Later Alligator (for now)

I'm still coming to realize that this is all really, very true. I'm a married woman now.

*shocked face*

It honestly doesn't feel real. I feel like ever since the weekend of and to now, about 3 weeks later, I've been living in a dream. I love it. I honestly couldn't be happier. I just wanted to update my very few followers. :)

I know I haven't posted in a while and It's because I've been very busy with my new life, and I've been selfish and enjoying it :P

Hopefully I'll be venturing into making a new home for my blog, this blog is all the ramblings of what use to be, I'm ready to start new and fresh just like with my marriage. We're in a new and fresh beginning and that's what I plan to do with this here blogging thingy.

Until then, I bid you farewell.

The next post I update will be to send you to my new bloggy woggy home :)

Later Tator! :)

HUGE Life Changing Chapter!

It's been forever since I've written, but I was shocked at myself when I noticed that I hadn't shared the big news!! 

It all started over a year ago when a girl and a guy bonded over a certain doctor (more info on that here and here) and that guy made a very big decision that was going to change both of their lives.

On July 19, 2013 that guy made this girl the happiest one in the world. Just watch:

This man is a gift from God and I'm so lucky that he was made just for me. He is my missing piece. We've been engaged a little over 4 months and I'm still in the clouds. I'm the luckiest woman in the world that I get to call him my husband next March :)

Also, he went to Jared ;) 

And, yes, he picked it out himself! Got me a keeper ;)

Wedding plans have been in the works for a while now and things are coming together perfectly! Of course I'm rushing things because we really only get the weekends to get anything done, but hey, what can I say? I'm excited :)

We are so blessed and give all praise to God for this amazing chapter in our lives. He is the only one that has made all of this possible. :) He is the center of all we do and we can't wait to see what He has in store for us. :)

Come on March 29th!!

Officially a Graduate

I can't believe it!  

It still hasn't fully hit...I've graduated...I'm no longer a student...I'm done...when did all of this happen??? Where did the time go??

Four years of my college life....and *poof* it's all over...

 It was like any other Saturday...but at the same time it wasn't...today was the day. Today was the day that I walked across a stage and was handed my diploma cover and it was over. 

Leading up to that day was stressful. Trying to find the right dress, the right shoes, have my nails all ready, and all that other "girly" stuff. Let's just say, I was anxious. I don't think it all became real to me until I picked up my cap and gown that Wednesday. I realized then that it was actually all coming to a close. 

This chapter of my life was ending while the next one was being written and prepared for me.

That morning I got up, bright and early so that I could get an early start and get a good parking spot...thankfully we got lucky! Walked to the Thad Cochran building with my fellow Education classmates and took pictures, talked, laughed, and waited. 

Then around 9am the precession to the Grove started. The time had actually come...well sort of...this was just the convocation...my ceremony was to start at 11 and that was still a couple of hours away. 

After the, what seemed like forever, convocation, it was mass chaos to get to the entrance of the Walk of Champions and lined up for our final walk as undergraduates. 

I won't bore you with small details...but the whole time I sat there, I had flashbacks of my first years here...it was weird to see that this time had finally come. And as if I had just opened my eyes, I was handing the reader my card and walking across the stage to the Dean who shook my hand and handed me my diploma cover. It was all a blur. I still can't believe it. 

Here I sit, 3 days later, and it feels as if nothing happened that Saturday. It's weird. 

Even though it feels as if nothing happened, I know it has. I'm now and official graduate of The University of Mississippi. 

Crazy, right?!

Have you ever had that type of feeling after something big has happened??
