It's now July and school has been over for almost 2 months. I had such a wonderful semester! I met awesome new people and made Dean's list again (hey, it feels good when you do well!) It was a tough semester but I'm sure it'll seem like a piece of cake once this next semester starts (senior year). I'll be doing 2 full days of student teaching. I'm so used to co-teaching that I'm a nervous wreck to do it on my own! haha. No choice but to push through and do well!</span></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So what have I been up to over the last 5 months?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In February, it was cold and winter was hanging around for a while. M and I celebrated Valentine's day with dinner.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdxmbWXd5kLWbvwyTLnPpuMOvVlcbMtyUyFDlzixu54SjUw33qXQadteMjZqwaQNNaY4g8F5ceGlD9R-aRaL1XZL22wcPNdx1RCVTBTdxyhuFC5ePDzsJ_1J-VeKdMr6GR9mD-VYecGQY/s1600/DSCN1121.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdxmbWXd5kLWbvwyTLnPpuMOvVlcbMtyUyFDlzixu54SjUw33qXQadteMjZqwaQNNaY4g8F5ceGlD9R-aRaL1XZL22wcPNdx1RCVTBTdxyhuFC5ePDzsJ_1J-VeKdMr6GR9mD-VYecGQY/s320/DSCN1121.JPG" t$="true" width="320" /></span></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">March, crazy month with school so I don't think much fun was had, haha.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">April, school was in full force (thank goodness for friends who are going through the same exact thing and keep you sane during it all!) We even got to take a trip to the aquarium (the joys of being an elem. ed major haha)</span></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">May - this month couldn't come soon enough. It was the end of the semester! Finals were intense but once they were over, I could breathe a sigh of relief!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Not sure why I don't have ANY pictures from May until now, but I'm sad about it! I didn't take pictures of my mom's or Matt's bday, the pictures that I took from when I went to the beach are on my broken phone (dropped it down the steps, but hey, now I have the white iPhone so it was worth it! haha), and no pics from the 4th of July. Waaa.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Fast forward to now - summer has been good so far.. I work everyday but I babysit and take the kiddos to the pool so it's fun :) I better enjoy it now while I can haha. Lately we've been under a MASSIVE heat wave though! I'm sure you girls down south can relate. I checked the weather on my phone today and saw this.. unbelievable: Look at the "FEELS LIKE" temp.. how is that possible in Maryland?! So gross.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9_RTLaivysnv6SGeGZ9ZyVCkGd51G3mUgKQVIlG_0xHpYm3ewAebRz4hH6xqgde2aukXw-pYUfsWdC5fBBLaC9pUF9Ef-o9lULSOpDC07E43YuPe6DP21yD-sIvbVyXaLCbX21U6igxU/s1600/photo.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9_RTLaivysnv6SGeGZ9ZyVCkGd51G3mUgKQVIlG_0xHpYm3ewAebRz4hH6xqgde2aukXw-pYUfsWdC5fBBLaC9pUF9Ef-o9lULSOpDC07E43YuPe6DP21yD-sIvbVyXaLCbX21U6igxU/s400/photo.PNG" t$="true" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">School starts for me in a little more than 3 weeks (I start when the teachers do) so I'm trying to relax as much as I can.. I'm placed at a school that is 5 min from the bf's house so it's pretty convenient.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">On another note, went to the doctor today for a check up and noticed that I have gained 5 lbs in a year! Wth?! This past year was stressful though. I need to get motivated and get back to where I was. <strong>Does anyone know of great workout dvd's?</strong> It's more convenient to work out at my house than drive 20 some min. to the gym (i do have a membership though, just completely out of the way)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Leaving tomorrow for the beach! I'll be back Monday though. Have a fun weekend :)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I hope ALL of you are doing well, enjoying summer (hopefully taking a vacay) and staying happy!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

Has it really been 5 months since I've blogged last?! How pathetic on my part. To my followers/readers out there, if I still have any.. sorry I've been MIA for so long! I sure have missed blogging but it was a nice break and sometimes, life just happens and you get so side tracked by everything else. I will be doing an update soon enough but I just wanted to stop in, say hi and hope your lives are going great! Leave a comment if you'd like to update me on your life, haha :)</span></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So this past weekend, M and I went to a gala for his work. We had such a great time. Free food and open bar with lots of friends there as well. I actually ran into someone I went to elementary school with - small world!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS7RttU8FTZEEcb38aZUVUmkLgNOzXWfjrxx7tlhuZOb5jlZCEf4NW3SnHWknza0HU_4O3IVwzdGG5C69_RKWOAHlxx1ZyJC17EnUMXLRiW3NykXaqGuFiPFFUEaku3LAfIVGjMnFGukA/s1600/DSCN1086.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" s5="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS7RttU8FTZEEcb38aZUVUmkLgNOzXWfjrxx7tlhuZOb5jlZCEf4NW3SnHWknza0HU_4O3IVwzdGG5C69_RKWOAHlxx1ZyJC17EnUMXLRiW3NykXaqGuFiPFFUEaku3LAfIVGjMnFGukA/s400/DSCN1086.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">me and M</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">does this dress look familiar?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wore it 3 yrs ago, haha.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is only the 2nd time I've worn it so I figured it was okay :)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Then Monday came and it was time to go to school. I went to the gym in the morning like I said I would and actually felt great doing it! But at 3 o'clock, I was exhausted. I actually went to bed that night at 8:30, haha.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">As for my classes, I'm taking Physical Science, a comp. class, Bio, concepts of math class (which I think I'll love because my teacher is amazing), Math internship and science internship. I start my math internship on Tuesday and I'm excited for that. I'll be in 2nd grade this semester!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">My days are long and my professors have already loaded up the work for us but I know I'll make it through. It's all about balance. However, blogging does fall to the back burner. As much as I love it, school is my #1 priority right now. I'd like to make Dean's list again this semester :)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">This weekend is the Super Bowl. Not to sure what we're doing yet though, or who I'm rooting for. Do I want the Steelers to win because they beat the Raven's? Or the <span style="background-color: #274e13; color: yellow;">Packers</span> because the <span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;">Steeler's</span> have won too many times?

It really lets me <strong>reflect</strong> <strong>on the good</strong>, instead of the bad or things I could complain about :) So thanks, Jamie!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>2.</strong> I'm loving that <strong>today is a snow day!</strong> We (Maryland) have really missed A LOT of snow storms this winter! (probably because we got enough last winter to last us for 5 future winters, haha) After this storm is over, we should have about 6-9 inches. I've been lounging all day and I'm taking FULL advantage of it because school starts this coming Monday! Yikes. Free time = GONE!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>3.</strong> I'm loving how long my hair is getting. However, I'm not loving how thin it has been feeling lately. <strong>I've been thinking of getting thickening shampoo and conditioner, but I'm not sure what kind to get. Any recommendations?</strong> Help a girl out! Yes, my hair is important to me, haha :)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>4. </strong>I'm not loving that school starts Monday BUT I am loving that I'll be back on a consistent schedule and will be able to get to the gym the same time most days as well as eat meals at consistent times. Life just flows better when you're on a schedule.. or maybe that's just my OCD saying so, haha.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Today's Top 2 Tuesday is all about healthy snacks</strong>. This is pretty easy for me since I live in a household where healthy eating is a priority. Of course, we still have snacks and things such as pizza, but we have healthier options. I could write a whole list of healthy snacks, but I'll only post my favorite 2.</span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>1. Fat Free Yogart (Light & Fit) and Kashi Cereal.</strong></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://images.meredith.com/fitness/images/2008/04/ss_16DannonLFVanilla.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="200" s5="true" src="http://images.meredith.com/fitness/images/2008/04/ss_16DannonLFVanilla.jpg" width="200" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://couponsavingfamily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Fiber-One-Cereal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="200" s5="true" src="http://couponsavingfamily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Fiber-One-Cereal.jpg" width="150" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I eat this yogart with a half cup of this cereal (serving size). I put a little bit of the cereal into each bite. It is SO delicious. In a half cup of this cereal is 60 calories and 14 grams of fiber. The cereal doesn't look yummy, but I promise it is! Plus, it's so healthy and full of great things! (Protein & Fiber)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">total carlories of this snack = 140 and SO filling.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You will be filled for at least 2 hours.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong>2. Kashi GoLean Crunchy Bars</strong></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://cdn.greenoptions.com/1/1a/265x265px-LS-1384511967200.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" s5="true" src="http://cdn.greenoptions.com/1/1a/265x265px-LS-1384511967200.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">When school starts again (next week, ahh!) I'm on the go; a lot. I don't always have time to eat a warm, healthy lunch or snack so I carry these with me. This and a bottle of water definitely holds me over. Chocolate peanut butter is my favorite. It has 9 grams of protein, 6 grams of fiber and only 180 calories. These bars make you thirsty so a bottle of water is a must!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Hope you try both of these snacks :)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">If you do, let me know if you like them!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

And bitterly cold. So here's to me rambling.<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.carissagraham.com/search/label/miscellany%20monday"><img alt="Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters" hspace="none" src="http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt255/ElvishAuthoress/MMbutton3.png" vspace="none" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong>1.</strong> It was FREEZING this weekend. I mean a high of 15 degrees. (sorry to those who are suffering with FAR worse temps.) Totally not normal for MD though. I could hibernate and honestly be happy. Me and cold weather do not like each other. I did go out for dinner and drinks on Saturday night though with M. However, I felt like Randy from the movie A Christmas Story because I was SO bundled up.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong>2.</strong> We watched the playoffs yesterday. Glad to see the Packers win; Steelers, egh not so much. I was rooting for the Jets since the Steelers have 2 Superbowl rings in the past 6 years. I mean, isn't it time for someone else to win? M was happy though because his dad is a BIG Steelers fan.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong>3. </strong>As of next Monday, I will be one busy bee. Here's how the schedule is looking:</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><u>Mon:</u> Gym: 7:30 AM - 9AM</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> Class: 10AM - 4:20PM</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><u>Tues:</u> Class: 8:30AM - 3:40 PM</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> Gym: 4 PM</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><u>Wed:</u> Same as Monday</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><u>Thurs:</u> Gym: 9AM - 10:30AM</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> Class: 12:30PM - 4:20PM</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><u>Fri:</u> Work and gym (until my boss doesn't work anymore. then this will become a homework day)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(Parking is TERRIBLE at school so I have to get there with enough time to get lucky and get a spot or stalk someone to take their spot. It's so annoying) </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not too too bad. I have two internships and the rest are classes (all math & science, yuck.)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong>4. </strong>M and I have a gala to go to this weekend. I'm quite excited for it :) We get to dress up!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>5. </strong>I just started reading the book Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult. I've never read any of her books before but my boss gave me about 5. So far, I'm really into it. I'm hoping I finish it before school starts. I know she wrote My Sister's Keeper. I didn't read that but I saw the movie and cried like a baby, haha. Have any of you read this book by her or others? </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong>6.</strong> That's all I have for today.. Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend.</span></div><br />

There is no other way to put it. My boss told me the other day that she will be quitting her job to stay home with the kids. While I think this is awesome for her, it's not so much for me. To be a stay-at-home mom would bring her so much joy. She is an amazing mother and her kids deserve that. Her last day will be some time in March. This semester I would only be working for her one day anyway because I am taking 18 credits but she would be using me 2 or 3 days this summer.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But to be honest, I could CARE LESS about the money or the job. I've come to love these children like their my own. I absolutely adore them, as well as my boss and her husband. I've had plenty of jobs in the past and have nannied for families before, but this is just different. This is like my second family.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2 1/2 years ago when I was job searching, it never crossed my mind that I would find a family like them. They welcomed me with open arms from day one and bend over backwards to make sure I am happy. From the times of paying me extra "just because" or picking me up something because they know I would like it. To say that they make me feel appreciated would be an understatement. It makes me sad to think that I won't see them every week like I do now. Yes, I know I can go visit because they live close, but it's just not the same. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">My boss has told me that I will be the first they call to watch the kids if they need a sitter and I am welcome over anytime I want. It's just that I am so used to seeing them every week and taking care of the girls that I am going to miss them.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">This will be a sad time for everyone involved, but I will make sure I visit them, even if it's just twice a month, because it's not fair to M and A that I stop coming around just because they're mom isn't working anymore. To disappear from a child's life like that isn't good for them. These little girls are my heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">But this isn't goodbye.. change is never easy though.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I read this book in 3 days. If you love Lifetime Movies, you will LOVE this book. It's unlike anything he has ever written. I stayed up wayyy past my bedtime to finish it :) </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong>The book gives this description:</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small North Carolina town of Southport, her sudden arrival raises questions about her past. Beautiful yet self-effacing, Katie seems determined to avoid forming personal ties until a series of events draws her into two reluctant relationships: one with Alex, a widowed store owner with a kind heart and two young children; and another with her plainspoken single neighbor, Jo. Despite her reservations, Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in the close-knit community and becoming increasingly attached to Alex and his family. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">But even as Katie begins to fall in love, she struggles with the dark secret that still haunts and terrifies her . . . a past that set her on a fearful, shattering journey across the country, to the sheltered oasis of Southport. With Jo's empathic and stubborn support, Katie eventually realizes that she must choose between a life of transient safety and one of riskier rewards . . . and that in the darkest hour, love is the only true safe haven.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Go read it.

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today's Top 2 Tuesday is Top 2 Strange Addictions.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I don't think I have any strange "addictions"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">but I do have some strange habits.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

If I don't, I honestly cannot sleep. My lips feel naked without it, haha. I use it throughout the day as well but it must go on before bed. I also have to sleep with a water bottle right next to my bed on the floor. For some odd reason, I become extremely thirsty throughout the night. It happens after I brush my teeth. I think it's strange that this happens but having water next to me solves the problem.</span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

And yes, I sleep with all of them. I have to hold at least one pillow while I'm sleeping too. Whenever I stay at a hotel, I have to go to the front desk and ask for more because there are never enough on the bed. The more the better :) I just like being comfy.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Other strange habits:</strong></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">- The volume on the TV and radio have to be on an even number.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">- When I'm on a cardio machine, I have to burn an even number of calories, it cannot be 514 or anything like that. I drive myself crazy over it haha.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">- Putting lotion on my hands right after I wash them.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">- Making sure all doors are closed and locked before sleeping.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">- The blinds have to closed a certain way.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">- Having a diet coke once a day :) Bad, I know.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Friday night, I literally did nothing but relax and paint my nails, haha. It was so cold though and who wants to go out in that? Not me. I think when I get older, I'm going to invest in a beach house, possibly in Hawaii or something to escape this cold. I'm just not cut out for it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">On Saturday, I went to the gym and picked up a bunch of pictures from Ritz. Getting pictures developed really is expensive! I'm in the middle of transferring all of my pictures, including loose ones, into new photo albums. They are just so disorganized and need to be taken care of. Later that night, I had to babysit the little girls I watch during the week. I told my boss I would watch the girls for free as a Christmas present because she and her husband also had a gift card to a very nice restaurant. They had a wonderful, free night out :) </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">On Sunday, M had a basketball at 8 AM. Talk about early! He plays on a local league just for fun. After that, we came home and relaxed for a little while before we went to our friends house to watch the Raven's game. Of course, M wore his Redskins jersey haha. I'm glad the Raven's won. They have a tough game ahead of them though against the Steelers.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Today, I'm off but I'm off every Monday. School starts soon so I'm soaking up all of my free time while I can :)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Tomorrow we're supposed to get some snow, about 2 inches or so, which is basically enough to cause a mess haha. NOTHING compared to last year though, thankfully. We have really dodged some snow storms this winter so I'm fine with 2 inches.</span></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!</span><br />

For the first time in our relationship, M and I spent the evening with just each other. Usually we hang out with a group and go out the bars or a party. This year, he surprised me with a romantic dinner at an amazing Italian restaurant in the city! I didn't know where we were going until we got there. He really has been too sweet :)</span></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Christmas this year was great.

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On Christmas morning, my brother D and I always go to my dad's to open presents early, about 7:30 AM because our brother B is still young and wakes up early. Plus, he still believes in Santa so he is always excited to see what Santa has brought him. We've had this routine since B was born. Doesn't make my mom too happy though because she doesn't see us until 10 AM in the morning on Christmas.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9eymkGQ2zI4BvpIawjzaBunZeUkyCIaoBYq-fSlZFWMpzHZHk4_GaXmHbUSb9neb5CxwaIYsDS4U369uPuAkSTvRo_5Lg-lTOV3B05fD3XxT8XHkcYeA6pzzZypzZLic95boL2KLAk7M/s1600/DSCN0976.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9eymkGQ2zI4BvpIawjzaBunZeUkyCIaoBYq-fSlZFWMpzHZHk4_GaXmHbUSb9neb5CxwaIYsDS4U369uPuAkSTvRo_5Lg-lTOV3B05fD3XxT8XHkcYeA6pzzZypzZLic95boL2KLAk7M/s400/DSCN0976.JPG" width="300" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dad's tree - an artificial tree that has been</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">around since I was young, probably 4 or 5 years old.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I went over M's house around 1 that afternoon. This was the first time in our relationship I have been to his house on Christmas. Crazy, I know, but usually he comes over my house. It was nice going there though. His mom had a ton of food and I enjoyed spending time with his family. I also was able to give them the gifts I had bought for them. M was so sweet and got me an beautiful Coach watch. I am in love with it! He has great taste :)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Overall, my Christmas was wonderful. <strong>I got to spend time with all of my family and that's what matters most to me.</strong> Seeing them smile when opening the gifts I gave them is what makes me happy. Not the gifts I receive. I always tell my mom I'd be happy with one gift, and that's the absolute truth. <strong>In NO WAY</strong>, am I boasting or bragging about what I received. I just want to remember for the future. I hope that everyone was able to spend time with their family over the holiday and that Santa did give you a little something :)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

First, I want to say that I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know I posted like a month ago that I was going to give an update, but I swear that life gets in the way. Oh yea, if you EVER plan on taking a break from blogging, take my word for it and DON'T DO IT! It is so hard to get back into it. I made a promise to myself to post what I've been up to, not only for you ladies who care about what I've been doing, but also for myself so I can remember what I did. Soo, where do I even start?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">By the way, I plan on clearing out my reader and starting from tomorrow because there is no way in the world to read everyone's posts from the months of November and December - I would go insane! I apologize and hope you ladies had great things happening then.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I finished my first semester of the Elementary Education Program with 3 A's and 2 B's. I was proud of myself :-) When the semester was over, the girls in my cohort had a little Christmas party and played secret Santa. There were only about 12 of us there but we had a blast.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE2t3LqVp34m3WptSVMACH1lNe8fGfGuiCOn3GvBNaJg1nZZ7rajPqJT5wnM_EexxuFRtqYpzsGtijAtE6ylIMbA167SwpK_gy59dXA5yo_oveNqOoe-rOIssXMm0y4m1mCTVuLYkBiyM/s1600/RSCN0963.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE2t3LqVp34m3WptSVMACH1lNe8fGfGuiCOn3GvBNaJg1nZZ7rajPqJT5wnM_EexxuFRtqYpzsGtijAtE6ylIMbA167SwpK_gy59dXA5yo_oveNqOoe-rOIssXMm0y4m1mCTVuLYkBiyM/s400/RSCN0963.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Also in December, I went with my family (minus my 2 other brothers) to see the lighting of the community Christmas tree. It's literally 2 minutes down the street and afterwards, they serve cookies and hot chocolate in a restored home. It's cute and my little brother enjoys watching it light up.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOYsZxcO6OCENiNCVfsWTJskLNmt1krFzBO3VOSnsopSMnnT57cV4g76HipmpLJmx1YD7wp-u31s0oev1UnOVfyajOT43F9DmaAL6-goGJYxo6dhyphenhyphenYD2Jx95bdkZaLVMWEPb1PRRh4fSk/s1600/DSCN0951.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOYsZxcO6OCENiNCVfsWTJskLNmt1krFzBO3VOSnsopSMnnT57cV4g76HipmpLJmx1YD7wp-u31s0oev1UnOVfyajOT43F9DmaAL6-goGJYxo6dhyphenhyphenYD2Jx95bdkZaLVMWEPb1PRRh4fSk/s320/DSCN0951.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Matt and I went to his aunt's mom's 60th birthday. We only planned on staying for about an hour, but we made a night out of it and had a blast hanging out with the oldies :) haha. The food was amazing and the music was fun to dance to. A random but fun night.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiblOnrvWNc0sdMN88ifjyXh75ROl7poaT11GQbHL47mMuNO4R3nRlhg0S_A25cjk0WnptT4KyAnLGImh3K2R-3bYp6wrqHuvH98DOdwsAaotNeK6TMxTqFq6UfDRNB15wNQAiEyQEWHr4/s1600/DSCN0967.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiblOnrvWNc0sdMN88ifjyXh75ROl7poaT11GQbHL47mMuNO4R3nRlhg0S_A25cjk0WnptT4KyAnLGImh3K2R-3bYp6wrqHuvH98DOdwsAaotNeK6TMxTqFq6UfDRNB15wNQAiEyQEWHr4/s320/DSCN0967.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">so he is cheesin' way too hard and</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">my face looks like I swallowed an elephant.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I could really use a tan as well.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Whatever.</span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I've also gotten back into the gym, not that I ever stopped but I have stepped my game up, haha. I gained about 3 lbs. during the semester. I know it was from stress and I'm determined to get it off. I even bought some cute new workout clothes today to get me going :-) Folled over yoga pants and tanks from Old Navy. I love their workout clothes.</span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">My old phone, the LG Dare, died on me about a month ago and I finally became a big girl and got myself a smart phone :) The Droid Incredible. Basically, the same thing as an iPhone except from Verizon. (so my brother says who has the iPhone) I love it and all of the free apps :) Oh, and it didn't hurt that I got it for FREE when Best Buy was having a special. Thanks BB!!</span></div><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">That's what happened for the most part in December.. Then Christmas Came...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">which </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">is a casino about 1 1/2 hours away. I've never been</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">before </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">but we had so much fun! Didn't end up loosing too much</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">money </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">even after being there for 7 hours! I'm sure we'll be</span><br />

I'm far from being on the same path as other 24 year olds. Some are living on their own, engaged, married, mommies, working in their field they chose in college, etc.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Me? I still live at home because lets be honest, I can't afford not to while going to school. I'm not engaged although I do have a boyfriend. I'm a mommy to a dog, not a baby but <b>that's okay with me</b> because I don't want kids ANY time soon. I'm still in college. It's actually tough for me to type these things out. I feel like I "bloomed" much later than others.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">After high school, I worked for 2 years. I wasn't sure what direction I wanted to go in and my parents really didn't have the money for me to go away to school and waste it on my confusion. So when I was 20, I decided to attend community college with my mind heading towards being a nurse. I started taking all of my gen. ed. classes. After doing that for 2 semesters, my younger brother cut his finger pretty bad at work (cleaning the meat slicer at a local grocery store) and I saw the blood and almost passed out. We went to the hospital and I knew at that time there would be no way for me to survive nursing school if I can't handle seeing blood. I decided to switch to early childhood education. Did that for a semester then switched to elementary because there are more grades you are able to teach. When you switch majors, the gen. ed classes switch so I had to take different classes. That leads us to today. I'm finally at a university in a screened program on my way to becoming a teacher. 3 more semesters to go and I'll be certified. I feel like the moment will never come.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">I guess not every one who is the same age is at the same spot in life. I should give myself a break. At least I am going to college to pursue a degree, I work, I have a loving bf, an extremely supportive family, caring friends and a loving home.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Okay, now that I got that off my chest.. I didn't do much for my birthday. Thursday was my birthday. It was raining and just plain crappy out. I had class all day. My mom is too cute though and just had to bring home balloons and cake and have a family dinner.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1NxsYFZIpaGCZX_WutJEWPbRfddlMJSpocIZ_VjtzNVcM39BcroFy_SogzAio0NhGwJe4rVCBrGmhu_l9YqooTeLGVKMDkxz9WBQtBUfc4Gc-hwXziJLShCuMExx7iMHhTXiQJmSy0xA/s1600/DSCN0803.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1NxsYFZIpaGCZX_WutJEWPbRfddlMJSpocIZ_VjtzNVcM39BcroFy_SogzAio0NhGwJe4rVCBrGmhu_l9YqooTeLGVKMDkxz9WBQtBUfc4Gc-hwXziJLShCuMExx7iMHhTXiQJmSy0xA/s320/DSCN0803.JPG" width="150" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNYFoBMdW37ia2uTdOI0PKbODBXV38A6y2UCM5BRxJXndrxweEkRCr6ta103lA-3uTCQ3KtyoEmBIkIE82TT8YQaHvK8f4KDiDlQyqLY3xYKeXJ1SEIlzVMq48utqCtgC372IbWaQyp6M/s1600/DSCN0806.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
