I Love Me Some Extra Rolls

You know the phrase "today is the first day of the rest of your life". I dont know who came up with that but it goes along with other phrases such as " Today isn't too late to be brand new" and "seize the day" (aka: carpe dium for all those latin buffs). but sometimes its easy to get stuck in all the stress and hooplah of life. Though today i woke up feeling rejuvinated for some reason and took all those phrases to heart.

i think some of it had to do with me and eric's (my bf) conversation last night. We have hit a point in our relationship where things got bad, and now we are trying to start over. I guess not really go backwords, but rediscover why exactly we love eachother, and move forward with that.

so anyways.... since today was my day off i slept in till like 10, i got my self some breakfast and caught up on my reality shows. (yes, im in love with most all corny mtv/ tlc reality shows that most everyone else hates lol). then after that i did my P90X. Today i did yoga x which is one of the easier workouts. Its very relaxing but its still works you pretty hard. While i was doing downward dog....

 

This is downward dog. This is not me.

so anyways, while i was doing this i couldnt help but look at my fat and flabby stomach and i thought to myself  "gosh things have changed since highschool." In highschool i had a flat stomach, sometimes with nice subtle abs to go along. i was never skinny or petite. its just not the way i was made. i was always a thick girl to be honest. But being on three different soccer teams, was working out hard everyday, an eating a lot less than i am now kept that in check. Not to mention my metabolism was rockin. now things are a bit different.

But in the middle of my pity party i told myself  "STOP!" i didnt need to be thinking those things. i mean look at my life. I have a wonderful boyfriend and awesome friends who love me dearly eventhough i may have gained a couple new rolls.

thats the thing people.... its doesnt matter what body God has blessed you with. you may be small and petite or a bit bigger boned. It doesnt matter, every girl is beautiful and sexy in her own way. Some bigger girls complain that its so hard to shop because stores to sell clothes for their body type. i say NO MA'AM! not true. one of my best friends in highschool named meahgan was one of those bigger girls. That was the body she was delt. But she didnt let that stop her from looking absolutly HOT everyday. She is a raw example of a girl that can be big AND be sexy. to this day she is prolly the best dressed friend ive ever had. The trick is buying clothes that fit YOU!! not the super models on magazine covers. they have their clothes and you have yours. God made ua all very different, but he did make us all very beautiful too. That goes for you too boys!

so i guess my point is today is to love yourself, no matter what you look like. <3

Some Little Things About Me

hey all
Today has been one of those extremely lazy sundays (my favorite ;). All that ive done today is go to church, eat breakfast, and then sleep. lol. Right now i decided it was a god time to make my second post as my dad is busy making a delicious quasadilla for me. YUM!! i thought this would be a good time to say a couple things about me.
~~~
im in college.....sorta. Well i used to be. im taking a semester off right now, for some personal reasons. I used to be a secondary education major with a concentration in mathematics. For all of you who arent familiar with college advisory jargon, that means i want to be a highschool math teacher. Teaching has always been something that has been in the back of my mind as something i might want to do. it was always a backup plan for other dreams like being an astro-biologist, a neurologist, and president. lol. Turns out i hate science and dont really get politics, and i liked math so my path was clear by the time i got into college. im taking this time off for personal reasons that i may or may not get into later on. But i am using this time to do a volunteer teaching gig at a local private school. im getting great experience and im falling in love with all my kids. im getting really excited to get in front of my very own classroom one day.
~~~
My parents are still together. and they have been madly in love with eachother for going on 22 years now. they are eachothers best friends and are good role models as a relationship that is so strong that can get through any hardship. my younger brother who is almost 16 is a sophmore and is definitely in his angsty teenage years. nevertheless he is still the comedian of the family and is growing up to be a wonderfully kind person. Then there is me....20 years old, severe OCD, and just trying to get through the dark days that God sometimes likes to throw at you.
~~~
My friends are amazing. one of my best friends allison actually turned me on to blogging. msallisonelizabeth.....go look her up, she is amazingly cool. im one of those people who gets along with pretty much anyone who is nice, but just has a few close friends that i keep close to my heart. Allison, Sarah, Margaret, Lauren, and good ol' Joey Earl. They have been with me and by my side through good times and bad. Over the years, ive learned that thats what makes a good friend. Someone thats not only good to party with or is a blast in a glass (yes thats a jersey shore reference. te he). But they are on your side when they need to be, they listen when you need someone to listen, and they offer their shoulder when you need to cry. All these people have done that for me. and i love them for it.

i have a boyfriend who is named eric. i love him and care about him very much. He has saved my life in more than one way. I hope that we can be together for a long time. there will prolly be more about him later.

wow thats a lot of info all at one time. but like all people, it takes a lot to get to know someone through and through. i will do my best to be completly honest here, unless its too personal. But i hope you guys have a better idea of who i am.
my quesadillas have ranch in them, and they are delicious. (ILTTC)

Hello from me!

Hey all,
so i never thought much about doing a blog. I never thought my life was interesting enough to write about. my life is about the same as everyone elses. Ive gone through pretty much the same trials; fights, bad report cards, break ups, broken bones, lots of tears. and ive been through the same accomplishments. There is nothing extrodinary about me or significantly special about me........from the outside. My dad always said to enjoy the little things. I think that needs to be applied to your own life as well. Everyone is different because of the very tiny details of our being. So im here to share my special little things to anyone who wishes to read about them. And hey, maybe someone will be able to relate to an experience or a trial i've gone through. Maybe ill help someone with some trouble or trial that they have. I hope so. But who knows. Im looking at this as the start of an adventure. everyday is the start of a new journey. Although i dont know where my journey will take me, at least im walking ;)
For all who care, i leave you with this......It's the little things in life that count.
