“The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life.” -Hugh Walpole, Sr.

8/25/07.....

Saturday, August 25, will mark Trevor and I’s 5 year anniversary; Five amazing, exciting, wonderful years that I have spent with an incredible man. Trevor is not just my boyfriend, but my best friend. He knows everything about me and continues to love me. (Even when I am cranky and won’t pick out a place to eat, hehe) Trevor, in my humble opinion, is a jack of all trades. He has so much patience (something I completely lack), everyone who meets him likes him, he makes me laugh every single day, he is extremely intelligent and when he sets his mind to accomplish something, he never fails.

I believe all relationships take love, hard work, and understanding to be successful. Trevor and I work hard to be happy and also to be happy with each other. I am extraordinarily proud to say that we rarely have big arguments at this point in our relationship. Sure we have our disagreements, but I guess after 5 years we know what each other’s buttons are and do are absolute best to stay far far away from them. Our happy place is with each other, but we also love being with our loved ones (family and friends). We both have a passion for living life and having as much fun as possible which makes for some wonderful memories over the past five years.

So today, (yes, a little early, but we are doing a birthday party on Saturday and have friends coming in tomorrow) I thank GOD for that moment 5 years ago, on my 19^th birthday, when Trevor asked me very politely to be “his girl”. I am so blessed to have found the one that makes me heart whole, the one that I have prayed for since I was a little girl, the man that makes me laugh every day, the man that loves my family as much as they love him, and the man that makes me feel like the luckiest girl in the world, Trevor. I love you with all my heart and all my soul and cannot wait to see what adventures and memories the next year brings for us.

Trevor and I don't have one particular song (but many) and today this is the one that keeps playing in my head when I think of how lucky I am. Plus the video is adorable and cute and I am in that kind of mood today. 

Well guys, I am off to finish this Thursday, (which just happens to be my Friday). Have an AMAZING weekend dolls! I know I will.

Getting into the Christmas Spirit

Happy Hump Day!

I don't know about you guys but this week is C-R-A-W-L-I-N-G by. Especially when I have the entire week off next week, OMGCANTWAIT! Sunday after the Texans BTHO whoever they are playing (I'm such a good employee) Trevor and I will be heading down to big metropolis of Bridge City, Texas. Don't get me wrong, I love living in Houston but it will be nice to get a break from the big city. We will be home the ENTIRE week before Christmas and I couldn't be more excited to see all my family and friends back home. It seems every time I have been home recently its been on a weekend and that means a day and a half to rush around and try and make time for everyone, so it will be nice to have the entire week. That and the fact that it's CHRISTMAS!!! My absolute favorite time of the year! Every Christmas eve, my Dad's side of the family all get together at my Aunt and Uncle's house for some good food, quality time with family, presents and of course the always classic home videos including one of me opening a present and thinking all I got was a "fluff" (you know the stuff inside jewelry boxes) and actually saying "thank you" for it. There is another one of me, my cousin Ashley, and our grandmother all jumping on a trampoline. My grandmother looks like a cross between Richard Simmons and donkey Kong the way she is jumping in her matching purple sweat suit, and I being a good 10 pounds lighter than my cousin at the time can't get my footing for the life of me. Ahh good times. Christmas day we spend with my mom and amazing grandparents and it's usually a repeat of the night before minus the embarrassing home videos. I seriously cannot wait.

It's been a busy couple of weeks with a Thanksgiving trip to Dallas, Texan football games, and the 3rd annual Surber Christmas party. I will do a blog update in pictures once I upload them. I am a little behind with uploading pictures. (Still haven't even uploaded Halloween, YIKES!) Promise, pics coming very soon.

With Christmas Eve/Christmas fast approaching (10 days and counting) I decided to do a little Christmas survey that I found online. Hopefully it brings you some Holiday Cheer! Enjoy! (And feel free to steal)

What’s the best gift you have ever received?

This is a tough question for me because I have (being an only child and all) always had AWESOME Christmases when it comes to gifts. But so far there are two Christmas gifts that stick out to me. One was a pair of diamond studded earrings that my grandfather bought me. It's not so much that they're diamonds (doesn't hurt) but that they are from my grandfather and grandmother who I love so much. I did wear them every day from the moment I got them, until  the back of one fused together with the stem and we actually had to cut it out of my ear. Yes it was as horrible as it sounds, BUT good news is they are currently being remounted and I will get them back good as new next week when I am home. :)

The second Christmas gift was a necklace I got two Christmases ago from Trevor. Again not just for the fact that it was diamonds but the message it represented. In the card I opened before the actual present, Trevor had written down 7 things that each diamond on the necklace stood for. It was carefully thought out and it was so special to me. I also wear this piece of jewelry every day :)

What is your favorite Christmas movie moment?
Home Alone, The Grinch, and The Holiday are my favorite Christmas movies. I have favorite moments in them all. I could watch all of these movies 100 times during Chrismtas. (The Holiday, anytime of the year really)
 

 

When do you open gifts?

Christmas Eve and also Christmas morning

Do you believe in Santa?

I think there is a little bit of Santa Claus in all of us. I saw this link on the always wonderful Pinterest.com and thought it was a great way to explain Santa. :)

What is your happiest Christmas memory?

Last year's Christmas was nearly perfect. During my parents’ divorce, a lot of Christmas' had their ups and major downs, and as always with a divorce that goes bad, it took some time to heal. Last year (and really the year before) things started to feel perfect again...no arguing, no one parent hurt because I was with the other one, no one sick, and bonus, I had an outstanding date that I was held over heels in love with (and still am). Doesn't get much better than that.

What famous person would you most like to encounter under the mistletoe?

No one famous, I'm perfectly fine with Trevor Davis. :)

Do you prefer wrapping presents or just putting them in bags?

I love wrapping presents, like wish I could do that as my job during Christmas I love it so much. If you use bags, you’re just lazy! Unless it's one of those incredibly difficult and oddly shaped presents that are impossible to wrap, I never use bags. I will also most likely try and wrap it anyways. :)

When it comes to decorations, are you a Griswald or a Grinch?

Griswald most definitely! Nothing fancy but it gets me in the spirit. I have my tree, Christmas wreath, lights in the study window, some more hung on the mirror behind the couch and also some more in my bedroom window.

My apartment this Christmas. :)

My purple, white, and silver Christmas tree. (the lights are blueish)

What is your favorite version of a Christmas song?

Okay so I love all Christmas music (Trevor was a little less than pleased when I started playing it the day after Thanksgiving) so I really cannot chose a favorite version of a specific song. Don't make fun now, but the Hanson's actually have an amazing Christmas album, SERIOUSLY, it's so good. I highly recommend you check it out if you want the classics with a little modern touch.

Some of my other Christmas favorites are:

1. Oh Come Al Ye Faithful

2. Santa Baby

3. Rocking around the Christmas tree

4. Baby it's Cold Outside

5. Carol of the Bells

6. Mr. Grinch

Have you had any traumatic Christmas-related experiences?

So funny story, I was dating a guy in junior high named Kelly Stanley (didn't last, we were better as friends, still are actually) Anyways he came over to my house to help put up the Christmas tree. Of course the 13 year old me was so smitten with having my boyfriend at the house that I did not pay too much attention the actual decorating. So tree is done, looks great, Kelly goes home and life goes on. A couple of days later we come home to the Christmas tree on the ground...did I mention it is real so pine needles are everywhere? My Dad was less than pleased but got over it. Fast forward about a week later, Dad is at the computer balancing the checkbook AKA stay the hell away from him because he is in a terrible mood, and I have briefly came out of my room to get something to drink. As I walk by the tree falls AGAIN! Needless to say my Dad was definitely not pleased this time and proceeded to go on a rant about if I am dating a guy that can't decorate a tree correctly I need a new boyfriend. VERY traumatic at the time...a good story to tell now. Side note: It actually fell over a third time but just my mom and me where home so we cleaned up the mess and no one ever knew. :)

What would be an age appropriate gag gift for most of your friends?

Something inappropriate. That is all I have to say about that.

Would you rather be a partridge in a pear tree or a lord a-leaping and why?

I am going to go with Lord-a-Leaping because I like to consider myself loyalty(coughMarinaSurberCough) and I enjoy dancing. :)

Happy Hump Day Dolls!

P.S.- I don't know if you guys have ever heard of "Revenge" but it's a new show on ABC and it is AWESOME. Trevor and I look forward to "Workout, Revenge and Wine Wednesdays" every week. I highly recommend you check it out. Plus Modern Family comes on before, another awesome show.

Eve*

30 Days of Thanks: 11-13

Good Monday to everyone!

I do hope that everyone had as great a weekend as I did. Friday night Trevor and I had dinner with our Houston crew at the always delicious Guadalajara. After dinner we picked up a good friend that we never get to see (he lives in Canada) from the airport and spent the night "time traveling", two-stepping, and having very interesting cab rides involving Lil'Wayne and bunny ears. Saturday we stomached another stellar performance by the Aggies (sarcasm much?) and then had a movie & wine night at home. "Crazy, Stupid Love" and "Limitless" are both great movies by the way. Sunday, Trev and I had a fantastic brunch at Cyclone's in the Heights. Bottomless Mimosa=awesomesauce. Sunday finished up with football and relaxation.

So here we are with the start of another countdown until the weekend. (Lucky me today is my Tuesday).

Time to catch up with my "30 Days of Thanks"!

Day 11-Armed Services

Friday was Veteran's Day. With all of the craziness that is going on all over the world, Americans are pretty dang lucky that we typically live our lives worry free. What I mean by that is none of us walk outside every morning hoping we don't get blown up today. We don't have to hope that when we get home from work our houses will still be standing. You may not agree with our government and times may be tough for a lot of people, but we are still very blessed to live, in my opinion, the best country in the world. I firmly believe one of the biggest reasons it is the best is because of our defense. We are protected because thousands of men and women chose to put their butts on the line to save ours. I am incredibly thankful for that. I am very proud to say my grandfather, Louis O. Peveto served in the 82 airborne unit, in US Army. He, along with all other past, present, and future veterans are heroes in my book. Friday, November 11, 2011, I am incredibly thankful for all the men and women who serve, has served and will serve in the United States Military. May GOD watch over all of them and bring them home soon. May GOD also bless the families of these men and women.

Day 12-God's Grace

Saturday morning as I lay in bed, waiting to fully wake up, I was looking on my dearly beloved pinterest.com and I ran across this.

I sadly have fallen asleep mid prayer, and some nights/mornings simply did not pray. Seeing how incredible my life truly is, I feel ashamed to admit it. Thankfully though, my GOD is a forgiving and loving GOD that doesn't torch my apartment because I forgot to say thank you. How lucky are we as Christians that God DOESN'T forget? I'd say pretty darn lucky.

November 12, 2011, I am so incredibly thankful for God's grace, forgiveness, and love for without it, I would be lost. I am thankful my parents raised me to be strong in faith and to trust in God. I am thankful that God doesn't take away our blessing when we mess up, that he gives us second chances. For all of this, I am MOST thankful for.

Day 13-Trevor Davis

There isn't a single person I have ever known that I can spend days straight with but then miss them the instant they leave. Don't get me wrong, I love my family and my friends but we all know we can get under each other's skin after lengthy periods of time together. I could spend endless time with that boy and it would still not be enough. He brings out the best in me, makes me laugh every day, and makes me feel like a million bucks. On top of everything he does for me, he gets along with everyone and charms anyone he meets. He is level headed, very intelligent, and has a heart of gold. He is strong, independent, and can fix anything. (Literally cars, electronics, household items, you name it) The best thing about him is he chooses me to be his girl, best friend, and partner in crime. Every time I look at those gorgeous green eyes I feel like the luckiest girl in the universe.

November 13, I am incredibly thankful for Trevor Davis being in my life. I thank GOD for sending me the man I always prayed for. I thank GOD for the past 4 years and also for getting us through the tough moments. I am thankful I now know what love is.

Happy Monday Dolls.

30 Days of Thanks

Hello friends!

Glad to see we have all made it halfway through the week!

I have been seeing on facebook this trend of people that are updating their status every day of November with something that they are thankful for. I think it's a great idea, kudos to whoever originally thought of it. I have decided instead to take my "30 Days of Thank"s to True Blonde Ambition instead of facebook. So without further adue I give you (in no particular order) my "30 Days of Thanks".Since I missed a day yesterday (which will happen from time to time) I will give 2 things today.

Day 1- Chanel

As we drove to our very good friends, Heather and Henry's house that Sunday in August last year I knew I was going to be picking out a new puppy, but little did I know just how in love I would fall with her. This half full/half mini Australian Shepherd stole my heart the first time I held her in my lap.

She opened her little eyes and looked at me, and that was it. Over the past year and 5 months she has brought me more joy (and let's face it, a good amount of stress too) that I could not have possibly imagined. Even though we have had our moments with those puppy frustrations, and of course her diva like attitude, all of that is nothing compared to the complete happiness I experience when I come home every day to that black and white ball of fluff. Chanel has the biggest personality of any dog I have ever met. She is incredibly hard headed, extremely smart, and I am quite positive she has Trevor and I more trained that we have her. The unconditional love that I feel from her every night when she cuddles up next me is impossible to explain in words. So today I thank God for sending me this little Angel that turns my dark skies blue and melts my heart with every wet nosed, puppy kiss.

Day 2-Veterinarians

Confused yet? Allow me to explain. Yesterday morning at around 4 AM (yes, AM) Chanel began to get sick. After about an hour (and 30 minutes of clean up), she was running around wanting me to play "ball" with her, so I relaxed and went into work. When I made it home yesterday, judging by what was on my floor, she had gotten sick several times that day while I was gone, but again appeared to be acting fine. Now, as from my post above, you can see how much that dog means to me, so I immediately begin to panic/think the worse. I grab her, jump in the Camry, and run to Chanel's regular vet only to find out from the overly chipper receptionist that Doctor ---- is not in but I could bring her back in the morning. *steam pours out of ears* "I don't have TIME to wait for the morning lady! And by the way, this is the last time you will see me here, since this is the THIRD time Dr.--- is not here when my dog needs her VET!!!". I then speed over to another vet office Chanel's new vet office where we only waited a few minutes. (If you are looking for a reliable, friendly, fair in price veterinarian office inside the loop in Houston, look no further, Heights Vet Clinic.) The vet (who just happened to be an Aggie, WHOOP!) gave Chanel an examination and let me know she had no serious issues besides her little stomach bug. The vet informed that she would be fine and gave Chanel a shot along with some medicine. So today, I am so incredibly thankful for those people that spend their time (and all that money for Vet school) taking care of the patients that can't tell you whats wrong, the patients that sometimes bite, and the patients that make their families complete. I thank God for creating these wonderful people who love animals so much they want to spend their lives helping them live a healthy and happy life.

Highs and Lows

Ladies and Gentleman, I give you how the past week has gone for me in the form of a graph.

Please ignore the whole wavelength, distance, ECT. markings, the graph is for visual purposes only.

Let's begin with last Thursday evening...

High Point- Oktoberfest for work=Super fun, lots of free food&alcohol, and dancing. It was so much better than last year when I went after only working here for 2 months and didn't really know anyone. This year was much better; having a group of work friends and my extremely personable date once again made it a very enjoyable night.

Me and my hott date!

work lunch buddy and friend

Low Point- Getting my hung over butt to work at 7AM on Friday. However, the random compliments on my dancing skills and how incredibly nice my date was (Trevor) made work not so difficult to get through. (That, and everyone else was just as hung-over if not worse)

Staying at Low Point- It took Trevor and me 4 hours to get to Aggieland on Friday night. It was totally our own fault but still, for Pete's sake (who the heck is Pete anyway?) College Station is only 84 miles from Houston!

High Point- Being in College Station Saturday morning already since the game started at 11. (Thanks Housewife Hotel)

Low Point- Having to change a flat tire on Cammy (My Camry) on Saturday morning when we went to go buy the precious Andre for "Dat Crew Tailgating". It's a game day tradition that the group drinks two bottles (as a group, not individually. We're not drunks!) of Andre on the way to the game. Very important stuff.

High Point- Watching the Aggies B.T.H.O. Baylor one last time, at home, in Kyle Field! WHOOP!

My shirt=awesomesauce. Myself, Heather L, and Marina tailgating pre-game.

Fightin' Texas Aggie band!

Gosh I love A&M. :)

White out game.

Low Point- Go back to HW Hotel to get our stuff before tailgating some more only to find out that Cammy had been towed. Thank you College Station for adding tow number three to my record in that town.

High Point- Boyfriend Paid for tow fee. :)

Low point- driving Cammy home on a spare tire, it's not the smallest doughnut tire, but definitely not the same shoe she is use to having.

High Point- (for Trevor and for my sanity) - Rangers win game 6 and are in the World Series.

Low Point- Not having Chanel home with us on Saturday night because it was too late to pick her up that night.

High Point-Waking up at home and not on an air mattress Sunday morning, we decide to make our own brunch and Poinsettias (champagne and fruit punch).

Low (but extremely funny) point- Only having 1/3 of a bottle of champagne after Trevor soaked down my carpet, couch pillows, part of the TV., and the path all the way to the kitchen with Champagne when he went to open it. His face was priceless. Once we realized all the electronics were safe we laughed for a good 5 minutes.

High Point- Having a really (rare) relaxing Sunday that involved movies, football, getting our daughter back, and sushi that night.

As for the work week so far, we have pretty much gone back to normal...

(again ignore headers and lables please)

steadily rising as each day passes bringing up closer to another, what is sure to be, memorable weekend. Friends in from out of town, bridesmaid dress shopping, one of the best friend's baby shower (holy mother of pearl my friends are starting to have babies???) and a birthday celebration at Pete's Piano Bar downtown, BRING.IT.ON.

It also doesn't hurt that today is my Friday. :)

Happy Thursday dolls.

Saving Puppies and Expanding Families.

T.G.I.F. Dolls!

This week was a TID BIT exhausting for me so I am so glad to see Friday once again.

With this terribly exhausting week though, something wonderful did happen to me.

Wednesday evening around 6:20, Trevor and I were on our way home from the gym and had just crossed over I-10 onto T.C. Jester on our way back to my apartment. Trevor went to pass a car and right there in front of us was what appeared to be small yellow lab mix sort of wobbling down the road. You could tell it did not realize that it was in harms way since it wasn't moving to quick. I immediately tell Trevor to stop the car (Yes, in the middle of T.C. Jester at 6 o'clock); I jump out of the car stopping incoming traffic and call the dog over to the edge of the road. After some observation I realize she is a girl, doesn't seem to be dirty, just dusty, and has a sort of limp to her back legs. I am guessing at this point that maybe she is an older dog. Trevor moves the car to a side street why we take a look around and ask a couple of neighbors if they have ever seen her. No one knows anything about her. I am not about to leave a sweet dog on the side of a busy road to get hit, so after a quick discussion we decide we are going to bring her to my apartment and then during the day on Thursday Trevor would bring her to a no-kill shelter that works with the pet organization we volunteer with. She was a little hesitant to get in the car but we finally got her in there and made our way home.

At my apartment, we realize she is not familiar with stairs, so we carry her up inside. Chanel is very confused at this point, and CLEARLY not happy with us. If she could talk then I am thinking she would have said something similar to this, "Umm WTF MOM AND DAD!?!?! Who is this dirty tramp that you’re bringing into our HOME?!?! OMG, she just touched my toy, and my bone..OMG NOT MY BALL YOU TROLLOP!" Poor Miss Honeybrowne (as me and Trevor temporarily named her, yellow dog just wasn't working) did not understand why this pretty dog was being so angry. So after about...20 minutes Chanel finally let up enough for us to get Miss Honeybrowne into the bathtub. She didn't appear to be really dirty, just dusty. After a bath we decided we better try and feed her, and we concluded she hadn't eaten in days. She proceeded to eat 4 bowls of Chanel's food. Again, another tough moment for Chanel but she handled it....barely. So after a week's portion of food and nearly 2 gallons of water she started to pep up. Chanel decided since she had been bathed she would now play with her.

45 minutes of playing, wrestling, and a couple of "freak outs" by Chanel later both their tongues were dragging the ground and it was time to relax. Chanel proceeded to get her bone and go lay on Trevor, her typical behavior in the evenings. All was good in the world until Miss Honeybrown decided she would grab a bone too....you can guess how well that went. Chanel leapt of the couch with lightening speed, ripped the bone out of Honeybrowns mouth and growled her very mean growl as she jumped back onto Trevor's lap. After a stern talking and me giving Honeybrowne her own bone we had a fairly relaxing remainder of the evening. We decided that they should probably be separated when it came to sleeping, so Trevor took Miss Honeybrown back to his apartment for the night. After all of Chanel's very "diva-like" moments when Miss Honeybrown poked her head out the window of the car, Chanel put her paws up on the car and gave her a kiss. This is when I started actually contemplating how I could keep her, but deep down I know that just isn't possible for us right now, especially living in an apartment with one very high maintence dog already. Sad day.

This was Miss Honeybrown at my apartment.

The next day as soon as I woke up all I could think about was this dog does not belong in a shelter, she is way too good of a dog. She didn't bark once, she's friendly to everyone, (even Chanel with her severe case of only child syndrome) and is very well behaved. Trevor and I went to work, sending out e-mails at work, posting posts on facebook about her, and working with the Houston Howdy Club to try and find her a home so she wouldn't have to go to the shelter. Around 11:30, something amazing happened; a woman I work with e-mailed me and said that her family would like to take her in. My heart soared, especially since Trevor was getting ready to leave work to take her to shelter. Trevor immediately made a route change and headed up to my work to give Miss Honeybrowne to her new owner. When they arrived she already looked so much better than the day before. She had more energy and her eyes weren't red anymore, it was wonderful.

Miss Honeybrowne's new owner left work early and brought her to the vet to get checked out before bringing her home. Turns out she is a 2 year old mostly lab mix with some golden retriever in her. She weighs 40 pounds, she is fixed, and doesn't have any fleas. She also tested negative for all diseases and heartworms. She did not have a microchip. Only negative thing that we found out was her limp she had actually came from getting hit at a slow speed by a car...bless her heart. But by God's grace she didn't break any bones when it happened and was just badly bruised. The Vet told her new owner that she should heal fine. I swear on my own precious puppy that if I knew who hit poor Miss Honeybrowne I would hit them with MY car and leave them on the side of the road, see how they like that. I will never understand how cruel some worthless human beings are to animals and I seriously hope they all drink arsenic.

Okay back to the happy moment...besides being a little bruised up she is a perfectly healthy dog who is doing great in her new home where she has half an acre backyard to play in with her new sister Brownie, who is also a lab, two twin 4 year olds who spend every afternoon playing with the "doggies" and a loving family that lets them sleep inside every night.



Cupcake with her new sister Brownie



Cupcake with her new family. :)



It seriously makes Trevor and I the happiest people to know that we helped this wonderful dog (recently named Cupcake) find a new family where she will live a full and happy life. It makes us smile to know that those kids will grow up with that dog and will be part of family memories for a lifetime. Helping her was one of the most rewarding things I have done all year. Dogs deserve to have a family that loves them as much as they love you. The incredible thing about dogs is that love unconditionally, selflessly and with their whole hearts, no matter what. I am so glad that we found her and changed her stars.

I hope that everyone has an awesome weekend, not just a good one, but one of the best of the year.

Happy Friday Dolls!

Birthdays, Anniversaries, and Fightin' Texas Aggie Football

I know I am incredibly behind in blogging and for that my apologies. But hey it’s FRIDAY! Whoop to that!

My birthday was perfect. I seriously have the most amazing group of family and friends. I feel very lucky to have such a large group of wonderful friends that came out and celebrated with me. Thank you to everyone who came to dinner and/or to Shot Bar. Thank you to "anonymous friend" for renting the hummer limo. It wouldn't have been the same without ANY of you! I promise to do a birthday recap post once I get the pictures uploaded on to my computer. There are seriously like 112 pictures and some of them are NOT, I repeat NOT facebook/cyber world friendly, meaning I do not want to see these pictures in 10 years when I am an "established" adult. But seriously best, most amazing birthday yet.

Trevor and I's anniversary was equally as perfect. For our 4 year anniversary, Trevor took us to Vick and Anthony's Steakhouse in downtown. (OMG SO GOOD!) He also surprised me with flowers and Dancing Lessons for an entire month. Dancing lessons you say? Ballroom, Dancing with the Stars type of stuff, and I am BEYOND excited. I have been dying to learn how to do all those dances since I started watching the ABC hit. After these lessons, we will be ready to tear up the dance floor for all the weddings we have coming up to. ;) Serious stuff Ahead- God has given me the thing I have always prayed for with Trevor Davis. The past 4 years I have spent with that guy have been the best 4 years of my life, seriously. I couldn't have dreamed up a more perfect man for me. He is my best friend, partner in crime, love of my life and no one can make me smile like he does. Thank you Trevor Davis for putting up with my dramatic-long-drawn-out stories, being patience when I won’t pick somewhere to eat and say no to anything your suggesting, having only child syndrome some days loving me with all your heart. I will always return the favor. Cheers to 4 years and endless amount of years to come.



Okay now it's time to get a real with some of you people. Blogs are supposed to be a place for honesty and truth, the good stuff and the bad stuff...so here we go. Yes, I just celebrated 4 years with an amazing man, yes; we had a romantic night out, NO! WE ARE NOT ENGAGED!@!$!#$%#$^%$@!$&%. If one more idiot person asks me that very unintelligent question, I may quite possibly drop kick you in your head that holds that undersized brain of yours. Look people, it doesn't matter nor is it none of your business if we are engaged. AND YOU WOULD HAVE HEARD ABOUT IT (If your imporatant in my life or we are friends on facebook). I do not need your life coaching nor do I need you to bother Trevor about it. We are big kids and are very happy. We will get engaged when we damn well want too. There is no law anywhere that says after X (X being 4 years in this case) amount of time together that you have to start planning a wedding. I would hands down bet on our relationship over some MARRIED couples I know. People need to remember that every relationship is different. Yes some people meet and after a month get married and stay married for 50 years (unlikely but it can happen). There are also people who date for 10 years before they get married and still live happily ever after. However, a lot of people don't. Just a little fact...

• 41% of first marriages in the U.S. end in divorce
• 60% of second marriages in the U.S. end in divorce
• 73% of third marriages in the U.S. end in divorce

So back off people. We plan on getting it right the first time. I am happy. He is happy. WE ARE HAPPY TOGETHER. And besides, good things come to those who wait. :)

In other news, I can barely contain my excitement for Sunday because FIGHTIN' TEXAS AGGIE FOOTBALL IS BACK!!!!! A-WHOOP!!!!! I cannot wait to be back in my beloved Aggieland, tailgating for hours, hollering till my voice is gone (Which, I might add, will be done in pre-game this week because I have this God awful cold that makes me sound like an 75 year old smoker) and watching the Ags get the "W". Being back in Aggieland for football games for me is like going home. I spent 4 incredible years of my life there and going back just makes me remember all the great times. BONUS, when I go back, I get to make more memories with a lot of the same people. It's an amazing thing to get to tailgate and SIT DOWN in our alumni seats with the same people you use to stand in the BLAZING HOT SUN the entire game with years back. So cheers to Fightin' Texas Aggie Football! (Press Play on the first one)
