THAT yellow bus :(

Have you ever felt that point in life where hardly ANYTHING is going your way? Where one thing bad, leads to another bad, then something feels good, and one ten time’s worse thing happens 2 hours later. That right there ladies and gents, was my day.

I just feel like I have bad luck, I nanny for 2 very very very special little men, I take them to school and pick them up, and supervise them before and after school. Today, like every day, at 3:15 went to pick them up. I was in the carpool line, where there are approx. 8-10 cars every day. We just line up on the far side of the parking lot and wait till they are released and brought out to us. I was the last one in line, minding my own business and had been there for 4-7min give or take a few, on twitter to be exact. All of the sudden I felt my car move? And then I heard a horn? All strange, I look in the back mirror. The school buses were entering at this time, and one had hit my car and proceeded to honk at me. Needless to explain what all went down but I now have a YELLOW scratch on my car, and the drive did absolutely nothing after knowingly had hit me. BAD LUCK!? Yes.

Now that’s off my chest!! Tomorrow we leave for Jamie’s Birthday Weekend in Colorado :D I am traveling to Omaha, Nebraska tomorrow with Emily Mattke (my brother A.j’s girlfriend) and Lindsay Supple (A Cousin on my Supple side) and we will be staying that night in Omaha with some of my old friends. Feels so nice to even be going back home for an evening, see some old faces. Always puts a nice prospective on life and where I am from. On Friday morning we leave at 7:15 AM with 5 other people and head to the B-E-A-utiful Colorado! Bridget will be picking us up from the airport. I am so every excited to see her, it has been a long time since we have got to catch up. Should have a great time, hopefully the herniated disc in my lower back will give me no issues :/

SO- here is to a weekend away, one more car payment paid, and good weather for all! Happy February being over, and enjoy the weekend.

Summer……………………………I’m waitin for ya!

Davenport, IA for the evening

I know that I am only 21, but I feel like I have experienced soo much in life, and it has made me appreciate the little things that go on from a day-to-day bases. Of course like, monumental things in life like vacations, holidays, and things of large matter are always great too, but there is nothing like friends and family. Tonight, I traveled to Davenport to babysit and see my sister for her birthday, I knew it would make her day if she didn’t have kids for the night, so me being the amazing, beautiful, fun, aunt , and sister I am made the trip. I ask one of my best friends, Sarah, to come along and also another close friend Maggie who goes to St. Ambrose, which is like a mile away from Jamie’s. It Blows. My. Mind. how good they are with my niece and nephew. It was a breeze, we got dinner, had cake, did baths, and got ready for bed all with smiles and laughs. I don’t know, just thinking back made my mind just start turning. How can two people in my life, mesh so well with my family? Like..hello…blessing? for sure. Then Jamie and Dave came home from dinner, kids were, well at least ready for bed, but Jamie sat down to talk to us ‘young stallions’ and we just laughed and laughed like we had all been best friends for 10 years.

I guess im getting at how something so simple as babysitting for my sister, and all being together for not even 3 hours on a Tuesday night, makes life so so so much worth living for. There is not a day that goes by that I do not thank God for the people and family that I have been so honored to have. I appreciate every single person who I come in contact with day in and out. My family-wow, where to even start? From my sister to my fifth cousins, to my crazy aunts to awkward hello’s at holidays, I love every single one of you, and I am so stinkin’ blessed.

That is that for the night, Solon Spartans got another 'W', God is good, and Maggie is going to break Kaylee and feed her to the ducks! (maggie taught kaylee this tonight as a joke) :)

Happy 30th Birthday Big Sister :)

Today my big sister that I look up to so very much, turns 30!  I have no idea in this world where I would be without my sister, she is one of the smartest people I know, has brought two of the cutest kids I've ever seen into this world, and I can never thank her enough for the advice and guidence she has given me thus far in life. Happy 30th sis, see you tonight, and I CAN NOT wait togo to colorado with you!

Manic Monday

NEVER... ever.. did I think I was the type of girl to like to write, but with the new year well underway, and many many changes being made in my life, and in many lifes that effect my own, I find myself thinking much more then the carefree Abby, and I catch myself saying, "I need to remeber this." or "What was is that got me through that day?"
So, here I am beginning a new adventure, or addiction, I titled it; Everything Abby :) I will be up front and honest now, I am a TERRIBLE speller at times, and my grammer could use some work. But if it is an issue for you, like it will be my mother, just move on!

P.S- I am COMPLETELY new at this, and I will be editing and adding all day today, tomorrow, and forever..just bare with me!
