Fabulous Friday

I LOVE FABULOUS FRIDAYS!

This has been such a good day! I love it! I worked out this morning and felt great, I went to take a test I have been stressing about because it sorta kinda affects my future and I PASSED!!!! I then got to get my hair done and its dark again and it seriously looks fabulous! And I can say that because it wasn't my handy work :) For dinner we are going to one of my favorite restruants Stir Crazy!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Seriously it has just been a great day!

This post is short...only because I had to share my great day! Hopefully you all are having a great Friday as well and if not maybe this cheered you up a little bit??? :)

Getting my booty kicked in boot camp!

So we got back from vacation yesterday! We had so much fun. Today starts getting back into a routine...kinda for me. School doesn't start back up until Monday for me, but got a big day planned today and tomorrow. So we get back yesterday and I must have been more tired than I thought I was I slept from about 1:30pm til 4 ish but I felt better when I woke up!

Boot camp today we learned to run in intervals not something I am very good at. I guess I must not know either my strength or a good starting point...it kicked my booty to run for 20 minutes that is for sure. I know it'll get better just gotta keep up with it. Then we worked on some legs and abs....good thing my sister kicked my butt yesterday in the gym I was ready for today :) Tomorrow is the day we work out with the army guy....prayers are accepted :) The thing that I find to be difficult is choosing what to eat and how much. They talk about protein and carbs but not so much carbs and blah it exhausts me. I just need someone to come and plan my meals and tell me when and what to eat...thats not so hard right?? oh well that too will get better hopefully.

One more day of bootcamp this week!!!!

Psalm 5:3

Vacay and Boot Camp

Yesterday started boot camp at our church...just some beginning stuff like weigh in and measurements :/ and sit up and push ups a timed mile. I am pretty excited to say I ran the whole mile!!! It was 11:41 time and I was super excited about it. I am so looking forward to what all I can accomplish with God by my side. We have a memory verse for every day of the week for camp. I love the idea of knowing scripture and keeping it close to y heart however I am the worst memorizer. Today's is from Proverbs 1:7 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline." Even though we are on vacation and I am missing boot camp today and tomorrow we still got a family work out in this am. So hopefully I won't die Thursday when we get back!!

I love vacation. I love the water, the water slides, the food, the games, but especially the time with my family. We have been playing and having a good time. I love it. Today should be another full day of family fun :) 

We are also praying for my cousin's family with the loss of their uncle. I am sad for the loss of their uncle and friend but really happy he is in a better spot. 

Have a great day!!!

Time Moves On and On

Januray 1....always a day of looking ahead to new and exciting things and also a day of reflecting on the past year....the good and the bad. 2010 was a good year to me.

As I look back I do not remember much bad in 2010 but things that changed for the good. One of the best things and hardest things was that I transfered home for school. It was hard leaving friends and people that I had really become close to for three years to just move back home and start over brand new a fresh at a new school. It was not easy but I believe still it was for the best.

I always start with big plans for the new year. Right now in 2011 I am looking forward to getting into shape, doing well in school, and taking responsibility for things that I should be. I am starting a boot camp type workout on Monday at my church. Looking forward to it but also very nervous because I know it will be hard and I really need to do it. I am definately uncomfortable in these situations bcause I know that it is not my strength...yet :) I just need motivation to stick with it! I cannot wait to share results with you blog world!

Also Monday me and the fam go on vacay! I loooove vacation! Time away from work and school and life with a water park?? Whats not to love??

Also 1.1.11 started us ad a whole church reading through the Bible ( a special one that tells you what to read for that day) We are reading it as a church and it is really exciting to know that others are reading with me. I am really excited about and thankful for God's Word.

Also in 2011 I hope to make new friendships, strengthen ones I have already AND find old ones that have dwindled a little bit.

2011 will be full of good and promising things...in the good times and the bad I praise God.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all!!!

I love Christmas! I love our family time together and I love remembering that Jesus was born in a manger to know that he would grow up and die for ALL PEOPLE'S sins. For that I am certainly thankful!

These past couple of days I have been feeling SOOO much better! Thank God for answering prayers! Christmas Eve Eve me and my sister went to a friends house for their Christmas Eve Eve Party. It was so much fun to just hang out with them again! I have missed them! Then I went to my cousin's house because my cousins from TEXAS are HERE!!!!! I love them so much and wish I saw them more! IT was such a fun night we talked til 11:00pm ish and thats late for me ;) Last night was Christmas Eve when we as an immeadiate family have always done our Christmas. My sister and husband and nephew came over for a fabulous dinner my parents made. We had Red Lobster clam chowder for appetizer along with shrimp cocktail and garlic bread. Dad made fabulous steak for us and Mom made the fried potatoes! It was delish! We also had birthday cake for dessert! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS! We also played games of dominoes. IT was so fun! IT is one of my most favorite nights of the year! Today we go to my aunt and uncle's for Christmas with that side of the family! I love love love this DAY!!!!!

I want to wish all a very Merry Christmas and I hope all have a blessed day!!!!

laughter really is the best medicine...

After a rough weekend and a rough couple of days I had a really fun night. I hung out with an amazing 8th grader and 5th grader. Kids (especially teens and pre teens) can be something crazy but there is just something about them that can make the child in you come out and play :)

I got to sit and hang out with them not babysit just hang out :) They made me laugh and laugh and laugh. I love this family. I used to be closer to them when I was younger but goodness it felt soo good to be back and just laugh with them.

Past couple days have just been rough....I have talked, and cried and cried some more. I have prayed for peace and a change of heart for situations that are present. I believe my prayer was starting to be answered just by the peace and laughter I felt tonight that I have not felt in a minute.

I am excited for this week!! MY cousins come tomorrow!!! They are so fun! I love family time!!!! Then Christmas Eve and Christmas!!!! I cannot believe it is so so soon. I love Christmas becasue we remember of Christ being born with the intention of saving us all from sin. I also love it becasue it does bring the family together and I really do love my family!

I love to cry it out....just my nature....but I love laughing more :)

Sometimes...

Somethings in life just are not fair. Things happen...I believe for a reason. I have had to learn that lately...even if I do not know the reason quite yet I have to trust in knowing it was for a reason. For me this week it has been school and work. I really need to pass this test in January so I can finally get started in the Teacher Education program. The test is January 7th and a  big deal. I have missed passing by 1 point! I just come so close and then it just doesn't happen for me...but it will...it has to.


I was also passed up for a job that I believed was for me. I had worked hard and trained and had been there for 5 years. It was given to someone else...someone who I know can do the job fine, but that did not make me feel any better about not getting it. My feelings were hurt and it just was no fun all around. I know there is a reason that I didn't get the job and hopefully I'll know why sometime soon.

 Even though these things have not worked out I am very thankful to God that he has helped provided for my education and provided me with a job in general. I am thankful for school and work so really I have nothing to complain about.

 5 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!
