random thoughts

Things that are running through my head lately. Do not judge.

I am still bitter, and probably always will be that I do not get to go on (a much needed) vacation with my sister and mom to see the cutest family on this earth.

I absolutely LOVE Carrie Underwood and wish I could meet her. She is so sweet and down to earth.

I have the perfect 3 locations to take some seriously sweet photos but am having trouble with making time to get to them, and being creative enough to make them fabulous.

I so wish that Spring Break was a national holiday. And they should all occur at the same time. What a great idea.

I hope that I find a teaching job in a good school district.

I am all over the place with what grade and content area I want to teach. I want it all. haha.

I so wish I had 200 bucks and a day of shopping at forever 21. I haven't been shopping since before Christmas!!! Crazy huh?!?!

I miss my family a lot lately. They are so cool and always make me laugh and I sure need some laughs.

I have the cleanest tile floor in all the land. :) Hand scrubbed like Cinderella. It makes me happy for some reason.

I miss my long hair. I wish it would grow faster.

I should really start working out again, I miss running. But I need to set a goal or something so I actually have a reason behind me working out.

Megan, I am jealous you get to go to California for a week! I LOVE Cali, it is so pretty on the west coast! But I know you will post lots of pictures so that make me happy.

I really can't wait to move back to Houston and begin the next chapter in our lives; Teaching and getting Ryan into and through law school.

I need to start saving some extra cash so I can afford my photography hobby. There are many things I need to buy.

Well, this is enough for this fine Friday morning. Now I need to get in the shower and get ready for closing the dang store 5 (five) {FIVE} did I say 5(???) nights in a row. UGH!!!!! Can't wait for my career change.

A few weeks ago, Ryan and I were invited to join some friends at the Houston Rodeo Cookoff. We all had so much fun eating, dancing, laughing and enjoying each others' company! For those of you who may not be aware of how big this event is, think Texas State Fair in size and # of people but all the streets are lined with tents that compete to see who has the best food. So for us, we just chow down all night, hopping from tent to tent. YUMMMMYYYY!!!!!! We had a great time and wished we could have done it all over again! Thanks Kell for the invite!

J and Kelley

a taste of some of the food.

Oh Steve, if you feel like sending me any of the following I wear a size 8 1/2............

I am a little obsessed with all of these but way to broke to buy. :(

Please know that I do not take pictures of myself because I am that narcissistic. I have no models, so I am my own. :) all pictures by me.

Just a few shots I took on the way home from Dallas.

:home:

As you all know I have been on vacation since friday night and it has been oodles of fun! I left College Station Sunday afternoon and headed in to Dallas to spend a few days with my mom and dad. Sunday evening Amber and Christiaan also came in to watch the Amazing Race and the Oscars with us. Amber made some delicious brownies and we popped some popcorn and curled up on the couch to see all the pretty and not so pretty dresses and hair-do's. We had lots of fun. Then Monday mom and I went to get pedicures and eat lunch at the Cheesecake factory! YUM YUM! We split the Santa Fe Salad (the best EVER) and a slice of brownie sundae cheesecake, AMAZING! Then Tuesday we went to the aboretum and spent most of the afternoon there seeing all of the exhibits they were building and the buds that were about to bloom. We were just a couple weeks early for all the flowers, o well. It was still beautiful! I love going there! And then we enjoyed lunch at Souper Salad. MmMmMm! That was the best beginning to any vacation! Thanks for spoiling me mom! I had lots of fun just hanging around the house. Nothing beats "going home" to hang out. I enjoyed lots of laughs, hugs, pictures and good conversations! Hopefully I will be able to do it all over again!
