Fill In The Blank Friday {2}

It is that time again for Lauren's Fill in the Blank Friday! Feel free to take part in the fun but make sure to head over to her site and link up!

1. One thing I MUST do before I die is Travel. Generic answer right? But it is my passionate. Seeing new places and doing new things, experiencing things I've never done before. It is a MUST. Oh & it MUST be with Vito. Because I love him.

2. I would rather sleep in than go to school any day.

3. If I could give my younger self one piece of advice it would be that those guys I wasted my time on and made countless excuses for are not worth it and there is someone who will treat me like I deserve to be treated.

4. If I won the lottery tomorrow I'd pay off debts, move myself & my family to SoCal, and start planning a dream wedding!

5. The best surprise ever was the first Valentine's day Vito & I spent together (which only took place 3 years into our relationship), I went to night class in a dress & was expecting to come home for us to go out to dinner but instead he made me dinner. Best part was that the dinner was served on plates and bowls that I had been coveting from Target forever.

6. My biggest fault is Hmm, just one? I'd say my lack of patience. I don't have it, I never have. The only time I exhibit patience is with my niece. She's the only one.

7. My biggest strength is Geez, why is it so easy to think of a million faults but so hard to come up with 1 strength? I'd say being the person everyone leans on. That is one of the reason I wanted to become a counselor because I always seem to be the person everyone comes to talk about the problems to. I love being there for those I love so it works out pretty perfectly. I have a big heart. 8)

Happy Friday Lovelies!

Vito's Day Of Birth"

Today I celebrate the birth of the man who holds my heart.


I celebrate the man whom I start every morning with and end every night with.


I celebrate the man who makes my life more fun.


I celebrate the man who never fails to put a smile on my face


Today I celebrate the birth of the smartest, most caring, most compassionate man I've ever met in my life for which I thank God for every day.

Happy 22nd Birthday, Vito Michael!
Today I celebrate you!

Please Pray

If you have not yet heard the heart-wrenching story about the beautiful and brave Layla Grace, you are missing out.

Follow the tweets.

Pray for her and her family.

"Play Me A Song, Your Newest One"

Since the last post was picture central & I'm in the midst of catching up on my blog reading, I thought I'd do a quick little post. Please listen to this song and love it with me!

Happy Monday & Happy first day of March!! Woot Woot bring on Spring!

“So you wanna be my friend, so you wanna be my lover. With you I do confess I can't be one without the other.”

Title: Teitur - “One & Only”

Warning: this post is picture overload.

I’m finally getting around to updating so first let’s talk about the snow. Remember how much I hate it? Yeah, it got worse. As if we didn’t get enough snow the first time around, the second batch it. We pretty much stayed inside until we had to go and dig out 2 days later. Here is a few pics. Please know that going out in the snow does not require any fashion sense.

Vito thought it would be cool to dig a tunnel. He thought it would turn into a big room and hallways, he didn’t get very far.

At least we survived Snowmageddon! & if I never see snow again, I’d be pretty happy about it!

On to Valentine’s Day Weekend.

Saturday was spent with my Princess. We played games, ate Chinese food, & sang and danced to Lady Gaga.

We then did gifts. I got her a HSM musical DS game to which she shrieked and fell on the floor. She said it was the best gift ever. While Vito went to get Chinese, she wanted to make him a card so we got out my scrapbooking supplies and she made this beautiful card that he loved.

Of course Princess & I took pics, it is our tradition. Please ignore my hideous faces and enjoy her precious face.

I loved spending the day with my little Valentine.

On Valentine’s Day, I got up and cooked breakfast for Vito that included apple streusel pancakes, bacon, sausage, hash browns, and orange juice. It was a feast. We then watched the Notebook. After that I headed to Border’s to meet up with my Princess, sister, and brother-in-law. I worked on Homework while Vito got things ready.

For the rest of Vito’s present I got him a basket full of his favorite candies, big tubes of paint, new belts, and a scarf.

When I came home, I was greeted with a candlelight dinner. He made us steak, home made crab cakes, garlic mashed potatoes, and steamed broccoli. For dessert, he won me over with chocolate covered strawberries.

We spent the rest of the night taking pics.

It was a fabulous Valentine’s day spent with the 2 people I love most!

"Let The Rain Of What I Feel Right Now, Come Down."

Title: Blue October - "Into The Ocean"

I've been MIA for what, a week now? My profs thought it would be an awesome idea to slam me with an insane amount of work before we go on break. Don't worry, they made sure to slam me with an insane amount of work to do over break too. So thoughtful.

I'm being a negative nancy today. My first thought was I will post and get all my anger out but what good will that do. So I decided I would post all my bad things but pair them with goods things to show myself that not all things are bad.

I hate the snow and the wind and this crappy weather that won't let Spring just make its way to me.

♥♥♥

I love that it is finally Friday!

I hate that my college didn't have a delay & I had to drag my butt out of bed this morning because I *HAD* to be in class.

♥♥♥

I love that I got there late worried that I wouldn't be able to find a parking space but most people left scared of the snow, leaving over half the parking spaces open.

I hate that my body felt the need to not allow me to breathe through my nose so I was awake most of the night from mouth breathing.

♥♥♥

I love and I am so thankful to have a warm bed to lay in at night even if I'm not sleeping while others who are less fortunate worry about staying warm at night.

I despise lazy people who apparently have an inability to even write a phone message or write an email so I have to do it while they do nothing.

♥♥♥

I love that I am blessed to have a job in these times when so many struggle without a job.

I hate that when Vito's birthday comes and goes this week, the most he may possibly get from his family is a phone call or a text message.

♥♥♥

I love that my family celebrates his birthday just like he is one of our family all along.

I think that's a good enough list for right now.

So tell me, what is something you hate right now then follow it up with a positive!

It'll help, trust!

Fill in the Blank Friday {1}

I'm running low on motivation to write posts but I promise I will post pics soon from V-day.

So today I've decided to join in on Fill In The Blank Friday created by Lauren!

1. If I could medal in an olympic event it would be Ice Skating. I love to watch it.

2. If I was stranded on a deserted island I'd take a boat to get off of it. Or a house that would magically have electric and running water, ipod, books, my Princess, Zoe, and Vito.. If I get stuck, I might enjoy it.

3. Vomit & Clowns are my most irrational fears.

4. I'd rather starve everyday, than eat onions everyday.

5. I am sad I have to spend most of my weekend at school working on group projects .

6. I should really be working.

7. One of my favorite things in all the world is lying on the beach, surrounded by my family, listening to the waves crash and my niece laugh..

Feel free to get over to her blog and link up!

Happy Friday!

P.S. Please feel free to head over the the fabulous Valerie's blog, she is having a giveaway!
