Bedazzling my Big Girl Pants

(After a great discussion with my parents I decided to change some the words and the title of this blog post. I have been wearing the big girl pants since I left for college 4 years ago. Many of these things I have written today, I began to do when I left for NAU. Now its time to continue learn and add some sparkle to these pants as I grow into them. Hope you enjoy!)

 Well, so these past weeks I have been trying out the whole growing up thing. Mom and I made freezer meals for a month, I have tried to budget, and am in the process of buying car insurance.

I don't mind continuing to grow up but it all seemed to come so fast. Along with working and saving I am trying to prepare for the upcoming school year in the chance I am thrust into a teaching position. I am so excited, yet scared all at the same time. Although I may be scared, I have one less thing to worry about. As of yesterday I have completed my final Arizona Education Proficiency Assessment (AEPA) test. Hopefully I passed but we will know later this month. With that done now all I must do the rest of this summer is: work and continue to clean out clutter. None of these are to hard, and with my GOD, family, and friends here to cheer me on I will soon be ready to wear these new pants all the time.

(shrimp for one of the yummy meals)

So here is an update on my summer doings :)
1- Have daily studied for my exam. Although I do not take it for another month :)
2- Sorrta staying on budget but we will have to see at the end of summer.
3- Started working out and keeping track of food at 180 this week maybe next week 170?
