Heavy Load

Hello Everyone! I have had a little trouble keeping up with my blog lately...sorry! I will try and do better. Things around here have been crazy since spring break. When I got back to my regular schedule I jumped in full force! I am back to having boot camp 3 days a week, which I love. I have a hard time motivating myself to go to the gym and lift weights, but with the help of Texas Boot Camp I am able to do just that!! I also decided to get back into swimming. I love it! I have never been much of a runner, so this is my way of getting in cardio and working on endurance.

Not only have I been working out a lot, but I have started grad school again! It is great to be back in the classroom and working toward my goal of being a school counselor! I am also blessed to be taking both of my classes with a lady I have known pretty much my entire life. Lisa and I will be working together this semester on our projects and pretty much encouraging eachother to be able to make it throught his touch schedule. It is nice to only have to go to classes for 8 weeks, but there is a lot of course work to cram into that short amount of time!

I have also been conviced this week to spend more personal time with the Lord. It has been a while since I have done a daily devotional. I am starting my journey with my sisters devotional cards of being a Virtuous Woman. You can check out her great products at Worthy of the Prize! If you have any suggestions for a good Women's Devotionaly to start in May please feel free to leave me a message telling me about it!

To go along with gettig my life in order with the Lord and exercise, I will also be trying to cook more and eat healthy. I was introduced to a great blog through Worthy of the Prize. The blog is done by a friend of mine, Sarah Kay. Her blog is called Carroll Creations. She gives great recipes that she does that are easy and healthy, just what I need!!

Spring Break Madness

SPRING BREAK 2010!!! A very eventful week...

Friday: The start of it all! Chuck and I went to Arlington to eat dinner and play games with some friends for Seth's birthday...it was a lot of fun!

Saturday: Such a crazy day! I got to Forth Worth early to help mom get the room decorated to Heather's shower that we have been working on for the past few weeks! After decorating the room, she made food and I went to pick up all of the things we had ordered! Everyone started showing up around 1:30 and we had a blast. Heather got a lot of great stuff and I cannot wait for the wedding. After the shower the Vick's (and Chuck), the Chaney's and the Pilgrim's all headed to Joe T's to relax and eat!



Sunday: In the morning I went to church and lunch with my sunday school class, since it was so nice we picked up food and headed to the park for a picnic. After lunch I headed back to the church for another bridal shower for Magean, my old roommate! After the shower the girls stayed after to help them address and stuff the invitations!



Monday: My first day at a relaxed schedule was spend in the yard. I cleaned up the flower beds in the front and added a little fertilizer and got a jump on the back yard. I decided I would spend teh day in the yard then head to mom and dad's around 4:30 to hang out with the fam for Seth's birthday. I continued to work in the yard for a while then went to the neighbors to borrow some tools. With the people that live in my neighborhood a 5 minute trip to into 45 minutes of catching up! Love it! I eventually made it home to shower and head to Fort Worth. When I got in the car and headed that way I realized that the clock in the car said it was 6...not 5, apparently I never re-set teh watch that I was wearing and was an hour behind the entire day...oops!
Tuesday: My Meghan came to town!!! When she got to the house she was really tired of sitting in the car, so I thought a little yard work would do her some good! We got the flower beds in the backyard ready to be planted! Last year we planted the front yard and it looked awesome, now it's time to do the back...it's gonna be a big project! After all that work in the yard we headed to Cheddar's for dinner and Lowe's just to look around. After our outting it was back to the house to watch a movie and relax!


Wednesday: In the morning Meghan and I went for a run...wow I am out of shape, but it was nice to get out and be active! After that she went to Dallas for a meeting at UT Dallas. While she was gone I did a little cleaning and got ready to meet her and Chuck for lunch. After lunch we went out to TCU so she could check out the campus...I think she would really fit in well there...GO FROGS!!


Thursday: It was Meghan's last day in town...I was very sad to see her go :( We hung out in teh morning before the left for a lunch meeting and to drive back. That afternoon I ran a bunch of erronds to get ready for our cookout! I even went by school to check on my class fish...even after 5 days without food he was still alive!! Chuck came over around 4 to help cook and the rest of the gang showed up around 6:30. We ate out of the patio and attemped to enjoy a game of bocce ball, but Rachel's dog ran off with the target ball. By the time we got it back from him we had lost interest in the game...sad :( So instead we just decided to watch a little tv!

Friday: This was my day to be a kid! I went to six flags with Vonda and Deborah!! I don't think I ever realized how many people make out while standing in line...gross! The biggest part of the day was when we waited 2 and a half hours to ride the titan...totally worth the wait!

Saturday: Most of the day Saturday was spent at home. I did make it out for breakfast with Elizabeth and Danielle and a trip to Lowe's...thhe best store ever!!! In the afternoon I did some laundry and worked around the house. That night was the BHS Basketball Banquet. The speech I gave at the banquet was better than the one I gave at volleyball...I didn't say anything to embarras myself!!

Sunday: This awesome week is coming to an end and all I was able to do was sit on the couch with Chuck and be a bum! It was a nice relazing day that I needed to get ready for school on Monday.
