Lately I've been seeing a lot of people create a post of all (or some) things that they believe in and I find that it's an interesting way to get to know someone. So of course, I'm deciding to jump on the "I Believe" post bandwagon and post some of mine! Hopefully this will help you find some stuff out about me that you already didn't know!
I believe in true love and romance.
The world can't go round without it and I feel like love is what truly brings out the best in someone.
I don't believe that there are perfect people out in this world but I do believe that there is that imperfectly perfect someone out there for you.
I believe that family should always come first.
I believe honesty and sometimes silence is the best policy.
I believe there is good in everyone.
I believe there is a soulmate for everyone.
I believe that people should concentrate more on what they can do rather than what they can't do.
I believe in God.
I believe what goes around comes around in good and bad situations.
I believe there is always gold in something shitty.
I believe you should stop and put yourself in someone's shoes before you judge.
I believe that you must love yourself before you can love anyone else.
I believe you should listen more than you speak. I believe you should live spontaneously.
Let's go back to the time where we just cruised around town with the windows down and sang our favorite songs....
Those times when you'd rush to get me home before my curfew and I'd lay my head in your lap while the crisp fall air would seep through the windows and John Mayer songs would surround us..
Times when I'd knock on your window to wake you up and you'd let me in and we'd just cuddle all day.
That first date when you took me to Midori and you had never eaten sushi before and didn't know how to eat it...you were so adorable. That day is when I truly fell in love with you...
That time when you called me to come outside of my cousins house and officially asked me to be yours followed by a kiss that gave me chills throughout my whole body.
When you rushed after the homecoming dance to come see me and we just talked, you leaned up against the car and we made out like the crazy teenagers in love.
When what seemed like every weekend we'd go to our favorite restaurant, La Margarita, and order the same thing that by the 3rd time they didn't even give us menus anymore and immediately had our food for us.
That one snow day senior year when walking to your car you totally decked me in the face with a huge snowball and I couldn't even get mad at you cause of that smile of yours...
Our powder puff game senior year when I completely bulldozed that girl and got the flag and you ran out to the field and picked me up and was so proud of my killer Linebacker skills
That time when I made a romantic little picnic at the canals in Las Colinas and you were so surprised and instead of going out after we just decided to go snuggle up in bed and watch movies all night
That one time when we were watching a movie and we both were knocked out cold and woke up at 3 in the morning and were frantically trying to get me home so my parents wouldn't kill the BOTH of us!
When you had your first plane ride ever with me on our way to Florida and you were so scared...it's okay you can admit it ;)
That time when you met my biological father...no other guy or friend has ever met him...You know I love you if that happened...
When at Cherie's wedding you danced with me and totally booty danced on my aunt...highlight of my life!
That little talk we had in your dads truck before we walked into our high school graduation...
Two words...TRASH DESERT
That time you almost beat up some asian guy at the Mike Posner concert cause he was about to elbow me with how crazy he was dancing
Going to our high school prom, you all dressed up and looking so handsome. Both of us nominated for prom king and queen and although we didn't win, you were still my king for the night and you will always be forever...
When we used to go to the driving range on the daily cause that was our new little hobby
When you made a huge poster saying 'I love you' and left it on my car along with flowers just because...
When I was helping you pack for your big move to San Antonio and I tried to put a smile on my face but wanted to break down crying almost every second of the day
When you got your first tattoo and and out of everyone you chose me to be there to experience it with you
When you got your motorcycle and I was terrified but then seeing the joy it brought you eased my mind and let me accept the fact that it might be just a little dangerous
I love you Anthony Allbritton. Always have and always will...I can't wait to make more memories with you. My heart is yours, forever.
I remember what I was doing and where I was when the terrorists attacked the World Trade Center. I was in 4th grade and enjoying my time in P.E. when I was called down to the front office. I was told to get all of my things and my mother was waiting to take me home. I was so confused because I couldn't think of any doctors appointments or family events...as I walked into the front office I was suddenly surrounded by a room full of crying parents, all trying to get their children out of school. My mom was trying to hold back her tears while grabbing my hand and walking out the door. I could tell she's been crying for a while by looking at her red swollen face. I was totally clueless and as a little girl and seeing my mother cry terrified me a bit. She was griping my hand tight the whole way home. As soon as I walked into the house I saw my grandma, aunt and uncle surrounding the television and then there it was, the towers were crashing down right in front of my eyes. I was in shock and as a 4th grader I couldn't fully grip what was going on but I knew that it wasn't good. Tears and weeping were surrounding me. I remember they were also worried about my grandfather who worked for the government in downtown Dallas. Anything could happen...was his building next? As soon as they evacuated his building he immediately showed up, thank God. Everything after that is a blur to me but as 9/11 creeps around each year I always remember that moment. My heart goes out to all of the families who have lost their loved ones in this tragic attack. I can only imagine the hurt that they were feeling at that very moment or even as the anniversary comes around each year. Let's take the time to be thankful for the brave fire fighters and remember all of the lives that were taken from us that day. It's amazing to see how such a corrupt and tragic event could bring us Americans even closer together. We are one and together we will never forget! Today we are all New Yorker's. God bless America.
Yesterday I was talking to Anthony and we were doing our biweekly discussion of when we'll see each other next and after talking for a while we figured out that the next time we'll be able to see each other again is in...4 WEEKS! Seriously, I just about died. Our schedules conflict so much and sometimes it gets so tough to pick out a right time to visit one another! Honestly, all I wanna do is cry but I know that's not going to help anything and there's only so much crying I can do. Being away from the best friend/love of your life has to be one of the hardest things ever but we make it work. When you truly love someone no distance or time can separate you and it won't ever break your bond or love for one another. So as I was moping around and going through my iPhoto I never realized I had so many photos of us. It's crazy looking at all the pictures from when we were friends, our first couple of dates, trips we've taken, etc... they show how much we've grown and it's so weird to see the evolution of our love. Here are a few that I found going through my photos...
He was my date to cheerleading banquet Junior year!
Here we were at cheer camp the summer right before senior year! We were just friends at this time but he came up and supported us! Who would've known we'd be dating 4 months later?

Clearly I love to abandon my blog and not update but as I always say, I promise to keep up with it from now on! Lately I've been wrapped up in my studies and boring adult responsibilities that I've had barley any time for myself or my hobbies! Let's have a recap of all the days or should I say weeks that I've been gone...
Labor Day weekend I made another drive to good ole San Antonio to visit Anthony! That drive gives me serious back and butt pains but well worth the pain and drive! So, if you follow me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram then you know that Anthony finally got his Harley Davidson motorcycle that he's been yearning for! I guess you can say I nearly had a heart attack when I found out but at the same time wanted to be happy and support his likings and new hobby of riding. At first I hated the idea of him on a motorcycle but then I began to warm up to the idea once I saw that huge smile on his face when he was cruising around town. Anthony is probably one of the most responsible people I know and that's one of the reasons I'm feeling a littleat ease about the whole thing. Also, his dad has been riding for years and years and so I know he'll be mentored by one of the best! Not saying that I'm 100% okay with the motorcycle but I'm at least at a 60% and that's better than nothing, right?
The rest of the weekend we just spent most of our time watching some football, chowing down on wings and enjoying each others company. I overall had the best Labor Day weekend! Now let's fast forward through the boring work and school sched this week and talk about this past weekend! My best friend Jordan came back in town this weekend and I was so happy I could cry! Friday we went to go watch her little bro play football for Mac Arthur and we definitely caught a little bit of nostalgia of our old cheerleading days and wanted to do it all over again! Time really does fly by! Then Saturday of course I worked all day, nothing new, and later that night I caught a little bit of the Texas game at my aunt's and then made my way out with some friends I made from Zumba! We had dinner at Blue Fish and then hopped on a party bus to Mambo Cafe and salsa danced the night away! Sunday was definitely recovery day and after getting about 3 hours of sleep I had a very relaxing 6 hour nap!
Overall, the past two weekends have been total success! Now I'm in class, back on my grind and getting things done! I hope everyone has a great school/work week!
