YAY!!!

So, I finally started a blog...exciting I know! I have to give credit to Jill Montoya for finally convincing me that I should go ahead and get over my fear of this relatively new concept of blogging.
Anywhoo...Today has been a relatively unproductive day. I've been at work since 8am and all I've managed to do was check all my emails for free food (its really awesome...just sign up for all the major chain restaraunts' email clubs!) and listen to several hundred grouchy SHSU parents/students that are having trouble with financial aid or tuition payments. SOOO FUN! (notice the sarcasm here) ;) If you don't know, I work in the Visitor Center of Sam Houston State University, so I'm basically the voice and face of the university for all prospective students and alumni...it's a very interesting job... I really do love working at the visitor center and I love all my coworkers, so I will be very sad when August comes around and I have to leave for student teaching.
This is just an overview of what's been happening in my life lately (since January 2010):

1. I've lost 30 pounds since January and it's awesome!! I definitely feel much better on the inside and look much better on the outside :) Now if I could only lose these last 5 pounds so that my Weight Watchers membership is FREEEEEE!!!
2. I've discovered that I have the most amazing people in my life who have helped me through this crazy time in my life. My mom, James, Kerri, Shannon, and Amanda keep me sane, happy, put up with my mood swings, and motivate me to be healthy!
3. James and I have finally set a date and booked a venue for the wedding! June 10, 2011 at Magnolia Lake in Huntsville, Texas at 6:30pm! So, mark your calendars and make sure you can be there!!!
4. My mom has been an amazing mom since the beginning of time, its just taken me until now to realize how awesome she is!! She's truly my best friend and I can not even begin to express my gratitude to her for EVERYTHING!
5. I survived my methods block and got a 4.0!! It was definitely an eye-opening and fun experience in my second grade classroom. There were times when I thought I was going to smack some people for being so unprofessional, but I am proud to say that I got through it without even saying a rude word to them! ;)
6. James turned a quarter of a century old on May 2nd! He's SOOO old ;) and he's going to hate me for putting this on my blog... His birthday was so much fun! We went to Kemah and had lunch at The Flying Dutchman, dessert at Joe's Crab Shack, pet and fed the stingrays at The Aquarium, looked for fun books at Half-Price Books, and then had dinner at Iguana Joes with my parents. It was a long, but YUMMY day!

That's all I can think of for now...sorry this is so long! I'm beginning to like this blogging thing!
