C-A-T-S CATS CATS CATS

In case you've been living under a rock the past few days and haven't heard UK WON THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!

Obviously, I love UK. Even though I transferred and no longer go there, I love it just as much. Last year I got to go to Houston, TX to watch the Final Four with my dear friends Maggie and Bonnie. (Read about it here.) Unfortunately, as we all know, they lost in the Final Four but it was still a wonderful experience.

This year, I didn't win the student ticket lottery to go to New Orleans (somehow I am still considered a student there...awesome) so I figured the next best place to go was Lexington! Although I would have killed to actually be there when they won it all, watching it on campus was great. I watched the game with some friends then hit the streets to celebrate our win! It was so fun!



Things I miss about UK:
1. Diet Coke... NKU has Pepsi products and it makes me want to gag.
2. Living with a hall full of strangers that became my best friends.
3. Chicken Pestos and Ovid's in general.
4. The fun banners hanging on everybody's houses before games!
5. Walking everywhere... gas is expensive!
6. The school spirit. If you go to UK, you LOVE UK. Everybody has that in common and it really is a bond. It's hard to explain but if you go there, you know what I'm talking about. BBN.

Things I do not miss about UK:
1. Parking in K Lot. Yuck.
2. Angry squirrels throwing acorns at my head as I walked to and from class.
3. The gravel pathways in front of White Hall that become death traps when it snows and gets icy.
4. People asking me what sorority I was in before asking what my name was.
5. Walking 25 minutes to get to the Agriculture building on cold January mornings.
6. The smell of Commons... sick.



If I could marry this basketball team, I seriously would.
How precious.

New Year

A new year has begun and I feel like all the good bloggers post about the new year. They either look back on big moments in the past year or look forward to upcoming events in the new one. I sat in front of my computer for a long time trying to think of something worthy of a new years post. And I can't really come up with anything. I'm not really a big new year person. To me, nothing really changes except that I'll spend the next four months writing 201 4 5. Which is so annoying. I've made the same new year's resolution for the past three or so years. It's to floss everyday. And I already know that I'm going to fail. I know this because it's the third consecutive year that I've made this same resolution. I want to floss. I enjoy the thought of myself flossing every day. And I hate the condescending look my dentist gives me when my gums start bleeding the millisecond after the floss hits them. I just never actually do it. It's hard for me to l...

How we paid off our debt in ONE YEAR!

Image
You guys... we paid off ALL our school debt.  This whole thing started last January. We were at the Young Life 75 conference in Florida and Dave Ramsey spoke. He was hilarious and wise and I instantly fell in love with him. He gave us all a free copy of his book. I thought that was nice but unnecessary for us. We already "budgeted" and had a (looooong) plan to pay off our debt. But it turns out that Dan needed something to read on the airplane home. By the time we landed in Ohio, Dan had figured out that if we followed this plan, we could have all our student loans, which were our only debt, paid off in 14 months! This sounded a little crazy to me but Dan was sold, so we gave it a try and whataya know... 13 months later and we're already debt free! Here's a picture from that trip last year where we heard Dave Ramsey... and went to Harry Potter World!!! Here's how we did it: Preface: None of these are our original ideas. ZERO. We literally just did exac...

We're moving... again!

For the past two months we've been renting a house. It's a great house. It's huge and is the perfect location and has a lot of character. Though, there are some down sides to it. It's very old so the pipes froze a lot in the winter. The walls are plaster, not dry wall, so there are lots of big and unsightly holes. Our backyard is a muddy mess. Stuff like that. But overall, I like our house a lot. Unfortunately we have had a few disagreements with our landlord. After a miscommunication in Mid-February she offered that we could break our lease with no penalties if we wanted to move out. At first, the idea was daunting. We had literally JUST unpacked our last box and hung up our final piece of artwork on the wall. We couldn't imagine packing everything back up again, transporting it, then unpacking again. But we had signed a two year lease and just weren't sure if we could stomach another two years of living in this property. So we started looking around, just...
