Life Right Now

Lately, life has been picking up speed but at the same time slowing down. It's so weird how fast time flies by in the blink of an eye.
 I've been trying to find that lovely balance between family, friends, boyfriend, work, school, and daily troubles that happen in life. It's a hard but yet wonderful balancing act. 

As of right now in my busy life I've found more time to crochet, which is so lovely. When school picks up speed I have less and less time to crochet, which is a horrible feeling to see your boxes of yarn and jar full of crocheting needles just sitting there day after day. But thankfully school has been slowing down a little and about to start back up after the Thanksgiving holiday. Which will be full of chapter exams, final projects, and two final exams.

So this post will be filled with crocheted projects I've been lucky enough to finish in the pass few weeks. :)

Billy the Kid in the making.

Meet Billy the Kid.
He's a hippo just wanting someone to love him.

This is what happens when I drink coffee to stay awake at work.
I end up staying awake until 3 in the morning crocheting this beauty.

R2D2 Coffee cozy.

My little brother (who isn't so little anymore) wanted a white one with red eyes.
And this is what you get... a scary but awesome looking animal.

Crocheting and Beer :) my kind of night.
I know I'm just way to crazy.

R2D2 again.. I just love him so much!

I hope everyone has a lovely holiday!
May it be full of happiness and please be careful! :)

21st Birthday Party and Weekend

Chalrie and I at Big Ed's Pizza

First Drink of the night :)
I had two :)
I had a two big exams the day after my birthday starting at 9:30am, so drinking it up on my birthday wouldn't have been a good idea. 

A view of my party, aka all my family members and all my close friends.

The next day on Nov. 8th. It was my good friend Brooke's 21st Birthday. We celebrated with her parents and brother :)

On Friday Charlie, Brooke, and I walked around downtown Knoxville had local food and sweets. 

That night around 9:30 or 10 I forget. We went behind the strip to The Carousal II, which is a drag show. It was amazing!!

The drinks of the night. Charlie, Brooke and I the only ones able to "drink" that night. The two that couldn't drink had water :)

Hal and I

Charlie really into his story

Miss Brooke and Miss Caitlyn

Brooke, Caitlyn, and I

The whole night was amazing! I enjoyed every minute spent with my girls, brother, and Charlie :)
I feel as though the older I get the less it seems like I should be the age I am. I still feel too young, but old at the same time. Weird, I know.

So much

I've had so much happen within a small amount of time. Right now I'm updating before my 9:30am class. My family always has a super busy November. At the start of the month it's like a huge ball rolling down hill. My parents celebrated 23 years married. My baby brother turned 14! Still can't believe it! I turned 21! And my best friend turned 21 the day after me.

So much has happened and it still feels like time hasn't passed at all. It doesn't feel like it should be November. Let alone that I'm 21 and next week is Thanksgiving.

We surprised my little brother telling him I had to work, but I picked up everyone and we all waited at BattleField of Knoxville(which is like laser tag but the guns are heavier and there isn't black lights everywhere). He had a blast! We all did!

Then for my birthday we all went out to a Mexican restaurant, which normally I would say where but being I got really sick of the food that night and two days following I will not. :/
Being that my birthday was in the middle of the week and I had two exams the very next day I didn't drink more than two drinks.
So that weekend my friends and younger brother (Hal) and my boyfriend went to a club. But not just any club a Drag Queen club :)
It was amazing! The only thing that sucked about the whole night is me unable to record my boyfriend being invited up on stage by a Queen and having a dance off with two other people! The Drag Queen loved his moves so much she started to dancing with Charlie (my boyfriend!!!) It was an amazing night filled with love and understanding of others! I really enjoyed it and we will all be going back for Caitlyn's 21st birthday for sure! I'll post pictures later!
