Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and I’m so excited!!  It will be me and Trav’s first Valentine’s Day together, and I can’t wait to spend the day with him.  Valentine’s day is a holiday I have always looked forward to and I know this one will be especially fun as I spend the day with my one true love.  I remember how cool I thought I was in elementary school when my parents sent me roses, and how sorry for myself I felt as I got older and roses from my parents was sometimes the only thing I got.  Somehow though, deep inside, those roses have always meant a lot to me.  Valentine’s day is for people who love each other and even though it wasn’t the right type of love for V-day, the flowers I got always represented my parents love for me and their dedication to show they cared.   This year as flowers are exchanged and teddy bears are bought, I can’t help but feel a little sorry for the rest of the world.  Because, flowers or not tomorrow, Travis is the best gift I could have ever received no matter what the day, and I wish everyone could find a love like ours.

I love you so much!!

    It’s been 1 week and 4 days since I was home, and it feels as if it’s been forever.  This week has been very busy, as Trav would put it "I’m a junior now and things are different."  After 2 papers and a test this week and barely having time breath, let alone get out of the building for a while, I’m starting to feel like a  prisoner in my own room!  I was actually excited about getting to sit desk tonight, it meant I was staring at my ceiling for once!  I get out of prison tomorrow morning at 8 and I’m excited about meeting Travis for lunch in Jackson at 11!  It’s going to be a busy, but hopefully fun, weekend.  We have all kinds of plans made and it will be interesting to see which ones actually pan out!  I’m off to pretend like I work hard…but everyone knows I don’t! 

Hey everyone!  I know it’s been a long time since I posted, so I wanted to do so!  I’ve been back at school for 3 weeks now.  It’s crazy how time flies but it sometimes it still feels like I’ve been here forever.  My mom is in the process of planning our wedding shower.  It’s February 18 at 12:30.  If anyone is interesed, let me know and I’ll get you more details!  Trav and I are both under the weather today and neither of us know  why.  With that said, this post is going to be a short one because I’m off to stare into space until I get off work at 8 and can go stare into space in my room!

I really like you.

For those of you who don’t know, I work at Citizen’s Bank and Trust Co. in Jackson (where Trav now lives and works).  The bank is a pretty good place to work, especially through college, as they work around my schedule and I pretty much work when I can/want to.  But, on days like today, I wish I worked somewhere that money was not involved.  With Sunday being the 1st, today was a very busy day!  It’s hectic around here at the end of the year anyway, and when you throw in a holiday, a 1st of the month and a Friday…It’s Craziness!  This is the first real "break" I’ve taken all day and I have been working 9 1/2 hours!  My time will soon be pulled though, so I must go get caught up on the last few minutes work so that I do not have to work even later than usual!  Happy New Year to All!

Once again, a little birdie kept throwing hints at me to post on his website, so here goes!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.  Trav made this Christmas the best I’ve ever had!  I’m spending my winter "break" working at Citizen’s in Jackson, as usual.  I dread January 7th more than any of you could ever know (except Trav, of course!).  But, atleast this is the last semester I’ll ever have to leave Trav for weeks at a time!  I’m off to try and get Trav to go to bed, I’m very tired and he seems to be cheery and ready for an all nighter.  I…am not. 

With tomorrow being Christmas Eve, I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year!

Hey Jeremy! I heard you come to Trav’s site a lot. It’s true I post on here a lot more than he does, but I like, get in trouble if I don’t post everyday. He’s always like “You haven’t posted since 2 days ago, you should post…” Check out the “Name Change” post in the archives to see the new name of Trav’s site! Hope to meet you soon!

So, I’m sitting at the front desk of the lovely “(J)ewell Hall” and I realized these two hours are actually pretty significant. Not that they are any different than any other hours, easier actually, because only 5 residents are here. Basically, these hours just signify that I’m only one semester away from beginning the best journey I’ve ever taken. Trav and I will get married soon after next semester! These hours mean that we will lose residents and gain them and while it’s good to meet knew girls, I’ll miss the ones that are gone. I was told an RA that worked here was “snobby, rude, thought he was all that” and I dreaded working with him. Now, as he will graduate this semester, I have to say I’m going to miss him. We’ve become good friends, and I never saw any of those attitudes coming from him. It’s going to be sad telling him goodbye and good luck today. Granted that I didn’t fail my take home exam, I’ll begin a new major next semester and that should be filled with lots of craziness and excitement for me to gripe about. Somehow, over the last semester, I feel like I’ve grown a lot. Sure, Trav still has to baby me, but overall, I think I’m ready to be an adult. Goofing off will always be a part of my personality, but I’m ready to be responsible-clean up after myself, buy my own food, pay my own bills. I’ve never really been “irresponsible” but I would have been nervous up until this semester to run my own home and deal with everything myself. Now though, I think me and Trav have it under control! This RA job teaches you responsibility in more ways than you realize, it’s like you are the “sub-Mom” of 70 people and all you can do is deal. It’s pretty quite here today, as most residents are gone, but a little quite time is good every now and then to reflect on how such little things can be so significant. Of course in January, I’ll go back to griping about my job and having to sit desk, but I know in May I’ll start to think about the past year and get a little teary-eyed (I’m sensitive like that!). Just in case any of my residents ever visit this site: Thanks for a great semester!
