a little of this and a little of that...

Hey everyone!  Happy Monday!  Well as happy as it can be.  No matter how rough they are, you're one day closer to the weekend when they are over!  I have literally been going all day! I'm talking up since 5 AM and a Physiology test at 8, whew.  Glad it's behind me now!  So today is kinda a mash up of a few things.  


First off, HOUSE UPDATE! Haha.  Those words make me so happy!  Anyways, we went over the floor plan last night again.  (Which I am still completely in love with!)  While talking we decided to add a few things and switch some things up.  We are adding a sun room on to the back of the house, we're thinking to either use it as a den or a breakfast room.  And we're adding an additional master suite, so that brings the room total to 4Br 3Ba.  (:  We also added on to the main master bedroom closet (YAY!).  I am all about some closet space!  And we rearranged how the kitchen will be set up.  So that is what's new there.  Will try to get a pic of the plan this weekend when I go home.  Hoping to get rolling soon.  


Secondly, I am just in a major hair slump.  I have been growing my hair out FOREVER now.  Well. Not really, but I'm growing it out from a stack so it feels like forever.  Anyhow, it is just now past my shoulders and partially down my back so I can do something with it now.  What's the slump about this?  I have no idea what to do with it other than straighten, curl, or out it up.  I need inspiration.  So if anyone has some, comment and let me know!  


Third, kinda goes along with #2, but does anyone have any miracle hair/nail growth secrets they'd like to share?


Anyways, that was just some thoughts from today.  I have to force myself to study some Organic Chemistry now... Woo! Haha but seriously that stuff is hard. :/  Happy Monday everyone!

Thursday!

   Okay, so Thursday's are not always the greatest.  But I use them as my catch up day.  Tomorrow is Friday which means after 11:20, no school and relaxing.  Except for Saturday, which I have to spend cleaning my car and studying physiology.  Blah.  Oh well, still better than being an hour and a half away from my family and Trad AND having to study!  Anyways.. I walked 2.6 miles Tuesday in less than an hour.  which sadly, is an accomplishment.  Definitely still working on my time and my running ability!  There is no new news on the house as of now, but that's ok. (:  Basically, I'm using today as my catch up day and get stuff done so I can relax day!  Wanted to give you guys an update before I went out to do my walk/jog for today!  Have a great Thursday and be sure to come back tomorrow for High 5 for Friday!! 

Megan!

Slacker...

     I feel SO bad that I've been so slack posting lately.  My life has been insane to put it lightly.  But things are going to start looking up, they HAVE to.  & more posting will start happening!  But, speaking of slacker.  I'm JUST NOW starting on some new years resolutions.  1) eat healthier. 2) get in shape.  3) get organized.  4) get that 4.0 this semester. (Missing it by thissss much sucked last semester.)  Anyways I know those are nothing major.  Just some personal goals.  What are you guys working on for the new year?  Comment and let me know!

House Update!!

A Few New Things....

     Things have been super busy this weekend!  I have been enjoying time off from school with my family and Trad so I'm sorry I haven't posted but I'm sure y'all understand. (Did I mention earlier that I live in the south?)  But I was able to make it by where the house is going to be!  And I took our before picture finally. (: 

The house front will be seen from this view eventually. 

     Trad and I  also have gotten the shower for the house.  A little out of order, I know.  But when you find an awesome deal.  How do you argue?  

I forgot to take an actual picture... So here is the catalog picture (:  

     So that is my house update so far!  Hopefully more soon. Have a great week!

High Five For Friday

high five for friday 

My latest blog attempt is an idea from Lauren at From My Grey Desk.

(Going to try to link up to her blog as soon as I figure out how to.)

In which I will spot light my five favorite things from this week.

So... lets go!

1.

Happy to be getting back in the swing of a normal routine.  Even if that means classes are starting and studying has to start happening.

Lovely view of my dorm ^.

2.

I know I already posted about the flowers... But they were definitely one of my favorite parts of this week.

3.

The little girl of a family friend has taken up the idea of being a mini-me.  Very flattering and funny.  Cracks me up every time she picks my bag up and says "It's heavy Megan!"

4.

My spoiled puppy always makes me happy....

Not a posed picture. She seriously sleeps like that.

5.

I have been LOVING my first pair of Converse shoes!  I'm a bit of a shoe freak anyways.  But these are amazing! 

That's my high five for this week!  Hope you enjoyed it. (:

Surprises!

So I knew Trad was coming to visit tonight. But was completely shocked when I met him out side my dorm door and saw that he had brought me my favorite flowers!! We then went to O'Charley's for dinner. Yumm. So all in all an awesome night!

Oh. Also trying this mobile posting. Seems easy enough. :)

New To This....

Hey!  This is my first blog post EVER.  I'm pretty excited about it too!  I guess to start out a little bit of info about me would be good...

My name is Megan.  I live and attend college in South Carolina, planning on becoming a RN.  my school is about an hour and a half away from my hometown so I travel home on weekends.  I have a boyfriend, Trad, and we've been together for 4 years now.  And we are planning on starting to build a house this summer!  Kind of where the name "From The Ground Up" and the whole idea to do a blog came from.  But I think I might also do some everyday kind of posts.  We will see how it goes! Anyways, some more random facts I have a chihuahua, she's spoiled.  I also love crafts and cooking and I'm super addicted to Pinterest!   Basically, I'm really excited about this blog.  Documenting our progress on the house among other things.

Trad is actually on his way here for his weekly visit.  So maybe a post later tonight or tomorrow about whatever we can find to get into!
