Rest of Ocean City Trip...

So it's been over a week since David and I got back from OC, but I'm just now gonna tell you about it lol. So I left you off right before we hit Ripley's Believe It or Not, the mirror maze and the lazer maze. Well they were all so fun! David and I had a blast!

Sunday: Sunday, we laid out and tanned quite a bit. We hit up the arcade some more I think, walked around and just enjoyed the sights. We also decided that we wanted to stay an extra day... so we decided to leave on Tuesday instead of Monday.

Monday: So we had to switch rooms quickly and after that.. we tanned some more and walked around, had a nice dinner. Just chilled. The last couple of days in OC we very relaxing and just nice :)

Tuesday: So we wake up early... like 6:45am early (thanks babe lol) and we pack up and then go for a bike ride in the morning on the boardwalk. That was SOOO fun. I'm glad David wanted to do that. I will probably do that every time I go now. Here's a video of that...

Then we returned them and walked around a bit, played some more at the Arcade. Got fudge and popcorn and a funnel cake and made our way back home. :) It was a very nice "honeymoon" type of vacation. For future reference, The Hotel Monte Carlo is very nice and convenient.
Here are some pics from the trip :)

Having a Great Time in OC

So in an attempt to keep my blog better updated, I'm trying to get back to mobile blogging as well, so that's what I'm doing lol. Anyway, yesterday David and I got here at around noon, I got a speeding ticket for doing 70 in a 55 as soon as we got into Ocean City... YAY MY FIRST TICKET! I blame it solely on the fact David was in the car haha. Anyway we were able to check in early and hit the boardwalk. We enjoyed some Thrasher's Fries and played a lot of arcade games and did a lot of walking and people watching. We enjoyed a candle lit bath in the jaccuzzi in our room and got to bed. I didn't sleep too well cuz of loud neighbors.

Today we have walked around a lot again. Tanned on the beach for a bit. played a couple hours sort of mini golf. And again, enjoyed another candle lit bath in the jaccuzzi.

Now we are about to head on out and go to Ripleys Believe It or Not and see the museum, go thru the mirror maze and the later maze. So excited! Then walk around some more and eventually eat a late dinner.

WE ARE DEFINITELY HAVING A BLAST SO FAR THIS WEEKEND!

Goodbye PRS Guitars

Yes, that's right. I was going to announce it on my site last week, but I became very busy and didn't find the time, and I'm working on that. But yes, I decided to part ways from the company that has seen me grow and change so much. When I started at PRS, I had never kissed anyone before except a peck on the lips in 3rd grade with Ashley Smith. And certainly had I never kissed a guy. I had never held a guys hand. I never had a boyfriend. But that all changed in my 2 years working at PRS Guitars. My first kiss, my first love, my first boyfriend, my first everything really. PRS Guitars will always be the place that I grew from a boy to a man. And I will miss the atmosphere and people and casual job I had. Whether it was listening to my iPod while scuffing covers and dancing to Britney Spears, or holding a guitar headed to the hands of a superstar rockstar, PRS Guitars will always hold fond memories for me in my heart. So why am I leaving? Well to put it the best way possible, sometimes you need to know when to leave the party. And my time would be now. Where do I go from here? I don't know exactly. And that's kind of daunting, yet very exciting as well. I have some ideas, but I won't detail them until something is more official. To sum it all up... I have been very fortunate to work for a place like PRS Guitars and it has helped me grow in every way imaginable and I am eternally grateful for it and leave with nothing but positive thoughts and wishes for the company and employees. And, of course on my last day working there, yesterday May 26, I wore my PRS Guitars shirt, white shorts and danced to Britney Spears one last time. Thanks for all the memories PRS!

A Months Worth Of Chaotic Life In A Few Lines...

WOWOWOWOWOW! Where do I even BEGIN to start with this update. It's been WAYYYY overdue. Last week I said I'd update then, and I didn't. But now I am. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much has happened. And I am really tired cuz it's 2am and I got up at 6:20am for work yesterday and haven't been asleep yet. So I'm going to do my best to cover all bases without going crazy with details. A month is a lot to cover in one post, especially when it's been as crazy as the last month. Maybe this would be a good time to just use bullet points for quick but informative reading? Yes that sounds good. See, I'm so tired I'm thinking out loud with text haha. Ok let's try and do this.

• - David and I were mugged in Bowie. They didn't get anything, just cornered us and I talked them down and they left.
• - I made a very HUGE decision that I will cover at the end of this post.
• - I've been staying with David every weekend and even more sometimes.
• - My aunt Lisa had to have a total hysterectimy.
• - I'm still going to physical therapy for the car accident, it FINALLY seems to be helping
• - David and I went to Ocean City on Friday May 21. It was a day trip.
• - All KIHS Seniors had prom on Saturday the 22nd, and at midnight David and I went to KI and picked up Kristianna and went to the Double TT Diner and ate there until 2am. Then drove around until 3:10am. That was an "interesting" time. Fun too.
• - David and I hit a rough patch. I will admit. And I only talk about it because it was made public in ways. So I will be respectful and simply use David's own public words on the situation..."Problems have been resolved :)" and "I had some issues I had to work on... But now I'm putting in my best effort =)" His exact words <3
• - I have lost a very close friend of mine. Not to death, but it is her choice. I will miss her friendship, but won't say anything further on it for obvious privacy reasons.
• - I am no longer going to Senior Week 2010 in OC with Courtney and Kristianna
• - I have started tanning again. However it may only be for this month do to money concerns.
• - I got a buzz cut, by accident, but it looks ok I guess.

I think that's the best I can do! I know I'm missing a lot of details and probably some big stuff, but at least this covers some stuff! Oh and I have a HUGE announcement I will make right after I post this, so it will be the post directly above this one. It's big.

Haha

This is one of those times I tell you I have a HUGE update coming. By tomorrow I will have one very long informative post and also another post with big news. Check back to tomorrow!  Maybe even tonight. :)

Busy Busy Busy!

So I haven't updated in quite a while. But I have about five minutes left on my lunch break so I thought I'd put my phone to good use and update ya. Nothing too big has happened since my exciting previous update. I've been staying with David (world's best boyfriend) a lot and seeing him often (which I love). I'm even starting to stay Sunday nights and getting up with him at 5:30am on Mondays and head to work then from PG county. Only love would motivate me to be willing to get up that early lol. Ugh I'm so happy with him. Things are different with him than past situations. I am so lucky. Last Thursday we had an amazing movie night at Amanda's. We had delicious food and watched Avatar. <3 I'm so mushy gushy and happy when I talk about him, which is allllll the time haha. But yeah, I need to go now. Lunch is over. You've been updated! :D

Mic & David

As of Thursday, April 15, David and I are officially together. He is my boyfriend! :D Mark it down on your calendars and make sure to send us anniversary gifts :P

Wednesday 14 - Sunday 18

Alright so I am still recovering from the car accident on the 8th, however my doctor has encouraged me to start living my life as normal as possible, so that's what I have attempted to do. I went over to David's on Wednesday. And thats where my week starts.

Wednesday - So I went over to David's for Wednesday night. Nothing really happened. We sat around and talked a lot. We didn't get to bed until around 4:00 AM.

Thursday - After sleeping a whole 2.5 hours, David and I got up and went to his neurologist appointment at 6:30 AM. That was interesting. His doctor works out of his basement lol. We had to walk in a side door, thru his garage, into his living room and then down stairs into the basement, lol. David liked and trusted him though, so that's good. Then we got back home but we left again to drop off his meds and all that stuff. Honestly, I can't remember much about that day. I was so tired. I think we took a nap? I'm not sure lol. Then something MAJOR happened on Thursday night... I will cover that in an entirely new post after I finish this one.

Friday - OK so I sleep in and then on Friday I head to my doctors appointment for my back/spine. I'm told that I had pretty severe trauma done to my spinal muscles, but nothing permanent and nothing was broken. So YAY! I start physical therapy this coming Wednesday, the 21st, and back to work the next day after that :D FINALLY! Then I met David on the island and we went to Christie's birthday party. That was fun. Then David and I got back to his place at like 1:30 AM.

Saturday - I really did nothing on Saturday. I think we slept off and on until like 4:00 PM lol. We just hung out basically, ate some Chinese and watched home videos of David from when he was tiny lol. Oh and I gave him his 2.6 lb bag of peanut M&Ms and his card. He liked it :)

Sunday - Slept in again and then we literally just did nothing all day. In the evening he took me home. And that was that :) Now, make sure you read the post right above this one, it's important, big news :D

Car Accident

So, Thursday I was in a car accident with David. I've been out of work since and tomorrow I get a CT of my head, an MRI of my neck and X-Rays of my spine. I don't know how bad off I am, I guess we will see. Being off work this long is driving me crazy! Like, I instantly want to go back all of a sudden. Ugh. Anyway, I'm not going to post pics of the accident, it's depressing. The car may declared "totaled" later this week. And that would suck. Hopefully they just fix it. Here's a pic of David in the hospital waiting to be seen.
We are ok I suppose. David and I both have physical therapy to go through, but hopefully we are back to 100% soon.

Ohhhhhhhhh

So. Sick. Body aches. Coughing. Sore throat. Congestion. Ugh. And its about 90* outside and sunny and Spring Break and I can't do anything. This sucks. Hardcore. Yesterday the sore throat was the worst thing... now its the body aches. I'm hoping this goes away by the weekend so I can spend all weekend with David feeling good.

UPDATE: My day just got so much better :D David sent flowers, a card and a "Get Well" balloon to me! This seriously has me very happy right now :)

Thursday-Sunday = Perfect :)

Alright so lemme 'splain what has happened since my last, well, quite forward post lol. Most of it deals with David but there are also other things too that we get to cover :D Lets do this day by day.

Thursday- Ok so thankfully this weekend is a 3 day weekend thanks to Good Friday. So Thursday was my last day of the week to work. David and I have been talking non stop all week. And Thursday while working we were both saying how we needed something to do after work. So, we decided to hang out. We already had plans with each other for Friday and Saturday, so we just added Thursday to the mix lol. He came to the island and we walked the Terrapin Park trail and then went to Christie's where Courtney, Kristianna, Dan, Christie, David and I watched "The Blind Side". :) That was a good night.

Friday- Slept in. Then I went and picked up David. And guess what? WE WENT TO THE CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL IN DC! Omg, it was so amazing. The trees, the monuments, the weather. And the thing that made it perfect? Holding David's hand the entire time. :) It's actually kinda hard to describe how awesome the day was. We walked around the entire Tidal Basin, went to the Jefferson Memorial and Washington Monument. And then just walked around talking :)



Afterwards we went out to dinner and then went back to his place. I met his family and then we went to his room and watched "House Bunny" (love that movie). Afterwards we kinda fell asleep for a bit... woke up at 2:30am and decided I should stay the night. We were up talking until 7am! :D The sun literally came up before we went to sleep. Then we slept on and off until like 2pm lol. I rushed home, and got ready for the party later on in the day Saturday...

Saturday- Got ready for the party. Went to Erics and the fun began lol. David made it about an hour later and we had a BLAST all night. The whole gang, about 20, welcomed David with open arms. Eric and Ken even welcomed him with a rape sandwich lol. Poor David :P

We were there until a bit after midnight and then we said our long goodbye and he went home. And guess what?

Sunday- I already miss him :P
UPDATE: At the last minute, David and I went to the movie and saw "Clash of the Titans" in 3D. :) Four days in a row :D

What Is This? :D

You know... when you know something is right, you just know. When something feels "at home" with you, you just know. When something takes over your emotions and makes everything good for a little bit and puts a never ending smile on your face, you just know. Well guess what?... I KNOW. :) At least for now. Lol. I've met someone. And, no matter how perfect and AMAZING previous guys have been... sometimes it just doesn't click. Sometimes, no matter what you do, the fit just isn't right, and in the end, you just don't "know". Well, that's NOT the case with this new person. His name is David. Now, I JUST met him a few days ago. And we hung out yesterday. We went to the mall, watched a movie and walked around downtown Annapolis and just talked and talked and TALKED. It came so naturally. :) And let me tell you... I haven't been this giddy in a long time, if ever. We have definitely, in our short friendship, clicked very well. We talk non stop, all day, finding out more and more about each other. Now, it HAS only been a FEW days that we've known each other. And when I say I "know"... that doesn't mean he's "the one" or I foresee a long future with him. All I mean by that, at least for now, is that he is the first person in quite some time that I could see a potential future with. Not gonna push it too much right now. But at this moment, and it could change at any other given moment, but, right now, in THIS moment... things look very positive and exciting. :)

The Last Two Weeks

They have been CRAZY! Um, lets start off with last week. I didn't go to work at all (personal issues), and I had very little down/free time. However, when I was able to, I hung out with John since he was up here for spring break. Some nights I was up until 6am! It was overall a pretty bad and dark week... but lets not delve into that. Umm, I started going to the gym and eating a LOT less food. I'm trying to lose about 20 lbs as FAST AS POSSIBLE. So I'm going to the gym at least 3 days a week and working out for 2 hours each time. It's intense and time consuming, especially after a full day of work, but I'm determined! So anyway, that is a very short version of my last week. Now, this week. On Monday, Aris and April and I went to the movies and saw "Alice in Wonderland" in 3D. IT SUCKED! One of the worst movies I've ever seen in a movie theater! I was disappointed. Then afterwards, a long story short, Aris and I are no longer talking and April and I are... well I don't know. Tuesday, I went on a walk with Wade on the trail. And Today, I went to the gym and random little things after work. A pretty decent day :) All in all, life is filled with rollercoaster rides and ups and downs. This week is definitely headed in an "up" trend. Hopefully it stays that way for a while! :P

Oh God

I'm at a photo shoot. With Molly, Nic, Mat, Will, Wade, Eric, Dan, Ken and Christie and Iris. Nuf said.

Bleh

Well that pretty much sums it all up and how I feel. Life kinda is a drag right now. I don't know what to think or how to feel. My self esteem is rock bottom. As is my drive. It sucks. I really don't know what to do. I hope I'm not headed to a dark place again... but all signs point that way. :/ BTW the picture doesn't necessarily mean one person. Just a track record of my life... but one person does out weigh them all when it comes to this.

Yup, It Was A Crazy Yet Fun Weekend!

Ohhhhh Saturday night. Saturday, Saturday night. Crazy times. I knew it was coming too lol. Let's see if I can remember the bullet points. Hmm, we went out to a bar/restaurant called The Tortoise and the Hare for Jonathan's birthday. I had a few drinks there. And then we went to the club, APEX, and I had a lot to drink there. So I suppose you can say I kinda got really drunk. Thankfully it doesn't happen often at all. But I had a blast. After clubbing, at like 3:30am, we all (about 10 people) went walking down the streets of DC looking for pizza... no idea why tho lol. And then we went home. It was a lot of fun and here are some pics to show ya what went down.

Annie; This Weekend Is Gonna Be Crazy

Last night I went to the opening night of KIHS' "Annie". And I loved it. I had a blast and really loved seeing everyone, some of who I hadn't seen in months. It was a great night :) The picture above is me wearing part of Courtney's maid outfit lol.

So I am mentally and physically preparing myself for this weekend. Jonathan (Aris' roommate) is throwing a weekend long party for him turning 21. I know clubbing will be involved, and even tho its not my scene at all, I am going to try my best to enjoy myself and let go. I hope to have a great time and have fun :) and I get to see Aris all weekend which is a huge "YAY!". I HOPE to post some pictures from this weekend, but that almost never happens. Haha. So I'm going to get off of here and go shower and get ready to head to VA/DC for the weekend! :D

P.S. FOLLOW ME AT twitter.com/micvachon

Always Busy

So last weekend I went and spent it with Aris. Of course we had a blast as usual. During the weekend I was convinced to let Jonathan cut and style my hair, although not quite yet. I also decided on a color scheme for my black and white bedroom. And finally I already am completely booked for this weekend due to Jonathan's up coming birthday bash. I realize I really do need to start posting pictures from my adventures on here more. Always remember to check my Facebook and Twitter for the most frequent and up to date info and pictures of whats happening in my life.

On to more, well, less fun things... my dentist is fixing my mouth lol. I had a minor minor MINOR case of gum disease... it was in its embryotic stage haha. But yeah im having several procedures done to fix the problem. In two weeks i am gonna go thru a painful deep clean on my right side and in the beginning of April my left side will be done. Afterwards im going to look into perfectly straightening my already straightish teeth, and then whitening my already pearly whites. :P

Now we move onto my body... it's the fattest and most out of shape it has been in YEARS! But thats gonna change. Starting this week I go back to the gym and in April I start tanning again.  I have to whip my body into tip top shape before senior week in ocean city the beginning of June.

"The Crazies"

Tonight I went with Kristianna and Courtney to see "The Crazies". I have never heard either one of them scream as much as they did during that movie... and I was sitting in between them lol. It wouldn't surprise me if I went deaf. Now did I scream? Only two or three times. All the other times everyone screamed I was hiding behind my hands haha. It was a really good movie and we had an awesome time. :) oh an guess what? I GOT GLASSES! Mostly for driving. DC to see Aris tomorrow!

I Love My Life Right Now

It has nothing to do with a guy. Or anything like that. Take away anything to deal with "guys" and right now, my life is AMAZING. And I can only see how things will get even better as days go by. At the end of 2009 and the very beginning of 2010, I was scared of what 2010 might bring and I didn't want to let 2009 go. But OH BOY let me tell you, I am running full speed ahead into 2010 now, without looking back. I am SO EXCITED about life now. Everything is coming together. This year, I am doing ME. I am happy with ME. And no one else. If a guy comes along, so be it. Maybe tomorrow, maybe 2 years from now. That, however, is not my focus. Right now my focus is me and my future, and boy does it look amazing. Hello 2010! 2011, HERE I COME! ;)

Happy Valentine's Day!

So I've met a guy. I've actually known him for a while now, but not closely. Then a few weeks ago April told me he was talking about me and well I guess one thing let another and now he and I are talking. He's entirely too sweet. Very kind and giving. I went and spent the night at his place last night near DC and got to meet his roommate and some friends. That was fun. :) we had dinner in DC, rented a movie from Blockbuster. Overall we had a great time. He even surprised me with some roses and chocolates at midnight for Valentine's. THATS what kind of guy he is. :) Now before he entered my life I was not looking for anyone. I was very happy being single, and still am. But this guy may be too good to let go. So slowly forward I go. Letting him in a tiny bit at a time. And we will see where it goes.

Second Blizzard In 5 Days

This year has been nothing but snow snow snow so far! Let's recap. In middle December we had Blizzard No.1. It dropped about 20"+ of snow. January we had a few little storms come thru providing us with constant yet tolerable snowfall. The end of January ended with a surprise snowstorm of 8" on Saturday and Sunday. It kept me snowed in for two days. Then Monday-Thursday were fine... but then on Friday, Blizzard No. 2 began. And boy was it a big one. Newscasters dubbed it "The Snowpocalypse" and President Obama called it "Snowmageddon". We got 28" of snow Friday and Saturday. I left work halfday Friday to avoid hazardous roads. I pretty much was snowed in completely thru Tuesday (yesterday), except we did manage to get the van out and get supplies before this next Blizzard hit. Now we move on to today, Wednesday. Day 5 of being snowed in. The blizzard has hit and we are going no where. It's unbelievable. For once I actually miss going into work and seeing other people lol. Hopefully this is the last of the blizzards for the year. It's been intense for sure. We have already surpassed the record for the snowiest year on record. Approaching 70"! And to literally have 2 Blizzard WARNINGS posted for Queen Anne's county in 5 days is unreal. Who knows whats next. Take a look at this picture I just took moments ago, pretty awesome huh!?



UPDATE: Here are some pictures a couple days after the storm.

Below: Can't see out to the road to see if it's safe to pull out or not.

"Snowpocalypse"

Record breaking blizzard! The blizzard warning went into effect at 7pm Friday and ended about 24 hours later. What a ride that was! The blizzard of 2010 gave Stevensville 28" of snow! INCREDIBLE! Here are some pictures :)

Historic Blizzard Underway

May be the largest snowfall in our history.

OOOOHHHHHHHHHH KKKAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY

I suck at updating. I admit it. And I don't even have an excuse to not update, cuz I have an app on my phone that posts right to Micvachon.com. Anyway what has been happening in my life? Welll... a lot lol. And if I updated like I USED to, you'd know all the juicy details. But I guess the majors are snow and cold and friends. First of all... we have had such a snowy winter! Its crazy! Lol. I got snowed in last Saturday from a snowstorm and we had more snow yesterday and a blizzard is headed our way Friday and Saturday and ANOTHER snowstorm NEXT Tuesday! AH! It's insane. We haven't had a time where we haven't had a pile of snow on the ground since the blizzard in the middle of December! Honestly, it's been much, and I'm SOOOOOOO ready for summer lol. But yeah, looks like a lot more winter and snow is on the way!
Ok so other than snow, keeping me in, lol... I've just been chilling with friends... nothing too crazy or anything. I have decided to just post a whole bunch of pictures of friends from the past weeks... haha. No rhyme or reason to them. I really really hope to update more... even with little things... I just need to have the self discipline for it haha.

Movies and Midnight Bowling

Sooo for like several weeks now, pretty much all of January, I've gone to every single movie that has come out... and every Friday I have gone midnight bowling with friends. I've gone with Courtney, Kristianna, Tim (haha), John C., Austin, Travis, Christie, Will and Travis. Lots of bowling time lol. Also, movies... I've probably spent close to $400 on movies this month. I know that's hard to believe... but I've gone to a movie like ten days in a row now lol. It's bad. I'm hoping in February to pull back on going out a bit and working on spending some time with myself. That sounds good... even productive. I will keep you posted. :)

2009 Review

So I finally made my review for 2009... I placed it at the beginning of the month where it belongs (and where I actually started writing it lol) So scroll down a few posts and read it! :D

I'm Meeting Kathy Griffin Today!

Ok so yes I am still going to get my review out. And yes I will still get my eyes checked... just not until next week. Now, today is ALL about Kathy Griffin. I woke up this morning, saw she was in DC, and im about an hour, Nic (who is a huge fan of her) and I will be headed her way to get books signed and hopefully pictures taken. Follow my Twitter for the exciting play by play today!

UPDATE! Heres a pic!

I'm So Sorry For No Updates This Month

This is hands down the worst month in history as far as updates go. I know at the beginning of the month i promised a review of the past year, month by month, and i had 10 months completed... and i just havent been able to complete those last two months! I will try to get to it as soon as possible. I have a feeling that January 2010, altho one of my most interesting and drama filled months in my life, will simply be recorded falsely as a non event. However, when i do post my review for 2009, my intent is to also make another post outlining, or at least doing my best to touch the majors that have occured this month. Cuz theres been a lot. Probably enough to make a good book...maybe even a movie lol. Hopefully i can get to this tomorrow, however i am getting my eyes tested so that might not be possible. We shall see. I am in the middle of a furlough week from work (thank you economy) so i SHOULD have some time this week to work on my updates and then hopefully find that February is a better month for updating, or a better month just in general for me.

2009, The Best Year of My Life

So now that 2010 has begun, it is time to briefly look back at the year that just passed. And boy, what a year it was! 2009 was easily the most exciting, lifeful, fun, amazing and best year of my life. I cannot explain how much I loved this past year. It was like I was on top of a mountain looking down at my previous years. I will miss 2009, it was full of so many incredible and unforgettable adventures and experiences with new friends and people I love. So lets take a look at the best year of my life on a month to month basis, and see how I got to where I am today. To see any pics from 2009, just go to that months posts in the sidebar.

JANUARY: The year didn't start out so great, because January is when I experienced my first kidney stone. No fun lol. However January quickly became one of the most memorable months in my life when I got a visit from a certain two people... Jared and Elizabeth! We all know where that went. I started to be true to myself, allow me to be ME and I got my first boyfriend. I also planned my first trip to visit Jared's family. I met some new friends in January as well... Amanda, Bethany, Olivia and Travis. :)

FEBRUARY: At the start of the month I went to Salisbury University and spent the weekend in the dorm and had a blast with some aquaintances. It was cool, and fun to experience that :) Also in February, after many many years, Ashley Smith and I reconnected, and now to this day she is like family :) And finally to round out the month, I made my very first (of many) trip to Asheville, NC to see Jared and his family.

MARCH: The month got off to a very white start, with a great snowstorm. Then it was off to Asheville again to see Jared and his family. However, I also went down because Jared and I drove down to Atlanta, and I saw my first Britney Spears concert :) That was so amazing. I also met Yonas Michael and we still talk to this day. March ended on a low note for me however, when Jared and I seemed to have ended our relationship. At the end of the month, Jared and I saw Britney in DC.

APRIL: Ok, April definitely is the month that opened the door to EVERYTHING. I don't even know where to begin... let's see, in the start of April, Jared and I worked out our issues. I made plans to move down to Asheville. Probably the most defining moment of the month was when I met Courtney for the first time. We knew eachother for like 20 seconds and then she took me to Christie White's birthday party. This is the night, the party that changed it all. I met John Cornett, Christie, Dan, Elle, Amber, and so many more people that changed my life forever, and are still a major factor in my life today. At the end of the month, Jared and I ended our relationship. And then I finally met you know who... Nic. Lol. I met him at Old Love Point Park, he was sitting on top of one of the playsets, like a Prince sitting on his throne. It was pretty epic haha. We all know what happens a few weeks later :) And finally, guess what started to cause a worldwide frenzy at the end of April 2009? Swine Flu.

MAY: I have no idea how to get thru typing this months review without crying lol. Ah! I love this month so much! I went to a gay club (Town) for the very first time in my life with April. I had a blast :D Olivia, Nic and I rescued a bird from a crazy downpour. It was just sitting in the rain dying lol. Also, I went to a Cinco de Mayo party that I ALMOST didn't go to... but I am very glad I did. Later in the month I adopted Sydney. And finally, May 17, Nic and I became official, which shouldn't have come as a surprise to anyone who knew us since we were inseperable all month basically lol. In May I also announced that I would be going to California with Nic in July. This month is also when I seemingly moved into the Thibodeau household lol :D

JUNE: Hehe, so many fun time this month! Had a graduation party for all the high school seniors , including Nic. That was SO MUCH FUN and boy do we have, er, stories from that night! Haha. Then the next night did change my life in a way... how? Cuz Will came over Nic's and got WASTED... and I had to take care of him all night into the morning. That started his and my extremely volatile friendship lol. Also in June, I turned 21! BOOOOOO! Haha, but friends did throw me a surprise birthday party. :) June also found me very alone, kinda, as I hurt my hand at work and couldn't work for weeks, and Nic went to Florida for a week and I was alll alone haha. I could not wait for him to come back so I could hug and kiss him and cuddle with him again! :D While he was gone Will and Christie and Nicole and I hung out a lot. Probably the biggest thing to happen in June was the death of Michael Jackson. That is something the world will remember for a very long time. I even wrote all over my car "R.I.P. MJ"

JULY: I went to California with Nic. I had one of the most amazing nights of my life on the Fourth of July with Nic. We were on the beach, watching the fireworks go off... and thats the first time we exchanged those magical words :) one of the best memories of my life. When I returned from San Diego, I came home to an interesting work situation. They had let go about half the employees and gave us Fridays off due to the economy. It stayed like that for the rest of the year. Went to a Kelly Clarkson concert in Delaware with Nic, Christie, Dan, April, Matt and Eric.

AUGUST: I went to Casey's party. Appeared on The Yonas Michael Show on iTunes, went to Mollys going away party and started a bond with Kristianna that will never be broken... thanks to Cooking Mama. At the end of the month Nic and I went to Philly and saw Britney Spears in concert... my third time seeing her this year. However this time I met Felicia, her BEST FRIEND! AH!

SEPTEMBER: Threw Nic a surprise party. Went to Town with Nic and Meghan and Tony M. Went to PA. Pretty straight forward month.

OCTOBER: An amazing month! Phil came down from New York. He, myself, Nic, Will and Elle all went to the March For Equality in DC. That was such an amazing event. I will remember that for the rest of my life. Later in the month, Amanda threw a Halloween party. Everyone was there. We had a blast for sure. That is also where I started to get really close to Kristianna :) Thank goodness for that! At the end of the month was probably one of the most fun periods of the year for me. Homecoming was this month. And although I didn't actually go... I participated in the before and after activities. I went to dinner with Courtney, Nicole, Will, Nic, Amber, Elle and Kristianna at Big Bats for homecoming dinner. We had a blast. Then after dinner, everyone except Elle and I went to homecoming. We went home and just chilled and layed in bed for like 5 hours just talking and bonding. Then we found out that Courtney and Will were coming back over and were spending the night. Long story short, we were up until 4:30am having fun! October continues with the fun! On the 30th, I went to the Halloween party ever! We had sooooooo much fun! I went as a baller. Lol. I was out til 4:45am. It was such a blast :) October started and ended perfectly.

NOVEMBER: Oh boy. November 2009. Well let's see... it didn't start out well or end well. The 4th is when my foot problems began. Before I knew it, I was in a boot and out of work for 3 weeks. This month I also got the new Android phone, The Motorola Droid. I LOVE THIS PHONE SO MUCH! Moving onto the middle of November... is where my year spiraled out of control. This month, Nic and I ended our relationship. I think I said perfectly how I felt about the situation in my post in November, go ahead and look again for a refresher if you want. Needless to say, I didn't post much after that. Most of November was a blur. However, something that wasn't a blur, was Thanksgiving. I spent it with the Thibodeau family. I had two breakdowns after the break up... this was one of them. I was grateful to have a Thanksgiving, especially with the family that excepted and cared for me unconditionally, but in the end, my emotions got to me. But, I had a Thanksgiving, and I am thankful :)

DECEMBER: Helped the Tibs decorate for Christmas. Then in the middle of the month I forced myself to go on a date with a guy I had no interest in. I tried forcing myself to get over Nic. BAD IDEA. It led to my second breakdown. Not gonna detail it... look at December's posts to read the details. A few days after that, I went to DC with Elizabeth. That was a friggin BLAST! :D We had so much fun! She is a nanny for her aunt who works for the government and travels a lot. It helped relieve a lot of stress. I got back and things started looking up. We had a friggin blizzard. Like literally 2 feet of snow. I got snowed in at Nic's for two days. That was fun :) We played in the snow, drank hot chocolate and watched "The Family Stone". Had a great time. I had to dig out my car tho since I was going to Asheville, NC to spend Christmas with Jared and his family. That too was an amazing time. Probably one of the best decisions I made in 2009. The end of the year, New Year's Eve (not mentioned in my blog for good reason) was filled with A LOT of drama. The worst I have ever dealt with in my life probably. I had some fun, but man, was it intense. And thats my December 2009.

Well, thats that. My 2009. Best year of my life. It was primarily a "high" year for me. However, my lowest points in my life probably occured in 2009 as well. But, since 2009 was home to so many extremely perfect moments, it still is easily the best year ever, and those moments continue to lift me up from any "lows" I may encounter today. I can honestly say May 2009- mid November 2009 were all 100% perfect moments. I was happy. The happiest I have ever been in my 21 years of life. It was sinful how perfect life was. And those months are what I carry with me everyday. I hope that soon, maybe 2010, maybe not... I can find something that will take me back to that mental state. I don't know how to get there, or if I should even try. But I do know it's real, I lived it. And I hope 2009 is just the start of my life and happiness. I can only hope that 2010 is just as good. Right now it doesn't seem possible... but if you were to ask me what I thought 2009 would look like at the start of the year, I could have NEVER expected what I lived to happen. And it was great. So 2010, here I come. I can't wait to see what you have in store for me, and for what I get to write about this time next year :) 2010, you have your work cut out for you, 2009 was simply amazing :)
