August???

Well I completely missed the month of July...I don't even know where it went! In the first few days of July my niece and nephew came down to Maryland to stay with us for two weeks.  I had such a great time with them.  Julia is 3 years old now and Dylan is 8! They are growing up so fast and I miss them so much.  My mom and I took the kids to watch the fireworks for the fourth of July and they really enjoyed them.  Most of the days were spent in the pool and playing and then the sunday before we had to take them home we went to the DC zoo.  It was super hot that day so there were some complaints but overall it was a good day.

First night with the kids

The day before we took the kids back we attended my cousin Ashleys wedding reception.  It was very nice and she looked gorgeous!

Heres Kassidy, Ashley and I
When it was time to take the kids home, Shane, Kassidy and I drove them back up to NY.  It was a long and boring drive and we were sad to take them back =[.  However we were able to spend some time with my brothers and gram-which was nice....And two days later we were back at home.

Car ride

Other then that I haven't really done anything in July except work and hang out with friends.  Oh! and classes ended in July!! YaY! I got A's in both my classes, so I was pretty happy about that. Anyway, I LOVE my job!  I love icing and decorating cupcakes. It's a lot of fun and I love making people happy. =] 

This is the dispaly where I work. I decorated all these cupcakes =]

Heres one upclose...its a keylime cupcake..mmm!

Well that's about it for July and I will try to be on here more often.

21st Birthday

Wow! I can not beleive I am 21 years old! I feel like this is the last birthday I will have ever looked forward to. When your young you can't wait to be 13 just so you can say your a teenager. Then in a few years 16 comes around and you get to drive! Once you have driving mastered though you can't wait to be 18 because now your an "Adult".  Then theres the big 21 (well for those who want to drink...lol).  But after 21, whats next? 30? Who wants to say, "Hey! Im 30 today". I don't think I'm going to because that would just mean Im getting old right?  I'm not saying I'm not looking forward to birthdays in general because I hope to have a long and fulfilling life, but I feel like after 21 Im just getting old now...theres nothing to look forward to...until Im 65 and get senior citizen discounts! hehe.

Anyway my 21st was a lot of fun!  I went out to a restaraunt/bar with some amazing friends and was the only one drinking...haha. Needless to say, I didn't get out of bed until 3:30 PM the next day!

28 Days without Shane

It's funny how you get so used to being with someone that when you have to be apart you almost feel lost.  Shane left for LTC training yesterday and will be gone for 28 days! Well 27 now =].  I'm already bored without him here and this big bed is soo empty.  However, I started my new job today and I am very excited about it! I get to decorate cupcakes and make people happy all day =]. My birthday is next week, and I am sad that Shane will miss it since it's my 21st but I'm going to make the best of it with my few amazing friends! Well that's pretty much all I have to say for now.  I'll be sure to blog next week with pictures of whatever is going on in my life.

YaY! Finally the last day for my picture project is here! I have enjoyed sharing my pictures and facts about myself, however it became quite the pain in the butt. Im glad I stuck with it though.
