My Fall Project

2011-10-14T20:27:00.000-05:00

So I found this project on this blog. It was sooo easy!

I revamped a little bit of the instructions because i didnt have cardstock so i just used regular paper. I also just printed out a letter K because i'm not good at tracing. This took only around 20 minutes for each pumpkin.

I had 2 pumpkins, large "K's" cut out, moss, and hot glue. Once you cut out your initial start glueing the moss onto your letter. I glued little bits at a time b/c it was easier. Once i was done, I just glued it onto my pumpkin! Voila! I've gotten so many compliments!

Try not to get a crooked pumpkin b/c your initial will be crooked to. lol

I'm Married!!!

2011-10-08T17:29:00.000-05:00

So... I have a new name! Kasey Kling! I'm finally married whooo hooo!!!! I've totally neglected my blog, but with radiology school and planning a wedding, there was no time for blogging. I'm a senior in school now, which allows a little bit more free time so i'm really wanting to get back in my blogging groove!

Here are a few pictures of the best day of my life!!

In less than a month...

2011-07-22T08:38:00.000-05:00

In less than a month, i'll be married. Ill be a wife. A stepmom. It's so crazy to me. But I cannot wait! These past 5 months have gone by so fast! I'm so ready for August 20th but I am going to miss planning the wedding. I've had so much fun with it. There were a few times that i was stressed out but all in all, i've had such a great time planning everything. Lance and I will be getting married outside by a beautiful pool and having the reception inside a beautiful building. My color are aqua and key lime. My flower are going to be hydrangeas. my decorations are going to be simple yet beautiful.

On to some other news....
I'm officially done with my first year of radiology school! I am officially a senior now! This year has went by soooo fast! It's been one of the toughest years of my life but its so worth it. I love what i'm doing!

I know its been so long since i've been on here, but I havent abandoned my blog forever. Here are a few engagement pictures of me and lance!

It was soooo hot so we were sweating like crazy and my hair isn't the best but i love these picture and will cherish them forever!

Big News!!

2011-03-26T22:19:00.000-05:00

Lance and I have been having a great vacation in Branson. So relaxing! Today was an awesome day! Lance and I are officially engaged!!! I am the happiest girl alive! Can't wait to be Mrs. Kling :).

I dont want to stay on here all night but I had to get on here and announce the big news!!! Now back to snuggle with Lance ;).

Engaged!!!

I miss blogging

2011-03-22T20:06:00.000-05:00

I miss blogging. alot. I miss my friends. Hanging out with them. I miss internet surfing. I miss hot bubble baths. I miss being able to watch my shows on tv. I miss painting my toenails. I miss eating a decent breakfast. I miss keeping up with laundry. I miss a clean house. I miss alot of things. I can't believe how much my life has changed since i've been in radiology school. But I wouldnt change it for the world. I love radiology school but I hate my life not being not being normal. But since i'm on spring break, I have been able to do all the above! My toenails are even painted!

Lance and I are going on our first vacation together. And i'm pretty stoked about it. We are leaving early thrusday morning and going to Springfield, MO. The largest BassPro Shop in America is there so Lance wants to check it out (and I secretely do to). Then we are going to Branson, MO, Friday-Sunday. My aunt and uncle has timeshare and they are giving us their points so we are staying at a condo for free! Let's just hope we dont kill each other in a car for 8 hours. lol!!

Back to watching my shows!!

Have a fabulous day!

Happy New Year!

2010-12-31T18:03:00.002-06:00

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy and Safe New Year!!! I hope 2011 is awesome and full of suprises for you!!

I made it!

2010-12-14T12:59:00.000-06:00

I made it through my first semester in radiology school!! I feel like I have neglected my blog so bad, but I didnt realize how busy I would be in school. I honestly did not think I would make it this past week! I was so exhausted from studying. I have never studied so much in my life. Me and some girls in my class would drive to school at 7 in the morning and stay literally all day at school to study for finals. I did really well on two finals but the 3rd one really kicked my butt. but I still made it and i am so relieved!!

On another note, Lance and I are settled down in the new house and we are so happy! We love our new place on 10 acres of land with a big red barn! It's so peaceful out in the country...yet only 2 miles from town! I am going back to work at Kingwood(my job before I went to school) for Christmas break so I'll have alot of access to my blog so I hope to catch up on alot of things.

I love the holidays!

2010-11-26T22:16:00.000-06:00

Wow..it's been over a month since i've blogged last! I honestly did not think my life would revolve around school this much! I've had so much going on you wouldn't believe! Lance and I are moving into a new house this week. It's a long story but we are having to move out of the house that we are in right now because our friends (the house is our friends grandpas house) "need" to move into it. Um, yeah well, needless to say we got right now finding a new house and we did within 4 days! thats so unusal around our area because it's a college town so usually everything is taken up. We found a nice little trailer on 10 acres of land with a big barn! We are having to down size a bit but thats okay because I know we are going to LOVE living at our new place. Everything is fenced in and I know I will feel safe there. It also includes a storm cellar so thats a bonus!

I found some time to go to a concert last friday night! It was brad paisley, darius rucker, and JUSTIN MOORE! It was A-MA-ZING! If your not familar with justin moore, well he's from arkansas and he finally was able to put on a concert in his home state and he did so good!! We even called the hogs! (a razorback thing). Me, Lance, my bestfriend whitney and her husband went and it felt so nice to get out! I haven't done anything since July! It was a great time with my bestfriend, especially with everything going on with the moving situation.

How was everyone's Thanksgiving?! Mine was okay. My mom is home from Alabama helping me pack up my house so we went to Lance's parents house for Thanksgiving. Then went straight home and packed the rest of the day. Wow, what a way to spend Thanksgiving, but it's got to be done. I was in a pretty funky mood having to pack on Thanksgiving, but Lance finally made me realize that I should be THANKFUL for even having a house to move in to. He always knows how to straighten me out. lol!

As soon as we get in our new place, which hoping it will be monday or tuesday, I am putting up Christmas decorations! Yayyy!!! I'll post pictures as soon as I have time!! I hope yall stick around on my blog, I know i'm a slacker but I really do love to blog! Okay, i'm off to catch up on some of my favorite blog sites!

Brad Paisley Concert!

P.S. Well, I was going to add more pictures but it's not letting me for some reason! So i'll try to add some soon!

3 years!

2010-10-23T20:16:00.000-05:00

I wanted to write a quick post to say Happy 3rd Anniversary to the best man in the world! Thank you for putting up with all of my craziness in my life! Your such a good man and can't wait for many more anniversary's to come!!

I love you!!

Vintage baby shower!

2010-10-13T15:39:00.000-05:00

I had to get these pictures off Erica's (the mommy) facebook because I haven't uploaded my pictures off my camera yet. But here are a few pictures from the baby shower my best friend whitney and I threw for her sister Erica!

Whitney, Erica (mommy-to-be), and Me!

The food table. We put white sheets up, then hung twine so we could clothespin Erica's maternity pictures up. We also hung a lime green and turquoise blue tissue pom poms up. We hung mason jars with twine and filled the bottom with rice and put a tea light candle in it! Super cute!!

We were playing the game that you tried to guess her belly size with string

Opening presents!

Holly(bottom left), Lindsey(top left), Erica, Me, and Whitney! Love my girlfiends!

Where did my life go?

2010-10-07T12:44:00.000-05:00

hey everyone! It's me..Kasey. I'm not sure if you remember me because i've totally abandoned my blog due to school. I cannot believe how busy my life is with school now. What am I talking about? I HAVE NO LIFE!! All I do is study and sleep. lol! I absolutely love it though! I am enjoying radiology school so much and I know this is where God wants me. I'm sorry that I haven't been writing much, but since we've moved way out in the country, we haven't found an internet service that will reach out there yet...but we're still looking! My bestfriend whitney and I threw her sister erica a baby shower this past weekend! I've mentioned before that it was going to be a vintage theme and it turned out perfect!! I will post pictures as soon as I can, but here is a sneak peak of Erica, Me, and Whitney!

Aren't we so cute?! lol! You can see in the background that we put up white sheets and hung twine from it and clothespinned erica's maternity pictures to them. You also can see on the very right a green tissue pom pom. They were so cute! Well I better get back to clinic!!

Have a fabulous day!

Busy Life

2010-08-30T14:53:00.000-05:00

So it's my 2nd week of school and I have two test this week! Whew! I'm enjoying it so much though! My radiology class is only 15 people and we all get along so well..well so far we do. It's like we are starting our own little family for the next two years. I have been studying so much lately and I dont see it slacking up anytime soon. But I actually like studying because it's interesting stuff and not the ole' boring stuff. I really want to keep my blog going, so I hope noone goes anywhere because I really do enjoy it, but school comes first so I have to make sure I take care of my schooling first.

So anyways, Saturday is my 21st birthday! Yay..i'm finally going to be 21! Wow..i'm getting old. lol.

I hope everyone has a great week!

First day of Radiology School!

2010-08-24T17:38:00.000-05:00

Wheewwww what a day yesterday was! It was the first day of x-ray school and I wasn't as nervous as I thought I would be. Actually, I wasn't nervous at all. We have 4 teachers. 3 in the classrooms, and 1 for clinicals. I am super excited about getting clincals started!! I start in the Emergency Room! Whoo!

Yesterday was definitely an overwhelming day with all the information and instructions but it was so exciting at the same time. They mostly reviewed over the school rules, radiology rules, HIPPA, and the hospital rules. Tomorrow is the first day that school will actually start. We had a senior come in and talk to us and he said these first 2 months of school was going to be alot to endure..so I hope to stay updated on here as much as I can through this first semester. I hope everyone that has started school is having a good week so far!!

Last Day

2010-08-18T15:44:00.000-05:00

Today is my last day of work :(. I didnt think I would be so bummed, but I really am. I have been at this place for 3 1/2 years. They've seen me graduate highschool and start college. They've seen me grow up, dump boyfriends, get new ones, and learn from my mistakes. It's definitely hard leaving here but I know it's for the best. Everyone has been so good to me here and I will always appreciate that. I will for sure be coming back to visit often.

On another note: I am starting x-ray school monday! Ahhhhh!!!! I'm so excited but nervous at the same time! I can't wait to get the house finished up this week and get my study room fixed up! I am getting internet at my house sometime soon because I will need it for school but not sure exactly when. I am waiting til we get some kind of satellite internet in town so I can use that. I am going to try to stay updated on my blog at Lance's parents house. I will definitely let yall know how my first day goes!

Five Question Friday!

2010-08-13T14:13:00.000-05:00

Oh yeah it's friday! Even though its Friday the 13th, which really doesn't bother me, I am so excited because my work is throwing me a going away fish fry tonight at my boss' house. Then I am having my last girls night out before school starts tomorrow night! This should be a great weekend! I have not participated in Five Question Friday in so long, so i'm excited to start up again!!

1. Have you ever visited another country?
Yes, Mexico! I went on a cruise in January of 08'. We visited Costa Mayo (however u spell it) and Cozumel! It was a blast and soooo beautiful!

2. Where is the strangest place you have ever been?
That is a really hard one! I wouldn't necessarily call this "strange", but back in 2005 my mom, sister, and me went on vacation to yellowstone national park with my grandparents. As we were traveling there, we stopped for the night in this tee tiny town in the middle of nowhere (I forgot what state it was in, Kansas maybe?). That town just rubbed me the wrong way! It seriously looked like one of those dead towns that had disease infested people that were going to kill you. The hotel we even stayed at was freaky. I did NOT like that place and I made sure we left FIRST thing that morning!

3. What is your favorite season?
I can't choose a "favorite" because I love them all in their own ways. I love summer because I love it being warm, but enough is enough! It's to darn humid in Arkansas this summer! I loovveee fall because I get to dress cute in my swearters and scarfs (i'm addicted to scarfs). And the only thing i love about winter is the snow and Christmas. I hate the cold. I love spring because it feels so nice to start having warm weather and pretty flowers after a cold season!

4. What one song will always cheer you up?
That Jack and Diane song. It's an oldie. But a good oldie!

5. What Disney character do you resemble most?
I would definitely say, Aerial off of The Little Mermaid! Because, I love the ocean! And I have a prince charming :).

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!!

Vacation is Over

2010-08-11T10:14:00.000-05:00

Well i'm back from Alabama and Georgia. I had soo much fun! The Georgia Aquarium is one of the most amazing things i've ever experienced. I was like a little kid in a candy store (not kidding). I love anything that deals with the ocean so I was all about going to the aquarium. It took us a good 4 hours to go through the entire thing and thats not with little kids with us. I would HIGHLY recommend going there. It was only $30 for the daily pass to! I would have paid $75 because it was so good. We shopped every day that we were there..and I found some amazing deals! If you are ever in Birmingham..I suggest going to The Summit outlet mall and eating at Chuy's. It's an amazing mexican restaurant that sit up on a hill. I have tons of pictures I want to share with everyone but my memory card from my camera doesn't fit in my computer at work. So I have to transfer them over to my laptop then put them on a memory stick. Here area few pictures from Hannah's facebook that I decided to grab. I'll post pics as soon as I can!

At Chuy's

Scary Shark!

Beautiful Jellyfish!

My Inspiration Board

2010-08-03T10:43:00.000-05:00

I have gotten EXTREMELY addicted to design blogs. Everything from how to decorate, organize, and DIY projects blogs. They are so fun to read, and they have taught me so much stuff already. I love all of the DIY projects that you can do for so cheap! I have also learned when coming to decorating and throwing parties, it's really easy to make up an inspiration board of what you want your party to look like so you can go off that. My bestfriend Whitney's sister, Erica (also a very good friend of mine) is pregnant!! As soon as we found out she was going to have a baby, Whitney and I immediately started planning the baby shower. Erica will be finding out tomorrow what the sex is going to be. But since Whitney and I are in such a hurry to plan this shower, we have already came up with a theme that will fit either a boy or a girl! I got all of the pictures off design blogs to help create an inspiration board!

The theme is VINTAGE! Well actually it's called "nesting". I got almost my entire inspiration board pictuers off of http://www.pepperdesignblog.com/ . I absolutely love Morgan! The first time I took a look at her blog, I immediately was hooked. I would definitely go check her out. Here is my inspiration board:

We are going to try to do DIY as much as possible. As you can see in the pictures, there are lots of candles, plates, mason jars, picture frames that just lay around your house. So i thought this would be the perfect baby shower. I am also going to make some tissue paper pom poms to hang up above the cake table. and maybe use some for centerpieces.

I am so excited about this baby shower I can hardly stand it!! I'll be giving more details as we plan more. I just thought I would share the theme with everyone! Tell me what you think!!

Prayer Request

2010-08-02T12:05:00.000-05:00

If you have already seen my older post about Annika, then you know she is a little 5 year old with Leukemia. She lives in my town and she is the most precious little girl! She has been doing really well these past few weeks, but this week is going to be extremely hard on her. She is starting a new chemo treatment today called the "Red Devil". Its so strong, most adults cant handle it. She has to take it for 4 days in a row. She will be staying at the Arkansas Childrens Hospital all week. If you feel led, will you say a prayer for Annika and her family?

I'm Still Here

2010-07-28T09:55:00.000-05:00

I have been neglecting blogging lately because I have been so busy with work. That's my only time to blog is when i'm at work, so if i'm wrapped up in something, I can't blog :(. On the bright side, i'll be getting internet soon at home so i'll get to blog more! I have a little over 3 weeks before I start school!! I'm so excited to. I got a package in the mail yesterday showing my clinical schedule. And guess what they put me on for my VERY FIRST clinical?! THE E.R.!!! I have been really excited about doing clincals in the ER but didnt except them to make that my very first. And noone else in my class is doing ER with me. But I know i'll do good. I've been watching lots of BostonMed to help me :D haha!

Here are some things i've been up to lately:

We had Caden's birthday party last weekend. I can't believe he's 4!
My sister and brother-in-law are moving to Dallas, TX in a week.
I had my first Gyno appointment. It went ok. I loved the Dr. I could defintely see her delievering my babies one day.
You probably didnt want to know about my Gyno appointment. Sorry.
My hair is now a really dark brown. It's pretty. Want to see?

Before:

After:

I am planning a girl's night with my best friends. It's our first girls night all summer, and our last. We are going to a new restaurant called Bravo, and going to get a booth that you can close the little curtain shut. Then we are going to the comedy club! So excited!
Lance and I are going to Atlanta to watch our good friend Keith, fish in the FLW tournament. He's a pro fisherman, and this is like the superbowl to fisherman. I'm also going to the Atlanta Aquarium which i'm so excited about!!! And also to Ikea for my very first time! I'll let you know allll about that!
I only have exactly 3 weeks of work left. I've been here for 3 1/2 years so i'm sad to go.

I think thats about it for the past week and a half. If you want to see alot more of my life and lots more pictuers, find me on facebook! Kasey Harrison. Monticello, AR. I'm always posting pictures on there!

It's all becoming a reality

2010-07-12T16:28:00.000-05:00

When I first got my acceptance letter to Radiologic Technology (x-ray) school..I was so excited and sooo relieved! But it really didnt actually hit me because I really didnt have to do anything but just wait til orientation. Orientation rolled around about a month ago, and BAM! It feels like a ton of bricks smacking you in the face telling you "It's real! It's actually real!". We got our handbooks, purchased our lead markers, had to sign alot of papers, and was told of some of the stuff we had to take care of before school started.

...Now it's really starting to sink in. I just got through with my CPR class today. Me and my mom have been searching the internet for my books to get them at the cheapest price possible. We had to buy my tennis shoes, and I ordered my scrubs the other day. Unfortunately, our class has to go with a certain scrub brand
and two colors, Royal Blue and Ceil Blue. So I had to make sure I was in those guidelines. Why couldn't we have pink or teal? Like super cute colors?! Guess thats not what x-ray school is all about huh? LOL!! Here are the scrubs I decided to order:

These two pics are the tops. They have 4 front pockets so

all of my accessories can go in there. They are not this color though.

These are the bottoms. I made sure I got the flare leg. Can't be having

tight legged pants. lol

These are in the royal blue and ceil blue colors also.

Notice the arrows.

And this is my lab coat i'm going to get. They say it's freezing

in the classrooms and clinics so I'm defintely getting one of these.

It's all starting to become a reality!

What would you do with my mantel?

2010-07-09T10:36:00.000-05:00

We are still working on the new house. Slowly but surely. I love decorating, throwing parties for friends, and anything crafty!! But since we have moved into a new house that is very country, it's so hard to decorate my mantel! Our living room walls is this beautiful wood that still looks like new, even though the house was built back in the war days. So what would you do to this mantel? Give me any suggestions!

I dont think the pictures go together, and I dont really like my dvd player and stuff on top. There are dvd's and book on that very bottom shelf now, but I have a dvd holder that i'm about to put those in. So what would you do to spruce up this mantel? Put pictures on the walls? Move things? Add vases? Anything?!

Will you please pray?

2010-07-02T08:25:00.001-05:00

UPDATE:
I made a Praying for Annika button. Feel free to grab it for your blog!
_______________________________________________________________________________
ORIGINAL POST:

I just found out a couple days ago about a little girl in my town that just got diagnosed with a rare form of acute lymphocytic leukemia. Her name is Annika Nichols. Her parents are Davey and Missy Nichols. As I do not know them personally, only by seeing them around town, my heart breaks for Annika and her family. Annika is only 5 years old. They have immediately started her on treatments. I am going to make a blog button if its ok by the family. So yall will be able to put her precious picture on your blog to remind people to pray for her. I'll keep you updated when I know more information.

Isn't she just beautiful?

I thought summer was supposed to be relaxing..

2010-06-28T15:15:00.001-05:00

didn't you? Since I have been out of school summer has been even more busy for me! I'm working full-time, trying to get things ready for school, watching softball games, STILL working on the new house, seeing family, etc, etc, etc! And I could have sworn that I told myself to have a great summer because it was going to be my last summer for two years! But I dont want to complain because i'm starting Rad Tech school! And alot of me being busy has to do with getting things ready for school. Getting financial aid together, loans, buying books, finding good clinical shoes, buying scrubs, etc! I'm thankful to have an awesome mom who is helping me! We pay for most of my books out of pocket so I dont have to take loans out. Fortunately, I only have to take out loans for just 2 books this semester. Me and my mom found almost all of them on half.com or amazon.com for cheap! So all you college students, start looking on half.com right now because the price of the books are going up on prices everyday it gets closer to school.

I have to take a moment and brag about Lance's little sister Hannah. Her softball team won state yesterday! I am so excited for them because they have worked EXTREMELY hard for this. The game was CRAZY! The other team was leading the whole game by 1-0, and then at the last inning we had 3 girls hit great balls and ended up 3-2! Here are some pics of hannah and the girls! Aren't their uniforms adorable?

Five Question Friday

2010-06-25T10:26:00.003-05:00

Hallelujah it's Friday! This has been a busy week at work! And one of my favorite things about Friday is Five Question Friday! Head to Mama M's and check everyone out!

1. Do you know how to play a musical instrument?
I know how to play a rockin' air guitar! lol!

2. What is your pet peeve while driving?
Where should I start? I'm not going to lie, I have horrible road rage. I can't stand seeing little teenage girls runnin' their mouths or texting while driving. I can't stand when someone flies up behind me, trust me, i'll slam on my breaks in a heartbeat. I can't stand when people pull out in front of me and I have to slam on my breaks to miss them (you'll get a horn blown for that one!). And DO NOT drive in the left lane when your going 20 mph under the speed limit! Thats so annoying!...ok i'll stop now...on to the next question!

3. Would you rather have a housekeeper or unlimited spa services?
I do believe this is the hardest question i've ever had to answer! I lloovveee spas! But I also hate cleaning! But, I think i'll have to go with the unlimited spa services, because after i'm so tired from housecleaning, I can go get a massage!

4. Is there a song that you hear that will take you back to the moment, like a junior high or high school dance?
"Yeah" by Usher! It was prom. I remember gettin' down with my bad self and all of my friends to that song!! lol...good times!

5. What song best represents your life right now?
"Little White Church" by Little Big Town. Never heard of it? Then this song will be easier for you. "Single Ladies" by Beyonce. He just wont put a ring on it!

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

My New Header!

2010-06-22T12:43:00.003-05:00

Do you like my new header?! Well I do! and I made it all by myself!! Wooo!! It was to stressful though. I been working on it all morning, but finally got it. I dont like how my "Small Town Story.." is a tad blurry. I've tried reducing the font size but it still does it, so I just left it like that. Oh well. I went on scrapblog.com and since I never used the "Quickmix", they gave me like free money..or whatever and I was able to use a template already set up. Then I just changed colors, took things out, rearranged, added photos and such!

This header will stick with me for a very long time! lol

I give up!

2010-06-21T09:33:00.003-05:00

Ok I give up! I was trying to make my own header but things just aren't working out, for

1. I don't have the time to sit and really work on it &
2. I suck. period.

So, I was wanting someone to tell me where I could get someone to make one for me for a tiny fee! I dont want anything spectacular but I do want something super cute, but dont want to get charged a whole lot either. Does anyone know of someone, or even you can do it? Please comment!!

New Design

2010-06-11T13:38:00.002-05:00

I'm working on a new design, so my blog is a little messed up right now. I'm hoping to get everything straightened out by this afternoon!

Five Question Friday!

I'm participating in Five Question Friday today! I haven't been able to do a Five Question Friday in weeks! I totally miss it.

1. What do you think makes a good friend, or friendship?
Trust! If you can't trust your friend, then theres no friendship there! My best friend knows every secret about me..and i know their safe with her.

2. What is the last thing you bought & later regretted?
The french fries last night. well actually, lance bought them, but I ate them. I've been doing so good with my dieting and those fries made me regret it. But I had a little to much wine last night as I was home by myself, folding laundry, and watching Dear John, so I figured I should eat a little something. lol!

Oh, and I have lost 10 pounds in one month! whoo hoo!

3. Have you ever had a prank played on you?
Oh yes, alot of them! They are to long of stories though, so i'll pass on this one.

4. What is your favorite theme park?
I haven't been to a theme park in forever! But I would have to say six flags. Only because of the memories I had there with my family and my great grandma.

5. Have you ever seen someone else give birth?
No, but I want to! I think I have decided I am going to let my best friend be in the room while I give birth. She said she would love to see someone else give birth besides her. So I hope with her next child, she will let me be in there! I think I would make a pretty good coach!

Stop by Mama M's blog and check her out!
Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

Before/After Blog Hop

2010-06-10T08:34:00.000-05:00

Today i'm participating for my very first time in Pixel Perfect's Before/After blog hop! I absolutely adore Monica. I have been following her for a few months now and she is one of my favorite bloggers. She's so sweet and has a huge heart for Jesus! Even if you do not want to participate in the blog hop, I highly recommend heading to her blog to check her out!

This picture was taken by my best friend of her little girl. I just bought her this hat from Briar Claire. It was taken by a cell phone, so it's not the best quality, but I had to share it with all of you!

SOOC

After

I used the online editing program Picnik because, well, i'm a college student and cannot afford an expensive editing program right now. But one day I will! Here is another edited version just for fun!

If you are new to my blog, I hope you stop back by!

Summa-Tiiimmmeeee!!

2010-06-09T15:59:00.000-05:00

Here are some pictures from memorial day weekend! My cousin's wedding was this past weekend. We drove to illinois to be in it, and i must admit, it was the most beautiful wedding i've ever been to! I've been going through the pictures i took and i'm going to edit them. I'll post them once i'm done!

Alot of what's been going on!

2010-05-28T11:59:00.009-05:00

Is anyone as excited as I am that today is Friday?! Maybe it's because i've had a crazy busy week at work and i'm ready for a break. Or maybe it's because my mom is coming down and my sister and bro-in-law are coming to my house and we are grilling for memorial day! Whoo! I'm so excited to be spending time with the fam! Wednesday we will be leaving for Illinois for my cousin's WEDDING! she has been playing for over a year now so it's going to be beautiful. We are going up 3 days before so we can help her get everything together and decorate :D. I'm a sucker for decorating for events, so i'm stoked! We are super close to my family in illinois so it's going to be great seeing them. We only get to see them maybe twice a year :(. I will be posting pics of the wedding when I get back! And if your wondering about the house and where the before and after pics are? Well, i've decided to wait til my bathroom and caden's rooms were done before I posted. Lance is almost finished painting caden's room, and the bathroom still has some work to do.

Also, did you know paint can rot? Yeah, me either. Until lance painted all four walls of Cadens room with rotten paint. He didnt realize it because he had a breather mask on so he couldnt smell the ROTTEN EGG smell until he took it off. He was also using a spray rig so he could tell. So then he had to go back over with another color paint. It's going to look good though. Have I also mentioned how much I love lance? He has such a kind heart. Yesterday I was pulling out of walmart and seen him at the hardwood store across the street. He was about to go in until he seen about 3 guys trying to push a car into the driveway of the hardwood store. They weren't going anywhere with it. Lance ran over there real quick and helped push it up the hill. They were super appreciative i'm sure. That made me smile :).

Have I also told you Caden learned how to ride a horse by himself? At the age of 3? Yes, he did! Lance's family is huge rodeo'ers (is that a word), and they have lots of horses (even though i'm terrified), and they gave caden a pony. A big pony at that, but it's an old pony, like 30 years old. She was very skinny so we had to fatten her up a bit. Anyways, we usually lead Caden around with the rope, but the other day, he told his Grandma Ann (Lance's step-mom) that "he wanted to ride all by himself". So she taught him! I'm not going to lie, i was scared to death! lol. We put him in a round pen and he was riding all by himself! He then got brave and wanted to walk the pony around "barrels". So, Ann also taught him how to do that, even though she knew he was going to fall off the horse. And, he did. The horse started trotting pretty fast and it scared him and he let go of the reigns and fell off. To me, it looked horrible so I took off after him. But Ann told me not to baby him or he wouldnt get back on. He cried so hard, and I felt so bad, but she made him get back on right then or he would never would get back on. It was so cute watching him ride though!
Here are some pictures and videos! **Forgive me, i'm not a good videographer! I also do not have speakers on my computer at work, so i'm not sure what all I say in these videos, you may hear me say "GOOD JOB!", alot!**

Grandma Ann teaching him how to steer the horse

About to start riding all by himself! Dont you love his hat?

And he's off! He looks like a little man!

Cheese!!

A happy little boy!

Love this picture!

* I'm not sure which video it is, but on one of them the horse starts trottinng
which freaks Caden out, so he yells WOAH!!, it's so funny! You have

to listen carefully though*

Did I also tell you my sister graduated college? Yep! With a bachelor in Psychology. She and her husband will be moving to Dallas for seminary. He will pursue a master's in Divinity, and she will get her master's in Psychology, so she will become a psychologist :D. So proud of them.

Her two best friends!

A Great Weekend

2010-05-24T14:17:00.000-05:00

I had a great weekend! Lance's birthday was Sunday, so we decided to head to Little Rock saturday and spend some time together up there. Saturday morning we got up and got dressed and was all ready to go by 9:00 that morning. We get Caden in his car seat, and go to start the car and it wont crank. So we tried for 20 minutes and finally get it started! The entire way to Little Rock the radio and dashboard lights would blink on and off, so I knew something was wrong. We make it to Lances mom's and as soon as we turn off my car, it wont restart. So I freak out thinking its the alternator and that we wont get to spend our fun saturday together because we'll have to worry about fixing my stupid car. But thankfully, we check the battery and notice it has no fluid. So we went to Sam's and got a new battery and voila, my car was brand new again! Lance and I left Caden with his mom and we went shopping! It was Lance's day, so we went everywhere he wanted to go. But we ended up going to one of my favorite stores Gordman's so I could get an outfit for my cousin's wedding. We had dinner at a mexican restaurant called Cozymel's. It was DELICIOUS! I had a great time. We hardly ever go on date's or go out just the two of us, so it was really nice. Lance wanted to sleep in Sunday, so we skipped church. Then we did nothing but lay around all day. LITERALLY! We were so lazy, but it was nice just to lay around. lol. So, that was our weekend!! How was yours?

Five Question Friday

2010-05-21T09:25:00.001-05:00

These past two weeks have been so busy with finals that I haven't got to participate in Five Question Friday. And I was totally bummed about it! But i'm back. Whoop! If you've never played, I would suggest go to Mama M's blog and check it out!

1. Do you have an iPhone and, if so, how do you get apps and what are your favorites?

I do not own an iPhone because my mom pays for my cell phone bill. And I dont' want her paying an extra $30 a month just for the iPhone. One day when I can afford it myself, i'll buy one.

2. What is your fondest memory of K-3rd grade?
Wow. Thats a hard one. I would have to say just making new friends and playing at playtime in these little houses that was in our classroom. We always played "house". lol it was pretty cute. I would also have to say, when I thought my bestfriend (shes my bestfriend today, not then) how to tie her shoes. Thats a great memory!

3. What makes you cringe at the thought of touching?
I hate digging old soggy food out of the kitchen drain. YUCK!!

4. If you could have any celebrity show up on your doorstep who would it be and why?
Jillian Michaels! I'm really trying to lose weight right now. I've been attending Zumba classes and watching what I eat and I could really use her to whip my butt into shape! So far I have lost 7 pounds in two weeks!

5. What would you say is your best physical feature?
I would used to say my eyes and smile. But since i've gained a lot of weight, my face has gotten all fat, so I dont feel like my face is as pretty. But i'm working on that!

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! Lance and I are going to Little Rock to spend the day together tomorrow for his birthday. I'm excited to just get out and spend some time together. I'll let yall know how it goes!

Where Have I Been?

2010-05-19T11:03:00.000-05:00

Omg! I have not posted in like two weeks!! These past two weeks have been so crazy! I had finals, which I passed Anatomy & Physiology with a B and the lab with an A!! Whoo hoo! I am so proud of myself. This class was extremely tough but I told myself I wanted to do really good in it, and I did. It really helped to only have just these two classes for the semester too. I dont think I would have done so good if I had other classes with it. All of my time went to studying for A&P and it all paid off. I am now OFFICIALLY in Radiology school! If i didnt pass these two classes, I would have had to drop out. I am working full-time this summer, then i will quit my job when radiology school starts :(. I am a little sad because I have been working at this job before I even graduated high school which was three years ago! They have seen me graduate high school, start college, watch me grow into an independent woman and everything. They are sad that i'm leaving also. lol.

I do get kind of jealous when all of my friends are not working for the summer and laying out by the pool all day, everyday. But this is what is best for me, so I try not to get angry about it. I hope I will start having a lot more time for blogging now that school is over!! So if anyone out there still reads my blog, i'm very sorry for slacking...I hope you still stick around!

My sister graduated college this past weekend! I am so proud of her! It seems just like yesterday that we were playing in the bathtub together. haha! Now we are in college, and moving on with our lives. She graduated with a bachelors degree in psychology. Her and her husband, David, will be moving to Dallas, TX in August to start seminary school. She will go to get her masters in psychology, and become a psychologist. And David will get his master's in Divinity. I took lots of pictures, but my memory card on my camera doesn't fit in my computer at work, so I always have to transfer it over to a usb drive. I'll post pictures as soon as I can!

Have a fabulous day!

Finals!!

2010-05-03T15:39:00.000-05:00

I know...i STILL haven't posted pictures of the house yet, but I will. This was a pretty busy weekend. But I managed to get my entire house cleaned so I wouldnt have to worry about it so I could study all week for my finals. I've got 2 exams on thursday and 1 on friday. I have a C in Anatomy and Physiology 2 lecture, and an A in the lab. I guess i'm pretty good at disecting minks! lol! I have to make a total of 172 points out of 200 on the 2 tests in lecture to get a B in the class. Thats what i'm pushing for, so I hope I can do it! I can't make lower than an 82 on my lab final to keep an A in the class. I think i'll do pretty good on that exam. I'll be studying my butt off for the next 3 days so I can do good, so wish me luck!!!

Have a fabulous week everyone!

Conversations with Caden

2010-04-28T14:27:00.000-05:00

So I have been gone all weekend to a Women of Faith conference! If you dont know what that is, look it up! It is A-MAZING! this is my 3rd year in a row to go, and hope I dont miss any for the rest of my life! Lance is gone to Kansas turkey hunting so i'm staying with his family. I dont like staying at home by myself, especially at a new house. Plus, its a really old house so it creaks in the middle of the night, which is even more scary. lol. I've been there all week, so thats why there are no pictures of the house up yet. :( i'm sorry. Once i get home, i'll clean the house (ya know, because i'm not putting pictures of a dirty house on my blog) then post them! Pinky Promise!!

Caden learned how to ride his horse (its actually a very large pony) all by himself yesterday! It was so fun watching him learn!! I wanted to download the pictures on my computer today at work so I could post them, but my computer doesn't take memory cards. I'll definately have to get them up soon! They are so awesome! He's such a little cowboy!

I also wanted to tell you some of the conversations Caden and I had yesterday. It's so funny some of the things kids say!!!

Me: "How was school today?"
Caden: "Good, I got along with EVERY kid today!"

Me: "Want a snowcone for behaving at school today?"
Caden: "Oh yes! I love cold snocones!"
*We get up to the snocone place*
Me: "What kind would you like?"
Caden: "Blue please"
Me: "Ok, what kind of blue? They have bubblegum blue? Would you like that?"
Caden: "No. Just blue."
Me: "Oh. Ok. Blue it is."

*Caden sitting in the backseat as I take him home*
Caden: "Kasey, did you know I had a girlfriend?"
Me: "Um, no I didnt"
Caden: "Yep. But she's dead now. *he is being totally serious*
Me: *a little freaked out* "Oh wow. Um, what happened?"
Caden: "Oh, someone shot her. They're in jail now. And she's in heaven."
Me: "Well i'm glad their in jail now, and that she is in heaven."
Caden: "Yea, me to. Did you know grandma ann has been in heaven before?"
*our church put on a play of heaven and hell, and his grandma was an angel in heaven, and he remembers it, so thats what he is talking about*.
Me: "well she was in heaven at church, but not real heaven. You have to actually pass away & be a christian to go to heaven. You have to accept Jesus into your heart".
Caden: *thinking for a minute* "I've got Jesus in my heart!!"

He's just so cute!

A busy weekend!

2010-04-19T15:06:00.000-05:00

Boy, did I have a busy weekend! My wonderful mother drove 6 1/2 hours to my house friday afternoon, to stay the weekend so she could help me get my house together. We are slowly but surely getting things in order! We woke up saturday morning around 8, and worked til the sun went down! We moved tons of stuff out to a storage building, rearranged alot of things, organized, washed lots of clothes, cleaned, cooked, and just hung out together. It is soooo nice having my house put together now! The only thing we have left to do is paint Caden's room and paint my bathroom. I will then be able to move all of caden's things to his room from the guest bedroom and be able to put my office/study up! I can't wait to get organized in my office/study room! I really wanted to wait until I had my bathroom done to take pictures to post on here, but I think i'm going to go ahead and take pictures of the rest of the house to show you all! I haven't bought curtains for the living or our bedroom yet, and i'm dying to! As soon as the sun is up, we are up because it's so bright in our bedroom! So, stay tuned for pictures to come! I can't wait to show you guys!

Jessica Simpson on Marie Claire Cover

2010-04-16T10:48:00.000-05:00

As soon as I heard about Jessica Simpson posing au naturel on the cover of Marie Claire, I knew I was going to have to post about it. I have always loved Jessica Simpson. Everything from her tv show with Nick, to her perfume Fancy (which i wear religiously). I love how she is just her, and she doesnt care what anyone thinks. She has had so many critics on her about her weight and she has stuck strong. Jessica and her best friends Ken and Cacee has a show out right now Price of Beauty. I LOVE it! Even though I have missed a couple episodes because I dont have cable in the new house yet, I have enjoyed her first few. I love how she is traveling the world and learning about beauty in other countries, the positive and negative sides of beauty. My heart broke on the paris episode when the 80 lb model. She looked like she was just deteriating (sp?). It was so sad!!

Then, Jessica decided to pose on the cover of Marie Claire, with NO makeup, and NO airbrushing! Of course she had her bff there to do her hair but supposedly it was air dried and thrown back in a pony tail. But I think it takes guts to pose natural on the cover of a very popular magazine, when she knows she is going to have critics all over her! I think she is absolutely beautiful in the picture. It shows all her flaws (which is none to me) compared to those little models out there.

I think she is a great role model out there for a lot of girls. For them to see it's okay to be big busted. It's okay to be a little bigger in the booty and hips and arm and face! That your still beautiful!

One of my favorite quotes she wrote in the magazine is “I don’t have anything to prove anymore,” the 29-year-old singer shared. “What other people think of me is not my business.”

She also said that she feels most sexy when she has long wavy hair flowing down her back. And that she loves to air dry her hair, but there are a lot of times where she wont wash her hair until it smells. I thought that was HILARIOUS! She is also coming out with a new "A beautiful me" which encourages young to feel comfortable in their own skin. I'm not sure if its another tv series or a book or what. But I know it will be great!!

I just had to post about this, because I think what Jessica is doing, is so great in a lot of ways!!

Five Question Friday

2010-04-16T09:52:00.000-05:00

It's Friday! This week has been a crazy one for me! I had a big Anatomy and Physiology Lab test, so hopefully I ace'd it!! My mom is coming in tonight from Alabama to help me finish up the house! I know i've told everyone like 10 times already that i'll have before and after pictures up of the house, but hopefully if we get everything done this weekend, i'll be able to take pictures and post them!! So keep a look out!!

Anyways, on to Five Question Friday! Head over to Mama M's blog and check her out!

1. What words do you use on your blog/online that you don't use in real life?

That would be lol. I mean when you talking with someone, do you really say "LOL". um, no.
I could totally see it, "Oh girl, you are so funny! You just make me LOL!" hahaha!!

2. Do you still write checks?
Every once in a while. I like to have them on hand just in case I need them. But i'm actually out of checks right now. But, I dont want to spend the money to get more. lol. But I like to have them though.

3. Who was your favorite President and why?
I don't think I have a favorite president. I'm not into politics that much so I really don't know much. But I did have to do a paper on Bill Clinton, and doing research, I found out A LOT about Bill Clinton. Yes, he is from the same state as me (Arkansas). And even though he got caught messing around with a 19 year old, he did a lot of great things for this country. Especially with the education system. So, I have to give him props for that!

4. Are you a yeller?
Do I have to admit this? Sadly, yes. I'm a loud person all together! When i'm just talking to someone, i'm yelling. lol. But when I do get upset or frustrated, I start to yell. Lance, on the other hand, does NOT yell and does not allow me to yell either. He will set me straight quick if I start yelling. lol. Which i'm glad because it has helped me a lot with my yelling.

5. Have you ever dumpster dived?
One time! I remember I was in Jr High. I accidently lost like 10 bucks in the garbage when i was throwing away my lunch. So I had to dig through the garbage that kids were throwing their leftover lunches in. Ew!!!

--If you are new to my blog, WELCOME! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you stop by more often! Leave me a comment and let me know you are a first timer! I want to share the love to you and check out your blog!

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!!

Five Question Friday

2010-04-09T11:01:00.000-05:00

Today is Friday! Woo Hoo!! If you are stopping by from Mama M's Five Question Friday MckLinky, I hope you come back to visit! I love having new visitors! Leave me a comment knowing this is your first time, so I can come visit you also!

1. Who would you want to play you in a movie of your life?

I think I would want Reese Witherspoon. She played so good in Sweet Home Alabama. Just love her. I think she could act out my life really good!
Oh- and did you know that Reese is actually playing The Pionner Woman's role in her new movie?! Yes The Pioneer Woman is getting a movie made about her!!!

2. Did you ever go to summer camp?
Nope. Just mission trips during the summer. I remember I went to Biloxi, MS after hurricane Katrina hit. It was so sad. But we did a lot of work..and went home feeling great about our mission!

3. What sends you running and screaming in the other direction?
SNAKES!!! i'm getting chills just thinking about it. I will DEFINTELY run and scream the other direction if I see one!

4. What is something you do that drives your spouse nuts?
Well I dont have a spouse, but what drives my boyfriend, Lance, nuts is probably... getting makeup powder all over the sink. lol. I use loose powder and it always falls all over the sink. But when he shaves and gets nasty hair all over the sink, drives me nuts! So we're even. lol
5. What is currently your favorite song?
I think i'm going to have to go Rihanna - Rude Boy. It's not that pleasant of a song, but its so fun to dance to and just listen to. So I would defintely have to say that!

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

I GOT ACCEPTED!!

2010-04-07T13:59:00.000-05:00

INTO THE RADIOLOGY PROGRAM!! WHOO HOO! you have no IDEA how excited i am! i have been working on this for 2 years trying to get my pre-recs and such. I was so nervous all morning! There were 5 of us girls that applied from just my town (the school is 45 mins away). They all received their letters this morning and mine didnt show up! I about died! so i went to the post office and they looked in the pile for me for like 7 mins! The lady told me she would call me if it showed up..and not kiddin...10 minutes later she called!! So..say hello to the next x-ray tech!!!!

Five Question Friday

2010-04-02T11:13:00.000-05:00

Wow, it seems like FOREVER since i've posted something! But you know, I hardly ever miss Five Question Friday ;). We are in our new house, but it is NOT finished. And it's really bugging me too. Lance still has his tools everywhere in the kitchen, the bathroom is not painted, caden's room is not finished, and the kitchen floor is not done. But our bedroom, and the living room are done! Lance is working on the house today, and hopefully i'll be able to get everything unpacked this weekend, so pictures of the house will be up soon! I hope! But for now, here is a little preview of our new "little country home"!

Now back to Five Question Friday!
1. Do you sing out loud in the car when you're driving?

It depends on my mood that day! But most of the time, i'm singin as loud as i can. And even bustin' a couple of moves every now and then. Especially if a girlfriend is with me, then it's ALLL OVA' WITH! I pray for you if you ever see me and a friend going down the road.

2. What would you never be caught doing?
I'm going to skip this question, b/c i have no idea. lol

3. Will you go #2 in a public restroom?
Heck no! unless it was defintely an emergency, which sometimes I have, and there are a few times i've had to go #2 in walmart. I can't stand it. I feel all gross, plus I have this weird thing where I dont let anyone see me using #2! I like my privacy!

4. Have you ever broken a bone?
Nope :). I've bruised the bone in my knee, and spranged a few ankles. But never have broken a bone. And I hope I never have to either! My sister on the other hand is different. When she was six (yes age six) my dad was trying to teach her how to do a back flip off the swing set and she fell and broke her elbow. The doctors thought her arm would never grow again, but it did!!!

5. Do you prefer cooking or baking?
baking all the way! I love baking anything. I'm really trying to learn how to cook better, but I just enjoy baking! I mean, I even made the rainbow cake! And I had a blast doing it!!

Head over to Mama M's blog and check her out!
I'm sorry I have been slacking on my blog, but stick around because it will get better!

Restaurant.com

2010-03-24T09:29:00.001-05:00

I just HAD to tell everyone about this AMAZING deal I heard about on restaurant.com . They are having an 80% off gift certificate for participating restaurants. All you do is search your zip code, or state, and restaurants will pop up. You then can buy a $25 gift card for only $2!!! They are regularly $10. I bought 7 yesterday for only 14.00! Since I live in a small town, there were no restuarants here that does it, but I'm in Little Rock all the time, so I bought some so Lance and I could go on dates more often! The offer ends 3/31 so you better hurry up. And be sure to use the promo code "COOK" when checking out so you will get the 80% off. I found this amazing deal at hip2save.com . This girl is AWESOME at finding deals and GREAT coupons! I've printed off 20 coupons already to use when I go shopping at walmart. Everyone needs to check it out!!

Have a great day!

Happy Birthday to...

2010-03-19T16:12:00.001-05:00

...my best friend Whitney!! She is 21 years old. 21!! That may seem so young to some of you, but that means me and my best friend are grown-ups :(. I mean we already are. She has a 1 year old, married, and has a house of their own. It's just crazy because we been best friends since the 6th grade! She has moved about 2 hours away from me, but we have still managed to keep our friendship alive. We try to talk at least 3 times a week. She is totally the best friend a girl could have. So i'm going to write a post ALL about Whit!

~No matter what..I can always rely on whitney to give me advice. Good or Bad. It may not be the most logical advice, but it's advice. And I do the same for her.

~ We know each other so well, we don't even have to say anything to make each other laugh. We can just look at each other and burst into laughter!

~ She has to be the BEST mom in the world! I never thought me and whitney were going to be "mom" material, but it looks like we are! Well for her at least.

~ We have stuck by each other through a lot of tough times. We never gave up on our friendship.

~ No matter what circumstance we are in, such as in labor, or just having a horrible hair day on the day of your graduation, we are able to always make each other laugh and get through it. (as you can see, she ended up helping me with my hair on our graduation day..and being goofy at that).

~ We know our most deepest, darkest secrets about each other, and know that they will always stay between just us two.
~ You may be little, but you are fiesty!
~ Even though we no longer live in the same small country town anymore, I know I can always count on you to be there for me. Happy 21st birthday whitney!! Love Ya!!

(this picture taken this last saturday at her birthday party)

Five Question Friday!

2010-03-19T10:18:00.006-05:00

It's FUH-RIDAY!!! And i'm so excited, even though I had a pretty laid back week. I was going to have a HUGE test this week, but my teacher post-poned it until after spring break! whoo hoo! Lance and I are STILL working on the house! but we are almost in. We will go ahead and move in, even though our bathroom and kitchen floor aren't done..but thats okay. We can slowly work on that while we live there. Our bedroom is completely done. Which is very exciting because that was the room that needed the most work. We hope to be able to move into the house this weekend! I can't wait to show you guys the Before and After pictures. Yall are going to be amazed! Ok enough of my babbling. Now on to Five Question Friday. If you have never played, you totally should! Head over to Mama M's blog and check her out!

1. Have you ever had a celeb sighting?
Umm... if celeb sighting means, have you ever seen or met a celeb then yeah. I have met oscar delahoya (sp?). I watched him in Biloxi, MS. I was in the balcony and me and my aunt ended up talking the security at the door to let us go down to the ring and get an autograph. lol. I've also met, a WHOLE lotta pro-fisherman. They are totally celebs to fishing-obssessed people that i know (cough*lance*cough). Thats all that I can remember.

OMG! i almost TOTALLY forgot! On my senior trip, we were at a club, and Ace from The Real World was there. Yes, I know he is like a producer for Girls Gone Wild, but I was star struck! The best part? He ended up coming back to our hotel room and hanging out!! It was so much fun. I even got to sit on his lap in our car while driving to the hotel room. I was smitten :*). It was alot of fun! And for proof, heres a pic!

2. What temperature do you keep your house?
Hot. lol! I get cold very easily. So in the winter, I had it around 70 degrees. This summer, I will barely turn my air on until Lance comes home. Plus, electricity is expensive!!
3. Do you notice dust at other peoples homes?
No, unless its horribly bad. Because dust in my home can get bad. Especially this new home we are about to move into, the dust is horrible! As soon as I dust, I turn right back around and it's dusty again! So if you know of any good cleaners that works good, please let me know!

4. What's the worst job you ever had?
I would say a sales clerk at a clothing store. Only because I worked on weekends because I had another job during the week. I was just exhausted by the weekend and needed a break. Plus, I had to work right when my sister was planning her wedding, so I had to miss her picking out her wedding dress and everything! It was a bummer! I was a lifeguard for a summer, and it sometimes got really hot and miserable, but I worked with a lot of my friends so we had a BLAST!

5. What is your most sentimental possession?
To be honest, I really don't have any. My mom has all the jewelry from my great-grandma and stuff. I know i'm getting my grandmothers 28 diamond ring when I get older. And my sister is getting my great-grandmothers ring. Another sentimental possession is all of our childhood pictures. They are always fun to go look back on!!

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!
P.S. Head over to Juliana at A Blonde walks into a blog . she is having an awesome giveaway!!!

If you could only listen to one song for the next month, which would it be?

2010-03-12T11:52:00.001-06:00

Rihanna - Rude Boy.
I pretty sure it's a dirty song, but it just makes me want to dance!!!

Ask me anything

Five Question Friday!

2010-03-12T11:02:00.000-06:00

Wow..friday already? I have been busy this week! School is going okay for me. Even though i'm sick of learning about the endocrine system and the heart. Ugh. BUT, lance and I are getting a day to relax and enjoy some time with friends tomorrow night at my best friend's 21st birthday! I'm so excited! We hardly ever get to hang out anymore since she moved 2 hours away from me. We are going to have a blast just hanging out with some friends, playing cards, and catching up on our lives. I think Lance and I deserve a break since we've been working on remodeling the house for 4 weeks! We are ALMOST finished with the house. We have completely remodeled our bedroom. We tore down the ceilings, and sheetrocked the ceiling and all the walls, put in a brand new window, painted, and new crown molding. Then we finished putting tin up on our kitchen ceiling (its going to have a country feel to it). Lance is still laying the plywood down on the kitchen floor. We have Caden's (if your new to my blog..Caden is Lance's little boy) new ceiling up in his room, but have not painted yet. And we still have to do a little remodeling in the bathroom. We are going to try to get in once we get the kitchen and caden's room done. Then we can gradually work on the bathroom as we have time.

Head over to Mama M's Blog and check her out!

1. How much time do you spend on the computer a day?
I'm not sure if I should answer that. hehe. Since i'm in school, I only work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday's. So that's really my only time to spend on the computer. If i'm really slow at work, then i'll get on facebook, blog, and check other blogs. But there are other days that I'm so busy at work, I dont get to get on the computer at all.

2. Will you pay for your children's college or raise them to pay for their own way?
Well I haven't gotten there in my life, so i'm not sure what will happen. I plan on helping pay for my children's college because I want them to go. My mom has helped me SO MUCH these past few years. She has paid some tuition, my books, etc. I have had to take out loans which is okay with me!

3. Have you ever been in a car accident?
Thankfully, no! Me and my mom hit a deer when i was younger and it made our car tilt a little bit. That was scary enough so I couldn't imagine what it would be like to be in an accident! I hope I never have to find out either!

4. What is your favorite book?
Does cosmo count? I'm not going to lie, I read WAY to many magazines! cosmo, better home and gardens, tabloids, etc. It's my addiction. I'm trying to stop though, hehe. I do love Lurlene McDaniel books! I haven't read one in a really long time though! If your a big book reader, I would highly suggest one of her books!

5. Do you make your bed everyday?
I have this weird thing with my bed. I don't have time in the mornings to make my bed, but I can't STAND getting into my bed at night with it being un-made. It's a pet peeve of mine. So I usually make my bed when I get home from work, or right before I climb into it at night. lol. The sheets has to be straighten and nice and neat. I'm a weirdo I know!

Have a fabulous weekend!!

p.s. I'll be having a post just for my best friend Whitney for her 21st birthday. There will be some funny pics of us back in the day..so come back!

TGIF!!!

2010-03-05T16:14:00.000-06:00

Oh man, how happy I am that today is Friday! But this weekend is not going to be relaxing for me. Lance and I are moving into the new house this weekend! He has done so much remodeling to this house its crazy!! We still have lots of work to do, and we may even be staying in his parents RV for a little while until we get it all finished. I am so tired and worn out, but we are determined to get this house finished!! I can't wait to show you guys all the before and after pictures! I dont have time to do Five Question Friday today. :( i'm totally bummed. But there will be more Fridays ahead!!

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!!

Here is a sneak peek (from my camera phone) of the tin we put up in the kitchen ceiling. It has this "country home" feel to it! It's cute!

Five Question Friday

2010-02-26T10:25:00.001-06:00

I'm so happy its friday! I need a relaxing weekend. It wont be so relaxing though. Lance and I have so much stuff to do on the new house! You guys are gonna die when you see what we have done to this house! We have pretty much ripped it inside out! We are completely re-doing out bedroom, cadens room, and the kitchen. And we are painting the bathroom. I can't wait for it to all be done so I can show yall before and after pictures! I'm also excited because it's Mama M's Five Question Friday! Go check her out if you haven't already!

1. Do you sing karaoke? If so, what is your go to song?

I have been in a karaoke bar before and watched people sing but never did. I was like 13. I'm not sure if I would have the guts to get up in front of a bunch of people and humiliate myself by trying to sing. I'm a horrible singer. But I think if it were a bunch of my girlfriends together, I would go for it!

2. What is your favorite coffee drink?
This is a toughy! I love my coffee w/ just one splenda packet and some french vanilla creamer...yum yum! Then i also like the frappe's from mcdonalds. Lance got me a frappe machine for Christmas and I love it!! You can make all kinds of frappes!

3. If you could choose your own name, what would it be?
Hm.. I'm not sure. I think I would stick to Kasey just because my mom named me that. But I love Ava. I think i'm going to end up naming my daughter that. It's just so pretty to me!

4. Were you ever bullied?
Jr. High was a bad time for me. Girls are evil in jr. high. Always talking about you behind your back, then friends to your face. I had a girl that constantly picked on me and talked so much crap to my best friend about me and tried taking her away. I FINALLY got the guts to stand up to her and she finally backed down. Then I had another girl that always acted like my friend in High School but she was always jealous of me that she even got my boyfriend to break up with me. When she sees me in my small town, she always tries to say hi and talk... i don't give her a time of day. haha.

5. How often do you eat fast food?
Alot. Shame Shame. I really have been trying to stop. My life is just so busy sometimes, I feel thats the quickest way to eat. I'm starting to read Jillian Michaels Winning by Losing, and she teaches you all kinds of stuff! So I hope that helps me learn how to shop for groceries and cook better!

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

Happy Birthday Chad

2010-02-24T13:25:00.000-06:00

Yesterday was my brother's birthday. He would have been 27. Chad died September 4, 2000 (my birthday), on the way to my birthday party. He was going around a curve and flipped his truck. They rushed him to a hospital in Little Rock, AR...but he had a lot of internal bleeding. It does not seem almost 10 years since he has been gone. I miss him every single day. But I know he is a much better place than I am. Chad was the hunk of the school. All the girls wanted him. He wanted all the girls too. It seemed like every week he had a new girlfriend. I was always judgemental of all his girlfriends...because I was the only girl that needed to be in his life..hehe. There were only a few girls that I really liked. Chad was my bestfriend and the best brother a little sister could ask for. Of course he picked on me and my sister, but he also loved us very much and would never let anything happen to us. I remember the last words he said to me. I was leaving for my birthday party and he was getting into his truck. He gave me a kiss and said "I love you, see you when I see you". I'll never forget those words! Here are a few pictures of Chad...some where when he was younger before he passed away. I wish I had some more pictures but these were just the ones on his mom's facebook.

Chad is on the left in the Cocoa Puffs shirt lol

He loved fishing. And not wearing a shirt.

Fun Weekend

2010-02-19T18:24:00.000-06:00

I'm not sure if I mentioned it before, but Lance is a HUGE fisherman. Loves fishing! One of his good friends is actually a pro. Well, we always go to the Bassmaster Classic every year. Well last year was my first year. The Bassmaster Classic is the "superbowl" of fishing. Anyways, this year's Bassmaster Classic is in Birmingham, AL. My mom live about 30 minutes from Birmingham so we're staying with her! We left this morning at 5:45! I told Lance that I loved him way to much for me to be waking up at 5 in the morning just to go to a fishing tournament! We got to Birmingham at noon, and went straight to the classic. We were pretty hungry when we got there so we grabbed a sausage hotdog and it was DELICIOUS. well i ended up feeling really really sick 30 minutes later. Ugh. I walked around for another 2 hours trying not to vomit all over the place but I finally told Lance I had to leave. So we left and went to my mom's. I felt so bad for making Lance leave and he missed the concert and weigh-in. But we still have tomorrow and sunday! I am feeling a little better so hopefully by tomorrow i'll be ready to go! I'll be posting pictures soon! Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!!

10 Things I Love about My Love

2010-02-15T16:23:00.001-06:00

There are so many people that put such a damper on Valentine's Day. I love Valentine's day. But I also feel that you don't have to have a day to show love to your significant other. I'll tell you about the valentines day Lance and I had! It started Thursday night, we decided to go out of town to a Lowe's to look for some stuff for our new house. So we QUICKLY decided to eat at Chili's for our vday dinner. That was our valentine's together :). We both split the bill, so we both spent money on each other for V-day. I loved it. We were able to just talk and laugh, and have no disruptions! But for the actual Valentine's day, Lance and I did nothing but work on the new house all day! And when I mean all day, I mean from 10:30 that morning til 8 that night! Whew we were beat! So, I thought I would do Mama M's Top 10 Things I Love About My Love!

The Top 10 Things I Love About My Love!
10. That he enjoys cooking..and he's really good at it!
9. That he never calls me by "Kasey" unless he's upset with me. It's always babe.
8. He never raises his voice. He always speaks very calm when we are in an argument.
7. His desire to go to church every sunday & be a better Christian.
6. How he encourages me to be a better person.
5. That he is constantly reminding me that i'm "yelling" when we are having a conversation in a restaurant..but he really knows..that's just how i talk.
4. That he's is very patient with me and his son.
3. That he is very protective over me and i know he has my back on anything.
2. How he tells me he loves me at the end of EVERY phone conversation.

And the #1 Thing I Love About My Love:
1. How forgiving he is to me! Without that, we wouldn't be where we are today!

I Love You Lance!

Saying Hi

2010-02-10T16:33:00.000-06:00

Hey Everyone,

i just wanted to stop in and say hi! I haven't been able to blog all week :(. I don't know if i mentioned but me and lance were trying to find another house to rent because our landlord's son needed the house we are in right now, so we have to move. For over a month, we have looked and looked and looked and NOTHING! well thank God for friends! Our friend's grandpa has an old house that he wanted to rent out. And it's just perfect for us! Out in the pretty country. It's a very old house, but thankfully Lance builds and remodels houses for a living. So, we are going to turn this old house, UPSIDE DOWN! This little house has so much potential and I can't wait to see what we are going to do. We are putting new ceiling in our bedroom, caden's bedroom, and in the kitchen and dining room. New carpet in our bedroom. New flooring in the kitchen and dining room. And fresh paint in our bedroom, caden's bedroom, the bathroom and maybe the guest bedroom. I'm also thinking about staining the kitchen cabinets and try to paint the countertops "marble". I have heard about it, and googled it today. It looks complicated so i'm not sure yet. If you know how to do this, comment please and tell me how!! Or anything else that may be simple! I'm going to take before and after pictures and post them when we're done! Can't wait to show you guys!!

Peace,

Five Question Friday

2010-02-05T11:35:00.002-06:00

It's Friday. A busy Friday for me. I've been busy at work. Then I've got to go buy condiments on my lunch break for our sunday school party tonight. Go to the party tonight, go home and pack for the weekend. Wrap my best friend's little girl's birthday gifts. Then hopefully sleep! Last but not least, I can't forget Five Question Friday! Head over to Mama M's blog and check her out.

1. What are you most afraid of?
Alot of things. Dying and leaving my family behind. Being unhappy my whole life. Being alone. Snakes. ugh, don't get me started on snakes. I've got a lot of fears, but I just try to put them in the back of my mind. Why stress over things that you can't change!

2. Do you use a flat iron or curling iron?
Flat iron! I used to have really short hair. But now that it has grown out some, i've been curling it with a curling iron and it's so cute! But I strighten my hair everyday. If you want to buy a good flat iron that will not torture your hair. Buy the Kyoski. I believe thats what its called. Of course it's a little pricey but totally worth every penny! My hair does not have one split end!!

3. Hands-free or phone to the ear?
phone to the ear. I dont think i could wear one of those bluetooth ear pieces either. but i like texting more than anything. :)
4. Do you have a matching bedroom set?
No. Maybe one day, but not right now. We have a light wood colored bed. And medium colored wood dressers. haha. You should see our nightstands. Lance built his (he's a construction worker), and he has drawers in his, and it's pretty high. Mine has no drawers, a completely different color, and a lot lower. They look so funny! Oh, and I have a black lamp, and he has a lamp that has ducks on it. We really should try to find some matching nightstands and lamps!

5. Do you believe in the paranormal?
umm..yes and no. I like hearing ghost stories, and of course walking in a dark house hearing creepy things, you start getting thoughts in your head. A town about 45 minutes away from my town, there is a long gravel road that has a story behind it for YEARS now! A man was walking on a railroad when he fell, and the train ran over him, and lost his head. So they way to see him is, you drive down the road until you get to a 4-way stop, you turn completely around so your facing back towards the same road you had driven on. You blink your lights 3 times and honk your horn 3 times and just wait. Then all the sudden far down the road, you start seeing a small blueish light. The light is the man lantern, he's supposed to be trying to find his head. The light sometimes starts getting bright, and side to side on the road. It even gets close to your car. It's SO fun to go!! I've been so many times that I couldn't count on my hands. The story has even been on the tv show Unsolved Mysteries. Til this day, they still don't know what that light is. Spooky huh!

Keep a lookout for a post coming up about some advice that I need. And I REALLY need it! It will be coming soon!
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Five Question Friday!

2010-01-29T10:23:00.001-06:00

It's Five Question Friday! It's Five Question Friday! Woooo Hooo!!! *doing a dance* Today has not started off the best. My boss is in a pissy mood, i'm sick with allergies, and some other personal things that i'm having to think alot about. It's just draining. But thank goodness for Mama M's Five Question Friday! If you've never visited her blog, you should go! Shes so fun!

1. Would you ever vacation alone?

I always told myself, that the only time I would ever vacation alone would be to "find myself again". That sounds a little dorky, but hey it's true. But other than that reason, there's no way I would vacation alone! I need someone to talk to and have fun with! I'm actually wanting to plan a vacation with some friends for next winter! We're thinking bahamas, or alaskan cruise!

2. Do you go the speed limit?
Well yah! Don't we ALL go the speed limit. I go the speed limit WHEREVER i'm going. Ok. I'm lying. Big time. I don't EVER go the speed limit. Ever. Sorry. I have a lead foot. I'm called Miss Speedster. The horrible driver. I go 75 in a 55. Don't ever let your kids ride with me. If you know what's best for you. Don't you ride with me either. I'm awesome at talking my way out of speeding tickets though. Done it 3 times.

3. Why did you start blogging/following blogs?
Well, I didnt even know what blogging was until about a year ago. A friend of mine has a blog and I went to it and seen it was pretty neat. Then I seen she was following an awesome blog name My Charming Kids. So I clicked on that, and became hooked! I followed MckMama and some other people's for about 6 months until I decided to make my own blog. Even though i'm quite boring, but i'm trying!

4. Where do you shop for yourself?
Hm. I never shop for myself. The last thing I bought myself was a sweater from Victoria Secret and thats because I had a gift certificate for it. But when I do have money to blow, I love victoria secret, forever 21, express (even though i dont buy from there), aeropostale, and etsy stores. But i'm addicted to furniture shoppping! i could stay days in furniture stores! it's so weird. i love antique furniture, sorta like MckMama's whole house! yeah i know, gorgeous right?

5. What was the song that you danced your first dance with your spouse to at your wedding...or...what song would you like your first dance to be to?
Me and lance haven't decided what we will dance to in our wedding. I love "Then" by Brad Paisley. Such a sweet song. He loves OLD country songs. So we may go with one of them. Who knows! But we have decided we will elope! Just us two, on the beach or in the snowy mountains.

Hope everyone has a FABULOUS weekend!

Five Question Friday!

2010-01-22T14:23:00.000-06:00

Yay! Five Question Friday again! Five Question Friday always mames Fridays even better! Head to Mama M's blog to check her out!
1. What is better, growing old with out money or dying young and wealthy?
Even though I love having money. I mean, you get stressed out when you have no money! You stress about not paying bills on time, etc. But money is not everything. And I feel that I have not lived my life yet. I still want to get married, have kids, have a career, etc. So, i'll have to say growing old with out money!

2. Who takes out the garbage at your house?
Ha. Well LANCE is SUPPOSED to. Well, he does take it out, but never on time. I believe thats a man's job! No woman should have to take out the trash!
3. Have you ever had the same dream many times?
Well of course you always have the dream of someone dying. Ugh, don't you hate those? I've also had the dream about saving peoples lives. I used to be a lifeguard, so I have dreams about saving drowning victims, or car wrecks and such! I guess I like being the hero! haha!

4. Can you play a musical instrument?
Does the air guitar count? haha! I would call myself musical challenged. I can't sing or play any instrument. I really wish I had a voice but I dont! But I bad to the bone on some air guitar!!!

5. If you owned your own store, what would you sell?
Hm, that's kind of a hard question. I've always wanted to own my own store. I believe it would be an etsy store, or a furniture store! I think it would be a mixture between etsy and antique store! Love Love Love stores like that. Ah, now I want to own a store. Darn.
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!

Where Have I Been?

2010-01-20T13:54:00.000-06:00

I miss blogging. I used to blog almost everyday, but i'm not around a computer everyday like I was. I started school last week. I only have two classes. Anatomy and Physiology II and the lab. It's already kickin' my butt. There is just so much information that it overwhelms me! But i'm going to make it through. It's so interesting learning about the human body. You wouldn't BELIEVE what the human body can do! I've started exercising and trying to eat right. I hope this will last. I really want to lose some weight and get in better shape. For the mornings i've been making a smoothie. They are so good! I was reading about Kendra Wilkinson's smoothies that she drinks every morning and so I decided to go with her recipe. Except I added protein powder in mine. Here is my recipe for breakfast smoothies.

5 ice cubes
1/2 milk or skim milk or greek yogurt
Protein Powder
4 Strawberries
Half a banana
Tablespoon of Granola or Special K cereal

Put in blender in this order:
Ice
Milk
Protein Powder
Banana
Strawberries
Granola or Special K
Blend until very smooth! It's delicious!!
You can add an entire banana but it was to banana-ny for me, so I only used half a banana. Enjoy!

Five Question Friday

2010-01-15T16:15:00.001-06:00

It's finally five question friday! I've had a pretty crappy morning so far. Woke up with a sore throat and a migraine, so I called into work and told them i'd be a little late. I went back to sleep for a couple of hours. Then went to physical therapy and ended up spilling water on my lap on the way there, so it looked like i peep myself. Then realized aunt flo came for a visit too..sigh. Today has not been a good day but THANKFULLY, the fun Mama M has me in a better mood because of her wonderful five question friday! So if you haven't played along, go on over to her blog and join in.

1. Worst trouble you ever got into as a teenager?
um, I wasn't the most nicely behaved teenager if I can put it that way. I wasn't the worst either. I never went to jail, or ever did crack. But I did come home with massive hickies on my neck one time. It looked like someone litterally took a baseball to my neck. So that was pretty bad. I snuck out of the house a few times but never once did anything bad when we snuck out. It was just the thrill of sneaking out! That's pretty much it. Yeah, I wasn't the best, but I had to get it out of my system. lol.

2. Are you a morning person or a night person?
Defintely, without a doubt, a night person! I HATE HATE HATE mornings! ugh. I'm not looking forward to having kids. I usually dont go to sleep til about 11 because I just can't go to sleep.

3. Are you a one-handed or a two-handed Texter?
Two-handed. Because I have the long keyboard that flips out. And thats really hard to try to do one hand.

4. Democrat, Republican, or Independent..or maybe even Green Party (whatever that is).
Republican. But never voted! Last year when I was actually of age to vote, I didnt know there was a "deadline" to register to be a voter, and I missed it. I was totally bummed to.

5. Are you a pet person?
I'm not a huge pet person. But I do love my little dog very much. I couldnt have a bunch of cats running around, or dogs. But I would like a lab though. I love labs.
I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!!!

How often do you wash your bras?

2010-01-11T10:34:00.000-06:00

So, I get an email once a week from Slate Magazine on an article called Dear Prudence. Prudence is a psychologist (or somethin like that) and she gives advice to people who email her. I actually love her advice, and the questions are sometimes CRAZY! The other week, I received an email and it was about all the advice for the whole year that she gave. She had wrote about some of the readers that emailed her about some of the advice that she gave, good and bad. There was one advice that she gave to a young man. He was really freaked out about his girlfriend not washing her bra everyday. So Prudence told him that it was completely normal for a woman to only wash her bra once a week. Well, a woman emailed Prudence and told her that was absolutely CRAZY that she told that young man that. That is was disgusting if a woman does not wash her bra everyday. She goes on to say that she was so freaked out about it that she even CALLED 94 women and not one of them said that they only wash their bra once a week.

So i'm totally freaked out because I don't wash my bras everyday. Especially in the winter when I dont sweat. Now, in the summer when its really gross and nasty outside, I make sure my bras are clean and not have my gross sweat on them. So, am I totally gross for this? Am I supposed to be washing my bras everyday. I just think washing your bras everyday can ruin them. I pay good money for my bras and dont want them to get messed up. I swap out my bras everyday, but just dont wash them everday. Can you even imagine having to hand-wash your bras every. single. night. thats just to much work for me. So i'm asking you, am I disgusting? Do I need to start washing my bras everynight. Or is that woman crazy? lol.

Let me know your opinions!!

Five Question Friday!

2010-01-08T15:29:00.000-06:00

I missed Five Question Friday last week, so i'm excited to be doing it today! I feel like I need to get on track on my blogging. When I miss a couple of days, I think my readers will get bored, and quit following me. So please dont stop reading, i'll get better! If you've never went over to Mama M's blog, go! She's totally cool, funny, and so fun to read! So go over there now!

1. What's your "comfort food"?

Ice Cream! It's 14 degrees out today, and I can still eat ice cream (is ice cream one word or two?)! My favorite is chocolate of course..but i love chocolate and peanut butter, and other kinds. Lance thinks i'm SO weird because I put ice cream in a bowl, then poor milk on top of it and eat it like that. Its just like a milkshake but not mixed up! So that can't be TO weird, can it?
2. Do you send Thank You's (handwritten or email)?
I really never sent a lot of Thank You cards. Even for my graduation gifts, I didnt send any out. How bad am I? Lance's mom bought me some REALLY cute note cards and a "K" stamp that I stamp on them. So I sent one as a thank you card to a lady that let me use her as a reference for the radiology program, and also sent one to my work for the cute candy basket they sent me after surgery. But when I do Thank You's, it is by handwritten, seems more personal to me.

3. If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would you choose?
The Bachelor, if I were single. Other than that, Friends! Love Love Love that show, even though its not on anymore.

4. What is your favorite online recipe site?
foodnetwork.com , bakerella.com , allrecipes.com , marthastewart.com , and one other that I completely forgot what it was!

5. If you had to choose: "Friends" or "Seinfeld"?
Oh wow, should I even answer this one?! Friend's is my all-time favorite tv show, EVER! I watched it every. single. day. and it never gets old. I have almost every season on dvd and I promise I could say every word that comes out of their mouths. Ok, now that i'm reading this, i'm thinking i'm a tad bit obsessed with Friends. I hope someone is in the same boat as me. lol.

Hope everyone has a fabulous friday!

I'm Back

2010-01-05T11:25:00.000-06:00

Boy, have I missed blogging! It was so hard to blog when i've been at my house with no internet for the past two weeks. I have tried keeping up with you all through my cell phone, but I could not leave comments. But i'm back! I hope to get back in to the swing of things. I had a wonderful Christmas break, which i'm still on until next Thursday, then I start back to school. I'm meeting with the advisor of the radiology program I am applying for tomorrow morning. I'll be getting some paperwork and see when my observation is. I'm pretty excited. I've got an interesting post coming up, so be on a look-out for that. Here are a few pictures from Christmas, yes, i'm late at getting them up, but some are to cute to pass up.

Emma Grace. Isn't she cute?

Opening presents with dad

His radio flyer scooter!

His new pony! He was really timid with it at first, and he wasn't

wanting to take pictures.

But he got used to him and started feeding him.

The shadow box me and my mom made my sister & brother in law.

Everything in the box is parts from their wedding.

Playing with the toys. Caden is drawing on an aquadoodle.

Parents, this thing is really cool. The pens are filled with water, so

no ink is involved.

Playing with his aquadoodle!

Happy New Years!

2009-12-31T11:44:00.002-06:00

Wishing everyone a Happy New Years! Please be careful tonight, don't drink and drive!

Not-Me Monday

2009-12-28T14:42:00.000-06:00

I have not done a Not-Me Monday is forever! I'm SLACKING! Hopefully I remember even how to do one!

It was NOT me that finally took time to put away my summer shoes and seen that it did NOT take two FULL boxes! That's sad.

It was NOT me that loved doing absolutely nothing for almost an entire week because of surgery. Who would want to do just nothing? That's just being lazy.

It was NOT me that loved having my mom at my house for a week, just to spend time with her, but secretly loving that she was cleaning my entire house for me. :)

And it is NOT me that had the best Christmas ever! Hope you all did too :)

Head on over to MckMama's blog to check out her Not Me Monday!

Merry Christmas!

2009-12-25T20:08:00.000-06:00

I hope everyone has had an AWESOME Christmas! I know I sure have! Apparently i've been a good girl this year because i've gotten more than expected! I have laid around (literally) in my pajamas all day! I just now put on clothes at 6 o'clock at night. We cooked and opened presents at my house. We had a redneck dinner! We had fried chicken, fried duck, peas, green beans, fried potatoes, cornbread, and corn casserole! and pies! And I loved every bit of it! I hate that I haven't posted in almost a week. I've been at home all week with no internet. It's been such a nice vacation...minus the surgery. I miss all my blog friends. I try to keep up through my phone, but I cannot post nor can I comment on anyones posts. Sorry. I'll be back to work on Monday, so i'll be posting a lot more. I just wanted to drop in and say Merry Christmas to you. Ill leave with a few surgery pictures. Their not very pretty.

When I just woke up from surgery. I was very ~~high~~ happy. I had tons

of blankets on me. They were even warmed! It was so cold in there!

My knee right after surgery. I had a drain put in because a blood vessel

ruptured.

The concotion me and my mom made up so I could FINALLY take a shower

after 3 days without one. It consists of seran wrap and a walmart bag.

My incisions after I took off my ace wrap. With the "yes" the guy

that prepped my knee wrote on there. I still have it on there too.

I guess the smart little guy used permanent marker. My knee is so

swollen you cannot even see my knee cap.

My goody bag that my work sent me! It had six pack of coke, and TONS

of candy! I've gained 10 lbs i'm sure! Sorry Keely and Mama M!

My new frappe machine Lance bought me for Christmas! It's so awesome!

You can make pretty much anything with this. It came with a recipe book.

Taste just like Starbucks!

Post Surgery

2009-12-20T17:53:00.000-06:00

Hey everyone,

Sorry I have not blogged, but unfortuntely I have no internet at my house still. The surgery went GREAT friday. Thank you to everyone who prayed for me. When I got in the office, they took me back to get prepped. My nurse was extremely sweet and got the IV in on the first try! yay! My surgeon came in and PRAYED over me! How awesome was that! I all the sudden just felt a sense of peace and safety. He prayed such an awesome prayer. Then they let my mom and dad come back and sit with me til I had to go into surgery. The nurse anathesists came back and gave me some "i dont care medicine" which in fact, made me not care. lol. He wheeled me on back to the O.R., gave me a warm blanket and put me to sleep. Next thing I knew, I was awake and mom was coming to my side! I was EXTREMELY thirsty and I told my mom that I was "parshed" haha. So the nurse gave me some sprite. I also remember asking my mom that I wanted to know the "street name" for that medicine they gave me. lol! The rest of the family was able to come back into recovery for an hour. Then they got me dressed, and off I went! Lance drove me home, which I slept the entire way. He got me in the house (he was great) and onto the couch. I started waking up and needed some pain medicine, so i took an oxycotton they gave me and fell BACK asleep for an hour and a half. I finally was able to eat some chicken noodle soup. I actually ate a can and a half! I was so hungry! My mom has been so great! she has waited on me hand and foot, has cleaned my entire house, has cooked, and put ice on my knee whenever i need it. We have wrapped tons of presents, watched tons of movies, and grubbed on goodies! haha. My work sent me a goody bag with candy galore! I was really sore yesterday, I pretty much laid on the couch with an ice pack. Lance's stepmom is an RN so she came to check on me and pulled the drain from my knee. The surgeon said they usually dont have drains for knee patients but a blood vessel ruptured so they had to put one in. Today was a better day! I have walked around some but still kept ice on. I was hoping to get pictures up, but my cell phone is not letting me upload to facebook for some reason? I hope to be able to post again soon!! I can check comments, so feel free to leave all the comments you want! See ya!

Hot and Healthy Thru The Holidays

2009-12-15T15:00:00.001-06:00

Wow, it's already week 7. That's crazy! Head to Mama M's and Keely's blog and check to see how their week 7 went!

Ladies...how's it goin'? We are down to our last three weeks of Hot and Healthy...can you see a difference?
I can't see much of a difference in my body, but I love knowing that I have not had a coke in over 5 weeks! I also have not had a sweet tea in over 5 weeks! I drink unsweetened tea with splenda, and also sugarfree crystal light. It's nice to know that I have accomplished just this! It may seems little to other people, but this is huge to me!! I have never been this long without a Coke in over 3 years!

How are you doin' with your cardio...did you get your four hours in? (Oh, and Keely's being easy on us...we're just gonna leave the cardio goal at four hours!)
Sorry Keely, I quit working out until I have my surgery friday. After the surgery, i'll start physical therapy, then i'll start back working out!

Have you been able to incorporate more fruits and veggies in your diet? How about water?
I love fruits and veggies any way, so just telling me to eat more, is fine to me! I eat veggie's almost every night. And i've also been eating an apple a day! I have been drinking more water, just not 8 glasses a day.

I hope everyone had a great week 7!!!

The good ole' days..

2009-12-12T20:24:00.001-06:00

Do you ever wish you could go back in time to jr. high or highschool so you could just be careless and have fun again? I was thinking about that tonight when I was doing Lance's little sisters hair and one of her friend's hair for their Christmas Dance. They are both in the 7th grade. We had so much fun just curling their hair, putting their makeup on, getting their dresses on, making sure everything was just perfect! Man, those were the good ole' days. I really didnt like jr. high because of all the back stabbing, rumor spreading, evil girls there were. But boy did I love highschool. I had hardly any responsibilities, got to sleep in on the weekends, barely studied, and was soooo boy crazy! I love my life right now and would not change it for the world, but it would be nice to go back and have hardly any responsibilities.

My bestfriend Whitney and I have so many memories that everytime we get together, we always go back and talk about all the fun times we had together. The other weekend, we decided to go sit in her old room and talk about memories for about 3 hours. Do you and your best friend ever do that?

We talked about everything from the good and bad times we had. It was such a fun time! This is my last weekend to be limp-free for a while. Next week after my finals, I'll be having surgery on my knee. I was not concered at all until I started thinking about getting put to sleep, and it's kind of creeping me out. I've never had to get put to sleep before so i'm not sure what to expect. Then on top of that, I had a dream the other night that i DIED from my surgery! Wow, exactly what I need huh! I know that it's just an arthroscopy surgery, and i'm even an OUTPATIENT, it's just that my nerves are getting to me. I'm not even worried about the pain ill have to go through because I have a great high pain tolerance, it's just the getting put to sleep thing. I know my nerves will settle once I talk to the surgeon and he explains everything that he's going to do.

I'll leave with some pictures of the girls and their hair! I wish I could have gotten better shots at their dresses, they were ADORABLE! I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

The back of hannah's hair. she has the most beautiful color red. This picture

doesn't do justice on the hair, it was so cute!

This was the back of Kim's. This picture really doesn't do justice.

Her hair was so thin, it was so hard to work with, but turned out great!

Kim and Hannah!

Hot and Healthy Thru The Holidays

2009-12-08T15:48:00.001-06:00

I didn't participate last week because I was hardly on my blog. I was just so busy. So am I this week, and the next. I have finals next week and i'm done with school for a month! Can I get a WHAT WHAT! Ahem..anyways.. I've been doing OKAY on eating healthy. Lance has even joined in with me, so we're both dieting and exercising. Well i'm not exercising, i'm holding out until my knee surgery. It's really painful when I exercise and i'm focused on getting my knee better. So after surgery and physical therapy, i'll be starting The Shred again, walking on our treadmille and ~~walking~~ gliding on the gazelle. Lance has already started walking on the treadmill. If he keeps this up, he'll lose 20 pounds in 2 month. Men just make me sick! It's so easy for them to lose weight! I have had no fast food, we've been eating at home, and i've been munching on fruit! Yay for me! I hope you all have been doing great too! Go check out Mama M and Keely and see their progress!!!

I've got a survey post coming up tomorrow. It's random questions I found and decided to answer them. So don't forget to stop by tomorrow!

Five Question Friday & Quick Post

2009-12-04T15:32:00.000-06:00

I feel like i've been neglecting my blog, but this week has been CRAZY! i've been so busy at work, and decorating, and these are the last two weeks of school so finals are coming up! I found out I will be having surgery on my knee on December 18th. So I will be down a few days, but it's nice that I wont miss school since i'll be out. I've got like 10 minutes to finish this post up, so i'm gonna do Mama M's Five Question Friday!

1. Favorite gift you are GIVING this year?

I can't say it on here because my family reads this, but I really can't think of anything special. It's going to be a tight Christmas this year. But I think i'm going to make everyone cinnamon candy for everyone and put it in jars.

2. How many parties are you attending between now and Christmas?
I dont think any? lol. Maybe our sunday school class is going to have one, but that's it!

3. What is your favorite Christmas song?
I don't have a favorite, love alot of Christmas songs!!!

4. Who was your favorite elementary school teacher and why?
Mrs. West. She was awesome!! I fell off a bench at recess one day, and landed on my knee and couldn't walk, and she came down, picked me up, and carried me all the way up a hill and into the school's office. She was like 7 months pregnant. She was a great teacher! I also LOVED mrs. funderburg to!

5. If you had a choice to live in any other period of time (other than now) what era would you choose and why?
I would love to live in the era when adam and eve was born. First, because I could slap Eve for doing the stupid things she did, because now child birth sucks because of her. And I would love to learn how to survive by killing animals with hand made knives and get to see wooly mammoths! haha!

P.S. I'm headed to Little Rock for my town's State Championship! Yep, that's right! Monticello is going to State for the first time in 15 years!!!!! whoooo!!! I'm so excited! It's supposed to be 20 degrees and snowing, but i'm packing on layers so I can cheer for The Billies (it's a goat)!!!!! I hope we win!

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!!!

A lot of pictures

2009-11-29T15:04:00.000-06:00

I haven't been able to post in a few days because I had to access to the internet. But i'm back, with a lot of pictures. I had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving. We spent Thanksgiving at my grandma's. I ate sooo much! I'm not feeling so hot and healthy :( . We had every dessert you could think of! My mom, my sister, and I decided to go shopping on Black Friday, and I actually enjoyed it! We did not get up at 4 in the morning to go shopping because we had nothing huge to buy. But my brother-in-law on the other hand, did. He actually got up at Best Buy at 8 o'clock the night BEFORE, and did not get into Best Buy til 5 that morning!! He and his brother stayed up all night in the freezing cold to get laptops. He needed a new one, and he also got another laptop and a desktop computer monitor for their church! He was like 10th in line or somethin'. He said the first people in line were there at 12 o'clock that afternoon! How crazy! Anyways, I got a lot of shopping done, and spent under 100 dollars!! I rock! Then yesterday, Lance and I took Caden to the world championship duck calling contest, about 1 1/2 hours away from the house. They had huge tents to buy stuff, a carnival, and then of course, the calling contest. Caden very much enoyed the carnival rides, until he looked like he was feeling sick on one of the rides, thank goodness he got through it without puking! A guy I work with and also Lance's bowling league teammate was in the calling contest, so we watched him. Well here are the tons of pictures from the past few days! Enjoy!!

My Christmas Tree!!

My sister, Megan, and brother-in-law, David

My Grandma, Me, Megan, and My Mom!

Watching one of his daddy's hunting videos. What 3 yr old watches HUNTING VIDEOS!?!?

Looking at the fish.

Caught ya!

This is the ride that almost made him sick. lol

Lance- "My son's a pimp!"

Logan in the calling contest!

On the way to church this morning.

He wanted to take a picture of me. lol

I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving!!!!

Hot & Healthy - Week 4!

2009-11-24T16:44:00.001-06:00

Wow, I cannot believe it's already week 4! I've done better this week than last week, but I still think I could have done even better.

Have you gotten into a good workout routine that you're able to stick to?

Not really. I still have not moved the treadmill into my den yet. I will do that soon though.
Did you try the Pilates exercise's..please say you did..please!?!
:( no. I still have no internet at my new house yet. So i usually only blog when i'm at work, or at lance's office. I promise Keely, I will try it as soon as I can!!!

Did you get all your cardio in?
No I did not :(. But I got more in than last week! I also try to park in the back of the parking lot at wal-mart, and all that good stuff to try to get a few more steps in when I can!

Did you have any fast food..if so, did Mama M's awesome healthy tips post make you choose more carefully?
I did have fast food, I really dont know what was better for me, so I just tried watching my portions and not eat everything in front of me!
Last, but sooo not least..Are you feeling Hot and Healthy?
Not totally there yet, but i'm hoping to get there soon!!!

I'm still so happy with myself that I have been off of Coke for 3 whole weeks now! Holy Cow! You guys have no idea how long that is for me...unless your the person that is addicted to coke or any other carbinated beverage like I am was. I really have been trying to watch the portions that I eat also. I've been staying out of the candy bowl at my work :). Thats another bonus point for me! lol.

Hope you hot and healthy girls are doing great!!!

Five Question Friday

2009-11-20T15:27:00.000-06:00

Ahh Friday! So happy it's friday! It's been a crazy week for me. Between school, orthopedic surgeon, more school, MRI at the hospital, school again. Today was a good day. I got up, went and go my MRI done, then HURRIED off to school to make up a test I missed due to the MRI. Thankfully I have a sweet teacher that let me make it up an hour late. Tonight i'm going to get my house cleaned so that I can put up my christmas tree tomorrow! I always wait til after Thanksgiving, but my mom is coming in from Alabama and I don't feel like messing with it when she's here. So tomorrow I have a free day, so i'm just going to do it then! Well today is Five Question Friday. Head to Mama M's blog and check her out. She's cool! The rules: Copy the questions, paste them to your blog, answer them, then head to Mama M's blog and link up! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
P.S. How do you like my new header? I'm not to sure about it, but it will do until I can make a really good one, with good pictures!

1. Are you a Black Friday shopper?
I've never gotten up early and went shopping, i'll wait til I have kids to do that. But i've been looking around and if I see anything on sale that I really want, i'll get up and go get it! I've been shopping for the last 2 months for Christmas!

2. What was your favorite childhood toy? (Think Easy Bake Oven, Cabbage Patch Kid, Shrinky Dinks, etc.)
This may not count, but probably outside. I was such a tomboy when I was little. I was outside every chance I got. We had a playhouse outside and I stayed in that 24/7! We had woods by our house, that I used to go "hiking" in. Haha! awww i miss those good ole' days.

3. Favorite Christmas movie?
The Grinch! haha. Love that movie.

4. What is the "must have" item on your Christmas list this year?
I really haven't thought about what I really want. I need some new Uggs. I have no boots to wear for winter. And I found this robe from Victoria Secrets that I fell IN LOVVVEEE with! It was amazing. So maybe someone will get that for me *hint hint* Lance *hint hint* :)

5. Do you go all out with decorations or do you keep it simple and classy?
I want to go all out with decorations, but I dont have the money to just go blow it. I get a lot of stuff from Lance's mom. Then if I find some stuff for cheap, i'll get it! I'm hoping to put Christmas lights up on the house this year. I can't wait to be able to go all out! I love decorating for holidays!

Doctor's Visit

2009-11-19T16:45:00.000-06:00

Yesterday was my visit at the orthopedic surgeon. I really like him! The first surgeon I went to, i didn't like so much. He got xrays done, and then told me that I was going to need an MRI done before he could tell me if I was going to need surgery (which it looks like I am). He said the tendon on the right side of my kneecap is pulling my kneecap to much to the right which is pulling it out of align. If I do have to have surgery, it will be microscopic, and they will go in and just cut my tendon?...I'm pretty sure thats how he told me. Tomorrow I will be getting the MRI done and then we'll go from there!

Now I have a blog question! I want a new header for my blog. I created one on picnik. Then went to photobucket.com and uploaded it and got a html code. Where do I put that code to get it on my header?! I've tried everywhere! Is it my blog design that won't let me or what? Plllleeeaaassseee help!! It's stressing me out! Is it the html code or what? Do I need to get a code somewhere else? Whatever you think it may be, please let me know, and try to explain to me what i'm doing wrong! Thanks so much!

Hot and Healthy Thru The Holidays

2009-11-17T15:46:00.000-06:00

I've been debating all day if I should even join in on the blog hop this week because I did just horrible this past week! I hardly exercised, and my eating habits weren't TO bad, but still could have been better. I've been letting things get in the way of my exercising. I'll want to do my exercise video but then say "well cleaning the kitchen needs to get done", or "I need to run to walmart". I just need to STOP and realize that I have to get my exercising done to get healthy! ugh. I'm so ashamed. But I will brag on myself that today was exactly 2 weeks since i've had a coke! or any carbinated(sp?) drink!!! except for half of a sprite. But as most of you know that i'm addicted to coke's and this is my new world record! yay for me!

So any of those that want to leave me a tough comment and tell me to get my butt up and get my exercises done, then be my guest! Maybe that will help me! I hope you all did a lot better than I did! Tomorrow is the big day, I go see an orthopedic surgeon at 10:30 in the morning to see what's up with my knees. Let's hope for good news!

No Not Me Monday

2009-11-16T16:04:00.000-06:00

I'm not doing Not Me Monday today because I seriously cannot think of anything right now. I cleaned almost my entire house this weekend, which was nice. I love having a clean house. I still have a WHOLE BUNCHA clothes to wash though. Ugh. It seems if you get behind on laundry, you NEVER catch up. It's very annoying.

I'm going to go see an orthopedic surgeon wednesday for my knees. Mostly my right knee. It started hurting the beginning of 2008. I went to my family doctor around october of 2008. She sent me to a physical therapist to work on it. My right knee was in pain, and everytime I would walk up and down steps it would pop and crack. It sounded nasty. I went to one of the best known physical therapist in the state of Arkansas, which happens to be in my hometown, and I used to go to church with him. Very great man. Anyone that lives in Arkansas and needs physical therapy. Go to Nat Grubbs in Monticello. He's awesome. Well after 10 therapy visits, a lot of electrical impulses, tons of ice packs, workouts, etc. Nothing helped. I was 1 in 5 people in his whole career that could not be fixed. Dr. Nat was not very happy about it either. So I went back to my family doctor and she sent me to an orthopedic surgeon. This was last December. He came in, looked at it, gave me a cortisone shot, and sent me on my way. I did NOT like him. He seemed like he just did not care at all. Plus, the cortisone shot didn't work. So now my right knee is in even more pain, and now my LEFT knee is doing the same thing! So I called Dr. Nat back and asked him to recommend someone for me. So i'm now going to another orthopedic surgeon and see what he thinks needs to be done. Let's hope NO SURGERY!! I'm most likely going to get an MRI done, which is nice because we NEED to figure out what's wrong. The last orthopedic surgeon didn't even talk about an MRI. Then hopefull it will be something that can be easily fixed. Let's hope!

So if you feel inclined to do...please say a prayer for me..I would greatly appreciate it! I'll keep you all updated and what the doctor says!

P.S. If you haven't went over to Mama M or Keely's blogs, you totally should. Their doing a Hot and Healthy Thru The Holidays, which is totally fun. I even won a pedometer from Mama M!!! How awesome is that! Thanks Mama M!

Five Question Friday

2009-11-13T15:42:00.000-06:00

I feel like I have been slacking on the blogging, i'm hoping to get better at this! But today is my favorite day of the week! Why? Because it's the weekend, and because it's Mama M's Five Question Friday! If you've never done Five Question Friday, I encourage you to join in! It's super fun and you get to connect to a lot of great people!!

P.S. Friday is still my favorite day of the week even though it's the 13th.

1. What is your favorite "eat" on Thanksgiving?

What kind of question is this!? I mean, it's Thanksgiving for pete's sake! How do you decide what really is your "favorite" food. I love absolutely EVERYTHING I eat on Thanksgiving. I seriously gain 10 lbs on Thanksgiving. I eat alllllll day long! I remember one year, my grandma baked these delicious rolls. I ate those rolls all afternoon, my poor belly was so swollen because of all the yeast in my stomach. haha! But not this year! This year is Hot and Healthy Thru The Holidays...and i'm stickin' to it! Oh, and I also love Cherry Pie...MMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!

2. What is the name your best girl friend and the best trait about her or how you met (or heck, both!!)
Well I have 2 best friends, Whitney and Lindsey. But I could talk about both forever, so i'll just stick with Whitney. Me and Whit because best friends in 7th grade when her uncle married my cousin. (That's how we met). We "literally" lived together, every single weekend. And i'm not kidding about that. If I did not come home on friday, my mom knew I was at whit's, and Vise Versa. lol. The best trait about her is that she is SO laid back! And that we are just alike, but we don't argue. Me and Whit have had 1 arguement in our almost 10 year friendship. She knows everything in my life, and I know everything in hers. She is the bestest friend a girl could ask for! She just had her first baby back in Feb. and she's the most precious thing you'll ever meet. Ok i'm done now.

3. What would you say is one of your "weirdest" quirks?
I will have to go with Mama M on this one. My sheets! I CANNOT lay in my bed if it is not made. I MUST have the fitted sheet completely straight and pulled over. and i must have my flat sheet straight on my bed, then have my comforter completely straight over my bed. haha. Lance thinks i'm so weird with this. And I cannot go without my sheets washed for a week. I wash my sheets every weekend. Some people go 2-3 weeks and I just can't do that!

I would also say, that I can't stand people doing things around me when i'm brushing my teeth. It makes me sick if someone tries to come brush their teeth beside me. I will throw a FIT! lol. It's so weird but that's just me!

4. What is your favorite genre of music? (Hip hop? Classical? Rock? etc.)
Christian and Country. I love rap to. I know, it's trashy, but I love the beats and stuff. It's fun to dance to! I love old rock and roll.

5. Are you a Night Owl...or an Early Bird?
Night Owl for sure! I hate getting up early! I could stay up all night. I actually stayed up last night til 12 just doing homework. Then had to get up at 7:15.

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

Homework

2009-11-11T20:45:00.000-06:00

I figured I would write a quick post, about nothing really. I want to get some pictures I took off my camera of Lance and I fishing this weekend, but I gotta get back to homework. Y'all do NOT know how happy I will be when this semester of school is over! ahhh! I will be so happy. It's been a tough semester!

I'm watching the CMA's, and they are extremely funny this year!! I'm loving it! I was writing this post for a reason. lol. Well I hope to actually have a better post tomorrow!!

Hot and Healthy Thru The Holidays- Week 2!

2009-11-10T15:13:00.000-06:00

Week two is beginning! And lots more exercise and eating tips are coming up from Keely and Mama M! Here are a few questions for the past week that all of us hot and healthy girls are answering!!

How'd your first week go? It went ok. I could have done better!

Did you get your cardio in? Not the 150 minutes like i should, but i'll try better this week! Some things came in the way of that, ill try not to let it happen this week!

Did you try any of Mama M's snacking tips? yes! i really just watched my portions. And GOT OUT OF MY CANDY BOWL at work! I also quit drinking soda's all together!

Did you at least try Keely's Pilates Hundred? No because I dont have the internet at my new house yet. But i'll try to get it some how!

Are you taking this as seriously as we are? Yes I am! I'm just slacking a bit!

What are your thoughts? I love this idea. It's great knowing that there are more women out there going through this with me!

Instead of 150 minutes.. we are now adding 20 minutes on to that! so for the next week, we all need to get in 170 minutes of cardio!!! We can do it girls!

Fabulous Find!

2009-11-07T18:49:00.000-06:00

It has been a LONG day for me. We went and visited lance's mom last night and stayed, and today, I really didn't do much, but I feel so exausted. So now on a Saturday night, i'm laying around blogging :). I know this is not Friday, but I have to tell you a fabulous friday find. Old Navy had a huge sell going on for just today only. They had their scarves $1.00 each!! And they were not just decorative scarves, they were fleece scarves! You could only get 5 scarves though. You then had to check out and go get more scarves, and stand in line again. So I decided to just get five!

I was so happy I was able to find some great scarves for winter! Now we're home, just relaxing for the night. I'm thinking about going to bed early, some reason, i'm just extremely tired! Here's a pic of Caden on the way home, he was tuckered out! He had a long day as well!!

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!!!

Five Question Friday

2009-11-06T15:56:00.000-06:00

It's Friday..so you know what that means! Five Question Friday! Head on over to Mama M's blog that created Five Question Friday, she's a hoot!

1. What is your dream job?

Well it would have to be a talk show host! lol! Like Oprah or Tyra! I know so silly, but that would be so awesome! But there's a reason why i'm trying to get into radiology school. I want to go into the medical field.
2. What song could you play over and over?
I will probably be laughed at by this but it would be, Sinead O'Connor "Nothing Compares To You"! haha! My girlfriends and I used to sing this song to the top of our lungs riding backroads on a Saturday night! lol. It's such a fun song to listen to with your friends! If you've never heard of it, GO DOWNLOAD it!!! Sooooo good...and OLD! lol!

3. Do you prefer to talk on the phone or text (or email)?
Text. Just because i'm always in class or at work, so it's easier for me. I use my email 24/7 though. So that's a good way to get in touch with me!

4. What is your must have beauty product?
Ugh, such a hard question! probably my mascara. but i'm a huge moisturizer! Having my mascara on, feels like having my whole face on! lol. I have really long and thick eyelashes also, so thats nice :). I use moisturizer 2 times a day, so I couldnt live without that!

5. What is your favorite Michael Jackson song?
THRILLER! I love thriller because it reminds me of my highschool days when the pom squad and cheerleaders does the thriller dance every halloween. It is so cute! Oh, how i miss those days!

Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!!

Motivation

2009-11-05T12:27:00.001-06:00

I'm sore.. hurting.. tired.. and hungry. But i'm MOTIVATED! I'm so happy Keely and Mama M have started the Hot and Healthy Thru The Holidays! On some of my previous posts, I've talked about how i've "let myself go" through the past couple of years. But i'm ready to have my old body back. I want to be able to chase around Caden without being out of breathe! And the first time in ALLLLL of the diets i've tried, I feel extremely motivated because so many of you gals out there are doing this with me! Yay!

I started the Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. That is HARDCORE. I was warned but I wanted to try it. I actually love it but i'm going to take it easy on that workout. Some of the exercises are really tough on my knees. I've got bad knees and it's not worth making them worse for just that certain exercise. Keely just posted a pilates video and I can't wait to try it. Mama M just posted how to snack properly with some great ideas! I excited to start snacking the "right" way! I hope everyone keeps each other motivated because I'm definitly looking for the help!!

I'm sooo looking forward to going from..

This...

(I'm in the blue shirt)

Back to this

(This was my Junior prom a little over 3 years ago.)

I really hope to stick with this and see progress!!!!!!!!

I can't...

2009-11-03T16:32:00.001-06:00

...get enough of this little girl. :)

Hot and Healthy Thru The Holidays!

2009-11-03T13:47:00.001-06:00

Some really cool blog gals Keely and Mama M have come up with an awesome way for all of us to stay healthy through all of the holidays coming up! It's called Hot and Healthy Thru The Holidays. Every Tuesday, they will have a blog hop, where everyone that wants to participate can link up and Keely and Mama M will be giving healthy eating tips and exercising tips! Keely will also be giving everyone a goal to meet at the end of each week. We will keep up with our time that we exercise. I have NO will power whatsoever, so i'm really hoping and praying with all the women that are doing this, that I will to! I have pretty much "let myself go" since i've been out of highschool and it's killing me. I know that Keely and Mama M did not start this up for dieting, they did it to get people back into eating healthy. But i'm really hoping as I go with this, I will shed a ~~alot~~ few pounds to. I'm going to go get the Jillian Michaels workout dvd today. and also go get some workout equipment that my mom has in a storage building. My worst mistake is EATING! omg, I eat so horrible. Anything that is SWEET in front of me, I eat! I have a HUGE candy bowl at my desk for the employees and people who walk in the door. Since it's right beside me, I eat candy out of it like 3-5 times a day. So bad I know! So i'm so excited for Keely and Mama M to be giving me some helpful hints! Yay! So here we go!

Not Me Monday

2009-11-02T15:25:00.002-06:00

Where has the weekend gone?! I have been EXTREMELY busy all weekend. Actually, i've been busy starting last Thursday. But that's a whole nother' post. So, Not Me Monday is back! MckMama has not been able to post a Not-Me Monday due to baby Stellan being in the hospital, but go ahead and go over to her blog and love on baby Stellan.

We had a Heaven and Hell house at our church and I so DID NOT take some small children that could not(they really could not) go through hell just to the heaven part to meet their parents there. And my pastor so DID NOT miscount the group number so I so DID NOT take two children into heaven in the wrong group and sat there with them through the whole heaven scene, without their parents!

While doing the last night of Heaven and Hell house last night, I was NOT asked out of the blue to be an angel in heaven. I totally DID NOT say yes! and then realize that I had to take off my blue jeans. I DID NOT freak out about wearing just white shorts underneath because my robe was short and I HAVE NOT shaved my legs in a week!

My friends that were in heaven with me DID NOT call me, hairy angel all night. Nope, they love me more than that.

And I definitely DID NOT have the most absolute, fabulous, time with the most greatest people in my life! Nope NOT ME!

Five Question Friday

2009-10-30T15:56:00.003-05:00

Today is Friday, so you know what that means! FIVE QUESTION FRIDAY! I have been sooooo tired today. My church is presenting the Heaven and Hell House last night til saturday night, and I stayed there til almost 12 last night. Heaven and Hell House is an amazing play that shows you what we think heaven and hell are like! It's amazing! we only do it every three years because it's so much time put into this. But this is a whole nother' post. Back to the questions! If you want to participate in the Five Question Friday...head to Mama M's blog!!!

1. What were you doing the last time you really had a good laugh?
At heaven and hell house. I was keeping kids in the nursery, and there was a little girl in there that was so spoiled, you were actually amazed at her. I've never seen anything like it. She kicked, threw things, screamed, cried, whined, everything you can think of. And we could NOT do anything to help her. We eventually was so shocked by this little girl that we just started laughing at her. I know thats horrible to say on my part, but I was just so amazed at how spoiled some kids are!
2. Who was your first CELEBRITY crush?
Oh gosh, probably Nick Lachey off of 98 degrees! haha! Then Justin Timberlake, and etc. hehe
3. What is one talent that you wish you had?
A beautiful voice! I wish I could sing so bad. I have the worst voice you've ever heard! I would love to be able to sing in the choir at church, but there's no way i'm doing that unless there's a miracle somehow!
4. How often do you and your spouse go out w/o the kids? Is it frequent enough?
Well since I don't have a spouse yet...me and my boyfriend get to go out whenever we want! But that's unlikely. I'm always studying. We go out every once and a while.
5. What colour(s) is your bedroom?
I'm renting a house, and my bedroom is this ugly blue-ish wallpaper w/ this grandma-ish flower border. I wish I could paint but the landlord won't let us. It's ok, it's actually a great house and I love it.

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! I'm about to get off work, go take a power nap then head to the Heaven and Hell House again!

Wordless Wednesday

2009-10-28T11:56:00.002-05:00

So this is not so wordless, and not a very good picture. But I can't help but to share him. I just could love all him all the time. For some new readers, this is Caden. Lance's(my boyfriend/bestfriend) little boy. He is the sweetest, most hyper, sensitive, laughing, little boy i've ever met. I'm sorry my pictures aren't very good. I have no professional camera (even though I hope to get one one day), and I do not have photoshop(even though I asked for it for Christmas). So please bare with me. When I get photoshop, I hope to be able to make a very cute header. My blog is so boring looking! And I hope to also edit photos, it seems like a lot of fun! So in the next few months, I hope my blog will be a lot more prettier! haha! I just hope y'all stick around for it!

Hope you all have a great day!
P.S. please be praying for baby Stellan, he's not looking good.

Honest Scrap Award!

2009-10-27T08:39:00.013-05:00

I have only been blogging a month now, and a sweet blog reader (as I also read her) of mine, awarded me the Honest Scrap award! How special do I feel! Thank you Emily! It's fun reading Emily's blog because she is also a college student, that goes through the same crazy things I have to go through, so we can relate!

So, when awarded the award, there are a few rules!

1)You must thank the person who gave the award and list their blog and link it.
2) You must share "10 Honest Things" about yourself.
3) You have to present this award to 7 others whose blogs you find brilliant in content and/or design, or those who have encouraged you.
4) Last, you must tell those 7 people they've been awarded HONEST SCRAP and inform them of these guidelines in receiving the award.

I'm going to award my seven people first. And the award goes to....

Lindsey at Life As A Preachers Wife: Lindsey is my best friend, we've known each other for years. Lindsey deserves this award, because she encourages me everyday to be a better christian!

Kristen at The Harveys: I've known Kristen a long time, we went to school together. She has such a cute blog, and an adorable son Hudson. Go check him out!

Misty at Wind Beneath My Wings: I love Misty's blog. I've been following her for a while. She has such a precious family. She is a great christian mother, posts lots of pictures of her children, and her blog is just fun to read! Did I mention she has precious children?

Laura at Laura's Life: Laura found me a few weeks ago, I can relate to her just like Emily because she is also in college at Penn State. She is a great blogger!

Jackiedlc at One Step At A Time: Jackie's blog is very inspirational to read. She is constantly spreading the word of God. When I need a boost of encouragement, I know exactly where to go!

The (Un)Experienced Mom: Like me, she has only been blogging about a month. Even though she is new, she has such a cool blog! Go check her out, she gives great advice on exercising tips and alot of other things!

Raechel at Finding My Feet: Raechel is very popular in the blogging world, with almost 400 followers. Her blog design is so cute, and she posts about the neatest things! Her blog never has a dull post. She talks about all the great buys that she gets a rummage sales and how she decorates her ADORABLE house!

10 Honest Things About Me:

1. I bought my first car (not really my 1st, my parents bought that one) this past march. I was so nervous about making payments but i've made my payments 2 weeks ahead of each payment.

2. My credit score is in the 700's. I'm 20. :) So i'm pretty proud of that.

3. I'm applying for radiology school in December, extremely nervous that I won't get in.

4. Me and Lance's 2 year anniversary was last Friday. We both forgot about it. I'm always good at keeping up with that stuff.

6. When i'm out of college, married, have a house built, etc. I want to adopt a child.

7. I LLLOOOVVVEEEE deer meat! i'm from the south, and that's what we pretty much eat all winter long.

8. I'm a big dare devil. Lance is not. We are complete opposites, that's what makes up complete each other! (that was corny i know).

9. I watch Nip Tuck. Yes, i know. Very dirty tv show. But I love the drama in it!

10. My celebrity crush is Shia Lebouf. Yum.

I wish I could award more of you but most of the women have already received awards. Thanks again Emily for giving me the Honest Scrap award!

Five Question Friday

2009-10-23T16:20:00.003-05:00

I've got a few minutes before I leave work, so i'm going to post Five Question Friday! I've been so busy today that I completely forgot about it! Head over to Mama M's blog to check her out!

1. Whats your favorite horror movie?

I'm not really sure! I dont really have a favorite? I haven't watched one in forever, even though I love them. I would say the Screams, or The Grudge!

2. Bath tub or Hot tub?

Bath tub. Only because I was listening to Dr. Oz the other day on my XM, and he said that syphilis(spell check?) can get transferred through hot tubs because they never get cleaned, and that totally freaked me out!

3. Do you prefer to view a movie at the theater or at home?

Both, if I REALLY want to see a movie at the theatre i'll go watch it, or if I want to go on a date. But I love renting from Red Box and watching them at home.

4. If you could chose a maid, cook or chauffeur, which one would you choose?

Maid! It seems that I have no time to clean anymore with school going on.

5. Electric Slide, Boot Scootin' Boogie, or the Macarena?

Macarena! reminds me of when I was little and used to dance to that all the time! haha!

P.S. i'm about to leave and go see my sis for her birthday. My mom is down so i'm very excited we all get to spend the weekend together! yay!

The Four Letter Word

2009-10-21T15:39:00.003-05:00

Yes, that's right. The four letter word every woman hates. The word that makes a woman cringe when it's said. The word that makes you suck in your gut, trying to tell yourself you don't need to listen to that word. Yep, you know what i'm talking about, DIET!! ugh, don't it just make you sick even thinking about it. Well i've been thinking about that stupid word for two years now. The two years that i've gained so much weight that i'm ashamed of myself. Yes all these nice ladies at church is just telling me "it's apart of growing up, and becoming a woman". But to me, it's just stuffing my face every piece of food I see. I'm a HUGE junk food addict. I have the biggest sweet tooth you can ever imagine. Candy never gets old to me. Or cookies, or brownies. I know, sickening right?

So i've decided, if i put my heart into it, i'm going to try to lose some weight. I'm also doing this to get healthier. I've only been out of highschool for a little over two years, and i've gotten so out of shape, it's unreal. I also think it will help boost my self-esteem and my mood swings by just eating healthy. So what's the problem? I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DIET!! Call me stupid, I don't care. All I know, is greasy fast food, and sweets. Yes there is the whole "grilled chicken and veggies". But to me, that's gonna get old quick. So I need some help. Can you please tell me some foods that I can cook and whip up that are healthy and low-fat, low-calorie, low-carb, whatever! I'm a busy woman so it's tough for me to make this big gourmet meal, so maybe things a little easier? I would like to be able to make some stuff the night before so I can bring it in to work with me the next day as a snack. Because my worst problem is getting hungry and reaching for my candy bowl. I love pretty much any kind of food, so there's nothing that will hold me back from trying. I love any meat, vegetables, anything. Oh and exercising? Any dvd's that you recommend that I can do at home?

If you have any ideas, I would so much GREATLY appreciate them. Leave all the recipes, and tips you have! And any of your friends that have blogs and you think they have some great recipes, send them over!!! Have a great week!

Not Me Monday!

2009-10-19T12:00:00.004-05:00

It's Not Me Monday again! Go over to MckMama's blog and read her HILARIOUS..and i mean HILARIOUS Not Me Monday today!!

It was NOT me that stuffed a queen size comforter into my washing machine to clean it, instead of taking it to the dry cleaners or a laundry mat. It was NOT me that came back 20 minutes later to find water all over my laundry room floor. It was NOT me that realized the comforter was to big for the washing machine and the water poured out of the back of the washing machine.

It was NOT me that got a new 40' flat screen as an early christmas present from my mom because it was on sale! Nope NOT me!

And I totally do NOT watch Friend's 24/7 on my new tv b/c I totally do NOT have cable!

Hope you all have a great Monday!

Five Question Friday!

2009-10-16T12:07:00.007-05:00

It's Friday again. So you know what that means! Five Question Friday! I'm been slacking lately and haven't been blogging. But I hope to catch back on things though. Thank you Mama M! This is such a fun thing to do! Go over to her blog and check her out!

1. What phrase, or phrases, do you say a lot (holy cow, geez, seriously?)

I say what? because i usually don't understand something. lol!

2. Swimming: Are you a kamikaze off the boat, take the plunge from the deep end, or a gradual, slow submersion from the shore or shallow end kind of person?

Take the plunge from the deep end! i'm a huge dare devil!

3. Have any tattoos? If not, what would you get?

No tattoos, I've seriously considered one, but I have no idea what I would get. So most likely, I will never get one. Unless a mid-life crisis hits or something.

4. What is your favorite tree?

Well I work in a forestry business, so I deal with a lot of trees. Pine, Gum, White Oak, etc. So I really don't have a favorite, they all get kind of old to me. lol!

5. Two pronged question: What is your favorite non-physical thing about your spouse? What is your favorite physical thing about your spouse or significant other?

I like that he's EXTREMELY patient! With everything. With me, caden, teaching stuff to people, etc. I've never seen someone so patient in my life! I love it. :) My Favorite physical thing about Lance would be his eyes. He has pretty eyes. :)

Peace!

Not Me Monday!

2009-10-12T15:19:00.003-05:00

It's Not Me Monday again! I love doing these because like MckMama , your able to get out all of your faults, that really you would never want anyone knowing.

It was not me that heard the dog vomiting this morning in my bedroom floor, and it was not me that just laid there because I was "to tired" to check on her. Who cares if the dog is vomiting on my bedroom floor right?

I did not put the same socks on this morning that I wore yesterday. I would never do that! Even though I had walked all over my dirty kitchen floor with them, and knew they were dirty, and still did not put them on just because they were brown, and I needed some brown socks to wear.

I absolutely did not use my toothbrush this morning, when I knew my ferret climbed on top of my bathroom sink, and grabbed my toothbrush and tried escaping with it. I would never just run my toothbrush under hot water and still brush my teeth with it. That is just nasty, and unsanitary!

I would never continue to drink this coke on my desk when I have a horrible ulcer in my mouth. Nope, I would never continue drinking an acid-like drink just because I "need" my daily Coke fix.

And lastly, I'm totally not sitting here at my desk, with papers strolled in front of me, acting like i'm working on something, just so I can work on my Not Me Monday post. Nope, I would never do that.

Hope you enjoy!

A Woman After God's Own Heart

2009-10-10T14:00:00.004-05:00

In my sunday school class, the women decided to separate from the men and start our own little class and start reading this book:

Written by this woman:

I'm not a big book reader, unless it consists of drama. haha. I love reading Lurlene McDaniel books, but that's all i usually read. So I wasn't to sure about having to read a book for a class, since I hated doing it in high school.

We are in our third week, third chapter, and I absolutely LOVEEE it! I was nervous at first because there are a lot of chapter about how to deal with marriage, and i'm not married. But there is never a wrong time to learn about marriage. We are in the chapter about prayer. Something that I have issues in right now. I pray, but not enough. And not on everything I should pray about. Elizabeth George tells you her life experiences on prayer, and also how to get better in praying, what to pray for, when to pray, how to pray. It's helping me little by little, step by step to be a woman after God's own heart. I can't wait to get into the rest of this book. I would defiantly suggest this book to any woman. The men also are reading A Man After God's Own Heart, written by Elizabeth George's husband. They are not reading it out of class because we knew they wouldn't read it, so they are just doing it in the classroom, but so far they are really loving it to. I would suggest that book to any man to. Look for more updates on this book, i'm sure i'll be talking all about it as I get more into the book!

Have a great weekend!
