures from some favorite moments:

A Cruise we took with Tyler's sister Ashton and her boyfriend Anthony. It was a great time!

ADPi's 100 year celebration! It was so fun seeing everyone together! This picture above is my Peeps. (my roommates senior year)

Another great weekend, was Peeps getting married! Such a fun time and a great group of girls!

This was a brittany's wedding, I had the best looking date there :) He was my rock during this week as it was CRAZY!

And of course, the biggest event Brittany getting married! It was so fun and we are so excited to have Adam in our family. Its weird I felt like Adam was part of the family even before the wedding, he just fits in perfectly!

Tyler leaves one week from today. It actually hurts to say or write that. I am an emotional person ALL of the time, I cry when I see a happy moment, Bawl when I see a sad moment and can usually cry at the drop of a hat. Its funny I find god is really testing me and I am really trying to make a life decision in the next few years. When Ty got into school it was just thought he would be there for 2 1/2 years and I would stay here. End of story. As the time has slowly creeped up on us it has gone from ok maybe I can move down there with like 6 months to go; or ok maybe I can last 1 1/2 with this job and then come; now its TAKE ME WITH YOU i can survive on white rice and soy sauce! It is an awful feeling and it has been in the back of mind mind for weeks. I am trying to be strong and super happy but for a super emotional person this is quite impossible. I know we can do this and that is not what I am sad about, it is I want to spend everyday seeing him and I know for 2 years we can not do that. I really can't fathom not seeing him everyday and laughing EVERYDAY multiple times. I describe this to my sister the other day as, my mind is trying to be logical and tells me you stay here and save money we are just boyfriend and girlfriend and we can last 2 1/2 years apart. Then my heart is saying what are you doing, go there, you can only live on a Caribbean island once in your life, forget about your job, you can survive on white rice and soy sauce (i really could)((and Diet coke)). Clearly the latter is much more exciting and what i want to do, but I am really trying to take it day by day.

Here is where I am at, If God wants me down there he will push me in the right direction and help me make the right decision. (if he pushes a job that I can do totally online from Grenada then I move :)) I am excited for him to leave, (i know weird!) because we can begin the good count down of his return and I can stop crying at weird times during the day. Also if you have ever seen the movie love actually where at the end of the movie she runs into his arms when he gets back and is at the airport, yes that will totally be me! We can also see how terrible it is, it might not be bad and I can last 2 years, or I will start to look into what I could possibly do there and probably visit to see if I could stand the slow pace :)

Well there are all of my feelings in a nut shell, this is what I have been thinking about for weeks. I believe this blog is great for letting out steam and feelings and that is just what I did. I believe the only person reading this would be tanner, Hi Tanner. I am going to come see you very soon!!

Happy New Year, lets hope 2010 is just as great as 2009! Beware of sad posts coming in a week, sorry in advance....

p.s. here is a picture of our group on new years eve; pretty little group aren't we.

I almost forgot, I don't do new years resolutions, but here are some goals.

-Take more pictures

-work out/yoga more

-travel

-make sure I love life!

4th Year

It happens to be my absolute favorite time of the year! Everyone is happy, the house is so beautifully decorated, everyone is baking like crazy and it is so fun buying gifts for others. I really think Christmas is a time for everyone to take a step back and appreciate everyone in your life. Last night we had our annual girls christmas dinner. It started four years ago when we decided instead of giving 12 gifts to all of our girlfriends we should have a potluck and just be together for a night. And so it was formed the Annual Girls Christmas Dinner! It is getting harder every year to get everyone together. With three of the girls engaged and planning their weddings it gets tougher every year to pick a day and time for everyone to get together. WE are all getting so grown up so quickly! It really all happened about a year ago when everyone started getting engaged. In about a year we will probably have some pregnancies :) I love my girlfriends more than you know and am so blessed to have such supportive friends. The crazy part of this is I have more BEST girlfriends from adpi so I didn't have all of my best friends with me. I am so blessed and thankful for all of them. One of my girlfriends asked me about Tyler leaving and when I started talking about the drive home when I take him to the airport, my friend said you know what you have 10 girls right here waiting by the phone if you need us. It melted my heart and made me realized how lucky I really am. Here is a picture below of some of my best friends that were at the Christmas party. I love my life and am so thankful for my gorgeous friends and family! Can't wait till Christmas! p.s. Tyler will be at our house Christmas morning :) A first in our relationship and it gives me butterflies after 7 years we still have very exciting events ahead of us! Love him like crazy!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
