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.

last day of school....

everyone else seems so excited that school is ending. I didn't really realize until last night that it was the last day of school today. I feel rather indifferent about it.
I enjoyed my semester. I have summer school after this, so I guess school hasn't ended for the summer for me yet.
And I don't really look forward to going home.
I love my life here, and my friends more than anything.

packing my own lunch

I did not have a lunch break three days of the week this semester. Its hard to go that long without food for me. So I packed myself a lunch these days.
I feel silly being in college packing a lunch, it just seems like not a college thing to do.
I probably won't get a meal plan again next year, and also have a very short lunch break. Hopefully I can get better at packing them, and make yummy things like this picture.

cookies

I made jeff some homemade white chocolate macadamien nut cookies, and myself a few chocolate chip. They were simply heavenly!

I ran today for the first day in a few days, and i never realize how much i love it! Don't ask me how or why I love it, I just do.


Also waking up by Buddy tickling my face with her whiskers and licking my nose is a great way to wake up. Even though it makes me giggle.


Me and Jeff need more pictures together.

My aching body....

All this cross country training is very hard on my body....especially my legs.
Hopefully the trainer can fix whatever is wrong tomorrow. I wanna get back to running, and weights (I havent been on top of this as I usually am and can tell a major difference).
Part of me is starting to worry if two weeks of serious running is hurting my knees and ankle...what's a whole year gonna do to my body?


Also Jeff's play opens tomorrow! He got a hair cut today for it, and I think he looks extremely handsome with it. But that may be biased I think he always looks handsome.

muffin time...

I got a call at 2:30 yesterday from Ben. He called to tell me it was muffin time, and to come over and make him and Ryan muffins. When I said I was busy and would do it later I got a "but maaaaam!" from both boys.

If I had been more productive earlier I most likely would have gone over there then, and made my two lovelies their muffins.

Also all weekend I have been determined to finish my three art projects so this week I don't have to worry about them. My hope was a GREAT SUCCESS! I also did laundry, and cleaned my room and the apartment!
On top of being a good student for once this semester, we went to five guys last night for burgers, the baylor orchestra concert and firework show, and also played things in a box. I feel like I haven't seen just the boys in a while, so last night was really fun! Sometimes I forget how much I love them!

This week is opening week for Jeff's new play. I am excited!

Graveyard...

There is a grave yard near campus that has a wonderful 2 mile loop in it. It's a great place for runs, walks, or bike rides.
I biked 14 miles in there today, and saw a lot more life than I usually do. I normally like to go in there on week days during the middle of the week, when no one else is there. It's a really peaceful place. No distractions. It's nice to be able to escape and go for a run with my own thoughts there.
