It is game day in Pittsburgh...and one thing needs to be clear. WE LOVE OUR STEELERS!
Tonight we are playing the Jets...{booooooo} for the AFC title, and a spot in the Super Bowl.
So...In honor of my beloved football team, I made a Polyvore that is purely Black & Gold.
It's time to watch some football! GO STEELERS! (or in Pittsburgh, GO Stillers!)

finally
Dear Boyfriend,
You are on your way here right now!
I am SO happy!
Love,
Girlfriend
P.S. you are never leaving again. NEVER.
i will hide you when you have to go back Sunday.
TGIF = mushy mushy blah blah.
Fridays are just so divine. Looking around the classroom of my 10:30 am Spanish class, you can just see the eagerness from every student to be done-zo for the week. This morning, I woke up to an e-mail announcing that my morning classes were cancelled due to the snow. Down south, classes would have been cancelled due to an inch of snow...Pittsburghers however, have to endure 10 plus inches of snow, and 12 degree weather for my unversity to cancel. Yet, the fact I was able to lounge around, eating a huuuuge breakfast, just made my morning go so much better.
It is now officially the weekend in the life of Kalyn. However, I know that it will go by way too quickly. Lately, I have been brainstorming ideas for blogs. As you know, my blogs do have a lot to do with personal style in a way that applies to my own life. So as I was browsing through old pictures, I came up with one that is very mushy and puke-romantic filled, but will involve moments that I will never forget.
Last night, I was snuggled up with my puppy, watching Grey's Anatomy, and there was a statement made that really hit home for me. Please forgive me because I am about to murder it, but it went something like this: "sometimes we don't see the purpose or significant of details, people, places, in our lives until years later...but they are what shape us as individuals, and thank God they happened".
One of my earlier posts, I explained the way I met my heartthrob of a boyfriend, Pat. What I can't get over, is how we worked. I mean, I met him on a cruise ship during spring break for heaven's sake! Not to mention the fact that I denied him the offer to dance with me...annnd avoided him the next day as I made my final exit off the ship. Somehow, I was found and convinced to drive nine hours up to a ball at Navy. Then, somehow after three months of not seeing each other in person, we reconnected, and fell in love. Oh, and also, the whole barrier of the fact that when I moved closer to home for school, he decided to spend a semester away at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. {which meant three weeks apart for a semester}
________________________________________________________________________________
Announcement: MY BOYFRIEND IS NOW A THREE HOUR DRIVE AWAY! I saw him last weekend, and I am seeing him this weekend. It's like Christmas all over again! ________________________________________________________________________________
But...the time we spent apart helped our relationship to grow in so many different ways...and it was really amazing to be able to visit him in Colorado. So as one of my posts today, I would like to share some pictures from our adventures out west.

My first visit to see Pat, at The Garden of the Gods
He thinks he's funny
I never wanted this moment to end
This is why I love him :)
If engineering doesn't work out for him, he could always be a photographer...ya think?
You all are probably disgusted by now
At the Broadmoor Hotel, by the lake...breath taking...(my photography skills this time)
His way of forcing me to eat a marshmallow...my second visit
The guys exchanging at Air Force from Navy(and their pretty ladies)...they called themselves Nu Beta Chi (NBX)
also known as "Navy Bro Exchange" ...they booked a cabin in the mountains for us,
and included the Lacrosse pinnies...typical...there is a past blog about their style.
View from the mountains, outside our cabin
The Cabin
On our way to Helen Hunt's Falls...last day in Colorado :(
My ballet flats were not the best hiking boots, but they are cute!
The Falls
Our last day together, sitting by the falls...a perfect moment.

I am thankful for Fridays, good breakfast foods, ballet flats, and the people and moments that make life so meaningful...hope you all have a supaaadupaaa weekend :)

Awkwardly Awesome Thursdays
Sir Maxwell Smart and I cuddled up to avoid the cold :)
The Awkward:
- Talking to my new piano professor about Family Guy, and somehow having him relate it to Mozart
- Cross country skiing with my Evolution and Systematics Lab, being the first one to fall flat on my face
- Singing in the van on the way to ski, and being told not to
- Sitting at a stop sign to exit a parking lot, and watching helplessly as a lady backs into my car in slow motion
- Having my dad tell my mom that, "he wants to tie her up tonight" in front of me
- Having a gym encounter with an old high school...ummm..."frenemy"
- Running on the treadmill while she watched my every stride
- Eating as if I was starved to death all night
The Awesome:
- Only having two classes today, and one of them was play time
- Waking up to the sweetest texts from my supadupa boyfriend
- Playing the piano
- Cross Country skiing instead of sitting in lab for four hours
- Duquesne Club Macaroons
- Knowing that tomorrow is Friday, and time with Patrick
- Completing all necessary homework for tomorrow and Monday
- Seeing how God works in the most unique ways in my life
- Watching a movie with my whole family
No style for today, I'm sorry. Currently putting together some polyvores, so be on the look. Snow storm central here in Pittsburgh. Hope you all have a safe and warm Thursday evening!
Set The World On Fire
Hi guys and gals!
It is Thursday evening, which means Friday is almost here! I will be posting several blogs tonight I believe, but thought I would share with you all, some of my modeling portfolio that I have been working on!
Hope you enjoy!

Writer's Block
Hey Prepsters!
I apologize for the long overdue post. A culmanation of things has caused me to not be able to keep up with my blog whether they be laptops failing me to the start of a new semester. Nonetheless, it is a new semester, and it is time to get back in the swing of things.
How was everybody's holidays?
For me, they were quite busy with different events, and traveling back and forth to see Pat in Ohio. However, I enjoyed every second of them, and had a chance to do a lot of really fun things with family and friends. The skis were used several times, we went ice skating, and just the time I got to spend seeing old friends, as well as finally spending more than a weekend with Pat since we have started dating.
All good things must come to an end though. Mine ended as I was driving out of the gates of the Naval Academy after dropping my boyfriend off. He is now a three and a half hour drive away, yet I still cried. What a sappy girl I am. So happy he is closer.
I am now starting my second week of classes, and already need a breather, so I took one and made a polyvore inspired by the young men I spent the weekend at West Virginia Univirsity with. These guys are some of the best guys you will meet, all of which attend the Naval Academy...however, I do tend to admire their preppy style.

All of the guys sported a plaid button down at some point this weekend. They matched them with corduroys or colorful chinos. When they weren't in plaid, they were in either crewneck or v-neck pullovers covered by their warm North Face fleeces.
West Virginia was a great time. I was with my best girl friends, and Pat and his guy friends, and it was quite a fun time. Here are some pictures from the weekend, notice the boys' attire! I will for sure write again this week once my creativity kickstarts again! Have a great Monday evening!
OHHHH...
GO STEELERS! I FEEL SUPER BOWL #7 IN OUR FUTURE!
