I'm Sooooooo far behind!!!! I hate to say this, but I might be partially "throwing in the towel!" Life with school, student teaching, basketball games, and friends has totally taken over my blogging updates.... so, I thought I would just upload a picture when I have one that I feel is special!! I know I'll be posting soon tho because Briona is playing in her first sectional this week/weekend :)
Until then... :)
This blog will capture the next 365 days of my life. Each day I will upload a picture of anything that I feel like sharing to document one full year of the ups, downs, and in betweens! Enjoy the ride :)

Today I'm home with the flu/cold and I feel HoRrIbLe!!! I want this over so I can get back to school... I had a pretty lazy day, sleeping and watching tv! On the Oprah show today they talked about happiness. A doctor did a study and found that you're born with 50% of the happiness you can attain in your life... the other 50% is up to you. I believe the smallest things in life are what make you the happiest:)

I'm gonna do it!!! All of my long, long hair is going to be chopped off on Friday!!! I want something that is easier and less time consuming; something easy to take care of and do in the mornings! My extra ten minutes of sleep will be well worth the cut :)
This is the style I'm goin' for...

Today we went to church at Anioch and then spent the next 2 1/2 HOURS in Wal-Mart shopping!! I bought some Dr. Scholl's Gel Insertables because my feet have been so sore from standing all day at school, especially when I'm wearing heels, and they feel A-MAZING!!! I highly recommend them to anyone who has sore feet from shoes!! Now I can't wait to put my shoes on in the morning:)

Today I finally got to sleep in and have a lazy Saturday- no practices, no games, nothing!! Later on in the afternoon, I headed over to Regina's to welcome baby Mason home! Amy and I (and the boys) cooked them a yummy dinner and did some laundry for them!! We also made Mason a "coming home" cake:) I was labeled the "baby-hogger" of the night!! I can't help it- I loooove that little boy!!

Tonight I headed up to my friend Cole's for a relaxing Friday evening. We had some yummy supper- ribs, pork chops, hash brown casserole, baked beans, etc. and then spent the night playing games that were super fun!! If you've never played Scattegories, Apples to Apples, or Rummicub, you are missing out!! :)

January 13th held so many special experiences for me, and they were all on my dad's birthday! I love it when God plans so many special things on days that I hold dear to my heart. First of all, this was my first day of student teaching!! I am 15 weeks away from holding a Bachelor's Degree of Education in my hands... I know my dad would be so incredibly thrilled about this!!! Second of all, one of my best friends, Regina Graber, had her little boy, Mason David, on this special day!!! When student teaching was over, I rushed home, went to my Jr. High game to coach my cheerleaders, came home and got dressed for bed, and then headed to the hospital!! Mason arrived around 11 p.m., so it was a late night for all of us!

Another snow day!!!! I feel like I have been on break FOREVER and I know these two days of sleeping in are spoiling me!! I finally got the girls to get the 4-wheeler out with me so I could pull them around. Should be the other way around, right?! :) I also looked through some old photos- I love doing that!! This is a pic of me and some of my friends as seniors in high school!! :)

Today I had my student teaching orientation at USI!! They basically just made a brief presentation about what to expect, what not to do, etc. I also took back all the Christmas gifts that needed returned or exchanged! It was a long day/night!... It's so weird thinking that I will no longer be a campus student, instead, my night class will be like a virtual classroom by using a webcam!

Tonight I got to go to the Colts playoff game against the NY Jets and.............we lost! :( I had so much fun before and during the game though, so it was well worth it!! We got to Indy around 4 p.m. and tailgated until the game began at 8 p.m. even though it was freezing outside!! I went with Kelly, Cole and little Ike :) Maybe we'll pull off a win next year!

I got this little shirt for Regina's baby that is due any day now!!! I know I'm not really going to be an "aunt" but it's been a joke between us for a long time that I'm gonna call her little boy my nephew because I love kids so much! I literally can NOT wait for his arrival and to see him in this little shirt ;)

Today I went and jumped in the tanning bed for 20 min. because I was feeling so "white" and I hate that feeling. As I was laying there I thought, "Okay, I wonder how many wrinkles, age spots, and freckles I just added to my face/body?" I hate the thought of premature aging, or worse, skin cancer so about a year ago I asked my doctor about tanning and his thoughts on it. I told him.. I'm not all about being the darkest girl around, I just want to keep a little color on my skin during the dreaded winter months. He told me if I only tan once every 2 weeks, or 2-3 times a month and wear lotion with UVA/UVB protection it shouldn't have too much of an effect on me, considering I'm not burning myself in there as well! So that's what I've been doing!! I also use Jergens Natural Glow Daily Facial Moisturizer everyday and again before I tan (it also has SPF 20) which also helps add some natural looking color without damaging my skin!! I'm at the point in my life where I don't want to be looking 50 when I'm only 40 just so I can look tan today!! ;)
