(Yes I am an adult and still get a spring break, gotta love working in schools!) We did absolutly nothing, but thats just what we needed. I have loved just getting to be at home with Frank. Typically I only get to see him for more than an hour a couple days each week. He's a busy bee working full time and going to school full time. Only 56 days until his graduation! I don't know who is more excited ha!<br />
<br />
We've been really thinking lately about what path we are going to be taking together. We both wonder if we've chosen the correct career paths. There may or may not be a big change coming soon. But all that really matters to me is that wherever we go, we go together.Katie Herrerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04870407688824230735noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6843297074902476075.post-41055761745803602102012-03-10T14:19:00.000-08:002012-03-10T14:19:38.871-08:00Do you hear a truck?I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the items I ordered from Express last week.

I promise not to eat junk food until Easter, I wont drink Dr. Pappers...etc. This is okay to an extent, but what you should really be doing is making a change that draws you in closer with God. Instead of giving something up, take something up. Volunteer during Lent, make an effort to pray more, be kinder. What I plan to do is set aside 30 minutes each evening to just read the Bible. I have to admit that I've never just read the entire book straigh through before. I really dont want to go to Heaven one day and explain why I could read 7 Harry Potters and 4 Twilights but couldn't read the 1 book for God....might look bad. <br />

When you're in your teens and early 20's you can seriously eat anything without gaining a pound. How many late night Taco Bell runs did we make while living at the Tri Delt house? I would hear, enjoy that metabolism while it lasts Katie, in my mind I thought...psh I'll never loose it. Welp, its gone. At least its slowed down considerably. Now I actually have to watch what I eat and it sucks. I've managed to cut out fast food completely (I will not tell a lie, I had Rosas Friday because I was too sick to cook.) I also had a 24 hour membership, but I never went. (Like I'm going to drive the whole mile and a half down Bryant Irvin.) I am more of an at home fitness girl. My latest addiction is POPilates. The woman who runs the site is so fun, and talks about random things during the really rough exercises so you don't think about the pain. <br />

Nothing too serious right? <br />
<br />
Friday 5:00 AM- Work up half dead. Not really, but miserable for sure.<br />
<br />
I love taking care of people and babying my husband or dog when they are under the weather. When I am sick, I then take over the role as the world's biggest baby. I think I told Frank I was dying like 6 times already. He's such a good sport. He rubs my feet, makes my drinks, buys me meds and takes care of the chores. <br />
<br />
I credit him, Nyquil, and the Harry Potter marathon for my recovery.Katie Herrerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04870407688824230735noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6843297074902476075.post-36079811659012427332012-01-27T12:00:00.000-08:002012-01-27T12:00:04.436-08:00The Best Days of Our LivesMy Dad always has the best stories. This guy has really lived. Therefore, he also is the best person to go to for adivce or encouragement. He and my mom started off very humbly, living in an old farm house on his grand-dad's land. (my family is very country). They didn't have very much at all when they started out, having married at age 18 and 19. It was really hard, but he said looking back those were some of the greatest days of his life. <br />
<br />
These words have never rang more truely than now. I am living them myself (except I live in a nice apartment rather than an old farmhouse whoes pipes would freeze in the winter). Marrying before your career is established is a scary thing. My husband works 5 nights a week, then gets up at goes to class full time in the afternoon. I work every day as a substitute teacher. I'm also responsible for preparing every meal we eat, and all household duties. Putting it that way, it doesn't sound like much, but funny how a little cooking and cleaning can take up your entire evening. <br />
<br />
Working a lot, and living on a small budget leaves little room for extras like dinner dates, movies, vacations etc. Before we were married we would always be out doing one thing or another. Now we love spending our precious little free time together just enjoying eachother's company. And you know what? I love it. We have grown to appreciate eachother on a whole new level. Franks works his butt off 24/7 to provide for us and ensure our future, and yet he calls me his "super woman" for the small stuff I take care of. I see couples who are constantly going out to dinner, on vacation going going and going. This is great if you can afford it, but I feel like taking those out of our lives have taught us how to appreciate the little things in life. And knowing that we can have a fantastic time just watching random Jenna Marbles youtube videos together and just feeling complete is why these are the bet days of our lives.Katie Herrerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04870407688824230735noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6843297074902476075.post-59811450045360964142012-01-26T19:14:00.000-08:002012-01-26T19:14:36.365-08:00Apartment LivinI feel like even though we live in a very nice apartment, I keep noticing weird quirky things about it...<br />
<br />
This weeks oddity: I always can tell when our neighbors are pooping. The walls are very thin, and the two master bathrooms must share a wall because I can always hear when their "poop fan" goes on. We don't really ever use that thing. so I'm not sure if they know us as intimately as we know them. Awkward.<br />

This means I am prone to glowingly light skin. Im talking PALE. Back in highschool somone once told me that I must sweat milk....I'm white. Get the picture? Living in Texas I am surrounded by gorgeous bronzed skinned people all the time. My husband is hispanic and has amazing skin, along with his whole family. I have been using everything, tanning beds, lotions, sprays...you name it. <br />
<br />
Well I've finally decided...I don't care anymore. Call me Casper, because I'm going to be ghostly white. I don't care. I'm over the whole trying to be tanned deal. I'd rather be pasty now and have baby smooth skin at 40, than be like all those tanned skinned girls now who will look like old leather sofas when they're 40. There I said it. <br />

Fashion blogs, foodie blogs and personal ones. I guess its finally time I join the blogging world. I have such an incredible life, and thank God for each morning he gives me. This past year I have gone through several big changes...converting to Catholicism, graduating from college, and marrying the love of my life. Life is good. <br />
<br />
My husband started laughing when he saw that I am starting a blog, his excuse is that I'm just "cute". I live and interesting, beautiful life and I'm going to share it with the world darn it! Will the world read about it? Probably not.... but I can still share it. But I have noticed that the blogs/facebooks that I enjoying looking at all belong to happy upbeat people. It makes me happy to witness another's happiness. So, if anyone else is like this, and loves sappy lovey pictures, recipes/home projects, random facts, adorable doggie pictures then do yourself a favor and read me :) I promise to put a smile on your face. Maria de la Torre...we having a bloggers pact so I expect to be on your favorites bar. <br />
<br />
To make good on my promise feast your eyes on this cuteness buffet:<br />
