New Sunday Tradition...?

Sometimes I should be doing homework and focusing. But because I feel like that is all I am constantly doing I allow myself to get sidetracked and enjoy life a little. Thankfully I have an amazing roommate to help me out. So yesterday instead of creating a post test and finishing lessons plans early we decided to remake this awesome YouTube video.

So for your entertainment here is our recreation of the video. Warning: the song will get stuck in your head and 95% positive you'll want to dance :)

My Day Off....

My day off consists of this....

...writing papers and planning for the week.

If I am lucky I'll get to watch a little of this before heading to bed.

P.S. Did I mention I finally went running this morning?! New goal: Wake up and run at 5:15 am (yep you read that right) on Tuesdays and Thursdays with my sister. Here's to a healthier, more fit mama!

Sage, Planking and Other Happenings.

Meet Sage Aspen Bybee. My totally adorable niece.

Sage and her mama aka my twin

We are already the best of friends :)

I was actually able to be at the hospital for her birth. Which may have caused me to get less than 3 hours of sleep before teaching the next day but I would definitely do it again!

I hope ya'll are ready for this next part.

Me and Celestial have found our new favorite thing to do. Planking. This video is what inspired us. And we have just begun!! Warning: it was 12:45 am and we were bored at work. And let's just say when you are tired everything is funny and responsibility goes out the window hahaha.

This is the picture that started it all! We were standing there and I suggested it and Celestial was brave enough to do it. She sure is on top of a filing cabinet in the our office.

Theater planking.

 Patrick showing us up.

Yep, she planked on top of our ice cream freezer.

Sure did find a rock and stop on our way home from church the next day to capture this beauty. Unfortunately, my shoes fell off my feet into the snow so I ran back to the car barefoot and frozen. Worth it.

Human planking with my little sister. She is just a tad special but I still love her.

Also mama got her hair done this weekend! Not the best picture but then again when do I ever get a good one? haha I cut it and got dark brown and red highlights. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the color. 

Last but not least: Celestial and I lookin' good for church. Mama's gotta find a man ;)

Life is good :) 

New Year, New Me?

Well who am I kidding? I don't really want to change that much about me and more than that I won't have that much free time for me this year. There will definitely be many changes in my life. Some big changes to look forward to for the year 2012:

- graduating college
- getting a teaching job (fingers crossed)
- moving (most likely back in with my parents).

Three rather exciting experiences. This year my goal is simple: Make new/more friends. Yes, I have to set that as a goal because I kinda fail in this department.  But I will say this. Because I accomplished my goal from last year: No soda for a year, I feel confident that I can conquer this year's.

So here's to a new year!


* Side note: You better believe I had one of these little guys on January 1, 2012. (Thanks to David).

P.S. I start student teaching tomorrow! Be ready for some fun updates/stories :)

Here's to a new year!
