Walters/Cotlow Wedding

So this weekend was fun and relaxed. I had to work this Friday, so come 3:30 I was beat. Also, I think I did something to the top of my foot. I workout 3-4 times a week and I guess my foot doesn't like all the constant activity. I am making an appointment with my regular doctor to get a referral to a specialist. Saturday, Patrick worked until 3:30 and we had a wedding to go to at 7:30. That is when the church service started.... I don't think I have every went to a wedding that late in the evening. The bride is my boss' daughter and she is absolutely beautiful. They wedding consisted of italian dancing, wine, amazing food, and an aggie alum dance (Didn't know there was such a thing). It's always great to get people together from around the country for such a special occassion. Do I need to mention again that the wine was fantastic. Also...DRUM ROLL....Patrick caught the guarder...you know what that means??? He is going to be getting married next...I was blushing like no belief after my mom said Patrick just caught the guarder. My boss walked over to me and said, "Dear, it looks like you are next..." Maybe...Hopefully, I mean. I can't wait to plan a wedding and commit myself to Patrick. He is amazing. Sorry I didn't take any pictures...we were running late and we forgot the camera.

Sunday we just layed around until about 1 and then we went to a late lunch to On the Border..I love that place. Then we went to Linens N' Things since they are going out of business. I love kitchen gadgets so I stocked up on things I just wanted not necessarily needed...like yankee candles, wall art, a cutting board, and a super soft blanket for the couch.

So this week is just work Monday-Thursday and then off Friday-Sunday. Friday I am going (hopefully) to the doctor and early vote since it's the last day. Don't think I am going to do much this Halloween..maybe hang out with my peeps if they don't go to Austin...oh and watch tons of scarry movies:)

Much Love,

Amber

The start of the rest of my life....

So I have been debating for the last couple of months on if I should really make a blog and put my life out there for all the world to read about. Well I decided that there is not better time than now....So here I am. I am mostly doing this to keep a record of what I did, who I was, and where I went before marriage, children, and old age. I hope I can look back on these journal entries as a mini timeline of my life. How cool would it be to read a book of blogs I wrote at the age of 24 when I am 85...(Now that is what I call a reflection of life!!)

Professionally....I am working at a company I love. When I graduated from college, I thought I wanted a life in some kind of medical sales since I graduated with a Biology degree. After a couple of months of interviews that went no where, I got a phone call from my old boss who said that they had a huge project coming up and they wanted to know if I want a job. I said YES immediately. The company I work for deals mostly with oil, which has nothing to do with my degree, but I absolutely wouldn't want to work anywhere else. After a couple of months and a raise in pay, they decided to keep me on as a regular (not just a person that is doing a project).

Romantically...Patrick and I have been together for almost 3 years(It will be 3 years on Valentines Day). I just love him so much. He is always there when I need him even when he is pretending to listen to me just so I feel better when I'm not having that great of a day. He is my rock and that pretty much sums up who Patrick is. He is amazing and I am super grateful that I found that person to love me regardless of everything crazy life throws at you.

Socially...I just love my friends. They are the most amazing, supportive, and caring people I know. When I think about some of them...they have made me the person I am today. I have known Sierra and Tiffany since the age of 8. To this day, they are my best friends. When I get married, they will be standing right next to me. I have meet a lot of people that have became a staple in my life. Heather is one of those people. She first started out as a girl who was dating my best guy friend, but now she is my best friend. I am still best friends with the guy she dated briefly, but I see her more than I see him...(which we laugh about still to this day).

Wow this post turned out to be a semi-long one...okay hopefully I will keep this updated at least once a week if not more...

Stay Classy,
