Back to Bruce :)

I realize that I wasn't successful in the unrealistic goal to blog everyday, but I still want to do this. I think once a week is completely doable. So here we go!

The semester starts on Tuesday! I have been back in Bruce since Monday and I finished my last final last Tuesday. It went well and I got the grade I wanted in that class. Bruce is amazing as always! I miss the RA's that didn't come back this semester, but these rookies aren't so bad ;) It makes me so happy to be back with my friends! We are already on the ball with BHA planning programs and stuff for this semester. I am so excited about the great ideas that we have, and even some of the ones we are planning with the RA's. It's gonna be a fantastic semester!

I think I am gonna try being more gutsy this semester. I am not gonna hold myself back because of the fear of failing or rejection. My motto is "No Regrets! Be A Man!" and I will live up to it for sure. I have already started some of the things on my list of resolutions, and my spirits are high! Wish me luck on a good semester!

To New Beginnings!!!

I am back home and now it's time to start studying for that accounting exam I had postponed because of my hand. I e-mailed the teacher to schedule a time, so we'll see what day I have to take it. I am supposed to be back in Bruce on the 10th for training. Hopefully I can take it after that so I don't have to make a special trip to Denton. I can't wait to be back home! I love Bruce! This semester has to be better. I have so many new goals and I am determined to complete as many as I can. Mostly this semester is going to be about finding my path to God. Like I talked about before, I plan on praying more and meditating. I need a daily routine in my life. My mom was going through her prayer stuff, and she found a couple of books that she gave me. The best thing was a copy of the Bhagavad Gita with Sanskrit writing and translations in English. I already started looking through it and it is the simplest explanations I have ever seen. I am excited to read every page of it. I am ready for this new journey and I am ready for all of the lessons and stories it has to offer. I find hope in this. I know God has a plan for me, and I am ready for  this new beginning. <3

Houston :)

I have been stressing my entire time in Houston. I took this trip to get away for a few days, but it was always on my mind. I got home today, and found out that we have more time. I knew that everything would be okay. We are good people, and there is no way that this is the end for us. God has a plan for us and I know this.

It was a really good trip with the girls and it couldn't have came at a better time. I drove down to Houston with a couple of my friends to visit my roommate and another one of my girls. The drive was nice and easy. I loved seeing all of the trees. You realize when you leave the city how little trees we really have. I felt the same way when I went to Baltimore last summer. New Years Eve was a lot of fun. We hung out at my friend's house until after midnight and then went back to the hotel and hung out some more. It was pretty chill, but always a blast with the girls. The next day we relaxed at the hotel for a while and then we went off to the Woodlands mall. We were only there for about an hour because apparently they close at 6 on New Years day. I was feeling everything I was trying to runaway from and that's when the whole "Tell me a joke" thing started. My lovely friends came through for me. That night we went back to the hotel and watched Sweeney Todd and Despicable Me. Before we drove back we stopped and visited my husband and the in-laws (Taylor, my roommate and her parents). The drive back was fairly smooth. We didn't hit any traffic and the weather was nice. Overall I would say it was a really good break from the break!

I lost my smile. Tell me a Joke.

I was sad thinking about home today. I was worrying about everything I tried to escape. I have some wonderful friends who are always not there, but here for me, so It started with a text... I lost my smile. Tell me a joke.
This is what I got:
A Jew joke too horrible to say. It didn't make me smile, but he tried again later and it worked.

A not so much joke. It did make me smile, but it's a little gross... I should have expected that from Choni!

So a giraffe walks into a bar and falls asleep on the floor. The bartender walks in and says whats that lyin on the floor, and a guys says that's not a lion that's a giraffe... so cute! I love Christine!

So a little boy is running in the streets. Fast. Haulin ass. It's like 2 in the morning. So a cop pulls the little boy over. He asks him, why are you running little boy? The little boy says because my daddy beats me. What about your mom little boy? She beats me too he says. So the cop asks, so where are you running? The little boy says, to the Dallas Cowboys stadium, they don't beat anyone... This one was the best! Especially coming from Adam who doesn't watch football, but he knows I am a Cowboys fan.

What did one math book say to another math book? We've got problems!
There was a boy who threw butter. When they asked him why he threw it, he said he wanted to see a butterfly!... my baby, Axell is so cute!

Why do accountants make good lovers? Because they're good with figures.
If an accountant's wife cannot sleep, what does she say? Darling, could you tell me about your work?... Vaughan did good with these! Hanna and I appreciated them :)

I love them so much!
