Wow! It has been forever since I have written a blog on Mibba. I am feeling so much nostalgia just typing in this box.Let me just get straight to it then!I so, so loved my time as a member of staff on Mibba - from the magazine, to mod, then to admin. I loved every single minute of it. I remember when I first started on the Mibba Magazine hoping that one day I could work up to being a mod, but...

I am going to try to use this blog as a way to process all of my thoughts, because I am struggling so deeply right now and writing has always helped me put things together.On Tuesday, November 1st, my sister went into labor, ready to deliver her first child, and both our parents and her husband's first grandchild. Her name is Ava and I say is because I don't feel ready to say was. Ava was very...

Well, Mibba, I am now a married woman and I just got back from my amazing honeymoon to the last frontier: Alaska! Our wedding was July 23, but we had to wait a week to take our honeymoon, because the particular cruise we wanted only leaves on Saturdays and we didn't want to miss our entire wedding, haha!.Our wedding went off mostly without a hitch (besides my grandpa showing up to the wrong church...

Guys, I'll be honest. Teaching is one of the most rewarding and most difficult jobs in the world. I am thankful for everyday that I get to be a teacher, but the man always tries to bring me down (aka horrid evaluations done by bureaucrats who have no idea what teaching is like).To be honest, my evaluations are amazing compared to some of my peers, but I decided I needed a little teacher pick-me-up...

I have always wondered what it was like to interview the wife of my favorite celebrities. Since I was a little girl, I imagined interviewing Barney's wife and finding out what it was like to be married to the most fabulous purple dinosaur ever.I can't interview Barney's wife because I'm pretty sure Barney was gay, but I can interview the next best thing: JamieAllOver, who is the future wife of...

Well, I'd say it's about time I finally make a blog about this, since it was over a month ago, but better late than never!To celebrate a successful first year of teaching, my boyfriend (Brendan) surprised me with a 10 day vacation to Disney World/Universal Studios in May. It was probably, quite honestly, the best 10 days of my life.And on May 17, 2015, Brendan asked me to marry him while we were...

I have been thinking about what to put into my re-introduction blog for a long time, but I don't think I'll ever be able to come up with something that seems good enough to re-introduce yourself to something that is such big part of your life, so I'm just gonna jump right into it.I think the essence of me can be boiled down into just 5 little categories:1. Me + My Family2. Me + My Boyfriend3. Me +...

Happy New Year, everyone! I don't know about you guys, but I am excited to see what this year will hold. I have a feeling it's going to be a really good year!I'm not going to do any New Year's Resolution this year, but I am happy to say that I completed my resolution for 2014 without fail! My resolution was to write a blog on Mibba every single day, which I somehow managed to do. I don't know how,...

I am currently a renter, but I am hoping to have money saved up to put a decent down payment on a house within the next few years. Bad news is that I'm not the best at saving up money. I'm not a big spender that likes extravagant things. My issue is that I buy lots of little things that eventually add up. Oops.Does anyone have any big tips on how to save money that don't involve cutting out those...

I was doing a bit of thinking while watching my boyfriend do some programming for his Masters, and I realized 2014 was a pretty big year! I dealt with a lot and learned more things than I could ever begin to count. It had some really, really good parts and some really, really bad parts, but overall, I'd chalk it up to a win!Of all the things I learned about myself in 2014, I came up with a list of...

Lately I've noticed that I don't really have too many friends in the One Direction fandom anymore, and that makes me really sad because I used to have so many friends that were as obsessed as I am. A lot of them have moved on to other randoms or just left Mibba, which is understandable.But, I am still incredibly infatuated with the boys, and I'd really like to have some friends in the fandom...

Yes, I'm about to talk about that dreaded number. Not your weight. Not your age. Not the grade you got on your last final. That number that makes some people fall to their knees.How many sexual partners have you had?Now, I'm not asking this to get an answer out of anyone. This isn't some poll to see the average number of sexual partners on Mibba. This is something a little bit more than that.I...

In 10 years, I'm going to be 33, which is enough to make me want to barf by itself. It really is crazy how fast life goes by.As far as my career goes, I hope that I will still be teaching full time. Hopefully I'll be in a better district with better pay, but we'll see.By then, I hope to have been married for about five years, give or take a few. I also don't think marriage is too far off for me,...

It is that time of year again where I have too many places to be all at once, too many people that I feel obligated to see and too many things I would rather be doing (sleeping being #1). I do love spending time with my extended family, but they can be exhausting! Too many people with too much going on. And a bit judgy, but hey, they're family.For my holiday, we went to Brendan's grandparents...

I don't have plans to get published anytime soon, if ever, but I know that's the plan for a lot of Mibbians. I think it's natural for writers to want to get published.Those of you who do plan to get published one day, hope to get published or are apprehensive about publishing, do you have any fears about it? There are lots of steps that go into getting something published, and I think a lot of...

I'm getting ready to go to a trivia night with my boyfriend and am feeling like I could use a little pick me up, so I decided to compile some GIFs that never cease to make me smile/laugh/roll over onto the floor in a hilarious death ball. Here we go.Oh, Ron Swanson, you slay me.I want to watch The Lego Movie over and over again.Roger is probably my cartoon soulmate.Drag queens are the only people...

I think anyone who knows me knows that I love One Direction, which is also pretty evident from my story page. I just think they're pretty awesome.One Direction was on SNL this past Saturday. They did this dancing skit where they were adorable and sang two songs off of their new album.But, here is my issue. I'm not sure if anyone else saw it and feels this way, but the whole time they were singing,...

Adam Levine is one of those gorgeous people that I could just look at all day long. I don't know what it is about him, but his face is just so perfect. Rewatching his episode of Saturday Night Live is like the best thing ever because it was absolutely wonderful.If I had to put money on it, I'd say it has something to do with his smile. And his stubble. And undeniable charm. He is second next to...

As per my 2014 New Year's Resolution, I have been blogging everyday for the past 352 days. It has been a long and trying time, but it is almost over!I love blogging. I really do. Sometimes it's just a pain in the butt to think of something to blog about each day, especially when I don't always have time to sit down at the computer and write down something super thoughtful. I am happy I made the...

Today my boyfriend and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary! I am still not sure how we managed to stay together for this long, but I love him to pieces and think I'm probably the luckiest girl in the world. Things are absolutely perfect aside from the issues with his parents, so I'm looking forward to another year with him and hopefully many more in the future!To celebrate, we started out with...
