First Crush

Okay, I know I already posted once today but I cannot help but share this with y'all. A video of my boy Kenny Chesney on Jimmy Fallon last night. For those of you that have known me for years know that Kenny was my first ever crush, since the first time I saw him in concert at age 12 I was in-love. Last year when I attend his concert at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, I was reassured that my love for this many is unwavering. haha There is just something about the sound of his voice that feels like home. I suppose it doesn't hurt that the man is drop-dead gorgeous either. Either way he will always have a place in my heart as my "First Crush"! 

"Well I am what I am, and I am what I'm not. But I'm sure happy with what I got; I live to love and laugh a lot and that's all I need." -Kenny Chesney

Sno-errr-Slush Day

Pbers was even disappointed with the yucky weather
and would not leave the porch

So upon waking up this morning I was bummed to discover what the weather channel had predicted being a foot of snow, turned out to be inches of slush. It made for a very white-knuckled drive to work at 4 a.m. Due to the treacherous road conditions I was late arriving to work, something I pride myself on never doing. But I was happy to discover that my "nanny-dad", was in no hurry to drive in the inclement weather himself. So we sat down at the kitchen bar to have a cup of coffee and watch the morning weather. As I attempted to regain feeling in my hands, which were in a death grip on steering-wheel only moments before, when I hear the news broadcaster announce that all River Falls Public Schools were closed for the day. Which meant, even though my nanny children go to a private Montessori in the area, that they too would not be having school. Thus, causing their dad to stay home from work with them so that I could attend my classes. But more importantly what I thought of at that minute, was that I had to get back in my car!! Ahh, I was less the thrilled to say the least. 


But I said my goodbyes and climbed back into my little Grand Am to brave the storm again. It took me nearly an hour to get home the roads were so horrible. I was convinced that the University would be closing campus for the day. Sadly, us college students had no such luck. My roommates and I were not excited at the thought of having to attend class in this weather. But by some weird chance, I decided to check my email before trudging off to my 9 a.m. class in the slush. I discovered I had two emails from my professors cancelling my classes! I was ecstatic to be having a sno-errr-slush day. I decided to treat myself by crawling back into bed and snuggling up with Pbers. I spent rest of my day catching up on homework and reading, a perfect way to spend a yucky weather day.

World's Wide Open

So this week has been one of crazy firsts and realizing how much I am growing up and how fast time truly does pass. I signed a lease to a one-bedroom apartment this week. It's crazy to think this will be my first time living all alone (well Pbers will be there too, of course). I also, enrolled in summer courses and discovered that being that I am planning on graduating in December, that this will be my last "official" summer as a student. Meaning that I have zero idea where I will be a year from now. Eeeks! Talk about scary business. 


I feel like these last 3 years of college have flown by. In what seems like a few short months I will be sending out job resumes and applying, for what I have dubbed "big girl" jobs and embarking on the next chapter of my life, leaving college behind. Causing me to think about my future and where I want to go. There are so many options. I told my mom on the phone earlier this week that I am having a life crisis trying to plan out my life after college. It is truly over whelming and at the same time a little exciting. 


This is where the Jason Aldean music video that I posted fits in. The song Wide Open popped up on my Pandora Radio the other day after talking to my mom. I could not help but connect to the lyrics. My favorite line is: "She's okay, not knowing. She's young and the world's wide open." This line made me think, "YES!" I do not need to know right now where I am going after college. The world is huge and filled with infinite possibilities. I do not need to limit myself. I can go anywhere or do anything. After all the World's Wide Open!

For those of you that are new to my blog, thanks for checking it out. Welcome Aboard, Y'all!
