Shoveling Change

I had the weirdest dream last night... along with some crazy ones I can't quite remember, I dreamt that was walking to the coke machine very late at night. I kept looking over my shoulder (which I do anyway) but for some reason, I was extremely creeped out. When I got to the machine, I put my money in and pushed the wrong button (I wanted coke but pushed Diet Dr. Pepper) and then quickly pushed the right button. The can came out and I had not pushed the correct button in time because it was Diet Dr. Pepper; however; another came tumbling out, and another, and yet another. When I had retrieved all 3, money started pouring out of the machine as well. At this point, I had a decision to make because I had no where to put all the change. I came up with an idea that would require some less than "safe" tactics; I could only haul them in my shirt, except that it would require a large part of my belly to show the entire way back to the house. At this creepy point in time, it didn't seem smart but at the same time, I couldn't leave all that change! So, I started shoveling the change into my shirt and ran for the house. And happily ever after, I made it alive and that much richer.

I looked for it this morning... nothin'.

The Real Countdown Begins...

I can barely believe that all this time has gone by! Jon proposed on New Year's Eve 2006 at Shakespeare's downtown; it was beautiful and warm and with family and friends. Since then, it has been a lot of fun times being engaged and a time I will never forget.

We will be Mr. and Mrs. Jones on October 10, 2009 and the last minute frenzy has really begun! I cannot believe I will married to my absolute Prince Charming in less than 2 months (it is also our 4 year anniversary). I am blessed and cannot wait to begin the rest if lives. :)

Wish us luck! I am gonna cry like a frikin' baby the whole way through... I can just see it now...

Still Kickin'

Blood, sweat, tears, and 15 weeks later, Jon and I have officially made it through two and a half Master's classes. This one is kind of tough and our social life (or mine at least) has officially flown out the window. We have three weeks until our break for the wedding and we can barely take the wait!

I know I can make it through this Master's but there are times when I have to slap myself a couple of times to get through the night. It doesn't come as easily to me as others but I am holding strong with a 4.0. We'll see what happens here in the next three weeks...

Nonetheless, I have learned so much and am excited to continue on!

I Will Love Them Forever

Golden Girls - one of the best shows ever made, no doubt about it.

Those three women will forever be my heros and the amaziness of Golden Girls forever in my heart.

The Golden Girls - Just incredible writing, acting, and soul.

Reminds Me of Dad - The Best Song Ever

I heard this song awhile ago and it is totally amazing. In my opinion, it embodies the joy of music and life... and it just makes me happy. I absolutely love this song!

This is "People are Crazy". I definitely am, God is SUPER great and beer is totally good.

Enjoy this awesomeness and pass it around because the message is SO true and should be enjoyed by EVERYONE.
