Brothers.

I didn't realize how much I missed my brothers until this weekend. I almost didn't come home this weekend but I am really glad that I did. This morning my brother's and I went out to breakfast and had a very civil meal and just kind of caught up on each other's lives. It was really nice. I am currently having boy issues and it was really nice to just talk to my brother's about it and having them care enough to give me advice without them saying, "Who do we have to kill?" They say this often but it was really nice that when I had a real problem I could talk to them about it and they help me reassure my decision. Now that we are all getting older and parting our seperate ways it's nice to know that we are still close.


Tonight after we got home from Grandma and Grandpa's house where we had birthday dinners... Matt Ryan Lindsey and I all got in the hottub (just the kids) and had a good time. I really enjoyed the time we got to spend together this weekend and even though Matt and Ryan can be very annoying at times and tend to pick on me WAY too much I'm still glad they are MY brother's and I wouldn't change it for the world. Thanks Guys you made my weekend a whole lot better.

So I just got back from my 5:00 aerobics class and I'm beat. I think I am literally in the worse shape of my life. I was in better shape as a two year old. My whole life I have been active and in sports well no so much any more. When it comes to working out on my own I am bit of a slacker. I signed up to take aerobics which I thought would be a fun class because I like dancing and jumping around as a posed to running and lifting weights. As part of the class we had to walk a mile which doesn't sound to hard right? WRONG! That was probably the hardest thing to do. We were not aloud to run and that's all I wanted to do the whole time. I got so confused on walking really fast. My little legs don't know how to walk fast they only know how to run. Considering my best friend in highschool was 6 foot tall and a superstar at track (Krista Spearman) when she would power walk I would be jogging beside her. Ugh. So another down side is when I was walking I could feel my legs jiggling. This was not a good feeling! No one wants to feel their legs jiggle. If anything this mile walk was a wake up call to get my butt in shape!

Today I also had a mental break down with my Chemistry homework. Trust me you don't really want to know... let's just say it ended with me throwing my book and crying. So i went to get a box of tissues a high shelf in my room and well I have to climb things to get anything that's on a top shelf and my leg fell asleep and I fell down luckily I'm okay, but I just layed there feeling sorry for myself. Finally after literally the 100th time I did this problem I got it right. I considered my self winning against chemistry just because I got it right and didn't give up. But let me tell you it was stressful!!!

Now I am off to Monday night dinners with my girls. Me and four of my friends always have dinner together on monday nights. It's fun and relaxing. Afterwards we watch the Bachlor together. After my day I'd say I'm ready for my Monday night dinner!

In college I have made many new friends but I still haven't forgot about the old. Kalyn Lantz who goes to Taylor University which is like 20mintues away from Ball State, we try to meet every other week to catch up and see how each other is doing. It's really nice to have this time with her. This is time I love spending because Kalyn is one of my great friends and I would never want to lose her friendship. I feel like many of my friendships from highschool have been lost but I know Kalyn will always be there.
It's really strange... I have dreams about Kalyn all the time. Kalyn was an amazing basketball player in highschool and I always dream that I go and watch her play and she's on like this superstar basketball team.. it's kinda fun because that is something that I always used to do in real life.

Never a dull moment with I'm with Kalyn!

Snow day!

So yesterday we had a snow day for yes COLLEGE. So what do college kids do on a snow day you ask? We play football in the snow.

We climb to the stop of snow mounds and slide down. These snow mounds were in the middle of the street so the word was CAR!! (if we saw a car coming we wouldn't want splatter little girls all over the road.
I got called Pippy all day long and I have no idea why (wink wink)
Since we are all poor here in college we had to improvise with out sleds... so we went to the dinning hall to gather our lunch trays aka sleds! this is what i'm sliding on here.

oh what a wonderful snow day we had!

A new Semester

I have officially had my first full week of my new NURSING semester. I am starting to get into classes that involve my major so I actually feel like I'm learning something that I will use. I still have yet to take history though.. YIKES! I was kind of dreading chemistry but now that I am in the class I actually like chemistry! It's hard but I like working on my home work in that class something about it just makes me feel smart ha. All my other classes are going well too. I have a community health sciences class where my prof. is very monotone and its a night class yay.. NOT! I am taking sociology which isn't bad it's very interesting but once again monotone prof. but I have that class with three of the girls I'm living with next year so we can all compare notes. I am also taking aerobics! Yes, my favorite class. I haven't worked out much but my instructor is hilarious!! and she loves me. We stayed after class talking for awhile she's in her 60's and has a Manhattan accent. Needless to say it's always fun in that class b/c she's crazy! And last but not least I'm taking a religion and culture class which is.. well.. interesting. We are talking about all these weird sorts of religions and our professor is really nice and teaches the classes with no opinions but it's still hard because there are those people in our class who are very opinionated about their religions and try to argue. Ugh.. it's annoying!

On a lighter note after my week was over I went out with some friends and ran into a friend I hadn't seen in a year, Cassie Tucker! She came to visit some people at Ball State and luckily I ran into her. This picture was taken right after I tackled her. We sat and chatted for a good hour just talking about great memories. Cass and I cheer together in middle school and all through high school. She was a year older than me. When we were in track we would carpool home and we loved it when my mom would pick us up because we had one of those big vans were you could lay the back seat down... and Cassie and I would lay it all the way down and sit at the very edge. When we got to stop signs we would make my mom take off as fast as she could and we would fly to the back of the van! We would be in so much pain but be laughing hysterically at the same time. Some of my dumbest but most fun things I have done with Cassie. It was a nice little trip down memory lane!
