My Year Review of 2008
January:
I was excited for 2008 to come and it was the start to planning on my London trip.New Years Eve, Ashley and I went dinner and that's when I asked her to come so we could see Backstreet Boys and Girls Aloud. Other wise January was quite boring.
February:
February, I started grad school at the U of Phoenix to get my masters in Elementary Education. I also went to see Spice Girls for the first time which was quite exciting because I completely and utterly love them. I got to see my best friend Lisa since I rarely get to see her.
March:
My brothers turned 21 this month and we went to Webster Hall for their birthday quite a boring month other wise. Nothing else really happened I don't believe.
April:
Absolutely NOTHING Happened during the month of April.
May:
Absolutely Positively the best month of 2008 by far. I went to my friend Amberly's wedding wth a friend of mine from work but that isn't what makes it the best. The best part is from May 14th - May 18th I was in LONDON. I absolutely love that city, it is gorgeous and I just fell in love with it like I never loved a city before. We arrived on the morning of the 14th and I headed straight to Stamford Bridge to tour the stadium which I absolutely loved and honestly I can not wait to tour it again. The night of the 14th I went to see Backstreet Boys (Seriously they were AMAZING) and the night of the 16th I got to see GIRLS ALOUD AND THE SATURDAYS. I didn't hear the saturdays all that well but I love them now. That had to be the best night because I am such a huge fan of Girls Aloud and was so happy to be there. We obviously did the normal tourism stuff while there. We rode the double decker bus, I went into Soccer Scene store and bought goodies. I had an amazing time and was so sad to leave.
June:
Another boring month where nothing at all happened.
July:
Really all i did was work and kept busy with school nothing too exciting if I do say so myself.
August:
August was a fun month I went to Puerto Rico with my family and my brothers girlfriend Gina. It was a nice Holiday away with the family and while Puerto Rico was my least favorite place I went I did enjoy myself and it really is a beautiful country. Well not that I saw the whole country but you know. We did spend 3 hours in the car one night lost quite a bloody funny time with the family.
September:
Sadly enough I turned 26 but I spent my birthday with my cousins and 3 of my best friends (Lisa, Marisa ad Gloria). It was Lisa's 21st birthday so we went to Bamboo Bar down in seaside and we got completely plastered while we were there and my friends and I did not get out of bed until 3pm because we were so hung over from the night before.
October:
Halloween night I saw Backstreet Boys and Donnie Klang in Montclair it was such a amazing and fun night and a lovely way to end the month of October. We dressed up at work and I was a Popstar since that was the costume my Boss picked out.
November:
Thanksgiving Happened but other wise that was it. My mother and I drove down to Virginia and back to pick up my grandmother and spent 17 hours or something crazy in the car.
December:
On the 13th I went to Jingle Ball in the city which was quite amazing. Well let me rephrase that Neyo, Leona Lewis, Jesse McCartney and Chris Brown were the amazing part of the night. As for as Christmas went my secret santa(s) gift was amazing. I got the Girls Aloud Style DVD and Calendar as well as Brain Age for DS from my very secret Secret santa. As my other gifts I got Money, a London Calendar, a Chelsea Pennent, Chelsea Jersey with Valenti on the back, and a coach wristlet. From "Santa" I got money, earrings, a Pink Nintendo DS, Fifa 09 and Mario Party. It was a very lovely holiday this year and I loved everything I got.New Years Eve, this year I spent at my friend Carolina's. I had a blast even though I almost killed myself leaving trying to walk drunk in hills and snow on the ground is not good for me.
Football:
I've been completely upset with my two favorite captains John Terry and Steven Gerrard. First off John Terry got a three match ban and he is completely amazing so it's sad to me when he does not play.
Steven Gerrard was arrested the other night and while I find something completely screwy with the whole story. I think he is innocent, if he punched the lad or did anything wouldn't he have some sort of bruise but Nope.
While my love for football started with Liverpool FC, my best friend has converted me to a Chelsea lover. I don't know if I will ever truly stop loving Liverpool because I do root for them if they aren't playing Chelsea. I do feel like if Chelsea isn't taking the Prem league then I would rather Liverpool over Chelsea even though I would much rather see Chelsea win. I love waking up on weekened mornings to watch football, it is the best part of the weekends.
My 2009 Plans:
1st Thing is that I will graduate grad school and hopefully student teach as of the fall.
