Memorial Day

happy memorial day!

Just got back from a mini-vacation last night and today is a very relaxing day and I'm grateful for it!

Whats happened the past couple of weeks?...not a lot. I babysit two to four days a week. And now I am cleaning the gym since my sister got "fired". That pretty much occupies my time...I try to do some cardio at least 4 days a week and sometimes I do really well (bad weeks too) I have decided to start training again for powerlifting. I will compete in my first meet next Saturday! I haven't done a lot of training but it is my last chance to do a "practice"meet before September when we host a meet at our gym in Gilmer. My goal is to break some records and be like my dad haha! That sounds sooo cheesy, but I am excited. I really need a hobby...I think everyone needs a hobby. I used to dance and twirl, but I like to compete so this seems like a good thing to do.

mini-vacation summary
Erica came with me. And I was so surprised and happy that she did! We've had some issues lately and I have felt so awkward around her. It was nice to road trip with her and enjoy some time together. We drove to Waller, TX to see my cousin Mary. I haven't seen Mary since December and I was beyond excited to see her. Wednesday night we went to her friend's apartment and swam. We chatted and hung out and went home pretty late and crashed. Thursday we got up and went shopping. Of course we did, what girls weekend isnt full of shopping. We were so exhausted and hot but had a good time. Made dinner that night and watched some tv. Friday we hung out at the house until we had to leave. Erica and I left to meet my parents in Alvin that night to end our weekend with them. Saturday was the powerlifting meet and Sunday we drove home. So exciting right? We didn't do a lot but it was a long weekend and I was ready to crash last night.

results of the meet. Dad lifted again for the first time in a while and I was so happy! He tried to bench 601 pounds but missed the lift. He has been trying for a few years to do it and I guess he'll keep trying until he does! He trains two high school students who also competed in the meet. Brianna and QT. They both broke and set new records for Texas and even American records. They are both very dedicated powerlifters and great people. QT graduates this year and got recruited to play footbal for ETBU. Brianna will be a junior next year. I tell everyone they are my dad's adopted children! lol

I know this post is super boring...just wanted to share my weekend.

upcoming events...not a lot. summer is here and I plan on staying cool. It is so hot! I am doing that powerlifting meet next weekend and going to keep doing cardio to burn fat. That is pretty much it for me :) happy summer!!

up in the air

I love to blog. Even when I don't have much to say--so today is one of those days. I just feel like sharing some good energy vibes.

I am not too proud of my grades this semester, but it is entirely my fault. I blew off all my time and chose to sit around and have a few pity parties. I've been hitting this same rut for a while now and I finally seemed to pick myself up a little. I like when everything turns around--but I always get a little nervous that it won't stay good for too long. I've always considereed myself to be a "glass is half-full" kind of girl, but sometimes I have a BAD attitude. I guess it is just one of those things I need to work on.

I said I wanted to feed some good energy and I just complained some more--so typical! lol

I really am excited for my summer and everything I've been contemplating for the near future. I hope I'm able to share some good news soon. I am moving back home sometime this month...I will admit I am taking it slow though. I dont want to give up my church calling yet and I don't want to leave my Tyler singles. I also am not looking forward to driving to Tyler two to four times a week to babysit. I'm thinking about giving that up and finding a job close to home. All of my plans are in the air (and I know what you are thinking-they ALWAYS are) but this time feels different. Anyways-I'm off to watch some tv for a little while before the owners of the house I am "sitting" come back.
