Been a year... Moving on.

Okay so I fail at being a blogger... It has been almost one year since my last post. I think I am going to treat this more as a personal blog from now on because so much has changed over the last year. I'm not going to go through the past year, just know that it definitely wasn't the best. Okay let's be real 2013 sucked. I am picking up from now.

We (Charlie and I) got back from New Orleans/Baton Rouge yesterday night. We are super exhausted.. It was an OK weekend. Far too expensive and inconvenient for what it was. The French Quarter is beautiful- I love the architecture but the smell.... smells like pee and thrown up Vegas bombs. Gross. Not so sure we will be back anytime soon. This weekend though did show me how up-tight/high strung I am. I AM A PLANNER. I need an itinerary when on a trip. Walking around randomly all day really stresses me out. There's so much to see and do in such a small amount of time I feel like its a waste of time and money going with the flow. WAH! :( Moving on... it's TRYOUT season. Tryout season means two things for me: emotional rollercoster usually resulting in the form of acne and $. It is a very stressful time of year for everyone involved. Moms want only the best for their child & for their child to be successful (don't worry mama's I feel the same way) ... the cheerleaders either obsess or don't work hard enough... and I want all of my girls to make it and kick butt but an hour/week with me isn't enough. SO if they don't do the "homework" I give them it just creates extra stress for everyone. Warning...Coach Katie Rant: Ahhhhhhhhh... just do what I tell you! I promise I know what I am doing!!!!! Jesussssssss. This season, I took special care to eliminate the drama queens and I am very happy with the group of athletes I work with. They are all very talented and dedicated cheerleaders. I am super excited for them to work it out at tryouts and I expect all to make their squads this season. School: School is stressful as well. As of yesterday two of our genetics lab group members quit. That took us from a 5 member group to a 3 member group. :/ That is a ton of work for 3 people to do... FML. But it is what it is and we just have to push through! MAY is on its way. Spring break is in 2 weeks... I'm not doing anything fun but studying ! Yay college. GOAL FOR THIS WEEK: Turn in an excellent genetics paper Get all calc related things done Coach my athletes to be their best Go to church BE HAPPY/CONTENT and keep my Charlie happy. {Will be making KING CAKE AND BANANA BREAD THIS WEEK... IF MY RECIPES TURN OUT LOOK FORWARD TO THOSE POSTS...} In the meantime Stay beautiful on the inside, be fierce on the outside. -K
