So one of my wonderful best friends Sue has been doing a blog entitled "Ten on Tuesday" which discusses Ten eventful or superb things that have occurred in the last weeks time. I decided to join in the fun- however figured I would change it to Saturdays.
1. I have decided to start blogging again this week as I haven't added an entry since 2007. I am very hopeful I can follow through on it.
2. It was my wonderful fiance's birthday this past week- Happy Birthday Anthony!
3. Today I am attending my soon to be sister-in-laws first Passion Party hosting. We discovered Passion Parties at a bridal show we went to and I thought it would be fun to host. We held the part a few months ago and had a good time. Such a good time in fact she decided to become a consultant. Today will be the first party where she is running the show.
4. After the party, with a few friends Anthony and I are heading to AC for his birthday for some gambling- lets hope we win big (referring to the debt discussed in last entry)
5. I got a text this afternoon that one my wonderful best friends discussed above was admitted to the hospital again with some disease complications. I will continue to hope and pray for a speedy recovery.
6. Per the knot, I get married in 434 days. woohoo!
7. I spent a good portion of my Saturday afternoon watching the Pirates of the Caribbean triology- got to love me some Jack Sparrow!
8. I ordered the final piece to my beautiful new bedding set that Anthony's stepfather bought us as an engagement gift offline last week. And it came in the mail today! yay
okay so I made it to 8. I am having writers block on the final 2. But I will do better next week. I am going to close out todays blog with some much needed advice- I am looking to get a part time second job during the holiday season to hopefully assist with the whole debt situation (Anthony and I hope to have our names mostly cleared by the wedding which is a very hard thing to do). Any recommendations on the best places to apply?

I'm Back
It has been since 2007 since I have written so I am not sure if anyone is even following me anymore. But I feel lately that blogging could do me some good so I am back. Ever have those days, weeks, or months where you feel so much anxiety and uncertainty that you don't know anything else to do but write? Well that is where I am. With all of the happiness that I should be feeling I do not know why I feel this way. But I seem to be bringing out the negative aspects of my life lately. For example, I am getting married in October 2011 which should be an exciting part of my life, right? Well instead of feeling the excitement, I keep thinking of the struggles. Struggles with our family dynamics, finances and the overall stressors that come along with wedding planning and moving forward. The finances being the biggest part. I think we can all agree that being in enormous forms of debt is never a good feeling. And although how hard we work, it feels we can never get out. I need to get out of this dark zone and get back to feelin like me. So like I said, I have high hopes that some additionally blogging will help get me back to me.

Been a while
Hey there ladies,
Sorry it's been so long since I've blogged. I haven't had much to really write or have the time to really write a lengthy email. Things here are good.. I'm a 1/3 through my semester so that is awesome. I've already written like 6 papers and I have a few due each week so I'm busy doing that amongst everything else. My last day at the Xmas tree shop was last tuesday. Although I kinda miss it because of the people, it was a good decision. I think I might pick up some shifts and go back around the christmas season, but it just wasn't worth it right now. Things as a social work assistant are going really good. It's nice to feel like I really know what I wanna do... finally! I love workin in the rehab/nursing home. I like doing assessments and working on discharge planning. I actually enjoy it and my supervisor seems to think I'm doing awesome which makes it even better. Things with Ant are great.. we've been goin out with my friends every weekend dancing at one of my fav. bars in pt. pleasant and its been a lot of fun. It's nice to be with someone who gets along with my friends and likes to do stuff. He really makes me happy guys.. I can't wait for you to meet him. Anyway, I hope u are all well. I miss you all like crazy.
Love!!! me.

Just Another Monday
Hey there,
It’s been a while so I figured it was time for an entry. Nothing extremely exciting happened last week. I had a good week at work and got my first paycheck! It made me feel like I was interning, but finally getting appreciated for all of my hard work. School was good as well, I am going to have a lot of work to do, but I think I am going to enjoy the program a lot so I’m excited to dig into everything. I have some good ideas for my projects and have clients I want to use for my assessment so it will be interesting. All is good at home and with Ant. Ant, Jaim and myself went out to dinner Saturday night to the Olive Garden and had a good time. Other than that my weekend was pretty uneventful as well. I guess I have nothing to really update on, but I hope all is well with you guys and that you find time to update soon! *Nik*

Birthday
Hey everyone!
Happy Birthday to me! yay! I talked to/got messages/got cards from most of you, so thank you for that! With our busy schedules it means a lot to me that you remembered. I have been excited all week for my birthday and I'm happy to say I overall had a good weekend. Yesterday Ant and I went to Lindsay's wedding. Actually we went to the reception. The wedding was in Newark and we took a wrong turn and got so lost that we didn't even make it to the wedding. Therefore, we went to the reception. She looked beautiful. I am very happy for her and I wish her the best. It was nice to be able to see her and wish her well. Afterwards, Me, Ant and a bunch of my friends went out to this shore bar and went dancing. It was a lot of fun, I had a good time. Today we pretty much just hung around and relaxed, which is what I really wanted to do. Ant surprised me with a nice card and a cake so we made a nice dinner and ate cake while watching the VMAs. He really is the best boyfriend I could ask for and I had a nice birthday. Now back to reality and heading to bed early to get sleep for work at the nursing home tomorrow.

Quick Post
Hey everybody!
Sorry for the lack of posting in a week. This first week back to school has been crazy and busy. So I have like 2 minutes before I have to leave for class so I figured I'd type up a quick entry. I've been to 3 out of my 5 classes, going to the last 2 today. And they all seem pretty cool. The work isn't too bad and the professors seem really cool. So so far, I'm excited! I interned Wednesday and Thursday and am doing really well I think. I picked up the assessments really fast and I'm already doing things on my own so I think that is a good sign. I think my boss is pleased, atleast I hope! This is the first moment that I am realizing that my past internships have paid off by providing me with experience in the field and I feel like it is coming to me a little easier. Anyway, things are okay here. I am excited for the weekend and for my birthday! I have Lindsay's wedding to attend Saturday and I am going to a shore bar with my boy and the girls Saturday night so that should be fun. Oh and Sue, thank you for the bday card! I love it.. u know how I am about cards! I'll hopefully get to write a more exciting entry this weekend filling u all in on what goes on. Hope all is well! post more entries ladies!!

Another Day
Hey there...
It's been a few days since I have written so I figured it was time for a new entry. Ant got all of the paperwork figured out for his new car yesterday and it is finally on the road! yay.. we were both excited to have all the car nonsense finally figured out. So we decided to take a lil road trip to see how the car runs and took a ride up to the Garden State Plaza to visit his sister at work. It was nice.. I did not feel like sitting inside doing nothing, especially since I have off until school starts Tuesday so I have nothing to do really. We walked around the mall after we saw her and ate some pizza for dinner. All and all it was a good night. Other than that, I worked wednesday and thursday at CareOne which went fine. It is interesting how I'm not nearly as nervous as I have been at my past internships. I guess I am finally gettin some experience in the field and learning some stuff. Well I'm gonna go back to watchin my exciting episode of law and order and figure out what we are gonna make for dinner. Hope all is good with u ladies and gettin ready to start the new jobs!
