Reality Check

I was recently chatting with a few of my fellow classmates (3 girls ages: 22, 23, 23) as school.  We were talking about some of our favorite TV shows and it was brought to my attention that either I watch too much TV or they just don't watch enough TV.  In my own head, I am actually going for option #3........I'm just way cooler than they are.


This may be a shocker, but they didn't know who the Kardashian's were and had NEVER watched any of The Real Housewives (any season).  Lastly, they had never watched or heard of Bethenny Frankel!!!  Mind you this is only a very short list of TV stars they had never heard of or seen.  It took my breath!  Do they live in a hole??  (Yes, I did ask them this).  This is just astonishing to me!  How could this be?  I mean honestly, both of my brother-in-laws (both in the mid-late 30's) know who all of the above and then sooooo much more.  Sad on the B-I-L's part?  No, I say.  Sad on the 22 year old girls part..........she should know better.

Is anybody else.....

in mourning that summer is over??  I really didn't want summer to be over and start back to school and after the first full week of school I REALLY REALLY don't want summer to be over.  I will be working on my new attitude this weekend and hopefully have a fresh start on Monday.  Fingers crossed!!!

Slacker.....Huge Slacker

I am really bad at this whole blogging thing! One day I promise I will be better, but I also say that one day I will be done with school and be a real person again.  I still haven't figured out when that one day will be.........so I guess don't take that promise too seriously.  So there.....

I was browsing some blogs on the internet and I found something interesting, so I think I'll be a copy cat.

It's been 3 years......Really???

I really can't believe that I have been married to my best friend for three years now! I know this is extremely cliche, but it really does seem like only yesterday that we were getting engaged much less married. This is one of my favorite pictures from the wedding!


So, Happy Anniversary to my husband of three years and best friend of six!!! March 24, 2007 was the best day of my life. Man, I am full of cliches.

Coach Morgan

I don't know if any of you remember this post, Proud Wife/"That" Wife, but Ashley was at it again this year. He coached two teams again, a 9-10 year old and a 11-12 year old team. The younger team did well this year, but they were all really young and have a lot to learn. The older team ended up being the regular season champions and runner-up in the playoff tournament. So that means, like last year he will be coaching the YMCA All-Star team and going to Anderson, SC, to the All-Star tournament. Some of you may remember this post, All-Star Weekend Recap. I can't tell you how proud I am of Ashley. He puts his heart and soul into coaching these kids and takes it very seriously.

I will have to say that I did very well this year in controlling myself at the games. I only got frustrated one time at a lady that was yelling at Ashley. I can yell at him, but nobody else can.

Dear Spring,

I have decided it is time for you to come back home. I know your homecoming day is not until March 20th, but what would hurt to come home a month early?? I mean really, my spring break is coming up in a couple of weeks and I would really like for it to live up to its name. Can we work on this?
Please and thank you!
Your long lost cold friend,
B

It's that time again

School is back in session for the spring semester and although I am not thrilled to have to drive to Columbia, I know I will really enjoy this semester. I will actually be learning things that I will use for the rest of my career. I have a much better schedule this semester, no school on Fridays and no 8am classes!!!! This will hopefully mean that I will still have time to keep things updated on the blog, I'll do my best!
