Lots of Love

Welcome friends. It's...

I am loving that it's almost spring which means SPRING DRESSES!!! WOOTWOOT! Dresses and sandals and pure happiness!!!

I'm loving that next week is spring break!! WOOTWOOT! I will be done Friday afternoon and on my way back to WV! Not going anywhere exciting but so excited to be home for awhile!

I'm loving that while on Spring Break I will get to hang out with my mom!! I miss her so much. Last time I was home she was out of town so I really haven't gotten to see her much since I came back from Christmas. So excited for some Mom and Daughter time!

I'm loving that I got to sleep in this morning!! Could still be sleeping but I have a dog with a small bladder.

I'm loving you all of course too!

Rude.

My sole purpose in blogging right now is to tell Gina she is RUDE. Next time I see you I'm not even bringing my phone. And in the words of the profound Gretchen Weiners (think Mean Girls/ her dad created the toaster strudel) "I'm sorry that people are jealous of me but I can't help it that I'm so... Popular!!" :) haha kidding.

Also, just thinking about you all and missing you terribly. The past few weeks in school have been hell. Really, no other way to put it. So I could really use: a Sonic run to get a Cherry Limeaid/ a mom walk/a roommate hall talk/ a night of google earthing people's houses/a One Tree Hill. The OC. Grey's marathon/ whatever other thing we did to avoid the reality that is school. Because all those things are fun and well....school is not. So instead of those fun things I'll take a prozac and get back to work.

Lastly, a joke that I thought was real funny.

Two women friends had gone out for a Girls Night Out, and had been decidedly over-enthusiastic on the cocktails. Incredibly drunk and walking home they suddenly realized they both needed to pee. They were very near a graveyard and one of them suggested they do their business behind a headstone or something. The first woman had nothing to wipe with so she took off her panties, used them and threw them away. Her friend however was wearing an expensive underwear set and didn't want to ruin hers, but was lucky enough to salvage a large ribbon from a wreath that was on a grave and proceeded to wipe herself with it. After finishing, they made their way home.

The next day the first woman's husband phones the other husband and said, "These damn girls nights out have got to stop. My wife came home last night without her panties." "That's nothing," said the other. "Mine came back with a sympathy card stuck between the cheeks of her butt that said, 'From all of us at the Fire Station, Well never forget you!'

What I am LOVING right now!!!!!!!!

Oh my gosh I am officially obsessed with my new phone! I mean who knew a smart phone could be so much fun! So I got the new HTC phone from AT&T the other night because my old phone was a POS and I would never have service and basically it had seen its better days. It is freaking amazing and I have been on it nonstop, so anytime I gave any of you a hard time for being on your phone (aka Lindsay) I'm sorry because this thing is the best thing since the iPod came out! Here are just a few of the things I love about it:
1. Pandora- I have been listening to all Darius all the time!
2. The flashlight on the back, A-MAZING! I mean if anyone comes after me I can just flash that baby in there eyes and I they're done
3. Words with Friends. Enough said.
4.The internet that I can now surf whenever I want!
5. Books. Yes that's right I can read books on it!

Okay so I know that the iPhone does many of these things and more but I am just experiencing all of this for the first time and I'm freaking out a little! Who knew a little device could do so much? Well clearly I've been missing out and I am not ashamed to say that I am addicted to my cell phone!
I am also loving this beautiful Colorado weather! It has been in the mid 60s all week and last week was pretty much the same. I haven't been able to enjoy it because for those of you I haven't told I broke my toe my last day in Israel and haven't really been able to do any physical activity since. And no, it's not a cool story like I got stepped on by a camel, but instead it is a typical Gina story...I tripped over my suitcase while packing and broke it. Anyways I have been sitting around and eating for the past 3 weeks because if I can't workout then naturally eating seems like the better option. But now my poor little toe is finally healed and I have been able to run outside which has been wonderful, but unfortunately the eating hasn't stopped haha but at least now I am doing something to cancel it out!
I know that I still haven't posted about my Israel trip and I am sorry about that. Here is a short overview....

I can't even put into words how amazing the trip was. I will admit that going into it I was a little skeptical because I was afraid I wouldn't make any friends. Not only did I make some amazing friends, but I never expected to feel so connected to Israel and Judaism. We started in the north of Israel by the Sea of Galilee and ended in Tel Aviv. I learned so much about the situation in the Middle East and just about the history of Israel in general. Unfortunately I did not find my Jewish husband, but there was a make out session the last night on the beach so that was a good way to end the trip haha( ps. I am totally blushing right now). I actually felt so connected to Israel that there is a strong possibility I might move there for 5 months next year! Crazy I know, but why not? I will post pictures at some point but you all know how I am with posting pictures so they probably will not go up for a while haha. Love you and miss you all terribly!

I might...

1. I might not be feeling WILW today.

2. I might have laryngitis again for the 39028392983 time this year.

3. I might have had like 5 crying 1st graders today. Ugh. SO whiny. Is it a full moon?

4. I might be done with my second cycle of KTIP Friday and only have one more... if I could just make myself do this dumb reflection.

5. I might be glad I have PD all day tomorrow and I won't be at school (see 2 and 3.)

6. I might be concerned that one of my BFFs used "Beiber Fever" and "Gleek" in the same post.

7. I might be jealous that the parentals are going to Arizona to see the grandparentals Friday.

8. I might be getting slightly annoyed my boyfriend won't pop the question.

9. I might have a new favorite movie. Go see "Just Go With It." Soooooo good!

10. I might need some motivation to do anything tonight.

11. I might be the girlfriend of a home owner hopefully one day soon.Brent made an offer on a house in the county and they didn't take it. The I found this house we both really like. It is in town...I am shocked!!! Built in the 40's with sooo much character =) I loooove it! Brent and I went to see it with a realtor Monday and took his mom and my parents last night. I'll take you on a tour...

Isn't it cute?!

Kitchen...obvs.

Ok I guess I don't need to tell you what all the rooms are...you all are smart girls....

12. I might be missing my BFFs a lot!

Happy Hump Day! The number of things I'm loving this week is outrageous, but I will try to narrow it down! :)I'm loving this weather forecast! I'm not sure about you, but I'm about sick of getting frostbite everytime I walk outside. 68 degrees tomorrow? Yes PLEASE! Loving it! Spring will be here before we know it!!
I'm loving this not so little brown dog. I've recently realized that Manny HATES when people have on socks. I guess it's because I don't usually wear them, so he thinks it's weird or something when I have them on. Who knows! Anyway when I have them on he tries to pull them off. He did it to my brother too. These pictures are from the other day when he tried to pull them off my feet for about 30 minutes. It was hilarious.
I'm loving...yes, I'm going to say it...Justin Bieber. I have a fever and the only prescription is more Bieber. It's a problem and I'm also a little jealous of this perfect hair awesome dance moves. When he was on the Grammy's I found myself with a cheesy grin on my face the whole time. He's SO good! And if you need convincing well then watch this....

I'm loving Glee! I have become a total Gleek. I don't know if y'all watch it but I think you would love it too. It's funny, got some cuties (google Cord Overstreet ow owww), great songs, fun dancing and is just all around entertainment. :)

and this is just because this song can always make you in a good mood...

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week! :)

That's What I Love about Wednesdays...

I am loving that when you hang out with 6 year olds, you can make a big deal out of anything whether it be the 100th day of school (which is next Wednesday and they are wayyy excited already) or Groundhogs Day.

How cute are they?

I am loving my dog(s). I went to tell my mom I had a snow day last Friday and found Bentley like this...

(That lump on the right is my momma.)

Brent and I took Bentley and our love child on a walk Sunday. They are BFFs. Love em.

I am embarrassed to say....I am loving reality TV. Have you all watched the new American Idol? I love Steven Tyler! Oh...and my guiltiest pleasure...

Leah and Corey are my faves. They are from WV so I feel connected to them.

I am loving a good deal/sale. I spent over $100 on the J Crew Factory Outlet website and got it for $21 (shipping included). I especially love gift cards and 60% deals.

I am LOVING our plans for a reunion in T minus 30 days!! Let's plan something super exciting this summer that Gina can come to!

I am loving this video I found on my computer. I LOLed. Listen to Amanda in the background.

I'm loving that this week is halfway over and we all know what that means...

I'm loving that the silly little groundhog DID NOT see his shadow!! WOOHOO! An early spring. (I only choose to believe in Groundhog day when he doesn't see his shadow!)
I'm loving this spring outfit!! The Groundhog is getting me more than ready to trade in my sweaters for some sandals! I love this shirt (that buttons down the back), the shorts, and the sandals! Bring on the sunshine!

I'm loving what a wonderful weekend I had with TJ here! We had so much fun and didn't really do anything spectacular...just hung out! But it was really good to see him and get to kiss and cuddle with him spend some time together.

I'm loving this video for many reasons...

1. I'm loving that we get to have a girls' weekend seeing him sing this song and manyothers. (Though I am NOT loving that Gina won't be able to join us!!!)
2. I'm loving that Carrie Underwood nudges Jeff Gordan because he forgets to announce Kelly Clarkson.
3. I'm loving this song!!
4. I'm loving Kelly's pink earplugs! Gotta preserve that hearing and why not wear pink while doing it!
5. I'm loving that Kelly Clarkson doesn't weigh 90 lbs like everyone else in Hollywood and she still rocks out!

That's what I'm loving. What about you...
