You've got it bad....

My friends and I were driving back from a movie, and my friend brings up how much he misses his boyfriend (even though he just saw him yesterday). He then tells us how he was dreading leaving, and that he was getting mad and upset the whole day because he knew he had to leave at some point. Erica goes on to say, thats how you know you've got it bad for someone, when you miss them when you are still with them.

I can relate to this.

reading break

Yesterday I spent a few hours on campus reading my book for my history class. It was extremely enjoyable to be outside in the shade, listening to the birds, and watching the squirrels. I tried to feed some nuts to the squirrels but instead a very pretty blue bird came and ate it.

The two biggest distractions for me....

...Hannah Montana marathon, and Jeff.

very off my nut...

some days I wonder where my brain has got to...

my mom and brother wonder some days how i live by myself.

baylor girls....

so i used to have this impression (as most people do) about baylor girls...but that has changed. Over the past two years I have found a few extremely awesome girls here. I also thought it was hard for anyone to measure up to Geneva (my ultimate perfect girl), but my girlfriends totally have.

Today for example was a totally sucky day. I had a very emotional night last night, for several reasons and didn't get much sleep at all. And was still in a pretty foul mood for most of today. My mood seemed to slip away the second I met up with Michelle for our evening workout. Michelle is the perfect workout buddy for me. As I have said before, she is also very encouraging and supportive. And spending time with her was just what I needed today. The more time I spend with her the more I love her.
Just after our workout, Selena and Groman wanted to meet up with me at common grounds. Hanging with them, talking to them, and letting them know about last night was what i needed to deal with it. They are wonderful people. I am so excited to live with Selena and Erica next year.

Oh yeah quick shout out to my girl Erica! I am so excited to see her this weekend!

So basically I love these girls. I am so happy and thankful to have them in my life. Although I do love my boys very very much, these girls are fantastic and just what i needed!!!!

isn't it funny...

how when you are single you get zero attention from guys. But the second you get a boyfriend you get tons of attention?....what's that about?

ice cream

These are all pictures from last summers Ocean City trip.


If you know me, you know I have a pretty big sweet tooth. Ice cream, dark chocolate, brownies, and chocolate chip cookies are my favorites.
My nutritionist said I needed to cut out sweets. This has been hard for me. Especially no ice cream!
I love ice cream. My favorites are: double fudge brownie, phish food, chocolate chocolate chip, and mint chocolate chip.
Sprinkles (or jimmies as they are called in NJ) are always a must. But not just a small scoop barely drizzled over the top...the whole cone needs to be dunked in a tub of sprinkles. =)


Comment and tell me your favorite kind of ice cream.....i ll surprise you and bring it to you someday!

Not so much swimming, more just playing around and splashing...

I realized today how much fun swimming was. I haven't really given it a fair shot in the past as an alternative workout, mainly because I am a terrible swimmer. I just sort of flail and splash.
But I realized I needed an alternative low impact exercise that was not running, or cycling. So I thought I'd try my hand a swimming.
I biked to the Slc after my run this morning so I could swim at their big pool. I ran into Alexa there, which was swim with another future BUXC-er. I seriously had the time of my life! I did big circles around the pool (because the lanes were all full). It ended up being more of a workout because the lazy river has a good current to swin and water jog against. For my whole workout I was smiling and giggling to myself (when i'd slip from jogging). I really felt like a little kid, just goofing around. I was sad when my time was up.
I wanted to splash around in the water some more in the afternoon....so much for trying to make today a light workout day. =)



ps. the moon is super bright and gorgeous
oh, also when I picked up Buddy at one point today, she was so tired she snuggled up in my arms and fell asleep....it was extremely adorable.

hard stuff...

So this minimester and two a day workouts are sucking the life out of me. I find just enough energy to do one workout, then get to class, then home to read, then out for another workout. I am doing about 3 hours of exercise per day. My body craves the ice baths and massages I get at treatment.
Also I'm a bit lonely with no one here. I never realized what good company Catie was.

Any encouragement or kind words is appreciated. =)

Texas storms...

Texas has awesome thunder storms. Crazy lighting and thunder storms is what California is missing. I love lighting. Probably anyone I have watched a lighting storm with, can tell you that. One time Ryan said, even better than seeing the lighting was hearing the excited noises I made from seeing it.

This particular storm is extremely beautiful. There is still some daylight left, but the lightning is very frequent and there are lots of small bolts of it!

I wish I had my snuggle buddy here with me. So we could curl up on the couch with a cup of tea.

double sassy...

I spent the past few days in Austin.
It was glorious for many reasons. It was extremely nice to get out of Waco just for a bit. See some fun people, and just chill!
Two of the days Jeff was there he took me out for two extremely nice dinners.
One we dressed up for, and then went to see the bat bridge. The bats did not show up. No idea why. But the night was extremely fun and romantic.
The other one was a bit of an accident. We were planning on seeing a movie, but it was sold out. SO we went to this sweet restaurant. We got awesome food and the atmosphere was very romantic.

I start minimester tomorrow, and I am not too exciting for having to do work.
But I have sooooo many runs and workouts I have to do to keep me busy every day.

I had to say goodbye to Jeff today for a while. Hopefully I can see him before I go home in June. I got a tad emotional.
I already miss him.



Also I am covered in bug bites from when Jeff and I went rompusing around his ranch looking for the goats.

summer...

So I need to decide if I want to go back home or stay in Waco all summer...
If I go home, I ll work and make better money than I would here.
If I stay here I ll need to find a job. It was also be extremely hot here...

Done with finals, Hannah, and No sugar!

I finished my last final this morning. It wasn't bad. I was more worried about finishing it fast since I illegally parked, and I DO NOT want another ticket to add to my repertoire.

Hannah is coming and spending the next few days with me! Hannah is Ryan's super dooper awesome girlfriend.

My nutritionist told me no sugar this next week. This was after he looked at my food log and laughed at the fact that I had ice cream four days in a row.
I said it will be easy to quit sugar cold turkey. Let's see about that. I suppose wanted cake or something yummy and sweet on Friday (2 month anniversary) will be a temptation.

You know it's love when...

...He saves the last brownie for you.

I don't like finals

I don't like studying
I don't like taking tests
I don't want this semester to end...because then it means it summer...

I am doing a really good job of not trying to stress out. I am also doing a very good job of NOT studying for art history. =)

This is Jeff and mine's I hate studying/maybe a little grumpy face

texas is kinda beautiful

Jeff, Sarah, and I were driving to Crawford today and for the first time in two years I realized how pretty Texas is.
It was the green meadows and plethora of wildflowers whose colors range from red, to orange, to purple, to yellow.
Texas in the spring time is really something to behold. And this is coming from someone who loves California with every ounce of her.

Sometimes the rest of the world fades...

It seems as if I have fallen in love again with my darling Jeff. It's as if I forgot how much I love him, and I was reminded tonight.

Runs...

Saturday I had a long run, and I had the pleasure of running with Michelle. Michelle was in my english class, but we weren't friends or never actually talked. But she ran with Liza and I one day and so thats how I met her. And I have been taking her cycling class all semester, and occassionally we will run together!
First impressions are always funny. Michelle is super gorgeous and healthy and slender, so naturally my first impression of her was that she wasn't too nice. After getting to know her better, nothing could be farther from the truth. She is the sweetest, most kind and thoughtful and encouraging person here at Baylor! She is really a women after God's own heart, and I can feel God just when I hear her talk. SO our long runs end in trading life stories and expereinces, and highs and lows of the week, and she likes to pray before we leave.
-she is kind of like my Geneva here. =)
So anyway that run was about 9.5 miles and it got pretty hard on my legs towards the end. lol


Today my six miles was pure tortue every step. No idea why it was so awful.

the fajitas that keep on giving...

Saturday night we had a lovely family potluck! Everyone brought something for fajitas! Billy, Erika, Claire, Sarah, Jacob, and Ben all came! I love love love love love Erika so much! She is the most awesome person in the whole wide world! I feel like next year is going to be more fun than I could ever imagine!
We ended up having way to much food! so Ben and I just had the left overs today for lunch!
Like I have said before I love it when I just get one on one time with the boys! I feel like I have been a rather absent family member, just with all the running and work outs I need to do, also Jeff takes up some time. Every time I hang with my boys, i fall in love with them all again, and can't seem to remember how I could have functioned with out them.

losing control...

I had this summer all planned out...school, nanny, beach, school, colorado, back to school.
But my plan has been almost completely turned upside down.
I wasn't really pissed though. I was a little worried about being able to be a full time student. I realized that I was trying to plan and control my life too much, and I need to let it go. I should let God take control, not me. This at times is a bit hard for a somewhat of a control freak like myself.
