SPRING BREAK

Well spring break came & went....but I enjoyed it.  It was much needed break.

I left Knoxville on Friday morning after class and arrived in Garner just in time for dinner.  I had a wonderful dinner with Lee and his parents at McCall's.  Nothing beats a nice home style mean after all day in the car.  Saturday morning Lee took me to look at engagement rings.  He wanted to know what style of ring I liked so he could start saving for it.  I know it will be awhile before we actually get engaged much less hitched, its still super exciting to think about.  We went to Diamonds Direct at Crabtree and we met this really nice lady.  It was alot of fun and very exciting! There were so MANY different types of rings, it was very overwhelming.  I tried on some many, they all started to run together.  But we left there educated about diamonds!  

The rest of the weekend & week was very nice - minus a minor set back on Tuesday night.  I decided to dye my hair...and if you havent seen me lately I was really blonde.  Well that was mistake, I ended up calling around trying to find someone who could correct the color of my hair.  I finally found a lady last minute who agreed to fix it.  So now i'm back dirty brown.  


I was also able to babysit a little and then I worked one shift at the hotel.  And I also did a little school work.  And then just hung out with the boy.  The next weekend we went to dinner at Kick Back Jacks and had a few beers.  Then Saturday we went to two other jewelry stores to look at other rings.  Which was good for Lee to see the other options he had available to him.  And we also learned alot more that we didnt know before.  It was good for me because it gave me a better idea of what i liked and didnt like.  We saw some beautiful diamonds and it was crazy to actually hold one!  


Sunday was a sad day, for I had to return to Knoxville.  Of course I cried, I always do.  But once I got back I got caught up in unpacking, cleaning and school work that I was fine.  Monday and Tuesday of this week went by so SLOW but the rest of the week has went by really fast.  I have been super busy with some last minute end of the year projects and doing reading.  I probably should have done more over break - but my brain needed the break :)  

The other night I was talking to Lee and we were discussing our summer trip and he was trying to figure out his finances....I could tell he was stressing and crunching numbers, he would never give me details or tell me why.  But I have a feeling I know why....not to mention him mom emailed me and told me that her and his dad met him at the jewelry store to look at the rings :) So girls, Im pretty sure it is happening!  I do know that most places require a 20% down payment and then you can just make payments until you want to pick it up.  Im pretty sure that is what he would do....I have no clue when it is going to happen.  If I could guess I would suspect next year, just because I still have two more years of school in Knoxville and he has a stable job in Raleigh.  But gosh....part of me wishes I never knew he was considering it because IT IS ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT!!!


This weekend I will be hanging out in Knoxville by myself.  Which is totally fine with me...I have alot of school work to do and I need to start thinking about how I am going to move in the next few weeks.  And I also have a few errands to run.  Lee is coming next weekend for our annual barristers ball, I will be sure to take pictures for once :)


I miss you all so much.....if only we all could just move back to Raleigh once and for all!!!

3 days = Spring Break !!

Time certainly is flying !!  Which you will not fine me complaining !!  This week has been super busy for some odd reason.  I am so ready for Friday and a whole week off !!!  I will be leaving for Raleigh and I can NOT wait !!  I do not have any major plans, other than an interview on Tuesday for a summer internship.  Keep your fingers crossed!  Im just ready to be lazy, sleep in and of course I have to do some work.  Which stinks...but hey I am in law school.  Haha

I'll be sure to keep everyone posted and maybe I'll take some pictures over the next week or two and post them as well.
