Macaroni Noodles

I was looking at my blog for the first time in a month laughing at one of my top things. Can you guess it? I said I was happy gas was in the $3.30's! HA! Gas is $1.92 now and I couldn't be happier. I cant fill my tank for under twenty dollars, Im still shocked when it stops before it even hits twenty.

Things have been rough lately. I have had my ups and downs that for sure. I don't come from the greatest family. Sometimes I think they try but I don't know how much more effort they could put forth. I have done really well with coping with it all and I have been going 10 months strong. I have to count on other people sometime to hold me up when I get weak but I think I am finally realizing I can't do it all on my own.

I have been getting back into the depths of my relationship with Christ as well. I began having one on one time again and it's been really good for me. I don't know why but sometimes I just walk away until I turn around and run right back.

I have finished my college applications. I only applies to two schools, my top choice and my back up--UK and UofL. I pray that this time next year I will be in Lexington, the best city ever, and at UK. It has everything I want. I am not compromising anything for it. UofL I would be but hopefully I can make UK work out. I have quite a few scholarships I'm applying for and I really need to get a few of them. I also am taking the ACT again in December and really need to pull 3 points higher, a 28. This would really help ease the financial burden on my parents because $15,800 is no where near what I call cheap.

I have been trying to get healthy lately. I have been at it for 2 weeks now and so far so good. I have made a lot of changes to my eating habits and what I eat. I also joined Curves which has been a tremendous step for me. It kicks my butt but it will make me better for it. I have a long way to go but so far I have lost 2.5 lbs. I don't want to get skinny although being able to see a single digit on jeans again would be nice and fitting into a pair of hollister jeans would be out of this world. But all I know if that I want to look and feel good. I would kill to be able to buy a bikini when its swimsuit season, I never have bought one but for now Im a long way a way. I am taking it one 10 lbs block at a time. I am hoping to look and feel great at prom and graduation and in a 1 piece when I lifegaurd next summer. Im not asking for the perfect body or abs I just know I can do this and I need to do this. I love doing outdoor activities I need to be more active. I don't exactly have the best family medical history, plus I don't want to give my kids the start I got off to.

Also I would love to find a guy who is very much an outdoors person. Rapelling, skiing, whitewater rafting, hiking, camping, kayaking, and more. I am all about the outdoors. I don't get to do it enough but I love it when I do. When I am in shape I will be able to do it more and have a better time with it. I also love most sports anyway. Lacrosse, football, soccer, baseball, basketball, tennis. I am a pretty big sports buff. I also love action movies because of the adrenaline rush. Anything that gives you an adrenaline rush Im game for. I would love to try sky diving sometime but for now I just stick to the biggest, baddest rollar coasters I can find at amusement parks. I don't do the sissy rides I just do rollar coasters and the water park.

The love life is still at a 0 but I am okay with that. Not completely of course but I love this year at school. I have really branched out and became friends with a lot of guys. That has been...interesting. I say hi to so many people when I walk through the halls its amazing. This year is definitely the best. I can't wait for it to be over so I can start UK but at the same time I don't want to grow up. I am alright with the single factor because I don't want it to be with someone random, I want that adventurous outsdoors guy which I doubt Ill meet 'til I get in shape and become more outdoorsy and adventurous. I also probably won't meet him until college, which is fine by me since I didn't really want to be tied down for my senior year anyway. The one thing I do worry about though is...prom date. That will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

I don't think anything else really exciting has happened. I am really going to try to update this more but no garuntees I stay pretty busy. Wish me luck & I'll keep you guys updates.
