Next Step Forward

Wow, So I knew I was going to be horrible at this blogging...

I promise I am going to get better!

Well life is short and things change fast...

Last time I blogged I was content with life or what I thought was contentment but I realized the next step in my life wasn't marriage... Enough said about that.... I am moving on...

This summer my family and I went to Florida and had a blast. We stayed in Orlando for 3 days and then went to Daytona Beach for 3 days.... We went to Disney World and to Universal Studios...
I felt like a little kid again.... No matter what I will make sure I take my kids to Disney every year it truly is an experience of a lifetime... Universal Studios made Six Flags seem so lame...haha I called it a glorified Six Flags...

Of course while we were there we did some shopping!

Daytona Beach was a blast.... I pretty much laid in the sun for as long as I could....Got a pretty good tan which now is almost gone.... It was very relaxing and I enjoyed everyday of it.

Family time to me is imperative... I loved every minute I got to spend with them!

I also started a new job this summer on top of my Waco Loft Living job! I am the membership coordinator at the Doris Miller Family YMCA... I love it! The people I get to work with are so fun and it's just a great atmosphere... It is stressful at times when things are going on at the loft buildings and when I am trying to take care of my paperwork there but I enjoy staying busy....

I also have started working out on a daily basis, sometimes two times a day... I really never enjoyed running but it is my stress reliever these days...

Since the weather has been so nasty I haven't been able to run outside as much as I want, just cause I hate dirtying up my shoes lol!

But I am so excited about the fall weather and hope to start running more...

Anyone in Waco need a running partner....

LIFE TODAY.....

I am in this weird point in my life I feel.... Somedays I feel like I grew up way to fast but then other days I feel that I can still be a little carefree....

I am so thankful for each day God gives me and I know I take for granted everything I have.

My life is full of wonderful friends and family who are so supportive.

So I have been really contemplating the idea of getting a tattoo....

Mom isn't too keen on the idea but I want one in memory of my Pops....

Well I will update again soon!

New to the Blog World

So I thought I would try this out. Maybe I will have some followers or maybe I will just follow the more experienced bloggers. I guess this is a place for me to spill my daily thoughts and updates on my life. I have enjoyed getting to read others blogs and hope that I will have interesting things to write weekly at first and then possibly daily! As many of you know I just graduated from Baylor University in December 2008, it has been very eventful since then. I got my first real world job at Waco Loft Living. I manage three historical lofts with another lady. It has been great so far. I live in one as well which is extremely convenient! Also Matt proposed in San Antonio in March, so our new chapter in life will begin next year. I have never been the girl that envisioned my wedding growing up so we will see how it all turns out. We are going back in forth between locations and dates. But we will keep everyone updated! Well enough about me...


This past weekend I went home for Analara's(my middle sister) high school graduation and had a great time! Got to see all my family and old friends! It was really enjoyable. I told my Mom it was weird not being the one graduating the past two graduations have been my college graduation and high school graduation four years ago (CRAZY)!!! I was so proud of her, she was the Valedictorian of the class and her speech was really good. I was nervous for her, cause if any of you know her speaking in front of people isn't her favorite thing! She got several scholarships and will be attending Angelo State in the fall! Time flies by!



These next two weekends are going to be super busy, but I am looking forward to them! Matt is in one of his best friends weddings this weekend in Temple and then next weekend I am in one of my best friend's, Katie's wedding her in Waco! Also Paige (aunt) and Madison (cousin) are coming to stay Monday night for a softball camp, (that reminds me I need to clean)!

On top of that I still work at the YMCA here in Waco, which I have for 3 years now and our Men's B-ball League starts back up on Sunday. I think there are like 5 games every Sunday which is a relief compared to the 8 we had last season 1-9 at the gym is where I lived!

Well I feel like I have talked to much about boring stuff, but I guess this is what you do when you blog talk to anyone out there who is reading!

I have to go get ready for Matt's little sister's graduation in Grandview tonight!

I can't wait for July, FLORIDA is where I will be, well at least for a week!

That reminds me, my family and I are going to Orlando for 3 days and Daytona Beach for 4 I think. I need help deciding which Disney World Park to go to we are only going one day but we can't decide which would be the best to go to to get a little taste! Let me know if you have any ideas or thoughts on things to do or see while there.

Love and God Bless,

Alison
