Tribute and a confession....

Last night one of the saddest announcements for me was made.

My role model, hero, and favorite coach stepped down.

Pat Summitt you are truly amazing. 

No words can really explain what an impact you have made on women's basketball.

Pat Summitt was diagnosed last year with early onset dementia.

She coached one more year, and last night decided to step down as the Tennessee Vols Coach.

She has one 8 titles, and is the NCAA's most winningest coach...this includes over the men.

She won 1098 games! 

At 14 I read her book, "Reach for the Summitt" 

It's even autographed by Chamique Holdsclaw! 

If you want an amazing read, read her book..

This is a video clip that you should watch! I cried!

Now onto my confession. 

I am beyond frustrated today...with a lot of things, so please just pray that I can get through the frustration! 

I don't like to be negative, so its hard for me to feel this upset and frustrated!

I hope everyone has a amazing Thursday!

Baseball

So growing up, my real dad never let me play baseball or softball growing up.

Long story, but I always watched, and enjoyed. 

Scott last year took me to my first MLB game. 

It was sooooooo AWESOME.

Growing up my pop-e has always loved the Chicago Cubs. He is 87 and has loved them since he was 13.

So of course I am a Cubs fan, but also do like the Rockies since they are close to us. 

I thought I would share the pics because I would love to be in a stadium with it being super hot, drinking a cold beer, eating a hot dog, and loving the atmosphere around me! 

Scott and his mom

But of course I love the Chicago Cubs, so I do wish I could go to Wrigley Field! 

And I had to laugh so hard when I saw this commercial!

Who is your favorite team???

Weekend...

Well this was a very quiet weekend. 

Friday, I had to giggle because I never see Scott before he goes to school.

I am always up before him.

Well I was outside with Milli, and he gets out of his yukon, and he has his "Atlanta Braves" shirt on,

and I look down, and I have my "Chicago Cubs" shirt on...

We tend to match a lot by accident 

We just watched baseball and had a few beers that evening.

Other than that it was a really raining weekend

I basically did homework and ate massive amounts of fresh fruit.

Oh, I almost forgot! My friend Haylee got a scooter. Yes...we rode around. I haven't laughed that hard in so long!

Scott and I just snuggled in yesterday, but we did go see American Reunion.

It was pretty funny, but not my favorite of the 4 movies.

I hope everyone had a great weekend! 

Frustrations and Motivation?!

So as you know, I have been working out and dieting trying to lose some weight.

First of my frustration:

I have only lost 1 lb.

UGHHGHGH! 

I am watching what I eat, how much I eat, and so on...so hopefully this pays off soon.

Motivation: 

So I decided maybe my Jillian's workouts aren't enough.

I am back to running.

I was a distance runner in high school, and continued after.

As I have aged, my athletic years have started to catch up with me...but I am trying to power through!!!

I ran today, and I am hurting, but I am going to keep it up!
I saw this, and it made me happy!

So now, I ask you...any motivational things????

Videos...words of wisdom? I am sucker for these, and for me they actually work, because I repeat them when I dying in my workout!

Jamie's link up

hey everyone! I'm linking up with Jamie today.

It's been a good morning so far, except Milli and I have been arguing all morning. She thinks it's necessary to sit where I am working on homework, and also chew her bones on the couch. Nope Milli. 

Anyways onto my loves...

loving my breakfast this morning.

fresh strawberries and raspberries and a cup a coffee.

loving that I got to see girls from college last week!

loving my guy. I know this sounds so typical and corny, but do you ever have those moments where you just think, "wow, I am so lucky, I love him so much" I have had a lot of those lately.

He is my best friend, and even though we fight sometimes, I can't imagine my life with out him. 

loving the movie "We Bought a Zoo" watched it over Easter..so good!

loved this quote from it: "You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it."

loving my iPad so far!!! 

(any tips or tricks I should know?)

I hope you all have a great Wednesday! 

Easter Weekend!

Hello everyone!

I am back from a nice Easter weekend!

We spent the Easter at pop-e's house, so nice to see family! 

Milli on the drive!

Milli got lots of treats for Easter!

My egg for Milli

Yes, my mommy still makes us baskets!

Everyone for Easter breakfast!

I also may have beyond spoiled myself.... I bought an iPad...

I wore myself out playing with it....so I took a nap and had a great foot warmer

I also got a great picture of my god daughter on Easter! 

Later that day we went out to my aunt's house, and she found her old prom dresses.

I tried on her prom dress from her senior year in 1968! 

Overall it was a good weekend, but I am happy to be in my own space again!!!

Girls night!

So I am pretty excited! 

Two of my good college friends are going to be in the area tonight!

I am going to head over to Deadwood and have a girl's night!

(Which I rarely get)

I get to see my sweet friend Amy, who I graduated college with!

I also get to see my sweet good friend Haylei!

We worked together in college and have remained wonderful friends!

So I'm off to get ready! can you tell I'm a little excited?

Happy Tuesday! 

Weekend

Well even though I had to train, I had one great weekend!

Friday-

I got done with class, and came home and cleaned up the house.

I told Scott we should go grab a drink since it was Friday....

So we decided to go downtown, it was so much fun!

We played pool, ended up eating downtown, and seeing lots of friends!

I was really happy! I had a great time with Scott!!

Saturday-

I had to train at 8:30-BOO!

But luckily I was done around noon. 

I came home, and showered, I decided to make homemade salsa.

So good!

Recipe:

2 Cans of Hunts Whole Tomatoes

Cilantro

5-6 Jalapenos 

Chili Powder

Garlic Salt

1 Lime

1/2 white onion

Salt 

You add to a blender, and you can add all the ingredients pretty much to taste, so if you like it hotter, add more chili powder!

I love it because I hate chunky salsa, so this is perfect!

After that, I started to watch one of the final four games with Scott...fell asleep for 2 hours!

We then went to Deadwood and gambled for a couple hours. 

We didn't win much, but had a good time.

Sunday-

I had a coffee date (over the phone) with my mom.

Rand some errands, and then had training.

I made an old family German recipe, called Watermelon Noodles.

Sounds nasty, but its one of my favorites!

Watched tv with my loves, and went to bed!

Overall I wonderful weekend!
