Dear Monday

Dear Monday: You are back again? It seems like just yesterday you were here. Boo. Dear Grad School: Things are not starting out as well as I had planned. I waited to long to order the book, now my assignment is late and I am slowly being reminded why I hate school, and questioning why in the world I went back. But I must continue, because I know deep down, a masters is what I need to get to the next platform in my career.  Dear Sunday: I can not wait for you to get here.. Its a secret to as why... I will explain next Monday :) Dear This week in general: I have a lot of stuff planned out for you. Need to get things ready for the boyfriends birthday on Friday, which we will be celebrating Thursday. Dear TCU Football: Thank you for a great 56-0 stomping on Grambling State this past weekend. It is nice to open the season up with a huge win like that. This Saturday should be a pretty good game @ Kansas. I don't have to work Saturday YAYY , So it will be a lazy day of watching College Football. Dear yesterday (Sunday): Thank you so dearly for allowing me to take 2 naps, sleep in, eat Mexican food, and lay around all day watching football. It was quite the perfect Sunday. 

Last but not least...

Dear Weather: You. Are. Amazing. Please stay for ever. 

Insta-Friday Link Up :)

It is Friday again, and I love linking up with Jeannett for Insta-Friday. :) 

Every Friday, I start to do this link up and I think.. wow I don't remember any pictures that I took this week. So I look thru my camera roll. Also new pictures in there. So here is how my last week went.....

On Labor Day I acquired several new pieces of furniture. This was the TV stand that I got.  

I love it! 

So, This little fan has become a huge friend of mine in my locker room after workouts. I shower,

and I still cant get cooled off. Until I found this little friend. 

What a difference it has made!! 

This is our friends dog. She is probably the NICEST and most Gentle dog ever. She does not have many facial expressions so I am glad I caught this one. I am almost positive Anthony was telling her to stop 

barking... Her eyes say " Who do you think you are? You are not my dad"

I graduated from TCU in 2008 and my Brother is currently a student-athlete there now. He put Dream Big, because at the time he was trying out for the Football team. It has been his dream to be a TCU football player forever. This past Monday, his dream came true. He was informed that he made the team. Tomorrow he will suit up and be on the sidelines as a TCU Football Player. I am so proud of him. 

 This is how our Basketball Coach comes to watch Football practice. Laying down, on the pads, in the shade. 

 My Roommate and I!! As you can see, both of us are reppin' TCU. People need to learn we are not just TCU Alumni. We know TCU football. So don't start with us because you will be schooled by girls      

cough cough.....random boise state fan.....cough cough :) 

 Tomorrow is our season opener. This season has to huge things about it. 

1. We entered the Big 12

2. Brand new stadium renovation. All done by donated money. Not one cent in debt. GO FROGS!! 

I found these on pinterest on day. I was bored at home and tried to make them the other day. They work great! 

& Last but not least. This is a picture of two of my students from when I worked at a different high school. Both now high school graduates. Makes me proud. They are great kids. 

That is all. Hope everyone has an awesome weekend... and of-course.. 

GO FROGS!!!! 

Dear Monday

Dear Monday Labor Day: I am so use to having to work on Labor day, that when people are all excited about having a 3-day weekend, I look confused because it is only a normal weekend. One day weekend... aka Football season :) Dear Grad School: OPPS, I totally forgot to read over the weekend, it is going to take me some time to get use to being back in school. Dear Auction: I enjoyed the open house yesterday, and wish I could go to the actual auction today... but nope we have football practice......yaayyy (???) Dear running: Why does it feel like I ran a freaking marathon today?? Guess that is what I get for not running regularly anymore. Dear Brother: I am praying for good news today. I have faith in you and know you have given it your all... today is judgement day.... it will be good news. I know it.. 

and last but not least... Dear Boyfriend: I am glad you had fun at your Labor Day Boys Weekend in the Ozarks.... but I am even more glad that you are coming home today. 

Hope everyone has an enjoyable and great Labor Day!!!!

Collge World Series

Since I am in Kansas for several days and the College World Series is in going on right now, Courtney and I decided to make the short 3 hour trip to Omaha to see it. We left around noon on Saturday, and got there around 330ish that afternoon. Her younger brother is up there with his little league team and we were able to get some free General Admission tickets to the game from him. For those of you who have never been, General Admission tickets are the outfield seats. They let in the first 5,500 spectators, and then as people leave the let more people in. It is an experience!!!  Once we got to the stadium and walked the mile from our car, we decided to walk around and try some zestos ice cream before getting in line for the 8 pm game. 

While in line for Zestos, Courtney and I realized just how small the world is. This guy behind us was hitting on this marketing intern, and since we are both nosey and were ease dropping on the conversation, I heard the girl say she was originally from Texas! So I asked where in Texas.. get this.. we graduated from the SAME high school 3 years apart from each other!!!!  To make the world even smaller, she was a diver at Purdue and one of her teammates was an old athlete of Courtney's from Kansas.

During the game, they have beach ball balloons that they toss up between innings and its just a great atmosphere. We saw two fights, several people kicked out of the game, and of course we happened to miss a proposal that happened a couple rows away from us.

The experience was overall an B. The single reason I wont give it an A is because we were not there cheering on our beloved TCU Horn Frogs. (Who were only 2 wins away from being in there... dang you UCLA. One more loss and your done!!!)

We decided to drive back the 3 hours after the game (game ended at midnight) back to Kansas. Poor Courtney drove through horrible rain to get there and then through horrible fog on the way back.But I am pretty sure she would say it was worth it!

In the car beginning our trip to Omaha

The lovely storm she drove though

We found TCU Fans!

People started writting numbers on the beach balls

This resturant is everywhere!!

Our view

On the way up there, we had to pass through 2 states, and I was able to mark off 2 states on my 50 states list! I am now down to 23 to see! 

New state to cross off!!

Stupid Nebraska did NOT have a Welcome sign

On a random note, I purchased my Erin Condren Life Planner before I left to come to Kansas!! I am super excited for it. If you have one, you probably know how awesome it is. I just ordered my first and I am So excited!! If you are interested, Megan over at Growing Up is Actually Kind of Fun is having a giveaway for I believe a $25 gift card. Go give it a look.

 Well that is it for Today, Tomorrow will be a new Dear Monday! Look for it!
