Just for Kicks

Hello all! It's a beautiful spring day and I thought this little math puzzle would be fun :-) Grab a calculator and a smile because this will be the best 2 minutes of your day! Well, at least for me it will be. Math has always been my favorite subject. To the point where I think it's cool and people think I'm a nerd... woo whoo :-D Here we go!

1. Type in the first 3 digits of your phone number (no area code).
*Example if your number was 555-6767, you would type into the calculator "555"
2. Multiply it by 80
*Example: 555x80= 44,400 (i can't help the examples, it's the teacher in me :-))
3. Add 1
*Example 44,400+1= 44,401
4. Multiply by 250
*Example 44,401x250= 11,100,250
5. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number
*Example 11,100,250+6767= 11,107,017
6. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again
*Example 11,107,017+6767= 11,113,784
7. Subtract 250
*Example 11,113,784-250= 11,113,534
8. Divide by 2
*Example 11,113,534/2= 5556767

You should end up with your phone number!! Let me know if it worked!

Happy Birthday Boaz!

This is a very special post for a very special little boy. My precious nephew, Boaz is turning 1 today :-) I remember the day (er, night) he was born. My family and I gathered in the birthing center to await the arrival of baby Bo. At 11:46 pm (kind of sad I remember the exact time haha) Boaz Patrick came into our lives. This past year with him has been so much fun and I definitely enjoy being a aunt!

Theses pictures are a look back to see how much he has grown!

Happy One Year of Blogging to ME :-) Yes, it's true. April 16th of 2007 I began my journey here on Blogger. Thanks to all of you who have read my blog for the past year. It means a lot that you take the time to read all my randomness :-)

I plan to continue blogging. Keep reading and I'll try to get more creative :-)

That You May Become Like Little Children...

And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3 NIV



Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14 NIV

Down South (With Videos Working FINALLY!)

March 25th-29th I took a trip to Fort Mill, South Carolina. My brother, his wife, and my nephew just moved there recently. I spent the week helping them move into their new house and help out with the baby. It was an absolute blast! I had never gone on a long trip by myself and felt very "grown up" riding a plane a lone :-).

This blog is to share some pictures, memories, and video's of my fantastic time in SC. I must say, South Carolina is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. While there, temperatures reached 82 degrees (it was so hard coming back to FREEZING weather!!!)

Things I noticed in SC. There is a lot of RED!
Red Dirt: (this is caused by Iron in the dirt, hah my geology class has FINALLY payed off!)

Red Fire Hydrants:


But the best part of the trip was getting to spend time with my family. I will definitely miss them. Here are some pictures and videos of my trip. I apologize that the videos don't have sound to them, our digital camera doesn't record sound.

It was an awesome trip. I hope you enjoyed seeing the pictures and videos from my trip, I certainly enjoyed taking them :-)

Almost There!

Yesterday was the official end of Winter Quarter at CBC. It also signified that I have 1 quarter left until I graduate with my AA. I can't believe that I'm almost half way done with college. Time definitely flies when you're having fun (haha can you hear the sarcasm?)

When I started as a freshman at CBC, I kept dreaming of the moment I would be finished there :-) Now, as graduation is only a few months away, I can definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel. I finished Winter Quarter with 2 4.0's (I only took 2 classes). So I'm very happy with my performance and the effort I put in.

This song, is what will get me through my final quarter at CBC.
(Fast-Forward the video to 1:45 and listen until 2:45 or Fast-Forward to -7:00 and listen until -6:00 depending on how the numbers show up)

Spring Time

It's that wonderful time of year, when the flowers are blooming and the wind is blowing non-stop. It's also the time when we realize summer is quickly approaching and we notice our little belly that somehow attached itself to our bodies. Ah yes, I'm talking about the "W" word that I absolutely hate. WORKOUT! AHHHHHHH

Now, I'm definitely not one to exercise. My idea of working out is running down our stairs in order to answer my cell phone :-) But as the warmer months are approaching, I have had this desire to actually get in shape. My cousin recently got engaged and asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. As we were trying on dresses last night, it hit me. Now, I'm not saying I'm fat but I could stand to tone up a little (don't we all).

So this morning I turned on "Turbo Jam" and did an ab workout. Who knows how long I'll actually keep this up (normally I do well for about a week haha) but I'm certainly striving to get in shape and live a healthy life.
