North Carolina....Mountains to Coast Ride

My dad and step-mom are doing an amazing thing this week.

Something I hope Josh and I could participate in someday.

They are doing a Mountain to Coast bike ride across North Carolina.

They are riding anywhere from 70-80 miles a day...for 7 days

Tent camping at their rest stops each night!

you can go here is a link to the event

I tell you this; to tell you another story...

Tonight the girls and I went for a walk in the neighborhood

I was walking at a "workout pace"

Josh was running with the pup

(btw, I call all our dogs pups even though they are 6+ years old)

The girls were riding their bikes

Our neighborhood is ONLY 2.1 miles

They were in tears and full of complaints 1\2 way though...but they did finish!

So, way to go babes!

But to their defense we do have what feels like constant rolling hills in our neighborhood!

But I couldn't help but think about the miles that my parents put in today, HA!

So major kudos goes out to my parents and the amazing journey that they are on this week!!

14 Weeks

Or 98 Days

Or 2,352 Hours

Or 141,120 Minutes

OR....8,467,200 Seconds

is the countdown til I start Nursing School!!!

But, Who's counting??!!

Good News!

Do you remember this post? 

Well...

Hallelujah!!

I was accepted into the nursing program!!

To say I was excited to open that letter up would be a total understatement

I was suppose to get the letter by September 30th

I received it on September 3rd

I'm so glad they saved me the agony of having to wait a whole other month!

I've got so many little details that I have to work out

between now and December!

I'm excited and nervous....

but excited MORE than nervous!!

Pinterest?

Have you hear of Pinterest?

It's a website

http://www.pinterest.com/

It's kinda like Twitter...

well, not really, except in the sense that you

"Follow" other people

The website is basically a place for your to "pin"

all of your likes, loves, wants, wishes, etc

anywhere from clothes and jewelry

to awesome architecture, like whimsical treehouses

to the basic kitchen essentials and recipes

to funny quotes and pictures

The pictures that are "pinned" to your board

link back to a website or blog

basically the original source of the "pin"

Confusing??!!

click on the link and give a whirl

you'll be addicted soon enough! 

It's really a great time waster

but a place to get GREAT ideas.

It can be overwhelming

but so addictive!

I've already learned how to do something new with my hair

or something new to "try"

Sock Bun Curls

Awesome!!

Harbins Park Fun!

A Day at Zoo Atlanta

Here is a slide show of our trip to Zoo Atlanta this past Saturday, June 6, 2009! It was a great day, weather was perfect~It was a little overcasted when we first arrived and cool, and then became blazing hot by the time we were leaving! We grabbed a bit for dinner then got us some Italian Ice from Rita's in Lawrenceville! FUN!!
