Welcome Home

There are exactly TWO WEEKS until this semester comes to an end, and I can say I survived my first year away at Big Girl School!:) I have a new apartment and I am counting down the days until I move in! (Three-and-a-half-months!) To celebrate (and ease my stress during the most. stressful. two. weeks. ever.), I've decided to put together a list of some of the things I plan to buy pretty soon for my new place.

1.) Super Mario Bros. Refrigerator Magnets-Etsy, $7.00

2.) Paper Lanterns-Pottery Barn Teen, $7.99-19.00

3.) Mustache Pillowcase-Etsy, $34.00

4.) Giant Scrabble Tiles- Etsy, $12.40

5.) 3-D Toile Full Apron- anthropologie.com, $32.00

I can't wait to spend even more time procrastinating on Pinterest! I'm too excited!:)

(P.S.- Who got a 95 on their major paper for Sociology of Religion and ACED their Oral Interview in Spanish today? THIS GIRL:))

Happy Midweek. 

Love, Ty:)

Do The Panic

(A little bit of a throwback from the wonderful shoot I did last summer with Kendra Michelle Photography:))

I'm very happy to report that I haven't had any more panic attacks since Thursday night. Now if I can make it for the next two weeks, I'll be in the clear! This weekend was pretty slow. Ethan and I (sort of) celebrated our six months today. Happy six months! If by "celebrated" you mean how I spent the majority of today in the computer lab with Pandora blasting in my ears while I crunched the final numbers on my Marriage & Family project while Ethan stayed in his room studying Spanish and we ate CiCi's afterwards, then we did it big. I'm happy to be feeling like myself again. Friday was sorta like an out-of-body experience. I'm hoping that this week will be tons better. This week, I get to tackle putting my things in storage, finishing up last projects, and trying to stay sane.

Happy Sunday. 

Love, Ty:)

Pretty Wings

This has been by far one of the roughest weeks I've had since I've been in Denton. I worked a TON this week, because we were so short-staffed. I'm down to the wire in my last two major projects for the year, and I had a couple of small anxiety attacks last night because of my emetophobia.:( (Which was embarrassing, to say the least.) Here's the Awkward & Awesome rundown, and some of the many things I'm still thankful for, despite how crappy I feel right now.

Awkward:
-I've been training for my new Student Coordinator position (Yes, this girl got a promotion!) for a week and I already want to shoot myself. Somebody please remind me how nice that pay raise is going to feel.
-All these extra hours at work are killing me.
-My last two projects are due this next week. Which means happy-fun homework time all weekend. Yay...
-Even though I'm ready to leave my dorm, I'm not happy about all the packing I have to do.
-My emetophobia reared its ugly head last night at an outing for one of my good friends. One of the people with us got sick and as usual, I hyperventilated and RAN for the nearest exit. Also I hid across the street. Then I had a panic attack. Then I went home and had a couple in my sleep. Not. Cool. 
-I'm still a bit on edge. I've been very emotional and anxious today.
-Worked both of my jobs today. The. End.




Awesome:
-There are only ELEVEN more class days left before I get to go to East Texas for a little vacation before my Summer classes!:D I'M SO READY.
-I got a promotion!
-I've made good grades to close out this semester!
-I get to resign from my second job this next week. FINALLY. 
-This hellish week is finally over!
-I know I always have my best friend beside me, even when I'm panicky and emotional and not feeling like myself. I love you, Ethan:) <3
-I'm still standing through all my anxieties and I'm not giving up:) THREE MORE WEEKS AND TY SAYS JUST BRING IT!!
-I have officially decided that alcohol is not for me. I don't really drink, but I most def have no plans to start drinking any more frequently. I like my life, sober, and with my guy chilling:)
-I get to start shopping for cute stuff for the new apartment soon. Yes!


I'm thankful for...
-My loving boyfriend
-My health
-The fact that God gave me wisdom and class
-Repentance 
-My good grades!
-My job (most of the time)
-How close we are to the end of this semester!
-My new apartment
-New opportunities
-New days
-Cute Punk guys
-Glasses
-Coldplay;) (Don't judge!)

Enjoy this image of CM Punk, the Hot Guy of The Week. It made me smile:)

Love, Ty:)

Just a Girl

The lovely Charlotte Taylor did this drawing of Ethan for Valentine's Day:) It's sitting in his room, on his shelf and I liked it so much I just wanted to look at it again.

So far, it's been a pretty productive week! I've registered for all of my classes for Summer and Fall term and have done all my work required for the week. (So maybe I'll finally have some time to edit and upload those dang Spring Break pictures!) Tonight I turned on some 90's Pandora and have been jamming the heck out of some No Doubt while I was doing some Spanish exercises. I'm hoping I keep up this momentum for the rest of the week. 

Oh, yeah, our Hot Guy of The Week is none other than Mr. Olympic Gold Medalist, Kurt Angle!:D

I. Love. Wrestling. It's true. 

Later. Days. 

Love, Ty:)

Dog Days Are Over

(Our Easter weekend, in pictures!)

I haven't blogged in about two weeks, which is a new record for me. Here's what's gone down since my last post.

Awkward:
-I'm so tired of seeing all this hype about Titanic. That movie gives me panic attacks and I HATE it. With a passion. 
-If I see one more person on Facebook get pregnant and/or engaged, I. Will. Scream.
-My hair has been uncooperative lately. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I missed my touch-up appointment. 
-These weeks before finals and moving are going to be the longest, most expensive, busiest weeks of my life.
-Having to move all my stuff. I start mailing things out this week/weekend.
-Not being with my family on Easter. First time in years (or ever) that I haven't been with family for Easter.
-Having unnecessary drama on Facebook. I don't do drama, and especially not over the Internet.
-Kinda sad that I'll be leaving Legends soon. And leaving Ethan for a few weeks. Blah.
-Finals? Eww.

Awesome:
-I HAVE A NEW APARTMENT! I signed my lease Monday. I move in August 15:)
-Had an advising appointment Thursday. I officially graduate next Summer!
-I got a raise at my second job (again!)
-Only four more weeks of school left!!!
-Spending time with Ethan's family has been great.
-All my bills are paid! Yes!:)
