Everyday that I wake up I feel... blessed. Blessed for being given the gift of a great family, great friends, and a great future, and blessed to be alive. Reading the newspaper or watching the news has become a gut wrentching/eye-opening experience. Although I don't read the newspaper or watch the news as much as I should, I do know that just to be alive in this crazy, messed up, awesome world is a blessing in itself.
So, I'm sure you're probably thinking.. what does this have with the great news she's writing about?
Back up.... to the great friends blessing.
This past Friday-February 17th, 2012 our very dear friends: Will & Amanda were engaged.... and we were there to share in their happiness.
We were all sitting at dinner at Firebirds, a very nice restaurant (that one could wear jeans to, but only if you're a guy)..It was a very memorable moment. I won't spell out the whole scene as it was their own special moment, but to make a long story short.. Will asked her to marry him and guess what?

Introducing the Future Mr. & Mrs. William Brame
SHE SAID YES! :)
We celebrated the entire night, so much so I lost my voice the next day. So, Saturday while I sat at home I began to think about what a special moment that was for them. It made me think about how blessed I am to have such wonderful friends. Friends who would want us to be present for such a memorable event in their lives.
So, I know that if Amanda & Will read this they are going to be horrified at my sappy-ish post about them, but I just had to share my thoughts!
We wish them all the best in their engagement, marriage, and life. Also, I would like the thank them for letting us be a part of their big night.
Oh.. now, a picture of the ring.

What a weekend
This weekend was perfect. It was everything that a weekend is supposed to be: relaxing, delicious, productive, and creative. Friday began with homemade BBQ, coleslaw, and jalapeno hush puppies. It was absolutly delicious.
Here as picture.
Try not to drool.
This past week I submitted my application for Longwood University's CSDS graduate program. Hopefully in a few long years I will be Catherine Blaire Borum M.S. CCC-SLP. *Hopefully... keep your fingers crossed*. I had to get new plates for my car and they finally came in!
They say SLP-LU which stands for Speech-Language Pathology-Longwood University. Hopefully I'm not jynxing myself by getting these now.
*Note the freshly cleaned car. -Thanks, Jason!
Sunday was a productive and fun day. We went to Macado's in Farmville with Will and Amanda. Everytime we treck to Farmville with these two we always end up at Lowes. (I think Will and Jason have a SMALL addiction) Today we left with a qt. of red paint and some rollers.
This is what we came back to.....
And this is what it now looks like....
Hooray for productive weekends!

My apologies.... again.
Yes, I know. I have failed my blog.... again. *SIGH*
Here is a quick run through of some things that I have so sadly slacked upon sharing with my blog.
1. My 22nd Birthday
2. Thanksgiving
3. Lots of voice lessons
4. Miss Greater Springfield
5. Lots of Miss VA prelims attended
6. Much evening gown shopping and only 1 gown being purchased
7. Christmas
8. French 201 (ughhh)
9. GRADUATING from LU
10. Graduate school applications
11. GRE studying and test-taking
12. Beginning 2 grad classes
13. Working at Infant & Toddler Connection
........The list goes on.
I know I say this every single time I post a blog, but I will NOT slack off anymore. From now on I vow to post at least 2 posts a week in my blog.
...after I finish: school, work, tutoring, singing, voice lessons, and.....the gym? Hopefully the last one will get done, but no promises there.
See you again this week! :)
