Justin & Amber's Engagement Photo's

Some pictures from Justin and Amber's engagement session :) It was such a fun day, Justin and I taking photos, freezing cold winds/snow, and a good time with some friends :)

Finally! Some Motivation!

I'm finally feeling motivated to get my business math course done! I sat down after completing a math test and wondered how many I had left to accomplish. I've gone through and paper-clipped

every section to show myself where my tests are. Just a side note: this book is pretty thick. There are nine sections left. I figure I can generally force myself to do an entire section in one day, so If I do one section per day and then a test the next day I can complete the course within 18 days. Twenty max I figure.

I'm eager to see if it's gonna work. Maybe I'll reward myself by painting my room if I actually do it! I'll update my blog semi-daily if possible :)

If you'll excuse me however, I figure I can get one section done today :)

My mother and I went on a bit of a road trip today. We were mainly just practicing my highway/driving skills and decided it would be a good time to pick up some tights that I needed for upcoming competitions (first one is on my birthday weekend:) ). At the same time we managed to come across some really good bargains (dance pants, leotard, and a shirt). I made mention of longing for a pair of real jazz shoes as I'm finding that my long hours during teaching my feet get really painful from all the moving around I do. So! I am finally a proud owner of some Bloch Jazz Shoes! YAY! plus the lady gave me ten percent off because of where I work! double yay!

oh p.s. Just found a wonderful blog! http://www.positivityblog.com/ You should check it out! :)

French Onion Soup!

My lovely wonderful friend Mel gave me her Martha Stewart Living cookbook a couple days ago and I couldn't wait to use it! I've already tried out the French Onion Soup recipe and it was delish! Plus it was gone within a few hours :)

Best Friends? Duh!

My wonderful best friend came over this past weekend and we ended up staying up super late, watching mamma mia, and my big fat greek wedding, made a couple music videos, took some shots, and ultimately got to catch up and hang out:) (we actually made two videos but I'm way to lazy to wait for two of these things to upload!!!)

I know I'm going to have a good day/evening when... my contacts go in without a hassle

Daisy's

Some of my close friends know that daisies are my absolute favorite flower, as well as my birth flower. :) Justin always gets me daisies and I've recently moved my latest bouquet (from valentines day) to my window sill in my room, and I love it! I'm making my self a promise to keep a bouquet there all spring/summer long!

Can You Hear This?

check it out, it's pretty cool! It's basically a hearing test.

Matching Shoes?

Okay when I came across this photo via Le Love, my cornballish/romantic side came out (which doesn't happen often) and pretty much instantly wished Justin and I had matching shoes! The chance of this happening though is really low though I think since Jus generally likes his shoes to have good support and have a feeling it would be hard to find matching shoes that were cute (and manly) and have good support. So for now I'll just wish.

Note to Self:

Your work uniform is a skin tight leotard, tights, and basically anything that's spandex.

You're in shape. You can bend in ways most people can't.

You look fantastic. SO STOP JUDGING YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR AND STOP CHECKING THE NUTRITION FACTS FOR CALORIES AND FAT CONTENT! ahem.

Basically I've come a across my first pair of pants that I can't quite squeeze into and had a meltdown and decided it meant that I needed to lose weight. I've since realized I am 120 pounds, and I'm in terrific shape and always will be with my wonderful job.

Please ignore the old hair in the photo.

Why Yes I Collect Tupperware!

I cannot lie. I LOVE tupperware! My mother use to sell it so we have an entire (huge) cupboard thing dedicated to holding it all. I've grown up with it and love it! I keep inheriting different pieces and I've started buying some of my own as well<3>

2009

My wonderful, and beautiful best friend Sare introduced me to this tumblr when she heard about how my day had gone and now I want to share it with you! David Horvitz posts inspirational and calming things to do during our day/week/months. I'm completely loving it! I can't wait to try some of them out! Hope you have a phenomenal day :)

To all, to each, a fair good-night, and pleasing dreams, and slumbers light"

Frustration

I don't think frustrated even begins to cover what I'm feeling. Flustered, angered, impatient, pissed, discontented, irked, stymied.. my list goes on. I honestly don't know how many of my friends visit this blog so i'll avoid names however it really isn't that hard to figure out.

My day actually started out wonderful, I'm on day three of waking up at exactly the right time, getting my nephew to his bus stop in good time, coming how to sleep for about another 45 minutes, and then getting up and going. I got a lot of school work accomplished (and now have a million tests/quizzes) and ate half decently.

I had a quick shower, got my contact lenses in without a hassle, got dressed and was out the door and got my banking done and met with my wonderful friend Corrina right on time. We had a lovely time getting our shopping done for our musical theater costume (we play a couple of guys from bye bye birdie) and had time to sit and eat some disgusting McDonalds and (Justin don't kill me) gossiped a slight bit and talked about some things that were irking us.

a couple hours later a few of our irritations happened yet again (hopefully that made sense). Basically it had to do with this: money, moodiness, disrespect for teachers, stubbornness, whines, and complaining. needless to say I came home in a slight grump. Which I really hate doing, because lately I've been taking it out on my parents which is really not fair to them at all. So instead of getting annoyed to find my dad sitting where I needed to sit to get some stuff done.. I told him I needed a hug from my daddy. This helped me to start relaxing and we had a good long talk about stuff that was bothering/upsetting me.

funny.. now that I'm typing this out I'm realizing how I let a lot of little stuff bother me when I should be just letting it go. Life is way to short to let the little things get to me. I should just smile and let it go and deal with it! Except when it comes to that money bit.. I need to get a couple people to understand that I can't afford to buy a $100 plus jacket when I've already spent that much on the costume it's self.

ARRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.. okay I kinda feel like screaming, however everyone else in my household is in bed. oh well. Find the silver lining..

okay sorry for the huge dump but it had to come out. Thanks for your patience :)

God Bless

Marvelous Monday!

I was not looking forward to waking up AT ALL today so I decided to sleep in a tad bit and in the process managed to miss my friend and mentor Amanda dropping off a wonderful surprise. However she left a message on my phone to tell me it was waiting at the door.. so when I got to the door there was my Tupperware order! I am so extremely happy right now! YAY YAY YAY! It also came with a flyer to show me what's on sale. I know what I'm purchasing next!

oh wow! Hilarious way to start my day! freaked my parents and lovebirds out :D
