Can I help you???

       I have been paying attention to peoples words and actions alot more lately. Something that I have noticed that has started to rub me the wrong way, is when someone tells you that if you need anything to call them, BUT you know they are doing somethiing that they cannot leave or won't leave to lend you the help offered. That really bothers me. I know that the person may WANT to help you, but what if you actually needed help, and you were to go to that person, and then they couldn't/wouldn't help you? It's as if the person just WANTS to give off the air of love and compassion without actually following through.
       I am sure I have/do this as well, and that urks me! I want to be the type of person that follows through on their word. It reminds me of Matthew 5:37 "Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one." Let your offer be an offer that can be depended on!

DRUM ROLL PLEASE.........

         Are you ready for the big news?? Sit down, brace yourself.....


I AM FINALLY GRADUATING FROM VCU!!!!!

Thats right.... FINALLY... 5 years in and I will graduate May 21!! GOODNESS. It feels so good. When I got my final grade back I was jumping, screaming and dancing...Ahhh so glorious!! Andrew was with me when I found out and we popped a celebratory bottle of champagne  ( ofcourse shook it up real well to get the "POP", because thats the part that makes it seem legit )!!

So this means I will no longer be "stuck inbetween" college life and "real world" life because I have a job with Carmax now!! I am so pumped, I cannot wait to start this new stage of life. A 9-5 in an office will be hard for me at first, but I'll get used to it. The hardest part will be not being with the Unice's as much!! I will miss hanging with them and being in their lives on such a regular basis, but I will not be GONE GONE. They can't get rid of me.

But that is the news of the week. FINALLY NO MORE VCU!!!

First Ever Nascar experience...

           Yesterday I got to experience NASCAR!! I had told Andrew that I wanted to go to a race because it comes to Richmond every year on my birthday weekend. And being the amazing man he is, he got us tickets to go yesterday( And my birthday is not until tomorrow)!! Andrew not only got tickets for him and I, but for Miller ( my brother) and Emily ( His wife) as well, and it was amazing!!
           The day started off with tailgating and people watching. Our next move was heading over to buy me a t-shirt. I went with Mark Martin #5 for my man of the night, unfortunately he came no where close to winning but it did not matter to me, I was just loving the whole ordeal of NASCAR! There were crazy people, drunk people, red neck people, sober people, rich people, young and old people, just about every classification of human was there.
          The cars were SO loud and SOOO fast, I could not believe it! And when we were there we saw 8 CAUTIONS!! And Jeff Gordon got into a crash that took him out of the race!! It was AWESOME!! I would definitely go again FOR SURE!! If you have not ever been to a Nascar race I would recommend it, even if you don't like Nascar on tv, because I sure don't, however, the whole live Nascar experience is just unreal!!

 My new Marky Mark T-Shirt!!!

Andrew and I during the race...CHECK OUT ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE!!!
