No. INTERNET! :(

So we lost power a week ago for about 5 days... This caused our wireless internet to go out!! I haven't been able to skype, Facebook, YouTube or anything for a week!! And honestly.. It has been amazing. I have loved the break from cyberworld! (but take my phone or texting away and I'll hunt you down!)
I still don't have Internet so I'm just posting from my phone cause I have wanted to update or write something!

So here is a little recap...
1. I got thrown off a jetski and screwed up my neck (you can thank B for that one... I still love you bubba. Even if you are adopted)
2. I got super super sick and couldn't keep any food down because I was dehydrated. Basically I was working to hard... Surprise surprise
3. Lost a very dear family friend due to a tragic accident :(
4. Lost Internet due to crazy storms (which I LOVED by the way)
5. we gained a new dog for a couple weeks! B&C had to let us keep baby Roxy for a little while.
6. Went bowling... I still suck at that game.
7. Been a workaholic like usual!

So with everything going on I missed a few blogs! Hopefully Internet will be back up soon and I will post about my trip to the lost magical place in the world :)

Love love love

As much as I love my job (which is a TON!!!) I am glad I get a couple days off to catch my breath.

This weekend is gonna be a good one :) Tonight we are going to Concerts in the Garden. It is basically like a big picnic with music playing each night. Tonight is the Beach Boys music :)
I love it!! I grew up going to these every summer since I was born. I love going back each summer.... it is so relaxing and so much fun.
I love being home for the summer :)

Long time no see...

oh my goodness! It has been SOOO long since I have done a post. I have missed it a whole lot! I will start doing more and more I promise!
I have done so much in the past month....

• Finished school (all A's and B's!) 
• Been to Disney World and had the TIME OF MY LIFE!
• Been teaching private swim lessons
• and being a workaholic like usual :)

Life has been pretty busy but I am loving it!!

A day for me is like this: 

1. wake up and teach a 9:00 lesson
2. Teach lessons at 9:30, 10:00 and 10:30
3. Go into work around 12 and while at work do scheduling, payroll, and many other things (dealing with an old pool usually keeps me busy!)
4. then Group swim lessons start at 5:00. As the swim director this requires me to go around and  make sure each class is going properly and smoothly and the children are paying attention and the teachers are on track for the day.
5. then at 5:45 I coach kids in swim team and help them perfect their strokes.
6. then at 7:00 I teach water aerobics then I have another private lesson at 7:45

BUSY BUSY BUSY!!!! But I absolutely LOVE it! Loving your job make it easy to get up!

That schedule changes every week but its usually 8:00am to 8:00 pm of total pool work! 

So... a couple weeks ago I went to Disney World for my 21st Birthday! I had SOO much fun! Seeing Mickey, Minnie, Goofy (aka DAD!) and all the other princesses just made me so happy! 

My future home :)

Sequin Minnie Ears!!! LOVE!

SO much fun with Mommy in the Teacups!!

Action pic of Teacups!

Since Dad calls me Nemo because I am ALWAYS in the water it was just fitting that I took a picture with Nemo :) 

I wish I could be a kid forever!!!!

My parents and I also rode the HULK over and over again :) I loooved having a fast pass and skipping all of the lines!!!!

I will write an entire blog over the trip at a later time :)

But this girl is sleepy! Been out in the sun all day and working like crazy! 

Sunburnt and sleepy...

We are Family!

The past two weeks have been the hardest two weeks of my life! Literally… MY WHOLE LIFE .

I have never been so stressed as I have been then these last couple months. So much that I have made myself sick. But Thankfully things will slow down for the last 2 weeks of school. All I have left to do is one paper to write and one presentation to give then finals. I am so ready for a break. But all my stress need to be put away and I need to talk about this weekend. MY BROTHERS WEDDING! J  I am so freaking stoked that he is now a husband to the most amazing girl. She truly is his “one” and I know they will be together forever. Just like my parents, they show that they have true love between them. I absolutely love seeing them together. They make my heart smile!

Here are a few pictures of their wedding! I will post a link when the professional pictures are done J

The ceremony was absolutely beautiful… aside from my little mishap! I was a bridesmaid and I was standing so calm (not crying) and trying to look beautiful.. except I kept feeling something itch up my leg. (this was an outside wedding). I didn’t want to distract any attention from the bride so I tried to stick it out and not bend down and scratch it but kind of lightly stomp my 5in heel in the ground lol. Well that didn’t help. A few seconds later I noticed something was kind of hurting my leg… so I slowly bent down and kind of itched it. Apparently whatever was on my leg decided to get mad and bite harder and move UP my leg… ummm NOT OK! I still didn’t want any attention coming to me so I just tried to deal with it. Next thing I know Pop Pop (Caileys Grandfather) actually got out of his seat and came up to me and started hitting my leg.. right in the middle of the ceremony!! Apparently it was a huge spider!! AHHHH!!!  I am sooo glad I didn’t see it because I would of FLIPPED OUT! It would have been so embarrassing! Anyway that was the only thing that happened! No dress ripping, no falling down the aisle, no falling in those shoes! SUCCESS!

Another fun thing about the wedding was the had a candy bar that was full of candy and sweets J And right next to it there was a photo booth with fun props!  I will post some of those pictures below of those funny memories!

I was a dancing fool out there on the dance floor. HAHA! So many fun dances!! Like the Macarena, cupids shuffle, electric slide, Twist and Shout... TONS OF FUN!! Mom and dad got out there and danced, my cousins, my aunts, my moms best friend who I call aunt Kathy and Uncle Rick and their Nephew Eric (he is the one who was my buddy for all the crazy dances! SO much fun!) I loved being just so carefree and not having to worry about anything!

I loved seeing people that I haven’t seen in so long like Molly, Jenny, Jennifer, the Mannings, and so many more. It was an absolutely wonderful day and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect, Godly woman to marry my big brother. Their wedding day was absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to one day walk down that aisle at my wedding… but don’t worry.. that wont be for  a VERRRRY long time ;)

And the best part about the whole night is I got to drive the bride and groom to the hotel! I got this awesome Choufeer hat and once they got in the car I put it on and said “Where to Mr and Mrs Barrett Green?”  They just looked at me and laughed so hard! Then we started quoting Dumb and Dumber quotes when Lloyd was driving Mary to the airport haha I love my family!!

This weekend was absolutely perfect and I couldn’t have asked for a better addition for my family! I love you Barrett and Cailey Green!

Now… time to go get my room clean and get everything ready to go for dead week! Only 2 more weeks left!

A tired bridesmaid,

I know I haven't been blogging much and truth is I really do miss it! School has just been so crazy with the semester wrapping up. Like I said in my previous post, all my weekends are tied up. I have literally NO time during the day and I am in need for a great vacation! Soon enough I will be riding the Hulk over and over with my daddy. I can't wait!
Well.. back to studying for my test at 2:30... Good news is I got a 92.. yes a 92! on my last test!!! I was amazed!
Ok.. for real this time... back to studying

Getting a bigger brain...

A Wonderful Break...

Spring Break has come to an end... a sad sad end. :(
I will have to say that this spring break was one of the best ones EVER!!!
I was able to spend time with my family, and I got to earn some $$$!!

On Friday I was able to spend the day with my mommy and have a spa day then go shoe shopping :)... i got a massage, a pedicure, 2 new pairs of high heels (black and the famous Red High Heels!) and my mommy also treated me to a new purse! Around 5:00 Tamara, Braden and Aaron got into town. We all went to dinner then went to a movie at the Movie Tavern. Then on Saturday we went to the Polo Tournament in Las Colinas. I separated from them for a couple hours and went out to Lake Lewisville and I got to spend time with my cousins, aunts and uncle :) It was great!! I loved seeing them! Then I met back up with the group and went to dinner and hung out with the OSU polo team for a while. We got back around 1:30. Everyone wanted to then watch a movie so we rented Social Network and didn't go to bed till 3:30! Then on Sunday I had to drive back :( I did not want to at all! I hate leaving the place that is so important to me.
Good thing is I will be back on Friday for Barrett and Cailey's wedding shower! I can't wait!

I also go to see several of my friends. I got to see Ashely and Kory Hicks and their one month old beautiful baby girl. And I also got to see Kristy Allen and her 6 month old baby girl! It was great seeing everybody I care about. I also got to go spend time with Ashley!!! She actually let me take her shopping! I WAS SHOCKED!!!!

All in All it was a wonderful week and a half.
now.,... The countdown until summer...... 46 days!
ANDDDD only 33 days till my big brother gets married!!!!

counting down the days...
