I would like someone to please give me a kick in the butt so I have a little more motivation to study.

Yesterday my friend Ashley told me "Somedays you are the windshield, somedays you are the bug, today you were the bug"

Not much seemed to go right yesterday. I kept getting distracted then I got tired and I couldn't get any studying done. Then I came home and Reggie had not only knocked over the Trash but he also pooped in the middle of the mess. After that I was ready to relax so Barrett and I went out to eat. Sounds great right. Well I thought so too until my dinner made me sick and in the middle of the night I woke up nauseous.

Thankfully today is going better. I went to class today, made lunch with Barrett, and Ashley's wonderful dad is coming over to look at my broken dryer. I am so blessed to have good friends.

On a different note, is anyone else ready for Christmas. I already want to start listening to

Christmas music. I have been working on Christmas presents for people. I have a list of what I'm going to get everyone and I've started ordering some of the presents already. I am so excited for all of my Christmas travels. I will be really tired when I get back but it will be so much fun!!!!

TaaDaaaaa

Here they are, my new chairs.  So pretty.

Happy Fall

It is officially glorious fall weather.  Today was cold and brisk and the perfect day to sit inside with slippers on studying by the flame of my woodwick candle.  The only thing that would have made it better would have been a fire place but since I don't have one my crackling candle will have to do.  

I now have both of my chairs back and they are really nice looking.  I will post pictures tomorrow.  Barrett doesn't want the dogs sitting in them as much since they are brand new so we are working on breaking them of it.  I think I might have to get Dora a new bed for in the living room.  Her current bed is gross and I hate taking in apart to clean it, and if its going to be in the living room all the time it can't look like it does now. 

This week has been fairly unproductive because I got sick on Tuesday and wasn't able to get anything done that day or Wed.  I am feeling better now thank you to some antibiotics.  Barrett and I went on a dinner date to Little Dooey tonight.  I hadn't been there in a long time and it was yummy.  I decided that when my parents are here for Thanksgiving we are going to have to go there because they have never been and it is a Starkville classic.  

I am about to begin the rest of my weekend.  It consists of studying (boo), cleaning (kinda fun), and Baking (awesome!).  I am going to make Pumpkin muffins and Banana nut bread.  If anyone wants the recipes just holla.  Cooking is fun!

Missing...1 green slidey phone

What a day, all was going well until I realized that sometime between talking to Barrett at lunch in the union and driving to the health center after class I lost my phone.  Barrett and I have searched all over (mainly the union and the vet school since those were the only 2 places I went today), and we didn't find it.  My theory is that I threw it away with my lunch trash or someone picked it up and is now using it.  I guess I will be going to the ATT store tomorrow to discontinue my sim card and get a new phone.  

I really really want an Iphone but Barrett doesn't want me to spend the extra 30/mo for the internet plan.  We'll see.

Also, Reggie get into the trash while we were out phone-searching and had it spread all over the living room.

Sad Day

Come on Over

I'm having a cookout this weekend so if you are in Starkville, want to grill with us, watch the State game, and play Guitar Hero come on over.  I love to entertain, its one of my most favorite things. 

Also, I think barrett and I need a grill like this :)

Something to sit on

So I gave up on my chair project because I figured I had more important things to worry about.  I really just need to study instead of re-doing my house right now.  I decided to just take the chairs to get professionally done.  Here is the fabric that I picked.  I will post pictures of the chairs when they are done.

I'm Back

I can't believe that it has been a month since I've posted anything.  ICU ended 2 weeks ago and everything has been pretty great since then.  I did a Board Study DIS with Ashley and we spent 2 weeks learning about Goats, Sheep, Pigs, and Poultry.  I also got to go to the beach for labor day and Kat's Birthday.  We met Kathy and Walker and David and Emily in Destin and had a great weekend full of seafood, shopping, and lounging.  So Relaxing!

I also made some changes to my appearance and Barrett calls me his little rebel.  I got my hair cut short and had it re-colored a little bit darker than last time.  I love it.  I also got a tattoo!!  I got a dove and olive branch on the top of my foot.  I went over to west point to have it done.  They were super nice over there and it didn't really hurt either.  

This weekend Barrett and I are relaxing and enjoying some time together.  We got up this morning and went running and then worked in the yard.  The rest of the weekend will be spent watching football and reading fun books.  I am especially excited about the running part of that because it has been a while since I worked out.  I start the Cat Class this week at school and we are supposed to end class between 3-4 everyday so I am planning on going to the gym right after class everyday.  

I'll post some pictures from the beach soon!!!
