Lifehouse "Everything" video- It's a must watch! I get chills everytime...It just makes you think about your life and what troubles you may have gotten yourself into. No matter what you'll always have love...b/c you'll always have God [he's watching even when you don't think anyone cares] You're never alone! You're never without love!

I guess I always love the little reminders and pick-me-ups that I stumble across... PLEASE WATCH!!!!
You will not regret it! I promise :D
Love Always and Forever/ Peace and Love,
Yours Truly,

TGIF :)
IT'S FINALLY FRIDAY!!!!! I've gotten SSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOO much accomplished this week!!! I kicked it off right with a great vday date and [switching my ring from one hand to the other ;)].
I followed it by rocking my sociology and applied psych test. I had the great honor of getting an e-mail from my sociology professor asking to use my essays as a departmental example. ---> our last test was a short answer and essay test and I got a perfect score on both of my essays. Granted I did not get a perfect score on my test, I was the only one in the class to get a perfect score on my essays (as my professor congratulated me in the e-mail). Naturally I am an anonymous example...it's still makes me feel great even if I am the only one that knows!
What killed me was when I told Lijah he through back at me that that happened to him once in the history department...damn him and his trying to one up me :( anyways....
I also got an A on my Applied Test and I turned in my 4 page paper that was pretty good if I do say so myself.
I also did awesome on my class presentation for Writing and Research today :)
Finally, after classes today I got back today, instead of going straight into celebrating my Friday, I finished 3 abstract papers over some of the conferences that I went to during Darwin week...they are worth 15 e.c. points!!!! totally loving a rocking my classes...I thought that 18 credits would kill me...but I am more than surviving...I'm thriving! <3 school atm~WOW I'm a nerd!
Something that kicked my butt this week: Getting all of my training stuff done for my internship....I wrote a list of 30 reasons why I want to do this internship this summer and also wrote down and evaluate my goals. My favorite thing that I did was made a list of my toughest critics/sceptics and a list of my biggest supporters....funnily enough there was a huge overlap....It was quite the eye opener. However, it was great because it showed me the challenge of ppl I'm going to have to prove wrong [p.s. I put myself on the critics/sceptics list]-guess I gotta prove myself wrong...after all I put myself on the supporters list too :)
I just wish that I could get my business approach down....sadly I keep looking at the internship and keep putting it off cuz it's far away and I have so many other things on my plate :P
looking at my to-do list now and seeing that I still have 11 big things on it that need to be done this next week--> not counting anything with helping move lijah...however I have everything done for Monday already so I've decided that I am going to enjoy my weekend and start fresh on Monday.
Going to the movies with my boy tonight We're going to watch the new move in theater...Eagle...I have a feeling he'll love it and I'll be indifferent, but I'm going open-minded cuz I'm just so happy to get out and have a good time with the man I love :)
Note: I'm so glad that I learned how to slow down and enjoy the moments I have with the people I love! I thank all of my ex-es for putting up with the stupid/ ignorant Mary...granted I'm still learning how to be a good girlfriend and lord knows I fuck-up my fair share of the time....but I have grown extremely and become a better girlfriend from my past mistakes...sorry for my hurt, I never wanted to hurt anyone...but I'm glad I was able to learn from my mistakes----and I am by far still learning [thanks for loving me through it all Sailor]....I'll always support you with the Navy and your going for your dreams!
Final random fun point: Today in my Human Origin class we were learning about primates and I say my first ever squirrel monkey....I AM IN LOVE!!!! THEY ARE THE CUTEST THINGS EVER AND I DEFINITELY WANT ONE!!!! I told Lijah that his number one goal when he goes South with the Navy is to mail me a squirrel monkey :D We'll see if he listens ;) lol
Anyways...I've been overly verbose so It's time for me to go get ready for my date...since Lijah will prob. be done working out soon :P
Peace and love to all!

Mary Schmidt

Post Valentine's Day~A Night I'll Never Forget!
Valentine's Day 2011:
Well I'm pretty sure he loved it! It was definitely a blast....The greatest gift for me was getting to spend time with the man I love-FINALLY!!!!!! It seems like it's been forever since we actually got to enjoy each others company!
The date was the best thing I've ever done for someone...He really seemed to love it and I think he was shocked with how much I did for him. I have a unique card folded into a triangle. I used stickers and scrapbooking stuff and even glitter glue to decorate around a bunch of pictures of us...and Corinthians 13, my favorite verse on love in the bible. I also got him a single red rose with a card that told him he's my pick of the dozens.
When we got to his car I had my homemade CD with the homemade picture covered case. It also included my favorite love story, our favorite color, and the CD title "Forever and Always". We started the CD while he read my letter that had the reasons for each song. Basically, I was just a big silly! I also had a piece of paper with the rules of the night on it :D Rules like "have fun" and "do as I say" lol.
When we drove there (where we ate) I had a gift for each stop sign we met. I got him nice new winter windshield wiper blades, green peppermints (cuz at Christmas time we fought over them), :P, cute, little, scented tea candles (for the massage I gave him later), a black, leather-bound journal, and a kiss for each stop.
Like I said before I took him to his favorite restaurant, "Famous Dave's". I LOVED IT!!!!! I had pork tenderloins and he had steak, both were extraordinary!!!! (We held hands and had great convo. throughout dinner) :D
Afterward we went back to his place and played the corny slow part of his CD and danced :) We have never really danced together....cuz we've never gone anywhere that would play slow dance type music. I loved it....It was the best part of the evening... I <3 him so much!
We had a great rest of our evening. I gave him a massage by candle light, and even watched the movie "The Last Song" by his choice...
He made me happy by having spent two hours cleaning his room and having it all nice for the evening and by not smoking for the entire date...He's romantic in his own way I guess...it was nice to treat him and show him how much I love and appreciate all he does. I wanted to make sure that he knows I will always be around to support him if he needs someone to fall back on :)
I will never, EVER forget my Valentine's 2011. It was by far the best yet with fabulous company and amazing memories...
I'll end with some sappy quotes I found...to keep the lovey dovey mood :p

The Times They are a Changing
Well, we had a minor set back today with the Navy, but I know that won't stop us. As much as it kills me to say it, I hope that Lijah is able to get everything rolling soon. I want his dreams to come true just as much as I want my own!!! I guess we all must rise above life's little set backs, because lord knows there will be A LOT OF THEM!
It's funny how when you love someone so much it seems like their hurt becomes your own...I don't really know what to do! I guess I just have to accept that it is all in God's hands...
Also, I've decided that it's ok to be sad-everyone is entitled to a day or two. However, I feel like pitty is a waste of time. I've learned that it is a neccessary part of picking yourself back up...I spent far to much of my week being timid and concerned...I'm done! It seems like it's important to hit rock bottom, so then you know that all you can do-is go up!
It seems to be time for a major get out and pick-me-up... Hopefully, that is where my V-day date will come into play :)
It's been quite possible the roughest last couple weeks of my life [although, I've probably said that before, yet somehow I'm still alive and kicking]. I know I, no, we will make it through alive one way or another. Our dreams and goals will be on the other side and they will be all the more worth it after all of these little set backs are conquered... Time to face the world with a stiff upper lip...Atleast we're still young...and healthy...and have the drive to keep pushing-Onward and Upward!
World be ready!!!! Cuz we're coming!

One of those days...
Well, today has been....slow. I have 2 test tomorrow and neither of which have a study guide. Therefore I have no motivation to study... Scratch that-I really just don't know how or where to begin studying.
So---> Instead of studying I have decided that I will take a mental breaks. After all, I've been up since 8 and had classes solid until 1, and even though I had almost 9 hours of sleep last night, I still feel like all I want to do is sleep...I miss my old happy go lucky-nice weather-zest for life summer time... Ideserve no need a small break!
Presently I am writing in one of my best friend Maury's room. Discussion topic for today...Valentine's Day. We are trying to figure out what to do for our significant others... funnily enough we are both doing similar things :P
This year I have decided that I want to give instead of get. I think that I have literally had a boyfriend for Valentine's Day every year since my Freshman year of high school, and while it is definitely nice to get...I've been wanting to give back for a couple months. With everything that has been going on, we have both been overly stress and let's face it...I have honestly been a little bit of a pain in the ass...
So Maury and I both decided that we will make homemade cards...they are always fun right? :) We are going to get to bust out my arts and craft drawer and be uber nerds with my glues and colored paper and other crap.
Other fun things are flowers...now idk if I should do flowers or not because well obviously Lijah is a boy...but I think a single rose with a corny tag that says "you're my pick of the dozen", or some other disgusting phase may not be all bad :P...As far as Maury goes-I'm on 'operation find out Allison's favorite flower in a non-suspicious way' lol.
Next, there is the dinner. Since Lijah has bought me...well... a lot of dinners, I am going to buy his this time (Just like I did on our first date/his birthday). I thought about taking him back to Texas Roadhouse (where we had our 1st date), but I decided on 'Famous Dave's' instead. He has told me countless times that it is one of his favorites and I've wanted to go forever! Instead of continuing to wait for him to take me, I will be assertive and take him lol :) --->Maury is still open for suggestions lol
Now, to get even more cheesy (because even though I protest, I absolutely love the little corny touches guys have when they're being romantic.) I thought about instead of telling him where we are going...since he will more than likely be driving...I would write directions or have him follow a map and just to be silly make him do a Chinese fire drill or other stupid thing when we get stuck at a red light.
Finally, and this may be going over the line...I haven't decided yet, I hope to make him mix tape of some of the songs we sing together on our way to his parents' or even just around Cedar Falls....and a few lovey dovey yucky ones to fill up the rest of the cd space...We'll see if I have time this week...
The only other thing that I thought he might love would be a back massage...totally thinking about giving him a good back massage because lord know that with all of the stress lately, there are quite a few knots to work out....I think I still need to talk to him about times and dates that work for him, and if he down for a night out, but I am hopeful that he'll be excited to be taken out for a change...do be honest I think I'll even be happy if he wants to go out in our sweats and watch a war/action movie...maybe I'll let him pick out a red box movie as the final, final touch...
Just want to show him that I love him-->that is after all the point of V-day right? To show those we love how much we care...
Anyways, Maury and I will undoubtedly continue our planning as he enjoys the pizza he just brought back from Biscotti's, and I start the dreaded studying :P
Peace and love to all!
Yours truly,
Mary Schmidt

Here goes nothing...
So...I guess I have to start somewhere...Hello everyone. I'm of course Mary Schmidt. I decided to start a new blog because...well I'm ready to graduate/grow up from my old one.
I will probably never really "grow-up", but just go with it...you know get somewhat more matture.
Anyways, thanks to my amazing roommate Stacia Fortune, I have been motivated to write about my life as it has been bit overwhelming and I don't neccessarily want to "talk" to everyone about it...just get it out!!!!
Also, I thought it would be a good idea since one of my greatest loves will be leaving for the Navy in the next month...that is to say that this blog will be a great idea...
Since I won't be able to communicate with him often or easily, I figured telling it to the blog/ or atleast posting my day-to-day life on this blog might just help him get caught up on the big things...when he gets done with boot camp :D
I'll write more later as I get the inspiration or atleast some kind of drive. The moment has unfortunately past as it seemed to take me a million lightyears just to overcome my technilogical impediments and figure out how to set up this silly thing! Stay tuned for something actually interesting....lol now I'm off to take a nap and try to sleep off my blood curdling headache :(
So far....just another day in the neighborhood...
Peace and love to all!!!!!
Always and Forever,
Mary Schmidt
