A Collection of Happy Days: Catch Up!

I knew when I made this blog, that I'd get really into it and then lose interest. It happens with so many things. For instance this month alone. I kind of want a puppy. A few weeks ago I was obsessed with the idea. I would spend too much of my free time between school and work looking at puppies for sale in my area. And although I sort of, ever so slightly still want a puppy. I'm not obsessed anymore. Which is probably for the best. Another example. At the beginning of the month I saw a sign for the Theta 5K. It's something I know my sister has come up and done with her sister inlaw a few times. I decided I wanted to do it. I hate running... But I love how I feel after I do it. So for a good week or so I started running a lot to prepare for this 5k. But then for a good week or so I didn't do anything. Well the 5k is on Saturday. I may not have the motivation I had before, but I'm still determined to follow through with this one. It'll be my first 5k. And I know I won't run the whole thing. I'm not even going to pretend. I hate running. I'm just determined to finish it. And no matter the results compared to everyone else I'm going to be proud of myself. Because I used to not even be able to run a mile. I remember coming home from softball at the beginning of freshman year and crying my eyes out because they made us run a mile and it was so hard for me. I'm horrible with my commitments, that was my point. Along with that, I was catching up with the things I haven't blogged about because of my commitment issues.

When I said I've been obsessed with getting a puppy, I mean I've been obsessed. There's a lot more pictures than this....

But then when I go to Mallory and Chrissy's apartment where they have Woody it calms my obsession down a little bit. He was in his kennel because he was a bad puppy...

The last weekend of spring break most of the family (excluding Michael, Stephen, Chris, and Bailey) went up to Dallas. It was great. It always is! I love my family. Even though it can get pretty crazy. And who could resist those cute little kids!! The 4 youngest ones were there. So cute! <3
Mom, Dad, Jenny and I got there Thursday night. Billy, Kristine, Elizabeth and Brody were already there. And we just hung out and then went to bed. I worked all day so I was exhausted. Then Friday, Jenny worked most of the day. The main thing I remember doing is going grocery shopping with everyone. 4 little kids and 7 adults. (It's still hard to consider myself an adult. I had a hard enough time remembering I was 18, and now I have to remember that I'm 19!) And Friday night Jenny came with me to my friend's wedding reception. When the she walked into the room, I'm not gonna lie I teared up. She was glowing and it was absolutely beautiful. I'm so happy for her!! Saturday was St. Patrick's day. And I got to have a matching green bow with my nieces :) The guys had a stake golf tournament that they went to. Billy ended up getting a prize driver? for having the longest drive? Pardon my golf lingo. That stuff goes over my head. While they were out doing that we took the kids to a magic show. It was pretty cheesy, but everyone enjoyed it. So that sounds pretty successful to me! And then Sunday morning we left and it was back to the real world for me. I always hate that part :(
Yes I'm sure I'm missing lots of parts, but that's what I get when I don't update soon enough, I forget things.

So here's some pictures of the trip:
