1. Well I made it two days with FB, without it I have no idea what most of my friends, and even my parents are up to. It’s a neccessary evil I suppose.
2. I like the rain, it reminds of Christmas.
3. I went to my mom’s house a couple weeks ago to go through some old boxes of my stuff and I found this:
I know you are thinking what is so special about an old rag? Well how dare you! This old rag has been around since I came home from the hospital. I carried my “blankie” everywhere with me when I was little, like everywhere. To the beach, to the park, even when I first went to college I kept it under my pillow. Somewhere along the road I decided it was time to put blankie away but when I found I couldn’t help but be a little excited. It now is back where it belongs, on my bed under my pillow and I may or may not have snuggled with it last night. It’s crazy how a piece of fabric brings back so many memories.
4. My mom is passing through the OC tomorrow and we are gonna have lunch. My family rarely ever comes into my world so I’m excited.
5. I go to the Dominican Republic in about a month for a very special wedding for this girl: 
I can’t wait to get out of this country and have an adventure. I am sooo looking forward to playing on the beach and having now worries for an entire week! yipppeeeee!
6. I believe I have officially decided to apply for grad school and hopefully start next fall. I am excited, nervous, and unsure but ready to take a next step and looking forward to sitting in class and studying and all that stuff. Is it nerdy that I miss all that? Now if someone would give me 20 grand to pay for it that would be fantastic.
7. I got a new cover for my phone. I got one that is totally covered in rhinestones. I don’t know why I did such a thing. I feel like the only girls with rhinestone cell phones are girls that wear heels to the grocery store and leave their hair down when they workout at the gym.
8. My two best friends from highschool are both pregnant, they are three weeks apart and it is just the cutest thing ever. We are going to have lunch on Saturday and I am so so excited to see them both. We don’t get to see eachother much but when we do it is just like old times. I grew up with these ladies and they are so special to me.
10. I have some pretty great friends, I am so thankful for them. They make me laugh, they stand up for me, they love me unconditionally, they make my life fun and I’m grateful for that.
Til next time….. Ciao!

That picture also makes me LOL. I’m proud of your Facebook deactivation. I got out of the habit of browsing and now when I go on I get overwhelmed and can’t stay long. Love yoooou!
