"My Truck is Gone"

           Since I have been on Christmas break, I have been staying at Cole's parents' house so that Cole and I can spend as much time as possible together while we are in the same town. Our routine is staying up as late as possible to spend time together, go to bed, Cole wakes me up when he leaves for work to tell me bye, and I sleep until I wake up...(I am attempting to catch up on all the sleep I lost last semester) 

          Monday morning I was woken up to Cole grumbling to me "My truck is gone" first thing in the morning instead of waking up to Cole saying goodbye and giving me my normal sweet kiss. It took a second to register, but when it finally clicked, I was hoping out of bed and walking into Cole's upsetting reality. While we were sleeping someone stole Cole's truck from right in front of his parents house, and all sorts of terrible scenarios and questions were running through our heads...Would the cops ever find the truck? The truck is probably scrapped, or parted out. If the truck was found, would it be fixable?  How long will it be before we hear anything? Is the truck wrecked somewhere? Is the asshole who stole it gonna be caught? Is something else going to be stolen? The day was filled with stress, worry and anger. The day literally felt like weeks, it dragged on and on and on. 

          That night while we were sleeping the dogs went ballistic  I woke up to them barking and I honestly thought, holy crap something else is getting stolen...but that wasn't the case at all! A cop actually was at the door at 3:30 am to inform us that the truck was found, that it was undriveable and that they needed to know weather Cole wanted them to process the truck, and have CSI dust for prints. Cole of course wanted it processed, and the truck is still being processed by the police. We are hoping that they can catch the rotten person who took it. 

The Holiday Season...

     I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year...I know Cole and I did!

Merry Christmas 2012! 

        Cole and I are always insanely busy during December, and this year was no different...if anything we were busier than normal. I got home from school a week before Christmas and we have been on the go since between spending time with family, meeting up with friends, celebrating the holidays, and finding time to workout!
       The weekend before Christmas Glenn (my brother) and Grammy made their way down from Pittsburgh to spend the week celebrating the holidays with my parents, Cole and I. Through the week we went bowling, saw The Hobbit, and went out on the town! We also spent a lot of time with Cole's family through the week.
        We also made time to go out on a double date with Sam and Deidre to a new restaurant none of us had tried yet and saw This is 40. 
       Christmas eve we made christmas cookies with Deidre like we always do, it is one of the Christmas traditions I will always continue! Actual Christmas day was madhouse crazy, we woke up and spent the morning opening gifts with Cole's family and enjoyed cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Then we rode over to my parents house, filled up on our traditional christmas breakfast, and opened gifts and snacked on the GIANT Whitman's sampler that Santa always leaves for the whole family on the coffee table.  Next stop was Winnsboro to eat christmas lunch/dinner and open gifts with Grandmommy, Grandma Janie and the rest of Cole's family and to end the night we went back to my parents house for dinner and went out to see The Hobbit with my brother and our close family friend Ashley!

Color Me Rad 5k

        Since I'm a slacker, this post is 2 months old....

In October Cole, Deidre, my friend Karrah and I all participated in the Color Me Rad 5k in Columbia

We had a weekend full of fun.

Friday night we had a big group dinner at Cole's house, before we all crashed for the big race Saturday Morning. 

Saturday Morning we all rolled out of bed and rushed downtown to start our run,

not exactly sure what to expect. 

But man was it an awesome experience,
I definitely would do it again, and I plan to do it again next year!

My shoes are still tinted purple from the run! 

After the run we literally rushed home so we could all shower, 

then we were back out and about...

We ended up going to the South Carolina State Fair! 

Whats better than running a 5k, then loading up on fattening fair food! 

And we ended the perfect day with what other than a bonfire! 

Oh and this was the weekend I gave my dad Clemson!
