Day 12!!

How you found out about blogger and why you have one!
(I don't know if I am ahead or behind or right on with my days)

I have several friends and family members who have blogs that I read all the time before I got my blog! I wasn't really into the whole blog thing at first, but then Amanda begged me to start one so finally I did and at first it was just a wedding update blog which now has turned into a Okeson life story and update blog!>.<

Day 10!!

Songs you listen to when you are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyper, and Mad!

Well I don't really have certain songs I listen to when I am in a particular mood, I just kinda turn on the radio or my i-pod and listen away!! I love upbeat songs when I am happy, like Pink songs make me wanna get up and dance and make me happy (Raise your glass, so what, and so on)! I like slower and sometimes angry music when I am sad or mad (the band Live, some Hawthorn Heights, or even Eminem) and when I am bored well what ever as long as it occupies me!!! I like all kinds of music from country to hard core metal!!!!!>.<

Day 9!!

Something you're proud of in the past few days!!

Well, I am a couple days behind! Weekends are tough to stay on top of with all we have going on!!! So the something I am proud of in the past few days is....I  made good on a goal!!!!!

We spent the whole weekend with my FAMILY!!!!!! It was so Amazing and Fun! I miss them A LOT!!! We went down Friday around mid-morning afternoonish and took my Mom with us to the parade of homes, it was so much fun to get out and do something other than softball!! We got to see majority of the houses on Friday, that night we stayed with my sister Tanya and her kids, it was tons of fun, we played a game, watched a movie, and just laughed and had fun!!! Saturday we woke up and Tanya made us a yummy breakfast then we met up with my Mommy and finished the parade of home, we also made a couple side trips to the mall and rue I got a couple pants and shirts for work!! Saturday night we hung out with Tanya and the kiddos again and then Sunday we woke up and the whole family went down to Skeet Skeet and had the Champagne brunch at the Eureka, so yummy, then we drove around and hit up the wal-mart and the liquor store!! It was a great weekend, once we got home though the whole weekend went to shit cause we got 10 inches of SNOW at our house :( I hate the snow!!
So... I am proud that I got to spend some quality time with my family!!!! >.<

Side note from the 30 day challenge!!!

Over this past weekend the boys had a softball tourney in Vegas, hence why I did day 5, 6, and 7 on one day!! Any who, Vegas is suppose to be warm and nice cause it is a desert, but it wasn't it was freezing cold, rainy, and windy! We left St. Geezy, after spending the night at the Holden's, at 6:30 in the morning. When we got to Vegas is was raining so they pushed the games back to start at 12pm. Unfortunately we were in Henderson area and the mall didn't open till 10. So we killed time eatin breakfast with some of Jeff's buddies then went to the mall, bounus for me I got 2 new bras from VS!!!! Then they played and Amanda and I froze but hey they ended up winning the whole thing!!! It was pretty sweet casue the team we played in the championship (1:00 am) we had to play twice, we beat them both times, but they were Jeff's buddies!!! After the super long day we got back to St. Geezy at...4:30am I was so tired!!!! But it was fun to see them win another tourney!!! Much Love >.<

This is the boys after the long day and thier second tourney win of the year!!! WoooWhooo way to go boys!

Day 8!!

A list of some short term goals for this month!!

Well since I am already working on short term goals I guess a few for this month are...

1- Drink 64oz of water a day, why? cause it is healthy and I am trying to be healthy

2- Eat a fruit and veggie everyday! Why? It's healthy lol

3- Get more sleep, Why? Ever since I started work I am struggling to get a good nights rest and me with sleep is better than the other way around!!

4- Do a better job at keeping the house clean. Why? My house use to be spotless, now it is such a mess cause I am to tired when I get off work!!!

5- Cook dinner more, Why? Again working leaves me so tired I can't function and for the past 2 weeks we have done nothing but eat out or not eat at all!!!

6- Work on that baby makin'! Why? Well I am tired and it's a work in progress! :)

There are some goals for this month!! Much love >.<

My parents by far have the biggest impact on me, I love them more than anything and am so grateful to have such loving, caring, wonderful influences!!!

Day 6!!

What's your favorite superhero and why??
So I don't really have a favorite superhero, but if I had to choose one I would pick....Catwoman!!Why....Cause she is one of the few female superheros and she is pretty sweet!!!!

Day 5!!

A picture of somewhere you've been to!


This is Lake Bled in Slovenia!!! When we went on our study abroad this was one of the places we went, it was so freaking pretty!

Day 4!!

A habit I wish I didn't have!!!

Hmmmmmm..... I just am not sure about this one! I guess one habit I wish I didn't have would have to be getting angry over silly meaningless things! I swear I always sweat the small stuff, when ultimately it doesn't matter! >.<

Day 3!!!

Post a picture of you and your friends!!

This is a challenge due to the fact that I have several friends, but not all in one picture!?!? I will do my best!!!

Day 2!!!

The meaning behind your blog name!!

When I started my blog it was to inform everyone about the crazy stressfulness of my wedding planning!!! So, I chose a name that went with that but would carry on so I could rattle on about our life!!! So "Liz and Jeff Happily Ever After" was what I came up with!!!! >.<

           ~ Still no luck, I still haven't gotten any ideas!
5) Find a Job!

Softball life, starts again!!!

On the 28th and 29th of January we had our first of many softball  tournaments! It was fun and a long couple of days but they won the drop down CHAMPIONSHIP!!! Great job boys! Unfortunately this begins a down word spiral...there is at least one tournament every month not to mention league starts back up next week :( my poor life!!! O and there is worlds which is in September and they are all planning on going, it's in FLORIDA! The life of a Softball Wife!!!!

Other than all that life is going... I am doing super good with my goals, especially my weekly goals!!! There isn't a whole lot going on this month other than of course softball every Monday night except the 21st and possibly a tourney on the 18th and 19th in Henderson. I almost forgot about SUPERBOWL, I am going for the Steelers, hope they win! We are havin a little party at our house so it should be tons of fun and we will have lots of food!!! ;) Well that's all I got for now, Much Love >.<
