I'm a Bulldog...

So this has been about a year and a half in the making but after a lot of thought and many long chats and some soul searching in January I finally decided to complete my application to graduate school that I had chickened out from completing last year; well last week I got the big news that I had been accepted! eeps! In the fall I will be going back to school. I am excited/nervous/scared, I want to vomit and I want to jump up and down. I have so many different emotions running through me right now. Jeff asked why I wasn't acting more excited....well because I am freaking out, school is hard, time consuming and expensive. I am thrilled that I was accepted and that I rocked my interview and I love Butler. BUT having a full time job and going to school will be tricky. But this is something I want so badly - so I need to put aside my fears and kiss my nerves goodbye and kick some mega grad school behind. When I see myself in five years I see myself being a high school counselor and that makes me more excited than anything else. In order to do that and be there I need to be in graduate school.   It feels really awesome to be heading where I want to be and I am pretty excited to be a Bulldog.

A big huge thank you is also necessary to my parents and Jeffrey for supporting me and giving me the push I needed to get this done.
(and maybe a small thank you to my desk job for making me realize I can not do that for the rest of my life!) 

Movie Reviews

I have watched a hand full over movies over the past couple of weeks and wanted to share my reviews with you. 

What's Your Number - This was a classic chick flick, 100% predictable, yet super cute.  Jeff and I both enjoyed it and laughed through out.  I really liked the characters and the story line. I was surprised I liked it so much because I do not like Ana Faris that much, but she was perfect for the role and Chris Evans is super cute and I loved his character.

50/50 - I loved this one. I laughed, I cried and I laughed again.  Really cute, I don't want to say much that would give away the ending but I 100% recommend renting this one.  The tale of two friends is loving, honest and fun.

Drive - I did not know what to expect from this one.  When we were at Red Box I did not want to get it but Jeff said he heard it was good.  So I obliged thinking I would just take a nap during it....but I was incredibly surprised.  Right off the bat I was intrigued with the music and the scenes, but I still had no idea where this movie was going. Once it got going and I knew the plot I really liked it a lot.  It was really bloody and made my stomach flip a few times; but overall I was quite pleased with the movie and would recommend it. Ladies watch this with your guy and then make him watch one of the two below with you!

The Vow - Okay........ this was cute and sweet.  Obviously I love that it is based off a true love story and it has a happy ending.  But it was not nearly as lovey-dovey as I was hoping for.  It is not the new Notebook but it was cute and I am glad that I went to see it. I just almost wanted to cry a little bit, but I didn't. Jeff didn't mind it either, he thought it was long, but he did not hate sitting through it.

One Day - Now this is movie to see if you want to cry sob uncontrollably. I loved it, for sure one of the greatest movies I have ever seen.  I loved Anne Hatheway and Jim Sturgess they played their parts so well.  I loved the story line and the epic love story.  I loved every second of it even though it broke my heart into a million pieces, I getting weepy just thinking of it....yes I was that attached to the characters.   Please please please rent this movie - I think I might even buy it. Jeff did not watch it, he was at work, so I can't say what a guy would think, but ladies I promise you will love this.

Have you seen any good/bad movies lately?

Feb Photos pt. 1

So far I have been participating in the Feb. Photo challenge - if you follow me on instagram you have seen most of these....but I want to blog them with more detail.
Here is the reminder again of what I am taking pictures of....

Feb 1:  Your view today.  I was driving to the gym at about 6:30 and thought the sky looked so pretty. The gorgeous weather here lately has been unbelievable and on Wednesday it lead to a beautiful sunset!

Feb 2: Words.  Jeff has been writing me love notes for a long time, and I recently went through all the old ones and I plan on scrap booking them.

Feb 3: Hands.  Okay, I know I am a giant sap, but here are our hands.  Jeff and I always hold hands across the table while we are waiting for our food or just chatting.  I really love that.

Feb 4: Strangers.  We went to the Pacers game last night and saw a whole bunch of strangers.  But these two were the coolest - Floyd Money Mayweather and 50cent....50 is in the blue hat and Money is to his left.

Feb 5: 10am.  This one isn't exactly 10am.  But close enough.  An egg sandwich and super bowl pre-game coverage on the TV

Happy Sunday, Happy Super Bowl (go giants!) and Happy Feb Photos!
