Hi!!! Hi!!! Hi!!! I'm back on! Sorry for the long break. I took the summer to focus on myself, and I needed a bit of privacy away from everyone. Thank you for understanding. There are a lot of changes on my website that I have been working on. It is still under construction, so bear with me a little bit. Something went wrong with a lot of the old pictures, so I am slowly working on fixing that problem.
I have done so much since I last updated all of you. I spent a lot of time at the beach this summer, and went to tons of Angels games, of course. I learned how to finish a rubiks cube. I went to North Carolina to visit my best friend, Tori, the first week of August. We had an amazing time together, picking up right where we left off. "We still got it!" I absolutely loved it over there. Carolina Beach had to be my favorite place. The houses are so colorful. The people are really nice. We went to a carnival they had on the water and I completely felt like I was in a Nicholas Sparks book. We stayed at a bed and breakfast in Wilmington for a night. The weather was great when it wasn't supposed to be. The first time we went to the beach it started down pouring. There was thunder and lightning and here we are with clothes on and expensive cameras trying to soak it all in...literally. :P All the families out there didn't even move. The kids still ran on the sand and played in the water, while then parents sat on their beach chairs in the pouring rain. It was great. I'll never forget it. I love you, Tori Leigh.
At the very end of August I went to the Taylor Swift tour with Danielle, her sister-in-law, Alyna (Anthony's sister), Sara, and Monica. We had a great time. Danielle, her sister-in-law, Alyna, and I went to Yardhouse before the concert. When I picked up Alyna, Anthony told me to make her feel comfortable and to let him know if she acted up, so we put a martini in her hand and sent a picture to him as a joke. Lol. She had a lot of fun, and I am really glad I was able to take her even though it was a school night. Thanks Ms Gonzalez!!! ;) Not only did Josh Kelley and NeedToBreathe open for Taylor, but Justin Bieber came out and sang "Baby" with her to surprise the crowd. And boy was Alyna surprised!! I definitely saw some tears. Lol <3
The day after the concert Anthony and I went to Lake Havasu, Arizona, to stay with some family friends for one last vacation before the new semester. We had a great time. There were a couple nights of lightning shows, which are my favorite. I love desert storms. We spent a lot of time with Amber, her husband Anthony, and their son Ayden. Ayden is the cutest little boy around. I'm going to have to steal Amber's eggs when I'm ready to have a baby. Lol. It was a lot of fun, and I really miss it already. I hope to be there permanently someday....but until then, it will always be my vacation home away from home.
There were a lot of Disneyland trips, some sleepovers, birthdays (including my 22nd), and deaf events. I have spent a lot of time with my boyfriend's family, and I love every minute of it. Last month school started, we celebrated mine and Krystal's birthdays, went to a special premiere showing of The XFactor USA where I shook Simon Cowell's hand AND got a picture with him...thanks to my amazing boyfriend, I got a new car, and went to Vegas with Anthony to see my favorite singer ever, Garth Brooks. We stayed at the Encore which is apart of the Wynn hotel where he was playing. The concert was so good. It was a very small theater and felt so personal. I'm so glad I finally got to go see his show, and our room was freakin' amazing!
Lately, I have been spending a lot of my time working on some art projects for school. Hannah got a scare on her last set of scans, but a biopsy from Wednesday showed that everything is fine. PRAISE GOD. Reggie is doing well, and is on a new chemo which is partly inpatient and partly outpatient. Danielle is getting married in January, so I have been spending a lot of time with her, helping with whatever I can.
On Tuesday, I went to Santa Monica for a Women For Wishes conference put on by Make A Wish of Greater Los Angeles. It was incredible, and so inspiring. And somehow, everyone who saw my name tag knew who I was. I felt like a mini celebrity. The speech was on reaching your dreams. I got the chills so many times you'd think I was freezing with all the goosebumps on my arms. I had the best time.
Then, of course, there is my boyfriend....and although I know he is shy, I still have to say how incredibly blessed I am to call him mine. He is everything to me. We have been through so much together...much much more than other couples our age. I know it's been rough, and a lot of hard work, but we are more happy and in love than ever before. He just gets me. Isn't that what every woman hopes to be blessed with? I can tell him anything and everything. He makes me laugh, everyday. And although we have so many things in common, we do live very different lives. But I think that is a great thing! It keeps things going, and stops life from getting boring. He takes things into consideration about my life, as do I about his. It's not always easy, but what relationship is? And if we have already made it through some of the toughest things couples have to face, then I know we can make it through anything else that comes along, as cliche as that may sound. He's the one. And there is no one else out there I'd rather be with than him. I love you, Anthony.
God has blessed me with so much love. I am so thankful for every day, everyone, and everything He has given me. <3

He’s not perfect.
You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect.
But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold on to him and give him the most you can.
He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break.
Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect more than he can give. Don’t analyze.
Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had.
Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.
