What's Up Wednesday// Week 12

It's time for another What's Up Wednesday!

Please keep in mind that we have guidelines that we love for you to follow! This link up is always a good time and we've had lots of awesome people playing by the rules! Today our Guest Host is Ashley from Keeping up with Cody and Ashley!  Be sure to stop by her blog and give her some love!

What I loved about the past week//  I loved that I got some big assignments taken care of and I got ahead! It's taking a lot of stress off of me.

What I'm looking forward to// I'm going home!! Being in Vegas without a BF is a little less fun...So while I always look forward to spending a little time at home, I'm especially excited this time.

What my latest obsession is// I have this big secret.  Okay...so it's not a secret, I just haven't really told many people beyond my immediate family...And it sort of explains my latest obsession.  I have a post scheduled for Monday...so tune in!

What I've been daydreaming about// I'm day dreaming about being a teacher with my own classroom...I know it's so far away, but being an instructor just makes me want it so bad.  I am just getting my feet wet with teaching and I want to do it all the time...

What I'm watching// I'm still watching old Grey's Anatomy episodes as well as watching the new ones on Hulu.

Yes. Seriously. It's good to watch. I already know what happens in the old ones so it isn't hard to just turn it off and do my homework.

What I'm listening to// I mostly listen to bluegrass these days.  I listen to Cherryholmes Pandora and thumbs up a lot of Alison Krauss.

What I'm craving// I have a constant craving for those dang wings from Applebee's.  Same as last week! It just won't go away...They're so tasty. But I've also been thinking about eating a big steak from Texas Road House or basically anything from the Cheese Cake Factory...Can you tell I haven't been able to eat out much lately?

Thanks for hanging around! Be sure to add your link! If you missed out on the link up, be sure to join us next week!

What's Up Wednesday//Vol 10

Why hello everybody and welcome to another installment of What's Up Wednesday.  Ashley, Shannon, and I have been loving doing this each week and we want to thank everyone who has been participating!

This week we have a new guest host! Chandler from Life as a Larsen is joining us this week!  

She's a college student just like me, relatively new to blogging, and an overall awesome person!  She like to go out and have climbing adventures and take incredible pictures of them. Check out her blog and follow along!

What I loved about the past week//  I absolutely loved that I got to do the Spring break thing, but believe it or not, I am actually glad to be back to the grind.  I'm ready to get back to work and finish this semester strong.  

What I'm looking forward to// I'm looking forward to so much.  I feel like my life is going to change a lot in the next few weeks and I'm pretty excited about it.  I don't really know exactly what I'm looking forward to, but I think it's going to be pretty alright. 

What my latest obsession is// I can't stop listening to Taylor Swift.  I don't know what it is but I just...like her.  I think she's an incredible person and it makes me really like listening to her music. 

What I've been daydreaming about// I'm want to go to the beach.  So bad.  I just want to lay in the warm sand with a hat, sunglasses, and a bikini and let the world fade away for a while...

What I'm watching// Grey's Anatomy.  I've seen it start to "finish".  I'm completely caught up on Hulu and yet...I just love watching it. I honestly kinda feel like Meredith these days. I'm just a girl in a bar...No story.  Just me.  

What I'm listening to// I've been listening to this group called the Cherryholmes Band.  They're a family bluegrass band and...I love em. 

What I'm craving// Dessert.  What else?

What I'm doing this weekend// I'm working of course.  And doing homework, because that's pretty much all I do, especially without a boyfrannn...

What else is new// I think that the newest thing is my attitude.  I feel different.  I feel happier.  I feel relaxed.  I have a lot of work to do, but I'm excited to jump in and get all my stuff taken care of.  The next few weeks are going to be interesting, but I hope in the best possible way. 

Guess What Day it is?

First of all let me apologize! I should have had this post up forever ago but I'm super behind in like...everything.  I decided to go home for spring break and it took tons of time out of my blogging.  But without any further ado, welcome to What's Up Wednesday. 

What's Up Wednesday is brought to you by myself, Ashely, and Shannon.  This week we decided to forgo the guest host, but we will certainly keep having them in the future!  To learn more about What's up Wednesday, click here.

What I loved about the past week//  I loved that I got to come home! Last night my family played a little gig up in Park City and it was great.  I love playing with my family.

What I'm looking forward to// Okay...so now that it's spring break, I can't look forward to that anymore.  So now I'm looking forward to the end of the semester! Just about 6 weeks left till I can just relax for a while. 

What I'm nervous about//  I'm super nervous about trying to find someplace to live after the semester is over.  I can't afford much, but hopefully I'll be able to figure something out!

What I've been daydreaming about// I'm day dreaming about a world where money is not necessary to live and we all just love each other...That would be a nice world, I think. 

What I ate for dinner last night//  I went out to Denny's with my daddy and I ate spaghetti...For the second time that day. Whoops!

What I'm craving// I could really go for some cake batter ice cream with bananas mixed in...That's my favorite. 

What I'm doing this weekend//  This weekend is mostly filled with working.  I'll let you know when I get there. 

What else is new?  Well, not a whole lot is new as of right now, but I feel some serious changes coming in my life...I'm not really sure what's going to happen, but I feel like I can't really talk about it yet.  I guess we'll see when we get there, huh? 

What's Up Wednesday~Week 7

Well, we have arrived at my favorite day of the week.  What's Up Wednesday!  Join Ashley, Shannon and I for our weekly Wednesday fun!

Remember to follow the guidelines and don't link and run! Check out the other posts and let them know where you found them.  I've really been loving reading all these posts.  It's awesome to see what everyone is up to every week in such a fun way.  

This week we have Shannon from Much. Most. Darling. joining us as a guest host! She is one of the most stylish mamma's I have ever come across in the blog world.  She's linked up with us quite a few times and I love reading her posts in general. Be sure to stop by her blog and see what she's all about!

So...What's up with me?  

What I loved about the past week//  I loved that got to see Travis TWO, count them TWO times.  I'm not sure that I've seen him twice in a week in about a month so that was pretty great. 

What I'm looking forward to//  I'm looking forward to starting my new job! In case you didn't hear, I just got a new job as a teacher's aid at a school near by.  I'm really excited and so nervous it's not even funny!  But nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? 

What my latest obsession is// Believe it or not, I'm still obsessing over my mandolin! I play in a band here in Vegas and I've been working really hard at it.  I've learned some new songs, I'm working on a few to sing, and I feel like I'm really making strides and becoming a better musician.  I'm even branching out and playing other instruments...

What I've been daydreaming about//  Having a million dollars and being able to just pay for school like it was a drop it the bucket (see 'Advertise')

What I'm watching// I've actually been bouncing around with a few different things.  I don't usually do that.  But I've been watching Mad Men, 30 Rock, Better Call Saul (if you haven't seen it, you must...) and of course...Teen Witch made my whole Saturday worthwhile.  Start at 1:40 for the good stuff. You can thank me later for this. 

What I'm listening to//  It's still bluegrass.  All I have been listening to is bluegrass.  I listen to it on Pandora and on Spotify and on Youtube.  I can't get enough. 

What I'm craving// Everything that isn't the Dining commons...However, as I'm really pinching pennies, that's all I get. :/

What I'm doing this weekend// This weekend I get to spend it up in Salt Lake playing warrior for the weekend and hanging out with my family.  It's a long drive for one weekend, but I always look forward to spending some good quality time with the fam. It's always a little too short though. 

What else is new//  Well, what with the job, new blog fun, spring break coming, school winding down (Just because it's past midterm I feel like school is pretty much over...why?) I'll hopefully be moving into a new place here soon and making some huge changes...so I guess a lot isn't new today, but there will be a whole lot of new challenges and adventures in the near future. 

Bring it on. 

Don't forget to add your link and join in on the fun!

What's Up Week 4

Welcome to Week 4 of What's Up Wednesday! If this is your first week, please visit here to check out our guidelines!

I'm so excited about this week because this week we have introduced a special guest! Chelsie  from Life With Rosie is co-hosting with Shannon, Ashley and I.  We love that she's been participating in the link up and we've all loved reading about what's up with her each week for the past four weeks.  I've actually just loved reading her blog in general. She's an incredible person and I'm sure you'll love her blog as much as I do.

You'll be able to find the link-up tool over there too, so don't be shy! let us know what's up!  We'll be selecting another linker to co-host next week! Also this week, we've add an extra question! We're going to add a different one each week so we can learn new things all the time! Hope you'll join us. 
What I loved about the past week// Usually I dread the drive to and from Salt Lake, but this time, I actually really enjoyed it.  It was kind of nice to have that time all to myself to think about stuff and not have a ton to worry about for a few hours.  What I'm looking forward to//  I'm looking forward to spring break! It's still about a month away, but the break from school is literally all I can think about. I'm also looking forward to the coming weeks without my extra class online because it's OVER! Woo! 
What I'm nervous about// I'm nervous that I'm never going to catch up from being gone this weekend. 
What I'm daydreaming about// The beach..sandy feet...salty hair...the sounds of the waves crashing on the beach.  and the sun setting over the water.  Yeah...that sounds about right... What I ate for dinner last night// So this was actually two nights ago, but I was at home and my mom made one of my favorite meals, pork chops and rice...mmm...
What I'm craving// I've been craving a coke.  So so bad.  But I'm being strong. No more coke for me! 
What I'm reading//  Unfortunately none of my reading is recreational right now.  I'm reading a book called Revising Prose, one called A Hope In the Unseen, an Educational Psychology book, and I'm pretending to read something about philosophy...but let be honest here...I am not doing so great with that one. 

What else is new? Well, not a whole lot.  I'm doing my thing making school a huge priority, spending time with Travis and living life as best I can!  
Now it's your turn.  We want to know what's up with you!  Just follow the prompt and add your link! 

What's Up Wednesday Week 3

Welcome back to another installment of What's up Wednesday! We're so happy you stopped by.  For the Link-up Guidlines please visit this link.  

We're working really hard to create a fun place for us all to share our blogs and make new friends.  So the best way to get blog love is to give it.  So share the love and be sure to check out more blogs! Don't link and run :)   Please remember to follow the prompts!  I can't wait to hear what's up with you!  I'll even leave you a reminder here as to what the prompts are! • What I loved about the past week
• What I'm looking forward to
• What I'm nervous about
• What I've been daydreaming about
• What I ate for dinner last night
• What I'm craving
• What I'm doing this weekend
• What else is new (in any area of life)   As for me?  

What I loved about the past week//  It was a four day weekend from school! I loved having Monday off of school. I only have one class on Mondays, but it's amazing not having anything to do besides work did for my day!

What I'm looking forward to//  This weekend I'm going up to Salt Lake with Travis for my unit's Dining out event.  I'm pretty excited about that.  Travis isn't.  Oh well. Unfortunately, I'll probably spend most of the night just sucking in so I don't pop a button on my uniform. They really shouldn't size us for those at the end of Basic aka when I was in the best shape of my life.

What I'm craving//  I can't stop thinking about Cafe Rio Salads.  I had one when I was sick and I couldn't taste it, so I just keep thinking about it...I want to taste it. 

What else is new//  Well, like always, I'm working really hard and keeping up with all my school work.  It has been...A little hard lately.  Being able to find time to do everything is a serious struggle.  Basically, if I'm doing well in school, I hardly ever see Travis or do anything else but school work.  If I'm procrastinating and getting stressed out, it's because I decided to go to the gym and read for leisure and watch Better Call Saul with Trav...so I'm working on figuring out that balance where I get to do it all...The planner helps, but I swear, there just aren't even hours in the day!

What I'm looking forward to//

What I'm nervous about//

What I've been daydreaming about//

What I ate for dinner last night//

What I'm craving//

What I'm doing for Valentines day//

What else is new//

As for me...  

What I loved about the past week// A few things...Although I was super sick, I had Travis around to make me sandwiches and bring me soup.  Also my little mold problem in my dorm finally got taken care of.  Even more importantly, the pigeons that have been inhabiting my balcony have been shooed and their presence has been...cleaned up!  Even the nest is gone.  Now I just have to sit out there all time to keep those birdies from coming back!

Shirt cred goes to Whitney Ellen aka my hero

What I'm looking forward to//  I'm looking forward to no longer being a sicky! I just started to feel better yesterday and I'm finally getting to where I can *gasp* smell. I'm also looking forward to the end of the semester.  I know it's still kind of a ways away, but I'm getting excited to find an apartment and start living a live outside of this dorm room...

What I've been daydreaming about// This is going to sound crazy, but I've been day dreaming about riding a bike. It has been over 3 years since I last got on a bike, and I decided today that it just might be time to get back on the horse, so to speak.   What I'm doing for Valentines Day//  Our Valentines Days plans are yet to be determined.  Trav had a check-ride yesterday so we haven't really done much for planning.  I already got him a little gift though.  I also made him a little something that I'll be happy to share after Valentines day.  Like I said last week, he's a lurker.  I don't want to ruin the surprise.  What else is new//  Honestly, not a whole lot.  I'm just doing my thing, working hard and making the most of every day that goes by.  School is totally consuming my life, but I suppose that's how it's supposed to be, huh?  Now it's your turn! Add you link and share with us, what's up!

What's up Wednesday

I'm so excited to say that this day has finally come.  Today, I've joined forces with these two lovelies!

What I loved about the past week:   I'm still totally on top of all my school work! I have tons of reading and I'm not having any problems keeping up with it. I'm even considering joining an honor society...because get this, I am totally eligible! It feels good to be successful at being a student!

What I'm looking forward to:  I'm looking forward to something I can't tell you about...because it's a surprise and Travis is a luker.  So...I'll let in you in on the secret after I execute what I'm looking forward to...but I'll give you a hint, it has something to do with Valentines day.

What I'm doing this weekend:  Well since my school and work schedule has gotten very demanding and Travis is doing instrument and multi-engine training my weekends are almost completely dedicated to spending time with Travis.  We'll probably watch one of the shows on Netflix we planned to watch together or spend time studying in the same room together. A good weekend if you ask me.

What else is new:  I'm working really hard on all my New Years Resolutions.  So far I've made a lot of goals and I'm actually making tons of progress on everything I've set out to do.  Life is good and I'm extremely happy.  I've got a bunch of blog stuff in my head that I'm so excited to put out there. I've got some of my pages under construction right now, but I think it's all going to be pretty dang awesome.

I'm also running an new Instagram Page for my band!  It's pretty fun to be on IG doing something a bit different with a little more of a theme!

And...that's pretty much all that's up!
