Grumpy!!!

I don't know what was wrong with me this week! I was so grumpy all week and I really didn't have a reason. Mike was very sweet though. He brought home flowers one day and dinner another day. I even woke up to him doing dishes and laundry on Saturday morning. Hopefully, I can start this week with a much better attitude and not let things get to me. I know that I am in control and I can be positive.

I am amazed sometimes when I realize how much I am responsible for at school. Maybe I'll plan a day or two of irresponsibility soon! :)

Spring Break!!!


Spring Break was great! Mike and I stayed in town but had plenty to do! Here is the break down for the week!

Saturday/Sunday- We got up early to help cook breakfast at the Ronald McDonald house. We had a great time with everyone and loved every minute! We did miss church though because apparently I was impossible to wake up...shame on me.

Monday- We ran all of our necessary errands that we have put off for a couple of weeks. We also met with all of the band directors in the Klein Forest cluster for planning. I totally forgot to wear green and one of the guys pinched me really hard...but I defended myself! :)

Tuesday- We took both vehicles in for oil changes and such. My car was very affordable while Mike's truck reminded us why we didn't really have the money to go anywhere for Spring Break.

Wednesday- We went to see the Pompeii exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts that we have wanted to see for months! Unfortunately, it fell short of our expectations. We did receive the new cell phones we ordered and that kept us busy for a while.

Thursday- Jury Duty! This is the first time I actually had to go since I am no longer a student. I am still too chicken to drive around downtown so Mike agreed to take me. I was so nervous that I thought I was going to cry or throw up. I don't know what made me feel so anxious...I guess I am always kind of scared when I don't know what to expect. It was great though because I was only there for about two hours! None of the courts needed jurors because they were going to be closed for Good Friday the next day! Since I was done early, we went to Katy for lunch and shopping! :)

Friday- We met one of my friends from High School for lunch and did a little shopping. Then, we dusted, swiffered, Clorox wiped, vacuumed, washed, and febreezed the entire apartment...including the dog! My parents arrived and loved what I made for dinner! :)

Saturday/Sunday- My parents came to visit over Easter weekend! I was so excited because I haven't seen them since Christmas and they both needed some stress relief. We spent most of Saturday doing some shopping for my mom. I was very surprised when my parents asked to go to church with us because they usually have no interest. The message was perfect for some of the things my parents are currently struggling with! It really was a blessing!

Monday morning came too soon for me...and Mike had the day off. Since he had the day off, he drove me to school and brought me lunch. I did feel relaxed and ready to take on the last eleven weeks of school. My day was a blur but I definitely got myself organized and prepared for all of the state testing that is coming up. I was also able to take care of some ESL paperwork and tasks I had been putting off.

Sadie!


This is our new dog Sadie! We adopted her today after church from the people at Houston Beagle and Hound Rescue. She is very sweet and very quiet. She weighs about 23 lbs and is just under 13 inches. She already loves her bed and likes to be petted constantly. We have been wanting a dog for a while and so far she is a perfect fit for us. Mike is amazed at how calm and well behaved she is. I'm not sure when, but I think I'll definitely bring her to at least one softball game.

Mike Is 25!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE! :)

He is 25 years old today!

(Last year when he was turning 24, I actually had him convinced for a while that he was turning 25. This year I tried to convince him he was turning 30 but he didn't fall for it.)

I'm Afraid Of Ice Skating!

My family has never understood why I don't like ice skating! It all started way back when I was little and someone told me if you fall on the ice a person could skate over your fingers and cut them off. You wouldn't think it would be such a big deal since I live in Texas but my entire family is from Wisconsin and they love hockey. Eventually, I did realize that it is highly unlikely for me to have my fingers cut off by an ice skater...but I still prefer to operate on the theory that it was even more unlikely if I don't ever ice skate.

While I was watching ESPN after school today I saw a story that has given me a new reason to never ice skate! A hockey player for the Florida Panthers underwent surgery because his teamate's skate cut his carotid artery and just missed his jugular vein during a game. It was a crazy accident! His teammate was knocked over by the other team and went head first into the ice which meant skate first into his own teammate's neck.

Check out the story: http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=3240651

I realize that the chances of me getting cut in the neck by an ice skate is about as likely as my fingers getting cut off...but I'm not even that good at ice skating anyway... :)

I Love My Jeans!


I am definitely a girl who loves to shop for just about anything! Don't get the wrong idea...I spend lots of time shopping and very little time actually spending money. I have an idea in my head of what I want and if I don't love what I find I'm not willing to settle. I usually have trouble finding clothes that fit me...but last weekend was totally different.
A salesperson introduced me to the long and lean style of jeans at GAP and they are the best jeans I have ever worn! Cindy loves them and said that they are Oprah's favorite jeans too! I don't agree with Oprah about everything, but I would definitely endorse these. Whoever decided to make long and lean jeans for women who do not consider themselves long and lean definitely made my weekend. They fit perfectly and I feel great when I wear them. If you don't love your jeans, you should try a pair!

Happy Holidays!


I really miss everyone from church! It feels like it has been forever since we have seen anyone!

Mike and I are doing well! We are enjoying our time with our family and friends in Dallas! I hope everyone is doing well and we will see you soon! :)
