4Ft teddy's and some birthday shenans

It's beyond me that I turned on some Christmas music in august when writing this post. Merry August 7th! 7-3=4. My birthday was three days ago! 19 yo. Putting on them big girl panties. I can legally buy tobacco in the dirty Jers. because obviously that is what I'm doing. (read: NOT). I bet your reading this and thinking gah this girls blog I follow, she is a child compared to me! Sorry! You are not old. I'm just young. Think of me like you think of the grandma's and grandpa's on facebook. Appreciated but sometimes not necessary. Couldn't even tell you what I'm saying right now. I miss the days of being home ALL day staring at my computer refreshing blogger, waiting for a new post to stalk. Now that I have my last minute camp day job before heading to school, I have zilch (0) blog relaxing time. 

Back to the birthday shenans. It wasn't stellar but turned out in the end to rock my world. 

I didn't get the presents I wanted but I did get a tiffany necklace (nothing too glammy. thank gosh, so not me), and a BirchBox subscription (hi sister because I know you will eventually read this). Also B's present? L-O-L. Like actually I'm confused but its cute. and It's large. and it's sitting on my bed. Awkwardly far enough away from me that it doesn't a) take up my bed and b) creep me out in the middle of the night. 

A four foot giant teddy bear. Literally what. Thats all I have been saying. 

The card made me all warm and giggly inside though because he actually thinks its cute that I sleep with his clothes as blanket. I am a child. #Notsorry. Also shout out to the error in the message. Ten points to gryffindor if you figure it out. Aka everyone gets a point because it is easy-peasy to detect! B's mom told me she suggested a monogram travel bag. I don't know why he didn't listen to her but alrighty B, you do you. Also he gave me chocolate covered gummy bears in THE MORNING (breakfast) on the way to Miss USA (post to come friday). He knows how much I love chocolate covered gummy bears. Especially for b-fast. Super nutritious right? Aren't gummy bears like, their own food group? ;)

Cue awkward #ootd. My mirror selfies just weren't havin it on my birthday. Sup to my monogram necklace, Joyce Leslie lace shorts, and American Apparel Leotard. 

A face you've never seen before on my blog I'm assuming, right?

Icky photos but love my big sister and our boyfriends. (She stole the good side. Grrrr)

Go check out her fancy shmancy blog and buy some affordable yet WAY trendy post cards. 

So happy I got to celebrate it with my family.

And ended my birthday with some friendly's ice cream. Heck yes.

And then Monday I got to meet Miss USA....dream.come.true. 

Check back on Friday's post!!!!!

Fireworks, segways, and exhaustion

I sure hope you aren't judging me for blogging at 820 on a friday night. Lame-o I know. I have a case of straight up exhaustion though. Too tired to move from my bed...so BLOGGING IT IS!

Uhhhh so Rachel, why are you so exhausted? I'll tell ya why!

Wednesday night: Had my segway 'orientation'. We got to get a better understanding of how to navigate a segway. It's been three days now and I still suck at stopping. It was fun though! True story aka you might want to skip over this: When I was in 8th grade I used to take classes at a talent agency. 6 years later, I go to segway orientation and my talent class teacher was there. working the corners with some segway-age (sorry doesn't make much sense oh well) action. Never know who you'll meet again! I was so so so so soooooo thrilled it only lasted 45 minutes so I was able to hop on over the bridge to B's house. I didn't even ask to come over I just showed up. and he didn't have time to say no. Thank gosh because we went to dinner with his parents, which was a blast! Love great people. Then we watched HGTV and I took a nice nap. Disclaimer: We're still in college. But whatever I love me some HGTV.

Thursday: DA FOURTH. I didn't tweet anything really patriotic. Or insta any flags. Or even wear red white or blue. Sue me. I did, however, have my first day on the job. What did I have to do, you ask? Ride a segway around people. Awkwardly interupt conversations or confront people who didn't want to be bothered by us if they wanted some free water. WHO TURNS DOWN FREE THINGS. ESPECIALLY WATER. It's hot out thurrrr people. But it was fun. Minus the fact creepy high schoolers ask for my number and a ride on my segway. How about no. Buh-bye. 

Here lies the proof:

Seriously. I can't believe I even posted this. So embarrassing. The hat made me look like I had a huge bubble of a head. Also I got yelled at for promoting McDonalds. Like excuse me I'm promoting frozen drinks not obesity in #Murica...thankies.

ANYWAY...We got done early and Bam! Dinner&Fireworks. I went to B's house without him since his parents were shmoozing with some friends and I got a front row view of some 'fworks (just made that up...I should probably be sleeping instead of writing this). Also, his mom was so excited I was there to show me off to her friends. And people were so happy to meet me. Maybe because they are shocked to know that quiet ole B has a sometimes not so quiet girlfriend. So here's some more pictures for your bored-of-reading-eyes:

Hope you enjoyed your fourth festivities! 

Now get me to bed! Happy weekend!

We did it!

Happy one year to me & B!

...of course he forgets to hide the food behind his back....

But boy am I obsessed with this new pic of us! So obsessed that I decided to revamp my blog since I'm really enjoying the color red recently. 

*****

Have you heard of Alex and Ani jewelry? Their bracelets are so cute AND very inexpensive. I cannot stress that enough. I know people that have so so many and get addicted to buying them. The charms on the bracelet (depending on what type of bracelet you get) usually represents something (i.e power, loyalty, etc). They also have ANYTHING you could possibly be looking for....your initial, favorite sports team, birth stones, astrology signs, and even sororities! My roomie this past year bought them as if they were going out of style. The women who owns/creates this line was an Alpha Xi Delta (and so is my roomie, thus her chapter hosted fundraisers with them). She eventually took me to Princeton, where they have a store, and I saw the price and said Hey why not! We got the best friends one since she still angry about me transferring.

Blaming my roomie for my newfound addiction, I spotted the crown one (Being that I love pageants way too much). I knew I had to have it so I suggested to B that he should buy it for me since

1. He couldn't go wrong with buying me something he knows I'd like 2. Its inexpensive 3. If a student, you get a college discount. 4. Every month they have a select bracelet that is five dollars off (May just so happened to have the crown) Hello, perfect! Can't wait for you to be mine!

mission possible: MDW.

For lack of a better explanation, MDW is here and I am off to the shore!

Mother nature, why must you give us bad weather out of ALL weekends? Grrrrrr....

Last years MDW = disaster. Oh boy to think how things have change so so much since then and I couldn't be happier. 

Here's a picture from the weekend from utter and complete hell:

My exciting week leading up to today has been as follows:

Working with kiddies, B, working again, watching greek, eating (a lot), taking B to the mall, go to roomies for the night and see her beautiful sister at prom pictures, ICE CREAM, bother B, etc. 

So crazy right?

Not trying to bore you either so here's pictures!...because it proves how lame my life can be.

Mall trip: B is against yellow pants, while I'm 100% for them. I made him try them on. He whined about how silly he looked. (You cray, boy.)

Tuesday's OOTD: Hooray for preppy 'errythang

This picture deserves to be as small as possible because it is, well, icky. B looks like a creeper and I don't even look like myself buuuuuut its proof we hung out this week! and got some yummy cherry-vanilla gelati!! Story time: last year we used to go to this ice cream shop all the time and just sit there til we were the last people in the parking lot and talked for hours and hours, thus the start of our relationshippy! (Yeahhhhhh, I did just say relationshippy. Judge me.)

countdown: 9 days til our one year! 8 days til my surprise from B! 

7 days until LUKE BRYAN!!!

stay up to date on my adventurous life via twitter!
