Okay, I'm awful at this. But I'm gonna to my best to catch up this past month.
So I've been working at Walgreen's for a year now (which means I got a raise, yay!). And in the past the only way I've been able to get a weekend off is if I ask, which includes putting a request in the computer a few weeks in advance. So it's been quite shocking that I've been getting every couple of weekends off without having to ask off. I've been enjoying it to say the least :) The first weekend of September fell over my nephew's second birthday and I was so happy to be able to go home for that. (I don't know why but I've been super home-sick and going home anytime I have off) He's such a cutie! And I can't believe he's already 2!!
His sister couldn't stand to not help him out with his cake and presents, it was hilarious to watch. And I'm so glad we got to be there. And on the way home the sunset was beautiful!
So sidenote, when my oldest sister was here in College Station I would come visit her. And one day she got me a Winnie the Pooh cup. Which she still has, but I'm sure my niece and nephew consider it their own. Anyways Jacob and I went to goodwill one day just looking around, and low and behold I found 2 matching mugs!! And so I bought them. Haha. They were cheap so I justified the expense :P
And later that night Jacob and I borrowed Chrissy's clubs and went to the golf range to hit some balls. It was a fun little date night.
In his flip-flops... Haha. We had a lot of fun though.
:)
Every Wednesday night at Grand Station (the local bowling, laser-tag, arcade place) they have ladies' night, where ladies bowl for free. So here's a random pic of us before going to ladies' night with some friends.
Such cuties :P
And of course I can't forget the first midnight yell of the first SEC season. Whoop!
I like to take pictures...
And he likes to take silly pictures....
We tried a few times to get a good shot.
They kept coming out blurry.
But we finally got a somewhat good one. Haha, thanks Mason.
:)
And then there's my addiction to buying things for my kitchen....
When I say he encourages it he disagrees, but he sure does like to show me new cool things I could get.
This one I actually needed. Because mine broke.
This one I got because he pointed it out. And I like buying pineapples so it's definitely been put to good use :)
And then there was another quick trip to Katy.
He's such a good sport about always coming with me :)
And I made some yummy cookies :)
Jacob is between jobs right now so he's had a lot of time on his hands. One thing he's gotten into is looking at deal sites. When he first starting looking at them there was a really good deal on a down comforter... And I've been wanting one... So I ended up getting it... And after I ordered it I really that that meant I would need to buy a duvet cover. And when I went to buy one I realized I'd need new sheets too. So now I have a whole new bed set... Oh and since I went from a pink room and am now transitioning to a blue one I decided to make some new decorations. Here's a picture from how it looked when I first moved in...
And here's how it looks now.
And a close up on my little project :)
And on that note, on the 20th we celebrated our one year anniversary. I couldn't be happier to be with him!! A year ago he was waiting for me when I got off work with a rose in hand and asked me to officially be his girlfriend :)
And on the 20th this year, he was waiting for me outside of work with a dozen red roses.
He said he they didn't have our flower (the one he first got me, which he's gotten a few times since) so instead he got me a dozen red ones :)
And he surprised me with some pretty new earrings which you can ever so slightly see here.
And then it was off to Katy again the next day. Seriously, I've been homesick and going every chance I get. I wasn't joking. Haha.
We were going to go to a car show but it ended up being more expensive than we were hoping so instead we spent the day with running errands with my parents, and we even took them bowling. It was a good weekend.
I got off work late the night of our anniversary and we ended up eating whataburger for dinner and red boxing a movie (romantic, I know) Haha. So we had a little date night in this past week. Steak, yummy mashed potatoes, and some sparkling grape juice to top it off. (much better :P) Lol.
Yes that is a huge piece of steak on my plate, no I did not eat it all. Haha. It was delish and I had a great date night in with him :)
Yesterday I had a dentist appointment, so of course... Back to Katy :)
And afterwards we spent the rest of the day running errands and hanging out with my Mom and these two cuties!
This seriously made my day! Haha!
And he was attached to my phone. When I took it away so we could get in the car to go get Elizabeth from school, he pulled an Alyssa. No joke. Tears, sad face, the whole thing. It broke my heart. And he kept asking for it.
One last thing before I end. I'm trying to get this alphabet down. Yes, I'm 19 and never before now bothered to learn it. I can't read lips either. Jacob tried to mouth something to me, and I didn't get it so he tried to sign it... And now he's making me learn the alphabet. Haha. I'm not complaining though. And I've almost got it down! We even tried to teach it to Elizabeth yesterday.
Well that's my update for now, until next time!
