Monday Chatter

So, this is my last week of summer for 5 weeks.  Actually, my last week of summer for 19 school days.  It’s a little bittersweet.  I am not ready to tackle A&P II and medical terminology over a 5 week span.  At the same time, I can do anything for 5 weeks, and it’s my last undergrad class EVER!!! Hallelujah!

Anyhoo…

I started the C25K about 2 weeks ago.  I have been pretty consistent.  However, I have decided that I need to get up earlier because it is WAY TOO HOT!!!  I didn’t run this morning, but I am gonna get my lazy butt out there late this evening or first thing in the morning.  We shall see.

I told you it was HOT!!!

That says 105!!!

I mentioned in my last post about how I’ve been crafty.  Well, this is my latest creation.  I didn’t want to display it on my blog until Tyler had seen it.

This picture was taken during the drying phase before the tape was removed.

This is the finished product.

This morning I was bored of my orange and silver toes, so I decided to give them a patriotic look.  My sister got me crackle nail polish for Christmas, so that’s the top coat. My toes are kinda funky looking, but the nail polish is cool. :)

I entered to win a Nikon D3100 today.  I found out about the giveaway on another blog.  GroopDealz is giving it away.  I really hope I win. 

Try to stay cool!!

Everything Else…

This is my third post in one day!!!!  Definitely a record.  This post is just a bunch of randomness from summer.  I will try to get all the stories right and in the correct order.  Just bear with me.

First of all, Steph and Stephen went on a cruise, and I got to watch after my cute little nephew for a couple days.  I know I say this every time I talk about him, but he is so darn cute and at a really fun age.

I also got some snuggle time with Baxter during the Olmstead vacay.

Tyler and I are trying to eat at home more. We couldn’t take it anymore, so we splurged and went to Pizza Hut.  The Pizza Hut in Arkadelphia has an outside eating area and we love sitting out there during the spring and summer.  We usually ending up staying for a couple hours without even realizing it.

A couple weeks ago, we drove to Texarkana to run some errands and get some Olive Garden.  Of course, we ate WAY more than we should have.

I snapped this picture before we left for out day date.

I’ve been in Arkadelphia for about 3 weeks.  This is probably the longest I have ever stayed here during one stretch.  Well, I got bored one day and decided to get some summer time highlights.

I’ve also been doing some crafts.  I made this the other day.  It’s a scripture board.

I’ve also spent some time at the pool working on my tan.

On Saturday, I went to one of Tyler’s cousin’s wedding.  It was short, sweet, and to the point.  There was good food, good music, and good times with family.  Tyler couldn’t make it because he was working. :(

I was laughing during this photo.  Also, I am pretty sure I wasn’t even looking at the camera.

That’s it.  I think I am caught up.  YAY!!  Happy Hump Day!!

Tyler’s Birthday and Memorial Day Weekend

Tyler turned 23 this year.  The years are flying by faster and faster.  I mean, I still have pictures from his last birthday on my camera.  We were in Arkadelphia for Tyler’s birthday, but we decided to go to Texarkana to celebrate.

I tried to get a good picture of the 2 of us.  It took forever because Tyler didn’t want to smile.

Tyler decided that he wanted to sleep on the way home, so I snapped this picture.

On Memorial Day weekend, Tyler and I loaded up the labs and headed to the creek.  We spent a few hours away from technology.  It was nice just the two of us and the dogs.

Have you ever seen a dog so rotten??

Manda’s Graduation and Graduation Party

My baby sister is ALL grown up.  On May 18th, she graduated from high school!!

The next day, I threw her a party.  Through a few tears and a lot of sweat, everything turned out great.  There was food from a grill, a balloon pit, a streamer wall for pictures, and table all about her.

The balloons kept blowing out of the pit, so we had to use grandma’s quilts to cover the pit. Quite humorous!!

I guess should explain, that all of her presents are in the pit. 

After eating, she has to get into the pit and find her presents. 

All the guests get to laugh her while she bobs around in the balloons.

Everybody that came had their picture taken in front of the wall.

The balloon pit also made for some pretty cool pictures.
