Minnesota TWINS!
So on Friday I went to the Minnesota Twins baseball game at the "newish" Target Field. First off...I love that place. It's just such a great environment to be in. I went with four other girls. We had so, so, SO much FUN! The Twins were up by 5 and ended up blowing it towards the end. It was an exciting game that kept us on our toes but still crappy that we lost...the Twins are not doing so hot this year.
Our trip down there was quite interesting. We talked the whole way there and had our fair share of belly laughs until we couldn't breathe. And of course, we made some fun before, during, and after the game as well. I love these girls.
With love,

Um...about that...
Why can days go from great to awful in a matter of two seconds?
That is all.

Sweet Revenge.
So...my bad day on Saturday got so much better yesterday.
I thought it was just going to be a regular boring Sunday, but it turns out it was way better than that.
First of all, I went to church in the morning by myself. I have to say that I love going to church by myself because then I have no one to distract me with anything. However, when I arrived at church a very, very dear friend was there with her adorable twins. They also happen to be the ex-boy's family. I love them to bits. So after church I went and chatted with them for a bit and ended up finding out from Maria that her other sister would be there later with her two kids as well...(YAY for me!)
After church, then, I went home and ended up going golfing with my older younger brother. Needless to say...it was fun, but, I did very poorly. There's always next time! FYI..I tried to post pictures but Blogger is not letting me. UGH :(
When we finished golfing we came home and had a few beverages of choice and played beanbags! That was super fun too. I then got sleepy and took a short cat-nap.
I ended up taking my brother to a friend's house and then went over to the lovely family's house spoken of above. I took the two older kids to the park and we had a blast :) We went back and hung out with all the kids which is always fun because those kids are so darling...ages 8, 5, 21 months and 21 months. That's right...the last two are TWINS! They are so adorable and look nothing alike. Sadly, they are moving to Seattle in about a month. I am heartbroken. That's for another post at another time though! I played ball with Grantie and tag with Hannah and then we sat around the fire after the twins went to bed. I was going to leave about an hour before I actually did, but we got so caught up in talking and catching up that I just couldn't leave. As I said before...I absolutely love that whole family and love spending time with them. It got dark and was time for me to leave :( Before I left though, I chatted with Maria a little while longer...I swear we could talk for days without stopping. We finished talking and then I went home.
When I got home I sat around another fire with my parents and another couple of their friends. That was a great way to top off the night. And today I went to the Randall Cubs baseball game and caught up with some great friends. Overall, yesterday and today made up for the worst day ever (Saturday).
What is the deal with my title you may ask? Spending more time with the ex-boy's family than he does is the greatest revenge I could ever think of. If you didn't know...he gets quite upset (not completely sure why) when I spend time with his family. I can't really go into too much detail...so that's enough! Muahahahaha.
I hope you all had a great weekend!

One of "those" days.
Remember this book? It was one of my favorites.
But yes...one of "those" days.
You definitely know what I am talking about.
The days when you cannot listen to any music because it all reminds you of one thing no matter what kind of music it is.
The days where not even retail therapy can help you. I know this from experience...did you know you can wander up and down EVERY SINGLE aisle in Target for TWO HOURS and still not be able to make your mind focus on something else?
The days where you just break down randomly because you have too much on your hands and it is nothing anyone can help you with.
The days where you have to text seventeen people just to get that one person off your mind.
The days where mowing the lawn is fun...because it keeps you busy.
The days where you just have to unload on someone, who you do not talk to often, just because you want one more person to know your story.
This was my day. From the moment I opened my wet eyes this morning to the time I'll close them tonight. Thank you for listening to my raging tangent. I'll try to (WILL) make my future posts less depressing.
Hope you're having a better Memorial Day weekend than I am!
With love,
Alissa
OH! The only upside of today is that I had a job interview that went fairly well AND that I found some good stuff at Target. :)
With MORE love,
Alissa

Am I Crazy...?
I enjoy running. To many people, that makes me crazy...and yes, I believe them. I am crazy. However, I'm not a running expert and I've never run any races before. That's why I've finally decided to start! I've been running for a couple years when I really got into working out, but I didn't see the enjoyment of running until this year.
What really wracked my brain and made me decide to do this was something I went through a little over a month ago. Yep, you guessed it...a breakup. A really amazing, super nice, extremely comforting friend asked me what I was doing for myself in all this. I didn't have an answer. I've always enjoyed running and I'm a huge competitor so I thought, 'why not put the two together and race?' So I am. With my mom I am doing a 5K, 10K, and half marathon this summer...and let me say...I am PUMPED!
As much as I enjoy running, it's definitely not as easy as I wish/thought it were/was. I used to be able to run 5-6 miles EASY PEASY. But now? Yeah, I can only run 3.5 on a good day! I guess it means I need to get on that. I have no idea what happened. Perhaps it could be due to the lack of motivation that I once got from a certain someone. I try as hard as I can to motivate myself but nothing works as well as trying to impress someone.
Back on track here...running, I have noticed, has also made my pants bigger! Or me smaller, I suppose. So for this fact alone I encourage anyone to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather...especially the day we had today here in Jamestown!
I honestly hope I continue to enjoy running until I am physically no longer able to stand. :)
Happy running,
Alissa :)

Here goes nothing...
Wow! My first blog...hmmm...I have yet to know HOW I exactly feel about this but I guess I'll give it a shot. Let's see...I have been reading blogs now for a few months (my first one actually started in August of 2010) and have decided to jump on the bandwagon. I did not realize how much fun this could be until I actually tried it. I mean, I absolutely LOVE reading other people's blogs. I must say I'm a little of a "blog creeper." I have never officially "followed" anyone's blogs, but I will definitely start! So bear with me now as I take my journey of life PUBLIC!
And in case you were wondering...here I am! All smiles on my birthday after getting back from my vacation to CABO SAN LUCAS...more on that in a later post :) (I really wish I were still that tan. *Sigh*)
