About Me

My photo
I am a student just trying to graduate and living life. I have a wonderful family, great friends, and an awesome boyfriend. Oh and I have a precious pup that I love so much. I love reading a good book, playing board games/cards, and decorating for anything. Working out makes me feel so much better, but it's a battle everyday. I've been in school for what seems like forever and will finally graduate in May. I am also a firm believer in "Everything Happens for a Reason". All in all as its beens said plenty of times before- I'm not perfect BUT I'm me! :)

Could It Be?!

Today after the gym I had to rush to the store...why?


Yes, to get some TUMS!
I know that all of you know that my birthday is coming up!! ;) ;) I will be turning the big 2-3! So could it be that this is the age where I'm finally defined as old?! This was my first time having to rush to get some Tums before I thought I was going to die, much less just buying Tums.  When my mom told me that I probably needed a Tums I informed her that it was a huge positive for not having any of those in this household!  
So could it be that 23 is the turning age?! I'm sad at the thought of this...
I'm not old.  And probably never will I ever be.  By the time I'm 50, it'll be the new 20! :)
Sigh....

Another life changing moment happened today.  When we go grocery shopping, we usually buy the 5 lb hamburger meat.  It's cheaper. Anyway, I normally just guesstimate on how much is a pound. 
UNTIL TODAY.
Today I saw that there were 1 lb markings on the package designed for you to cut them up pound by pound. Where in the world has this girl been?!  Is this a new thing? Or have I been totally oblivious to the 1 pound markings?!
Oooh 23, I'm so excited to experience you!  New life lessons every day and new medications!  Whoop!
Bring it 23, this girl is ready...=S

& this is life as I know it...

Man Oh Man!

I have a lot to catch up on! Let's start with Mother's Day shall we?
My momma came to Shreveport for Mother's Day! I know what you're thinking...it was Mother's Day and she came to me?! She's crazy.  I had every intention of going to Houston, but she said it was supposed to rain there and decided that she just wanted to come here anyway.  Whatever mom...
Anyway, I was glad she chose to come here because I decided to give her a massage for Mother's Day! I was excited about it because she had never had one.  It was obviously meant to be because I had been calling all week and everyone was booked.  The morning of the Saturday she came, one of the Spas called me and said someone had cancelled!  She said she loved it! 
Trevor and I also took her to her favorite fish place.  Well I say favorite, but she refuses to try any where other than this one fish place Trevor took her to ONE time.  


In the very same weekend, Trevor sold the boat.
............................................
Yes, you read right.  
SOLD
THE
BOAT.
That's all there is to that....I don't have much to say.  I've been pretty heartbroken about it here lately.


BYE BYE BOAT!! :( Weekends on the lake are no more since you left us! 

Let's see...what else has been going on in my life??
Oh yes, last week Trevor noticed that Lailee had seriously been at her ear all day.  She always itches, I think its because she has allergies.  Anyway, he thought she had ear mites.  I said he was crazy.  I googled it and after looking at her ear I had decided that she had an awful ear infection.  I took her into the vet and sure enough an ear infection is what she had.  So now for the past week and for the next few days I've been having to put medicine in her ear.  She loves it so much!  Not...I don't love it either. Her ear stinks, it's greasy, its flaky, it's NASTY! Ready for her medicine to be done with so I can give that stinky girl a bath!  The vet informed me that she couldn't get a bath or go to the groomers until her ear infection was over.

Yesterday Trevor killed snakes!  Yuck!!  Misty called because her dog wouldn't stop barking.  When she looked out her dog was barking at a snake and the neighbors house.  It was a long nasty scary process...to watch.  Ha.  The other lady neighbor ran over there immediately as soon as she saw Trevor and helped him kill it.  As for me...I just watched. :)  Now I'm scared to go outside...


This weekend is Memorial Day weekend.  A big thanks to all of our troops that have served our country!
What are we up to this weekend you ask?? Nada.  Why? Oh because Trevor sold the boat.  Gosh.

Trevor's actually cooking ribs today...they smell really good! I've been ordered to make Angel Food cake today, I still haven't done it.  It's just outta a box....how hard could it be?!
Since we have no boat, I opted to laying out today.  Its pretty hot though.  However the wind decided to blow today so it's a nice breeze every once in a while!  The dogs and I decided that we needed a little "doggie" pool, so we sent Trevor out looking for one! Ha.  We know we're all spoiled.  We'll see what he finds!  Hopefully something to semi cool all of us off!!

I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy your Monday off!  If you don't have tomorrow off, sorry about your luck!!

It's About That Time...

Well folks, it has come.  It is back!
What's back you ask?
Mekayla sweating in the bathroom while doing her hair...
Mekayla sweating 10x more than normal in the gym because it's hotter in the gym...
Mekayla sweating at work when she has to go outside...
MEKAYLA SWEATING EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME! 
UGH!

The time has come where the weather is now considered to be compared to Ryan Reynolds...


HOT!
I guess there's nothing I can do about it, but live through it without complaining... ha!
Bring it summer!  I'm ready! I think.

Hey There...

Long time, no talk! Let's catch up!

I finally finished my first semester! Whoop! Last weekend I spent it studying my life away and then paused for a short while...okay a day...for a Crawfish Boil!!  It was Trevor's first time boiling crawfish or being in charge of it and he did a bravo job!  Applause all around!! 

Wednesday was my last test and after my test I spent it being lazy, eating the worst foods, having a couple of drinks, and went to the lake.  It was extreeemely nice!  I've been enjoying my last few days off and I am sure that I will continue to enjoy the rest of my month off!

This past weekend we celebrated Cinco De Mayo!! We all went out with a lot of people!  At least 15 and had a grand ol' time!  I have nothing against Louisiana, but this weekend we have been experiencing some extreeemely rude people.  Yesterday while we were out, we were at a bar and this guy claimed he was from Boston, New York, Italy, India, pretty much everywhere and faked an awful accent.  Anyway he ended up flipping all of us off.  Rudeness!  Next a girl walked up with a super cute dress on!  So I went up and told her it was a cute dress and asked her where she got it from!  She gave me an awful look and kept walking like I was an idiot!  Again RUDENESS!  Then today at Walmart some lady was like "I'm just trying to get some lettuce!" (really rudely) Me thinking hello?! What do you think I'm trying to do...get some lettuce too! Sheesh! AND THEN...We were standing in line at Walmart (same trip) and some lady came up and said, "Excuse me, I'm sorry".  The guy behind me immediately said, "Don't apologize, you didn't do anything wrong".  Good grief guy! She was just being polite!  Ugh..  Over rude people!

Yesterday morning the doorbell rang...


Lailee and Jersey got invited to a dog birthday party!  They were super stoked...most likely because the invite came with a treat! Ha.  Crazy dogs.

The weekend was great as always!  So blessed to have amazing weekends with amazing people (especially my perfect, beautiful, amazing, boyfriend)!!!
I had to add that in there...Trevor noticed I was blogging and asked if I was blogging about him and how beautiful, perfect, and amazing he was.  *eye roll* Crazy guy!
I finished off the day with baking some banana bread!!  Can't wait to bless my tummy with some yummy banana bread! :)
