12 high points of 2012

One of my friends posted 12 things that meant something to her or something she was proud of! I loved it so thought I would reflect on 2012 in a positive way!


1. I married my best friend!  This day was not just important and meaningful because I married my best friend.  It was such an amazing week because we created memories with our family that we will remember our whole life!

 

 

 

2.  I rarely talk about my old school!  It's something that I am very proud of!  I worked at a inner city school...When I told people I worked there they would say wow you must be a strong person.  I would laugh and say kids are kids no matter where they live!  I learned so much from them and loved my job!  While there I started a theatre program!  My students even won an award! I miss my school everyday!  These students and staff shaped and touched my life!

 

 

 

3.  I changed my life!  I've gone from a couch potatoe to a healthy person!  I've done two hours spin class!  I've flipped tires!!!  I have actually changed the person I am inside and out!

 

 

4.  I moved away from Texas!  Which was really hard!  I love and miss my family everyday!  It's taught me soo much about my strength and made new friends which can be really hard in a new place!

 

 

 

5.  I never in my mind would I think I could say this!  I have inspired people to loose weight!  If someone would have told me a year and half ago that I would change peoples lives and help them loose weight I would have laughed at you eating my ice cream!  But I can say with pride that I have gotten message from people that say thank you it means the world to me!

 

 

6.  I'm proud of myself for stepping out of the box and trying some modeling!!!  Takes alot to put on a corset and say okay shoot go for it... and then post it on facebook!  I'm proud of learning from great photographers about modeling... Which that I am very blessed to have met Hanna Roller.  The woman who has taken this photo.  She is incredible photographer and person!  Truly blessed to have met her!

 

 

 

7. I am very proud of being put the San Antonio Wedding Guide! 

 

 

8.  This year we got to go to Disney and to visit Ryan Grandparents for Thanksgiving.  Nancy's family was so welcoming to us!  This definally was a highlight to see them for Thanksgiving!

 

 

 

 9.  I am so proud of my husband this year!  He got first class and made a really high score on his exam!  Hes a rock star in my books!

10.  I am just really happy and proud of my relationship with my husband!  We have had such a blast so far as a married couple!  No matter what comes our way we face it together!  We find fun no matter where we are!  Thank you Ryan for being such a great husband!

 

11.  I got a permante sub positon which I was soo blessed with!  The reason I became a teacher was because of my second grade teacher!!!  I've gotten to teach second grade for the past couple months and it has been such an amazing experience!

 

12.  Lastly,  sadly my brother was in a awful accident!  I could have lost my brother!  It was very scary.  He had complete back surgery...the doctors said that he would be in rehab for atleast a year.  God works in such amazing ways!  In less then five months my brother was walking again and back to working!   My brother is a hard working person who can do anytihng in the world!  But because of God I still have my brother in my life!  So out of all the wonderful things that happened this year I am the most thankful that mybrother is doing so well and is with us today!  Thank you God for all your belssings!

 

 

The new Normal

I haven't writen one of these in a while.  I figured it was about time.  Tonight I am alone because Ryan has watch....weird being alone but hey it's better then him being deployed... So I will not complain about one night. I thought I'd  talk about what we have been up to and since New Years is in the near future what my goals are going to be.

Nothing too exciting is going on in life.  Just teaching and enjoying being back in a classroom.. It ends in feb so I'm sure I'm going to be really sad to have to say goodbye to some of these kids... Ryan and I did our first volunteering event!  We helped at the Pensacola Christmas Parade....It was actually a lot of fun!  The parade was beauitful and it was awesome just doing something for the community as a couple.  We also put up our first Christmas tree as husband and wife!  haha I call it our Grown Up Tree because we actually have a full size tree...In the past we have just used those little tiny trees lol Which would end up falling over it because Elie our cat would climb it.  That's whats been going on.... with us

I recently did a photoshoot with a photographer.... as you have seen the pictures....She was an amazing photographer but I still need to loosen up and just love myself more.. I look at the pictures and still see fat and need to tone!  The shocking thing is I don't see huge anymore... I actually shocked now that I use to be that!  I've maintain my weight for pretty much six months... I would love to drop five to ten pounds but I will def embrace where I am and not stress about it.  I actually am very use to the way I eat..small portions its now my new normal!  On the side note I love that show!  Speaking of shows...  The new girl show really freaks me out every week.... She reminds me soo much of myself... The way she dresses and the nerd she is.... but mostly how she deals with things and the things she goes through...Kind of scary sometimes how close it is to my life.



Soooo I'm going to be turning 28 on Jan 10.... oh goodness... I'm getting to thirty... I have no regrets though..... New Years is coming... and I know many people laugh about resolutions... I think mine isn't a resolution I think its just some goals I want to obtain by the end of the year.  I think I'll stick to seven of them... and hope to atleast do 5 of them.. I think I can forgive myself if I don't reach two lol hahah see already making excuses. bad Lisa!


Goals.

1. Gain a close girlfriend.  I know it sounds sooo silly.... I have never had a close girlfriend basically my whole life it may be the fact that I grew up around boys.  But I would like to gain a close girl friend.  Doesn't have to be Penscola either.... (Reconnected with someone from High school we weren't close friends in high school.... neither no why... But I see it happening)

2.Sundays, I will turn off my phone and turn off the computer!  My husband doesn't think its possible!  I think we are on the phone and computer too much!  I'm the worst... So on Sundays I'm going to be a free from phone and free from computer lady!

3. DO A 5K! Goal is April and my husband will stand at the end and I will do a victory dance! To prove to him that I can do it! He believes I can do it! But doesn't think I will!

4. Take a cooking or painting class!

5. Audtion for a play!  ( I miss it and I need to do some of it!)

6.  Parasail!  I want to do it!! I hope I don't die!!!

7.  I want to volunteer atleast five times this new year!


So lets see how I do.... If I don't do them I'm going to have to buy a drink for everyone that I didn't do for my husband!!!

Sorry if this blog was boring..... hope not too boring!

Oh and I'm really excited because my best friend is coming to visit Pensacola in Jan!! Also I'm going to Texas to vist in March....

Ryan and I are doing wonderful... I'm a very very lucky girl....

Oh you are probably wondering why call this the new normal... because my life is starting to finally feel normal.....
