Things you want to say to an ex

Ok, so I got real busy with school and had to take a blogging break but I'm working on getting back to it!
This challenge is 'things you want to say to an ex', but I don't really have anything to say to an ex.  I am on decent terms with all of my exes and there are no hard feelings about anything that has happened!  I guess if I had to say something to any of them it would be that I hope your lives are turning out to be everything you wanted to be and that you are following your dreams.

Bachelorette Week 4

Well I decided this week instead of describing the whole show instead I would just describe the some of the men and what I think about them. 

So lets start with Doug since he had the first one on one.  I really like Doug and I continue to like him more every time he speaks to Emily.  He is kind and I believe he is mature enough to handle what Emily is offering but at the same time will be fun.  I wasn't so sure about what he said about how because they were older they were more mature than some of then others, but in some ways he is right and he had very good responses to what Chris had to say to him about it.

Arie is still one of my favorites!  He is just so sweet and knows how to make Emily feel good.  He is perfect! He is cute, genuine, and can make Emily smile just by looking at her.  They really seem to have a connection and can't wait to see him more!

Jef is also on my top list.  He is cute and funny.  I enjoy watching him and Emily and how they seem to get a little nervous around each other.  And the nervousness is making them even cuter!  Jef's hair is just ridiculous though.  The wind makes it silly looking and it makes him look like a 17 year old not 27!  I honestly didn't even think he was old enough on the first night!  I was very happy Jef got the rose on the group date, but I really wish he wouldn't have gotten to comfortable as to  wear those socks at the rose ceremony.  Jef is definitely a winner, but he needs to lose those socks and that hair!

I have to admit I was rooting for Ryan a little in the beginning.  I mean come on I have to cheer on my Georgia man.  But now he can just leave.  I know someone tweeted that he was a disgrace to Augusta and all mankind and they are so right!  I mean do you hear the stupid things he says on tv?!  Does he know that women everywhere are watching and do not find what you are saying attractive!  First he makes the snarky comments to Emily in previous weeks, but now he's saying stupid things behind her back.  He needs to lay off of Arie because Arie can't help that Emily likes him!  He also needs to keep his mouth shut about things like he'll be the next bachelor or something like that.  Ryan, you need to go!

Chris Chris Chris.  I was really liking him until he got so worked up about what Doug said.  Yes Doug made a comment about being more mature because he's older.  And maybe Chris is mature because of his experience.  BUT they need to just agree to disagree and get over it.  The argument should have been over when it was over, but instead Chris brought it all the way to the rose ceremony.  Honestly, that was ridiculous and kinda pissed me off.  Most of what Chris said didn't make sense and Doug didn't even have anything to say back because he didn't care.  And that shows that maturity levels of both of them!

I don't have a lot to say about anyone except these few things...  I wish I would have seen Sean a lot more and it made me upset that he missed out on the group date!  I was very sad to see Charlie go and happy to see Micheal leave! I'm also very ready to see Emily lash out on someone like something ridiculous!  Hopefully we get somewhere with some of these guys next week!

A book you love

I love to read and I definitely don't get to as much because of school and all the reading that it requires.  But I do have two favorite books that I'll share today.

1. Sunday's at Tiffanys:  This is a book written by James Patterson, which is surprising because most of his books are dark and scary.  But this is a love story in a way about a girl whose imaginary friend left her when she was 8.  When she is in her thirties and engaged, her imaginary friend comes back except he isn't imaginary anymore.  Jane is finally happy again, but what will she do?
2. The Last Song: Nicholas Sparks writes amazing books!  I love this book and if you've seen the movie do not judge.  I love the book 100x more than the movie.  It's all about a summer romance and a girl whose dad is dying from cancer.  Except her and her dad aren't close and she isn't happy about spending the summer with him, until she learns that he isn't such a bad guy after all.

I hope I've inspired y'all to read at least one of these books! They're the best.

5 Ways to Win My Heart

Hello!
So I know that I already blogged today about the bachelorette but today will just have to be a double whammy!  Y'all just be glad I'm making time to do this :).

Today's Challenge is 5 ways to win my heart!

1. Write me a handwritten love letter: I love a love letter, but whats better is when it's handwritten.  Love letters are a perfect way to pour your feelings out without forgetting anything you may have wanted to say.  They are sweet and romantic and probably a way to get into any girls heart!  Handwritten makes it just that much more romantic.  I don't like typed as much because I see that everyday with texting or email.  If you are going to type it then why not email it? There is just something about a handwritten love letter/note that just makes my heart melt.
2. Make me a homecooked meal:  What's better than a homecooked meal? When you get to watch your sexy boyfriend cook it!  That's what!  I love to watch Josh cook me dinner.  It makes me feel so loved and I love that he can cook!  I'm not trying to be lazy by any means, but there just those days when you don't feel like cooking.  For one of our first dates Josh cooked me dinner and it was amazing!  He made me pasta with chicken, bacon, and alfredo sauce.  I loved it and was very impressed with his cooking skills!
3. Watch "my shows" and chick flicks with me :) : These are times when I enjoy having someone to sit and cuddle with.  I love to watch One Tree Hill, The Bachelorette, Pretty Little Liars, and a ton of chick flicks so if you can sit down and watch those with me that will definitely make me smile!
4. Listen: It's that simple, just listen.
5. Be Yourself: Cause why would you want to be anyone else?  Having a relationship with someone who is being fake seems like your relationship.  So just be yourself and if it's what is right than you'll win my heart.

The Bachelorette: Week 3

So because the Bachelorette is one of my favorite TV shows and I need to blog more I thought The Bachelorette would be a great topic!  It's only the third week into the show so most things are just getting started.  I am going to outline the week and my thoughts on the guys.

One-on-One: Chris received the first one on one date of the week.  On their date they climbed up a building to eat dinner on the roof.  Emily got very nervous, but Chris was calming and confident.  At dinner Emily finds out that Chris is only 25 years old (She is 27 I believe) and is extremely surprised.  This surprise worries Emily that Chris isn't old or mature enough to get married and be a dad just yet.  Chris assure her that he is old enough and is ready to be a dad now. After dinner, they take a walk to see Luke Bryan performing.  Sounds like a perfect date for me.  Luke Bryan shows Emily's southern side!  Not sure I would have been able to focus on Chris though! The night ended with dancing and a kiss.  I really don't remember having an opinion on Chris before but I definitely like him after this week.  He seems very calm, confident, and caring!

Group Date: I am really trying to remember everyone who got to go on this date but I'm not sure.  From what I can remember there was: John, Ryan, Sean, Jef, Tony, Stevie, Charlie, and Travis.  At the beginning of the date Emily asks her girlfriends to interview her "boys" and they happily agree.  The main points of the interviews were:

1. Ryan: The girls thought that Ryan would be a good dad.  He also had to do pushups.
2. Travis: The girls told Travis that he needed to get rid of the egg... the result of this later to come.
3. Sean: Sean tells the girls that he thinks that he and Emily connect on key points such as their faith.  He also thinks that he is ready for kids.

Then Emily puts the boys to another test.  Emily sends out several kids to watch the guys play with them and see how well they can handle the kids.  While they play with the kids, she talks to her girlfriends who tell her that their pick is Sean or Doug.  Later that night she talks to Sean some more who comments that her friends are "awesome".  He also tell Emily that he knows what he wants in life and love - he wants love like his parents.  Afterwards while talking to Doug Emily tells the story of his rough childhood.  Throughout the night Tony struggles with the fact that he's left his 5 year old son at home.  He doesn't know if he should continue to pursue love or go home to his son...  Emily sends him home because she is not 110 percent sure that he will be the one and does not want to put him through this any longer.  Sean receives the rose.  As of right now I have to say Sean is my number one!  He laid low the first couple weeks but this week he really got me.  He is so sweet and tell exactly what he thinks.  I was upset to see Tony go home but it was the right thing for Emily to do.  I respect her for sending him home since she wasn't sure.  Doug is another one of the good ones and I hope I only get to see him get better!

One-on-One: I guess they save the best for last with Emily and Arie being the last one-on-one date of the week.  Emily flies them to Tennessee where they go to Dollywood, a very southern amusement park.  Arie melted my heart when he wanted to play games to win Rikki a prize!  Afterwards they overcome Emily's fear of rollercoasters and ride one together.  Then Emily takes Arie down to the Celebrity Theater where Dolly Parton surprised them and sings a song just for them while they dance.  At dinner Arie tells Emily he thinks he is definitely ready for marriage and kids.  His previous relationship was with a woman that had two kids and he wanted more, which eventually led to their breakup.  Emily was mean at the end of this date and freaks Arie out before giving him the rose, but Arie got the rose! Don't worry! I have to say I think Arie is tied for first on my list!  He is definitely sweet, caring, and has let her know what he wants and that he is ready for a family.

Cocktail Party and Rose Ceremony: At the rose ceremony Emily's first order of business is to pull Kalon aside to talk.  He has rubbed me the wrong way since he landed in his helicopter on day 1!  He's got looks and money and he sure as hell knows it! Not only does he comment during the week that he is expecting the one on one date with Emily and is expecting her to go over the top for him but then he says the stupidest things at the cocktail party.  First he makes the comment that he would want his first child to be his own; basically saying he isn't really into the fact that Emily already has a daughter.  Then it gets worse.  When Emily asks him a question about what he is saying he says to her, "I love it when you talk, but I wish you'd let me finish."  That is so RUDE!  If you are going to go through this process the least you can do is be a gentleman about everything.  After that comment Emily said, "I don't like tall, funny, and condescending."  I guess every season has to have it's cocky bad guy, but I just can't stand Kalon much longer.  As if Emily's night wasn't going bad enough then she talks to Alessandro.  Alessandro is from Brazil and I didn't really understand his presence, especially after what he said to Emily.  Emily asks Alessandro how he would be as a dad and he replies that he doesn't have a lot of experience.  He also goes on to say that having a wife and daughter (Emily and Ricki) would be a compromise.  When Emily asks if he would find it as an honor he says no its a compromise because he wouldn't be able to do whatever he wanted because of them.  She immediately kicks him to the curb; she didn't even wait to rid of him at the rose ceremony. I still don't quite get why Alessandro signed up for the show.  He does know it's about finding a wife right?! But finally Sean rescues the night and tells Emily all the right things that she's been waiting to hear.  Sean tells Emily that he wants her to know that his dad has shown him how to be a great father and that he would be Ricki's father in his eyes if they got married.  Sean, my man, you just keep getting better!  Since Emily has already sent home 2 guys she only got to send home one from the rose ceremony.  I was banking on Kalon or Stevie going home and Stevie finally did!  He didn't really do anything bad, he was just kind of annoying and jealous already!

The Departed:

1. Tony
2. Alessandro
3. Stevie

My Top 3 (which is really 5):

1. Sean/Arie
2. Doug
3. Ryan/Chris

Next week I'll work on not being so lengthy! Oops!
