Day 255: Study/Work/Eat/Hang out with my boyfriend

Today has been a great day so far. I woke up this morning to a phone call from James seeing what I was up to this morning. Then I took my brother to work since I'll be meeting him at work there later. Then I started in on some studying again for my math test tomorrow which I'm not excited about but it's got to get done. Now I am just chilling at home until going to hang out with James in a little while then off to work after that. It has been a pretty busy but a relaxing day as well just how I like it.

Day 254: The Day of No Sleep

Today has been a great day so far. I went to church this morning and also taught sunday school to the kids this morning as well. I love working with the kids in my sunday school they make my day. Then I went out to lunch with my mom and sister since my dad had a meeting this afternoon with some of the men in church. Then I made plans for next Friday for James and I to have dinner with a couple in the church and talk about some stuff. After that, I took a nap and James called me a couple of times to check in since I hadn't heard from him and just as I figured he passed his test with no problem. I knew he would do it, he's a smart guy. Now I am just chilling at home for a bit before work tonight and chilling with some friends afterwards at Buffalo's. It'll be a lot of fun. I also got some studying done today as well. What a productive Sunday!

Day 253: Bright, Sunny, Day

Today has been a good day so far. I woke up this morning to take my brother to work. Then I went back to sleep for a couple of hours and woke up again but this time to get myself ready for work. I haven't talked to James yet today because he is taking a motorcycle class today to get his endorsement for having his motorcycle down here. So I worked and it was incredibly busy and honestly, the sales weren't the greatest today, people just wanted to shop I guess. Now I am just chilling at home waiting for dinnertime and waiting to hear from James how his motorcycle class thing went and also tonight we're playing frisbee with a group of friends which I am very excited about. I haven't been able to play in a few weeks so it'll be nice to run around and play again.

Day 252: Rainy, Cool Day

Today has been a great day so far. This is my cute little dog that is the best pet I could ever ask for. She behaves really well and is very obedient. She also enjoys going on walks around our neighborhood which I do sometimes for my cardio workout for Body by God. I did my Body by God workout today when I first woke up and I increased my crunches by 5 today so I did 35 crunches as well as the rest of the workouts which aren't quite as difficult to do. I am slowly trying to build up the amount of crunches I can do each time I do it. I also talked to James on the phone this afternoon and he is coming over later after he works out and we're going to go over a devotion we have been doing together. Now I am going to work on some homework that I got last night before he comes over. Also, we're having a game day later with some friends and then I am working tonight closing the store. All in all, a busy but good day.

Day 251: Early Morning Work Day

Today has been a great day so far. I worked early this morning at 6 a.m. and we got a lot done in the intimates department marking prices of bras and panties up. It kept us busy for about 6.5 hours then after that I helped my mom get the accessories freight put out. Now I am just chilling at home until school tonight for 5 hours. Also, I talked to James on the phone for a little while and enjoyed that as usual as well.

Day 250: The Whole Day Off

Today has been a great day so far. I woke up this morning, started my day by eating breakfast and getting ready for my devotion time with my dad, James and myself. Then I got a call from James saying good morning. I am just waiting for my sister's piano lessons to get over before I go pick James up for our devotion time. He was going to ride over here but his motorcycle is out of gas and he has to wait until Friday before he can fill it up because that's payday. Now I am simply waiting for the car to be available for me to pick him up. I finished all my schoolwork last night so that is all done so I have the whole day just to relax which is nice.

Day 249: Relaxing Day Off

Today has been a great day so far. I got a call from my awesome boyfriend this morning because I had called him last night to ask if we were still doing a devotion on Wednesday and forgot to ask so he called about that and to say good morning. I love those morning phone calls, they make me so happy. Then I woke up, got started with my day and a lady from my church called to see if I wanted to have lunch somewhere and talk so we had lunch and talked for about an hour and a half. Then I got all the way home and James called to see if I wanted to hang out so I made sure it was okay then I hung out with him until school started. After school, I came home and ate dinner that my mom prepared and it was so amazingly yummy then I finished all my homework through Sunday tonight which was awesome. Now I am just about to go to bed. It has been a very productive and fun day.

Day 248: Disney Day

Today has been a great day so far. I woke up this morning and took my brother to work because James and I went to Disney for the day and it was a lot of fun. I love every moment I spend with him. This is the two of us in front of Disney. Also, after we got back from Disney, he made steak and broccoli for him and I for dinner which was really yummy. He sure can cook. I thoroughly enjoyed our time together today. Now I am just chilling at home watching some t.v. I will probably be going to bed shortly because I have a pounding headache at the moment but other than that my night is going good.

Day 247: Sunday, the day of rest

Today has been a great Sunday so far. I woke up this morning after about 5 hours of sleep so needless to say I am tired but it was totally worth it because I got to see James even earlier. I taught sunday school this morning then went to church with my family and James as well. After that, I took James home and went out to lunch with my family which was fun and yummy. We had my dad's favorite pizza place for lunch. It was a nice change after what we've been eating for Body by God but also made me realize how unhealthy we eat when the pizza kind of hit me like a ton of bricks. Now I am just having a restful Sunday at home and am going to take a much needed nap soon then I have a late Christmas party tonight with my coworkers. Then tomorrow I have an exciting day of Disney fun with my awesome boyfriend for the entire day which if you couldn't tell I am very excited about, it'll be so much fun. Now nap time is calling my name.

Day 246: Work, Work, Work

Today has been a great day so far. I did my workout for Body by God this morning and actually did more pushups than the amount they gave to us to do. I did 30 pushups which may not sound like a lot but when you're not used to doing them that is a lot. Plus I did 6 more than the amount given. I am going to try each week to build up my pushup amount. Also, I was kind of woken up even though I fell back asleep from a phone call from the boyfriend which it was very to nice to hear from him of course. Now I am taking my brother to work soon and am going to pick up some yogurt at the grocery store for my family and I then tonight I am going to be at work to close again. For now though I am just busy doing some homework.

Day 245: Hang Out Day

Today has been a great day so far. I woke up earlier than usual this morning because James and I are going to hang out for awhile and have lunch together. I am taking my brother into work as well because our schedules overlap today. Then later on I will be heading into work to help close the store tonight. That is my day in a nutshell. I went to class last night and did well. I have started making some new friends at school which is awesome. I saw this outside when I put my dog out to eat some breakfast this morning and decided to use it as my blog picture because it just looked so cool.

Day 244: My Dog the Gingerbread Man's Friend

Today has been a great day so far. This is my cute, sweet dog that kind of stole this pillow from my mom since it was my mom's Christmas present not my dog's. She is such a silly dog. I woke up this morning by a call from my boyfriend which was a nice way to wake up. Then I got up, did my workout for Body by God and then ate breakfast and eventually lunch. Shortly before noon, I got called into work after making plans with James to hang out this afternoon so I worked instead because I need the hours this week. I also got 2 people to open up Kohl's charges so that was an extra benefit to working. People were all really nice at work today too, I think they fed off of my good attitude. I try to have a good attitude at work because it makes it so much better of a time for everybody. I hung out with James after that for a short time. Then after that, I went to school for about 4.5 hours and got out early again which was nice. I enjoy not being there until 9:15. Now I am just chilling at home until bedtime soon.

Day 243: A Bug, Lady that is

Today has been a great day so far. I saw this outside my house today. It is a ladybug, I used to collect ladybugs as a kid so this took me back. I woke up this morning after sleeping in and then James called me to say good morning. Then I did my household chores and got those all done as well as doing some laundry. Then I did homework all afternoon after taking my dog for a walk as my cardio workout for Body by God today. It was fun taking her for a walk and she is starting to walk really well on the leash. I was going to stay home from the walk on the trail to do school but it turns out I already finished my schoolwork but I am staying home anyways just to relax tonight. It was a really nice, relaxing day and I got a lot accomplished.

Day 242: School Day

Today has been a good day so far. I woke up this morning to a call from work calling me in. Unfortunately, I didn't have a car for about an hour after they called but oh well I am hoping I can pick up a few more hours later in the week. After that, I did my workout and got ready for my day. I went to hang out with James for a little while after that and we walked on the trail downtown for awhile then went back to his apartment complex next to the pool and he grilled his lunch out while I ate my lunch I had brought with me. It was such a simple time but it was a lot of fun. Then I came home for an hour then went off to my math class. That went well and then I came home for dinner. I spent the rest of the night at home and talked to James as well.

Day 241: Great Day

Today has been a great day. I worked on truck early this morning at 6 a.m. so that kind of wore me out this morning. Then I ate lunch and went over to hang out with James for a little while today as well. After that, I just chilled at home and took a nap. My mom made some yummy squash for dinner and cut up some cantaloupe then my dad grilled burgers out on his grill. It was a very yummy dinner. Then we had a game night with a friend that came and hung out with us. It was a bunch of fun. Now off to sleep for me because this day has me worn out.

Day 240: Study Day

Today has been a good day so far. Unfortunatley, James got a stomach virus today he thinks from sushi he ate a couple of days ago or from some of the protein shakes he drinks so he wasn't able to make it to church this morning. Other than that, it has been a pretty productive day on my end. I got all of my homework done that is due this week and just have a little more to do but am doing some reading for Thursday right now. I feel very accomplished right now and the cool thing is that I got some really good grades on the quizzes and stuff I did today. Plus I actually knew what I was doing in my math homework. I have a feeling these classes are going to be good for me. I am enjoying the classes geared towards my major which is 3 out of 4 of the classes I am taking this semester. As you can see, I don't leave schoolwork until the last minute and definitely don't procrastinate.

Day 239: Cold Day

Today has been a great day so far. I woke up quite early this morning and went for a 30 minute jog around my neighborhood. It was quite cold so not real enjoyable on that end but I was just able to get out, enjoy God's beautiful nature and exercise while doing it. Also, I made myself some eggs and bacon for breakfast this morning. It was such a yummy breakfast. This afternoon I am working for 4 hours then we are going to be hosting a game day at my house. It'll be a lot of fun. Then James and I are going to catch a late movie tonight. We're going to see We Bought a Zoo which looks like a really good movie from the commercials. I am excited about this entire day, both seeing all my friends, getting a good workout in and seeing James tonight. Talk about a great day.

Day 238: Happy 3 months

Today has been a great day so far. It is James and I's 3 month anniversary today. He is suprising me with where we're going for it. It will be a lot of fun. I enjoy hanging out with him and he apparently has something special planned for it. I also did 24 sit ups today for my workout as well as side bends, 1 arm rows and shoulder presses. My body is feeling really good and I am feeling a lot healthier thanks for this workout program. I am very determined to do my best and continue on with it for at least 40 days if not longer. I am just so excited about this date night with James tonight and am making something special for him. I can't wait to give it to him and see him tonight. Now I am just chilling at home until work in a couple of hours.

Day 237: Full Day of School

Today has been a great day. I slept in this morning and talked to James on the phone for a little bit. Then I ate a yummy lunch of steak tips and broccoli, both healthy and yummy. After that, I watched a movie with my sister today called Anne of Green Gables. Now I am off to school for 5 hours tonight fun fun.I finished school and am now just chilling at home for the evening. My second class got out a little bit early and it was nice to get out early because I had been at school for awhile. I learned a lot in both classes though and I feel like these classes will help me in my steps towards becoming a teacher. It is a lot of reading which is good for me because I enjoy reading.

Day 236: Rain, Rain Go Away For Good haha

Today has been an okay day. It has been rainy all day so haven't been able to do much. I worked early this morning and unfortunately now that I'm not working I have nothing to do. I am just relaxing around the house because of this stupid rain. Also, my computer decided to stop working today which made the day even better, totally being sarcastic there. James was going to come over but with the rain decided it would be too dangerous to ride on his motorcycle over to my house. This is the time it would be nice to have my own car. Oh well. I am going to a thing for Body by God Tonight where we will be walking a trail near my church so that'll be a nice change.

Day 235: Another Day Off

Today has been a great day so far. I got to sleep in this morning which felt nice. Then I did my second day of Body by God exercises and I got to say, it feels good. By the end, I hope to be more health conscious and also be more fit. I have drank nothing but water and it has given me lots more energy. I also had my first day of class today and it went well. It is my final math class that I have to take so I am excited about that. Also, I spent the afternoon hanging out with James at his apartment complex just sitting outside talking and enjoying the beautiful day together. Also, we went over this devotion that we are doing together. Now I am just chilling at home for the night watching t.v. I work at 6 a.m. tomorrow morning so I'll be having an early bedtime tonight as well.

Day 234: Fun Day with the boyfriend :)

Today has been a great day so far. I woke up this morning to take my brother to work in case James and I were going to hang out today. He and I ended up hanging out at the mall for the afternoon just looking around at stores and enjoying each other's company. It was a lot of fun just spending the day walking around the mall with him. I have also started this thing called Body by God where I am going to watch what I eat, start to eat healthier and do a few exercises a day for 40 days so I can be even healthier. Now I am just chilling at home until James comes over for dinner and to hang out at my house with my family and I tonight.

Day 233: Memorable Day

Today has been a great day so far. I had church and sunday school this morning. I had a new little girl in my sunday school class and as usual with most kids I meet she opened up to me real quick. It is almost like I have a way with kids or something. It is because I am studying to be a preschool teacher in school and kids just naturally like being around me. I just hope that the same is true when I have my own kids. Now I am just chilling at home after a very yummy lunch and later on my wonderful boyfriend will be coming over and we are going to hang out for awhile and maybe play some Mario Party. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know James more and more and I hope there are many more memorable days with him such as this one.

Day 232: Frisbeeeee

Today has been a great day so far. I loved the look of the sky this morning so decided to take a picture of it. These are some of my favorite looking clouds that we have. I am working soon then later tonight after work I am going to be going to play some frisbee for the second time this week with my awesome frisbee friends. It is always a lot of fun and very memorable times at frisbee. I absolutely love playing ultimate frisbee. The best part though is all of the friendships I have made through it. People invite their friends like crazy because it is such a fun time and it is a great place to meet new people and get some awesome friendships.

Day 231: Full Day

Today has been a great day so far. I woke up this morning to take my brother to work. Then I talked to James for a little bit this morning. After that, I got called in early to work so I did and finished the signs I had to flip today at work very quickly even though I was doing it by myself. I am actually glad I was doing it by myself because it left less time for fitting rooms and stuff. I enjoy taking the signs down and flipping them as well because it is something I don't usually do. Now I am just relaxing at home until James comes over to hang out until my friend's party that me, him, my sister and one other friend are going to tonight. I am excited for the party and to see my friend off since she is going back to college.

Day 230: The Whole Day Off

Today has been a great day. I woke up and talked to James. Then I ate some lunch and found out James is over his sickness so he came over to hang out with my sister and I. We threw around the frisbee outside because the weather was absolutely beautiful this afternoon. Then after that he and I went for a walk around my neighborhood to get out of the house and enjoy some time just the two of us. It was a lot of fun walking the neighborhood with him. After that, we came back and played Mario Party 8 with my sister. It was such a fun time with him and my sister. Then two of my friends joined us for some Mario Party as well later on. Now I am just relaxing at home until lifegroup tonight.

Day 229: Cleaning Day

Today has been a great day so far. I woke up this morning and talked to my awesome boyfriend. He isn't feeling well because it was really cold last night and he rode his motorcycle in it, then slept in an extremely cold house so he caught a cold. I am hoping he feels better by tomorrow so he can come to lifegroup with my brother and I. After talking to him this morning, I had to let the guy who fixes heaters in houses in this morning because our heater stopped working and it was really cold last night so we needed it fixed quickly. After that guy left, I did all of my household chores and the house looks really nice if I do say so myself. Then I played Mario Party 8 which is a game that one of my family's friends bought us for Christmas. After that, I watched Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides. I have the whole day off and am just hanging at home all day today. I wish I could hang out with James today but he's sick and I don't want to get sick so I'll hopefully see him tomorrow for lifegroup.

Day 228: Relaxing Day at Home

Today has been a great day. I worked truck early this morning and so I was a bit tired this morning. After work, I got lunch from Subway and it was so yummy. Then I took a nap for about 3.5 hours and it felt so nice. It made me feel a lot less tired and more alert. I slept well and then woke up as my brother and a friend came over to hang out and play Wii at our house. We played Mario Party for a couple of hours which was a lot of fun. This picture is of my awesome calendar for 2012. I used to love horses when I was a kid so this matches me perfectly.

Day 227: Shopping and Hanging Out With Friends :)

Today has been a great day so far. A cold front has decided to come through today so it was pretty cool all day today. I had a great day though. I woke up, called James to say hey to him this morning. Then I went and got my textbooks for the spring semester and used the last of a gift card from the store on the bag above that my friend gave to me for my birthday. It is such a cute shirt that I bought. After that, I came home and hung out with some friends and James all afternoon. Then we ate some yummy dinner made by my mom and then went and played some pretty epic ultimate frisbee tonight. It was such a fun night and such a great day all around. God has truly blessed me with some amazing friends, an amazing family and and amazing boyfriend.

Day 226: The New Year

Today has been a great day so far. Today is the New Year 2012. Happy New Year everybody! I taught sunday school this morning about the bible story about Balaam and the donkey that talked to him after he kept on hitting the donkey for going off the path. Then after that, I went into church and the church service went well. My dad did a great job speaking and the worship time was very worshipful as well. After church, my family went out to lunch and James joined us for lunch. It was such a yummy lunch and now I am excited for tonight when my dad is going to make ribs for dinner and my mom is going to make cabbage and some other stuff too. It will be such a yummy dinner. I hope everyone is having a great New Year. I am having a great New Year so far.
