lime cheesecake tartlets

so last night i made lime cheesecake tartlets... just because i could. and they are delicious!

i do admit that i needed to add more butter to the crust, but hey, the first time to try

making these wasn't too bad. :) and nathan definitely isn't complaining!

today was kinda boring. i don't think i missed too much in psychology, if anything all really,

on monday by oversleeping. statistics was useful because of the notes i took, but super

boring... i was literally falling asleep taking notes. 

aaaaand i'm doing some modeling for a local photographer. :) i'm excited!

a little insight

i feel like i can completely relate to this song, for sure. maybe not as much now with certain aspects, but i've been there at one point.

another cover i like is by brooke eden. it's a beautiful song, well performed.

"little miss who you are is so much

more than you like to talk about"

i can't love you back

i'm often times one of those people that expresses their feelings with song lyrics. and sometimes i just like sad and thoughtful songs for no apparent reason. regardless, this song is simply amazing. it's perfect in every way. ♥ enjoy.

If fame were based on kindness instead of popularity, on understanding and not on worldwide attention, you would be the biggest celebrity on earth. And to my heart, you already are.

sleeping beauty + fun

i took a little beauty rest this afternoon after i ate lunch with nathan. i was suddenly woken up by the random ring of our door bell. i wasn't expecting anyone, so i was definitely confused. i rush to the front door to find a huge ass package on the door step and the ups guy in the truck, about to drive off. i bring the package inside to do a good look over because i was expecting a smaller box. (but of course i was excited because getting packages from ups/fedex/wherever is like christmas!) i could have slapped the shit outta that dude... the package was intended to arrive at our wonderful neighbor's house. the package clearly states the name "sam" and apartment "a".... not "b"! it's not like our apartment complex is trying to trick the people with where we leave... it's clearly posted within the brick on our building. who the hell trains these dudes? jeeeeeeeze!

to anyone who would like to visit the best college ever, texas tech of course,

be sure to come during the spring time. the weather is warm, but not to the point

where you melt like a popsicle after leaving an air-conditioned building, the

breeze is perfect (unless there is a dust storm type deal going on), and the

flowers around campus are absolutely gorgeous! most students are friendly

year round, so no worries about that! ;) but everything is just..... HAPPY!

i made a 90 on my statistics test that i took before spring break. i'm fairly

consistent with my test grades in this class. haha, but hey... an 'a' is an 'a'

even if barely so. (that's one thing you definitely learn in college!)

a little humor today was coming home. nathan was leaving to take a test

right as i was about to pull into the garage. he had hit the button for the

garage to go up just like i had.... we both continued punching our remotes

until each of us realized that we both needed the garage open. LOL! it was

pretty hilarious at the time, even though he was in a rush.

EDIT: also make sure that you have awesome friends like randy and

nate! :D hahahaha, tonight has been so much fun! plus i haven't been

inebriated in awhile so that makes it even better. :P funny things are

funny when you're sober but they're hilarioussss when you're tipsy!

Jason Aldean - On My Highway

but what a feeling chasing the sun, living my life like it's shot from a gun,

dying to know whats around the next bend, and smiling as i watch the years roll by.

i'm learning how to take it day by day on my highway. ♥

made seventy dollars today just by selling a bunch of clothes

on craigslist that i don't wear anymore and don't fit anymore.

having big boobs sucks.

it sucks carrying them around.

(ask my back)

and it sucks having to try on

every piece of clothing...

don't even talk to me about bikini shopping.

but yeah, seventy bucks! that's like a shopping spree at

forever21. or two months of tanning. or two visits to

the nail salon. or happy hour for seventy days. NICE!

aaand the pretty little liars season finale was pretty

awesome. BUT i hated the ending... are you for real?

LONG DAY TOMORROW, BUT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!

TWO YEARS!

today marks two years together for nathan and i! ♥

our relationship has endured pretty much everything: happiness, grief, triumph, discouragement, failure, success, luck, and so much more! every day together contributes to the walking stones on our pathway of life.

i am so happy to call him my best

friend, lover, and future husband!

no matter how difficult i am (and believe me, i am very stubborn!) nathan always manages to make everything alright. when i'm super upset and about to have a panic attack, he knows exactly how to calm me down... just the way he does everything is perfect.

i don’t need empty love words coming from somebody

that’ll never love me like you do
i don’t need to feel a warm touch from somebody else cause
no other touch could be this true

well everything about you inside and out is perfect
over the edge i always fall
every time i see you the way i feel reminds me
the world i knew seems so small
cause now with you i have it all

-RANDY ROGERS BAND-

i love you nathan andrew hernandez.
