quick update

heres a quick update on my life:

ryan & I broke up

I'm living day by day

I'm getting into counseling and seeing a dr about depression medication

I'm looking for a new job

I'm starting an exercise program

I'm gonna stay away from facebook, blogger etc for the next little bit. or maybe I wont. I dont know right now.

I might turn this blog into my survival guide, who knows. all I know right now is if my mom has lived for her 39+ years and survived I can make it though the next 24 hours. and then tomorrow I'll work towards the next 24 hours and so on.

Im Back!!

Y'all I am so sorry I have been to absent here lately. October was one crazy month!

Last weekend my best friend became a MRS and so I've been up to my ears in wedding stuff. It happens. After the wedding, after quite a few drinks my parents & Ryan (who all attending the wedding) decided the words wedding & marriage were off limits for me for the next 2 months. Good thing they don't read my blog!

Here are some photos:

Ryan & I

Leaving on their honeymoon

So thats where I've been the last month or so. Im currently looking for new jobs in atlanta. I have been applying to a few each night hoping for something. Im looking to go into the higher education field so if you have any tips or leads, let me know.

I am obsessed with the Post Secret app on my iPhone. LOVE it!

Ryan & I are doing well. He thinks Im crazy but now that wedding season is over life should calm down a bit.

I ordered an iPhone 4s! Thank G because my 3G is on its last legs. I am looking for a case though - I thought I saw one on a blog once. Its really pretty and there is a space for credit cards & ID in the back? if you know where to buy one please tell me!

Birthday Week

So thursday is my 25th birthday. I have been dreading this day for a while now. I guess I feel like 25 is old. I'm in a new age bracket - mid 20s. Its a little terrifying.

So here is my birthday week schedual -

Monday - normal work

Tuesday - normal work

Wensday - 1/2 day, driving to statesboro, Luke Bryan concert with Ryan

Thursday (my birthday) - early dr apt, spa day, dinner & taking myself to a movie

Friday - career services appointment, light shopping, lazy day.

Saturday - Abbi's bridal shower & GSU home game

Sunday - church & lunch with Abbi's family

I think I'm going to back some scrapbook stuff and take that with me because I think I'll have a fair amount of down time.

On a side note - Ryan almost got me one of these for my birthday:

thankfully I stopped him before he ordered one. no magnetic purse for me, but thanks. I had to smile. Ryan always says how high maintenance I am (which Im not) and yet he was gonna buy me one of these. I may buy my clothes on sale at Old Navy but I try & always carry a designer purse. 

Now after the success of Ryans surprise birthday party a very small part of me is hoping that he is planning something for me - just dinner with my friends. I know its not true, but a little piece of me wants to think that he would put that kinda effort into me. 

So any advice for this soon to be mid 20 year old? 

Birthday Wish List
