So I have this trip planned for the summer… a friend is getting married in England and the original plan was for me to go to England for a week. My dad forked over his frequent flier miles (poor guy didn’t really have a choice, there’s no way I could’ve afforded it on my own) [...]

[I'm pre-empting my weekly project 365 recap post in favor of a post regarding my birthday. I'll probably post the recap tomorrow. Maybe. Maybe not. It IS my birthday after all. :)]
(Birthday card from Beth.. I LOVE it.)
I love birthdays. I always have. Sometimes I think that at this point in my life, I should [...]

So I had a work-related blog post planned for today. But I just don’t want to think about work right now. I’m tired. And excited about the fact that I finally, officially have plans for Spring Break. And more excited about the fact that those plans are going to visit my BFF Beth… in Alabama.
Yeah [...]

Ah Christmas. I’m 27 years old and I still have trouble sleeping on Christmas Eve. Something about PRESENTS gets me excited.
When I went downstairs this morning, the stockings had been hung placed by the fireside with care.
Yes, even Bay gets a stocking.
The Christmas tree was overflowing with gifts. Mainly because we didn’t [...]

Let me start by saying that today was an amazing day. Truly awesome. And, luckily for the blog, I have pictures of most all of it. Aren’t cameras wonderful?
The big thing around town, of course, was that it was supposed to snow. They had been predicting this for the past week but I didn’t believe [...]

Big day today. Huge. In fact, I’m a little over the moon about it – half excited and half “omg did I really just do that?!” If you follow me on twitter, you already know what happened. However… I don’t want to talk about it on the blog just yet. I’m worried that doing so [...]

I decided to take a picture instead. After all, they say a picture is worth a thousand words. :)
Random shot, I know, but let me explain. I’ve always loved the Life is Good brand, and have always liked the daisy pic the best. When I saw this mug the other day, I had to get [...]

When I was about 13 years old or so, my dad decided to take me and my younger brother and teach us how to shoot a gun. He bought a revolver (and later a rifle) for us to practice on and we would go to the shooting range and aim at targets. He was all [...]

So when I left San Antonio, I thought I was gone for good. I said goodbye to my friends there with a feeling that I wouldn’t really see them again. And since two of my friends have families, I figured I wouldn’t really hear from them… one of them was pretty bad at returning phone [...]

I kid, I kid. I’m really not counting down to the end of school… yet. This week has just felt tiring – we’re still working on rules and procedures in the classroom, and it’s going pretty well for the most part.. but there are a few kids that are exhausting me already. I need to [...]
