Did I even tell anyone I was going to Chile? And yes, that's me being a hardcore badass sitting in the middle of da road.

Left on Jan. 23rd, got back home on Feb. 8th. Landscapes there are insanely beautiful, what with all the lakes and mountains. It was a wonderful little break from this horrendous heat wave in Brazil, but I'm beyond glad to be back home.
Cherry was being a meanie pants when we first walked in the door but now she forgives us I think.

AH YES. Flickr pro has ended. boooo :( all my failed 365 photos are gone.

Our 4 month anniversary is on Saturday :) it may not seem like so long but we've been best friends since May. I love this boy so much <3 I have a lot more of these cute pictures of the two of us. I'll post them eventually. :P

A lot has happened since I last posted.

I don't know if I should write it all here cause I honestly don't know how many of you still read my stuff. Depending on the activity this picture gets I'll write about it. who gives a shizz, I'M GONNA WRITE! This is for me.

In chronological order...
my grandma was in the hospital for around a month a little while back. She fell in her bathroom and broke her leg. In the hospital, even before the surgery, it was torture. A broken leg might not be such a big deal, and it isn't, but my grandma is quite the weak old lady, and she's over 80 years old with alzheimer's. Being in a hospital did her no good, and the meds the doctors were giving her at first made her worse. We visited whenever we could, but it was horrible. She was in pain. And she fell into a slight coma for a little over 24 hours and one point. That day, I was crying when I left. I thought she was going to go, we all did. But she woke up. My dad texted me while I was in class to let me know she was awake. I cried because I knew she was going to be fine. She slowly recovered and slooowly started eating again. When she was strong enough, she went in for surgery. Everything went fine. She went back home like a month ago, and after weeks of being spoon fed by nurses, she was able to feed herself. Yesterday my aunt called me to tell me she took her first steps and was started on physical therapy, and she's going to be good as new.
And that's why Christmas was so special.
After seeing her in a coma, when she hadn't been eating for days, I didn't think she'd be able to spend Christmas with us this time. But she did it. She was here with the whole family and very cheerful and playful (she acts like a child, really, because of her alzheimer's), and it made me cry again. This Christmas meant more to me than any other Christmas before. I love you, grandma<3

New Year's Eve was special, too. It was the first time I ever spent New Year's with a boyfriend :) Will came over and spent the night. My super sweet neighbor was here, too. So it was my parents, me, Will, and Suzana.
Everything was going great until I went to let Amy and Iron inside (I was looking after my other neighbors' dogs since they were travelling, so I went to their house to let them inside). Amy is a huge black lab mix. Iron is a tiny little Dachshund. Little Iron was nowhere to be found. I looked everywhere for him, but he had ran away through a gap in their gate. I was freaking out. If there's one worse feeling than losing your own pet, it's losing someone else's. I didn't know what to do. It was 11:45pm on New Year's Eve and we were all down the street looking for him, we got the car and went far down the road. And that's how we spent our new year's eve, pretty much. When we called it a night and came home with no sign or Iron, my mom and dad went to sleep and I sat on the couch next to Will. He hugged me and I just started sobbing uncontrollably because I couldn't help but feel guilty somehow, even though it's not my fault they had never filled that gap under the gate. Next day, my dad called Iron's owner and explained the situation to him. He was extremely understanding and told us not to worry. They came home earlier than planned and put up flyers everywhere. Next day, someone called. A lady had picked him up down the road and basically had adopted him. He was being treated as part of the family already but was very happy to return him to his actual home. Once again, my dad texted me while I was in class, saying "Iron is home" and I started crying again. He's safe and sound and I couldn't be happier.
As you can see, a lot of bad things happened but we never lost hope. And everything worked out in the best way possible. <3

Will passed the college test I mentioned in the last picture I posted, which means he's been officially accepted into Law School. I'm so proud :) he still applied to this other college though, the same one I did. And both of us just had four days of tests to try to get into this college. It's much, much harder. Last test was today. Results come out on the 21st, I think. Excited about that but I'm not getting my hopes up. BUT WISH ME LUCK!
I'm not done with studying yet, though. I have two more tests coming up, but these are for jobs. They're really difficult tests but the jobs pay A LOT of money so I'm going to keep studying my ass off, I want that salary! I have a test on the 22nd and one like 2-3 weeks after that.

My test is on the 22nd in the morning. At midnight on the same day, WE TRAVEL! Mom, dad and I are going to Chile for two weeks. Should be amazing! I'll take millions of pictures of course.

Anddd last but not least, I have a surgery scheduled for this monday, the 16th. I'm getting a little thingamajig removed from my leg. It's a possible melanoma. I don't really know why, but I'm not scared at all about this. I'm actually hoping I get to watch the cut my leg open since it's done with local anesthesia alone. Should be interesting. I also hope it leaves a nice scar. The doctors are trying to convince me to get a plastic surgery done afterwards to cover up the scar since they're gonna have to dig up quite deep in my leg. Uhh... no thanks! I want the scar :P

Oh and I'm hoping to get two of my tattoos done when I'm back from Chile :)

I was gonna post a cute picture of Cassie but then I remembered this one of Will and me and decided to post it instead.
His law school bar exam is this weekend, I'm sure he'll do well and get accepted into college, but wish him luck either way! :) <3

I love this boy so much.

We had a fantastic sunday. Family trip with the boyfriend and my mom and dad! :)

Life is great right now.
