life

It has been awhile since my last update. Not that anyone is dying to know about my life, I guess I can do this for myself. Things are possibly changing for me and it would be nice to document it. I just need to start doing a better job of it.

My life since the last update has not been too interesting...dating, school and friends are really the only things I have going on. So onto updates about them.

Things didn't feel right with the guy that I had gone on a couple dates with, it felt more like friendship than anything else and I realized I am not willing to open up and be serious right now. I guess I still have some things to get over when it comes to the whole heartbreak thing. This however does not mean that I am not open to dating anymore. I am and I want to. I just have to stay true to how I am feeling and go at my own pace. Ah life.

School is going good for the most part. I have my first tests tomorrow and in a way I am kind of looking forward to them. I am really really trying and I need something to measure my efforts against. If that even makes sense. 

Over the weekend Stephanie and I saw 500 Days of Summer. OMG. I loved it so much. I have a new crush. Joseph Gordon Levitt...so cute. I cried at the end when Summer was explaining to Tom why they didn't work out. Gah. I cannot wait until I get to the point where I don't cry about everything...it should have been over with at the same time the knots left my stomach and the ability to eat came back. Even though I am sure I would still cry at the same scene, I want to go see it again. 

Time to do a bit of math homework and get ready for work. Perhaps I'll update some more at work since I am sure I will have plenty of down time. 

wedding week.

So last week was wedding week and it was one of the best weeks of my life. I had so much fun and ate so much good food and had so many good talks and laughs and hugs and made a new friend, Madeline. I'm sad it is all over with.

Wednesday was the Mehndi party where we all got Mehndi and ate yummy Indian food:

My mehndi. Monty screwed one up when I got home, but overall they looked good and it was a fun and neat experience. Thursday we made the bridesmaid's bouquets at the Flower Man. It was pretty fun and they all turned out really well. Their designer made Stephanie's and it was so pretty. I didn't get a picture of it though. boo.

My bouquet of hydrangeas...love them. Friday Stephanie's mom took us all out to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and then that evening was the rehearsal and Sangeet party. It was so much fun. More yummy Indian food and lots of singing and dancing. Saturday was the wedding...yay!!

Stephanie got her makeup done at MAC by her friend Marissa who did an amazing job!! Then we went back to Dayton and started getting ready. The photographers were there the whole time, as well as a videographer so we just had to wait for the limo before we took off to take pictures at two different locations. 

I've seen a few pictures from each location that the photographer took and both shoots turned out so well and everyone looks so happy and lovely. I can't wait to see the rest. After the pictures we headed to the Officer's Club and then it was time for the wedding!!! The whole ceremony was beautiful, but when Ravi and Stephanie exchanged vows...I lost it. I had been crying throughout the whole thing, but that just pushed me over the edge into sobbing. Ha, I'm such a girl. The reception was at the same place as the ceremony so we got to start eating and partying right away, which was nice. 

Once the dance floor opened up it was non stop dancing. I don't think I've ever danced that much. 

Me and my parents. I think it is safe to say that my mom had the most fun out of anyone at the wedding. She will talk to anyone and talk about anything. Within five minutes of the ceremony being over she found me and introduced me to like five different people that she had met. 

Erik, the best man...who dropped me on the dance floor when he insisted that he dip me while we were dancing. 

The handsome groom, Ravi dancing with his wife. 

Their cute cake that our friend Beth made. Their toppers are their Mii's along with their dog and two cats...so cute!!!

One of Ravi's cousins dancing it up. He was a really good/intense/crazy dancer. He had some ridiculous moves that would kill a normal person....he however is a dancing machine.

And now it has been almost a week since the wedding and I wish it was happening again tomorrow. 

weekend fun

This past weekend was amazing. I am still not fully recovered from it.

Saturday was Stephanie's bachelorette party that consisted of dinner at Shanghai Mama's and then gambling at Hollywood Casino where we met up with the guys who also went there for Ravi's bachelor party.

I won $40 on the slots, but after everything I spent/lost I really only won $10. The casino was so much fun though, I loved it. The lights, the sounds, all the people...it was amazing.

I took my camera but for some reason failed to take any pictures of all the girls all dressed up at dinner and left it in the car at the casino. So unfortunately no pictures.

We got back around 4:30 in the morning and I woke up at 8. I ran some errands and then Stephanie and I headed down early to Convington, KY to The Pledge/Have Heart show. 

The Pledge did soooo good. They sounded amazing and everyone got into it. It made me happy for them. The next band suck and the singer was a douche, but the rest of the bands I liked. And Have Heart did amazing as well. It had been forever since I'd been to a bigger show like that, or an out of town show and seeing everyone get along and have fun made me realize that I miss it. And the car rides to and from the show. There are always good talk and silly fun. 

Yesterday was laundry day for me and when I got back, the guy came over and we watched a movie, Scotland, PA. I wasn't too much fun though because I was so tired and ended up falling asleep half way through the movie and missed the ending. 

Now its time to get ready for work, I haven't worked since last Wednesday so I'm having a hard time finding the motivation to stop watching Gilmore Girls and do my hair. 

date night

I haven't blogged in awhile. When I first started this I told myself that I would blog almost every day, that didn't happen. Oh wells.

I haven't really been up to much the days I missed posting though. Just working and hanging out.

Last night though, I went on a date. The first date I've gone on since I got my heart a little bit broken in the spring. Its been almost five months, I know its time to move on. I've known that for awhile now and have wanted to date, I just didn't know how I would feel about it once I did date again. I didn't want to get all stressed out all over again. I feel pretty much over it, though I still think about it every once in awhile and I get that knot in my stomach and my eyes tear up. Like now. Bah. 

So back to my date...it went well. I made sure I was open and not standoffish. Well at least I hope that is how I came across. 

We went to the movies and saw District 9. I liked it, a lot more than I thought I would. I was a little sad by the end of it. Just how things ended and things it made me think about. But I guess thats what movies are suppose to do, good ones at least...make you think.

So after the movie we went and got food at Brio and then back to my place to watch a couple episodes of Gilmore Girls because he had never seen it. I guess starting on season five isn't the best place to introduce someone to it, because he pretty confused about who was who and what was going on.

Here is my work/date outfit:

And now I'm thinking, if I'm going to start dating then I'm going to need more date clothes.
