 john boy..in billy's apartment...playing the guitar..

 John and Ari in the parkin lot at Barberitos... The gang at LoCo's....Jeff, Ariana, Madison (me), John, Ashley H., Chandler, Ashley P., and Mallory......yeet!

 Ari again at Barberitos.... (there's a glare on her face) Before we left today....hehe. My step dad...when i got home tonight from Athens...he was fixing the garbage disposal.. Haha. Such a cute/silly/funny face.... man! i love my baby! hehe. My mommy and my Ariana... how precious!

started CoLLeGe today {again}....wow. how fun. im so glad to be back in the "real world" ...among other people again. sounds like ive been kept in a cage, huh?!  naw..it's not that..it's just that last year...when i started college for the first time..i had just found out that i was pregnant....and i didnt really act like myself. i felt as if i couldnt...cause i knew i couldnt do the things other college students did...or were doing....so i dunno...i kinda kept my distance from people that i didnt know. i really only talked to the people i knew from high school..and even then...it was a select few....that wasnt like me. if you know me..you know that i like to mingle ...and get to know others...chit chat...get nosey...and find out whats goin on in other people's lives...and no..not to gossip about it..just to get to know them a little better..know where they've been and what they are about... got me?!

But yeah...so enough about me..cause i could go on and on....today i had to send my babi girl away to the babysitters..for the first time...it was sad. i was sad last night..when i had to pack all her stuff up. i felt as if i was telling her goodbye for the rest of our lives...is she gonna forget me? will she know who i am when i see her again?... aww...my lil Ari...          i havent been without her for 5 months now...i've been blessed to have gotten that much time with her. most mothers have to separate from there babies just 6 weeks after they are born....but i had 5 wonderful...exciting..memorable...months...of just ari and me...           ooo k. let me stop. or imma get sad.        but forreal...im gonna miss our times...our alone times...our sleepy times...our aggrevated/ grouchy times...our crying times....our smiley times...our cooing times...and our being together 24/7 times!!    :*(                          *** but anyways. just wish me luck!!   :)    ***

one more day (tomorrow)...and then 2 days in a row...momma watches Ari...yeet!!

nite all.

okay. so i like need to add some more pictures to this thing. i havent really felt like writing anything. i wanted to wait until there was something to even write about.

so hmm.friday. was a sad day. went to a funeral. a funeral for Ariana's lil cousin Jayden. It was soo ..oh soo sad. He was only 2 weeks and just as cute as he could be. i just cried. and cried. and then we went to Adrian's momma's house...(he was Adrian's nephew, of course)...to eat after the burial...for the "re-passing" or whatever they are called. but all that day...and all these past few days...all i can think about is lil Jayden. ;*(

saturday. i hung out with my gal Tiffany. Adrian had come over here while she was here...so we all pretty much just chilled. and then Tiff and I left to go get us a yummm yumm shaved ice...man it was good! hehe. i got cotton candy flavor..ahhh.....   :)               then we went to her house in Crawford Co...we were gonna get ready..and go to the club....Adrian was gonna watch Ari..but we ended up just sittin around and just watchin TV. we both didnt even feel like goin clubbin. but that was prob. a good thing...

sunday. hmm...chilled. took Ariana over to Adrian's momma's house to meet her great grandfather for the first time....he's really nice. (we took pictures with a regular camera. i'll have to upload them when i get them developed. it's amazing how Adrian looks just like him!!) He told Adrian he couldnt come to his new home unless he brought me and Ari along with him. But I was invited to go to his Estate ..(his house..hehe.)....and swim in his olympic sized swimming pool. but i dunno if imma go or not. but it would be nice, huh?

now...today...went up to MSC..to get a copy of my transcipt and try to buy some books...but they said i cant do that until Wed. so i have to wait. when i got home i went to the store to get somethings to make supper with. we cooked supper...and then hung out for a lil while. then we all went to Walmart to get somethings..and I got some school supplies..hehe. got Ari some Balmex..  :) and some baby food.

I guess I'll upload some pictures now...and Oh YEAH!        

Trav...I dont know if you read these things anymore..but i just wanted to let you know that I'm glad you made it back to the U.S. safely. I hope you had fun while you were gone. Glad when you'll be back at home....
