1 Room for 2 People?

Patrick and I are in the process of looking and figuring out where we want to go on our honeymoon. This is probably the hardest decision! We want a beach for sure, but don't know where?? What dawned to me last night was...we are booking one hotel room for us two. I'm a dork, I know, but it hit me. Wow, we are getting married! Ha, I know I'm a little late on that, but I'm excited! It's a great feeling that I'm going to get married and spend the rest of my life with that person. We are going to be roommates! (Sorry Alli, but I am going to miss you!!). It's life FREINDS, when Monica tells Rachel that Chandler is going to move it, "I'm going to live with a BOY!" and then Monica starts crying. Haha great episode!

On another note, I'm SOO EXICTED for tomorrow. I'm going to go see the Harry Potter movie!!! Every year I see the new Harry Potter movie the day it comes out, but this year I'm going a day late. It's okay, I know Patty doesn't care for big crowds, so I begged him to go the next day. Let's hope he likes it. I know I'll LOVE IT! Tomorrow is also a date day with Patrick. We are going to celebrate our 2 Year Anniversary and our engagement. We haven't celebrated or just spent time with just me and him to take everything in. So, I'm looking forward to it tomorrow!

Stop, Is this real?!?! :)

Well y'all...it happened!! I'm engaged! Patrick popped the question and I think...I said yes. Haha, well I'm pretty sure I did behind all the mumble jumble :) Well here is the story...
Patrick and me with our roommates have "roommate dinners" We haven't had one in awhile, so Jared sent out an email saying that we should have a roommate dinner like old times. He said just to come to the boys apartment after meeting. Well, out of all meetings, Gamma lasted for an hour and 20 mins. When I got out of meeting Alli texted me saying, "where are you?? The boys have to leave soon for their volleyball game!" So i called and said, Y'all eat without me, I'll be there soon. When I got to the parking lot, I ran up the stairs and knocked on the door. When it opened...BAM! Patty was dressed up so handsome and there were petals all over the floor and signs hanging everywhere! The first words out of my mouth were, "Where's Alli?" He laughed and said she's not here and got down on one knee. All I kept saying was..."Stop...Patrick..Stop...Stop Please (then started crying) My guess is he asked me when I started crying and I said YES! We hugged and I just kept saying, "Is this real? Is this real life right now?" And he just laughed and told me yes. I hugged him for so long and then he had me watch a video that he put together all by himself! I was so proud!! After the video Alli and Jared came out. Funny thing is, by then I didn't even have the ring on my finger!! So finally he put it on my finger and it became official! WE ARE ENGAGED!!!!! :) After it all, Patrick's parents and his brother and sister in law were at the door! Took lots of pictures, then Patrick had to leave quickly to his volleyball game. I had my candle-lighting that night and it was perfect! November 9th will never be forgotten and I'm so excited to become Mrs. Daniella Rayner!! :)

Cute Couple

Can I just say that I thought Me and Patrick were so cute at the Gamma Date party. Trust me, there were a lot of great costumes at the party! Funny ones and cute ones. I just thought in my opinion, me and Patty were too darn cute! Take a look! :)

Growing Up

Well, I guess its that time for me to start looking into my future. Scary! I feel like I just started college just yesterday and now I'm graduating in April?!? Time flies by really fast!! For those still in college enjoy your years and make it the best! I know i still a semester left, but I hope to not waste it. I want to enjoy my last semester in college, last semester in Gamma, last spring sing, last everything! So sad, but exciting at the same time. Where do I start? How do I find a job? I like to get things done early. So I'm in the process of revising my resume and sending it out. I do need an internship this spring, so I'm looking for a internship that I can keep my foot in the door for when I graduate. I know I want to edit. I can sit in front of a computer all day long and just edit. Video editing is a passion of mine. I would also consider photography as another passion of mine. I went to a professionals luncheon this afternoon and had a blast. I meet a lot of people and got a lot of advice. Now, I just need to take action. Its the scary part. Today I got the push to start on something. I'm a little nervous because I feel like I won't get hired anywhere, but I did receive some great advice. "If you get rejected, don't let that bring you down, keep looking and don't give up" said Tristan from Gooden Group. I just need to keep my head up and start looking. Hopefully someone will hire me! :)

Our first..

Me and Patrick have this saying of "Our first..(fill in the blank). It started when we first started dating. We went to the Alamo Bowl together and it was our first Alamo Bowl game together. Then it was a Redhawks opening game, then it was first Pro baseball pre-season game together (Athletics/Rangers). That game we met Josh Hamilton and Derek Holland. It was so great! Then we had our first Rangers/Twins game on the 3rd row. Yesterday it was our first playoff baseball game (Rangers/Yankees). As you can tell majority of all "our first" we like to start are about sports. We love sports and we love to watch sports together. Today, I tried to convince him for us to get World Series tickets and call it our first World series game, but he said no because tickets are WAY expensive. He is right, but it would be amazing to go to the game. The world series tickets are for the Rangers. I have a strong feeling that they will make it to the World Series! They have a great chance! They did so well yesterday in Game 2. They lost Game 1, but yesterday they swept the Yankees. I'm so excited to watch Game 3 tomorrow!! Lets home they do well and beat them in New York. I love my relationship with Patrick and I love that we can start sayings like "this will be our first..." Who knows what will be the next "Our First" :)

Gamma Rho

Well, rush and greek week is over. I can't believe its all done and now the Gammies have become a Gamma girl! It is so exciting! I love meeting them as freshmen and then they rush Gamma and get in. Its a great process! They are now my sisters! As much as I love rush and greek week, i'm glad its over. It takes over your life, but really fun at the same time. I guess you can say, I'm ready to have a normal schedule and go to bed early because all of my homework will get done early! Now about my Gamma family, the Niles. Love them to death. I feel that this year we have all got really close. We spent lots of time together and it has been a blast. Kind of sad that this is my last year for everything. I'm graduating! Ah! I'm going to miss Gamma and OC, but I'll be excited to graduate and not have homework :) I hope Gamma and my Niles family will grow strong through the years! And I think it will! Thanks to everyone that made rush so great! Great job Kirby and Keely!! Now lets make this a great year for GAMMA! YEAR OF THE ORANGE! GO GAMMA RHO!
