Proud of Myself! And a Snowball Fight!

Well, it may have taken me two days to figure it out... but look at my new header! I'm SO not into technology. I quickly lose patience over trying to figure things out. Which is why my blog ALWAYS looks so simple. But that's ok. Simple is good.

So here are some pictures of last week snowball fight between me and Dylan.
















We've had a BEAUTIFUL weather weekend the past couple days. 60-70 degree weather. Too bad it is going to be sandwiched in between two snow storms. Those pictures were taken last week and there is supposed to be more snow on Tuesday! Eeek! I do love snow days. I don't feel so stranded because Dylan isn't afraid to drive in the snow and we get out and about and go on adventures!

Happy Sunday!

And So It Begins...

School started last week. I'm sorting though each syllabus and planning out each week for the next 4 months. I have been working on 5 different graduate school applications since 2011 hit. And I'm excited to say that I've completed one and mailed it in. I just have four more left.. and they're all sitting there - complete - waiting to be stamped and mailed. Except I'm too nervous. I've got to have someone else look through them and double check my work. Ha. Then I'll hopefully be finished! YAY! I should know if I'm accepted to any graduate programs by the end of March/beginning of April. That's the hard part, I suppose. Having to wait so long and then to open up each envelope. Ick.

More to come soon. With pictures, hopefully. I have some memories to share!

My Amazing Cousin, Kristin.

This is one of my first times to link up to Kelly's Korner "Show Us Your Life Friday" and I'm so excited because I have someone special to share!

This beautiful girl is actually my second cousin, but we grew up together and we're actually more like sisters. She's lovely inside and out. Here are some facts about her:

-She lives in Northwest Arkansas
-24 Years old
-Graduated with a degree in Communications from the University of Arkansas
-Works at a local, trendy boutique in town.
-She's quiet, but fun.
-She's short (I'm not sure of exact height.) And has brown hair and BEAUTIFUL blue eyes!
-She loves to make other people happy and is constantly doing things for others.
-SHE'S GORGEOUS. She is so stylish and has the brightest smile!
-She has one younger brother and they're very close.
-She has a little yorkie, Zoey.
-She is all about family (because we're so stinkin' fun to be around!)
-Some of her hobbies are: going to church, working out, going to movies and out to dinner, she loves to be outdoors and go to the lake in the summer, etc. She has also lived on a farm her whole life. This girl knows how to drive a tractor, bale hay, bait a hook, and drive a four wheeler. She amazes me!

She is honest, trustworthy, and believe me when I say she's got the biggest, softest heart. She's ready for a guy who is willing to have a good time, to sit back and enjoy a drink with her, and enjoy the things they have in common. She only deserves the best. I would love to see her with someone who brings out the absolute best in her and someone who is willing to take care of her and love her. She's an awesome BEAUTIFUL person inside and out and if anyone out there thinks they're willing to be that guy for her, please email me at Emargaret14@aol.com

This is her recently at a baby shower for one of her cousins:

See, I told you she could fish ;)

And with Zoey dog!

20 Years.

\Yesterday, my little sister turned 20 years old. And that is so hard for me to believe. It feels like just yesterday she was in middle school and we were fighting daily. Ok... we still kind of fight daily. Ha. People always say, "one day she'll be your best friend." And I keep waiting. Will it be when we're both adults? When we're both married? When we're both having babies? Regardless, I still love her and I'm still very proud of the young woman she is. She's far better than I am inside and out, and sometimes I think she teaches me more than I teach her.



Happy Birthday, Katelyn Marie!
