Project 365: Day 254- August 11th

It was a pretty lazy day today. I started the 30 Day Journal Challenge, wahoo! Here's my first page:
The prompt was:

Journal Prompt Number 1: Create a full page design introducing yourself :)
Highlight your name many times in the midst of your design.

And, what can you learn about me through this page?

I chose a few things that I "like" to display along with my name and some neat shapes/designs. My name, is of course, Aly :) (I use "Aly" for the site I'm doing this challenge on so no one knows my real name, lol) And then I have a heart in the middle because I LOVE LOVE :) And there's a little "scar" on the heart because I'm still currently dealing with an issue in my past that caused me a great deal of pain. I'm trying to "let it go" as I posted yesterday, but it proves to be rather difficult at times. There's a green maple leaf because I love nature. I find peace and comfort taking walks, sitting my a creek. Which reveals what the blue "river" type deal is rolling down my page. I love water: pools, ponds, lakes, rivers, creeks, oceans, waterfalls. It consumes me. I think it's the immenseness of it all. I used very little red because that is my least favorite color. There is a sun towards the bottom right corner of the page because I am happy, usually all of the time :)

While working on this page, I listened to the song "Cigarettes and Chocolate" by Angus & Julia Stone. It was very soothing.

I love having music play when I work on things whether it's scrapbooking, homework, lesson plans, etc.

After working on this, I made sloppy joes and fries for dinner. Yes, it's my FAVORITE hehe! And then I got ready and headed to Dad and Corey's softball game and guess what? THEY WON 1ST PLACE! Good job team! :)

And here's mom and I after the game, so proud:

And oh my gosh, GORGEOUS sun set last night while I was driving home :)

Cheers to Project 365!

Project 365: Day 252- August 9th

I spent most of my day working on a project for class and once it was finished, I made Dorito packs for Ethan and I :) He and I enjoyed our dinner, then he worked a little bit on his car, we got ready, headed to Lowes, and went to my dad and brother's softball game :) Here they are getting ready to play:


During the game, someone hit a foul ball and it was literally headed RIGHT FOR ETHAN. I jumped up out of the way since he was sitting right next to me and he wasn't moving. I didn't even have time to say anything to him.... Corey came over and caught the ball right before it hit Ethan's face! No lie. It was insane! Here's a reenactment: (haha)


Thank God for Corey! :)

And after that, Corey got walked... just like they did every time. They were so scared of him, haha

Here's a picture of my momma and me hanging out:

And here's Ethan KILLING BEES! lol His favorite thing to do:

And here's a picture of Ethan and I being... well... weird!

Dad and Corey's team won both games :) Then Eth and I went to JoAnn's Fabrics so he could get fabric for the interior of the Nova. And we headed home...

While home, we were talking about high school. Ethan was a bit of a "big man on campus".. and we were talking about how I wasn't exactly "popular popular".. you know what I mean? And for some reason, the subject came up of girls wearing guy's jerseys. He asked me if any guy in HS ever asked me to wear his and I was like "Nah...." and so, I got the bed ready for us to hit the sack and he comes walking out of the bedroom like 10 minutes later with one of his basketball jerseys and says "Would you wear my jersey?" It was the sweetest thing EVER!! hehe :) Thank you Ethan. That was perfect!


Cheers to Project 365! :)

Project 365: Day 240- July 28th

Ethan got the day off today due to an accident on I-70 so he came home about 10:30 :) So we spent the day together! How did we spend most of the day? Cleaning his bike, scrubbing his bike, putting stickers on his bike... haha :) He loves his new bike (even though the tire did pop... bless his heart)

And after that, I left and went to Dad and Corey's softball game. And they won! Both games.. here's a few action shots of them:

(Dad letting a ball pass him by)

(Momma and her halo watching the game hehe!)

(The guys ready to win this game!)

and after the game, we all went to Steak-n-Shake to spend some time together! :)


Cheers to Project 365! :)

Project 365: Day 209- June 27th

I finally got to see my mom, dad, and brother today! hehe :) My dad and brothers had their last ball game.. and they kicked some BUTT. They beat the team that was playing for 2nd place which is awesome! They did so great and played together well! From L to R in the back row it's: Mojo, Corey (my brother), Justin, Adam, Shawn, Brian, & Ryan. From L to R in the front row it's: Mikey, Logan, Brad (my brother), and my dad! :)
And this is just a candid moment haha! I told them all to be serious, but Adam started making them laugh so that went down hill, haha!

Then momma, Corey, and I went to Steak-n-Shake and enjoyed some dinner! :) It was SO yummy! Oh my gosh, I'd been craving it! I got a double steakburger with lettuce, tomato, and onions... fries with honey mustard... and a salad with ranch! Yummo! :)

Oh and I must say: Ethan went and got a fitness pass to our fitness center and this morning he went to work out! I was SO proud of him, seeing as how when he left I was sitting there eating salt and vinegar chips and playing nintendo, haha! :) And he walked back through the door about 1.5 hours later.. sweaty.. and worn out! I told him how proud I was! And then... he goes into the kitchen, walks over to the bed, and lays down. I turned around about 10 minutes later (cause I was very wrapped up in Donkey Kong 3 haha!) and here's what I found:


So much for a work out, right? haha! Work out.... eat 2 hershey chocolate bars, lol! Gosh, I love him haha! He never fails to make me laugh LOL

Cheers to Project 365!

Project 365: Day 202- June 20th

So, Ethan and I woke up this morning and went cat-fishing with Bobby. It was like 8-noon, so I didn't really think anything about putting on sun screen. It was early morning.. whatever. Eh, yeah, we were on the water *smacks head*... well, the sunburn didn't even show up til late. So, I left about 1:30 and went to my dad and brother's ball game.... and it was there I realized I was SCORCHED.... legs and arms! It's really sore and really hot, but hopefully it tans! LOL

Then, like I said, I went to my dad and brother's softball game:

Here's momma and I watching (YES, my eyes are closed haha!)
We got our dad a new baseball bat... a REAL Demarini, haha!

Happy Fathers Day dad!

Cheers to Project 365! :)
