weekend recap

This weekend was the last of my spring break, so I tried to use it wisely. With that being said I guess I should fess up to the fact that I spent a lot of it hanging out with friends, baking up a storm, had a joint garage and bake sale with friends, and tried really hard to catch up on schoolwork and lesson plans. Still though, an awesome weekend with some awesome friends. :)



Thursday Rod, Ashley and I went for some food, drinks, and catching up. :)







Friday and Saturday Jenn, Joe, Steven and I spent time preparing for our garage sale. And Jenn and I spent hours baking. I LOVED it. I tried a new recipe (chocolate muffins) and an old-ish one (cinnamon cookies).
There was way too much amazing food....brownies (2 kinds), cinnamon cookies (2 kinds), sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate muffins, strawberry cupcakes, chocolate cake, and carrot cake. YUM. My sister helped make some food too and we kinda snacked on the leftovers all day. But hey...it all went to an awesome cause!

My sister and her kiddos even came out to help. Gia loved the big dog the best. Too adorable.


Then of course I spent the rest of my time on schoolwork and lesson planning. I even got to enjoy the porch some while doing it. I love it out there now that I have redecorated it some.

Hope you had an awesome weekend too!
Now back to studying for Friday (HUGE exam) and listening to my roommates and friends play Call of Duty...oh the life. :)

i am so grateful

Today I got to talk to my best friend Leigh twice. I cannot even begin to explain how happy this makes me. It's funny to think that a little over a year ago we were roommates and hung out all the time....and now if we get to talk once a month I consider myself lucky. This lady is by far one of the best people I know and I miss her so very much.
Getting to talk to her first thing this morning and skype tonight made me start thinking about all the good stuff in my life. She does that....she always helps bring me back to the good, the awesome, the things that God has done for me and somehow by the end of every conversation we're laughing and I feel like I belong again. Sometimes I think she may be one of the very few people on this earth that gets me and still loves me. She knows me better than myself and I am so incredibly lucky to have a friend like her.
So leighleigh, thank you for being my friend no matter what.

So on that happy note, things I am thankful for today:

my best friend and getting to talk to her twice in one day
the thought of biking tomorrow
a good day at work
my awesome students that always make me smile
my great mentor and directing teacher and all I have learned from her so far
my loving sister
dinner made for me by my sister
my mom
i love you text messages
pen pals, even though I have been bad about writing back
that I love love love love love my job
my comfy bed
Lost and the hours I can spend watching it here and there
my awesome roommate and his always being there for me
my girlfriends here in jax and all around the globe....yall rock!! and im so grateful for blogger and getting the chance to *meet* so many of you
for salads (good food with no guilt)
this life
God's love

Your turn.....take a minute and share on your blog (or here) what you are thankful for. You'll be surprised how much better you will feel after. :) Promise.

love,
kellz
