Challenge: Almost Accepted

I know I said I was going to do the whole March photo-a-day thing,

but to be quite honest:

this month's topics are LAME!

No offense to whoever created it, but really?

Worst topics ever.

Which is why I have decided to skip a few.

I will still list them for you...

but only so you can agree with me about how lame the are.

Day 20: Before/After

Here is Michael's care Before

and Michael's car after.

*Hint: Its not the same car.

Refer to this post.

Day 21: Delicious

Crave Cupcakes with Sister and Jonathan

Definitely Delicious.

Day 22: Kitchen Sink

Really?

Who wants a picture of their kitchen sink?

Not this girl.

Day 23: Moon

There was literally no moon.

Bor-ing!

Day 24: An Animal

We were at the zoo so we saw lots of animals,

but these were my favorite!

 Day 25: Breakfast

Poptarts.

My breakfast every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday.

Delicious, and easy to eat in the car.

*Slash, they aren't that easy to eat in the car...

which is why Michael is a little angry at me for all the crumbs all over my car.

Oops.

Day 26: Key

Speaking of my car:

I have had it for almost 3 years now,

and I still love it as much as the day I got it.

Day 27: Name

This is the new magnet I got in Galveston!

It matches the apron/towels that I got for our wedding!

Tomorrow's topic is trash.

Really??

We'll see if that happens.

Sister Visit

This past week my sister and her boyfriend, Jon, came to visit us!

Jon was on Spring Break from school, and Bailey used some vacation days.

We had SO MUCH fun!

It was a week full of touring Houston,

(which we only seem to do when people are visiting us, which makes it even better)

playing video/board games,

and just catching up with each other.

I have to say though, sister and I have very different sleep schedules, 

so I was a extremely little tired while they were here, but luckily I stole a few naps.

It was well worth it though! 

 They got here on Tuesday evening 

and within 30 minutes Jon had figured out how to put the hutch on my desk!

I've only been trying to figure it out since July!

Haha!

Wednesday, I took Bailey and Jon to the Galleria.

Jon was pretty impressed with the size of the mall,

but a little confused about why he was the only one in cowboy boots!

I guess the cowboys only come out for the rodeo here in Houston. Haha!

Next we went to the Williams Water Wall.

I had actually never been here, 

so it was a first for me in Houston too!

The weather was absolutely perfect, so after the wall we went to get cupcakes.

So yum!

Thursday, I had class :(

but Michael took Bailey and Jon to the Houston Holocaust Museum, 

and then to Lakewood, the biggest church in America.

Friday was our Galveston day.

Jon had never seen the ocean, so we did pretty much every touristy thing you can do.

1) We rode the ferry

 2) Went shopping on the Strand

3) Found a pirate ship

4) Spent the afternoon at the beach

Saturday, we got up and went to the Zoo.

It was a good thing we got their early, because it was packed!

After the zoo, we went to see the Hunger Games!!

It was so good!

I loved every minute of it!

It was one of the best book to movies I have ever seen!

We finished the weekend with dinner at Gringos.

However, Bailey refused to try to green sauce.

We had such a great time with Bailey and Jon this week!

We know how far of a drive it is, and how hard it is to get days off,

so we REALLY appreciate when our family takes time to come visit us.

It means so much, and we don't mind losing a little sleep because time with family means so much to us! 

Bailey and Jon - Thanks so much for coming to visit!

We love you guys and can't wait to see you again soon!!

Where Did Spring Break Go?

I really think that Spring Break should be 2 weeks long.

The first week to do Spring Break type of things - aka everything but homework and other things you actually need to get done.

And a second week to do the stuff you were supposed to do but put off instead.

I feel so behind!

Things have been absolutely crazy with youth activities, road trips, car troubles...

I'm in stress mode.

But it will all be better tomorrow because my sister is coming to visit!

I'm so excited!

I wanted to do a quick post to catch up on my photo-a-day challenge, before I am too busy with Bailey and Jon. 

So here you go.

Day 14: Clouds

It was Wednesday, so I was at church

Day 15: Car

Michael's new car!!

(More on this in a later post!)

Day 16: Sunglasses

Just riding around Tulsa with little Miss Emily!

Day 17: Green

The worst part about living in the 'burbs' is that you have to keep your lawn looking good.

We got home from Tulsa and our yard looked awful.

Everyone else on the street had perfect lawns.

And we had to keep up...and get rid of the leaves we never raked.

Oops

Day 18: Corner of my Home

The coat rack corner.

Slash, the only piece of furniture in the entire room.

Day 19: Funny

I've hated on this movie forever.

I don't like Chris Farley.

I don't like messes.

Hence, I don't like this movie.

However, it actually was pretty funny.

The end!

Now, back to the school life.

No Sleep at the Sleepover

I had the girls sleepover on Monday night, 

and I think I am still recovering.

I just can't get enough sleep! 

Perhaps because I was awake for 26 hours.

Or perhaps my body knows that it is Spring Break, so it just wants to sleep all day every day.

The sleepover was so much fun though.

Like said we would...

We painted nails

 We played Rock Band and Just Dance

 We ate delicious snacks.

Day 12: Fork

We also played some pranks, which brings in many more forks

Our preacher mentioned that dishes were a woman's job this past Sunday,

so we gave him approximately 200 forks,

just to give him a little practice in cleaning up dishes.

It was perfect!

Some of the girls were also able to get the boys at the their sleepover with water balloons

because some youth minister accidentally got them all locked out of the church building.

Hahaha!

It was also perfect!

Unfortunately there are no pictures.

And we definitely didn't get any sleep.

I am very proud of myself though because I stayed up the entire night (until 10:30am to be exact)

and I did not have ANY caffeine!
I haven't had any soda in a month and a half,

so all I drank was water.

I was actually less tired drinking water than I was at the lock-in when I was downing Diet Coke.

Day 13: Sign

These were left at my house after the sleepover so I took it as a sign that I should play them as much as possible before giving them back. 

Now, I think I need a nap.

;)

Poor Little Red

Spring Break is really here!

How can I tell?

Well, mostly from the 20 girls I have staying at my house tonight for a sleepover!

Call me crazy, but I love sleepovers.

We do our nails.

We eat tons of really unhealthy but extremely delicious snacks.

We play Just Dance.

We watch movies.

The only bad thing is that I'm getting old.

Staying up until 7 in the morning is not as easy as it used to be.

More on that tomorrow though.

For now, I will catch you up on my photo-a-day challenge.

Day 8: Window

Buster and I spent our day just relaxing and watching the rain.

Day 9: Red

Here is Michael's little red Neon after it got in a fight.

 He (and Buster) are both okay.

Michael just ran out to deposit a check, and since Buster loves car rides - he took him too.

While driving through the parking lot, a lady t-boned (is that the word) him.

Michael was driving down the parking lot thru-street.

The lady was going down one of the lanes.

Its common sense that you stop at the end of the lane.

Unless you are this crazy lady, in which you decide to go about 20 when you get to the end.

Totally her fault.

Poor little red was undriveable (am I making up words here?)

And she will be in the shop for a while.

The best part is that Michael was wearing "house clothes" consisting of a girls' retreat shirt (neon green with flowers) small athletic shorts, socks, and flip flops.

Ha! 

And he had to stand outside for over an hour.

Poor guy!

Day 10: Loud

 When we are together, we are always laughing, always divas, and always loud.

Day 11: Someone I Talked to Today

We shopped, and ate, and cleaned, and talked today.

I just love days that I get to spend with him!

Spring Break Time

My classes got canceled for tomorrow so I'm officially on

SPRING BREAK!

It could not have come at a better time.

I am definitely in need of a break, and some relaxation.

 I don't know what I'm going to do when I'm no longer a student, 

and no longer getting school breaks.

Spring Break being here means that March is already flying by.

Here are some of my most recent photos.

Day 1: Up

Looking up at the clouds while walking to class.

 Then on Friday, I was looking down at the clouds while on a plane to OKC.

Day 2: Fruit

We ate so many chocolate covered strawberries at the OC Admissions dinner

 Day 3: My Neighborhood

This used to be my neighborhood, and it was for this weekend too.

I still don't know how I lived in those tiny rooms freshman year...

and loved every minute of it!

Day 4: Bedside

 Day 5: Smile

Buster was the only thing making me smile on Monday as I spend ALL day studying for my midterm

Day 6: 5pm

At 5:00 I was in the middle of my midterm.

At least I'm on Spring Break now!!

And Day 7: Something I wore

slash, I wear it everyday.

Don't you just love March?

Its so fresh and Spring-like!
