Come On Baby....Let's Fall.

As I am sitting here on your bed with you, you're playing Halo Reach with your brother Jamie and I'm sitting here saying to myself what a goofy, nerdy boyfriend I have :P but you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way.

The other day, you told me you were listening to the radio about other girls and how they hated being called "pet" names...i however, love them :D I love being called beautiful, baby, pumpkin, and whosabooboo (inside joke lol) I'd rather be called those names than a degrading name that most guys use.

You and me, yea we're one of kind.

All it took for me was a few months, some late starry nights, a few movie dates, your family, and some music for me to realize our heartbeats were the same. I am head over heels in love.  I never thought that I would EVER find something so real, so special, so perfect.

People always say that every couple has there fights and disagreements, and I'm sure we will have them in the future, but for right I'm focusing on the relationship we have now without any fights or disagreements.

So as I lay here in your arms, I wish this moment to last forever but it will soon pass and I will have to go back to Longwood but for tonight, lets fall in love with each other all over again. <3

Forever and Always. <3

Life As I Know It.

It's been over a month since I've last blogged but only because i'm SOOOOO busy getting adjusted to college. My classes are going great, except for my math class, ugh. I am now attending BCM (Baptist Collegiate Ministries) weekly and writing for the Longwood newspaper, The Rotunda. I love it here, the people, the classes, the activities, everything.  Of course I have been able to manage to get myself home every weekend since I've been here but oh well, its for a good reason, Khris! :)

Khris and I are doing phenomenal! I couldn't have asked for a better boyfriend <3 The distance is manageable even though we skype every night and see each other every weekend.  With our busy schedules put together we hardly speak throughout the day but its at night when we get to skype that I cherish most.  We're going on 5 months now and I've never been happier.

Home is crappy, so let's not talk about that.

This weekend is Fall Break and I'm heading home to stay with Khris for the weekend! Becca's birthday is on monday so I'll be partying up her 19th year of life with her Monday night with all our friends!

Off to the infamous Dhall to get some grub before English.

Till next time,
Shelbs.

College! :)

I have officially been in school for 2 weeks now and I can honestly say that the feeling of "college" did not hit me until tonight.  Tonight I went to 2 different activities, BCM which is Baptist Collegiate Ministries and it was AWESOME! They had a "home-cooked" meal which was pleasant change from the routine meals at the Dining Hall.  After dinner, we all played games and got to talk and get to know each other. We then sat down for a 10 minute devotional followed by some awesome praise and worship songs.  Unfortunately, I had to leave about 15 minutes early to make it to my next activity of the night on time.  The Rotunda is the schools newspaper which is also affiliated with The Rotunda Show which is a live film show on campus and a Radio Show also conducted by students at Longwood.  At first, I was kind of skeptic about going because I was never involved with the newspaper at my high school or never did anything film related. To my surprise, the meeting was amazing; nothing like what I expected! They were extremely nice and understood that I wanted to get involved but not on a high level just yet.  Luckily, I was able to snag a low key story that's more of an interview type story...I get to interview the new staff members of The Rotunda! Its not much but everyone has to start somewhere.... right? :)  

So as of right now, I love college. I miss my family, my friends, and my boyfriend, yes, but this life of being on my own and doing my own thing, responsibly at that, is just what I imagined it would be.  Now I truly understand the meaning of making good friendships with the right people....I've made awesome friends here who are all involved in different clubs and organizations on campus and I've only benefited from it. 

Life is awesome. College is awesome. My friends are awesome. My boyfriend is awesome. MY GOD IS AWESOME.

This Feelings I'm Feeling Now.

The feelings I'm feeling right now have kind of taken me by surprise.  I honestly didn't see this coming, this "me and you," but I can tell you from the bottom of my heart, I am so happy that it came.  Being with you has brought so much into my life - wonderful things I didn't even know were missing.  Smiles that easily spill into laughter, conversations that go longer, deeper into the heart of things...into our hearts.  I'm still surprised by how you make me happier every day... amazed by the ways you make me feel.  And you know what?  Those are the kind of surprises I could get used to.

You're Always in My Heart.

Well, I know there's a reason

And I know there's a rhyme

We were meant to be together

And that's why

We can roll with the punches

We can stroll hand in hand

And when I say it's forever

You understand

That you're always in my heart

You're always on my mind

But when it all becomes too much

You're never far behind

And there's no one

That comes close to you

Could ever take your place

'Cause only you can love me this way

I could have turned a different corner

I could have gone another place

Then I'd of never had this feeling

That I feel today, yeah

And you're always in my heart

Always on my mind

When it all becomes too much

You're never far behind

And there's no one

That comes close to you

Could ever take your place

'Cause only you can love me this way

Ooh

And you're always in my heart

You're always on my mind

And when it all becomes too much

You're never far behind

And there's no one

That comes close to you

Could ever take your place

'Cause only you can love me this way

Ooh

Only you can love me this way

<3

Here's To You & Me.

For the first time in my life, I feel like I'm doing something right because when I look at him, it's there. In everything he does to me, it's there. I don't know what it is, but I know that it is there, & it's never going to leave. 


We've come this far and baby I wanna keep going. You are my ice cream on hot days. You are my hot chocolate on the snowy days. You are my blanket on starry nights. And you are the dawn of my mornings. I've never been this happy before in my entire life and boy, you got my friends saying, "She's never been like this before, look at how happy she is!" And I couldn't be more grateful that you are in my life. 


So here's to me and you baby, may we continue to be a blessing in each others lives and to keep the love flowing.  <3 


with all my heart. 
<3 Shelbs.
