Tales of THE LAST WEEK from the Hilly, Nauseating Road.

Here's the last of the archives of my journal of last year's travel adventures!

I did it! I made it! I survived! Southern Indiana and I have shared some quality time together..but I’m ready to break up.
The last 2 weeks I’ve had a car that doesn’t have Sirius. Ugh. But I’m dumb and realized I could totally hook up my iPod about 3/4 the way through. And thus I give you #onlyonashlynsipod (I felt a hashtag was necessary for this). So…

I heard Amy Grant (so one of my guilty pleasures from my childhood. Hey, we all have them.) followed by Without Me- Eminem #onlyonashlynsipod
Blink 182 followed by the stud of a crooner Michael Buble #onlyonashlynsipod
Another One Bites the Dust by Queen then Lovebug by the JoBros #onlyonashlynsipod
Gosh. I have such great taste in music.
Here we go..for the last time this season!

THE GOOD!
- Prior to these last 2 weeks I haven’t been on the road as much. My fantasy team had taken a beating during that time. I didn’t have lunch visits to spend updating my team. But the last 2 weeks I did! Let’s just say I went from #1 to #2 and then without travel to #4 and with travel back to #2! Something lunch visits are good for- fantasy football time.
- APPLE DAY! One of my schools had Apple Day and made delicious goodies from apples. Apple pie, apple crisp, apple cider, caramel apples just to name a few. And who got in on all that apple yumminess? ME!
- Did you ever use the special containers made just for Pringles? Well the Shaffer’s loved these little guys and had a ton. I saw a girl using one and was instantly reminded of my lunch box that had an etch a sketch in it as well as that container.

THE BAD!
- Drove by an adult theatre and saw a sign that read “Gobble up your way…: and that was all I read. I just couldn’t bring myself to read the rest.
- All schools have blended together. I sat outside a school for about 15 minutes figuring out what door was the main entrance. When I thought I finally had it figured out, I got out of my car and saw a sign that pointed to the main office. Cool.
- I had some freshmen flick coins by my table so they could come over and get them. You got me. Here I thought I could finally make it rain.

THE UGLY!
- For the 2nd week in a row I was blamed for a “miscommunication”.So I checked my e-mail when I left. Who has a visit from August 17 confirming 10 am? This girl.
- I had a girl in my visit say that “counselors are like car salesmen. We call and tell them we’re between 2 schools and we can totally negotiate our scholarship. They’ll give us more because they want us.” I can’t believe it. A car salesman?! No. I am not a car salesman.And just for that, I will deduct from your scholarship...but not really because guess what. I HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO CHANGE YOUR SCHOLARSHIP!

Dreams Do Come True

Ferris Bueller was so right - Life moves pretty fast. You don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. My life has been busy, so I've done a horrible job at blogging. BUT NOW I HAVE SOMETHING FABULOUS TO WRITE ABOUT- The proposal at Disney World! *Warning* This post could make others nauseous with the overwhelming amount of cuteness and romanticness (is that even a word? Is now.) Read at your own risk. But really, you should read. Because it's cute. And I said so. It all started back in January when Brandon drove to my parents house to tell them the news and ask for their permission. Immediately my parents asked how they could help. Minutes later, my mom brings out my Grandma Irene's engagement ring and tells him she'd be honored if he could somehow use it. After weeks of Brandon e-mailing my mom, he had the proposal all figured out. Just look at that cheesy smile! My mom put the ring in her purse the night before we left for Disney. My da...

I DID IT! Last PL 2013 Post

Image
Whew. I did it. I can check one of my 2014 goals off the list. I finished my 2013 Project Life album. Like always, I started out strong. Then towards the end I lost momentum. I just wanted to be done. Maybe I'll go back and add more to the pages, change them up a bit. But for now it's finished. And I'm happy. week of November 10-16- I'm sure you noticed my lovely eye picture- sorry about that. But this week was more about pictures, and less about journaling. I used cards from WRMK for this page. The "notes" journaling paper at the top is from the $1 bins at Target- what a find! week of November 17- 23 - More eye pictures...sorry (or am I?!). This week we celebrated Thanksgiving with Brandon's family since we were going to be in Hawaii the next week. Like usual, I forgot to take pictures at Thanksgiving. One day I'll take a pictures...one day. How cute are those little turkey and fox stickers?! Thank you Michaels $1 sticker books :) w...

Be My Bridesmaid?!

Image
We are finally making some progress on the wedding front! And no, the date is not one of them. But I do have plans to have that by the end of summer (which is quickly approaching). We have started asking our wedding party if they'd like to join us for our special day. There were so many things to think about- who do we want? What will they wear? And most importantly, how will I ask them? (the bridesmaids of course) With the popularity of Pinterest on the rise, I once again felt the pressure on how I would ask the ladies to be my bridemaids. I seriously spent forever on this. I even created a secret board on Pinterest with my ideas. I'm here to say I finally figured out the way I wanted to ask my ladies. I knew the key for me was it had to be cute, match my colors, and be personal. Once I had compiled a list of things I wanted in the box, it was time to write a little note. I decided to be super cheesy and write a poem for their boxes. All I have to say is thank goodness ...
