I LOVE Three Day Weekends!

Hope y'all had a wonderful weekend! I ♥ three day weekends. Friday night we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner and then went to the movies to see New Year's Eve. I dozed in and out during the movie....I felt kinda bad. I'm glad it wasn't our first date! Haha! : ) Next time, I know not to go to a 10:00 p.m. showing after working all week!

Friday afternoon we had our first weigh in at school for our Biggest Loser competition! I have been pretty good about working out and eating healthy this past week.  I have lost THREE pounds since last weekend! I haven't done too good this weekend so I hope I haven't gained it all back. I'm going to try to go to the gym everyday this week! We weigh in again this coming Friday. Hopefully, I will have lost a couple more pounds by then!

This afternoon we watched the Houston Texans playoff game against the Ravens! Kyle is a HUGE Texans fan. I'm more of a college football fan but I have had fun watching the Texans in the playoffs! : ) Houston ended up losing today but they have had a good season! It was the first time for them to ever be in the playoffs.

I'm at my parents house tonight because tomorrow I'm meeting with a principal at an elementary school nearby. She has offered to help me with my interviewing skills and talk with me about my future career plans. I thought that was really nice of her. : ) I will let you know how it goes!

Have a great Monday!!

Back to School, Biggest Loser, and Aggie Bachelorette!

The first two days back haven't been too bad! We asked the kids if they missed us over break and one little girl shook her head and said "no". Haha!

Today, after work, I joined the gym! I'm excited to start working out again. I would love to lose some weight before summer. It was kinda ironic because this afternoon I found out that the school I work at is starting a Biggest Loser competition this coming Friday. We will weigh in every Friday for eight weeks and whoever loses the most weight (percentage-wise) wins! Good motivation to workout everyday!

Did y'all watch Bachelor last night? I think it is kinda corny this season! I liked Kacie B. who went on the first one on one date with Ben. I thought she was sweet! However, I did not like the girl he picked on his second one on one! What do y'all think about Blakeley and Jenna? I started cracking up when I found out Jenna was a professional blogger. I really do not like either of them! I'm glad Jenna got kicked off!

Also, I found out last night that one of the girls, Nicki, is an A&M graduate. She is a dental hygienist from Hurst, TX. Maybe Ben will fall in love with an Aggie!

Break is OVER, Getting Healthy, and a Question for You!

Well...this coming Monday I go back to work. :( Most school districts went back last Monday but since we did not have a week off for Thanksgiving and had to go the Monday/Tuesday before Christmas they gave us this week off too! I have had a good break! I'm not sure if I'm ready to go back but it will be nice to get back into a routine  I have loved not having to get up at 6:15 every morning! I have been busy cleaning my apartment and taking all my Christmas decorations down. Taking decorations down is not as fun as putting them up!

I have decided that I want to start eating healthier and working out. I planned out all my meals for this next week. I figured that might make it easier when I go to the grocery store. Usually, when I go to the store I walk around not knowing what to buy! Haha! I also plan on joining a gym sometime this next week. I would love to lose 20-25 lbs before the summer! So wish me luck!

I really want to buy a new comforter set for my bedroom. My dad painted my old dresser a bluish color a few months ago and I'm really wanting to find a bedspread with some blue in it. I found a really good deal on this comforter on Amazon........

I love this comforter but does it match the dresser at all? I'm not sure if it does. I'm thinking the comforter is a lighter blue. I could always re-paint the dresser black.

  What do you think?!

Thanks for your help! Have a great Saturday!

Casino Trip to Lake Charles!!!

This week we have been in Louisiana at the Casino! Wednesday morning, me, my dad, and Kyle left for Lake Charles. My mom drove up later that day when she got off work.We stayed at the L'Auberge du Lac Wednesday and Thursday night. I always like playing the slot machines and craps whenever I go. However, this time I got into Roulette! I had fun but came home with NO money! Kyle won though! :/ Hope y'all have a great weekend! Here are some pictures of our trip.....
