(May- September) 

I made my first "big" girl purchase.

04' ford mustang

may i introduce you to "miss stang" 

SUCH a proud moment

:)

I went back blonde for like a week, thanks for the hair dresser frying my hair and 

it turning orange I quickly went back to the brunette side! I couldn't deal with the orange for 3 months to put more bleach it to be the color I wanted!

i  still want to go back blonde but the healthier way (if there is)

J's Homecoming... He finally got out of the Marine Corps in September 

& we met in Atlanta with all of his friends from Georgia for the Falcons game.

While James was flying to Atlanta I took the 5 hr drive from Bama the night before to stay

with my friend in who lived in the area and so I could visit her and her little girl! 

                  

I went to check in the morning of at the hotel so we didn't have to worry about that when he got there...

Of course I had to decorate and get the wine ready for his homecoming!

COME BACK TOMORROW TO SEE THE NEXT 25 RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME! 

im back... exciting news ;)

Do you remember that one time in my last post,

back in December, when I said I was going to start blogging again?!

Yeah?! Well I suck because I failed at doing so! HEY IT HAPPENS, RIGHT?

BUT, I really do miss blogging..

Having stuff to look back on in your life by just going to a website of your own

where you tell the whole world your complaints, memories, vacations and share those photos you captured of everything and anything you think will make your blog "better or cooler".

I spent some good time going back looking at my old posts remembering the good, bad and lame posts! haha.. and decided to try to get over this writers block that has been there months! 

I just wish my life lately has been filled with those vacations 

and all the fun stuff! But ever since i moved out to Georgia we honestly haven't done the most exciting things like fly out to California every other month, go to the beaches (because the closet one is 3 freaking hours away..not cool i used to live 30 mins from Gulf Shores, AL.) 

But now that things are about to get exciting again makes me want to keep documenting my life not only for myself but for my lovely followers and whenever I decide to tell my friends and family that I blog! Because honestly I like having this secret from them! I dont know why.. I just like it! Does anyone else hide there blogs from family and friends? :)

(No i am not pregnant nor engaged)

long distance love.

 So today I am gonna talk about my long distance relationship with J.

He is a U.S. Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton in California,

and I am back patiently waiting for him to move back around Aug- December to GA.

when he get out of the Marines to go back to school so he can become an officer in the military! :) 

If you didn't know.

We have been in a relationship since the end of November.

We didn't go "facebook" official until the beginning of this month! 

(Everybody knows facebook makes the shit legit..lol!)

Why you ask? We didn't really know how this long distance shiz was gonna work out.

 

But somehow we manage it and it does work because I mean look at us we're too cute not to be a couple! hehe. I kid, but seriously we are happy to spend a little time together, even if that means more time apart. 

A lot of people think we're crah-crahzyyy!

(yeah..you probably do as well, it's okay.)

We talk on the phone for hours sometimes every night,

we send cute little lovey dovey messages too each other all day long,

send pictures and videos too each other randomly,

skype sometimes. Plan sweet little things we're going to do when we see each other next.

And, once we do get to see each other again,

hello again butterflys; first kiss, hug, etc. again; can't keep hands off of each other the whole time we are together; you know all the mushy lovey dovey stuff! :) 

We make it work and our love is strong! 

A lot of people think we're crah-crahzyyy!

(yeah..you probably do as well, it's okay.)

LOVE MAKES YOU DO CRAZY THINGS ;)

You stand by me
And you believe in me
Like nobody ever has
When my world goes crazy
You're right there to save me
You make me see how much I have
You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
And I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend

(Just had to add this... he told me he loved me when I was in California & this is how it went!

J: You promise you won't be mad at me.

Me: (confused face) i don't think i can unless you did something really bad.

J: Courtney, i love you.

C: big smile, I love you too baby

 Feburay 17th :D)
