Wow, I'm 22!

Oh my! Can't believe I'm 22! This birthday was so different from the many others that I've had with my family in California. My best friend/roomie Sammi was in PA visiting her boyfriend and most of my other friends were busy (sad day!). AND I had to work. I was determined NOT to have a "bad" birthday even though it was looking kind of bleak. After work, I took a nap then got up and ate spaghettios (great meal huh?). I showered and put on my birthday outfit (new from Forever 21!). I met my boyfriend and friends Briahna and Leila for dinner. It was awesome! We came back to my apt for cake and fun. We had lots of laughs :) Then, Stephen and I watched Pan's Labyrinth, which he had never seen. I HIGHLY recommend it! Overall, the day was a lot more low key than I had originally wanted, but I enjoyed it fully! Can't wait til next year's birthday :)

It's Almost My Birthday!!!!!

Eeeeeeek! I'll be 22 in less than 3 hours! Holla! When I think about this past year, I have changed so much, but only in the most positive ways. I'm so glad that I have amazing family and friends around me :) I already can't wait for my 23rd ;)

My Silly Wonderful Boy :)

Stephen, I appreciate and love you more than you could ever know! :) Thanks for being so wonderful!

Exciting News Concerning School

So guys...I am no longer a journalism minor student. But I'm not bummed about it even though it was part of my original college plan to have that as my minor. During the years that I took online classes with Regent, I took all of my Gen Ed courses and some of my English major courses. Because my English cognate (focus) is multimedia communication, I had been taking many communication classes in conjunction with my other classes. I enjoyed the comm classes so much that I started taking more to fill in the empty elective spots. I waited to take journalism courses until I moved on campus, but it didn't work out to take them right away. After thinking and praying a while about the situation, I decided to drop my journalism minor and pick up a minor in communication. And it just so happened that my academic adviser called me the morning before I wanted to go in to talk with her. How awesome is God?! :) My senior year at Regent will now be filled with a few more English and comm courses and my electives. So now, my new official college title is Juana Lopez, English major with a Multimedia Communication cognate and a Communication Studies Minor. Wow, that's a mouthful!

Beach Day!

My pretty beach nails

Love the feeling of my toes in the sand

The perfect view

Other beach goers

Gettin' a tan!

My temp tat :D

I've been wanting to have a beach day for myself for a while now. I decided to take the shuttle and got up real early to go. And let me tell you, it was hot! Even at 8 in the morning. I took my towel, book (The Help), and a few magazines. I was ready to lay on the sand and stick my toes in the cool water. It was such an amazing time. Th sun started blazing real quick, so when I got too hot, I would run to the water and splash around :) And I saw dolphins!!!! It was so awesome! I flipped out. I enjoyed reading my book then closing my eyes to enjoy rest. The ocean/beach is one of my favorites of God's awesome creation! Being at the beach allowed me to recognize even further how loving and great our God is :)

Dress Shopping!!!!!

Not sure hoooooow we ended up in the pretty dress store, but it happened :) And we enjoyed ourselves so. I would definitely wear a dress like this as my wedding dress. And who knows...maybe my bridesmaid's dresses will be short and cute like the one Sammi is wearing. We also bought smelly (of the good kind) perfume and ate Mickey D's. It was such a fun girl's day! Woooohoooo! Happy June 13th folks!

And So My Summer Begins

The start of my summer :) 1. Me and my boy 2. Me and my girl 3. My wreck journal GO!!!!
