I think it was VERY needed by both of us. Dear Mom: Thank you for being so awesome. I had a great time at dinner Friday Night. I am glad that you and are I becoming better friends the older I get. I am also very sorry for being a spoiled rotten teenager. I wish I could change it. Dear Boyfriend: You make me laugh soo soo hard, and thank you for caring about my stupid worry-wart-ness that kept me wide awake at 4 am this morning. Dear Tennis: I am super glad I am getting back into playing you again. I really feel like I get a good work out. Dear TCU football: 11 days!!!!!

A Totally Different Weekend

If you read my last post, you would know that I went to a Ranch for the weekend.

I am not a big outdoorsy/hunting/kill hogs/fish type of girl. Don't get me wrong, I love to fish off a dock, in the shade, and just catch perch. But this past weekend, I was taken out of my element and given a whirl-wind experience of the outdoors.  Not only was I the one who dressed completely out of place, BUT I was the won who came in 2nd in our little shooting game, and I caught two pretty decent sized bass.

I am not really sure how to explain the whole weekend, besides saying that I had an absolute blast. We spent the majority of the time watching the boys shoot guns, and spot lightening animals for them to kill. After the girls took a much needed afternoon nap Saturday, we went back out to the pond to shoot some guns ourselves. Talk about fun!! I was really nervous about it. I had only shot a gun once before, and semi-enjoyed the experience. So needless to say I was a newby when it came time to shooting the guns. A friend tried to show me how to shoot his gun, I totally put my eye in the wrong place to look.. Opps!! After all was said and done, I am a pretty decent shot, and I really like shooting certain guns.

 (Some I do not! Anthony made me shot all three of his, including the one he keeps in the night stand) 

Before we left on Sunday, a couple of us decided to kill an hour by fishing in the pond that was right near the house. Second cast in- I had a bass!!! It reminded me of when my grandparents lived on the lake years ago. I would spend my summers fishing off their dock, catching, kissing and throwing back the perch.  It was always so much fun.  I ended up catching two pretty decent size bass, and one perch that got off the hook before I could reel it all the way in. 

This was one of those weekends, that I tried something new, adventurous and I loved it! I have done alot of things in my 27 years, but it seems that since moving back to the states, my adventurous side has died down some. I have gotten into a simple routine and gotten scared to try new things.  So, the lesson I learned from this weekend is that I need to continue doing things out of the box, do things that scare me, do things that are out of my normal element.

Does anyone have any ideas? Id love some to try!! 

Trips

This is the day, I would normally link up for InstaFriday. Sadly, my time at work was crazy busy and there wasn't even a minute I was able to sit down and do it.

I would do it now, but I don't am typing this on my phone and service is spotty. So instead I decided to post about something I love....road trips.

This weekend we had planned a road trip to the ranch with some friends. Originally I had to work Friday night and would have missed driving there with everyone that afternoon. But some how or another, God has a soft spot for me and my VB games tonight got moved to an away game which have me the night off!!

So now I'm in the back seat of the massive King Ranch Truck enjoying the Texas hillside scenery as someone else drives. How much better this get? There is something about going on a short road trip that just rejuvenated and excites me. It's a small vacation without the big cost, the not being in a familiar place, the excitement of what the weekend could bring, and the relaxation of knowing you have nothing you have to do.

What could make this trip any better you ask? I have some great friends with me, one amazing boyfriend, get to experience a whole other side of life, I get to shoot guns... Well it's the fact that there is no cell phone reception there. I am so excited about that. While at PK over the summer I learned to enjoy the life of no cell technology, it was a quite refreshing.

So come Monday, I will hopefully have lots of pictures and a great post.
Hope everyone has a great weekend !!

New Love

I have recently found a new love in my life. It is the Reeses Sonic Blast from obviously Sonic. I am absolutely in love with them. They are delicious. Just look at it! 

I would like to thank 2 people in my life for this obsession.

 1. My roommate. She got me onto the Ched'R'Peppers there. So, it got me going there to get those. 

2. My loving boyfriend. He got a shake or some sort of Reese's dessert from Culvers one day. That is what got me into the Reese's into ice cream thing. 

So as I was at sonic one day getting Ched'R'Peppers, I was craving some chocolate. I remember how good the thing from Culvers was, so I thought I'd give it shot..... I heard the birds singing, and the choir and all of it. It was heavenly! 

on a completely random side note - I joined twitter a couple weeks ago, and I am really starting to enjoy it. So, if you are on it and aren't following me... feel free. My name is @megmoney08. I only have 8 followers. 

Monday Edition

Dear Weather: Thank  You for being semi cool during these last couple football practices. This morning was super nice. Thank you. Dear Erin Condren: I LOVE LOVE LOVE my planner. Dear Weight Watchers: I am not sure how I lost last week, but thank you scales for showing me a good  number. Dear Family: We had a great and peaceful time Saturday at dinner, and the Astros game. An even better time playing doubles tennis with everyone. Dear Little Brother: Good Luck in your Sophomore Year @ TCU. I am proud of you. Dear Me: You need to learn to keep secrets to yourself. Regardless of how happy you are about things that are going on. Just be calm!

Happy Monday to Everyone!!! 

Linking up

I have been searching for quite some while to find a link up that I actually find interesting. I FINALLY found one!!!! Yeah!! 

It just happens to incorporate my favorite app on my Iphone.... drum roll please... instagram!! 

You know, that small little app that became popular a couple months ago. It was recently bought out by Facebook for a TON of money. Rumor has it, it only had close to 10 employees at the time. That is awesome. 

So I have linked up with Jeannett @ Life Rearranged for InstaFriday. This is my first attempt!! Here is to meeting new bloggers and having a great time taking pictures :) 

Love of my life

My Roommate!!! 

My cat was yawning when I tried to take a picture of her lazy/comfy looking behind!!!

My Football coach randomly walked up to me and asked me to hold something for him... it was this frog. He goes " A frog for a HornFrog"

Yeah... football practices!!

I learned about these in April from a fiend and had never found them... untill last faithful Saturday. I chose not to buy them because I was buying the ice cream below, and them someone brought some up to work. It was meant for me to try them. They were pretty dang good. But I sadly love double stuffed Oreo's better.  

MY FAVORITE Ice Cream of all time. I took this picture to send it to my mother (Who is also a die hard lover of it), This ice cream is on rotation so its rare to see it. When I do... I grab it up :)  

Inspiration

This Texas heat is HOT! The last couple days have been in the upper 90's for while we are at football practice.  Even though the temp has been high, the actually feel outside hasn't been as torture as last years. There has been a nice breeze the last couple days, as well as some cloud cover for our late afternoon practices. Which oh, geez, that makes a huge difference!! 

One thing about the beginning of the new football season is that it brings out Alumni and old students who want to come reminisce. I have had two days full of students who have graduated from here come back to say hello. But I have to say the best was two of my former Montgomery students (Where I haven't worked in now a full year) stopped by to say hello. They both graduated this year, and when I met them as sophomores I wasn't aware at how huge of an impact I would make on their lives.  Both came out and stood out at football practice with me for 3 hours. It was awesome. They are both great kids, with such inspiring futures. I am so blessed to be apart of their lives and help mold them into the people they are becoming. 

It got me thinking of the people who make such impacts on our lives without us knowing. I happen to tell my roommate the story of the journey I took to get accepted into TCU last night. Not to my surprise, I began to tear up just telling her the story. The women I talked about had such a huge impact on my life, that without her help through that year, I would never be where I am today. 

Hope everyone has someone who has made such an impact on their lives, and I hope that you take the time to realize that you could be that person as well. 

Back to Work

Well it has come to that time of the year. Back to work time. That means this week has been filled with physicals, questions, and basically just getting ready for the mad rush of high school athletes that will be here Monday Morning. BRIGHT AND EARLY. 

I have been semi looking forward to coming back to work for about 3 weeks now. I have had the ultimate lazy/fun summer. I got to see alot of people, do alot of things, and really get to hang out. It has been quite nice and relaxing honestly. I like to be busy though. Being busy makes the days go by faster and its easier for me to stay in shape, and eat better. 

Just a small update. Got to get back to being productive at work :)
