Plane Wreck

Yesterday was a good day. My weekends have been pretty lazy which I like in a way, but in another way I like to feel productive as well. Something interesting about my weekend was...

I was checking the news as I do frequently throughout the day since my boyfriend is in Afghanistan and I worry about him constantly. I was on CNN's website and I saw an article about a plane crashing in Oklahoma. I clicked to read it and come to find out, it was a mile away from my house!! So I went and got the best picture I could of this plane wreck. Unfortunately the pilot died and 2 others were injured. Here is my picture of the wreck. That's all for now.

Working out... Fun?!?!

I am really living the life of a teacher having the whole summer off. I thought that it would be a lot of fun at first, but I am quickly learning that it is actually quite boring. I don't have a lot of friends in OKC or much to do, so I revert to my hobby... WORKING OUT! The people at the gym have made comments like, "Are you putting yourself through 2 a days?" and "You are ALWAYS up here." I don't know if this makes me a loser or what, but I keep myself occupied by working out. I found two workout partners 2 weeks ago who I LOVE working out with.

About my workout partners... There is this lady that I teach with and her daughter that work out at the same gym, and they asked me if I wanted to work out with them sometime, so I agreed to. WHAT A WORKOUT!! They don't just do a few little weights.. It is like 2 hours of TOUGH lifting. The lady I teach with (who is 50 by the way), ran a 2:46 marathon so maybe that can give you an idea of how tough she is!! Anyway, I am sore to say the least, but am gonna be RIPPED one day.. wait and see!!! That's all for now.

A Little About the People in My Life

I guess I should start my blog by telling about my wonderful family. I have the most wonderful parents and 2 of the greatest brothers and sister-in-laws (that's 2 brothers and 2 sisters). The newest addition to the Fariss Family is my almost 2-month old niece, McKenna who is the most precious baby ever (of course I am biased) If you put the math together, yes I am the only one without a partner in the family, besides McKenna. Yes sir, I am the odd ball. That's ok with me though...When McKenna gets old enough, she and I can play! I am 23 years old and not anywhere near being joined with someone else for life. Most all of my friends are either married, getting married, and/or have children of their own. So for this reason it makes me another odd ball. Once again, that is ok with me though. I have GREAT friends in my life as well. I am not big on writing everything about me (like twitter or all of that "keep up with someone else's life 24/7" stuff) but I will get on and "BLOG" every once in awhile for those that are interested. :-)

This is my very first post as a real live BLOGGER!!!! I never thought I would be doing this, but I finally gave in, AND it seems kind of therapeutic to type what I think about stuff or about random things that happen. Soooo... I will figure all of this out and pretty soon become an expert blogger!!!
