The Lost Birthdays!

My roomate Cassy and I decided we should have a 'party' at our house last weekend..

Since neither of us had birthday parties, we decided we needed a make up celebration and call it:

THE LOST BIRTHDAYS!

So last night, we invited a few of our good friends over and had an awesome time!

I am so lucky to have such great friends :)

Cassandra & our new friend Mufasa.

Catherine, Karim & I

ROOMIES!

Rico & Tony

For movie night, Ed and I saw The Ides of March. It was a good movie I thought; Not one I'd see again, but I liked it.

Eventful, As Always

So I realized I missed a few events..The first, was Mack's birthday lunch :)

Next, was one of the last beach days we will probably be having this year..

Finally, our friend Erica invited us to celebrate her 22nd birthday at Dave&Busters!

Forensicators

This weekend was (for lack of a better adjective) crazy.

Team lunch at some burger joint in Tallahassee.

I drove with my team to my very first forensics tournament in Alabama.

The 8 hours in the van went by fast, 

and the campus was beautiful!! The weather was perfect and Alabama is a really awesome school. The sorority and fraternity houses are huge!

I arrived confident; with 3 prepared events (Prose, Impromptu Speaking and Duo)

Little did I know... 

This National Competition known as the Alabama Crimson Classic;

has adopted the nickname "The Alabama Blood Bath."

Which, by the way, was exactly that.

Competitors were fierce, it was really intimidating!

With the FSU team 

I managed to have tons of fun, and make a lot of new friends!!

I have really smart and talented teammates who made for great company this weekend.

The Team (half of us anyways..)

But I did not travel all that way to lose!!

In my very first competition, I "broke" into semi-finals in my Prose.
And took 3rd place in Impromptu Speaking semi-finals!!

Thats me, 2nd Place!!

 It was an incredible experience and I was relieved I didn't come home empty handed.

My next competition is only 3 weeks away!

 It feels good to be home, the weekend was exhausting. 

Eddie took me out to the Cheesecake Factory tonight, 

and now were in the library studying and catching up on homework!

Real Steel= Real Deal

[The title of this post was Edwards reaction to our movie. I laughed histerically when he said this.]

SO.. For Sunday movie night we watched Real Steel.

We both LOVED it, it was a great movie!!

Eddie and I like celebrating.

We love any excuse to go out..

Today is the One year and One month Anniversary [of the day we met]

...but since we would both be so busy today, Ed took me to PF Chang's last friday night.

I've had a busy week preparing for my first Forensics competition this weekend!

I leave for the Alabama Crimson Classic on friday.

I'll be competing in 3 events, and I am really excited to see what happens :]

Wish me luck!

Flat.

You know those days where you wake up with a flat tire and you just know it might all be downhill from there? Well I thought I was having one of those days... Lucky for me, I have a hero on speed dial who came and happily taught me to change a tire. (and by taught me I mean changed it for me)

Then, I saw this rainbow. 

I realized I am so blessed, and my day was better.

I love conference weekend, I learn so much and get to spend extra time with my amazing family.

After a delicious (and giant) dinner, we went to the beach and took pictures in the gorgeous sunset.

Ed and I hadn't made dinner at home in a long time, so we made hot dogs and fries :]

Maybe not the most nutritious meal we've ever had, but it sure tasted good!

A lot of Ed's friends have been turning 21, so we've been going out A LOT!

I babysat on Saturday night and we watched this. It was a cute movie; more interesting because it is a true story! 

Of course for weekly movie date Ed and I saw MoneyBall this week, and to be honest (sure I had some good laughs) the movie wasn't that great, and the ending sucked. Can't complain about Brad Pitt though! haha Did you see him on Ellen a few weeks ago??

Yesterday was my big brother Leo's 24th Birthday :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEO! I love and miss you.

Im so excited that it is finally getting colder!! I love Summer but I am ready to bust out some cute sweaters :)
