It Feels like Summer!

I knew my day was going to be good when I got in my car this morning at 5:25 and "American Boy" was playing on the radio. Love that song. Followed by a somewhat non-drama day at work, which doesn't seem to happen much these days. 

Started my afternoon off with a three mile run. Dang, did it feel good on this beautiful sunny and 70* day. Followed by a afternoon of tanning with Andrea and Sarah. Later which we went to clean out Andrea car and busted out our moves with Rachel during Tyler's hip hop class. 

And it was a good day even though it wasn't near any beach :)

CPAC 2012

Have I mentioned how busy life is but from some (nagging) I mean motivation from Andrea. I have decided to post and try to catch you guys up on my life. Now I do realize CPAC happened like two weeks ago but I have have to catch you guys up on a lot. . 

Rachel, Herman Cain, and me. 

My outfit : Gray Dress with Black Belt: Marshall's, Black cardigan: Kohl's, Black Booties: Target

CPAC was surprisely lots of fun. Sister bonding, meeting celebrities (sorta. If you consider the Duggar's, Herman Cain, and Rick Santorum celebrities.) , and just being able to see our nation's capital. It was so much fun and it was the first time I have ever been to D.C. It was a great experience riding the metro and everything. 

On our way to check out the Congress building.. 

I feel a need to tell you guys about the squirrel that about attack me and Rachel over a bag of chocolate filled crosseants. And no we are not losing our minds because two guys walking down the road realized it to. Probably the most scary part of the trip. We thought we were actually gonna have to use our Pepper Stray on that freaky creature. 

My outfit: Button-up shirt: Forever21, Cardigan: forever21,  Skirt: forever21, Boots: Target

Rachel's outfit: Stripes Shirt: from Andrea, Skirt: From a friend, High Heels: Target

Rick Santorum and me. 

 Rick Santorum for President!

Lincoln Memorial

We got to site see on one of the coldest days so I have to show you guys how I was rocking my super high leg warmer's to try to stay warm. We got to see the Lincoln memorial (On Lincoln's birthday, so cool right?) and the Smithsonian's. I now know a little more about politics :) Hope you have a great weekend. 

Hockey Games and Life

So I do have a good excuse for not blogging in like forever. I have just been busy with life. Now that I have started my online classes and new responsibilities at work since certain co-workers are going off and getting married and finding better life's other then working at the Y.M.C.A. (I know its kinda hard to believe.) I have been super busy. The only real reason I had time to blog today and because I took the day off of work. Don't taddle on me, I just needed a break to focus on school and rest up some.  But through my busy schedule I have found time to have fun also. About two weeks ago Rachel, Mya, and I all went out to our first hockey game to our local hockey team, the Oilers. It was so much fun. We didn't end up staying very long but it was a fun experience :)

Rachel and I also took a trip down to Washington D.C. this past week. So I will try to get those pictures up soon because I do have some mighty fine outfit pictures. hehe. Hope your all have a great week and its not to stressful. 

p.s. Happy Late Valentine's

New Year's Resolution

Happy New Year! 

I hope 2011 was as good of a year for you guys as it was for me. I was filled with a lot of blessings during 2011. First of all I graduated high school. Yep, I survived all 13 plus years of school it was hard work. I have a job with good hours which is more then a lot of people have right now. I am enrolled in college class' for next semester and am currently being interviewed for one of my dream jobs of being a nanny. I would say 2011 was pretty good. 

And I would like 2012 to be just as good. So I made a few new year's resolutions to keep me on track for the new year. 

1. Eat healthy.  

I was doing good really good last spring about eating healthy and working out. But then I got busy with work and lost time to work out and with the holidays I most definitively ate a lot of sweets. So my goal is find more time to work out and get fit by eating healthy. 

2. Run a half marathon. 

My real goal is to run a full marathon but since the farthest I have ever ran was 9 miles while I was training for the Akron Relay I have decided a half marathon is the perfect start to my marathon goal this year. 

3. Learn how to cook. 

Yes, sad to admit but I don't know how to cook. Somehow cooking was gene that missed me. So pinterest  has helped me a lot to find simple recipes to help me start :) I am excited about this new adventure. And my uncle has said he would pay for the groceries if I made him dinner. So its a win win. 

4. Blog more.

This past summer, I have really gotten away from blogging on a regular basis. So I need to get back on track. So hopefully 2012 will bring me enough adventures to blog about. 

5. Get good grades in school. 

Now that I was going to be going back to school with a little more purpose this time. I plan on getting good grades in all my class'. No excuse for me to slack off this year. 

I hope you guys had a great New Year's Eve and that you will have many blessings in 2012!
