Marcus and I decided to for real start a "clean diet" this week. Really, we're serious about losing weight this time.
He wakes me up at 8am (I am on fall break) with a biscuit from McDonalds.
A southern style chicken biscuit.
SMH.
I didn't eat it all, for the record. And now I won't eat for the rest of the day. Yay for diets?

To my fifteen year old self
I just saw this article on CNN.com, and I thought it was an interesting concept, so I thought it would be something fun to do.
To my fifteen year old self,
Right now you're at an interesting point in your life. You are about to be baptized, and you've been going to church more. You are about to experience your first real heartbreak, even though you have another year or so before you have your first serious relationship. You have a good group of friends, many you are still friends with, now. There are a lot of things that will confuse you in the next few years, but I promise, it will all work itself out.
A few words of advice, though I know you probably wont listen.
First, no man is worth putting above your friends. At least not until you are married, and that won't happen until you are 25.
Second, if the majority of your friends are not a fan of a guy, there is probably a reason.
Your first instinct is usually right. STOP ignoring it.
If he cheats once, he will probably cheat again. Being drunk or the fact that he was honest with you does not excuse it.
Hiding things is the same thing as lying. If you feel like you shouldn't tell someone what you're doing, you probably shouldn't be doing it.
Stay away from credit cards. <~ This will be your one big regret, later.
Be nice to people. You are not better than anyone else. If you feel wrong saying something to someone DON'T say it. People do not always want your opinion, sometimes they just want you to be there for them.
~Always do your best~

My education plan.
I am not watching the debate, in case you are wondering. I know what you are thinking..
"She's a social studies teacher, she should be watching!".
No.
In 2004 I took an English 1101 class with Dr. Crow at GSU. She introduced me to a little website called factcheck.org. This website completely changed my view on debates and speeches. Bottom line, both candidates will exaggerate, lie, completely misconstrue things. So, I will read the debate tomorrow on factcheck.org and figure out what was the truth.
Moving on....
Came up with a plan to continue my education that I am actually okay with and confident about, today. I am currently taking two classes at GSU that are STRESSING me out. I am going to do my best to finish them, but considering all the issues I've had this semester, I will be transferring to Liberty University in order to finish my Ed.S in the spring. The reason I have chosen to transfer is that my Ed.S. hours will transfer directly into an Ed.D when I choose to begin that at Liberty. I was thinking about going ahead and doing my Ed.D at Liberty, but I've decided instead to first do my Ed.S so I can get my lovely pay raise, and then I will continue on with the next 33 hours I will have to take.
So, I will be saying good-bye to GSU soon. I wish I could say that I am sad, but my experiences the past few months have not been good. Granted, the problems I've had have been partially caused by myself, but I am a little disappointed in the "customer service" aspect of the entire process. I am, after all, paying these people thousands of dollars. Anywho, that's my plan, for those who cared.
Have a lovely night!

Christina and Amanda
This Saturday, Marcus and I went to a wedding reception for two of our favorite women. Christina and Amanda played on the same flag football team as me when Marcus and I met. We were the two couples that came out of the season. Christina and Amanda got married in New York a few weeks before Marcus and I did, and their reception was SO beautiful.
See? It was in the basement of a historic building in Savannah, below a restaurant. SO pretty.
They also had a ton of wonderful details.
"Forget you" dancing :)
Me and Ashley
Ash and James
My handsome hubs :)
And finally...for your viewing pleasure, Blue Steel.
Beautiful wedding!!

Another day...
One of THOSE days.
Wednesday through Friday of this week I am at CDL training at the board office so I can learn how to drive a bus in case I need to while coaching.
Have you seen me drive my Focus?
But, I will do my best.
Georgia Southern, God love them, drives me insane. I applied for my Ed.S this summer, signed up for classes. They send me an e-mail Monday and tell me I have to have this one form in by the end of this week or they will drop my classes.
Um....k?
Get it in. Then I get a call TODAY (two weeks into classes, one day before financial aid disbursement) that I cannot be accepted because I did not take my GRE. Why does my checklist for application say everything is in? I took the MAT, which was fine for my masters, and several places on the application process say MAT/GRE score. Apparently that is not good enough. SO, I will be taking these lovely classes as a "limited, non-degree student" and hopefully will be taking the GRE soon, and will be officially accepted asap. Thank GOD the financial aid department is understanding of how crappy this situation is.
I have a strong love hate relationship with Georgia Southern.
It's currently leaning toward HATE.
BUT, our volleyball team won all three of their games today.
And I love my husband.
Ready for the weekend to see my family and celebrate my nephew's birthday.
the end.
