yup. woke up this morning.
weighed myself.... 1.2 lbs less..


(i know one was at night && one was in the morning, but i am ignoring that :) )

i am going to start wih that 1.2 lb weight loss && run.


now homework, more update later.



xxxx kathi.

3 and counting....

sooo today was amazing. first of all: SNOW DAY!!! best thing ever (even though gina assigned HOME work), & luckily my bff spent the night with me & we both drive BEAST cars so we were out there in it early in the morning. don't worry, we DEFINTELY made it to free breakfast wednesdays at chik-fil-a, hahahha.


but anyway. we went shopping for almost 10 hours today!!! wow, well...katy got all her wedding money from her daddy today so we went and spent it. but don't worry, only like a fraction!! & you would think...oh that means they only got a fraction of what they needed ...

NOPE! ALMOST EVERYTHING!

kathi + brooke + katy = unstoppable shopping team, serious.


so after being exhausted brookie & i went to tan (which has been my source of happiness the past few weeks, hahaha)...and it really made me in a sad mood. idk. i came home from it feeling in slump.

then i read andrea's blog...& i saw that she was sad..

so then i got more sad.

then i commented on her blog, & i really decided that there is NO REASON for me to feel sad. so i am gonna list 3 good reasons why:

1. i am young.
2. i am in love.
3. i have the best friends.

&&&&& there are SO MANY MORE! so i've decided i need to suck it up && stop being sad.

if i am sad its probably because i havent been working out ....so EASY....just... WORK OUT!
(oh, && stop eating taco bell)



okay so... on the subject of working out:



KATY IS GETTING MARRIED IN 3 MONTHS!!!!

so. i am going to start updating ALL THE TIME in order to keep myself accountable. so please don't read them when i update every hour :)





first: tonight i worked out for 30 minutes in my "home gym" (mainly jog/walk on treadmill)
then i did 100 crunches.
then i weighed myself && put it on the cork board in my "home gym"
i listened to paramore (it pumps me up :) )


so now, i can stare at it tomorrow when i work out.

not bad for the first night.




anyway, i am happy.


xxxxxxx kat.

back to the grind.

welp, it's official. i am back in school. its terrible, but great.

i had a great first day, but i feel a little overwhelmed -- but i think this i going to be a good (busy) semester. i am so thankful that i have the exact same classmates from last semester. awesome. it makes the first day jitters, disappear.



ummmmm... other than that. katy's wedding is SO soon. means i need to shape up. by shape up i mean... lose weight. soooo...more about that later.


so i started looking for an old picture of katy and i to post, but i found this instead. and welll...it's just SO much better than our faces. this was a photo shoot that katy and i had about... 2 years ago...wow....2 years ago....anyway....





HAHAHHHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHA.

happy new yeear!!!

FIRST: HAPPY NEW YEAR!

i have really enjoyed this break...i have done a lot of nothing...which is what i wanted, somehow though i made a huge list of things i wanted to accomplish before returning to school...and i have completed the list --- minus a few things i still have to do! ONE MORE WEEK.

next week will be crazy. my mom's second store is opening so i have a lot of cleaning and organizing to help her with! i hope to be working for her this semester as much as i can so that i can make a little money to save for this fall --- since i will be unable to work AT ALL.

i also will be organizing my room so i can get ready for crazy school.

plus .... i wanna tan :)

i just realized...4 months until katy's wedding! OMG! i have so much to do..seriously. im so excited for her, but i have a lot to do....starting with my body. i need to start paying attention to it and i need to get myself on a regular schedule. its been hard since ive been on break because i have been sleeping in and staying up late. also not excercising and WAAAYY over eating [dang holidays :) ....]

also... 2 of my friends from the school of education got engaged over break! IM SO EXCITED FOR THEM!! YAYY! congrats jennifer AND corey! :). i have to get them something special.

christmas shopping: fin.

it is offical: i am finished shopping.


i am completely ready for Christmas to come b/c i have finally finished shopping! aaaaamaaazing.


which is good, b/c im broke :)



i went to the bank today (to open a savings account, good girl!!) and i was talking to the lady and she told me she hadn't even STARTED!!! im like...



What the HECK?!


why do people do that? i mean... perhaps she only has to buy a few gifts ... but why stress yourself like that? i start shopping the day after thanksgiving every year (bc i like torture, haha) and i just finished today. and just THAT has been stressful enough! ugghh..



by the way::


i babysat zander today (brooke's nephew) & so i wanted to upload a picture so you could see how cute he is!!!

that's all for now guy!!



ps. corey comes home tomorrow!! YAY!!

what i did today.

Well, I am officially on break...and it's amazing. I am catching up on all of the things I have been wanting to do all semester. I am dedicating this week to organizing all of my school things & sewing.

First. School things. By that I mean the 40 pairs of scissors I bought at Targe for .38! And the 100 glue sticks I bought there too. I have SO MUCH stuf you guys, seriously. It's ridiculous. So I took some pictures so you could see how I have destroyed my house (and my mom wants to kill me for it), and then I will show how awesome it looks when I am finished.


Second. Sewing. I have had some sewing projects for YEARS that I haven't finished. Brooke's mom (beth) asked me to make a slipcover for one of their pillows (pictures later) so it got me excited to sew a few things I have been putting off. For example, I have had Corey's Sonic for 2 YEARS! Wow, that's bad.



These are out of order but here you go:



Well, this is definely a duck cake. Katy made this today. I basically watched her. But, its cute. and 3D. hahahha. She bit the beak off. soooo cute :)

YEEEAH! super.

This is in my bedroom, against the wall. MORE CRAP!

This is my hallway guys, seriously.

Sweet vintage cigar boxes, I finally found a purpose for their little lives: to hold my markers :).

This is the little organizer thing my mom got for me. It's old school, but amazing.

2nd guest room guys. It's BAAAD.
This is our dining room. Wow. Half of this is deliveries for my mom's business though, so doesn't REALLY count. hahha.
Wanted to show our Christmas tree. I LOVE CHRISTMAS! <333 href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLGlcDPAXCAGiMfqXnUTdMbh5SuFP-27lx3xqB3y6KSEtAOyIbLl-ew00Efenv2j9awMopKGTtmyhsgs2B8mEGK-KQx3ayMDrBm1FUfE98ALpgpS9O1DAJ4_qkU1prUHrT-xutROW2rila/s1600-h/PC020059.JPG"> Also, I thought I could sum up this post because this picture also sums up my 21st birthday. HAHAHAHHA. That is mt dew in front of me, I SWEAR. There are no 'beverages' because ....well, I already drank them all (which is probably why I have a lemon in my mouth) hahahhaha. love my friends. <3

p.s. I love being snowed in!!

update needed.

i am aware that if i am going to do this blog thing that i need to regularly update, so im sorry. even though im pretty sure nobody reads this thing...but perhaps they would if i updated?!

update on the last post: i got a treadmill on craigslist. i paid 80 dollars for it, and katy and i drove out to nashville (about 30 minutes south, also where she is getting married) to get it. just let me tell you what happened..... it was dark. it is in the middle of nowhere, and this ladies house was in a hole. serious. it was scary -- but we made it out alive.


i made my goal weight -- it was to lose 3 lbs this week. I DID IT! YAY!! next week its 4..so i will update on that later.



i am almost done shopping for christmas, i am trying really hard to find something for my mom... she is hard to buy for ... idk. i wanted to get a digital book reader but they are sold out!! EVERYWHERE! (and not to mention they are 300 dollars!)

little known fact about me: i love love love giving gifts! seriously, it gives me such joy to see other people receiving things that they REALLY want. ugh. i love it. its the gift God has given me -- the ability to be the absolute best gift giver. hahahha (& my humbleness of course)




LAST....I AM OFF SCHOOL FOR A MONTH! I AM SO HAPPY. i am taking full advantage of my time off and that means i am going to relax...and organize. bc thats what i do best.
