April 15: Tim & Jess got a little puppy today :) He is SO adorable & he gets to live with us this next year!! Trying to come up with a name...so we'd appreciate any suggestions :) He is so quiet and gentle - hoping that side of his personality won't change much at all :)

April 14: Had fun going to the pet store with G, Tim & Jess tonight :) Loved the mini-bunnies!!! So cute!! :)

April 13: Watched the show today & saw the family on there!! :) Still pumped up about going to the show yesterday, haha! And to make it even a better long "weekend"....my boys won 7-5 in our home opener today!!! We love & miss you Matsui! Can't wait for another great season of yanks baseball baby :) #28!!!

April 12: Had an awesome time at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon today!!!! It was so great to see him live & be right there :) I was just one seat away from gettin chosen to be in the audience game/interaction with him - killer! But, it looks like there will be a pretty long and decent shot of us on TV. Guess we'll see at 12:35 tonight :) SO much fun - so thankful I got to come home :) Maybe next time we can do spin class together....

April 8: Had a wonderful time last night & this morning living with the Rays :) Then tonight I had my first "tornado warning" experience...and Scott decided freak me out alot more than I already was...but we ended up being safe and okay :) (I was seriously freaking out...we don't get those warnings in Jersey!) Tomorrow is finally Friday & by tomorrow morning, we should know if we're going to see Jimmy on Monday!!! :) praying praying praying we can go! :)

April 7: Jess & I are getting so excited for our new apartment :) There are endless ideas for decorating...it's going to be so hard to decide on what to do!! Working on a small budget though...so it will be fun to see what I can do with it! - Tonight I'm also getting to spend the night at the Ray's :) It is SO nice to get off campus & have a room all to myself! Definitely the most peaceful night of the semester here at Liberty...But only 5 more weeks till summer - then we move in to our apartment! :)

April 6: Really struggling with the blog this past week...at least I can blame it on forgetting my laptop at home this week! Picture/Description to come...

April 5: Beautiful ride back to Virginia with Carly & Niki :) (minus the fact I forgot my laptop, rings, makeup, and signed/notarized lease back at home...always so forgetful!!)

April 4: Happy Easter everyone! :) FINALLY it's opening day tonight - Yanks vs. Red Sox. Baseball season has officially begun :) My favorite time of the year - can't wait to be back at the stadium to get a hot dawg & some cotton caaanedy! I can feel #28 already!! mah boys are back in business baby!

April 3: Went to pick up the beautiful desk I found on Craigslist today - I LOVE it!!! And it just so happened that I bought it from Jersey Shore's Mike "The Situation"s older brother - haha such a small world! (even though we were in Jersey, ha). But him & his wife were so sweet and so fun to talk to! Truly felt like long lost family in a way...must be an Italian thing :)

April 2: Was so excited to drive home to beautiful Jersey with Carly today!! Loved getting to know her friend Niki, and as always, acting completely crazy for 7 hours straight! Yay for being home :)

April 1: Someone found the dip for their chips!!! :) :)

March 31: The sunset was so beautiful today!!! This is definitely one of the bonuses of going to school in the mountains down South! 2 more days till home!!!

March 30: Busy day at the office today ;) I think all 3 of us girls were looking at decorating stuff...or it's very possible Bek was busy cutting out her coupons! Which is amazing by the way with how much $$ she has saved!! CVS is my favorite place to use them - with all those awesome extra bucks you get :) (we both know we sound like nerds...but at least we're the ones saving mad money :) ) I love working with my 2 favorite girls so much!!!

March 29: Crazy day at school today! There was supposedly an electrical fire, which caused the fire alarms to go off, and everyone was forced to evacuate the building. This happened in the middle of one of my psych classes - and it's always funny how we're taught our entire lives that as soon as an alarm rings, we're to get up and exit the building asap. But yet, when one alarms, everyone just sits there and says "do we really have to get out?!" As excited as I was to get out of class, I'm very thankful no one was hurt and everything was okay!!

March 28: Had a great night at the Basketball Banquet tonight! Love Coach Layer & everyone so much!!! I am so thankful to have such an amazing job & even more amazing co-workers. So proud of the boys for another great season :)

March 27: Becky & the Brosky are visiting this weekend :) Garen and I had a great night with them, Tasha & Josh, Joey & Lindsay grilling burgers and having an awesome meal!! Looking forward to being with them more tomorrow :)

March 25: Bought the cutest little black dress today at New York & Company :) And if you are a Triple-A member, you get 25% off your total purchase just for showing your card!! How sweet is that?! I was so excited for my new purchase :) even though this picture doesn't do it any justice whatsoever!

March 24: hahaha so I took a picture tonight after Garen's game, and went to look at it, and saw this...it's a picture I tried to take earlier today of our "star" track runner from Kenya...he's literally one of the best in the nation and I thought I should try and take his picture so I'll have it when he makes it to the olympics one day....haha, I'm a true dork and laughed really hard at my attempted (yet failed) picture of him which I thought came out great at the time...

p.s. he's the one by the lamp-post :)

March 23: Kroger :)

March 22: Found out my Dad won 4 tickets to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon today for April 12!!! REALLY hoping (and praying hard) that I get to go - Jimmy is my favorite :) I think it may end up being the highlight of my year if I go, haha. But....really :)

March 21: Truly bummed to be back at school...but happy to be back with the boy. 49 more days till summer!!!

March 20: First Day of Spring! Just seemed a little appropriate for this flower to come out today :) As much as it stinks for spring break to be ending...I'm excited to get through April and be home for good this summer! 7 weeks!

March 19: Got my parents some spices at Penzeys - awesome place out in St. Louis. They also have them in Philly, Grand Central Station in the city, and in other cities as well. The entire store is just jam packed with tons of spices & you they have big jars to smell to "sample" it...I made the mistake of sniffing some too hard...and you can only imagine how that felt ;) Excited to see how these taste!

(waiting to get picture)
March 18: Great night with great people & great food :) Always love when Chewy cooks!!

March 17: Had a fun afternoon with my parents today! Got to go up to the Yogi Berra Museum and see the awesome collection they have up there. We got the whole place to ourselves, so it was really special :) We had just missed meeting Yogi by a couple hours - which was extra upsetting since I had just visited the house he grew up in out in St. Louis! But, it was awesome seeing the museum - it got me even more pumped up for opening day (only 18 days away now), and maybe next time, I'll be able to catch Yogi :)

March 16: Made dinner tonight :) Spinach, sun-dried tomatos, pine nuts with seasoning and lemon over angel hair! Came out pretty good & I actually really liked taking pictures of it :) Maybe I'll use some of them when I open up my pizzeria one day :)

March 16: Glad to finally be home :)

March 14: Went on a drive after church today to St. Charles & went through a historic downtown. Saw this bar and had to take a picture of it - For those of you who haven't seen dumb & dumber, see it...and for those who have, then you really appreciate this picture as well :)

March 13: Went to a place called Maplewood in St. Louis today & got to go to a really cool coffee shop for lunch and then went to a real nice guitar shop called "Eddie's Guitars." When we left the store, we got to see this rowdy crowd! They were so cute! We also got to go to a place called "FroYo" where you make your own frozen yogurt sundae with fresh fruit and toppings...so good!! Another great day in STL :)

March 12: Fun day in the Lou today! Got to go to "the hills" (little Italy) where Yogi Berra grew up & we were able to find the house he grew up in :) It was so cool!!! Gotta love Yogi!

March 12: Spring Break has officially begun :) Great day of traveling!! And glad to be in beautiful St. Louis!!!

March 10: Studying hard tonight - Last day before spring break!! :)

March 9: Went to the bowling alley to watch G play today, since he missed his bowling class last Wednesday. It's a kinesiology class with LU - not a random old people bowling class offered by the alley - just to clarify :) I was proud of your spin, babe! ;)

March 8: One of Graham's first trys on taking a picture :)

March 7: Absolutely BEAUTIFUL day today!! Got up into the 60's :) Loved the warm weather & am already getting so excited to go down the shore this summer!!

March 6: Garen and I had an AMAZING day today with Scott, Rebekah & Lil' G and AJ & Liberty in Charlottesville!!! We went to Anthropologie, Coach McKay got us tickets for the UVA/Maryland game, got to shoot around on their practice court after the game, went to the Melting Pot for dinner & dessert, and then had a great ride back to school talking with Lib & AJ...even though we got lost twice :)

March 5: Finally back in the dorm after a very long & tiring week. As fun as this project has been so far, there are some days where it is so difficult to take a picture of something that I really want to grasp for that certain day. So, some pictures have been forced out of the mindset of "I just need to take a picture of something before I go to bed," and this picture just really represents all of those days and nights where I end up taking a very last minute picture (yet somehow it always comes together)...and tonight being one of them :)

March 4: Lil G came into the office today & sneaked into the team room while Joel was sleeping. He was so cute looking over at him...Love him SO much!!! & his little jersey too! :)

March 3: Got the sweetest package ever today from my brother & becky :) It was filled with goldfish, milano cookies, sour patch, reeses, a banana bank, slinky, bunny ears, a card, and this awesome pic-my favorite! :) Miss them & love them like crazy!! 12 more days!

March 2: Crazy night with these girls!!! (possibly attempting the 6:30am wake up again...we'll see)

March 1: Thanks for making & sending this to me Mama :) It was a great reminder tonight!! Love you!

February 28: My attempt to wake up at 6:30am for the gym. Last 2 times my attempt failed. Hoping for the best tomorrow :)

February 27: Just finished watching the Olympics with these girls :) Don't mind Emily's shirt...New York will for sure dominate yet again this year! & we love Kayla...she's special :)

February 26: Found these at J-Crew Outlet today for an awesome deal...They're slowly growing on me & look really cute with certain outfits. Gotta love finding great deals & getting new shoes :)

February 25: Love these girls & love when the team is traveling :)

February 24: Fun day playing guitar with Garen & learning "Jumper" :)

February 23: I never do this, but I was looking through my pictures today & came across this one. I miss my roommate more than anything!!! She was awesome...she transferred last semester, so the left side of the room is completely bare with the new roomie :( but i love you sarah!!

February 22: I love you, Dad!  

February 21: Awesome game tonight!!! USA dominated 5-3, and this guy had an amazing shot in the last 44 seconds!!! I have been loving these Olympics so much! Definitely wish they were yearly :)
