expectations and good times

why do i often seem to create unrealistic expectations just to experience the let down? i have no idea how i manage to feel this way sometimes but it seems to creep into life every once in a while. i guess it happens because we create the best possible scenario in our minds but it never seems to play out exactly the way we envisioned. life will happen regardless of what we expect it to look like. i think i have really started to realize this. maybe i'm finally becoming wise or maybe i just never wanted to believe it wasn't always going to go my way before.

now that i got that out of my system here are some good times i've had lately.

jaime and allan got married! it was such a fun weekend full of love and laughs. thanks to courtney i was able to successfully grab this photo from facebook!

we went to ranger's opening day and i desperately needed shorts. lots of good times even in the heat!

i seriously cannot get enough of this sweet little boy. i love him dearly. we were having a good time in the dressing room the other day waiting on my sis and reba!

and here are a couple fun moments from the zach brown and kenny chesney concert!

i have definitely had some good times lately and i'm so thankful for the family and friends i've spent so much time with during all the craziness over the last few weeks. my expectations with them never change because they always surprise me with how awesome and loving they are.

have a good week. loves.

tears and life lately

why does life never seem to go the way i've planned? sometimes i feel like i over analyze everything and don't even allow myself to enjoy it all because i am too worried about what will happen next or about making sure things go exactly as i've planned or feel they should. it's the strangest thing. i am a planner to the max and quite the organizational freak. if i'm not being lazy, that is. i like things the way i like them.

tonight i cried, and it was for the strangest reason. what caused them was reason for tears i guess, but not really. i don't feel like explaining mostly because it's LAME to the max degree but because i tend to dwell on things and i should try a new method to my life madness!

so, what's new??? well, i have been super busy at work and it makes my head spin. i feel like i have been really lethargic lately and have really enjoyed laying on the couch watching a combination of rachel zoe, the kardashian's and other various reality shows. it hasn't been too exciting around these parts.

last week i met my college roomies for dinner and that was definitely exciting. they are such a nutty group and i wish we could spend more than an hour or two every few weeks together. we are scattered across the metroplex and have busy schedules so it makes it hard to find the time but when we are together it feels like we've never been apart. it's absolutely impossible for us to shut up and we always have a blast. i wish i had a pic of them on my computer but i haven't uploaded pictures in a really long time. super sad. i will take one soon and show you their lovely faces. i think they are actually my only readers so i guess you don't really need a pic...

more next time. loves.

me

so, obviously there are so many things about myself that i could tell you, but do you really want to hear them? i mean, i could make myself sound pretty great, right? no one can argue with the claims i have about myself. a short list would be that i am kind, a true friend, not extremely confident without a great new outfit or feeling thin on any given day, giving, impatient when it comes to certain things, very empathetic, athletic yet graceful, an exceptional bridesmaid, freckled, much like my mother but very similar to my father at the same time, often surprisingly funny, goofy, lazy-eyed, pretty smiling, and overall a beautiful person. what do you think? does it sound accurate or believable?

sometimes when it comes to things about yourself the people closest in your life really know the answer better than you do yourself. just like i know that my sister is extremely forgetful and i will literally have to remind her to bring me the book i would like to borrow 4 times and she will still forget it. so, i will have to remember to get it from her the next time i am at her house but i love that. i love that we are so different and i think it's part of what makes us so close. we each do certain things in life better than the other but also know each other so well that none of it bothers either one of us. its good to have a sister. i love mine dearly.

here we are on the prime meridian. cool, huh?

that's all for now. loves.
