Living the tough life...

So far its been a great summer. Seriously, recommend teaching as a profession. If for nothing else....SUMMER BREAK! Too bad it is rapidly coming to an end. I'm almost ready for a new school year I think.
I don't have much to blog about. Just thought I would update this blog since I have it...

So a lot has happened since I last updated this thing..I'm pregnant! AHHHHHH!! hehe (If you are reading this and didn't know that then you are a stalker b/c I probably don't know you ;)

Here are some belly pics. Now that I'm actually getting a belly, it is fun to look back at the changes!

5 weeks...oh the days of a flat stomach!

10 weeks. Hardly anything.

14 Weeks

19 weeks...belly is growing!

And more good news...ITS A GIRL!

one word...

twilight.

or maybe 2 words...twilight saga.

I am slightly obsessed I think. I knew that EVERYONE who read the books were obsessed. I didn't understand until I started the series. OH EM GEEEE. I love it. I am not really a reader so when I read a 560ish page book in two days. You know they are good.

Lucky for me...I am off of school today and Eclipse is waiting for me on the coffee table. Check ya later :)

ohhh yeah.

This past weekend I ran another half marathon. Supa fun. Seriously..it might not sound fun but it totally is...especially when you are running with a best friend!! I ran much faster this time (thanks to Jen) and finished the race in 1:54! (last time I did it in 2:09....not to be mistaken for 3:09 :)

I didn't know I could run that fast. I averaged 8:45ish pace throughout the 13.1 miles. CRAZY. I mean, I trained running about a 10 minute pace. CLEARLY I was not pushing myself enough...and now Jen knows I can run that fast so she is going to kill me when we run together. Grrrr.


More good news...hubby sent me flowers to school yesterday. I don't know if he has ever done that so I was really surprised and excited. I mean, he GETS me flowers...just never sends them. Super sweet!

I think that is all I have to report today. I'm sure I could think of something else to ramble on about but it is unnecessary. And I'm sure all two and a half of you that read this have better things to do. lol

Off to do laundry!!!

SNOW...and a tiny accomplishment on PS Elements

Happy Snow Day! No school for me. Just hanging out around the house, doing some laundry, playing in the snow with Rebel, etc.


Now for my tiny accomplishment on PhotoShop Elements. I just downloaded the trial to play around with it. I was kind of lost at first. I didn't really know what to do...or fix. Then I found a picture of Jared with a glare on his glasses. It was a GREAT picture of my brothers and dad so I decided to work on it. I found a few online step by step guides for this and here is the result!

Before..
After....

Not too bad, huh? I mean, it works for me! Still have a LOT to learn though.

Think that is it for now....maybe I'll go make a snowman!

Christmas

Well I had a WONDERFUL Christmas. I was extremely exhausted by the time we got back to the "Port" but I wouldn't trade any of the craziness!
So I got a new camera for Christmas! A Canon Rebel T1I and I am in love. I got a few tips from Jordan's cousin on how to use it but I still have a LOT to learn. I am excited about a new hobby. SO needless to say, I was a picture takin fool at Christmas. Here are a few pics from our Christmas...
Are these two not the CUTEST little boys you have ever seen?? They had so much fun. Love my nephews!!!

Justin, Tanna, and the boys trying to get a picture. The twins were not cooperating.

Jared opening his gifts. He got an Ipad! Love this kid so much.

We got the boys cowboy boots!
Hudson with his Honey. He always makes that cute face. I guess he was excited about his cookie!

Collin with his Honey

Me and MY HONEY! lol

Doesn't this picture just make you smile???

Mom and Dad celebrated their 36th wedding anniversary on Dec. 21st!

That's all for now! I am about to download a trial of photoshop elements. Should be fun!
