Spring Break!

Last week was spring break for Texas Tech. I didn't get to go on an cruise like Casi and Jonathan (which I am pretty jealous about and will probably secretly hate them when I see their pictures), but I did have a nice week. Gabe and I both had to work until Thursday. The Rec Center was so dead. No one is here, so I was able to help out with the kids spring break camp. It was a lot of fun. Nothing beats dodge ball with a bunch of 8 year old. They were actually pretty good except didn't quiet get the concept of when the ball hits you, you are out. We had 2 great parties with friends over the week. Gabe and I are the officially game bringers. Because Gabe will randomly go out and buy yard games. Our Corn hole game got so much use this last week that it broke. Still usable but I bet one day I am randomly going to find a new one in my house. On Friday Gabe and I went to Dallas and got to spend time with Robin, Chris and the kids. I love being around family and am grateful for them always opening their home to us.

I had a Yoga Conference in Dallas for work so that was the purpose of our trip. It was a lot of fun and very informational. I have been teaching yoga for almost a year now and honestly didn't know much so it was great to get some ideas and great knowledge and improve my skills. Now I have mad Yoga skills. Here is me showing off my sweet skills I picked up after one training.














Okay maybe that isn't me, but maybe one day! Okay here is a picture that could be me if I lived on a beach. I can do this and I really wish my training was on a beach. One day I will do Yoga on a beach anyone like to join me!

5 minutes of fame

So at the end of January Texas Tech's rec center hosted a all night game night. The evening consisted of a Nintendo game room, a Lazar tag room, a ping pong tournament, racquetball tourney, as well as a 3 point shoot out and a slam dunk contest. In November my boss ask me to be responsible for the dunk contest, every last bit. So I took great pride and hand selected the dunkers got everything preped and was ready to go then my boss got a interesting call it was from Foot Locker. They were running a 3 point shootout and dunk contest across the country at 20-30 universities and they wanted to have one at Tech so after a lot of talking we were able to work them into our already existing all nighter. The night went well and we were all excited I met with the guys from Foot Locker and Bic(the razor company) and left thinking I made some good contacts. There were lots of pictures and videos taken and at best I figured I would make some random persons facebook however just this last week my boss received this clip which is now being played at Foot Lockers across the nation. I'll let you watch it to get your own little chuckle but I say tally one more point up Gabe.

I got sucked in and now I'm upset

So I started watching the Bachelor this season and tonight was the finale and he picked the girl that I really liked and then there was some after show and he dumbed the girl that he had proposed to and asked the girl he didn't pick if they could date. What the heck! I am pretty upset, I know its a stupid show but still. Gabe says I shouldn't care so much but I can't help it. I just feel bad for Melissa the girl he proposed to and then dumbed. The Bachelor contradicted himself a million times. I think he is quite the Loser. I hate reality T.V yet I keep watching it. Its so unreal and they put people in really unrealistic situations to make drama. Why does something that disgusts me so much intrigue me so much at the same time. Why do I keep watching?
