Craziness As Spring Semester Comes To A Close

School is kicking itself into high gear as the semester is coming to a close. Today I finished an article for the Atlanta Hawks, and wrote a tweleve page paper for Sports Marketing (ew) and took a Sports Sociology quiz. I'm pretty spent. I did however, take a three hour nap earlier in the eveing so I am just now winding down, and have class tomorrow from 8-12:45..not terribly bad. Tommy continues to be at Spring Training and hopefully they will let them leave on Easter and he can come visit me for a few hours. It is out of his way, but he insists (and I'm not complaining!) I have an awesome Football Scheduling Project to do in my Sports Leadership class. Its very detailed and crazy, but sounds fun, so I don't confuse you just know that for my project I have to represent Syracuse University as their Athletic Director and schedule 6 conference games, and 6 non-conference games, and try to make a decent amount of money, if thats possible in the Big East. Connor and Tommy are gonna help me with it because Syracuse just is not a football school, now if it were basketball we would be talking! haha! But thats what is going on so far. About to go to sleep soon...missing Tommy and so ready to see him! Please continue to keep me and him and both our families in your prayers! Thanks so much and God Bless each of you!

Back To School...Back To Work

Ok so back to school. Spring Break was so nice, and now...back to work. (long sigh) Graduation is one year away, and college has flew by, but on Mondays like today...it creeps. Finals are soon approaching and I have soooo many papers and tests coming up that I would like to cry. BUT I refuse to cry for Sports Managements sake. I will win this war and come out with a degree haha! Sorry, I just needed to motivate myself there for a minute. ANYWAYS, Spring Training is coming to a close, and for now, it looks like Tommy will end up in Mississippi, which is about six hours away from here, not a bad drive. I will be out there for Opening Day so far, and I am so excited to see him pitch again. If they give him enough time he is going to spend Easter with me which I would love!! Yesterday, I went to Hawks College Media Day, which is a big deal because only a handful of people were chosen to go throughout the state. Got to listen to some great speakers, watch the game from the press box, and sit in on the coach's press conference. It was a great experience and I loved hearing the speakers, very informational. My birthday is now 27 days away, and I can't wait. I feel SO OLD. Why you say...it's only 20. Well, I feel old because for my birthday I have asked for pant suits and a personalized padfolio. Haha, I guess thats what I get for graduating college ten days after I turn 21. I have to grow up sooner than the rest, which I don't mind, as long as the wrinkles don't come with it too!! But my birthday always excites me! Below I posted some pics from the Hawks College Media Day. Blog back soon! Take care everyone!

Spring Training

Just got back from Spring Training a few days ago. God granted me a safe trip there and back so all praise to Him. It was so great to see Tommy again!! I love baseball season. It is packed full of energy and excitement, and you can tell by the look in Tommy's eyes that he is so happy to be back on the mound. He is doing well so far, and his arm feels good. Please continue to pray that his health continues to do well. Spring Training is always so much fun to me. Orlando is a wonderful, and magical place to be, especially with the guys playing inside of Disney. My days were spent waking up, grabbing some breakfast, and heading to the field till a little after noon to watch stretch, practice, and games against the Tigers and Astros. I mostly watched, and read my book (Columbine), which Tommy didn't like since we are reading the same book and having a race to finish.



I'm winning by a few chapters by the way! The first day we grabbed some Steak & Shake with Fisher and B. Johnson, which was AMAZING, and our default restaurant while in Orlando. Then we played some putt-putt golf at Fantasia Gardens (Hardest Putt-Putt Golf Course in The World). No but really. I didn't dub it that, pro-golf people did, haha! After that some much needed sleep, and back to the fields. Also went to Downtown Disney for some jellybeans (our weakness!). Trust me, Jelly Belly's will be at our wedding...particularly Toasted Marshmellow, Watermelon, and the Soda ones that Tommy likes. Had a new experience at the restaurant Chevy's (not my deal) because apparantly nachos aren't what I thought they were, but Tommy made it better by asking the balloonist there to make me a pink penguin (my fav animal)!



We also visited the Gaylord Palms, which was beautiful inside, and promised we would stay a night when we brought our children there someday. Some other fun times were going to Whole Foods, Mama Nems', my FIRST EVER visit to Five Guys (amazing!), making friends with the security guards, and becoming the world's best hider at hide-and-go-seek. Spring Training is beautiful, and warmer than here, so beautiful. I love love love it there. But soon, it will be time to be moving on to a team, its looking like Mississippi as of now. But for now, I am back at home, about to get ready to finish up the semester. So hard to believe that in one year I will be graduating and only ten days into my twenty-first year of life. My 20th birthday is coming up soon :), pretty excited about that! But anyways, Tommy is pitching today. Prayers that he does well, and continues to shine on the field of baseball and on the field of God. Also keep us in your prayers about this summer. I will be taking on four classes this summer, and an eighteen hour load in the Fall so I can graduate next May. With four classes I will be in school every day (excluding weekends) allll summer long, so seeing Tommy will be much much harder than normal. So just pray for that, and hopefully he will move up to Gwinnett and make things much easier! I will leave you with a quote I heard yesterday, that I love.

Update Because It Has Been So Long!

Ok so it has been more than a long time since I last posted and so much has went on. But let me update you to where I am now in my life. Things are spinning quickly. I am still forever blessed by my Lord and Savior. I work at Aeropostale...a few hours a week, I will be graduating next May (one year! yay!), it is that time of year again for baseball and I will soon be going to Spring Training which is very exciting, and Tommy has bought me THE most beautiful promise ring EVER :) We are also reading a book called Columbine by Dave Cullen, its a race to see who will finish first. To be honest it will be a close race. He is down at Spring Training, and I will go visit him there, and then soon after its off to wherever he will go from there. It is getting crunch time here at school for coming finals in about a month and a half. SO exciting...rarely. haha. I am looking at moving into a new apartment which is exciting. I will have a full bed, and washer and dryer at my beck and call :) So far thats what is new. I will try to blog later! See ya'll!

Back At School

Wow! It's been so long since I blogged. So I'm moved in my apartment here back at school. All decorated...in pink AS ALWAYS :) I love it. It is definitely my home away from home and I love it being pink. Missed my room mates and so glad we are back together! I am active in the BCM again, and it is great fun. We have a fall festival coming up and I will be going as Elle Woods from Legally Blonde, and I am super excited about that. Pictures to be posted for sure on that! I am actively looking for a job, and have been since July. I had an interview with Buckle at the mall yesterday and should hear from that in the next few days (fingers definitely crossed on that!) 40% discount if I work there, and I definitely would love the clothes, haha. This month is pretty good, only two tests and fall break is right around the corner. After Halloween I know that I will be in full fledged Christmas mood. (I am already!). Tommy will be here in November, and I already am trying to book my flight to California, so expensive :-P. Yesterday was our 14 months, it seems time has passed by so fast. Distance is not fun. That is for sure. I am so ready for him to be back here. I need a date night, haha. Well I am about to get up, get some food, get ready for TNL at the BCM tonight, and head that way. Hope everyone had a blessed day!
