50 Q&A

7. Are you doing what you believe in or are you settling for what you are doing?

Hmm thats a hard one...I would have to say my answer is 50/50. I am going to school and following my goals in the order that I believe will benefit me in the end (school, graduate, buy a house, get married, have kids...)However I know I am failing in my spiritual part of my life. I find myself only praying to God and asking for help when I need it not on a daily basis. I frequently miss going to Sunday Mass. All of these are issues that I need to work on. Hopefully I can find my way back into the church and maybe then things will come with less struggle.

Here are some pictures from the river:

 Tank swinging with Aunt Karen

 Tank lovin on me :) one of my favorite pics of the moment!!

 Really more pics?!

 Uncle Kurt and Aunt Karen

 Kathy and Vern

 Dean and Karen Wagner

 Grandma and Grandpa Price! Happy Birthday 60th Grandma!!!!

This is a photo I snapped of Tank last night. He was relaxing on my pile of dirty clothes! as my Mom says that is a face only a mother could love!

Embrace The Camera

My embrace the camera isn't quite me in my pjs with my hair a mess but I snagged this picture of Hobbs during her and Tank's play session. She wasn't really happy, I think she had had enough of his rough housing. 

I imagine these words going through her head::

Maybe if I hide my face he won't see me laying here.

You should join in on the fun of the embrace the camera. Head over to Emily's get check out the details :)

On another note: Everyone else may be getting irritated with all the royalty wedding news going on but I am not going to lie I am getting really excited! Mom and I are going to wake up in the morning at 4 a.m. and watch it together. I am a huge fan of the Today Show. I am watch it every morning and have been for over a year now. Since I get up and go over to get the kids ready for school and on the bus this is pretty much the only show with "substance" (for lack of better words) on TV so early in the morning. I have become such a huge fan of everything Today Show and cannot wait to visit NY again for it will have better meaning to me :) anyways with that tidbit of information The Today Show has been broadcasting from the Royal Wedding all week and just the excitement of all of it is just building up inside of me!!!! Sorry for everyone else who is ready for the day to be over.
Well I need to get ready for my full day of class. The thing I love about tuesdays and thursdays is that I get to go to yoga and circuit training between my regular classes!!! Yoga is so relaxing and circuit training is really helping me to shed some of these pounds and get muscles ;) I actually have lost 11 lbs. in the last 4 weeks!!! wootwoot GO ME!!!
50 Q&A6.If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich?I would be helping people. Anyone from little kiddos to old people in the nursing homes and hospitals. I enjoy putting a smile on people's faces and by doing so it always puts one on mine :) Sorry so short but I am on the run today!
Have a Great Day everyone! and please keep the people of Alabama, Georgia and all the others effected by the horrible tornadoes last night.

Today I am going to start my first "favorite" of my series of favorite things to post. If anyone else wants to join in on this please feel free to do so. I am just going to be posting on no special day of the week something that is my favorite thing. It might be something materialistic or just something I am thankful for. A lot of times I find myself thinking more of the things I want to buy and not the things I already have. By doing this "Favorites" I think I will be able to help me realize how lucky I am to have the things I do have in life and be happy with that. So here is my first favorite post.

It would be my Canon Rebel XS. I bought this baby in 2009 with some of my graduation money. Technically it is a gift from all the people that love me and are really important in my life. I use this camera all the time!!! It takes some amazing pictures and lets me capture memories that would otherwise be lost if no pictures were taken. I am probably going to cry like a baby the day this breaks or quits working. 

50 Q&A Day 5

5.What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?

One thing I would like to change most about the world....wow I am pretty sure it is going to be hard to just choose one! The list could go on forever. I guess I will just have to pull the easy card on this one and say: The one thing I would like to change about the world would be that there would no longer be any poverty. I believe that if everyone was "comfortable" with their money status and didn't have to worry on a daily basis there would be less stress and more happy people. 

So last night I decided to venture down stairs to my scrapbook room. I knew going down there would be slightly disastrous to the eyes. For some reason and I hope its not just me but every time I get crafty and decide to create something I make a huge mess! The good thing with my scrapbook room being in our basement is that I can just turn the lights off and leave and not have to move around it on a daily basis and my Mom doesn't ever go downstairs so she doesn't tell me when it needs cleaned. Tonight I was extremely angry with how I had left the room last time I was down there creating stuff so I decided to do some major cleaning.  I took some pictures of the before then of the after. So here it is::

 WOW! so embarassing!!!

 MUCH better
I decided to hang some Christmas lights around the ceiling and I love the new touch!!!

 Page making/assembling desk

 Shelf that holds my Cricut Carts and some of my own stamps.

 I decided to create a scrap paper box. That thing is going to save me some money. The stack in front of it is just half of my scrapbook paper. It needs organized into categories but I didn't feel like messing with that tonight so this is where it ended up.

 Cricut Center. I am thinking about decorating that wall differently but I am just not sure what I am going to do yet. 

Shelf that holds sewing machine, little totes (blue- adhesives, green-random, purple-cards and card making supplies.)

Here is a little tour of the stuff in my room::

A- totes mentioned above

B-Scrap paper and filing cabinet of memories and important info

C-Jugs of beads

D-Paper organizer I made but don't use at the moment

E-Sewing basket

F-Cricut Center.

There is a good bit of finishing that needs to be done but this room serves its purpose and I don't want to put too much money into it when in a couple years or sooner I will be moving out and who knows what Mom and Dad will turn this room into. I dread the day I have to pack all of this stuff up for moving, it is going to have to be very organized. I can just imagine all the boxes that will be hauled out of this room! I will just worry about that when the day comes. 

Here is my 50 Q&A::

4.When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
I hope that when its all said and done I will have done more than what I have said. I try to not just talk about doing things and I am trying to live in the moment more here lately. Anthony once told me that he didn't think about stuff far into the future because he might miss something important in the moment. If we all live for the future or the "what could be" we can't make the impossible possible or accomplish things and thoroughly enjoy enjoy every moment of our lives!!!

Easter Sunday

I had a wonderful Easter Sunday. We woke up and got ready for church in a slight rush ofcourse and then attended 10:30 mass. Church was packed and Jk and I showed up late so we stood on the steps outside of church. It was a very nice day so we got to enjoy church outside. After church JK and I went to Wal-Mart to pick up a chocolate pie for dessert at Grandma Spiker's then came to the house so I could get my camera. Then we headed to Grandma's for the day. We enjoyed amazing food and spent time together. I am also going to start a "My Favorite Things" posting. I will be posting these on a random day of the week. These things are helping me have subjects to blog about and keep me up to date on blogs. My goal is to blog almost every day of the week. So wish me luck!

50 Day Challenge

2.Which is worse, failing or never trying?

I would say never trying would be worse than failing. When you fail you can try again, know your potential, or are able to say you have attempted something. However if you never try you will never know your potential and you will never learn what it is like to loose at something. The problem with not trying is you will never know if you can and it just leaves you with the question of "could I have.." or "would I have been able to.."

OH-IO... Spring Game, Some Egg Coloring & 50 Challenge

Today Anthony and I went with our friends Jon, Michelle, and Kaitlyn to the Ohio State Spring Game. It was Anthony's first football game, making it our first game together :) The weather was actually pretty nice, a little windy with a chill here and there but no rain and it was kind of warm. Here are some pics from the game. Did I also mention we had awesome seats...third row from the field at the 45 yard line :)

 Talking to my Momma! "Hey Mom I am at the SHOE!!! OH-IO!!!"

 I love that smile...well that one is a little fake ;)

 That would be Anthony and Jon way up there at the top!!!

 Can you see them now?! man they look so tiny.

Well I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter and I will post pictures from our day tomorrow. Here is my first of the 50 day challenge:

1.How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?

I would say 21 or 22. I would say this because I pretty much do stuff that most people this age would be doing. I feel as if I have accomplished stuff in my life but I feel there is still a lot to be done. Like graduating college, getting married, buying our first house, maybe getting a brand new car, starting a family etc.
