Grad School

So if you didn't know.... I have applied to the UNT Kinesiology Masters program as a back up if I do not get into Physical Therapy School. I have been accepted!!! I know it really isn't that difficult to be accepted into a Masters Program and especially the one that you went through undergrad but I suppose it is an acceptance so I should be happy. It also means that if worst comes to worst (I don't get into PT School) I do have an option. While it will push my whole life back a year... at least I have a plan right? AND I can say I have my BS, my MS, and my DPT! I feel so smart sometimes when I think about my schooling! Anyway, thought I would keep you updated! GO MEAN GREEN!! :)

I WANT an airplane!!!!!!!!

I volunteered for this event called Challenge Air. It is an event for children with disabilities. Pilots volunteer their time and their planes and take children with disabilities up for a flight and depending on their disability they get to fly the plane as well. So I was there for some hours for my Movements of Special Populations Class and my group did a face painting booth for the children. It was SOOO much fun! What made it the most fun is that I got to go up in an airplane too!!!! AND I GOT TO FLY IT!!!! It was one of the coolest experiences EVER! I loved it and now.... I WANT an airplane!

This is the plane I got to fly... It is a torpedo. I would like one of these!!!

September 11th

I was listening to the radio this morning and as you all know I am very emotional about everything. But today they were reading a letter someone wrote about September 11th and they were talking about all of the promises we made on that day. And a lot of them really did hit close to home because even though I was only a Sophomore in High School when the tragedy happened I do remember making promises to myself about what I would do better in the future and what I would work on in my life. Some of the stuff that they mentioned were things like promising to hold your loved ones a little longer when hugging them good-bye and not going to bed angry at your loved ones and no getting angry at the little things in life but embracing the good times and holding on to the joys. Or maybe calling a friend you haven't talked to in a while and make sure all is going well with them. It is a tough thing to do daily but today is a good reminder to put your life into perspective and look at the wonderful things that God had given you and all the wonderful times. I know today I am very thankful that all of my family is safe and healthy and happy. I am so blessed with the people I have been surrounded by in my life. I again promise to try harder to make that extra effort in my life and to take life a little lighter and to take in all the joy that I am surrounded by.


Thank you Jesus for all of the heroes in our lives and for giving them the strength and courage to protect us in times of need. Especially today I thank you for those whose lives were taking on September 11, 2001 and all the blessings they provided the people in their lives. Hold their loved ones close today and remind them that they are loved and safe. Thank you for all you provide me with and all of my blessings. Amen

I LOVE COOL MOM PICKS!

I know I'm not really a "mom" but I am definitely cool so I figure I am allowed to read the Cool "Mom" Picks blog and I really like some of the stuff that is on the blog for sure!! Recently they put up a web-site called ilunchbox.com Mostly it is freaking awesome! I love it!! It has all kinds of stuff you can make with your kids and what a good portion for kids are and all kinds of stuff like that! I think I am a total nerd for thinking that this type of thing is cool so don't feel bad if in your head right now you are saying "Laura you are a total nerd". It is fine I accept it! Anyway if you have children or even if you are like me and you just play mom and haven't ever had the "true" experience of a mom you should check it out. It is a fun web-site!

Taylor My Love

I love Taylor. So very much! I don't have one particular reason for saying this at the time I just do. Anytime I think about him or see him I still get giddy! I just love him so much!!!

I need a hair cut...

But my Cindy isn't cutting hair anymore. Where do I go? What do I do? Any suggestions?

When

When do you stop fighting a battle? A battle that you fight daily and you know you need to resolve but you just can't seem to come to an agreement? When do you just give up and say fine. You win. And let your feelings go? When is it time or is there a time. Is it something that I will have to fight daily for the rest of my life? I hope not!

Physical Therapy

So I turned in my Physical Therapy application yesterday. It was actually a horrid experience becasuse I was sent ALL over the TWU campus trying to find the stupid lady to turn it into. And once I finally did find her I gave it to her and she checked to make sure everything was there, and then we started to chat a little about my application and we got on to the topic of my GRE score(which if you don't know I did HORRIBLE on) and she told me AND I QUOTE that "your chances of getting in are slim". Talk about bringing a sister down a couple of notches. Well, needless to say I pretty much cried on and off for the rest of the day thinking about it. But, I am trying to stay positive even though she is the lady who starts off the applications for being reviewed. I am hoping that all of the people that have better applications than me decide they don't want to be a PT so I can get in. Worst comes to worst I will start my Masters in Kinesiology this coming spring and will be working on that while I wait ANOTHER YEAR to re-apply and then ANOTHER YEAR from then to start PT school (If I get in the second time). So at this time the future for Laura and PT will not start until 2010 if the lady is right. We will have to see though. Say a little prayer or if you are feeling sweet maybe a BIG prayer for me.

Ah the good old days

Lastnight Taylor, Kyla, and I went over to Taylor's parents to just hang out for a little bit. Kyla's baby cousin was over there and some other people. So when they were leaving we all went outside to say goodbye. While we were out there Kyla and I saw Fireflies lighting up. I was holding Kyla and I was telling her how I used to catch fireflies with my brothers and sisters at my great grandmas house. She was not that interested in my story and did her best to pay attention. So we finished saying goodbye and we went back inside and I started looking for a jar. Well of course Ginger didn't have any jars, but she did have a container that I brought over there a while ago. So I got that and I poked holes in the lid and I took Kyla outside and we started looking for fireflies. It was so much fun to see her get so excited about seeing one. I kept telling her to keep her eyes open. And she would respond with "well I have to blink sometimes!" She is so funny. Anyway it was so fun to run up and down the street with her and chase the fireflies around and just watch her get so excited. In the end we caught four of them and we brought them inside while we ate some dinner then it was time to let them go so they could go back to their families. Kyla didn't like that. She cried. I asked her why she was crying and she said "I just really liked my firefly friends. I didn't want to see them go." After some logic about how they have to go to their families and how she wouldn't like it if someone caught her and never let her go back to her family she said a very sad good-bye to them and we went back inside. We had a wonderful time chasing the fireflies around and it was a good reminder of the good old days!
