I am quirky, too!

Okay, so I'm not all spiffy and I don't know how to get the little icon....but I know I got tagged by Sarah to name 7 quirky things about myself, SO HERE GOES!

1) I keep chapstick with me at all times. I CANNOT live without it. I have five different kinds in my purse right now!

2) I have to press snooze at least two times in the morning. (Sorry, Tim!)

3) When I use the microwave, I leave the left over time up...and it drives Tim nuts haha!

4) I am obsessed with cleaning my livingroom and kitchen.

5) I have to hang up ALL of my tshirts and hang them in order of color- Black, brown, blue, purple, red, orange, yellow, grey, and white.

6) I shower multiple times a day.

7) I never finish what I am drinking...there is always something left in the can or the cup. (and I don't drink my cereal milk)

I know I have tons more, but those are few. Haha

If all my readers could keep my granny in your prayers, that would be wonderful! She has breast cancer, so it's scary, but they caught it early. So, prayers please. AND, granny I heard that you read this so I want you to know that I love you! (you too, Papa!)

This weekend went by way too fast!

Another week come and gone...

I am sitting at work passing the last 10 minutes, and I figured this would be a good way to do so. It is Friday and for that I am incredibly thankful! This was not a bad week at all, but the weekends are always more than welcomed! I am incredibly excited about tonight...Tim and I are going on a DATE! Who says you can't go on dates once you're married??

My husband is the best. We were just laughing together last night remembering that our first meal was at Arby's! We went to Arby's in our mock wedding outfits and a just married car. We were so hungry, we didn't want to wait! I never thought I would love someone so much...God truly created something amazing!

We are visiting another church on Sunday. I am pretty excited, we both have a good feeling about this one...so pray for us! I applied for two scholarships today...so pray for that, too!

Tim has cooked for us twice this week! He is a great cheif, might I add! He made some wonderful chicken and then last night twice baked potatoes! What a catch!!

God keeps blessing us! Life is wonderful :-)

Sleep habits

One of the biggest surprises of marriage has been the sleep habits of my husband, Tim. Before we got married, he swore to me that he layed on his stomach with his hands pulled in and did not move at all (like he would know since he was asleep, right? haha). Well, I have learned that is NOT what happens. He changes positions a lot and talks. Many nights I am awaken and I can't help but laugh at the funny things he does in his sleep. One night he was on a roll! He woke up at one point talking about his feet and when I said "what?" he mumbled something and fell back asleep. Later that night, he rolled over and patted my leg and was still asleep. After that, he rolled over and put his arms around me and said, "no shower." And I asked him, "you don't want ME to take a shower?" and he said, "no" and then I asked, "do you not want to take a shower?" and he mumbled and was out again. He does things like this many nights, but I can't always make out what he says. Last week, he mumbled something about moving rocks. Last night, he mumbled something about food, but I couldn't make out what he said. The funniest thing he has done happened last night as he was falling asleep! I was facing away from him and I heard like a smacking noise. He was kissing his hand! He woke up and was like, 'oh my gosh, that's not you!" It was so funny, somehow he thought he was kissing me...so I kissed him and laughed for a while.
On another note, I woke up myself up last week punching the air...haha I've never done that before, Tim must be rubbing off on me. I was punching this guy in my dream and lo and behold, I awoke taking a cheap shot in thin air!

I have my first test and my first peer teaching today! Wish me luck! This weekend we are coming to Arlington to visit my family, then to Cool to visit the grandparents and then Sunday to Ennis! Busy, busy weekend!

I hope your week is going splendidly!

Hello old friend...

It's definitely been a while since my last post. As suspected, school beginning has taken over my life and no longer do I have time to dawdle around on the internet.I should be reading and working on endless MINDLESS projects for my classes...but I think it's good to unwind a bit.

My classes this semester are not that bad. Sometimes I get really tired of classes that feel like an insult to my intelligence. I feel like I am wasting my time and money on certain classes that will go unnamed. Anyways, I am definitely thankful that it's a light load even if I still have a lot to do. Projects, projects, projects...and they're all the SAME just for different subjects! Venting completed.

It's weird to have wifely duties. When I get home from work, I usually have an hour until class. So, I do dishes. When I get out of class, I go home a straighten the house, vacuum, make the bed, sort the mail, clean the bathroom, and the kitchen (I can't stand a dirty kitchen...or even a dirty house for that matter!). Then, I sit and I read or work on whatever assignment or project I have until Tim gets home. Tuesdays and thursdays I go to class and get home at 6:30 and cook dinner afterwards. Then, I clean up dinner and spend the small remaining time left with my husband. I have never been much of a clean freak...but now that this is our HOME, I cannot stand for anything to be out of place. Ask Tim haha. I like that I have routine, but it's just funny to look at myself as a wife.

This week we began our Journey program here at ETBU. Journey is an organization that gives freshman upperclassmen mentors aka "mom and dad" and brothers and sisters that are all freshmen, too. They meet once a week for bible study and encouragement and then hang out and build relationships all semester. For this organization, I am a coordinator. Monday went AMAZING. We have done a lot of preparation and retreats and meetings and we finally began! We had almost 200 freshman show up!! Our moms and dads this year are amazing....all spirit led passionate people who want to be RELATIONAL. I am so stoked. It takes up a lot of time, but it's so worth it!

Tim and I are church hopping. Lucky for me, chapel on Wednesday was a church fair. So, I got to go around and meet people from different churches and see what they had to offer. Two churches in particular stuck out and we will be visiting them in the coming weeks. I talked to the youth pastors of both churches and both were so excited that I brought up Tim and I wanting to help with youth! We want to work with youth, just not full time. So, I am incredibly excited about checking them out and seeing where God wants us! In fact, one of the youth pastors emailed me personally. Pretty cool...I hope we find where we need to be!

I should probably update this more often so that I don't write novels every post.
