OAR and the weekend

Last night (Saturday) was OAR...absolutely amazing!  I had a blast with the fam!  We were singing at dancing the entire time.  Always fun!  During the day yesterday I went to the beach and got so sunburned it is pathetic.  I have a crazy line where the string on the back of my bikini is.  Terrible!  I am going into my third week of summer school and I have SO much work.  I am trying to keep my head from spinning off, but I am half way there so that is good.  Plus I get a break because  I leave for Atlanta to visit my grandparents on Wednesday until Sunday.  I am thinking it is going to be pretty hot there this time of year, but the short break from school will be great!  Speaking of school, time to write a paper on why everyone should spend at least 15 minutes of quiet time everyday!  

Last weekend at a glance...and what is to come this week

This weekend was a pretty fun one!  Friday night I went to the Del Mar Fair and saw Earth, Wind, and Fire.  Great show as always!  Saturday I went to the beach with some friends and the water was absolutely lovely.  My family set up our projector out in our backyard and watched movies two nights.  Always fun!  I taught spin on Saturday morning and that was a great class!  I have been teaching a lot lately and still love it.  It is way too much fun to torture people.  Lol.

 This week I am looking forward to the OAR concert on Saturday night!  I LOVE OAR!!  I think that might even be an understatement.  I would have to say my favorite songs of theirs are "Untitled", "Lay Down", and "Hey Girl"..."Crazy Game of Poker" is right up there too though.  Anyway, the whole fam and some friends are going so it should be a blast.  Other than that I have summer school which is always sooooo fun and work.  

Until next time,

Bartley

I just finished a great book!

Hello all!  I just read a great book and wanted to share it with you...it's really a coffee table book and a short read.  (By the way I LOVE to read and usually am reading multiple books at a time so get used to it!)  A girl from my small groups mom gave it to all of us.  I read it in a day!  It is called, "Just Who Will You Be?" by Maria Shriver.  I would recommend it to anyone!  It helped me to look at who I will be.  It helped me to put my worth in the kind of person I am and not look for fulfillment in the wrong places.  So many people look to their work and material things to find pleasure in this life.  The book talks about who you are and what you can do.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
