30 day blog challege - Day 4

Your parents.

My parents are the best. I look more like my mom, but my personality is more like my dad. I'm the more calm - "let it slide" type of person - which is like dad. 

My parents have always been so supportive of me and even though I've almost given them a heart attack at times - they have never judged me or any of my friends. They are so open-minded and loving and caring. I wouldn't be the person I am today without them and I love them very much.

A picture of somewhere you would like to travel.

My heritage originates back to Spain. I'd need to catch up on my spanish, dust off the ol' esponal books before I go!

Day 2 of 30 day blog challenge

Day 2

What does your blog name mean?

"Down the street from here.."

Well, considering this blog is about my adventures with my significant other, a big part of who we are is the fact we grew up "down the street" from each other. Also, I consider myself to be a bit neighborly so you can kind of feel like I am only "down the street" from where you are. (that last part was lame but whatevs. don't act like you didn't like it)

Exhausting

I never understood how exhausting wedding planning was until this weekend. Phil and I seriously spent the entire weekend figuring out that special day. I know it's 10 months away, and that seems like forever, and it feels that way too, but I just want to get it done. Since we live about 3 hours away from our home and the place we are having our wedding, every opportunity we get to get on top of planning - we do.

I am just so glad it's finally starting to have a feel and look to it. I can almost picture it when I close my eyes.

As soon as things REALLY come along, I'll update more. We do have where our reception is taking place. I am keeping my fingers crossed today that where we are wanting to have our ceremony isn't booked!! I'll post pictures when we figure out if we are having it there! :)

30 day blog challege - Day 1

1st comes 1st.

Here is ME: On my 21st birthday - which was a couple of years ago, but I think this picture describes me pretty well.

15 facts about me.

1-I have a fiancee. He's pretty amazing.

2-I drive really fast, I feel like every where I am going is a race.

3-I have a Black Lab and a Black kitty with some white spots. They are my fur children

4-Two of my favorite people in the world are my niece and nephew

5-There isn't a bed big enough for me to take over. I am a serious bed hog.

6-I love computer games - so nerdy

7-I was kicked out of college - but I begged my way back in and worked my ass off - one of the best lessons I've ever learned.

8-I have never had an argument or fight with my older sister, straight love!

9-I met my fiancee when we were 6, he lived in the same neighborhood as me and we grew up as good friends. (No, it wasn't love at first sight - that took about 13 years later)

10-I still have no idea what I want to do with my life.

11-I am a Alpha Delta Pi alum!

12- For some odd reason it is way easier for us to keep an animal alive than a plant

13- I have super high anxiety, but I've overcome so many obstacles lately that have made fighting it easier (moving to SC, getting on a 5 1/2 hour plane flight to seattle, staying home alone for more than one night in a row..etc)

14-I have a super close family - as in we have a family get together almost every weekend. (Wouldn't have it any other way since my family is SO cool to hang out with)

           -living in SC has made this more difficult to go to them all, but I try to make it to as many as possible!

15-I am very sarcastic, other may call be the "B" word at times, but once you get to know me, I'd like to think i'm super nice. (RIGHT??)

Don't you dare laugh at this photo - Okay you can totally laugh at it because it's ridiculous. I'm not really sure what my parents were thinking putting my sister and I in matching outfits.

 I'm the little brunette to the left. You can't even tell that we're related, but I promise we have the same parents.

Serious Target Freak Out

So, yesterday I went to Target to pick up a couple of things and decided to swing by the clothing department (because face it, you can't just walk past it). I saw this super cute outfit that would be wonderful for both work and every day outtings. I went to the dressing room to try it on, and low and behold the pants were almost to small.

Freak out NOW.

Seriously, I can't go up another size - I just can't. In the past two years I went up two sizes!!

So, I quickly jogged over to the work out section and picked up nice running outfits. (because I needed to JOG and work off some of this weight) I picked up some cute shorts like this pair of Champion yoga shorts.

 I'm in like major freak out mode. I'm getting married in about 10 months. I REFUSE to go try on wedding dresses feeling like this. SO, from this point forward - my running isn't going to just be once a week, or when I can find time. I am seriously going to run as much as humanly possible (well not really) but you know what I mean.

And no more, "it's okay if I get Moe's tonight" type ordeals.

I can't gain anymore weight, I seriously refuse. What frustrates me the most is I don't even feel that big. Honestly, I'm not even that big - but I can't get any bigger. I can't afford to.

I can buy a new outfit here and there, but unless I win the lottery tomorrow - I seriously can't buy a new wardrobe. UGH.

I can still fit into MOST of my dresses  and my tops are all fine, it's just my pants, shorts and skirts. Well, you can obviously tell where I put on all my weight. Damn you ass, legs and hips.

Anyways, this is my weight vent. Hopefully, the next time I have something to say about weight it will be something along the lines of, "I've lost weight!!" Let's hope!

Happy Memorial Day!

So, I'm usually not very pale (and that's because I use to have lots of free time in college to go get fake tans or go to the beach) Now that I am in the real world - this is not feasible. Thank you Memorial Day weekend, I officially do not look like a vampire.


Still can't say I'm tan, just not scary pale anymore.


I hope everyone had a safe and joyous weekend. I will write a post later about my adventures (and it was an adventurous weekend)
