Luckily, I have people to fix me.

Can anyone say worst weekend ever?

I think I can.

The only thing that made it better was this:


Yes, that is a 100% real black diamond ring people. Real, flawless, 2 karats of amazingness. My fiance reproposed to me with it. The first time he proposed he got me a completely fake ring, (which he later reveled to me was from WalMart (he had to propose THAT moment and couldn't wait to get money for a real ring.)) that started to turn orange after the first week of me wearing it. It was an absolutely beautiful ring, at first, but I had to start painting it with silver paint to make it look decent. This was it:



My fiance promised to get me a real forever ring eventually so I could have my coveted black diamond. But before that he purchased a ring with cubic zirconia and a sterling silver band so that I wouldn't have to paint my first ring anymore. It was only 50 bucks and looked amazing so I was thrilled. It looked like this:


So this past weekend we were going to make a trip down to Harveysburg, OH and go to the Ohio Renaissance Festival.  We went last year and it was one of the most fun things I have ever been to. So, needless to say I was pretty excited. I put on my dress that we had bought before the festival last year for incredibly cheap.  (40 bucks for a dress that rented usually for 150 a weekend...Yipee for being loyal customers at a family owned costume shop!)

Here is a pic of my dress from last year!

Unfortunatly, things didn't go as smoothly as I had planned. My fiance got into an accident, and because he knew I would freak out, he didn't tell me and was horribly late to pick me up.

I was furious.

This was supposed to be the most fun weekend of the year and I had to wait 3 extra hours for that to begin.  I was annoyed and ticked off that he couldn't be on time for this important weekend. (Being late is not an unusual thing for him, BTW, I've told him I'm gonna tell him our wedding is taking place hours before it actually is so maybe he'll be on time) When he called I told him to go home. I didn't want to talk to him right now and I would go to the Ren Fest myself. But he kept telling me that he had something really important to give me and to not make him go home. So, I gave him a chance. I went out to the lobby of the dorms to get him, since you need a key to get in, and he showed me a ring box. "In this," he said, "is your forever, 100% real, diamond ring. I want to repropose to you at the Renaissance Festival. Please don't make me go home." 

Of course I complied! I love the man and I can never stay mad at him for more than 20 minutes and that time limit had almost passed.

We then headed out from northern Ohio to the place of my birth to stay with my parents. Due to a series of unfortunate events, my ankle ended up getting sprained coming down the stairs of my dad's house. Of course, it was raining as well and if any of you have ever been to the OH Ren Fest you know its basically down in a hole. So, naturally the place was flooded. I was bummed. Not only could I not go because of the rain but I couldn't do anything fun because of my ankle. So I put my coat over my head in my fiance's car and fell asleep on the way back to the northern lands.

I slept through 2 hours of driving and then I woke up to my fiance fiddling with my hand. He said, "Baby you better wake up." As he lifted my hand up to my face so I could see he asked me if I would marry him. Of course I said yes, I had already done so twice before! It wasn't as romantic as he had planned but it still worked for me. I love him so much he could have done it in a dump and I would have said yes.

Hopefully, I'll tell our children these stories one day and they will laugh at their dad.

Uncontrollable laughter.

Oh God I hope that happens! :)

 Anyways, we went to a game night with a group of our friends and enjoyed the night with an hour long game of cards against humanity before Chris and I had to leave. (I think you guys know my fiance's name is Chris, if you didn't now you do!)

The next day, I laid in bed an played Pokemon X and waited for Chris to get home from work. Then when he got home we cuddled for a little while and then he came back to my college with me. 

Let's back up a couple of weeks before I proceed shall we?

In one of my classes, we were assigned to do a small group project in the form of a short video and put it on youtube. I was put with two really cool girls who have amazing work ethics which made me feel very lucky compared to the other groups I have been put into in other classes. We immediately got together and started brainstorming and then filming. All our filming was done the week before it was due. Then we realized that our finished project wouldn't exactly hit the mark on the assignment unless we made some tweaks that would require some extra time. 

I guess we kinda let our creativity take over, bad us (metaphorically slaps hand in punishment). 

We immediately emailed the professor asking what we should do and the end result after meeting with her is that we would have to make major changes and we would get NO extension on the deadline. 

Greeeeaaat.

Did I mention I was the one who owned the camera and I was the one that knew how to edit video and I was the one who was going away to the Renaissance Festival the weekend before the project was due on that way too soon following Monday?

Yep, all true. 

So we came up with a plan to make shooting from separate places work and I resolved to pull an all nighter Sunday night to edit the video so I could still go to the Renaissance Festival. 

Now fast forward to that Sunday. 

Chris and I got back to the college from our wonderful weekend in the rain and me being in pain to go to the computer lab to download the video I had uploaded to a specific computer onto my google drive so I could then download it onto my laptop begin editing. Macs are tricky things. They only save stuff to one computer even if your school has a network sharing thingy. So my videos were ONLY on THAT mac. 

Everything was going fine until I realized it was 10:50. The library closed at 11 and one of the most important videos for the project was not uploading. I had to abandon the important video segment and do without it. 

Technology: 1 Roni: 0

Then, I headed back to my room and started downloading the video to my laptop. My computer started to tell me I didn't have space on my computer. I told myself No big deal I'll just go through and delete some crap. Needless to say that didn't work. 

Technology: 2 Roni: 0

Then, I tried making a new drive image and that didn't have enough space either. Suddenly, an idea sprang into my head.

Alli.

OMG ALLI SHE'LL KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!

I quickly pressed the F on my contact button on my iPhone and called my best friend. She offered me her external hard drive and I swear the angels came down and started to sing. And by the way did I mention she offered to completely re-film her part in the video at midnight on a Sunday?

Yeah this is my best friend. 
(By the way she has a blog, check it out here)

She completely rocks.

I then spent 6 hours editing the video and uploading it to YouTube, then taking the explanation and editing it. After sleeping for 2 hours I headed off to class with a sprained ankle, a tired mind, and a head full of prayers that I would survive that day. 

So yeah, that was my weekend.

Wonderful right?

But I would like to finish this post out with two notes to two very important people in my life.

Chris, 
I love you more than anything. Thank you for dealing with all my craziness. Thank you for staying up with me so I could get that darn video finished. You are the best future husband a girl could ask for. 
-Roni

and

Alli,
Babe, I think I've told you this a million times, but you are amazing. I am so thankful that God put you in my life. I couldn't get through this crazy life without you. 
You are an adorable winner, with dirty hair ;) 
-Roni

Sometimes You Just Gotta Pass the Time

Well hello there :D
I am waiting for my fiancé to get off of work so I figured I would just write a post. In case you haven't noticed my profile picture is different....It is the logo for this blog and my twitter. I doodled a concept in my psychology notebook that looked like this:



And then James of Jcconceptional turned into this:


And of course I picked the top right one!
(Just so you know you can check out James' art on his Facebook and his Wix page (GO DO IT GO DO IT RIGHT NOW))

Moving on,
I bought the new pokemon game. I have the X version which makes me a happy camper because Yvetal just doesn't appeal to me. I am not very far in it but I am in love. They made EXP Share not a held item! There is a berry field and not berry patches scattered all over the place. You get EXP even when catching a pokemon. Saving is soooo much faster. ROLLER SKATES. SO MANY POKEMON. CUSTOMIZATION.

nerdgasm

The only complaint I would have is I kinda miss only being able to move in 4 directions. Sometimes the  roller skates are just really hard to control but that is so minor I don't hardly notice it.
So yea Gen 6 is amazing.

I also have bought the additional street pass mii plaza games for the 3DS. I got them all for 16 bucks which seemed really appealing for me. That pack included: Mii Force, Flower Town, Warrior's Way, and Monster Manor. I like all of them and they are really addicting so I recommend purchasing them all. But incase you are on the fence I'll include a short review of each one here and put them in order from my most favorite to least.

  1. Monster Manor: I love that this game has so many different things in it. It may seem simple when it is first being explained to you by the rabbit who wants to sell you it but Monster Manor is so much more. You collect the puzzle pieces to fill up each floor while trying to make squares of the same color pieces so you can get chests that have weapons or power ups or magical orbs. Then you could come across a ghost or monster you have to fight. The one major thing I love is you don't need to have more than one streetpass tag at the moment to have fun in this game and progress decently. If you just have one person to help out you can still spend at least 5 minutes in this game. Other games, like Find Mii, you need at least 2 people to help if you want to make decent progress. The one complaint I would have is the instructions are not really detailed so you have to figure out a lot on your own.
  2. Flower Town: This is a very very close second. Again, I like it because you can only have one person and do a lot in the game. You also take a risk everytime you plant a seed. You could get a new breed or it can just be a new color. That is very frustrating but still that is part of the fun. You just get to sell the plant and plant a new seed and start all over again.
  3. Warrior's Way: Here you have to gain troops to conquer the world. Honestly, I should have tied this one with Mii Force at last place but there are some things I like about Warrior's Way and nothing I like about Mii Force. It is practically impossible to make such a growth in troops sometimes to conquer the next country. I understand they didn't want you to beat the game in a week but come on! One of the countries is like 200 troops and then it jumps to 1,100. The only way you can make this jump in a decent amount of time is if you get a nintendo mii coming to your 3DS and that usually only happens when they are trying to hype up a new release. 
  4. Mii Force: You can't pass a level once you get past the 4th level unless you have at least 3 streetpass tags. It sucks. I literally grown every time I have to play Mii Force with one or 2 people. It just isn't an appealing game to me.
Well, my fiancĂ© is going to be home soon so I need to get all cuddled up in bed and wait for his call. I hope you guys have enjoyed my little shameless promotion and gaming update.
