Here are my answers...

I am responding to questions on my sister's blog:

The sickest I have ever been: uhhhmm I think it was 3rd grade when I got both mono and giardia. I don't remember how sick I was but I do remember the nasty yellow medicine I had to take. Gross medicine = really sick

The most pain I have ever been in: When I went to Audrey's wedding in Galveston in November. I got the worst migraine I have ever had in my life. Not only was it the greatest migraine I ever experienced it was the greatest pain I ever experienced. Ask Ryan, he can tell you all about it...

The best decision I ever made: Not breaking up with Ryan when we were dating. I love you, babe!

The most surprised I have ever been: When Heather and Jonathan told me they were pregnant while I was waiting tables at Lytle.

The saddest I have ever been: I try to put these thoughts out of my head...the first one that came to mind was when Callie and Pearl died.

The hardest thing I have done: Giving birth to a baby.

The thing that scared me the most: When we were in Spain and Ryan left our money and passports on the train. Ayudame por favor!

Ohhh the weather outside is frightful...

I love cold weather! I am so glad that we are going to have one normal wintry weekend in February. I think I will stay inside and sleep and read to celebrate!

Last night we went to PF Chang's. The food was amazing! So amazing that we decided to stay for 2 and a half hours!!! Actually, no. We did not choose to stay for 2 and a half hours...we were forced to. We waited forever! We were going to leave after we found out about the wait but we had already given our car to the "complimentary" valet people. So we stayed...and we waited. But the food was great!

Nothing too deep to post about today, haven't had much time to think.

Right now I am sitting, listening to 28 8th graders gossip. All they do is talk about each other. I know I did it too. I can still be guilty of it sometimes now. That is one of the ways that Ryan helps me to be a better person. Ryan doesn't gossip. And he gets on to me when I do. I love that boy!

Happy Valentine's Day

Okay so it may not be Valentine's day for most people but it is for me and Ryan. I had a tennis match on Tuesday...which my team won by the way, we're 2-0 now! so we couldn't go out then and last night I had class. So tonight is our v-day. I think we will go to PF Chang's. I love that restaurant but I think I love Pei Wei just as much if not more!

I realized why I haven't been posting as much lately. Blogs require thought and I just haven't been thinking much. I have been so busy that I am just on auto-pilot. I have no opinions, no thoughts, no clue as to what I really think about things the past few weeks. I realized this yesterday in the car when my radio wouldn't work so I just turned it off. Peace and quiet...and I started thinking. Thinking about how I haven't been thinking. So I have decided that when I drive to or from Denton I have to leave the radio off so I have time to think. Not about my job or about my class just about everything else. So I should be getting better about writing...I think...

Inspired...

Inspired by my sister, I am going to post random thoughts today...I hope you enjoy.

If I clean my desk at school, I can never find anything I am looking for.

I moved my bed time to 10:15. I have only seen this hour two times this week.

I can NEVER remember my friend's birthdays...sorry!

My schedule this semester is as follows: Monday-class @ UNT, Tuesday-tennis matches, Wednesday-class @ UNT

Ryan's schedule this semester is as follows: Wednesday night-work, Thurday night -counseling
Friday night- work.

See you in May, Ryan!

I have been wondering lately what it is in our brains that makes us like certain types of music. I like all kinds...right now I especially love Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews, Guster, 311 and GRILLZ

I love a really good pen.

Lola adds about 10 minutes to my getting ready routine in the morning. I have started putting my alarm clock under my pillow so I can still hear it but it won't wake her up.

I love Fridays! and Saturdays! and Sundays!

I am excited that the Olympics are starting. I like the winter Olympics because of all the skiing. But I love the summer Olympics because of almost everything!

Is that game where they scoot the thing across the ice and use a broom to sweep in front of it really a sport? What's that game called?

An amazing story...

There is a couple at our church that has an amazing story to share. They found out that they were pregnant a little while before Christmas. They began to tell people the week before their first sonogram in January. When they went in to see the doctor she saw something on the sonogram that shouldn't have been there. She decided to call in the tech and then the tech sent them to see a specialist. The specialist determined that the baby had (I don't remember the medical term) a membrane that was filled with fluid that went from the baby's head down it's back. It was not good. The doctor told them that in this situation 95% of the pregnancies end in miscarriage. They told people to just simply pray that God would heal their baby. Many prayers were lifted up on this baby's behalf.

They went back to the specialist after two weeks and the sonogram was perfect. The membrane was no longer there and the doctor told them that if this was the first time for her to see them, she would say they had a perfectly healthy baby. God is amazing and this story is a modern day miracle. Share it with people you know!

The couple, throughout this situation has been incredible. They have shown amazing faith! I would hope that if I am ever in a similar situation that I would be as faithful as they have been!
