March Update

Hello again! Thought I abandon yall again? Nope, just been living life. March was a busy month and it went by quickly. The major events were Spring Break, St. Paddy's Parade, and the Color Me Rad.

Spring Break

I packed my bags and took off for north MS. It was so great to enjoy some time at my parents house. I got to love and play with my youngest niece. She loves singing for the camera. I captured her singing when we were out for dinner.

After a few days in Corinth, I headed down to Mantachie to spend a few days with the best friend and her baby, Parker. I loved getting to play with Parker. He has started making a duck face. I finally caught it on my last day there. 

Here is another picture, just for fun! 

I enjoyed both my visit to north MS. I can't wait til we move closer. I hope it is soon!


Color Me Rad

If you remember, I ran the race last year too. You can find that post here. The weather was perfect. We had a blast. Didn't do a lot of running this year, but that didn't matter.

Ran into a hometown friend during the race. We stopped and took a picture.

Here are a few more pictures.

St. Paddy's Day Parade

This was my second year to fully experience the parade. You can read about last years here. We arrived at the tailgating area around 9 am. The Parade didn't start til 2. We had a blast hanging out with friends before the parade started. The weather was perfect. Partly cloudy with highs near 60. This year I did not burn! Woo hoo!

It is always a good time to meet up with friends and just relaxed. Missed Nathan this year. Stupid tax season!

That basically sums up my March.

Oh! One thing is for sure. I sure didn't get to see Nathan as much as I wanted to. I have loved taking him dinner to his office. It is about the only time we get to eat together. One day when I was there, I snapped this picture for SnapChat. Isn't he cute with his glasses on and working hard?

February Update

February was a busy month! A wedding, Valentine's Day, and my Birthday!

Jon and Courtney's Wedding

Jon is my oldest friends. We have been friends since we were in diapers and unable to crawl. I am so happy that he has found his soulmate! Courtney is absolutely perfect for Jon and his crazy personality. Their wedding had such a special touch to it. It was so beautiful. The reception was amazing too! Lots of great food and desserts.

Valentine's Day

This year I decided to do 14 days of Valentines for Nathan. I am just going post pictures of what I did. Can't remember each day. Ha

Besides the 14 happies, I got a dozen chocolate cover strawberries and a personalized tie clip for Etsy. I will add the information about it later. :) Nathan sent me roses to school! We also went to dinner at Shapley's. I love their steaks and stuffed shrimp! I need to get better at taking pictures of us out.

Birthday!!!

Can't believe I turned 28 this year! When I was younger, I always thought I would be married with several kids by this age. My life might not be what I was expecting, but I wouldn't change it for anything. I have an amazing boyfriend, a job I love, and some really great friends!

My parents met me in Starkville for an early birthday lunch the Sunday before my birthday. Nathan couldn't come. Stupid tax season. :(  We enjoyed a great lunch at Little Dooey's, a walk around campus, and doing a little shopping. My parents gave me a tablet and bought me some things at the bookstore!

Nathan and I went out to eat for my birthday. Nathan gave me the Dancing with the Stars Ronaldo bracelet. I LOVE it!

The third one!

The day of my birthday, I got together with some friends at one of my favorite restaurants in Jackson, Keifers. 

Need to take more pictures!

Over all, February was a pretty great month!

Yikes!

I am apparently the worst blogger! It has been almost 3 months since I have last blogged. So much has happened since then.

To get back in the swing of blogging, I will write a monthly recap of the happenings in my life.  Enjoy!

January

24 Day Challenge

I finished my 24 Day Challenge with 5 pounds and several inches gone. The first 10 days were the easiest for me. I did not like taking all those pills the last 14 days. I am not currently taking the MNX pills, but I am still drinking my Spark and taking my Catalyst (helps with muscle retention)  everyday. I am planning on doing the 10 day cleanse again soon. Wish I would have taken before and after pictures.

Rallying for a Pay Raise

On Martin Luther King Day, teachers across the state met at the State Capital to rally for a pay raise. Unfortunately, we did not get the $5000 across the board pay raise we were wanting. But, we did get a $2500 raise over 2 years.

Mississippi Snow Day

Every teacher loves a snow day until we have to make it up! We got two days off in January for snow. The weather guys forcasted it for days, but I honestly did not believe we would get any snow. Boy! Was I wrong!

I am sure I am forgetting a few important events in January. Oh well! :)

Maybe I will get February's highlights before 2015. Ha
