looking forward

Not much has been going on around here lately. I've been swamped with school. I have two exams this week and two next week, so I'm just super duper excited to study for those! Kill me now. But there are a few things I'm looking forward to!

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. As you probably already know, I love Valentine's Day. Handsome already got (and opened) the package I sent him because we're both to impatient to wait. It's probably my fault for sending it a whole week early. But he loved it, so that's good. He got me (I opened mine early too) a bunch of chocolate, homemade brownies (yes, he made me browines....sweet, right?) and he wrote in the journal that we send back and forth. Anyway, my roommates and I are going out to dinner tomorrow (and I get to eat lots of dairy and garlic bread since its a holiday yolo) and then we're going to come back and watch a bunch of cheesy romantic comedies, eat chocolate, and drink wine. Because we can.

I'm bought my plane ticket. I get to go see Handsome over my spring break. Only for a couple of days though. It's going to be the shortest amount of time we've spent together so far, so it's going to be hard to leave I'm sure. But, it'll cut the waiting in half. It'll have been two months since I'd seen him last, and then we'll only have to wait two months until I get to spend the whole summer with him. And I can't wait for that.

I've been playing around with some designing and photography some more. I really love it! If you're interested in a design, you can see my design site here. I keep learning more and more about both design and photography and it's really becoming a passion!

 I might be able to graduate in December. I'm supposed to graduate next May, but if I can save up and take an extra class this summer, I might be able to graduate another semester early! The though of graduating this year excites me so much! I'm going to try really hard to start saving and get everything figured out!

What're you looking forward to?

50 states scrapbook

I love to scrapbook. I'm working on one right now starting with my trip to Germany that my handsome man and I will continue to fill with all of our exciting adventures to come! I'll share what we have done as soon as he comes home (he wants to help me with it- isn't that cute!?) Anyway. The app we use, Couple (which you can read about in this post) has a "to-do" list that both you and your partner can add to. So needless to say, we have a running list. It's not too long, but here's some of what we've got:

 So about #2 - Visit all 50 states.

 I decided it would be fun to make a scrapbook with one page per state that we could fill in as we visit each place! So I found a printable of each state here and cut each and every state out (which was a pain in the ass!)

Cutting out Maryland...really?!

So I just put the state outline and the name of the state on each page of the book!

Then, as we visit each state, I'm going to put a star on the map where we go, and add one picture from our trip! 

Arizona is the only state we've been to together haha!

I can't wait to fill up the book and share the adventures with you all!
