Here I am again!

So obviously I have gone on yet another hiatus. I am glad to be back though and wanted to share my new year's resolutions even though they are a bit late and catch you up on what I have been up to the last month or so!

December 13 was our 2 year anniversary- can't believe it has already been that long and at the same time it seems like we have been married longer. Can't really explain that. It has been the best 2 years of my life, I am so blessed to be married to a man who loves the Lord first, which makes him love me in a way I never knew was possible. Faults, extra pounds and all of my weirdness- I am so blessed. Anniversaries always make you look back on the beginning and how far you have come- our anniversary always makes me remember who I was before Ryan, which is not something I like to think of very often. A few words that come to mind are: confused, distant from God, insecure-this is an understatement, incomplete. When I first met Ryan I had recently decided to take a hiatus from dating and figure out who I was and where I went wrong with my relationship with God. Thankfully Phi Lamb granted me some amazing, Godly girls who led me back to the Lord and also to Ryan. I have said it before but when I saw Ryan I unexplainably knew he was it for me. Once we started becoming friends I thought that I was unworthy of being with such a Godly guy. I had dated Christian guys before but Ryan knew he wanted to do ministry and obviously loved the Lord more than any other guy I knew. It was amazing just to see a glimpse of how passionate he was about serving the Lord. I remember thinking once we started dating that I didn't deserve him and that one day he would wake up and realize he could do better. As cheesy as it sounds every morning I get to wake-up being married to him is another day I don't deserve but I am so THANKFUL the Lord has given him to me to guide me, make me laugh and love me unconditionally and so completely. I don't know why God chose me to be with him but i hope that I will never take him for grantit and that we will continue to lift each other up and closer to the Lord. The past 8 months being apart of his ministry has been such a blast and a serious season of growth for us both. Okay, i will stop with the cheese now... next subject.

Christmas was great, we spent a few days in Dallas and then got to actually wake-up at our own house Christmas morning for the 1st time since we have been married. LOVED IT. This was by far the most relaxing Christmas we have had since marriage, the week after Christmas we went on a mini vacation to San Antonio- it was so fun! We hit all of the tourist spots, Alamo, Wax Museum, River Walk and shopping. We stayed at one of my favorite hotels- Hotel Valencia. We ate tons of great mexican food, ordered room service dessert in the middle of the night and did alot of laughing. It was great to just get away for a few days by ourselves.

New Years was so fun this year as well! We hung out with our small group and had great food, a white elephant gift exchange- I got Crate and Barrel glasses and Champagne- definately lucked out!! We stayed up until all hours of the night just hanging out and having fun- we are so thankful for our new friendships, its great having people who are in the same chapter in life! Don't get me wrong, all of my friends are amazing no matter what chapter of life they are in but its important to have ones to talk about newlywed life etc!

Speaking of New Years, here are a few of my resolutions!

1. Loose weight. 2010 held alot of weight gain for me. Between taking all sorts of meds for my migrains that had weight gain as a side effect and switching to a stay at home job, struggling with lonliness and just not being as healthy as I have been in the past I have a long way to go! I am also worried that I might be experiencing some thyroid problems. I am going to be going to the doctor soon to find out a status- hopefully it won't be the case! I am back on WW and Ryan and I are starting to exercise as much as possible.

2. Run. We are planning to do the Warrior Dash in March, we have not signed-up yet simply because we want to make sure we can run at least a mile without stopping before paying all of that money and Ryan has had a foot injury that we finally got an xray on today from Judo. We want to make sure there are no broken bones before we start into full blown training.

3. Save more money. We have been blessed that we are living comfortably. We were very conservative with the home we bought so that we could try to become debt free in the next few years and start some serious saving so that in a few years we will have enough money for a down payment for a larger house for when we want to have kids. The problem is that sometimes it's hard saving because we want to travel and do fun things all the time but we have decided to make a conscious effort to save as much as possible.

What are your new year's resolutions?? I would love to hear them! Also, any advice on running would be much appreciated!!

My Dog... the hero

I have had a very interesting day today. I have had a super busy day with work and so I let Scout spend most of his morning outside playing in the gorgeous weather. I look outside to check on him real quick and realize he has invited a friend over because there are two dogs in my backyard. What the crap?? Here is stranger dog:

I call Scout in you know for an explanation and realize his feet are covered in dirt. What? I go outside and stranger dog makes a mad dash to the back corner of our fence where we have no neighbors-one of the things I love about our house! Then stranger dog tries to go out the hole she has obviously come from but I caught her before she made it. She is adorable, sweet and shaking from being scared and cold. Still confused as to why she is in my yard I go ahead and offer her food and pet her and then it dawns on me... a friend of mine on Facebook had put on her status a few days ago that her cousin had lost her dog in our neighborhood and this dog totally matches the description. I put a clay pot on top of the whole and walk around to the other side of the fence and realize stranger dog dug one side and Scout dug the other- Scout somehow knew she needed help so he just invited her over via the fence...

I made a few calls, sent pictures and Kourtnie and Ashley headed over to pick-up "Elsie" Scout's new bff. I am so glad that Elsie made it home safely. Scout cried at the back door once she left- he was obviously a fan of saving her life. I already knew Scout was the cutest, sweetest, smartest, craziest dog on the planet- apparently he also helps lost dogs find their way home. All in a day's work for Rescue Dog Scout. In the word's of my bestie Raven , "He's such a rescue dog, I mean couldn't you just see him in a fire fighter suit??" Honestly, I definately could! Haha I love you Scout!

So Thankful...

I wish that I listed everything that I am thankful for everyday, it would probably make any problems I might be going through seem non-existent. However, the thing that I love most about Thanksgiving- even beyond all of the fantastic food which I wait for all year long is the way that families all come together, despite their differences and celebrate all they have been given.

I have a wonderful family. We are not perfect by any means but I feel so blessed to be a part of both the Qualls and Jasper clans. This year we split the holiday, we spent Wednesday and the morning until about 11 with the Jaspers in Austin and then headed back to Houston for the last afternoon/night with the Qualls and Ryan's mom. It was a great day and the good food was flowing! Here are just a few things I am thankful for this year...

1. The way my mom decorates the house for the holidays- it's something I look forward to every year, she always does a great job and is the best host in the world.
2. corn casserole- one of my t-giving favs! My mom makes it every year
3. broccoli- cheese casserole- my other fav! my Nana has this recipe perfected!
4. Scout. He is such a crazy dog and brings so much happiness to my life!
5. Pedicures- i know why they end in the word "cure" they cure every stress in life. While I was in FW visiting my girls Raven and I spend the weekend doing all the things we love doing together- jean shopping, pedis and manis, watching movies and eating great food! in our book it was a completely satisfying weekend- love my girls!
6. Ryan. He loves me, crazy, stubborn and all! I am so blessed by him and lucky to have found him.
7. FRIENDS!! I have been blessed beyond what I deserve with new and old friends alike. This is something that if you have read my blog know that I have struggled with- after loosing a close friendship I was in a very difficult time and the Lord has been so faithful to me. Although it has not shown to be His will that the relationship is mended at this time He has constantly reminded me that what he takes away he gives back- a million times more! I have the best friends in the world- if you think you have better friends than me, you are wrong. :-)
8. Our house! I absolutely love living in our house, I really enjoy entertaining and love that we have been able to do it quite a few times since moving in. We have been so blessed by owning such a new home that is perfect for our chapter in life. We didn't think owning a home would happen so soon and I am so thankful that it did and that it hasn't been a financial struggle for us. So many people are loosing their homes in this economy ad we don't take ours for granted at all- we don't deserve it but thank God he has chosen to give it to us!
9. Moving back to Houston. The last few months have been up and down about our new chapter- obviously I am happy to be close to our family and some amazing friends but there are definitely days I miss Fort Worth. The thing I am most thankful for is the peace of knowing we are in God's will. There is no doubt in my mind that we were supposed to move back and join FBC. Watching Ryan serve on staff has made me fall deeper in love with him than I was before. Serving alongside of him when I am able to is more rewarding and freeing than anything I have ever done.
10. A good pair of jeans. There is nothing more important in a wardrobe than a good pair of jeans. I have been lucky to find 2 new pairs for the holidays- this makes me smile.
11. My new Jimmy Choo purse from my generous Mom-in-Law. She is always blessing us with things that she somehow knew we needed or wanted. I have been needing a new purse but didn't want to spend the money on it with the holidays around the corner and without my ever telling her this she surprised me with the cutest bag yesterday!!
12. Christmas trees! I love Christmas time, especially decorated trees- last year we had a mini tree because our place didn't really have space for a full size tree. This year we are getting a real tree and I couldn't be more excited!
13. My job- I am so lucky to be in a job that I love and have such great co-workers.
14. Cold weather!! I am so happy that its freezing outside right now- makes me excited for Christmas and new years!
15. Weight Watchers- I am back on the plan and have lost about 9 pounds, granted with the holidays I will have quite a few cheat days and that is what I love most about it. I am officially making an effort to loose a lot of weight- I have been carrying extra pounds for way too long. I will try to keep the blog updated with my progress!

Here are a few pics from Thanksgiving! What are you thankful for this year??

Um, Hello Blog!

So i have started 5 different blogs since my hiatus. I have finished not a single one... I have alot to post but honestly don't know where to start now that it has been so long and so many blogworthy things have happened but here I sit... blabbing about what I should blab about... here is one of the 5 that i am going to attempt to finish right now!

I am going to just start with Halloween because it is one of my favorite days- simply because I love wearing costumes, I LOVE chocolate and my absolute favorite thing- passing out candy to kids in costume! Well, this year gave me all of those things at the same time! To be honest I was kind of thinking this year would pale in comparison to the previous 2 Halloweens- last year I went with my besties and our group to a haunted corn maze- it was such a blast!! The year before Ryan and I had our only wedding shower on Halloween- it was so much fun celebrating our relationship in costume with our closest friends. Anyway, back to this year... I took the day off on Friday and Ryan and I headed to Huntsville to visit the camp we went this past weekend for JR High retreat- we made a promo video filmed by my mad skills and then went to lunch at our favorite place from college- Five Loaves. I had my chicken quesadillas with a cup of Enchilada soup which was so thankful is still the Friday soup special. My stomach has not been that happy since graduation, over 3 years ago. We also made a trip to Austin Hall where our wedding reception, engagement and the 1st time we met happened and to the bookstore to load up on new t-shirts, stickers for our cars and even a collar for Scout! It was so fun walking down memory lane- I am so blessed to have met my Ryan over 6 years ago- he changed my life the moment I saw him.

Saturday one of my besties Lindsee and I headed back up to Huntsville to see our great friends Hannah, Meredith, Heather and Laura. We had lunch at Farmhouse- our old favorite and spent the afternoon with a little boutique shopping and seeing Hannah and Heather's adorable house- I have not laughed and been so blessed by great girl time with these amazing friends in a while so it was so fun! Normally when I am with these girls I take 589 pictures but somehow I only ended up with one, here is my Lindsee and I- love you girl!

Linds and I headed back to the woodlands and I headed over to our friends Elyse and Aron's house to prepare for our small group's halloween party! Our small group has been such an awesome addition to our life! It's so great having friends in our same chapter of life, at our church who are all God-driven and a blast to be with. The party was so fun with TONS of great food, fun and decor! Ryan and I were Mr. and Mrs.Potato Head, the other couples that came were Lois and Peter Griffin of Family Guy, Rodeo Clowns, The Princess and the P and Nerds! Here are a few pictures of our night:


Sunday was a day that we knew was going to be crazy... however it ended up being one of the busiest days of our lives! After church we headed for a quick lunch that was so weird. Ryan and I have been doing the Daniel Fast with a few people from the Youth staff so we have a strict diet- Luckily, Tortugas has these amazing veggie fajitas that I have loved for years so we headed there... the hostest being the professional that she was yelled to a waiter about where to put us and the waiter answered back "don't put them in my section" - we were feeling very welcomed. The hostess then proceeded to put us at a table that prohibited Ryan and I from sitting across from one another because it was practically on top of a family of 37 people- yes we were sitting side by side facing a long table of strangers. my response as she tried to seat us "UM is it possible to seat us elsewhere because it'd be kind of weird sitting here" her answer "What?" me again- "Can we sit at another table because we can't pull out any of the chairs across from one another..." her- "What chair ma'am?" me "All of them... do you have any other tables??" her- "this is all we have" me- "Ok..." we sit. I stare at the other 67 empty tables in the place. Ryan and I laugh hysterically about the fact that we were at a family reunion and didn't know the other people at our table... Our waiter enters... I immediately tell him we are moving. Hostess glares at us. WEIRD! Fajitas come and they were wonderful.

Right after lunch we headed on a search for 250 hot dog buns. We went to Sam's the Friday before and picked up 250 hot dogs to be told a church had cleaned all of the Sam's in the Houston area out of their hot dog buns. Cool... We are a church with the same plan. After an HEB run we were armed with 2 buggy fulls of hot dog buns and fixings for our volunteers for Trunk or Treat. We headed to the church, I dropped Ryan off and then went to our house to let our dog and my sister's dog we were babysitting out, grabbed our costumes and decorations for our car and headed back to the church- aided Ryan in cooking 250 hot dogs and got everything ready on the tables, then we finally started on our car which we didn't have much of a game plan for other than that it would be Toy Story since we were the Potato Heads. I had collected all of my cousin's Toy Story paraphernalia and it actually turned out pretty cute for the 16 minutes we had to decorate and throw our costumes on before everyone started to arrive. Trunk or Treat was a blast! I loved it!

I am going to skip this past week and just tell you about 2 weekends ago because this post is already super long. Ryan and I have been looking forward to November 5-7 for months, it was his jr-high retreat called "Fearless." Ryan wrote all of his material, created quiet times and booklets for the kids and has been preparing for it for quite some time now. It was based on both present day martyrs and those in our history- all people who lost their lives for Christ. I have to say that I have never been more proud of Ryan than I was this weekend. I've always LOVED listening to his sermons but this weekend was one of those times that I just sat back while he taught in amazement that I am the girl he chose to spend his life with, the girl who gets to share in his ministry. Our 7th and 8th graders could not be more awesome. We had a group of 30 head to a camp called Carolina Creek near H-ville. Ryan and I both know people who are on staff there and were so impressed with how nice the cabins were along with the rest of the facilities, the counselors who are so fantastic and the activities. Our students had so much fun and so did we! We did a high ropes course which included an activity called "Tree Tops" which was an obstacle course high in the air and a 1,000 foot long zip line- needless to say it was so much fun! I had never done a zip line and I can't believe I have been missing out on something so awesome! I could post a few of the 7,483 pictures but i am just tired of uploading and spacing everything out so I am just not going to.

This past weekend was welcomed with pure exhaustion and me being taken over by my allergies but we still managed to go on a date Friday night to a new pizza place in Market Street and then to the movies to see the Social Network. It Was really interesting to hear how Facebook was created, not my favorite movie by any means but interesting. Saturday we slept in and relaxed and then headed to the Nutcracker Market in downtown Houston at the Reliant Center. I WILL NEVER GO TO THE NUTCRACKER MARKET AGAIN! Although there were some cute things, I even got a new super cute purse it was too over-whelming and over-priced. I was hoping to get a few Christmas decorations and maybe a Christmas present or two but we ended up walking away with 2 jars of jelly and a purse. SERIOUSLY? I did have tons of fun with my family though, my parents,sister and bro-in-law went along with us so it was fun trying all the samples and wandering around. I also got to run into a million people I knew so that was good too! After the shopping spree we headed to Spanish Village, this great Mexican food place that my parents have been going to since they started dating in high school- I had my usual cheese enchilada and tamale and enjoyed some great chips and salsa too!

I am getting pretty excited about this coming weekend, Ryan is leaving Wednesday for a wedding he is in that is in Georgia. Normally I would obviously be going with him but he has to be at a youth conference in Nashville the day after the wedding (SO JEALOUS!!) and so we decided to save the money since we wouldn't really be able to spend much time together since he will be super busy with groomsman duties and then flying out to Nashville so instead I am heading north to Fort Worth to see my besties Katie and Raven! This will fill my heart with happiness as I miss Ryan like the desert misses the rain for the 6 days we will be apart. I can't wait to see my girls- it has been over a month which is crazy because for the last 2 years I was 1. living down the hall with Raven before I got married 2. then I moved across the street post wedding 3. Then we lived a block away the rest of the time we were in Fort Worth. Obviously I saw them a few times a week so I have been suffering from separation anxiety! OK, well thanks for reading this post for the last 62 hours. I hope you all have a great thanksgiving, I plan to have my next blog be all about the great food I will be partaking in.

I am loving all the girl time I've had lately!

the past few weeks i have been so lucky to be able to cash in on some great girl time!
it was definately needed and i loved every second of it :-)

Raven has come to visit- twice and i got to see her both times, seriously makes my heart happy because there is a Raven and Katie shaped void in my life... it has been there since I moved away for FW!

Lindsee and I have been able to see each other- this is a dream come true because I have missed living closer to this girl! We have been trying to do lunch every few weeks and i got to see her on one of raven's visits so yay for that!!

Laura and I have been able to go on a few double dates together- this does my heart good. It's hard to find couples that are compatible for both of you and we love our sanders!!

I have been able to make some new friends because of our church, we joined a small group and I am so looking forward to these new friendships. the 6 other girls are so sweet and I am thankful for them! it's refreshing to have friends in the same chapter of life as you!!

Last night I had dinner with my TWFG girls- we worked together for years and all moved on around the same time- we have such a great bond that I just love!

I have also been able to spend time with my friend Angela recently who had a baby a few months ago- we had ourselves a girl's afternoon that I just loved :-)

Last but certainly not least I have been able to spend tons of time with my Mom and sis since being back- i LOVE this!! it's great to have the qualls girls together again :-)

I love all of my girls, those of you that I haven't seen lately- let's change that!

My dog is on a schedule...

I love our dog Scout- if you know me at all or have read previous posts you know this. He is a snugly, curly, sweet white dog that we rescued back in December from the SPCA. He is our child and we spoil him rotten.However, I do not want precious little Scout to turn into a bratty dog so we try to discipline him and this process has been pretty hilarious- it really does make us feel like his parents.

Well, for starters Scout has been through a lot of change- whoever had him when he was born deserted him, he spent time at the SPCA until we met him then he moved into our old duplex back in Fort Worth for 2 days until we moved into our old apartment. Then we lived in our apartment for 5 months until Ryan got the new job and we picked up in a hurry and moved to The Woodlands. We lived with my parents for the 30 days it took our house to FINALLY close and he learned to love Bella, my parents dog and his grandparents. We finally moved into our house and he had his first yard.

Since moving Ryan and I have been doing a lot of traveling, meaning we have to leave Scout with family members- we have only gone on one vacation, the rest were for work so we aren't just leaving him behind because we want to. Most recently he stayed with my mother-in-law while Ryan and I went with my family to Mississippi for a funeral. Ryan just so happened to get the worst stomach virus in the world while in the car on the way home- let me remind you the 8 hr trip ride home so he was absolutely miserable by the time we got back, poor thing. So, when Scout came home things weren't like they normally were- you know all about him since I was trying to make sure Ryan was going to make it through the night. Although I hugged him and played with him as soon as we walked in the door Ryan went straight to bed without even saying hi and I don't think Scout like this. The next day I was swamped with work and Ryan was still sick and then the following day we both had a youth group function so he was here all day alone. He really did not like this. Then, lovely Sunday morning I got up- sick with the terrible stomach virus and was in bed- ALL day. I have never slept more in one sitting in my life. I have never felt like I was going to die like I did that day. TERRIBLE. Well, the good thing about this day is that Scout apparently was very lethargic himself and laid in bed with me all day and it was sweet. He is seriously the sweetest dog in the world but he does have his bratty tendencies...

This brings me to my next section... Scout's bratty tendencies. Let me just tell you what all this moving around and staying at other people's houses this summer has done to our precious dog. He started chewing again for some reason. He just turned a year on July 4th so he was really young when we got him but we were able to break him of this habit and then for some reason in the last few weeks it has started up again- what is going on?? He has chewed up a few pairs of my shoes, one of Ryan's hats and anything else that is mistakenly left on the couch or floor. He even got a pack of gum out of my purse and chewed it up. When I found him he was chewing on a piece while sitting on the couch watching cartoons. WHAT?? OK so i put the TV on for him but he was seriously sitting like a man on that couch!

Seeing that I work from home he doesn't have to spend very much time alone- when we were in the apartment there were some days that I just had to put him out on the balcony for a little while because 24 hours of anybody is a bit much. I know, I am a terrible mom. However, since we have the house now I really thought it wouldn't be as big of a problem. What I didn't think about was the scorching heat that graces Houston 363 days of the year- the other 2 are unbearably cold. I am not going to put little Scout out in the back yard for longer than a few minutes because his fluffy, curly hair makes him over-heat. Seriously. He will come into the house and pant for a good hour if he is out there for even 30 minutes.

If I let him hang-out in my office with me for too long he drives me nutty, he scratches on my legs trying to get in my lap, he tries to get into my files etc. So spending my work day with him right under me all day is not an option.

Well, I strongly feel that he is acting out because of lack of structure and consistency. Ryan laughs when I talk about this but it's so true! He needs a schedule just like the rest of us so I have created one for him. When I get up he gets out of bed and stretches while I go to the restroom to brush my teeth etc. Then, we walk to the back door, he goes outside to do his business while I go ahead and get his food and water ready. Then I get my banana or yogurt and we eat together in the kitchen. Then, it's off to the shower for me and he comes along and has his 1st morning nap. While I am getting dressed etc he plays- runs all around the house, brings out all of his toys etc. Then I go to the office while he plays for about an hour or so on his own. In the meantime I have moved his bed a few quiet toys into the office and placed them under the office window which is his station. Yes, I have stations. Don't judge me. He normally comes in plays a little, lays a little and just hangs-out for a while. He normally spends some time looking out the window and sitting in the other office chair. I work and work until lunch time. We go into the kitchen, he eats his left over breakfast while I cook my lunch and then we normally hang-out on the couch for a few minutes. Then, it's walk time. We walk to our mailbox (it's a community box in our neighborhood) and he is super happy during this time. Then we come back and it is nap time for him and more working for me!

I either finish up work or Ryan gets home and we will move to living room- along with his bed and toys where everything is placed by the entertainment center- his next station. He is really great about trying to keep his toys close to his station once he is done playing with them- it's like he is trying to help me clean them up.

Since moving back to Houston our schedules have become crazy! I used to not have anything going on during the week back in Fort Worth but now we have something almost every night! Sunday nights are Retro, the junior high service that Ryan preaches at and I lead a small group discussion after the service, Monday nights we are free- yay!!, Tuesday nights I have yoga and Ryan has Judo, Wednesday nights Ryan has youth service- this is a night I try to reserve for seeing friends, Thursday nights we have small group and Friday nights we try to spend some time with just us because Saturdays are so busy with weddings, youth events, family events, birthday parties etc. that we really don't get a weekend together. I am not complaining though b/c honestly we have never had a weekend together since being married. Ryan's previous job schedule was TERRIBLE and he worked nights and his weekends were in the middle of the week so the fact that we have Monday and Friday and even Saturdays when something isn't happening is fantastic compared to how it was!

All that being said that Scout spends his alone time now in the guest bathroom. He used to be free to roam but since he destroyed my copy of New Moon it's off to solitary confinement when we aren't here until we feel that we can trust him again.

Well, that's that. An entire post about my dog, his weird behaviors and the way I am trying to correct it- with a schedule. I may as well put a chore calendar up on the fridge next. So far I am keeping my sanity and he seems to be liking it as well... we will see what happens!

Who said I was qualified for this?

Ever feel like a little kid playing dress-up?? This has totally been my life the last few months!

Here are just a few things that happened this summer that have me asking am I qualified for this??

1. I Became an Associate Youth Director's wife.
Let's talk about this for a bit...
I LOVE girls ministry. It has been a passion of mine since my sorority back in college when I really grew in my faith through my friendships. I think mentoring is so important for girls, especially in high school and the fact that I am able to serve alongside my husband is something I feel completely blessed by. I had the blessing of speaking to our girls this summer- I was so nervous but had a blast doing it and I look forward to building deeper relationships with our girls. Ryan is primarily in charge of junior high so those 7th and 8th graders are my focus as well. They are such a fun, sweet group and I am excited to be apart of their lives. Ryan and I both had a "weird moment" this past Saturday when we were driving a van- full of 7th and 8th graders to and from a ropes course. I looked over at Ryan and said "This is weird" we both laughed and he responded with "I feel like we have a van full of our kids right now and I should be wearing a polo and khakis driving this van." Then I said "Who said we were qualified for this??" We had so much fun with them, just listening to their random conversations was hilarious!

2. We bought a house.
I have really been enjoying decorating! We are having a house party in a few weeks with all of our friends and I can't wait! It's great having a yard, attic and a real office! I work from home so this was a great need in my life!

3. I just booked a work trip a few minutes ago...
Let me tell you my itinerary- I am flying from Houston - Dallas on Sun and staying until Wed. Then I am flying from Dallas -Albuquerque for a PE teacher's convention where I will do a presentation in the morning with a co-worker and then go to a luncheon to get to know some of my volunteers. What?? I have been doing this sort of thing for over 2 years at the AHA and gave presentations all the time at my previous job but it still makes me laugh and ask myself "When did I grow-up and get a real job??"

Who said I was qualified for this??

Do any of you feel like this sometimes?
