Dallas, Besties & Dave

Friday night, I made it to Dallas and got to see my very best friends! Ana and I caught up while going to meet Lindz at our fav place to eat. After talking about work and letting off steam we headed off for martinis and dessert. I couldn't ask for better friends. We have a blast no matter where we are. We laugh the entire time! The martinis were yuuuuummy and hit the spot.

Saturday was a perfect day of shopping and then we were off to the Dave Matthews Concert! Out of all of the Dave concerts I have been to, this is by far one of my tops. It was a perfect Set List... he played some of the most amazing freestyles, uhhh I loved it.

We have another girls weekend coming up so soon, I can't wait!!! This weekend Matthew and I will be in Dallas at the Texas State Fair for the UT vs Oklahoma game!!!!!!!! This is my favorite game of the year, Texas needs to really step up their game for this weekend. Come on Texas!

My Old Blog has been PUBLISHED!

How is awesome is this!!! Today was a greeeeat day. Even though when I got up and tried to go to work... my car wouldn't start. I drove Matthews car to work and my awesome future father in law took it in for me. It needed at new battery, it still had the factory battery from 6 years ago... so I consider myself lucky.
So when I got home I had my old blog... My Thoughts... My Life book at my door.
The book is soooo big and the exact way I wanted it to be. I had my old blog from September 2004 to December 2006. I stopped writing my old blog because it was my college blog, so since I graduated I wanted to go ahead and print it out.

It's awesome because I wouldn't change a thing. There are so many great memories from college. This book is something I will always have to look back upon.

Not only did I get my book that I have been working on for months, I got my HELLO KITTY swimsuit. You will soon start to realize I am ooooobsessed with Hello Kitty.

Today has been such a great day. We are about to go to dinner and I will have to post ACL recap later!

1,2,3,4 Tell me that you love me more

This weekend Lindz and her new hubby came to visit! Roy is leaving for Iraq so soon. I am so sad for Lindz, I couldn't imagine being without matthew for that long.

But I got to spend some good quality time with my bff. I didn't go to the UT game, I was so sad. But Lindz, Roy and I went to San Marcos Saturday and floated the river. It was a blast. We drank way too much, floated the river 4 times, road a trailer bus about 5 times, saw over 40 Asians, way too much went on. We had so much fun! Now they are gone and I miss them.

Time Flys

So after a very long day of work I get off and remember I have a water camera developed at Wallgreens. See I found this old water camera in box when we moved, it still had like 15 more pictures on it. So I used it this weekend when we went to the river (I will post about that later)!



This weekend is the 2007 Austin City Limits and I am so excited!!! But how ironic is it that the old camera I got developed today was the camera I took to ACL last year. Last year, Matthew, Lindz and I went to the ACL festival on Sunday. It was hot and rainy, but an amazing day.

This year Matthew and I are going together, we got a three day pass! I can't wait! It is suppose to be beautiful weather and no rain like last year!

Moments of college

In case you aren't a picture freak like me, you might not know that yahoo is discontinuing their yahoo photos. I haven't uploaded an album in over a year, now all of those old college pictures are transfered to photobucket. I am going through some of them... man I had the time of my life.

Cheers to good times and memories of college...

I can go on and on and on with pictures! I am so happy to have the millions and millions of pictures. College was the time of my life and I loved every minute of it.

Flugtag Weekend

Another weekend is ending. Tomorrow is the first day of school for my new kiddos. I am excited to start another year with my little ones. I have already met most of my students and they are precious!

This weekend was so much fun! We had a relaxing weekend finally. Every weekend since we bought
our house we have had someone here visiting or some big thing that takes up the weekend. This weekend we got to watch movies and just hangout.

Friday was just a night of swimming at his parents and having dinner there. When we came home we just watched movies and hung out.

Saturday we went with Josh to the Redbull Flugtag! Which was a blast!!! It was so interesting and fun, oh and very HOT. This was the first ever Flugtag that was held in the evening and at night. Flugtag started in 1991... there have been over 35. If you have a chance to ever go see one these... you have to. On theire website you can watch videos!
After a long day, we all hung out and watched a movie.

Today has been a day of homemade breakfast, laundry, dishes, just household chores. Now I am just getting ready for the first day of school.


~Cheers to another week

Another blog ~ Another First Post

I had a blog, My Thoughts... My Life, from September 2004 to January 2007. This was my college blog, I loved posting and I have missed it so much. I have just ordered my book print out of the blog. It is awesome, it's like have a diary of my college years. I went to SFA in Nacogdoches!!! Oh how I miss the college life.

I graduated college in December 2006. A few days after college I got a job as a preschool teacher. I am still teaching and living the life in Austin. I am planning my wedding for April 2008. I have never been so happy! My fiance is the greatest man alive!!!

Last night was the school's orientation. I got to meet my parents and new students! My bf and coworker have worked so hard to get our classroom ready.

Today I had a allergy test... I can't believe they have a test like this. They gave me 48 shots on my lower arms. My right arm was all my trees, grasses and weeds. The left arm was pet dander, molds, fungi. My right arm broke out up and down my arm. My left arm just had a few brake outs. I wish anyone could have seen how swollen and broke out my left arm. After not being able to move for 20 minutes, they retested me with a few injection shots in the backs of my upper arms. So what am I allergic to...
Tress...
American Elm, Hackberry, Mountain Cedar, Virginia Live Oak and Arizona Ash
Weeds...
Ragweed, Marsh Elder, Sage, Russian Thistle and Pigweed
Grasses...
All grasses ~ Bermuda, Perennial Rye, Timothy, Johnson and Bahia
Molds/Fungi...
Only one ~ Alternaria Alternata
Animals/Mites/Insects/Others...
Only a slite reaction to cats

So the diagnosis... I need to have 2 allergy shots a session. The sessions start out twice a week for about 6 months! The only once a week for a few years. So yay to allergies. In case anyone is wondering why I got allergy shots... no I didn't just volunteer for this awesome irratating & painful procedure. Since graduating and moving here I have become sick every two weeks. From the flu, bronchitis, sinuitisis, strep, colds, migranes... it can go on and on. But now I know how to fix these reoccuring illnesses!

Happy Friday!
