• 3/8/11 - I know it's been a while since I've updated. Blame the violence of MTSU. You can also blame midterms. Anyway, I am back and I promise to be loyal. Ryan is currently in Seattle. He's been gone a few days now and I miss him so much. When we're gone like this it really puts in perspective for me just how much he means to me and how much I need him. In church last Sunday we looked at 1 Corinthians 13. I started reading everything that love is supposed to be and I realized that a lot of times I don't honor my love to Ryan the way I should. I really want to make a change and show Ryan how much I love him in the way I'm supposed to.
• 2/21/11 - Today I'm spending a lot of time admiring my boyfriend. He is such a tremendously hard worker. When he has something to do, he tackles it and he never fails to give it the best effort he has to offer. Th...

There are many many reasons why my love for Ryan is so strong. I can almost promise that I will constantly be adding to this list throughout our life together. EXCITEMENT!

• He loves me. More than anyone.
• He looks at me like he's never seen anyone more beautiful.
• He calls me every night before he goes to sleep so I can be the last thought in his mind.
• He lets me cry- I've never had anything like that.
• I'm comfortable enough to cry in front of him.
• He wears his heart on his sleeve.
• He is sensitive.
• He is incredibly talented.
• His voice makes me feel safe.
• I miss him any time he's away, even if it's only for a moment.

• I enjoy a little Usher from time to time.
• I also enjoy being "that room" that keeps everyone else in the dorm building awake at 2am with my obnoxious music.
• I think my boyfriend is hands down the most attractive male on this planet. No doubts here.
• I express all of my emotion in my journal. Sometimes better than I can express them to any person. I'm working on changing that.
• I never get tired of Taco Bell.
• I'm addicted to coffee. I wish I wasn't... Ok, I'm totally fine with it.
• I CAN'T WAIT to be married and to live in Nashville.
• If Nashville didn't exist, I'd want to live in Seattle.
• I will always love everything that Maroon 5 puts out. Even if I fight it.

My whole life I've never been "that girl" that fantasizes about her wedding or her future babies' names. That is... until I started dating Ryan. Funny how one person can change your outlook on things, right? By the way, all of these names will be ending with Kenney. Looks like I'm "that girl" now. Know something? I couldn't be happier about it.

Little Girls' Names:

• Kaylene Anne Kenney
• Lorelai Elizabeth Kenney

Little Boys' Names:

• Thad Vincent Kenney
• Everett Ryan Kenney

From my experience, the following movies are basically ESSENTIAL for the mending of a broken heart or tattered soul. Pair these babies up with a cup of coffee and/or a bowl of extra buttery popcorn with peanut m&m's and you're on the road to recovery!

• Gilmore Girls (not a movie, but MOST essential)
• The Holiday
• The Family Stone
• Jane Austen Book Club
• Because I Said So
• Dan In Real Life
• Definitely, Maybe
• Under The Tuscan Sun
• Something's Gotta Give
• Never Been Kissed
• How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days
• Urban Cowboy
• Terms Of Endearment

Lately all I've done is fantasize about my future and everything that it holds. Here are a few of my goals and dreams for the future.

• I just changed my major to journalism!! - This is the second time I've changed my major and about the 900th time I've changed my mind. This time I think it's going to stick, though. I've always tried to pick a major or a dream that was convenient. Finally I've picked something I actually want to do- something I can be excited about. And even though this isn't as concrete and secure, I can't shake this feeling of confidence.
• I can't wait to marry Ryan Vincent Kenney. - There is no doubt in my mind that Ryan is the one for me. God has continued to confirm this fact constantly throughout Ryan's and my relationship. I'm sure I will list about that later.
• I WANT TO BE DONE WITH SCHOOL. - I don't know what possessed me to think...

I've always wanted to travel. I"m sure that over time I will add to this list. I'll bold the places that I make it to. This will be a modern version of the map with tacks stuck in it. ;)

• New York
• Chicago
• Los Angeles
• Seattle
• Tuscany
• Paris
• ALL of Ireland
• ANYWHERE in Germany
• Venice
• Israel
