"Reunited and it feels so good"

Hopefully most of you know the Peaches and Herb song

"Reunited".

Well that song is how I feel right now.

This weekend my friend from high school is

moving back from college and

my best friend is moving back from Nashville!

I'm soo happy!

My friend Jan is such a free spirit and has an amazing family.

After high school she went to college in Illinois

to play volleyball.

Now she has found a job in OKC and is back!

Here is a pic of Jan with us.

Yes, it is 5 years ago on our Senior Trip in Mexico.

And yes, I know our fashion choices were questionable.

(Quincee Taylor, Me, Alli, Jan, and my baby sis Jordan)

Now what I'm SUPER excited for is my best friend

Rachel is moving home!

She is moving home to focus on her music.

She is such a great talent, friend, and person!

Here is us girls hanging out like to good o'l days!

(Me, Rachel, Quincee Taylor, and Alli)

It is going to be so nice to have us all back together

before we all get married and become "grown ups".

This is going to be such a great weekend, I can't wait!

and to top is off my BEST prom date and good friend

Emmanuel 'Eman' Wilson

is finally 21!

(yes, this makes me feel soo old)

(Eman and I)

So I just want to wish him a Happy birthday!!

Love you!

Well I know I'm going to have a blast this weekend,

so I hope ya'll have the same!

If only I had you a year ago....

So about two weeks ago I bought the new Taylor Swift album

"Speak Now".

It's AMAZING! I love love love it!

Its all about all the men that have been in her life and

I wish this album would have came out last year.

I feel like it speaks just to me.

It mirrors everything that I have been through the past 2 years.

A Bitter Sweet Weekend

As most of you know I LOVE the weekends.

This weekend happened to be the last OU home game and not just any home game.

It was my little sister Jordan and best friend Marcus's last home game.

We had a BLAST!

We tailgated with the fam and hang out with some friends of Marcus after the game.

 Here are some pics taken at the game:

My little sister and I

(I can't believe she is going to be in Law School next year!)

Marcus and I

(I'm sooo proud of him, but sure going to miss him!)

You can see we had a great gameday and OU won!

But it was bitter sweet because this was their last home game as students!

I know they will come back when they can but it wont be the same.

I could not be happier or more proud of them!

They both are moving on and going to go great things and

I'm just lucky to have them in my life!

We still have plenty of weekends together, and

don't worry we'll make good use of them!



Thanks isn't enough

Today is November 11th which means it is Veteran's Day.

I would like to thank everyone who has served for our country.

You have no idea the joy, safety, and honor you have

brought to our country.

 Here is a poem I read that is perfect for today:



They Did Their Share

On Veteran’s Day we honor
Soldiers who protect our nation.
For their service as our warriors,
They deserve our admiration.

Some of them were drafted;
Some were volunteers;
For some it was just yesterday;
For some it’s been many years;

In the jungle or the desert,
On land or on the sea,
They did whatever was assigned
To produce a victory.

Some came back; some didn’t.
They defended us everywhere.
Some saw combat; some rode a desk;
All of them did their share.

No matter what the duty,
For low pay and little glory,
These soldiers gave up normal lives,
For duties mundane and gory.

Let every veteran be honored;
Don’t let politics get in the way.
Without them, freedom would have died;
What they did, we can’t repay.

We owe so much to them,
Who kept us safe from terror,
So when we see a uniform,
Let’s say "thank you" to every wearer.

By Joanna Fuchs I would also like to thank one of my best friends who is over sea's as I type.Kwam you are amazing and I'm so thankful to have you in my life!

(Kwam always talking lol)

(Marcus, Kwam, and I at the bowling alley)

Another person who I would like to thank is no longer with us.

My Grandfather, Franklin Fitzgerald.

I'm very proud to be a granddaughter of a WWII veteran.

Once again, Thank you to all the veterans and active military!

 

Finding Myself and Maybe a Little Love too...

Well for the people who already know me or are just reading this

blog, you guys know that I am a college student,

store manager and 23.

What some of you might not know is that for the past

11 months I have been single.

And when I say single I mean it.

I haven't dated anyone or even gone on a real date.

For some of you this might sound crazy or even sad.

But for me it has been great.

For the first time in my life I truly know how I am as a person.

It has taken countless mistakes, great friends,

and bad relationships to get me here,

but I wouldn't change it for the world.

Now I can see the end of the road for school, have a job I like to be at, and

have my best friends all back in Oklahoma.

I finally can start to look for the one thing that is missing in my life

which is: love

I'm not saying "I wanted to be married by 25" or anything,

I just want to find someone to be with, my best friend

and just someone to love.

Now that I know who I truly am and what I want out of life

I don't wait to waste my time on someone.

So now I am on a search.

Who knows how long or when it will happen.

It doesn't matter, what matters is that who ever this person is that

they will make me happy,

and hopefully I'll make them happy as well.

I know there are tons of women doing this same thing and

I hope they find what they are looking for.

So here is a quote I stumbled upon that has helped me:

"When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain."

-Mark Twain

New-er Hair

Yes, I know I'm always changing my hair but I'm in

LOVE with it now!

I think i'm sticking with the bangs and red hair

but it need to grow about 4 more inches

and I'll be happy!

So here it is:



I'm so sorry!

Well to say my life is crazy is an understatement! I have had so much with school and work that my blog just fell behind so I'm going to have to sum it up for you!

Well I have had a lot of birthday's in the past month and once of them was my baby sister Jordan!

She is now 22!

We had a blast together, love you sister!

I have had a couple of friends birthday's also:

We all went out after the OU game for Sabrina's birthday is was fun until our waitress kept rolling her eyes and went missing for an hour and half....

I also went on a trip to San Antonio for my DZ sister's bday, it was so much fun!

We got to see Chelsea Handler and Scott Wolfe, which was great.

The not so great part was going to Pat O'brien's and meeting the

Hurricane's. Bad idea!

(my big Shanna, Tamra, and I)

The last birthday I went to was last night.

I had a blast! It was my little and g-little's bday.

How cute is it that they have the same birthday?

Anyways we went to Edna's which is a great dive bar in OKC.

If you haven't been there you are missing out!

I had so much fun and got to see a lot of my DZ sisters but I only got a

pic with my g little so here it is:

She is too cute!

Another AMAZING thing in my life right now

is that my BEST friend Rachel is moving back

I can't wait to have her back in Norman!

And what also is amazing about it that for the first time

in four years Rachel, Quincee, Alli and I are all back together again!

They are the BEST friends and girl could ask for!

Well for now on I will be better about posting. My life has been a little crazy right now

but thing will change!

Love Ya'll!
