Ok, Here we go.
I am so bored.
And it's Halloween, this should be illegal.
I'm in one of those moods where I feel crappy and alone. And the only person I want to see is hours away at home. 
I usually don't get bothered by being alone, but now that I'm here at school and my friends are so far away, it bothers me. I'm home every night doing nothing. I have friends here, but I don't know how to explain it. I just don't see them outside of classes. And a few people that talk to me seem fake, like, they talk to me like they are a salesperson. Laugh too much at things I say. There's a difference between being a friend, and just being friendly.
So yes, I had a baby meltdown today in the privacy of my own room. I know I shouldn't be dwelling on this, but it is something that bothers me a lot. I didn't know I would be so alone when I moved away to school. I am thankful I chose a college that I can come home on the weekends if I want. I am however, making myself stay here this weekend.

Anyway, today is Halloween. And as previously stated, I am doing nothing. No candy passing out (since I live on a school campus, lack of children), no dressing up, no parties. And I  didn't get to carve a pumpkin, watch a scary movie, or go to a haunted house this whole season, which makes me extremely sad. I think I may watch Walking Dead tomorrow.







Here comes the part where I get to rant:
So, today I had an argument with Tyler. See, we've been dating for like 3 years right? Well, he wants to put a ring on it. One that means something. Ahem, he wants to get engaged. Now, I'm not what I would call ready for that. I certainly don't want to be married until I'm at least 21. I do however believe this is the kid I will end up with. Long story short I told him that when he thinks he needs to propose, I would agree to an engagement under 3 guidelines. 1. has to get a ring, duh. 2. Has to find a sweet way to propose. And 3, has to ask my father's permission. Both of us want to wait until we are both 21 to actually get hitched, so it'll just be a long engagement. Anyway, The first two rules he has no problem with, easy peasy. But he is scared shitless to ask my dad. It's not that he is scared of my dad, but he is scared of what would happen if he said no. Like, the relationship between him and my dad would be weird. I even told him, I want him to ask my dad, but regardless, I am probably gonna do what I want in the long run. As my dad says "You've gotta make decisions for your self and your mom and I know that. It doesn't mean we have to like them".
So, yes, I would love for my dad to say yes, of course. I just know Tyler doesn't want to disappoint them either, and just wants him to say yes so we won't have to worry about it..
But I have decided to leave it up to God, and his will be done. I am in no rush to get engaged, but I am not exactly opposed to it either. I just want my end of the "deal" to be held up, ya know? It shouldn't really be something a man should be told to do, which bothers me a bit.

But anyway, I figure I need to post this since it is no longer Halloween. Which means it is No Shave November, yay Beards!

I'll post a post with photos soon, this shall suffice for now..

Love always <3

Last Night Ty and I decided we were hungry. So, while we were at Walmart he decided to pick up some baby smoky links and see what he could come up with when we got home. Well, he found cheese and some biscuits in the fridge and made a sort of pig-in-a-blanket casserole. And I made Rolo stuffed sugar cookies for dessert.
They both turned out..interesting.

This is the recipe I got the cookie idea from:

His biscuits look like marshmallows for sure.

 
And This is how they turned out. Looked like boobs half way through baking. But they were freakin delicious  in the end! 

Five got eaten before bed last night, woke up the next morning and there were none left. Ty's creation turned out ok, except the biscuits didn't wanna cook through, so we had to almost burn the top to make the middle edible, should have just put all the biscuits on top.

And this is what I looked like yesterday.

 
Then today my dad called me up and asked if I wanted to go on a motor run with him. He owns an electric motor shop in town and had to make a trip to drop off and pick up orders in a few towns this morning. I stayed at Ty's last night, so I got up early and went home because he had to go to class at 8:30. So I was in a delivery truck with my dad and my dog at 9am today. I am still tired and it's 3pm. But the last 3 days I have been up before I am used to. Up at 6am, then 8am, and then 7:30 today. Blah. 

Also, my dog is silly.

I am supposed to be going to see my girls and my babies some time today, and then seeing my honey one last time tonight before I head back to school for a few weeks. Next time I am home I get to go with his family to get family pictures. And I am friggin pumped. I have a feeling they won't be wonderful, but I am stoked to have a professionalish photo of Ty and I finally!! And possibly get to have Nitro in it as well :D

Instagram!!
Yesterday's #fmsphotochallenge theme was angle, so I took a pic of some of the DVD's at Ty's family's rental shop.

Today is "Red" But I don't know what I am going to do for it yet..:/ 






Then lately I have been looking at Halloween costumes. Of course I have. And I have stumbled upon a few sweet ones. It makes me sad that I have no reason to dress up this year, but I can't help but to look for some!! 

Up! Ah! Love!!

Yay Preggo costumes!

I really love that he is wearing normal clothes from the logo down!

In case you can't tell, she is half Pam and half Roy from the Office. This one makes me happy, but it's slightly creepy.

Later World :D

Yup, that about sums up my day.
I stayed at Ty's last night and this mornin we woke up at 6am and went to a city to do some shopping with his family. His family owns the DVD rental/consignment/tanning salon in my tiny hometown and they are remodeling the front of the shop. So we spent 2 hours in Menards. No bueno. Ty and I walked around while his dad shopped and looked at neat stuff that we would like to have in our house one day, so that lasted a half hour, then we were super bored.
We ended up finally going out to eat at Ryan's (buffet), and it was awesome. I was a bit pissy this morning because Summer doesn't run well on low sleep and low sugar. I just don't operate without breakfast. I get migraines and get hot, not to mention I get sassy easily. I'm not typically a fun lady in the mornings.

Anywho. I got to go to a Hallmark store today too. And I have a sweet spot for Precious Moments figurines. Not that I have any, cuz they're freakin expensive, but they're adorable. And I'm not a fan of nick nacks, so that's saying something. But today I saw a huge Disney/Pixar collection and it wassoo cute! Everything from all the Princesses, to Mary Poppins and Alice in Wonderland. My favorites were these two (I deleted the photos that I took off my phone, so I used Google)

How Sweet are those?!?! My favorite Disney Character is Rex, so I was in love. The Toy Story one's title was "Our Love Will Never Go Extinct". Which made it even more sweet! :) 
And then Lion King rocks, so yeah.

When we got home we gave Nitro a haircut. Well, we attempted to give him a haircut. He is an American Eskimo so he has super thick and coarse hair white. The clippers made for dogs couldn't even cut it. Kept clogging the blade and stopping. So I chopped some up with scissors to try to get it short enough for the blade to work again. But it was still too thick, so now he looks ridiculous. 
But hey, he's still cute when you look at his face!He was a happy boy after he got out of the bath though, got a fancy new camo collar and a new name tag from his parents:)

Every time Ty turned on the clippers he would wig out, but when I had my scissors on him he sat there like a pretty boy and took it like a man. :) So, we had to hold him down when we clipped.

Then Ty and I went on a Rhino ride and went out to the bonfire in the woods with his family before I went home for the night.

THEN. I learned about the fantastic show that is, Duck Dynasty. How have I not known of this magic?? It's about a family of super rich rednecks. Rich because they are the family behind Duck Commander duck hunting calls. These guys are redneck to the core. I mean muck boots all day, long beards, hunting fanatics. It's also freakin hilarious! I encourage you (strongly in fact) to at least youtube some clips. It's fantastic. My favorite from tonight is from the episode where Willie's daughter is dating and before she leaves for a dance Willie gives her date a duck call. Then he goes: "If his lips are gonna be on something I made I'd rather it be a duck call."
It's more funny if you watch it. I watched 4 or 5 episodes tonight and I'm hooked!  

Instagram!




Day 7 of the October Photo Challenge that I have been doing is Light.
So I took a picture of my eye, showing the reflection of the light in it.
I really couldn't come up with anything clever, so boom.

Tomorrow is Angle.




 
So now I am writing this last tid bit and heading off to bed.
Here's some things to entertain your brains.

You think you've soaked in all of the awkwardness...and then you realize she has a goat on her lap.

Goodnight World, have a good one!! 
Be Kind to One Another<3

I was thinking that I would start including any music I listen to while writing my blogs, so tada: 
Free - Twin Atlantic
Follow Through - Gavin DeGraw
My Kinda Party - Jason Aldean
Hard To Love - Lee Brice
Under and Over It - FFDP
Wonderwall - Cartel (Punk Goes 90s)
Someday - Rob Thomas
Alive - Pearl Jam
You Found Me - The Fray

I'm starting to think I'll be using this as a journal/place to collect my thoughts?

First off, I saw I am getting views from Germany, so if you're reading this, Welcome!! You should leave a comment or something, I'd love to know what brought you here, to my blog. And ya know, tell me how you feel about it or whatnot?? That'd be grand!

Anyway, as I said, today is Freakin Friday! Which means today must've been splendid, right? Well, it wasn't awful. Found out I fail at physics. So awful at it, it's unfair really..
Then I took the wonderful 2 hour trip home and let my Memaw's dogs go potty and play in the rain. Speaking of my Memaw, they did an Upper GI test on her today with Barium and such, she will hopefully come home by Monday, so yay good news!!:)
Oh yeah, it rained today. Like a lot. We went from having literally ZERO rain from May to July, then got all of what we missed today. It's still raining right now.

The 5pm rolled around and Ty got off work and took me out to dinner, yay Subway!
And tonight was our high school's Senior Night, as well as the Shrine Game and the Homecoming Game, all rolled into one Football game! So, we went to the last half of that game that lasted wayyyy longer than it should have because of a lightning delay. It's 3 hours later and my legs are still cold.

Alas, I had a fun night, I'm always thankful for time that I get to spend with Ty, he really is the greatest. And I am corny. Moving on..

I know I said that I would try to complete the October Photo Challenge on here. Well obviously that is going well. So, I'll put the list up that I'm supposed to abide by, and go from there:

Ok, so this is the list that I need to follow. I have deleted some of the pics from my phone already, but I still have a few.

Day 1&2 is a pic that I don't have. Day 1 was "Where I Stood". I have the Carle Clinic logo, since I was there from 10am-9pm that night with my family waiting for news on my Memaw.
Day 2 was my "Lunch", which was iced coffee and a pumpkin Little Debbie snack thing, I was on my way back to school and it's all that was car friendly at my parent's house.

Day 3: This Happened Today. This is a pic of Prinetime, which is a Christian youth group sort of thing that I go to on Wednesdays on campus, it's neat.

Day 4: What I Read. This is the list of food that was at FallFest. I got to go twice, it was very good!! There was a better pic on my Instagram, but, I deleted it from my phone.

Day 5: Shadows. This is my car, and it's shadow. It's parked in my dad's motor shop waiting to be looked at by the mechanic across the street. My door handle is broken, but hopefully getting fixed Tuesday! Woo!

Day 6: I'm Thankful For..This is my main squeeze Tyler. He really is the bee's knees. Oh man, I'm sure you'll hear more about him. I'm so proud of everything he has done, and I love him to the moon and back. Like at least 100 times.

 So yeah, now I'm caught up, woo! Tomorrow is "Light", not sure what I'll capture yet..
Anyhow, I need to be taking a Humanities test instead of blogging, so goodnight world!

P.s. The Cardinal's won against the Braves tonight. Booyah!!!

That's about what I did today. I don't do a lot with my life. This week has been a bit of a mix though, so let's play catch up shall we?

Last weekend I came home from school to celebrate Tyler's brother's birthday on Saturday. It was a good weekend, got to spend some time with my family and Ty's family as well. However, Ty and I'd dog Fergie passed away on Friday from complications during childbirth, so we lost her and all 13 puppies that she had. This is her all pregnant:

So that happened, and it was hard. Ty rescued her in July from a home that kept her in a cage with no exercise. She was also pretty emaciated. She was one of our babies and it was hard to deal with. Our other baby is named Nitro. He's the white fluffy poof ball in my side bar pictures. He is almost 2 years old and is a Mini American Eskimo. He was the cutest puppy, he fit in Ty's hand when we first got him! Here's a pic..

Baby Nitro!!

You can see more pics of him and other awesome people/animals in my "My Loves" page, the tab is up top:) I talk way too much about all of our babies, so I'm just gonna keep all their pictures in one place:)

So anyway, the weekend past and Ty and I woke up on Monday morning. I was getting dressed to come back to Evansville. My mom calls me and tells me that my Memaw (her mom) was being air lifted to Carle Clinic in Urbana Illinois because she couldn't breathe. Great. So then I had to miss classes (review day in physics to be exact). I went up there and spent the day in the hospital, it sucked seeing her in that state. I've never known my memaw to be a weak person. I mean, people get put in the hospital all the time, but not my memaw, she's stronger than that. She's doing a lot better now though. The bottom of both lungs are collapsed and she has 3 blockages in her heart and one of them is a 99% block. Which is what caused her to have a minor heart attack Friday morning. She now has 3 stents in her heart. She will hopefully get to come home this weekend.

But since then, I have taken 2 tests and been to Fall Fest twice! Oh man, Fall Fest is pretty neat. Allow me to explain. It is the nation's 2nd largest street fair (right after Mardi Gras!) and there is so much stinkin food! 

This is what the street looks like, and this is just one half of the food side, AND you can't even see it all here!

Such a broad spectrum of goodies as well! Everything from catfish and dumplings, to ostrich jerky and apple cider. They also have a boat load of fried stuff, like girl scout cookies (delicious), twinkies, snickers (amazing), cookie dough, and even smores! Tuesday I had chicken and dumplings, fried pickles, choc. covered bacon, and deep fried G.S. cookies (samoas). Then today I had apple cider slushie, a stromboli, and the deep fried smore(to the left), it was very phenomenal.

There's also rides and games there, like a carnival, but I just came for the food, lets be honest.

Speaking of this weekend!! It's fall break time baby! Which means tomorrow, after I get out of physics at 1:00, I get to go the heck home..until Wednesday!! Words do not express how pumped I am because of this. I get to go to homecoming football game at my old high school with my boyfriend tomorrow night, I get my car door handle fixed, and hopefully get to see Baby E and Iris (my friends' children). Other than that, I'll probably spend break going to see my Memaw again for sure and then just cuddling with Ty and playing with my puppies:)
