Hey y'all!

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to update. I started my internship so I've been working 12 hour days. So far its been pretty good. Definitely a great learning experience.

I had techinical difficulties with the video, so sadly I had to scrap it :( For now I'll be updating with pictures when new things happen.

So here are some pics from New Years. I hope y'all had a great one!

Mike and I spending time with my family before the party.

Girls again!

Hey y'all. Happy very very belated Thanksgiving.....

Ok, I know I've been gone for a long time, and I haven't been making videos. I don't have any other excuses for y'all except that I am just busy. I've said that over and over again, and it is the truth. You probably are thinking, a person can't be THAT busy. Well I am. I know that sounds bitchy, but I'm so tired of people saying things to me. When I started this blog, I was still doing my basics so the class work was not hard or time-consuming. However, now that I am concentrating on my major, the work and study time has tripled, if not more. So this is my life. I work Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays 9am to 5pm. I literally am driving for work every morning and evening for AT LEAST an hour both ways (usually more) because of traffic. After work, I go to the gym and study. So there is pretty much no time for me to edit a video. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my school days. I am pretty much at school for 12 hours on those days. And since all I'm doing is studying, I don't care to put on lots of makeup or throw something on more than sweats. Hell I'm not trying to attract anyone! And the weekends are either filled with studying or volunteering with BAP. And of course partying and going out with friends. I wish I had the time to edit my videos, but what time I do spend at home, I'm usually sleeping or getting ready to go out.

So I'm sorry that life has been crazy and that I am trying to catch up with the life I couldn't lead last year. Last year I was with my ex. We didn't go out to parties that were fun. I mean, if y'all read my blog back in the day, you understand what I mean. Mainly they were his friends who did not speak English. Not fun.

But now I'm living a really fun and fulfilling life. And I'm sorry that I've been gone and that this post probably sounds bitchy, but I am frustrated. Yes I wish I could finish that list of to-do tutorials. And I am hoping I can now that I am on Christmas Break. But I'm not making any promises.

I would update about my life, but there are some things in life that just should stay private. And there are people who read my blog who for some reason thought it would be JUST makeup. But if y'all are interested I will post more about what I'm doing and life in general.. just let me know.

I know I've apologized, but again, I'm really sorry if this comes off mean and bitchy. I really do not mean to be that way.

But in better news, y'all know I have been single for a year now. Its been a great year, learned a lot of new lessons. Learned what its like to fall for douche bags. I may extrapolate on that in a later time. BUT.... I've met someone who has changed my mind about men. He is amazing. Its weird because I've been on a no-boys roll for months. Meaning I didn't want a boyfriend, I didn't want random booty, and I didn't feel like dating. I liked going out with my girls, not having to tell anyone what I was doing or who I was with, and I liked that I didn't have to change my schedule for anyone. Like I said, I went to the gym pretty much everyday and didn't let anyone ruin my schedule for me. So when I met Mike, I wasn't even looking. He's 25, brown hair, super pretty blue eyes, and super cute dimples. He looks younger than he is, but he's extremely independent and responsible... both points in his favor. And he knows how to treat a girl right.

We had met in February, but I never paid much attention to him. Our mutual friend Amanda introduced us, but at the time, we both were at points in our lives where we were more interested in other things than serious relationships. I was in my going out to bars and partying stage. He was in his friends are his life stage. So we didn't really get to know each other. We probably said hi once, and that was it. I would see him at her parties every now and again, but I would always leave early to go to Uptown Dallas or something.

Anyways, I think since my birthday in July (after a really bad night due to a certain douche bag boy who no longer is in my life) I decided that all I wanted to do was focus on school, working out, friends, family, and my future career. Boys were not allowed in my life, and this was a decision I had made. Its funny how when you swear of boys, they flock to you like a bee to honey. So weird. I had lots of guy friends, but I made it clear to each of them that I didn't want a relationship and I didn't want a booty-call. Its nice to have guy friends who know your intentions straight up. I was having a great time. Single life is actually really fun. But you always feel like something (or someone) is missing. I was even to the point where I didn't want to get married EVER, and I had already planned it in my mind that I would adopt if I weren't married by 30. That's how low boys in general were to me. They didn't mean a thing to me.

Then in November I went to Amanda's party again. And Mike was there. It was the strangest thing because I wasn't even looking or wanting to be close to a guy. But I guess it was just the right timing because it was like we were meant to be together. Its hard to explain. From the moment we started talking that night, it was like I had already known him. I was so comfortable with him and things just felt RIGHT. I mean, I've met guy friends who I am comfortable with, but not in the same sense. Like I wanted to be with him and I hadn't felt that way in forever. I didn't even feel the same way about the ex. I'm glad we started talking when we did and not in the past because I was still learning about myself.

In any case, Mike makes me crazy happy. And I feel like I'm whole. I can't explain it. It just feels really good :)

I'm sorry for going on a sappy roll! So enough of that, here are some pics to fill y'all in on what I've been up to....

My Birthday Night in Uptown Dallas back in July... way late I know lol
