SNOWED IN

Well the weatherman was right. Richmond got about a foot of snow and this ruined my weekend plans to head to Charlottesville. I've been looking forward to this weekend for awhile now, so when Fred called to say the roads were too bad for him to drive him - I almost cried. However, I'm kinda glad it snowed because it gave me a chance to relax, catch up on work, and spend time with my family. My cousin came to work on Wednesday sick, and sure enough Wednesday afternoon I was already coughing and not feeling so hot. I have been taking medicine since then but yesterday I was feeling even worse. Not only was I coughing non-stop, I was going through a box of tissues every hour. I'm sure Denise and Stu would not have appreciated my sickness. Luckily, everyone's free next weekend - so we're going to make a second attempt to visit our friends. I'm even going to an Amos Lee concert with the girls. I've never heard/seen him before but I'm sure it'll be fun. Plus I know Fred & Stu will enjoy having "man time"

As I'm writing this I'm laying here wrapped up in my snuggie watching Drake having a BLAST in the snow. He is bouncing up and down and rolling in it. Even though I've been a grinch about this snow this weekend, he's loving it. My mom won't let me go outside because I'm sick, but she's been taking a lot of pictures. I'll have to upload some pictures of him on here later. He's my little man.


Being snowed in has given me time to think about a lot of things. Yesterday a friend of mine, Desmond, was laid to rest. Even though I wasn't able to attend the funeral, I did attend the viewing Friday night. It was really hard and confusing to see him in the casket while everyone was telling so many wonderful stories about him. I hope that I never have to go to another funeral like that for one of my friends. He will be truly missed.
I'm finally signing up for the Ukrops 10k. I am not running this year. I'm doing the walk/jog heat with my mom and my friend Rachel. I feel lazy and fat and I really want to get back into tennis. I watched some of Miss America last night while I layed on the sofa with a box of tissues. I am so not beach-body ready. If only the weather was warmer, I'd get motivated to workout. I saw Target had bathing suits out the other week--eeek.

Hopefully this next week goes by fast and I finally kick this cold!!!!

GO GO, GO AWAY SNOW

Tomorrow Fred and I are supposed to be driving to Charlottesville to visit Stu & Denise. They have been friends of ours since college and we celebrated their wedding with them in October. SINCE Christmas, Denise and I have been planning this weekend but now the weatherman is calling for SNOW ...and a lot of it. Even my parents think I am crazy for attempting to go to Charlottesville tomorrow. My dad keeps saying, "it's going to snow a foot" <-------shutup.

I am NOT happy about this!

((here is a picture of our lovely friends on their honeymoon))

aren't they cute? too cute.

Today at work everyone kept talking about how "excited" they were about the big snow headed our way. I felt like the grinch when everyone asked me if I was excited, and I would say "No, I hate it because I can't drive in it!"

Luckily, Fred just bought a truck last weekend. A pretty big one with 4wheel drive. I told him we have to go to Charlottesville... you have a truck now! If I wake up in the morning and snow is blocking our travels to Stu and Denise's humble abode I'm going to cry. I want nothing more than to drink, eat, and spend time with good friends!

So go away snow!!!

Professional and John Mayer SHIRTLESS!!

Last week I started my paralegal internship at my cousin's law firm, Burnett&Williams. I'm usually really nervous before I start new things. I get nauseous and have butterflies in my stomach, but for some reason I woke up and wasn't nervous at all my first day! My cousin, well my mom's cousin, so he'd be my 2nd cousin -- his name is JIM. Jim has 4 other offices around Virginia, but I'm working at his Midlothian location. It's small ....and I like it that way! I'm also comfortable knowing that he is there to guide me along. His lawfirm is solely personal injury, so right now I'm doing the not so exciting stuff, "medical chronologies." Basically I am putting together all the medical reports and summarizing all the medical terminology. BORING! However, I get to go to court with him next week and he's going to have me calling witnesses, interviewing them, sending out subpoenas etc. I'm pretty excited... I really want to do well since I've spent the last 2 years studying this stuff! I go in every Monday/Wednesday/Friday and I'm looking forward to these next few months. Cross your fingers he offers me a job!

Nowwwwww that I'm working in a law office means I have to start looking more PROFESSIONAL. This past weekend I spent A LOT of money in Anne Taylor Loft. I ended up getting an Anne Taylor card because I bought some pants, tops, and a SUIT. Wow. Speaking of suits, I did not realize how EXPENSIVE THEY ARE! Luckily I got the jacket on sale this past weekend but when I went to The Limited to look for a suit, the jacket itself was $158!! WhO pAyS thAT?! Even though I was sick and tired of trying on clothes by the end of the day, I had fun getting some new business like apparel.

If my friends saw me at the office, they would probably tell me how grown up I look.

Well enough about my internship. I came home and was rushing to get to class only to find out it was canceled. Luckily I checked my e-mail before I walked out there. But then something else caught me on perezhilton.com ................................

JOHN MAYER IS ON THE COVER OF ROLLING STONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

today is exactly 1 MONTH until I get to see him in DC. The last time he toured was 2008 soooooo I'm super excited. I'm also going to see him in Charlottesville March 16th with my parents. Our seats are AWESOME --maybe he'll even spot me in the crowd and have his body guard escort me back to his bus =)

this picture made my day so I hope you all enjoy!

A NEW YEAR

I'm so excited for the new year!

I start my internship on Wednesday and I'll be done with school (until I get my Masters) in May!

Even though my final semester of school is starting up I'm looking forward to road trips, warmer weather, blogging more, and spending another wonderful year with my boyfriend.

This past weekend I accompanied Fred to his company, Premium's, christmas party! I knowwwwwww christmas was last month but the beer distributors are so busy over the holidays they have their annual christmas party in January! We had great time and stayed at a pretty fancy hotel. We danced all night, ate great food, and enjoyed being with friends!

We stayed in Manassas instead of Fred's house in Arlington. I hadn't seen his parents or sister in a long time... so it was nice to go out with them and play wii all weekend!

Here are some pictures of Fred and I dressed up Saturday night!

----sorry if you can't tell my hair is short. I straightened it for the evening, but when it's curly it's up to my ears!!
