It shouldn't come as much of a surprise that I thoroughly enjoyed the Super Bowl this year. Even though I didn't feel an intense hatred or love for either of the teams, I found a reason to be invested in a Saints win over Ben's beloved Colts.

Week one down, eight more to go!

Yesterday afternoon, Todd asked me if I would take Alex and his friend Micah to Roanoke with him to see Walking with the Dinosaurs. Free tickets! Since I have nothing better to do in life, I agreed, and soon we were on the road. An hour, McDonald's chicken wrap, and detour to a parking garage later, we found ( Read more... )

 Somehow, I've managed to neglect updates for the past month. Perhaps it's because I haven't been in town for more than 3 or 4 days at a time before I go on another trip. Therefore, it seems another list update is appropriate.

1. In the first weeks of my residence, my new house has been inaugurated with many cousin bonding activities: slumber parties, ( Read more... )

How is this month over already?

I've managed to keep myself pretty busy since starting back with school. Mostly trying to get into running (still don't have the self-discipline to really make it a habit yet), going to school, doing absolutely nothing on cold/ice days. Pretty much the same old thing, so that's why I've been so reclusive lately.

Over the years, Thanksgiving has become my absolute favorite holiday. It's always been neck-and-neck with Christmas, but recently I've decided that there's so much hype around Christmas that the day itself is a little disappointing. Don't get me wrong, I still loooove Christmas and the season surrounding it - but Thanksgiving is just so much more ( Read more... )

This morning as I was rushing to get ready for school, I received this text message:

 Miscellaneous thoughts:

at band camp?? That phrase has been overused to the point where I can hardly introduce the topic in conversation without having the line recited to me in return. This past week has brought back so many good memories though, so I've been pretty pumped about being involved in colorguard again. I have a group of 10 girls and ( Read more... )

 What a week.

Lisa and I have begun to implement a new concept into our fitness plan: running. We joined Curves at the beginning of May and to give ourselves something else to do on our off days from the circuit workout, we decided it would be a good idea to get in some cardio. However. I suck at running. So while Lisa takes off running for miles, I ( Read more... )

It's my last week of freedom in Lynchburg before I start working as a teacher. Holy. Crap.

It's been a good one. Aaron, Dustin, and I met Mike and his friend Brittany at Busch Gardens on Tuesday.. I enjoyed the ride there much more this time now that I knew I had nothing to fear and couldn't wait to get on the front row of "THE GRIFF" again. We rode ( Read more... )

No worries, I dragged Leah, Aaron, and Rachael with me to the creepy downtown 7-11 around 11 last night to partake in the traditional slurpee.. while I was ridiculed before about being "obsessed", they finally saw why I think this is so cool and exciting.
