Happy New Year! 2011!

Wow! Is it really 2011?!? I can't believe how time just flies by! 2010- Thanks for the memories! Its been a great year, full of so much! I became and Aunt to a beautiful niece - Leanna Marie <3. Football season was so amazing! This summers mission trip to Savannah...wow. My sister got married! and so much more happened that I can't even remember right now, but it was a great year....lots of trials and testing. LP and I moved into the parsonage, and Ive made some new friends.

Of course with any new year we all have resolutions. Each year we make them and each year people either stick with it or look back in regret at something they wanted to do but didn't. I have my resolutions and I'm not promising to keep them, but I am promising that I will try. I am hoping that I will stick with certain things, and improve on others....but for the sake of blogging and something to do at this youth lock in here are some of my resolutions.

1.Grow Spiritually- Ive been complacent and not seeking after God, I just lazy or out of time...so.. its time to change that. I want to read my bible more, memorize it and know it! I want to follow God's will for my life :)
2. Grow spiritually with my husband - this means praying more together and reading the word together. Means a lot to me for Christ to be the center of our relationship
2.5. Spend more time with LP - we don't see each other as much but i want us to spend more time together.
3. Finish my Masters
4. Be a better athletic trainer - For me this just means to expand my knowledge, be more efficient at what I do and currently know.
5. Get in shape! - i say it all the time. But really I miss working out! So getting into shape means I work out, run and lift weights, but that I am aiming towards getting healthy, losing some weight, and toning up!.
6. Eat healthier - less soda and tea, and more water. More fruits and veggies. My body appreciates healthier foods :)
7. Run and complete a Half marathon :) - or at least run in some races!
8. Build strong friendships with my friends - spend time with friends, make new friends, and go see the ones I haven't seen in a while
9. Read more (I secretly want a kindle)
10. Read Captivating and complete the workbook
11. Cook more- really i want to cook for my hubby and me. and I want to be pretty good at it
12. Spend more time with family and friends
13. Save money
14. Get closer to being out of debt - pay off trailblazer, and cards and just have student loans to worry about
15. Go on a real vacation with LP- or at least start saving up for a big one!
16. Relax more
17. Complain less
18. Be more positive - toward life and myself as well!
19. Journal more - and or blog :)

Im sure there are so manyl other things I could add to the list...but I think that is enough for now. Im so tired right now lol I just want to do to bed! But im trying to hang in there till the end of the lock in...woah
Well welcome 2011....hope this is a great year!

:D

quick note and pics

So working on homework is a drag....blahh. I'm not looking forward to this Annotated bibliography which I just spelled correctly I think on the first try haha.

Anyways got more of the house decorated and will have some pics up soon! We got our tree today! yay!

But here are a few of me and LP recently together...and notice the tree themes hehe.

Been a while

I can't believe the last time I blogged was when football started! Gah! So much has happened since then. Season went well, made it to first round of states only to lose to Cardinal Gibbons...I think we could have won, but we just weren't together.
Its winter season with wrestling and basketball and I really miss football. The seniors and I have been with each other for 4 years now. So its sad to see them go.
This season I did get to meet Tom Suiter from Football Friday. Tyree got the Extra Effort Award so proud of him.


Yesterday was Thanksgiving and I have so much to be thankful for! I am so thankful for friends, family, a very wonderful husband who I love so much! The youth group ministry I get to be some part of. But mostly for God getting me through everything and always standing by me.

LP gave me my bday present early yesterday:) I lost my DS a while back :( but he bought me another one and several games. He didn't tell me how much it all was but I know it was more than it needed to be. But he knows me so well! I love my DS and the new games.

LP and I went Black Friday shopping and all the games were kinda of sold out already at 1am crazy! But we got all the other stuff we wanted to get. Then we ate homework and cleaning to do...and hope to be done by tomorrow. :/ we shall see. I think I might go to Fuquay to Kohls and just to get out of the house again. I need more ribbon for some in home decorating!

Friday night Lights

Next week starts two-a days...8-11:30 and 1-3. Im pretty pumped about this year. We get Hoodies :)And I've had two young ladies who are interested in sports medicine come along and have been the biggest help ever!

However, the sad part about next week is that...the youth are leaving for Caswell on Monday, and I wont be able to go :( This is my first time missing Caswell with LP, and I am so bummed out about it. I couldn't find anyone to work for me. I have one Trainer friend around, but she is preggers and I dont want her out in the heat....no way!
So maybe God will make a way for me to go down on Friday. We shall see

Until then I am excited to start reading Captivating and doing a book journal that goes along with it. I am also still trying to read a Psalm a day...but have been slack this week. I am going to but 1 Corinthians on hold and start the book of John with LP.

So lots of stuff is going on. HS will start back soon and so will online grad school. Hopefully I can get a car after next week and start driving something with better gas mileage than our trailblazer and my dad truck. *fingers crossed* that this car will last a long time!

Well I just got done playing with my baby niece...who is the cutest baby in the world...I love her!:) But its shower time

peace

.....misery loves company...

If misery loves company...then that company is boredom :/

The basketball tournament is moving on....but just not fast enough. I just went and got some Chick-fil-A :) which was delicious and amazing as always. Usually I dont get the chance to go get any type of food during tournaments, but we had a intermission today, and instead of the plain peanut butter sandwich I packed I chose to get something much better....muy bueno! :) I am trying to find a sunny side to all this, and stop my complaining....im getting paid good money for this...but i just can't being bored...it wouldn't be so bad if I knew where I could be right now. :'/

Any ways we start back up at 330 and the last game starts at 630...so three more games....which is kind of like a night of basketball at OHS :/ loooooong, but the time inbetween these games is shorter and they play 2 16min halves instead of 4 8min quarters. so basically the same amount of time....

whew now my stomach hurts from eating...probably to much...usually I have Lawrence to make sure I dont eat as many chicken nuggets ;) But he is at UNC-W safely and with all the other cool people i wish to be hanging out with. But im glad he made it.

Alright fingers crossed in hopes the next three games will go by quickly. I might try to watch
Lie to me on Hulu.... love this show! Maybe that will make the time go by faster.
Either way Im sure in about 15 to 30 mins after my food has settled more I will want a nap.......oh if only. So ready to go. Ok i'll stop my complaining now

spy or ninja?...how about both?

Confession : I wish I was a spy....even though my husband told me there was no way I could be a spy, because I would cry to much to be one.
Confession 2: I wish i was a ninja....

So this weekend I am working a basketball tournament for AAU showcase stuff. Its good money but ugh It takes forever, and I was just looking at the schedule, there is small hour break window in which I could probably go get lunch or close my eyes, but should I get paid for that? I hope so. Im in Durham, which has horrible streets, my car already feels like it could fall apart and traveling on rumbling streets doesn't help the feeling.

When today is said and done, I get to go stay with my brother who is a home in Pilot. He said he would food ready for me when I got there :) He's such a good lil' brother. I just hope I can make it to the food, without crashing and falling asleep on the couch first..... 3.5 hours is not enough.

On the positive side, other than making some money....the week of FCA camp is here!! LP is headed down that way today (me=jealous/sad) wish I was there to hang out with everyone and go to the beach. Depending on game times tomorrow, I hope to be at UNC-W tomorrow late afternoon....or early evening...its goin to take 3 hours to get there...but I brought some new music :)
I really can't wait, I love FCA camp...and the beach! :D Its different not being a huddle leader, but being the athletic trainer...i definitely get a little more sleep than i did as a HL....but i miss being a huddle leader and building relationships. Some of my best memories, decisions, friends, and best times were at FCA camp. So I hope and pray it is that way for the other leaders.

Yesterday I read 1 Corinthians chapter 2. And I am really perplexed by what God's wisdom is, and what it means to have spiritual wisdom, and to speak spiritual truths. I really want to learn more about what spiritual truths are and how I can share it with others. So for now i plan to dig a little deeper into that and see what God has to show me

For now Im one game away (maybe 1 and 1/2) from finding a coke or Dr. Pepper...caffeine is much needed right now.

Peace

P90X????

Well today is suppose to be the day we restart P90X.....i was suppose to get up this morning and try but failed to roll out of my comfortable sleep. Now worries...i'll do it tonight? I have to work so it will be late when i get home. I really would like to wait till next monday since I will no longer have any MORE GAMES TO WORK!!! MUWAHAHAHA....whew im a little excited. :D

Friday markes the end of regular home games....might have a few practices bc of play offs....and i might travel with a team to those said playoffs...but well see.

Any ways yesterday was the last day of soda and sweets. I think what I will do for now so I dont end up binging on cake or something lol....is just no sweets during the week....and if I want something on the weekend I can have some of it in moderation. I can do that since i mostly just work all week. :/ Im gonna try to keep a daily log of my progress. I would like to start running again along with P90x... we shall see. I went for a walk with maggie and jogged some last night...felt good.

Ok....breakfast was coffee (with a spoon of sugar...can't help it right now lol) and 2 eggs with cheese on wheat toast (1 slice) hmmm got an orange for snack...and idk about lunch or dinner.

hmmm....we shall see...update later

blog or no blog

So as much as I like to talk and well talk I never blog. Why? I have no idea, but I like the idea of keeping a blog in hopes that one day i will use it! mahh

Anyways....migraine for the second day. Had one on friday....and got another one again today. :( All I can do when I have one is cry and hurt. So today I took midol and cherry coke....and then I slept. I woke up at 830pm and felt better. However, I still had a 6 page paper to write on my educational philosophy....mehh. I didn't finish by the 12am deadline, but hopefully my professor will not take off too much.

I still feel really weird, my body just feels so blah. Week and dizzy as well...I do not want to go to work tomorrow at all. But I have to , I can't call in sick unless I really really have to. Since I do not get a sub for my class, the class falls on one of the phys ed teachers and I feel bad for doing that with out warning.

So tomorrow morning I will be forced to get up early again, and work on something coherent for Sports medicine class.

Softball and Baseball are away tomorrow...which means i might get to leave work early. Goals are to go to revival with LP, and get work done so that my weekend is clear of all responsibilities. ...hoping to get that done.

Oh yeah we got a new vehicle...a 2003 Trail blazzer...its a nice ride. Hate we have car payments again, but I think the Trail Blazzer is worth it, i hope it will be....it sits 8 people...yep woah

well my head still feels like its being slightly squished. and my stomach has been feeling sickish since I got home...i think that bed time is in order...considering my dog is already taken up my spot on the bed...haha
goodnight

oh one day this blog will make sense...maybe...it is called random importance. :)

Haiti

Someone said that its sad that it takes a disaster for the world to realize there is so many people in need....either way. Gods people are in need. 85% of Haiti was poor before the quake....and just by GOOGLE I have seen that a lot of groups go and try to help out haiti...and now is time more than ever to go and Help Gods people who are hurting, in pain, agony, and lost.

Ever since the quake God has been pressing on my heart to go to Haiti. I cry for them, and literally want to pack my bags and go now. Right now I am in a state of prayer and waiting for God. I have answered his calling. To send me when it is his time. And to use me as he sees fit.

Pray for Haiti....give money for Haiti.....answer the call to be Gods witness to those who need it. Pray for other places that are just as bad as Haiti...other countries, cities, people..who are lost, lonely, scared and in need of a Savior.

God- I am your hands and feet I'll go where you send me....until them Help me to help the people of Haiti somehow.
