Adios, beautiful San Diego!

I have decided... I will NEVER be a Bridezilla.

.EVER.

Goodness gracious those women make me want to grab their bouquets and shove them down their throats! GAH! Anyways, haha... today is my last day at home! CRAZY! I never thought I'd say that! God is so faithful though, and knows exactly where He wants me, at exactly the perfect times. This last semester  has been His time to work on my heart, and to truly show me to be completely satisfied in Him alone. He also taught me patience, and contentment, as I was rather miserable these last few months. But you know what?? Although it was a rough patch of time... I would not ever in a million years take back any of the priceless time I had to spend with my family, or the amazing memories I made while at home. I really never realized how amazing my family is, until just recently. And I absolutely love that I have realized it. It does however make it much harder to leave them tomorrow. I am so excited to move back to CBU, and to be with my roomies and best friends, but it will sure be hard to leave my family. Ya know, it's weird to know that tonight is the last night i will sleep in my own bed, come home from school to my parents yelling at the tv while watching a football game, eat yummy homemade meals, go on frozen yogurt dates with my brother, or even wake up to my daddy singing Bohemian Rhapsody at the top of His lungs :) haha. 

I love how the Lord has opened my eyes to see the little things that truly make my life spectacular :)

I best head to sleep now, since I'll be waking up a bit early tomorrow morning to get a good start on the big day! :) I'm all finished packing... (i think) (ha ha) so tomorrow should be nice and smooth :) My mama is making a tasty breakfast tomorrow, so I'm extremely looking forward to that! 

Big hug(s) tomorrow?? I think so :) Can't wait! <3

UP 7, get ready... Chelsea Marie's a'comin! 

San Diego, I'll miss your beautiful weather and ocean... but don't worry, I won't be gone too long ;)

Over and out!

The blue moon wasn't blue at all.

"How Could someone so beautiful feel something for me??"

I haven't blogged in what seems like forever! But that's alright, I've ben doing other things with my time :) Things such as:

Talking with co-workers in my car for three hours after a staff party

Surprising someone in Ontario

Making a bear for a boy who makes me smile

Killing myself by working at the mall the week before christmas

Declaring myself officially dead after working the day after Christmas

Meeting the families :)

Scrubs, gift cards, lingerie (weird family), and photoshoots 

A wonderful Christmas both with my family and with an amazing someone who thought it would be fun to surprise me :)

Taking a messy spill *literally* at a mall with wet marble stairs, and a jamba juice in hand.

Gang fights (being locked in a store in the mall for 10 minutes) (no thanks) (scary).

Cotton Company (new favorite store ever)

Boots

Plenty of Bear Building, but not quite enough stuffing to go inside. (That's right... the day that Build A Bear ran out of stuffing) (unstuffing every animal in the store was SO not my favorite.)

Best friend time at Wal Mart and Denny's

Starbucks / Target/ Suzies Deals / Styles / Costco Pizza / Mall / Dos Lagos / Big Christmas Tree / Olive Garden / Big Lots / UP 7... date with mama (JuJu) and her son (Jacob) :)

A major heart change... back to Teaching... no more nursing for Chelsea Marie.. Thanks for sharing that with me, Lord :)

A hilarious and amazing re-arranging party with Juj and Jacob in UP 7 HAHAHAH :)

Talking for forever in the TGI Fridays parking lot :)

Olive Garden/ Dos Lagos photoshoots

So much fun with my baby cousins at my Grammies house :)

 Baking a crazy concoction called "cookie brownies" for his family

Grazzianos / Ticket-Giver-Outer game :) (yay for winning bracelets!)

Late night Krispy Kreme run :) (THE SIGN WAS EVEN ON!!!) :)

Organizing, cleaning, and laughing so hard it hurt... all while wearing mickey mouse birthday ears, rainbow smiley pj's, and huge shoes :) AMAZING.

Lowe's.

Best friends <3

Last day of work at Build A Bear :/ :/ :/ :/

... and the packing begins.

A new year, I like to call 2010.

EVERYONE IS A FREAKING COUPLE NOW.

... then enters today. Hello :) Nothing exciting has happened... yet ;)

I would like to say that I am going to make a new years resolution to blog more often... but i get so distracted sometimes! haha :) But hey, there are some people that actually read this, so I should probably keep it updated!

I move back to CBU on sunday!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH! ... I just have to keep telling myself that, because this whole packing thing is driving me insane! Speaking of packing, i should probably get back to it... pooo... :(

But leave remembering this...

Happy January 1st, 2010!

Chelsea Marie, over and out!
