So I am officially just terrible.

I am SUCH a horrible blogger. Really. Just terrible.

Ps. I love the word terrible. Isn't that terrible? I mean, honestly I am terrible, but it is just so great!

Here is an update on my life:

I begin my student teaching in approximately 9 days. Weird. I am going to be responsible for roughly twenty 1st graders. Who let this happen? They are responsible for any terrible (see?) things that happen.

In other news,

do you ever start typing a word that you have no conscious intention of typing but do it anyways because you are listening to a conversation or your own crazy thoughts? Yeah, totally just did that.

I am starting yet another diet! It's really not a specific diet, like "Eat nothing purple or protein-ish". It's really just me watching my portion control and general intake of various foodgroups. Oh and lots of water. Can't forget that.

I have been doing Jillian Micael's 30 Day Shred!!!!! It is intense. I mean, for a 25 minute workout, I die. I literally die every time. I am slowly getting stronger so it isn't so bad right now, but dang. Just dang.

Justin and I will be moving back to good ol' KC (!!!!!!!!) in less than a year. It is official. The countdown has become LESS. THAN. A. YEAR. I know this may not be big news to many of you, but to Justin and I, it is the world. Not to be dramatic. But it really is. We miss our friends and family soooo desperately much.

In other, other news

I have discovered the world of VLOGS! I mean, I had heard about vlogs before, but I always assumed they would be awkward. And not funny. And dumb. Turns out, depending on the vlogger (obviously), they are flippin hilar!! I highly suggest you hop your little bum onto youtube and look at Charlieissocoollike, Crabstickz (warning, he can be a little....more than pg 13), Electricfaeriedust, and Nanalew. This is my new-found entertainment and I am not ashamed! I have spent an embarrassing amount of hours on youtube over the past three days surfing through these channels and much more. So, in order to make myself feel a bit less of a bum, you should, too. And then you should tell me about how right I was. Kapeesh?

Lastly, one of my best friends, Emily, has recently become engaged! I am SO happy for her and Cisco. They have the most adorable little boy named Micah. Cisco is such a good man and I just know he is going to be an amazing care giver and man of God for Emily and Micah. And....I AM HER MAID OF HONOR!! In roughly a year-ish from now, I will be standing by her side while she says those certain special vows with a certain special chap. So beyond excited.

Well, I suppose that is it for now! Catch you guys in....well, honestly, who knows? I shouldn't get anyone's hopes up, including my own. Goodbye and God bless!

P90X MAAAADDNESSSS

So, Justin and I are starting P90X...TODAY. I'm a little scared, but a lot excited! We are both so ready to get in shape! Katie, my sister's friend, has been blogging about her up's and down's of losing weight, and it has been such an inspiration to be motivated about losing weight, even when it's really hard and you think you just. can't. Check Katie's inspiring blog out here. 

I suppose this will be another aspect of our lives that I will be documenting on here! I can't wait to see what our results are after 30 days, not to mention 90! We did plyometrics today....and wow....I nearly died. Or puked. Or both. I think it was the whole eating right before I started...which Mr. Tony mentioned at the very beginning. He instructed us slaves to not eat for at least an hour before doing the work out. Oops. Wish I would have known that!

Anyways, I am hoping to post our progress each week on here! Here's to losing at least 2 lbs this week!

Impatience

Wow! It has been entirely too long since we (I) last posted!

I am still trying to get Justin to come around to the idea of really getting into this whole blog thing.

I am also still trying to get myself disciplined enough to actually do this blog thing.

I am too forgetful of a person! That is my excuse and I am sticking to it.

Justin is currently at work and won't be home until about midnight. : ( It's really a bummer how opposite our schedules are. Not necessarily right now, but when we are both in school we barely see each other throughout the week. I'm eager to see how this semester differs from last semester. My field times are in the afternoon as opposed to 9 am, so at least we will be able to sleep in a little together!

This brings me to the point behind this specific blog, so cleverly titled "Impatience". I am so beyond impatient to be finished with school! Justin and I both are. A conversation about just stopping and moving back home right now takes place probably at least a few times a week. Obviously, that isn't what we would actually do. We haven't invested tens of thousands of dollars and 5 years to not actually graduate....but, somehow, it is still tempting to just quit.

I think most of it has to do with the fact that we are both so ready to transition to the next stage in our lives. I will probably regret saying/feeling this, but we just want to have regular jobs, buy our first home, and start fixing it up!

I know that I just need to trust God and know that I chose to change my degree because it was the best decision and what I believe God has chosen for me to do. And I realize that I have been so blessed in life, so for me to really complain about being in school a while longer is pretty silly, provided things could be much, much worse.

Justin and I have been discussing joining a church and pursuing a closer relationship with God recently, and I really think this will help us feel more at peace with things. Maybe we will use this blog as an update of how we are coming along with that. Hmm....there's an idea. Now, if we (I) could just remember to get on here mroe often...

Fin.

Pathetic

So, as of right now I am feeling pretty down.

I just started my, ahem, 9th semester of college. And guess what? I don't have a degree still.

Everyone, including myself, tells me how it's such a good thing that I figured it out before I graduated that Middle School Education isn't what I really want to do, but I can't seem to muster up enough lying to myself to believe it. Even though I am relieved I'm not with that major anymore, I just can't believe that I have acquired enough hours to graduate and I have yet another 2 years ahead of me to attain a bachelor's.

I should be a friggin' doctor. Maybe I will just apply to a hospital and tell them, "Hey, I have enough hours. Just let me operate on someone. I can figure it out."

And yet again, another semester begins with all of my classes requiring pointless, ridiculous, annoying intro speeches. "Tell us where you're from, what you did this summer, an interesting fact about yourself, your favorite color, your social security number, your deepest, darkest secret......blah blah blah".

Ok, maybe the last couple were a lie. But, come on, Teach. Really? Are we 8?

I am just so completely tired of school it is taking every ounce of willpower to NOT just drop out and start working fulltime. The only positive thing about school as of yet is the fact that Justin and I are eligible for over $11,000 worth of grants. Now, that's pretty awesome.

Ok. Enough ranting.

When it all comes down to it, I am finally married to the person that I love!! And we will be done with all of this soon enough.

Catch us in 10 years. We will of course be super rich and famous brewery owners. I will run the coffee/food part, while Justin sweats in the back, stirring huge pots of hops or whatever. Because that's how you brew, right? Ha. Don't tell Justin I said that.

Alright, time to peace out. Adios.

You can call me Mrs.

So.

Is it not insane that I am a married woman?

Sorry to mislead you into thinking Justin will also actually blog on here. This is what's really gonna happen:

I will (maybe) obsessively/annoyingly update about mine and Justin's newly married life with pictures, whitty narration, etc., etc., while Justin plays Modern Warfare 2. While rolling his eyes.

He will come to appreciate this in due time. Don't worry!

Anyways, like I was saying. Is it not the weirdest thing that I am married?! That Justin and I are finally married?!

It has been over 4 years in the making, and I could not be happier. He really is "The One", pardon my cheesiness.

We just moved into our first place about a week ago. Aside from the first glance thought of "huh, that's kinda ghetto", it's a really lovely little apartment. We have been so blessed to have my parents contribute a house hold's worth of furniture. In general, we are very blessed to have such giving, awesome families and friends!

This is why it makes a sad Becca and Justin to be away at school and away from the majority of our family and friends. Why didn't we know we would be such pathetic home-sick people? However, we have met so many amazing people in Columbia!

For example, Carrie Casper and Christina Neely--this past week's birthday girls! I will post pictures later of the fun party we had at Shiloh's. I love those 2 crazy ladies! And if Justin and I had not moved to Columbia, we never would have met them!

So, in the end, it was for the best to be here for a few years.

Now, here comes the time for some pictures of our new place! Please excuse the bare walls. While they are blindingly white for now, they will be filled in soon enough with lots of wedding pictures!!

Retro stove. Right on.

Faaaav.

Pic nook. Now that's a fun thing to say. Pic nook.

So, they got a little out of order, a little crazy. But don't look at me. I'm not the expert blogger, like my sis, Christina. I'm still a work in progress.

I'm off to mess with the template. Look at me, actually thinking I can figure this whole blog thing out.

Catch you on the flip side.
