So Far It's Been Fun In Asheville

I got here on Monday and I have been busy and having a blast ever since. Lemme see... on Monday, Jared and Katie picked me up from the airport. Guess what happened? The airlines lost my luggage... as usual lol. It's ok because I was reunited with my things a few hours later. Then even later at night we went to the movies and we saw "Precious" with Elizabeth. Ok movie. Honestly, if I attempted to take the trip day by day... I would fail. It's all been one crazy busy blur. Bed time has been after 2am every night. It was 5am last night/this morning! Lol. That was following a 5 hour convo on the phone from 11:30pm-4:30am. <3

Party with Jamie, Jared and Katie

Christmas shopping with Rachel and Jared

Bought new Nike shoes

Went running all over Asheville doing randomness

Ok I can't think of anything else at the moment, but there's plenty lol. Here are some pics from the party... Jamie and I and then Jared and Jamie. Tonight I am going to see "Avatar" in 3D and then we are supposed to get a bit of ice so I will be coming back to the house instead of going out afterwards. And then tomorrow is Christmas so all that stuff is going down and I'm really excited! :D And then Christmas dinner with the family. Can't wait! Then I leave Saturday... and have endless plans from the moment my plane lands at BWI at 9:30pm lol. That will be talked about at a later time. So until then...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Headed To Asheville

Currently about to head to the airport. Im supposed to arrive in Asheville at 2pm. Come home Saturday. I will update ya tonight or tomorrow once im there. As always my twitter will be updated frequently, so just keep checking that.

Also, pictures and stories of the historic blizzard i just experienced will be posted when i get back.

Blizzard!

Long story short. Right now my family and I are preparing for the snowstorm. I am currently sitting outside the grocery store. They are calling for between 15"-20"+ of snow here starting in a few hours. I'm going to a party tonight. This should be interesting. Then to Nics for the night as I mentioned in a previous post. I'm so excited and slightly anxious at how big this storm looks to be.

UPDATE: Here are some pics from the blizzard!

Looking Up? Maybe.

As you have been reading, my emotional posts have mostly lacked happiness. Well im trying to change that image. You see, the past week has been full of unforeseen twists and turns. From meeting new people, reconnected with past friends, to changing plans that should've made me sad... but in fact caused another exciting door to open. I will admit that i am still going thru a rough time. However, in many ways, these last seven days i believe have been monumental in my efforts to move on. And i want to post this and say to myself, life goes on. You can fight it and try and make the Earth stop spinning, or you can go along with it, go for the ride that goes up and down and see where it takes you. I'm voting I hop back on the ride and just go with it. I feel this way now, but probably wont soon enough. But thats why i am posting this. I want to see for myself, that i wrote this. Prove to myself i CAN feel this way and have a positive outlook. Right now i have sooo many things to look forward to in the coming weeks. So im gonna just focus on that, and let everything else fall in to place, and see where i end up next. :)

DC Pictures; Change of Plans

So here are the pics from DC two weekends ago with Elizabeth. Fun times!











Now... as far as my plans for Asheville, NC. I was supposed to leave Saturday morning and fly down... however it seems the east coast is gonna get slammed with a major winter storm tomorrow night thru Sunday morning. Therefore, I have been forced to change my departure date to Monday. I was down about it, but have since made exciting plans for when the snowstorm arrives. :D Spend the night at Nic's tomorrow night, wake up to snow. Play in it with the family. Come inside and drink hot chocolate by the fire listening to Christmas music and then watching "The Family Stone". It's almost like a dream. I can't wait!

What An Emotional Roller Coaster!

Ugh. So, I don't wanna whine or complain, or anything like that... but DARRNNNNN have I gone on a ride since my last post. I hit a low Saturday night when I went on a "date" with a guy for the first time since Nic. Although, I knew nothing would come from it, I was trying to force myself emotionally away from Nic. It didn't work. In fact, the total opposite happened. I saw him immediately after that at a movie party at Dans house, with about 12 other people. I saw Nic as I do almost every other day... but the date left me emotionally vulnerable, and when I accidently saw Nic texting his new interest, Mat, I became very sad... and then he started talking about plans he had with him. It crushed me. I had to go in the other room and cry secretly, then return and sit back next to Nic and act like nothing had happened. Then he left, there was definite tension, not the good kind, between us by the end of the night. His Facebook stated later that night that he was irritated or something. I went to sleep later that night with a feeling of emptiness, sadness... like a pit had been carved in the pit of my soul. When I woke up, it felt the same. I casually rolled over and grabbed my phone, checked my texts and then got on Facebook... that's when it all goes downhill. I became an emotional wreck, I had to drive down to the beach and sit there alllll morning, crying my eyes out for about 3 hours. Then I was convinced by April to move, and come see her... so I did for about 20 mins... then I got the urge to hang with the one girl that ALWAYS makes me laugh... Kristianna. However, she was working at Subway until 3pm... it was only 12. So I went to Subway, and sat there for 3 hours lol. Then we went to the mall and everything was better. We were laughing so hard we were crying and it hurt. Then we met up randomly with soooo many people and saw "The Princess and the Frog". Then Kris and I and Tim went to Double TT. And then home. I've been on a high ever since... I really needed that. Now... as far as the moving situation... I'm not changing anything yet, but when I go to NC, I will be seriously thinking about it.

Here They Are... The BIG Announcements

Announcement Number 1) I'm gonna make this short and sweet. For Christmas, I will be spending Christmas with Jared and his family in Asheville, NC. I'm very excited to see everyone again! All of my NC friends will be there. I will be there from December 19 - December 26. I already have so many plans. One that I'm very excited about is going to the Biltmore Estate and seeing it all decorated :D

Announcement Number 2) This is definitely a shocker to some. I put it on Facebook last night and loved the replies and texts I got afterwards lol. Basically, starting in January, I will be moving back into the Thibodeau household. I will be a roomie, not a live in boyfriend this time lol. Now, honestly, it will be hard for me at times. Cuz Nic and I are no longer together, and seeing him talk to other guys and knowing hes not mine at the end of the day anymore. It sucks. BUT, I feel its worth it. To have my independence. So I'm gonna try it and see how it goes. If it doesn't work out, I can always move back.

Big Announcements In Twelve Hours

You don't wanna miss this. I'm about to go to bed and sleep WAYYYY in. But when I wake up, I'm going to make two pretty big announcements on here. Both took A LOT of thinking and planning and even soul searching. One more so than the other. Check back at around 1PM for the announcement!

Life Is Beginning Again, And I Have A Lot Of Big Decisions To Make

Ok so since the break up the best way to describe myself would be... a depressed zombie. Now I'm starting to crawl out from the darkness and see some signs of light. Its a process, but I'm doing it. However a lot is happening right now. Even tho we are broken up, I am spending a lot of time at the Thibodeau household. And chilling with them. And I'm loving it. It's getting easier and easier to see Nic. We've talked things out and worked out a good friendship plan :) Hopefully it works as good as we intend it to. I went back to work this week and I'm glad to be back at work. I didn't get much sleep at all this week. A few nights I went to bed around 2:30am and got up at 6:20am. I'm exhausted, but I'm too busy with friends to worry about it. Always on the run doing something. Like last night I went over the Tibs house and helped decorate for Christmas. As seen in the below picture (altho it is blurry its me lol)

After that we had dinner and watched some TV and had fun times. Then today, I went to work and am going BACK over there tonight and chilling for a while, even tho I'm dead tired and need sleep desperately. Haha. THEN, tomorrow I am going to Washington DC to stay with Elizabeth while she visits this weekend. I'm so excited! And guess what? Next week is pretty much already booked every single day. So friggin busy. Now onto some more... serious news...

I have some decisions I need to make. One is private and only one person knows about it. And would change a lot of things... but that one is more of a future thing. The more immediate one is a pretty big deal as well. I've been offered to move somewhere and I really want to. But I don't know if it's whats best for me. I have to think about it and will probably decided in a few days. When anything happens with either of these announcements, of course I will update it. :D
