Monday!! BIG DECISION REVEALED!

hey to all my lovely followers! 

So I thought today I would give an update from my weekend. Even though I am starting to feel like my weekends aren't weekends anymore. I work all weekend, and I work nights which makes it hard to enjoy things such as BBQ's, time with family and friends and Scott. I am not going to lie, I am a little depressed over this. (sorry I had to complain a little because I am feeling my summer isn't summer as of right now) 

Friday-----> I wasn't feeling very well, so I basically was a lazy bum all day. I got ready for work, and was hoping it would be a slamming night....not so much. I think due to the nice weather, it was slow. I had all my side work done by 10. We close at 10 haha, so needless to say I got home early, and seriously crashed out. Scott watched the hockey game with some buddies and went out. 

Saturday-----> After doing nothing productive Friday, I decided to sleep in a little bit, and I got up and decided to lay out on the deck. (with sunscreen of course) I was happy to say I have noticeable tan lines from my swimsuit! YAY! Well Saturday was a little bit better of a night. I was happy to say I actually walked out with some good tip money! YAY! 

Sunday----> Well I had to work earlier on Sunday then normal. I walked in and a girl I work with said I already had 3 tables. I had taken 10 tables with in an hour and a half. Usually Sunday nights are dead, but we got packed last night, and I had a section that is normally covered by 2 people to myself. It kinda kicked my butt, it was worth it. Walked out with full pockets! I am not going to lie, I let myself go get ice cream after that! 

Alright, so enough about my boring work weekend! Now time to reveal my big decision! So I have been talking in the past months how hard it has been for me to find a p.e. teaching job. Due to budget cuts and applicants being over 100 for each job, its hard. I started to feel like a failure because I couldn't find a job. So I did some thinking. And after talking with my parents (who are both in education) I decided to go back to school in August and pursue another endorsement! I am going to get a English endorsement and a health minor. P.E. is still my passion, but at least I have something else to fall back on and will be more marketable...hopefully! So what do you think???? Right decision? Also to add more to this decision I have decided to get my other endorsement at a different school. I have lived in this town before and loved it. Here is the big bonus....its where Scott goes to school too! So that means....NO MORE DISTANCE! I have decided to get my own place, and found out I got the apartment I wanted! So to my sweet blogging friends whose opinions do matter to me...I would love to know what you think about my big decision?!!??? 

Anways I hope you are all having a wonderful Monday! 

Ps.....Friday is my 25th bday....duh duh duh..... still mixed feelings about this...

Friday Confessional (Very Lucky Day)

Happy Friday to all! I am linking up for Friday Confessional. :)


I confess that exactly one year ago today, I was in an extremely bad car wreck. It was flooding really bad around here last year (it is again this year) but I was in a wedding in Nebraska. Well the drive was about 8 hours, so I decided after I got off work I would drive 4 hours to my mom's, and then get up in the morning and drive the rest of the way. I kept having a bad feeling and even told Scott I did, but he told me everything was ok. Well it was about 9:30 at night and I was only 8 miles from my mom's town. I was going only about 45 mph because the speed limit was 55 and it was raining. Well I came over the top of a hill and saw that the canal had over flown and was about a foot deep across the road. I had no time to hit my break. I knew then it was going to be bad. I hydroplaned, and when my car hit the dry pavement it flipped my car 5 times before stopping. I was conscious during the entire thing, and as soon as my car hydroplaned I let go of the wheel and covered my head because I looked up and saw my sunroof coming at me. I kicked myself out of the car. I somehow found my phone in the field, and called my parents. I went into shock after that. I walked away with only glass in my head and hands, and some bad bruising. I was told that I shouldn't even be alive, so to walk away unharmed is a miracle. I know someone upstairs was looking out for me. I confess I am so THANKFUL to be alive. Here is my wreck pictures below. I have never posted them before, so this is a first. 




 I confess that I wish could just sleep this entire day and didn't have to work all weekend, but I am thankful for the summer job.

I confess that I am so glad I found the blogging world! Some of you ladies are becoming friends and I am so glad I am getting to know you better not through just blogging, but also emails! Its a great world and love it!

I confess that I am constantly worrying that people are mad at me. I always am worried about making someone upset, and that people don't like me! I am trying not to be so worried, but struggling with it! 

I confess I am having bittersweet feelings about my birthday next Friday. I turn 25 and not going to lie at times my life isn't exactly where I thought it would be at 25. 



I confess that I am the happiest in my relationship that I have ever been! I am one lucky girl. 



Happy Friday
