Hey ladies!! I've been putting off writing on this blog again for two reasons. First, I don't like being made fun of for my writing/spelling skills ;) Secondly, I have not had a lot of interesting things going on.
Sara Rose I am so proud of you. There is no way I could ever control my eating I have given up trying and have decided to try to find healthier things I like to eat. Have started training for a half marathon and in doing so I thought I might lose a few pounds...not happening. However today I did pull a Megan and got bit by a dog while I was running I had blood running down my leg and everything!
For those of you I haven't told I am moving tomorrow in with some friends. Its just down the block and I actually know people now who are willing to help me for the small price of beer and pizza. I too am preparing for school to start but I think I'm ready for the routine to start again. Lucky for me I don't start until the 26th so I have a bit of time.
Oh the only fun thing I have done is go rafting on level 3 rapids (the highest it goes is 5 on the rapid scale) it was awesome!!! I did fall out of the boat one time preceded to get stuck under it for a bit but I survived with a softball sized bruise on my ass!!! You all would have been impressed.
As I am writing I realize that I am the only single girl on this blog and for once I think I'm ready to change that. Recently I have been feeling like I could get involved in a relationship and make it work. This may be the first time I've ever said that but I figure if I put it out there it may happen. Now don't worry I'm not a lonely, desperate mess, and I'm not specifically looking for "the one", I'm just ready to try another aspect of adulthood.
Well for someone who doesn't have a lot going on I do know how to ramble! I love you ladies! Take care!

Yep, summer's almost over...
Hello ladies! First of all, Whitey you are my hero! I don't think I am "strong enough" to do one of those detox diet things! I like to eat too much. I sure gained 20 pounds since I moved to Wichita and the weight is definitely difficult to lose!
Grace, once someone falls in love with you there is no turning back! I fell in love about 17 years ago and there is no going back! You're stuck with me now. :)
Megan, I have to say that I am really sad that I probably won't be able to see you when you come into Topeka this next week. Do Abe and you have to come the week before school starts every year?? :) Kim Herrman is getting married this weekend in Wichita and then I will need to work in my classroom next week before I have to report on the 8th. Then the following weekend we are playing in a softball tournament in El Dorado. If we can work it out, I could maybe meet you for dinner in Emporia on Monday or Tuesday night? Talk to your hubby and let me know if something works. Did you ever receive the gifts I sent for Kiersten? If so, I hope you liked it!! Give her a kiss for me at her baptism.
Aubs, we talked for like an hour on the phone tonight, so I think we're pretty much caught up. :)
To my fellow friends who work within school districts, here we go again! Just remember the more experience we get throughout the years the, (hopefully), less stressful it will be in the future! It always going to be hard to go back though. Good luck!
As for what's new in my life, I'm just dreading school starting again. I'm a bit stressed out and will be very anxious until school starts again and I get settled into a routine. Nick and I tried to win the lottery tonight, but did not even get one freaking number! As he put it, I'm still a teacher and he still has to go to fucking work! Wouldn't it be easier if money grew on trees? I miss you girls like crazy and wish there was a time we could all get together. I fucking love you all too!

Caught up
Hello all! So sounds like the Fruit Flush was productive in the "losing pounds" department but not in the "making life happier" part. Well, I'm proud of you, Whitey, for following through the whole 3 days, thank God it wasn't a few weeks. That's a lot of fruit.
The wedding I was in was a good time! The open bar got the best of me and I got a little out of control, but what's new right? ha! No, it was super nice and everyone had a good time. Eric and I finally told each other "I love you" - probably had something to do with the booze but it was the real deal. It really meant a lot to hear so now we are saying it- but not alot like those annoying couples. :)
I have exactly one week until I have to officially report back to school. I went in for enrollment yesterday (where the kiddos come in with there parents and fill out the paperwork to get to school). I'm getting a little nervous about my caseload this year. I'm excited though too. That's the good thing about working in a school, you get a new crop of kiddos each year (some of mine I keep, but I get new ones too). It keeps it interesting every year. I had one of my paras crap out on me, so we are in the process of finding a new one that will AT LEAST show up to work when they are supposed to. I tell you what, I did not sign up to be in charge of people- it's hard as hell. I feel though that I am starting to get more of back bone each year I'm working. This isn't "Softy Sara" anymore. :)
Other than that, I am heading to Worlds of Fun this weekend with the family. It'll be the kids first trip there so it should be fun. I hear it's supposed to be 100 degrees so I'm sure I'll be looking for the water rides.
What's new with the rest of you? I think Whitey and I are competing on how blogs more.... it's ON!!! :) "I fucking love you guys!"

Fruit Flush=Death!
I wish I would be able to report happy things about the fruit flush I participated in... however I compare it to hell on earth! I did lose 6 pounds, but I was uncomfortable and hungry and angry for three days!!! The first day was awful!!! All you could eat (drink) were these protein shake things, that literally tasted like flour mixed with water! I gagged like 9 times just trying to choke them down! The second two days were a little better, but not much! You think eating fruit all day wouldn't be that bad... oh it was!!!! Anyhoo, enough about that! Just remember fruit flush= death!!! The good news is that I am really on a roll with my working out and eating healthier! I am going to lose my scary weight girls... if it kills me!!!! Which it might!!! Oh, and Megan, you're comment to me was just about the sweetest thing!!! It seriously made me cry... thanks, you're awesome!
I hope everyone is doing well. For all of us school working gals, it's about that time again (maybe not quite for Aubs) for school to start up! I'm ready!!! I need my routine. I'm also going to be taking two classes, one on Monday night and the other on Tuesday! I'll be a busy little bee!!!
I talked to Grace briefly and it sounded like the wedding went well. She's always so busy, I always feel like I'm bugging her when I call or text... I didn't get too many details! Maybe she'll post soon. I hope you are all well! I miss you all a ton! I fucking love you guys!!!!!! There, had to throw in a fuck!

F this!
Hey all! I just had to title it "F this" because Whitestuff wasn't sure if we can cuss in this blog. Hell, it our blog, we can cuss the living shit out of it! And believe me, I use my fair share of the F word as well. Come on, we work with special kids, you've got relieve the insanity somehow! :) Anyway, Megan, I just loved the story about Kiersten first swimming... in the bathtub! I just envision you and Abe in your swimsuits and little girl in there too! That's just SOOO sweet. Please keep telling stories like that - it makes me look forward to a family... some day! :)
I am desperately trying to finish up my grad classes for the summer. I will be done next May and believe me, I am going to have a HUGE party, because this one class I am in now is freakin INSANE!!! I want to hunt down this professor and do really bad things to him, and I don't mean naughty things!! ha! Anyway, I will have a life back by next Wednesday for approximately a few weeks before school starts up. I am looking forward to a fresh new school year, however, I could have a few more weeks of sitting by the pool!
Ava's birthday is this week. She's going to be 3!! I can't believe it, how fast they grow up! It's insane! She's having a "Book Party" but I don't think we have to bring books. I got her one anyhow. It's just going to be at Ryan and Corey's. If you didn't know, they moved to Eudora and have a gorgeous home. My brother started working for my dad just about a month ago so they made a change. Also they are really interested in a Montessori school for Noah that's in Eudora. My mom actually teaches Montessori so Noah is familiar with it. The school goes from pre K - 8th grade and then he'll go to Eudora High I think. I'm excited for them, but being a teacher at a public school, I worry a bit about the social aspects of Noah going to a very small school. I believe there are only about 12 kids total!! In all grades! The kids work at their own pace which will be very beneficial. I'm sure he'll be fine. It's just different and maybe not what I would want to do, but it'll be fine.
I'm finally going to be a bridesmaid this weekend! I've only been one once and then I was guestbook attendant for three weddings after that (thanks for Whitey's family)! So I'm pretty excited! I should be a good time. I'm excited to slow dance with Eric. Is that really lame? Oh well, maybe it'll be romantic! :) Alright, I better shoe off! I tried to do something on here where it should send us emails if people post so we'll see if it works! I figured that'd be nice instead of having to check it every day!
Love you all!!

No More Fat!
Can I just say first off, I love hearing Megan talk about mom stuff!!! It makes me, and all of us, seem so grown up! I freakin' love it!!! Glad everyone is doing well in Florida! I hope you find out where you will be moving soon. That would drive me absolutley batty! I sooooo hope you guys come down in August! Of course I want to see you, but I was to see little Kiersten so bad!!!! Exciting news about Abe possibly joining the campaign trail!!!! Don't tell him I'm voting for Obama...shh!!! I'm sorry, I work in the child care/education field... I would be a hypocrite not too... Anyway enough about Obama...
Ok, girls, so they say that when you are truly happy and comfortable in life, you gain weight. Well, I must be fuckin'... can you say fuckin' in the blogging world? I bet you can! I say fuckin' a lot in the Sara world so, sorry! Well, I must be fuckin' happy because since I have been with Chase over these past four years I have gained 65 pounds!!!! Yes, I said 65 pounds!!!! It's insane. I must be the happiest bitch in Lawrence. Seriously, I'm a fat ass! So, I've decided to take control of my weight and no longer be a fat ass, or at least no longer as fat of an ass! I'm starting first with a fruit flush. It takes three days and I start tomorrow (Monday!) The first day you have to drink these protein shakes and shit and then you have the next two days to eat fruit every two hours. My friend, Darcy, has done this before and I've read all the information so it seems legit! I'm kind of excited about it. Allegedly you can lose up to 10 pounds doing it... I'm not so much concerned about that right now, but rather just cleaning out my system and starting to eat healthier! I'm going to incorporate better eating habits and healthier foods into my life if it kills me!!! Wouldn't that be ironic! And I'm going to step up my workouts!!! I am eventually going to be one sexy bitch!!! Or at least a few pounds lighter... I wish we all lived in Lawrence (or wherever) so we could excersise together! We could start a workout group!!! It always helps to work out with someone! Anyhoo... just wanted to keep you updated!
And yes, I HAVE been living in Lawrence too long, when I start to adopt crazy fruit flush philosophies about losing weight and feeling healthier!! Next stop, smoking pot!!!!

Hey!!
Hey all of you beautiful ladies!
So this thing is really cool. I really like to hear about you all and what is going on with you guys. Sometimes it feels as if I am on an entirely different planet and not just in another state. Grace, even though we've already talked about it I am still really excited for you and Eric. I better get to meet him the next time I am in town. Foxy, so when are you going to get married? Oh wait even better, when are you going to start having babies? Ha, Ha just kidding. It sounds like everything is going really well for you in Wichita. Aubs, I am sorry that your set up didnt go as well as your friends had planned. When I get to the west coast (hopefully) instead of setting you up with all of our single guy friends we will just all go out and party and if you like them then you can make the move (no pressure). White, I think it has been soooo long since I have talked to or seen you. I miss you so much and Kiersten will not be 5 when you meet her.
Anyways, so what is new with us, well not much. We still have no clue where we are moving to or when. We are hoping to find out in the next month or so, but then again I have been saying this for like 6 months now. We are still hoping for the west coast though. Abe, is doing well. He is just being good old Abe. I think he is going to try and volunteer for John McCain's campaign down here so I guess that will be fun (for him at least). Kiersten is doing as good as ever. Oh, and Grace she has a tiny head not a big one but we still know that she is going to be really smart. What am I talking about she already is really smart! She is really trying to move which is fun to watch. She gets up on both of her knees but can't get her chest off the ground so she ends up back in the same spot she started at. But she keeps trying and she is reaching for things so we know she is trying to move. She got to start eating rice cereal this month which is also fun to do. She gets so excited! She also went swimming for the first time. Well, in the bath tub. We wanted to see how she would react first so we filled the tub up pretty high and all three of us got in with our swim suits on. Oh, god I really am a mom now arent I. Man thats scary.
Oh, the really exciting news is that we may be coming home in August. It will probably be from the 1st or 2nd to the 10th. I am really excited but then I read Aubrey's blog and Im bummed that we will be missing each other by like a week. That sucks!!! But as for the rest of you I will let you know as soon as we find out and we should all try to get together. Foxy, we will really try to get down to Wichita because I really want to see where you live and get to know Nick a little better. Grace, well there are no excuses there, you live in Topeka so we WILL be seeing you and I really want to meet Eric. White, we should hopefully get to Lawrence at least once and if we do I will give you a call.
Well I think I have made this long enough. I love you all and miss you a ton!

The Wait is Over...
Yes ladies, you can now rest easy... I have finally figured out the ol' blog! Seriously, I commend all of you for figuring it out because I am super brain dead!!! Anyhoo, I'm so excited to have contact with y'all! It feels like we haven't talked or seen in each other in ages (except for you Gracie) and I miss you guys!
Let's see... this summer I have been working as a para with a teacher friend of mine in summer school. She roped me into helping her. It's actually been pretty fun though. We get to work at West, which is the junior high I work at during the year, and we have a great group of kids! Chase has been busy with working at Party America, yes still, and taking summer classes. He will graduate in May with his Business/Accounting degree!!!! Yay for Chase!!! I laughed when Foxy said she was sick of people asking when she and Nick would be tying the knot!!! Please, Chase and I have been together about 4 years now! We've been getting asked that for years!!! I know how you feel Foxy!!! I want it to be a surprise proposal, but we have talked marriage. I look for it to happen within the next few years!! Oh, Lord I can't believe I said that!!!
Things are great with us, we are still living in sin together in Lawrence. We hope to buy a house soon, within the next year! We still have our baby Penny! She is running around, barking, chewing on stuff... just being a dog!! We love her, she is very sweet! Other than that, I'm eagerly anticipating the school year starting! I like the beginning of school, I always did!!!! I hope all is well with you girls! Glad to hear Megan and Kiersten are well! She is going to be like 10 before I see her!!!! How is Abe?? Aubrey I can't believe you are running a half marathon! You're awesome!!!!! Foxy, don't stress about the school year starting, I'm sure it will be better than last year. And Gracie... Eric is such a geek... are you sure about him? Teasing!!!

Hello again!
I knew it was Eric! What a dork! Does that mean we can't talk about him on here... damn it! Just kidding buddy! Grace, I am so very happy for you. You deserve a great guy and it is so true about God working in mysterious ways. Relationships are all about timing and being in the same places in each others lives... truly. Hopefully you are both ready for each other now!
Aubrey, I have decided that you need to come back to my third grade class so we can work on spelling and how to construct a sentence... just kidding baby! You know I just like giving you shit. I could have NEVER made it through a day at KU Med and you know that!! :) Yes, it is true that Aubrey is coming to visit me in Wichita on Saturday, August 16. Anybody else who would like to venture down this way on that day is more than welcome! We will be going to the lake sometime late morning and then out to Club Rodeo that night... that is if Aubs can help me pace my drinking and I don't pass out!
Megan, I sent Kiersten a little something. I couldn't resist when I saw them. Hope she likes her surprise! Make sure that husband of yours is behaving himself!
That is all for now. I love this! But not as much as I love all of you... Grace I beat you in the corny department there! :)

Sorry I'm Late!!
Hello ladies! Sorry I am late but I did not get the memo until Grace was angry with me! Well she was not really mad more like thinking I'm an idiot. I do think its a great idea but I have to admint I'm a little nervous to talk about myself....it kind of feel concited. I've never really done one of these before so sorry in advance.
Summer here has been a learning experience the skies are pretty much permanently hazy due to hundreds of fires. Basically when I'm outside for say and hour or two its like smoking a pack of cigaretts...yuck! I have recently decided to run in a half marathon in October so unfortunately I am forced to at least run outside every other day so I can't avoid the somke. I have been working at summer school but since I'm the newbie I got the caseload where I have to go to 5 schools in the week where as the others get to stay at one school. I suppose next year will be better.
In the romance department I have a whole lot of nothing going on. However my friends out here have decided I need to be fixed up. My friend Sid (who I met first out here) introduced me to her friend from new york who is really funny and nice(and really tall....I'm talking 6'7") but I'm just not feeling it and of course I have no idea what to say...any suggestions? Also Crissy, who I am doing the half marathon with wants to introduce me to a pilot but I'm not sure he is my type either. To sum it up I think I'm way to picky and I have no idea how to tell my friends to stop setting me up. As for you Grace its great to hear about you and Eric!
I guess the only other thing to tell now is that I will be home from August 15th to the 23rd. Foxy I will be seeing you that Saturday on the boat! And the majority of the rest of my time will be spent in Topeka so hopefully I will be able to catch up with everyone. Megan if you come home when will it be? And I am still waiting to hear when you are moving so I can plan a trip to visit!
Hopefully my first blog passes the test!

Follow-up
Hey all!
I'm so glad you guys like this idea! I am eagerly awaiting our two other amigas (Aubrey and Sara). I think there was some technical difficulties but hopefully they will be posting soon too! Megan, so glad to hear about Kiersten's check-up. That's alright that she has a big head. That just means she's going to be that much smarter! :) I think there might be a way to post some pictures on here, that'd be cool if we could put pictures of our families, kids, etc. if you wanted. I'll do some research. Blogging is so much fun!
Foxtrot, so good to here about you and Nick. I'm sure people are wondering when the big day is happening, but like we talked about, we've got our whole lives to be married, enjoy it for now! I saw that you got to meet Rascal Flatts- I love them! But I understand you couldn't make babies with them because of Nick. :)
As for me, I feel like this summer has FLOWN by. I am super stressed with this ridiculous grad school class- thankfully it sends at the end of July. I think I just maxed myself out with summer school teaching and three grad classes. I will be done next May though and you better believe there's going to be a hell of a party! :)
I babysat for Ryan and Corey's kids last week for a few days. All by myself. Man, being a mom is hard work! Go Megan! The kids are so much fun but I was exhausted! Noah will be 5 here in September, Ava will be 3 at the end of July, and little Hannah is 10 months! I had so much fun though! I want to be a mom, but I think I will wait a little bit longer for that one! :)
Foxtrot, I know I have not called you, so I will tell you over blog about my love life! :) Eric finally let his wonderful little heart open up and told me he has the "love" feelings for me. Needless to say, I was shocked since we had been broken up since last November and he was adament about not having those strong feelings for me. Anyway, we are basically back together (without the title, yet, trying to give him something to wait for :) . It's been really great. He is such a great guy and has a lot going for him, always has. I have always had the love feelings for him, so it just took him a little bit longer. :) He is being all sweet and romantic which is a bit strange for me (a good strange though). I feel that is a really exciting adventure that we are on and do feel that is right. God does work in mysterious ways (or so says Nancy White!) I feel as though that part of my life was lacking and now it feels generally wholesome. So cheesy huh? Anyway, Cool Breeze is Eric and he was trying to be cool. Just ignore it! haha.
Alright, ladies, keep me posted on your lives. This is so exciting!!!
Teacher friends, I can not BELIEVE that I have to go back to school in like 3 weeks! It makes me sick to my stomach!!

Grace, you are a genius!!!
I'm right here! Hello ladies!! Super idea, Grace! Megan, I am so glad to hear that Kiersten is doing so well! I love all of the new pictures you post on MySpace so I can keep up with her as she grows. It's nice to have Kaleb so I can kind of compare how quickly Kiersten is growing too... since they were born on the same day! Grace, I think you still owe me one of your nieces though! Just kidding!! By the way, who is cool breeze? Can we dish about boys on here too or should we keep such gossip confidential? I'm gonna ask it anyway... Grace, what's the new scoop with the boy toy? I never got my phone call!
So today is July 12 and I am torn. A part of me is dreading going back to school but a part of me is excited and ready to go back. Word on the street is that we are getting a good group of students this year, so that will be a relief. I am starting to get lazy and feeling like a slacker so I'm ready to contribute to society again!
I have kept somewhat busy this summer so far. I went to Country Stampede in June, though it wasn't the same without the original crew and the amount of alcohol I used to consume! I just can't drink like I used to! So far in July I've just been hanging out in Wichita. I'll be coming home to the Topeka area on July 17, but am not sure I will have time to get together with my homegirls. It's going to be family time because we are selling my grandma's house in Maple Hill. We are auctioning all of her stuff on July 19, so that will be pretty tough. Right now she's in assisted living at Atria and that is where she needs to be now. I feel better knowing she is being looked after and kept safe. Then in August I will of course be getting my classroom ready for the beginning of school. The first day of school is August 13.
Nick is in the Ozarks this weekend for a bachelor party and I got many drunken text messages last night! Things are really good right now! We are both kind of getting tired of people asking us when we are going to get married though. We have been dating 11 months now and know we are on that route, but are just not ready for the next step yet. We are enjoying dating and where we are at right now. You know my philosophy... no need to rush!
Wow guys! I didn't know I had it in me to write so much! If you have made it through my entire entry, I congratulate you and thanks for reading! :) I hope all is well with everyone! Let's keep this up!! Love you all!

Bogus~
Hey girlies,
So I have been thinking about how it would be nice to be able to keep in touch more often and with the hectic lives of everyone! Why not BLOG? I have no idea how this thing works but I am learning as I go. Let's see if it takes off! I think it'd be really neat if we all just blogged on here at least once a week to keep each other up-to-date on our lives. I named it "Global Gifrlfriends" because even though we are all on the same side of the globe we are spread out. We can write anything we want on here- school, work, husbands/boyfriends/hook-ups (ha!), kids, etc. I think this could be really neat! What do you all say?! :)
