Here, there and everywhere

Well hey there. It's certainly been a little bit since I last posted on here. I'm awful at consistently blogging. You may be asking yourself, "Hey Cort, where have ya been?"

Well, I'll tell you...


I've been here a lot, the Science Building at good ole' NKU.
 During the summer, I was excited for this semester to start. I'm the kind of gal that loves routine. I thrive when I have a schedule. And the craziness of summer was not working to my advantage. So, now that the school year has alas begun again, I'm loving that I'm getting back into patterns and habits. However, this semester is already kicking my butt. I'm in all my major-related classes now and a lot of them are upper level. While this means I enjoy the content of my all of my classes, having a science major can be is hard and requires a lot of time. Yuck.


I've also been at Lloyd Memorial High School quite a bit.
Between cheerleading practice, football games, morning prayer sessions with my teamies, dismissals and having to fill out more paperwork than I'm convinced is necessary to become a chaperon, I've spent a decent amount of time at LMHS recently. Jeez, I love this school. I love that the cheerleading season has begun again and practices are back in full swing. And hopefully, we are starting club next week!Waahoo!
FUN FACT: LMHS is the only high school or college IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY to have a Juggernaut as their mascot. I swear that's true. ESPN the magazine even told me so. Pretty cool, huh?


And of course, here:
 Come on, you can't be a NKY Young Life leader and not spend at least 20% of your free time here. Fellowship and contact work, hellllloooooo.


As sad as it is, there really are very few other places that I spend time. Oh, my life. So that's all for now. Maybe I'll post sometime before the next blue moon. Or maybe not.
 Have a good Wednesday!

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...
