~Spring Fever~

Spring break came and gone... I didn't do anything major and I am so okay with it. It was nice to be home and not have to worry about anything. I started it off with my birthday and it was pretty great! My family and best friends made it so special for me. I went shopping with Gretchen my sis in law on Monday. I got my hair done FINALLY on Tuesday. I really like the girl who did it. I am definitely going back. I got to spend the day with Ashlie and Barrett on Wednesday. Drew and I went to Nashville and ate lunch with Dad and Katie on Thursday. We also we to the mall. On Friday I had Franz to myself all day. :) We just ran errands and did not so fun stuff but it was with him so thats all that matters. Over all spring break was great! 
Spring is here and the weather hasn't been the greatest but those few beautiful days have been wonderful. Pretty and warm weather just makes me in a good mood. I just want to be outside and soak up every minute of it. I can definitely tell my students have spring fever too. They are acting kinda crazy. lol. Who wants to be couped up inside when the weather is getting warmer and the sun is shining?! I know its only going to get worse! 


So on another note, I talked to my Aunt Connie who lives in San Diego. We are discussing plans for Franz and I to visit this summer. We have been talking about it for a few years now and I am super excited. This is Franz and I's last trip just us before we start adding additions to our little family. (Franz, me, and our pups) lol.  
My summer is looking full already. School has asked to me to do several things this summer and then our trip to Cali. Not to mention my little brother is getting married. So much going on! I LOVE IT! 


Life is great and I have nothing to complain about. That's a first. haha

4 days...

4 days until my 26th birthday. It's kinda crazy to think how old I am and where I am at in my life. I am finally done with school and teaching second grade at Arlington Elementary. I thought I would never be done but I was determined to get through it and it definitely paid off. Thinking back to last year on my  birthday I remember being really down about myself. I was finishing up school but was reminded that I was 25 and still in College. I was down about my weight and still haven't gotten to where I would like to be. It wasn't until October that I was able to go to the doctor and find out that my thyroid is under-active and hindering me from losing the weight. I am finally motivated to eat healthy and exercise more. I really want to be at a healthy weight and be comfortable with myself again. 
A lot has happened in the past year. It seems like my life has changed a lot and in a lot ways it has. Besides graduating and getting a teaching job, Franz and I have decided that we are going to start trying to have a baby in the near future. Which is why I want to lose my weight now because if I don't it will be so hard to lose even more weight after having a baby. Franz and I have been making an effort to make time for each other. We have been taking long walks at the park which allows us to talk and connect like we used to. We also have been visiting churches and looking for one that we can join. We are doing so good and I am so thankful for him and our marriage. Life is getting better everyday and I have God, my family, friends, and my wonderful husband to thank for that. I can only hope that my life only gets better each year!
