summer has begun!

Hi all! I just had to take a break to wrap up finals and get the summer started but I am back!

Graduation passed and since I have another semester, I decided not to go through the ceremony, although my name was in the program (which I found out later). Seeing my roommates and most of my friends go through graduation was a little saddening, only because it is another not so gentle reminder that I am growing up and will soon be moving on.

Since then, I have started summer classes, my internship and have been enjoying the weather. I am sort of in the early stages of training for a mini marathon and am already wondering how I am going to make it to 13.1! I have never been a great runner, but am slowly learning to love running and am getting better every day.

In other news, MGS, JLH, AJG and I went to Brad Paisley last night!!

I had, believe it or not, never been to a big country concert! Local artists play all the time and I adore going to those but the atmosphere at a big concert like BP was so fun! The only issue was the HEAT. We had to lug a cooler a mile in the stiffling heat and it was not fun. The Band Perry and last year's Idol winner Scotty Mcreery were also playing with Brad and they were all phenomenal! We are looking into Kenny Chesney/Tim McGraw in July but all I want to do is see Luke Bryan. He is my fav.  

 Wore my boots of course but you can't see them in this pic! They look like this:

 (I know you can't see them very well!)

I have no idea where these boots are from or what brand they are but I do know that they were my mother's! She got the pair when she was in MIDDLE SCHOOL. They have held up very well the past 35ish years! I started wearing them a few years ago and have put them through a lot myself. I am definitely in the market for a new pair, which I assume I'll get when I am in Dallas at some point. I really want my next pair to be dark so I can still wear these and have two options. I wear these boots with everything but can't wait to get a new pair that actually fit! My mom's are about a size too small and the heel is pretty high too so I'll be looking for a pair with a smaller heel. But I know I will get a ton of use out of them, seeing as I already have out of my current pair. 

Enough ranting for now!
