30 Day Blog Challenge with Katie's Journey: Day 1

-
I'm a little delayed starting this, but at least I'm starting it! :) :)

Katie's Journey is doing a link up for 30 days with various topics for you to write about so that others can get to know you! :)

Day 1 is Introduce, Recent Picture, and 15 Interesting Facts


In case you didn't guess from the title, I'm a graduate student married to a firefighter! :)  We live in an On-Campus Residence Hall with about 100 undergraduate females.  I'll be taking my comprehensive exams for my Master's Degree in Exercise Science-Biomechanics next semester and assuming I pass those I'll start my Doctorate program in Exercise Science-Motor Behavior.  Why the two different specializations? Oh, because I love studying both areas!! :)  My husband is majoring in Exercise Science as well and is highly considering a double major in Nutrition! :)


15 random facts....

  1. I met that guy in the picture with me (from our one year anniversary) in the tenth grade.
  2. We started dating in the eleventh grade. (That counts as 2 different facts, right?) :)
  3. I'm the oldest of three girls.
  4. My favorite outfit is a t-shirt, jeans, and my Chaco flip-flops. (with a sweatshirt if it's getting chilly!!)
  5. Anytime I'm sick, my favorite thing to eat is a big bowl of Cream of Chicken soup.
  6. I could drink orange juice all day!!
  7. I love that the weather is just to the point to where I can ride my bike to class and back!
  8. I'm incredibly forgetful...I always remember what I forget but at the most inconvenient times. (Example: for the last two months I've been trying to remember to schedule an eye doctor's appointment.  I can never remember to schedule it until after the eye doctor closes or on the weekends.  One day I'll remember I guess!
  9. Speaking of eyes, I feel like I've got some crazy vision!  Without glasses or contacts, I can see less than a foot in front of me with my left eye, and about two feet in front of me with my right eye.  Imagine the cross-eyed feelings there! hahah! :)
  10. I love to speak French! (I need more people to practice talking to me!!) :)
  11. My ears aren't pierced.  I'm kinda chicken and I pretty much know I would just forget to wear them (remember, I'm forgetful!!!)
  12. I used to dance in high school! :) I loved it and I miss it!
  13. I love watching wedding planning shows, even though shows like Bidezillas just make me mad because the girls just don't know how to act!
  14. I can't wait to be a mom, but I'm going to unless God has a different plan! :)
  15. I have lots of plans to design my own clothes.  Don't know if I would sell them, but I would at least make them and wear them! :)

My Cleaning Schedule

1/8/2024 Update! I wrote this post 12 years ago!! Every spring and every January, my blog (that I don't update nearly often enough!) gets a lot of attention on this post about a simple cleaning plan! That makes a lot of sense though, right? That said, I noticed while doing laundry this week that it's time to buy some fresh microfiber towels for us to use for wiping down surfaces. While I'm shopping, I'm going to make a list here of some of our go-to cleaning supplies that you can find online. Microfiber Cleaning Cloths  - I use these for just about everything. I've had more and less expensive ones over the years, but I find as long as I wash them separate from any lint towels, they hold up well for a few years. Glass Spray Bottles  - I have one (and need more!). I like to dilute a little castile soap or dish soap in one for the boys to help clean surfaces. Currently, I have homemade pine cleaner in mine. I put a bunch of fresh pine straw in a jar, filled it with vin

What's going on in Summer 2024?

When school is out for all our friends, we're always looking for something fun to do together at one of our houses or around town. I've been putting together a list of fun events in our area (Jefferson/Blount/Walker/Cullman counties) so we will never be bored! There's no way we can be at all of these, but I'm keeping them on my radar. If you know of something else that I've missed, leave it in the comments. I'll be updating this post as I find out more information on events and adding registration links as they are available, so make sure to check back often! At the bottom of this post, you'll find a calendar you can download and print for the months of June and July! :)

Meal Plan for this Week

-

 I'm going to try to start posting my meal plans each week....mostly so I can refer back to them later! If you want to see all my previous meal plans (some are monthly, some are weekly), you can see them here . Future ones will be tagged too if you want to bookmark that link. I always make sure to include some meals designated for leftovers to hopefully reduce the chance of forgetting about food in the back of the fridge. Breakfasts tend to switch between cereal & oatmeal or granola, with the occasional muffins or cinnamon rolls thrown in. As everyone is waking up, they can fix their breakfast with some coffee or hot cocoa, and pick out a book or quiet activity like coloring to do while eating while we wait for the day to get started.
