My friend Tony

All I have to say is I am getting "leaner" in time for summer. Thanks to my new friend Tony (aka) p90x trainer! Yay me! He is a funny guy!

Last night was day 2 and oh silly Tony pushed me to my limits. And I had a fan club watch me do it. Embarrassing, but I want to have a lean tummy so I do what I must.
Wish me luck on these next few weeks of Tony kicking me into that swimsuit...Yikes!

Back to Some What Normal

I have worked sooooooooooooo much the past couple weeks! I have taken not nearly enough time to do homework and studying! Ouch!! But no worries I have it all taken care of now. I have time to make up my slaking.
Don't get me wrong though I have been having fun things happen too:) Of course Hunger Games was excellent!! Loved it! And I absolutely adore Peeta! I loved him since day one!!! Then of course just being with my Austin and family has been good, like always!
I don't have a lot to say tonight. Life is good. I'm thinking about classes to take next semester. Almost 11 months of bliss with Aust. Warm weather around the corner. Making some money. It's going grand:)
Love ya bloggers!! Have a great new week friends!

Insulting

First off bloggers remember that on Sunday my blog will be private. Please if you want to follow me leave your e mail don't be shy:)
Yesterday was a very interesting day. I saw many of my friends, talked to people that I haven't in awhile and had things happen to me that has never happened before.
I'm glad that I got to see one of my best friends and see a friend that I haven't talked to in FOREVER!! It was awesome:)
I would like to point out that on my blog that I have never directed a hurtful post towards someone. I never use people's names on here unless I am talking about a great time I have had with them. And hello I didn't even mention Austin's name till a few days ago. My point is I have never used the online world to do anything mean. If anything I have done the opposite, I wanted this blog and facebook to keep me connected to my friends, but it turned into me just watching a lot of them do things without me and plastering it everywhere I go online. It's extremely rude and disrespectful to anyone who has done that towards me or really anyone.
It's extremely disappointing that some have shown me a lot of disrespect. I have never been more insulted in my life. It's a horrible feeling when someone thinks better of themselves and they think they have a right to tell you off. Or when I get completely ignored by others.
I have almost been out of high school for a year and so many thing have changed in my life, but who I am has not changed. Yes I am older, I have a boyfriend, I'm a college student, I have a part time job, but I'm still Shandy.
I'm in love:) And now I'm an adult. I thought that I was going to have a lot of my my greatest friends part of my life, but some have chosen to move away from me and that makes me extremely sad, but if people are going to treat me like that, I don't need that in my life.
I need people that love me no matter what. Don't get angry at me for things they don't understand, or just all out don't care anymore. I'm done with that.That's ridiculous for me to be treated like that.
I have amazing people in my life. My family. Austin. His family. And believe it or not I have true friends.
Even though yesterday was a crazy ride of emotions, today I feel good that I'm blessed and happy:) I really got my feelings hurt but people that love me have really been there for me. Thank you to everyone who has been there for me:)

The Final Week

Before I go private I have a few things I have in mind to do this week. Not a lot but a few:)
The first one is to informally introduce you to my man Austin:)

Some facts about us:
The day he told me he liked me April 14th 2011
Our anniversary May 7 2011
He told me he loved me after 3 weeks
He loves playing sports
I'm almost 2 years older than him
We've almost been together for a year
I love him more than anything
He wants to become a firefighter
He is my best friend
He has beautiful brown eyes

Okay random facts I know but you get the idea. I love him. We are in love. It's great!
We are ready for an "adult" life together! I know we are young but we love each other and we both know we are supposed to be together.
So the "man" and "him" is finally reveled if you didn't already know:) I thought you all should know:)

I love you Austin:)

P.S if you would still like to be invited to my blog leave your email for me by the end of the week! Thanks:)

After Recent Events

After recent events I have decided to make my blog private.
Thanks to the advice and feedback from people that I personally look up to, I have made to decision that going private is the best thing for me.
I did not make this blog to be popular or compete, but to share my life with my friends and family.
That isn't what my blogging experience has turned into this time around.
So a week from today March 18 The Secret Life of Shands will be a private blog.
If you would like to join please leave your e-mail for me:)
Thanks to everyone who supports me in this and will continue to read my blog:)
Have a lovely day!

According to Plan

Celebration for my man's B day went great yesterday! He loved his presents and was so surprised that I attacked his car! He loves getting attention haha:)
He definitely wasn't expecting tickets to Foster The People!!! I like surprising him! Just getting to see him smile like that makes me feel so good:)
And I can't wait to see him even more surprised on Saturday!!! Poor guy thinks all his friends and family just kind of ignored his b day this year, but oh how wrong he is!!!!
The plan is going great! Spring Break next week, Hunger Games, Party and spring clothes shopping!!! Gosh I am counting down the hours till this day is OVER!!!
Sorry Thursday you're just not doing it for me.

Annoyed to Awaiting

I'm getting kind of annoyed that everyone is trying to compare their lives to one another. It's even more annoying that it's my friends are doing it.
The reason why I blog is so that people that care about me, who want to know whats going on in my life can know, and even any other bloggers want to follow and share that's what I want to. Lately I feel it's the opposite. I'm getting annoyed and excluded by my own friends. I wasn't even going to mention this on my blog, but I just had to say this small thing. I have a lot more I would like to share, but I won't. I have a great life. I go to an amazing school. I have a good steady job. I have an amazing man who loves me. I have family. I have a real life. What else do I need?
Alright so I"m moving on from that. Tomorrow is my man's B day!! Woo hoo!!!!! The big 18! I'm so excited for him! I think he is really going to like his presents. And believe me he is getting very spoiled. My mom and grandma even went all out for him! Wow! But like I've mentioned I really like all the things I got him...
Let's just say I may or may not be writing on his car while he's at school...We may or may not be going to see Foster The People in concert.... There may be a surprise party on Saturday...just maybe...hehe! I'll keep you guys posted!

We're Not In Kansas Anymore

I'm not in Kansas, but my family is. For a family wedding and what not.Yup I'm a party of one this whole weekend. Ok I'm not really alone of course. I've pretty much have been living at my second home so I can't complain.
This weekend has had it's ups and downs though...
#1 like many people across the valley I caught the dreadful stomach flew. Yuck throwing up is possibly the worse feeling in the entire world.
#2 Not being able to do all the things I wanted to this weekend
I was dying to go snowboarding with my friend Kayla! I was sooooooo excited, but honestly snowboarding takes a lot out of you so I was just so weak. I feel awful, in both a sickly way and because I had to leave Kayla hanging. If you read this Kayla I hope you're not mad. I'm so sorry.
So now my Saturday will be spent studying for my art final on Monday. Yay me.
But it is the weekend after all so I'm okay with that:)
