I am a SENIOR at Eastern Kentucky University studying Special Education. I work at Cracker Barrel as a hostess and in retail (sometimes). I am 22 years old and love going out for some drinks. I have my bad days and I have my good, my strengths and my weaknesses. Take me or leave me!
Through These Green Eyes
KENNY CHESNEY!
My music hero! I love everything about his music. The instrumental, the words, the voice. Always true to life in some way. Giving me hope at times even. I would die to meet him!
We found a stray and she had kittens next to our apartment. We have been feeding momma and keeping an eye on the kittens.
I WANT ONE SO BAD!
They are only maybe a few days old, eyes closed still. So stinkin’ cute. I want one when they are old enough.
I haven’t talked to him in forever, but John Blackburn. We used to just be chat friends. Never have we met except over skype on our mutual friend’s account. They went to high school together and we met that way. Always IM’d each other and talked about everything and anything. It was always good times. :)
Clearly I am playing catch up lol.
My first college boyfriend, we started dating in Feb. of my freshman year through Sept. of my sophomore year. We were long distance. I thought I loved him, but thinking about it now it would have never worked out. I gave 110% in our relationship, he only gave about 50%. I always traveled to see him every weekend, he came to see me twice. Other than paying for things, he pretty much took care of himself. He spent more time with his brothers, even though he lived with them, even when I came to visit him. While it was love then, I have found something much better now.
I have a lot of dreams I hope to accomplish before I go onto another life:
Graduate college and find a teaching job in a school where I can stay put for years. I want to teach in a small school like I grew up in.
Fall in love and get married: One of my biggest dreams. I want that love to last to the end, that love you see in movies, the people who have been married well over 60 years. I want to be comfortable in that marriage, having enough money to be happy.
Start a family and raise my children to be happy, healthy, honest, trustworthy, loving, caring people. I want to be the role model for them.
I want to finish the items on my bucket list!
Very excited for banquet tonight! It has been a wonderful year for Alpha Zeta Kappa chapter. Just look at the picture of our very first meeting of the school year, compared to now (at some ceremony). We have grown and changed so much! We are constantly improving in ourselves individually and as a chapter. Sometimes times get rough, but together we always make it through. I would not trade any of my memories with these wonderful people. I have met some of the best friends and my boyfriend through this chapter, and met some of the most amazing people with their unique life stories. Each of you has impacted me in some way over this year, and over my time as a brother. :)
Tyler- My (step)brother is only a year younger than me. We spent weekends together when he came to visit his dad. Always rode bikes around the apartment complex, roller blading in the basement, scooters in the alleyway, or playing with legos on the balcony… we always had great times together. While we may not be as close now as we used to, I still will always remember those times together.
Derek- Also my (step)brother. He is a senior in high school this year and it is hard to believe I can still remember celebrating his 5th birthday with him. I have watched him grow into a stunning young man and I wish nothing but the best for him when he heads off to college next year.
Jordan- My (step)sister. I love her. She is my sister, you know. Sometimes a brat, but always cute as a button. She is a freshman in high school this year and once again, it is hard to believe I was there to celebrate her 3rd birthday with her Teletubbies cake. I hope as we both grow older we can grow closer together as sisters.
Even if they are all my “step” siblings, they are my brothers and sister. Having the same blood or the same parents does not make a sibling. It’s the years spent together and memories made with each other. I love them!
This really hit me hard when I saw this. I have been going through a lot lately and I have not once had to face them alone. I always have someone there to push me through the tough times. With school wrapping up I’ve been busy, trying to balance friends and a relationship along with working and sleeping, not having any money ever, too many bill to count, planning a wedding, thinking about moving, and having a friend leaving in less than 2 months… need I say more. So many things going on and like I said, I have not been alone through any of my problems. I am grateful for this.

(I am trying to catch up on a few days, so here goes)
Mom- We have definitely never been as close as I would like, but she still means so much to me. She has her way of upsetting me, but her ways of being supportive no matter what, even at my worst. She has given me some of life’s best lessons and I have learned a lot from her like how to love, how to be organized, and the proper way a house should be cleaned. I just wish I could see her more than I do.
Dad- I love him! He is my hero. I remember writing a paper about him in high school about the things he has overcome. From being a young father who never left the bar (except for his night with me each week), to now, being the father every girl wishes for. He also has taught me many life lessons, like how to be easy going and how to act silly. I did get his temper, but I am better at hiding it than he is. He taught me how to ride my bike and once again, how to love.
Stepmom- She is an amazing woman. My dad is her third marriage and it quite clear that they have true love. She gave me a brother and sister, and even if they are “step” our love is no different. She was always my go-to person when I needed to talk about boys, it was always much easier with her. She is understanding and always treats me as if I were her own child. I love this woman!
Stepdad- He is also an amazing man. He has done so much for me, as he half raised me along side my mom. He was the one who calmed my mom down when she was upset with me. He gave me my love for Kentucky Wildcats. He always showed me his support as I grew up and I would not trade any memories with him and my mom. He will be by my side someday to walk me down the aisle, along with my dad.
They are all just as important to me as the other and I love each of them very much!
