A whole new world, a dazzling place I never knew!

My title has absolutely nothing to do with my post...often times they don't.

Last night Tim and Jeff had their soccer championship game, and they sadly lost. My team also played our championship game...we lost, too. I scored our only goal though! I also pulled my hamstring pretty bad...all in the love of intramurals! Too bad I don't get a tshirt out of that one...

This weekend is coming fast, and I am definitely ready for it. I have had so many projects and papers, it's time for a break! It's too bad that I have one more big project due the next week, a test, and a final. BUT, I am almost there. I know that the next semesters are NOT going to be any easier...in fact they get busier and harder...but, a break will so so nice. I can't wait until I can just go to work and not have to worry about class over Christmas break. I guess it'd be nice to not worry about either, but gotta make that money and pay those bills!

I am ready for this week, but then again...although traveling is nice and I love to be with family...I know it's going to be exhausting. Luckily, we get to have a Thanksgiving with both families! HOORAY! I am just praying that this one will be a little more tame than the last.

I hope everyone enjoys their holiday!

**EDIT**
So, I'm sitting here thinking about the things I want. When my mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas...there wasn't anything really that I wanted. The things that I want are unrealistic not possible for the time being. Examples...
- I want a baby. This is not okay for many reasons. One, there is absolutely no way on earth that would be financially feasible right now. Two, Tim and I definitely need a few years to enjoy just us and cherish that time. Three, I haven't graduated yet, and being pregnant could DEFINITELY make things difficult.
- I want a dog. This is not okay because we are not allowed to have pets where we live. There are stray dogs everywhere that we could rescue, but alas, no animals allowed.
- I want to graduate. Well, duh, this is not feasible because obviously I have three whole semesters left.
- I want to know where we'll be in a year and a half...well, that's God's timing and not mine. SO, who knows when we will find out that bit of info!

So, if you ask me what I want for Christmas...I don't really know...I just know that I'm getting ahead of myself.

I copied Sarah...

So, here's to procrastination and blogging!
I have copied Sarah's Simple Woman's Daybook.

FOR TODAY Tuesday, Novemeber 18...
Outside my window...I can see the parking lot...but I feel the coolness from the outside which makes me smile. I love cold weather. I just gave a tour of our campus in this cold weather.

I am thinking...that I have two more projects I need to finish in the next few days, so I really should be reading right now.

I am thankful for...this Sunday. We went back to Crossroads and it felt good to be there. I think we are going back next Sunday.

From the learning rooms...I have two classes today. I have a classroom management which I love, and a math class tonight that my attitude has been poor about. The math class is not bad, but I get so frustrated with it because it is so late. I need to not be a poop about it.

From the kitchen...tonight, I am not cooking! Tim is making his infamous twice baked potatoes...oh they are sooooo good!

I am wearing...my Rec-ing crew shirt with a black undershirt...it makes me smile to remember those awesome times at Children's camp. I love getting people excited...that's why I work for admissions at ETBU.

I am creating...a movie for my science class, annotated bibliographies for my Adolescent literature class (I love this class!) and working on a math notebook with article reviews.

I am going...to clean at some point today...

I am reading...Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants for my Ad lit class.

I am hoping...That God clearly shows us (Tim and me) where we need to be after I graduate.

I am hearing...a lawn mower close to our house...otherwise it's just me in my apartment clicking the keys away.

Around the house...there are guitar hero guitars laying out and our running shoes on the ground from when we played raquetball and crashed on the floor to play guitar hero.

One of my favorite things...is falling asleep beside my husband everynight.

A few plans for the rest of the week:
-Finish the three projects
-Win soccer playoffs
-Go to Ennis this weekend.
-Not go crazy.
Here is picture thought I am sharing...




This is a clip from the movie I am making for my science class. It's a slowmation movie that Emily and I made out of playdough. We took tons of pictures and barely movied things so that it would be animated. This took forever...

Rainy day

Three projects, a test, and reading two books are on the agenda for the week! Next week I have to do annotated bibliographies for those two books, two article reviews, and a TEKS notebook...my goodness! Maybe by Thanksgiving I'll be able to breathe...until then I will sit here and slave away as I listen to the wonderful rain!

I have not been sleeping well the past two weeks. I wake up a lot, so in the morning, no matter how much sleep I get, I don't feel rested. Last night I had three dreams about going to the moon. In the first dream, we were chosen by a church group with Sarah and Jeff to go to the moon! In the second dream, we went with one of our married couple friends Sarah and Matt. The last dream, we we won some contest to go. Before we left in the third dream, we went to this big convention that was very crowded and there was a hockey game going on, shopping, people everwhere! I got separated from my family and I didn't have a cell phone so I laid down on this cot and waited. It was strange...maybe God wants me to be an astronaut!

Kristin came in this weekend and it was awesome! I love my cousin...I forget how good of a friend she is. Tim and I definitely enjoyed her company. One night we went over to Jeff and Sarah's and Nena and Ken were there...so we just had a big party!

That's just about all going on in my life at this point...dreaming big and not sleeping (oxymoron?). Soccer playoffs are next week and I am extremely excited!

Have a nice week!
