I lied


Ok, I lied.......but just this once. I decided to post something new today......on Sunday. No, i didn't go to church.....but only because I haven't decided which church I will be going to. It's narrowed down to the two I've always attended since moving here. I will figure it out before next Sunday. Ultimately, the one I choose will be the one that I move my membership to. Make sense? Well, I'm actually somewhat excited. Most of my family and friends now know that I've decided to join Air Force ROTC....yeah, I know...HUGE deal. Well, I don't start working out with the group until March 30th....but I wanted to get a jump start on everything. So, I've been working my little heart out. Mainly, I've been doing strength training in my upper body areas: chest, shoulders, triceps, biceps, deltoid, etc...... Even when I was at my fittest, I couldn't do a single push-up. I didn't really need to. Now, as of yesterday, I can do 8 push-ups. I know it sounds corny, but I actually got very excited over that. So, it pushes me to do more. So instead of driving the 0.5 miles to the gym, I just jog there. It's cool too because I pass some stores like Lowe's, Office Max, Joanne's Fabrics, Kohl's, DSW shoes, Old Navy, Bed, Bath, & Beyond, AND Barnes & Nobles. So, of course, I stop at Barnes & Nobles on my way back.......pick up a skinny toffee nut latte from their Starbucks inside. Speaking of bookstores, I've really got to find another good book to read. This is going to sound corny too...but I've already finished Twilight and New Moon. I don't want to start the next until this summer. I guess I could wait to go find something or read it in a week.....because school starts back on the 30th. I have a HUGE course load, and I will be getting plenty of reading in. My classes go all day on Tuesday & Thursdays. On Tuesdays I will be getting out of my last class at 8pm, and on Thursdays it will be around 9:45pm. So, I will have alot going on. Also, Emme's Spring break is coming up. Her dad really wants to get her for Spring break....so she might be going to Alabama. I, on the other hand, am considering taking off school that Thursday and going out of town somewhere....guess I will let you know when I know. ;-)

Introductory Post


It's been a while since I've wrote down my thoughts...I guess I am doing it now because it's suppose to be somewhat therapeutic (we'll see). Actually, I started this blog solely because I hate talking on the phone (sorry!) to ALL my friends and family. Constantly updating everyone on my wonderful life is a bit exhausting. I know it's selfish...and it doesn't compare to hearing my voice, but it will suffice for now. And you never know, maybe it's because I really just don't want to talk to you. ;-) I guess I will update this blog once a week....I can't possibly see how I would have time to post any additional entries....unless, perhaps, something REALLY interesting happened. So maybe every Saturday morning I will get up before Emme and make the best cup of coffee...add some Swiss Miss to it...and post a new entry that will describe what's new in my life. I would do it on a Sunday....but it just makes more sense to do it on the last day of the week. Plus, I will be at church.....:-) Ok, enough rambling for now. I think this will work for an introductory post.
