Housewarming Party/Birthday Party

So this Saturday was spent celebrating my niece's fourth birthday along with my newly remodeled house! It was a very stressful morning because the company that we ordered the jumper and tables from cancelled because it was going to rain all day! Well I had looked it up and it was supposed to stop by 1pm and that's when the party was going to start.  Needless to say we had to find other arrangements because in about 4 hours we would have a bunch of people over.  Lucky for us, my mom called another company that supplied the chairs and tables for us.  I called my friend, who guided me to another jumper company that saved the day!

Around 1pm all of my family started to show up.  It was fun watching everyone look at my house and admire the work we have put into it.  It was even better to see the faces of those that have previously seen it to know what it has progressed from.  Audrey had a wonderful time with cousins and friends playing in the jumper and around the house.  Lucky for us, the rain stayed away just like the forecast predicted.

Around 5pm, my "work" friends started to show up.  I didn't think they would want to hang out with all of the little kids running around.  We had a bunch of fun and the last guests left around 12:45am.  It was a fun and exciting time and Audrey and I are both very thankful.

I missed out on taking pictures because I was so busy that day sorry.

SO....

For those of you who do not know....I MOVED INTO MY HOUSE!!!! It doesn't resemble the same house that I walked through back in September 2009.  It is a "brand new" house and it is lovely! Many thanks to my dad and mom!!! Without them, many of the "new" things wouldn't be done.  Also thanks to my cousins Michael and Mando for my new tile and showers and for the lack of holes in my house!

I will post pictures at a later time when I actually have internet at my house.  :)

Half way done!

Today is the last day of the semester! I will enjoy the next three weeks off of school for Christmas Break before beginning the second semester of the school year.  I can't believe how fast the year has gone.  I think it is mainly due to cheer.  For 12 weeks we had weekly football games that made those three months fly by! I can't believe that the football season is over and that we only have 18 more weeks of school! It's exciting to know that it is halfway over.  Many times I still feel like I'm "brand new", but other times I feel right at home. :)

Now it's time to enjoy the next three weeks of vacation! :)  (I know you are jealous...hehe.)

99.1 KGGI

This year has been full of major events for my cheer squad.  Today at 7:45 on 99.1, some of my cheerleaders and some of the football players will be on the radio station.  They will be broadcasting to help promote Friday night's CIF football game. On Friday, the radio station will also be at the football game broadcasting live as well! This is an awesome opportunity for the girls to be able to participate in along with the student body.  So even if you do not care for this music, turn the radio on to hear the girls tonight. :)

In 6 months........

I WILL BE 30!!!!! YIKES!!!

One of my cheerleaders brought in balloons for her boyfriend for his birthday so all of the kids thought today was my birthday.  This is when I realized in exactly 6 MONTHS, I will have my birthday and I'll be 30! Oh well, it won't be that bad, right???  :)

PINK OUT!!!!!

Hey y'all!
Well since October is breast cancer awareness month my cheerleaders have been promoting all month long by wearing pink tanks that we got during the summer.  They have the breast cancer ribbon on it and they are super cute.  Football has also been supporting all month by selling T-Shirts at the Homecoming Carnival and at the home football games.  They were raising money to donate to an organization.

Well because of all of this great publicity, the Channel 5 News came out this past Friday! It was super exciting for all of the students and for the staff as well.  They wanted some of the students to get there early on Friday morning for interviews.  Well that's what I was told on Thursday morning.  (Yea they told me the day before.)  So early Friday morning there was a gathering of football players, cheerleaders and ASB students.  The whole thing was broadcasted on the news.  During first and second period they also had short segments that were taped as well.  Then during tutorial (after 2nd period), we had a pep rally in the gym.  This was the most spirited pep rally I have seen yet!

 I will now post the link so you can check it out. :) Make sure to look at the clips underneath, there are 3!

Weight Watcher's Update

Well it's been a while, 6 weeks to be exact since you heard from me.  I am currently a very busy girl with football and work, but I'll catch you up on that later.
First let's talk about Weight Watchers.  I have been going faithfully for 19 weeks now! I skipped one week due to vacation, but I actually came back to lose some weight! I am currently only down about 7 pounds (I lost two and then gained two back to back).  I have been "good" for the most part and it seems when I've been "bad" I end up losing more weight! Weird I know, but I don't let myself get into any bad habits.  I keep having the common "up one week, down another" but it is different this time.  For those of you who don't know, this isn't my first time at WW.  I have done it before but never for this long.  I am determined to keep trying to lose weight because not only do I want to be healthy, but I'm turning 30 next year and I need to look FABULOUS!!! Oh yea and my brother is getting married and I need to look cute.  :)

So the reason I am rambling about WW is because of the "Hottie" award.  I received it back in July for the Wednesday night meeting (which I attend sometimes), but I'm a regular Tuesday night girl.  I actually received it last week and I will leave you with my entry into the Tuesday Night Hottie Book. :)

Hey everyone!                                                                                             September 6, 2011

First of all I would like to thank you for making me the “Hottie” this week.  I love reading all of the stories of the other “Hotties” out there; they are inspiring and help me remember that I am not alone in this journey.  I started Weight Watcher’s on May 5^th, with my mom, and I have almost hit my 5%.  It seems like I’m always going up and down, up and down, but I know I’m not alone.  I have been “doing” WW for 18 weeks now and I have almost lost 10 pounds! For some of you this is nothing and for others you can totally understand.  J  At this rate I might lose 20 pounds before my 30^th birthday and my brother’s wedding next year! Did I mention I need to look HOT since I’m in the wedding?! J

            I love coming to the meetings and hearing other people have the same issue as me, and then those of you without this issue, it’s inspiring and exciting to celebrate with you as you lose weight.  I love the Etools on my phone since it’s the only reason I actually track my food.  For those of you just starting out, remember don’t give up and keep on tracking! For those of you that are ‘pros’ at WW, remember to still act like a newbie and don’t slack off!  We’ve all worked too hard to start slacking off now, even if it’s only a couple of pounds lost! Our goal is to be able to go shopping for clothes not because they are too small, but because they are too big!!!! J Keep up the good work everyone and one day I will meet my goal!
