I'm back!

Well, it seems that my blogging crave did not last very long. I apologize. However, it is summer time (for school teachers woot woot!) and I am already bored out of my mind. This means that I should be blogging a little bit more! I might as well do something productive with my time. I am going to try to figure out how to make this thing fancy with pictures and videos and what not because at this point, all I know how to do is type.

To start off this blog...I have a lovely update to share. Eric and I are engaged :) :) I will share pictures from our photo-sesh this weekend if I can figure out how to do that. We are both so very excited and I LOOOVE my beautiful ring! I was thinking about making this a wedding-planning themed blog site, but it probably won't happen...I'm never very good at sticking to one thing for very long, as you can tell already, I'm sure.

OO! I figured it out! That was not very difficult! Okay, well here are some more :)





 There are some of the pictures...we took many, many more and I can not wait to see the rest! My sister had her maternity pictures taken by the same person (capturedbykendall.com) so I contacted her and asked if she could take our engagement pictures and walla! 

Other than this, I don't have much else to update you on. As I said, I am done with school for this year. The school system I work for is on their last week, but the teacher I was subbing for came back for the last two weeks, so I'm done. I am going to visit my class on Wednesday for the Kindergarten "graduation" and I am so excited about it! I miss those little things. 

So far this summer, I have:   1. been very lazy
                                              2. been obsessively watching random YouTube videos about make up for some reason (I don't know why but I love watching people do make up...is that weird?)
                                              3. been watching netflix movies and old t.v. shows (Cosby show mostly)
                                              4. gotten sick twice (I am currently sick, but I feel a little better today)
                                              5. been driving Eric crazy--I found this really old video of him rapping to DMX that I really wanted to post on here, but he doesn't want me to so I'll be nice and respect that. Ohhh but it's so funny and makes me fall in love with him all over again :)

Basically, I need a job or I need my friends to stop working so that they can entertain me. OR, I need to get a life. Probably the third one. Hmm, maybe I can make this blog site be about how to entertain yourself when you are trying not to spend any money. There's a good one! Feel free to share ideas! I know I can paint, read, write, go on walks, go outside, and other obvious choices...but if you have anything creative, let me know!

I live extremely close to the greenway, which I love, so I will be walking pretty frequently. I really want to go to my parents' house and pick up my bike, but until that happens I can walk/try to get into running again.

I am going to start reading the Harry Potter book series. I read the first three when I was in 6th grade, but stopped somewhere along the way. Nicole (my future sis-in-law) has all of the books, so I am going to dive into that soon. She is not working this summer, and neither is my best friend, so maybe we can all come up with things to do this summer to keep us entertained. 

Anywho, if you have any creative ideas...leave a comment! I would love to hear what you have to say!

  1. Have you ever learned to knit? You can make it basically free by using recycled materials to create your own yarn: t-shirts, plastic shopping bags. I've been really into green knitting recently-- you use up things you don't need, it's free, you get to be creative, and at the end you have something new! Here's a good tutorial: http://www.craftpassion.com/2009/05/recycle-tutorial-making-of-t-shirt-yarn.html

  2. I actually learned to knit one night at Wednesday church night with my mom and have been doing it since! I love knitting, but I have never thought about green knitting...that is great! Thanks! I hate that we've lost touch so much over the years. We will have to catch up sometime!
