Outside my window... there is sunshine and a pond.

I am thinking...that I miss our youth group. It'll be nice to have a Wednesday night off...but I really miss our youth.

I am thankful for...Vacation coming in 13 days!!

From the learning rooms...empty?

From the kitchen...we are having fajitas tonight!! I tried a new recipe this week I got from Sheryl and it's taquito casserole! YUM!

I am wearing...work out shorts and an ETBU shirt.

I am creating...fajitas tonight.

I am going...to work in a bit. I opened this morning in the healthplex and we have a very tour filled day at work today.

I am reading...The third Harry Potter book. It's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I gave in and started reading the series and I am enjoying it a lot! I went through the first two books a week ago and I started the third one today.

I am hoping...it doesn't get too hot today.

I am hearing...ESPN SportsCenter in the living room...one of my favorites :0)

Around the house...just me...and a sink full of dishes waiting to be washed.

One of my favorite things...is the Dallas Stars and Mrs. Baird's Doughnuts!! YUM!

Outside my window... I see a baseball field. I am at the Healthplex about to wrap up my shift here...then I get to workout...joy.

I am thinking...that it's insane I only have two semesters of college left! I only have one semester of actual classes and then student teaching. SO excited!

I am thankful for...my husband. He is such a wonderful person.

From the learning rooms...no learning in summer :0)

From the kitchen...no cooking last night :0) We had an oven pizza from Walmart, you know those premade kind?? They are sooo good! I did get a new recipe from Lauren and Sheryl though! I am going to try it soon!

I am wearing...gym shorts and a tshirt.

I am creating...well I framed some pictures last night, so not creating really but creating a more personalized home.

I am going...to work out at 9:30 and then my next job at 1.

I am reading...maybe Harry Potter soon? I have never read them...

I am hoping...that I don't die today when I work out.

I am hearing...sports center on the gym tv

Around the house...I hung new pictures!!

One of my favorite things...pizza! I really love pizza more than I should.

A few plans for the rest of the week...work, work, Colin's party, and Kristin is coming!!!

A picture I want to share...

This is a picture from our 1 year anniversary date! He surprised me with a big bag of goodies. He woke up at 8:00 and went a got me a bunch of fun things that went with a sweet note. Like one sentence was "you are sweeter than strawberry shortcakes" with a box of stawberry shortcakes inside. Then we went to Olive Garden, played some Lunar Golf, and then dessert at Cheddar's. It was so much fun!! I love him so much!

Bang to Bland

This weekend was fun! It was great to see my family, we don't get to see them often. Friday night we hung out and the boys played softball and we came back and grilled hamburgers and shot fireworks. It was so fun to be with family and friends! We were sad when we had to leave...but that was not the end of the weekend. Saturday Tim and I hung out with my parents and had amazing brisket! I love spending time with my parents. That night, Tim and I went with Kristin, Sarah, and Colin to Joe Pool Lake and we watched the fireworks show followed by Whataburger and hanging out at Kristin's CUTE apartment! I love it! It's HUGE! Sunday, I guess we just couldn't bear to leave yet so we ended going back to my Granny and Papa's to hang out with family one more time before we left. All that to say, we got back at 12am last night and now I am sitting at work tired and wishing it was the weekend again! It was so much fun! I love my family :0)

Tim called me this morning to tell me that I had a flat tire. I don't think it was flat when I drove to work because I would have noticed. But, he drove by it after I had gotten to work and I had a flat tire. He aired it up, so maybe it was just incredibly low and not a flat...I hope. If it is a real flat that makes a flat, a drivers side door that doesn't work from the outside, a cracked windshield, and a shaky steering wheel. Poor car :0( Juan, my car, needs some attention...

So Mondays are dull...but maybe yours will be more exciting than mine :0)

No title today

We are back from camp! Well, we've been back from camp since Friday...so almost for a week now. I can't say that sleep wise I am completely recovered. I had to work the Saturday after we got back from 8-5 so I didn't sleep in then, then church was Sunday again no sleeping in, then Monday and Tuesday I woke up at 6:50 for work and today I woke up at 5:30 for work...so I am anxiously awaiting Friday so I can get some good sleep. But, camp was so awesome! Not just for the kids, but for me as well. It was refreshing. Also, I was able to get to know the junior high students a lot better since we spent a week with them. I had a blast and I think many of the students learned some important things about what being a Christian is really about. I pray they continually apply these truths and challenges to their lives. Coming back to work was so lame compared to how much fun last week was...but that's life.

32 days until we leave for Port Aransas! I am so excited! I went tanning on Tuesday (trying to get a base tan so I don't completely fry at the beach) and I burned! My belly looks like a piggy belly. Anyways, I can't wait to go!!! This will also be little Colin's first trip to the beach! I know he'll love it!

Me and Tim's one year anniversary is creeping up on us fast! I can't believe that this time last year I was about to start counting down in the single digits! Ahh! It's been a wonderful year! I love him so much, he is the best :-)

Originally for the fourth of July we were going to Ennis...but the family is going to go out of town to Big Lake so we may go to Arlington, we may stay here...I'm not sure what is going on. So, for those of you in Arlington, we may get to see y'all!

Aaaand, that concludes my no big news post.
