Semester Recap & Happy Memorial Day

In the busyness of life, I always seem to forget something. Whether it is something at the grocery store or forgetting to get toilet paper at Target when I have already been there three times in one day, it's always a struggle! Like my dad would always say, "I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body." With that in mind, let's recap this past semester of death and how it all turned out.

Even though I literally thought I was going to die from all the stress and thinking, what was I thinking for taking 25 credits, it didn't turn out so bad. My spring 2017 semester is as follows: 10 classes, 25 credits, 7 A's and 3 B's....3.75 cum GPA. I guess I can't really complain about it. I traveled another 12,000 or so miles 4 days a week, and I've already started summer school, with another 3 classes equaling 9 credits. At least this only lasts 6 weeks and then I have the rest of my summer to relax and enjoy summer!

It was another busy weekend at the winery with weddings and our big Memorial Day kickoff event yesterday. It was a pleasure serving locally brewed beer from Copper Trail Brewery to our customers this weekend. We're pretty lucky to say we have a craft brewery right here in town. Carlos Creek Winery has even partnered up with Copper Trail and Panther Distillery for a SKAL Crawl that kicks off June 1st. Check out details on Facebook, and Instagram. $15 gets you a t-shirt and a SKAL Crawl glass. Visit each establishment with your punch card and once filled out, get a discount at future visits, and discounts on tasting flights of wine, beer, and whiskey. The best thing is, you don't even have to do all three places in ONE day!! You can take as much time as you want to do the crawl.

It may be raining today and cold, but it is still a celebration for those who have fought for our country and our freedom. Thank a serviceman or service women if you know them. Thank them for their service and how much we appreciate what they do. Enjoy grilling with friends and family, and enjoy a local parade too! Whatever it is that you do today, do it with grace, with kindness, and humility and smile. You never know what every person is going through, so your kindness might make their day.

Until next time,

USHL and NAHL Faceoff

This is my first story- and one of three about sports. Enjoy...... USHL & NAHL Face-off Ice, snow, and blustering winds don’t keep these fans away from a hockey game. SUVs, trucks, and mini-vans of all sorts fill the parking lot. A line of 50 people stretches from the ticket window out to the sidewalk. It’s game time at the Coliseum, for the Fargo-Moorhead Jets. But the Force is coming into town, and plans to heat things up. Hockey isn’t something new to the Fargo-Moorhead area. From little mites to hockey elites, this town is filled with hockey. Currently, Fargo is the host to the North American Hockey League team known as the Fargo-Moorhead Jets. With the new Urban Plains facility planning to open its doors for the 2008 season, many people worry the Jets are going to be grounded. The Urban Plains Facility will be the home to the Force, a United States Hockey team elite tier 1 team, will likely blockade the hopes of the Jets continuing next season. T...

Where have I been?!?

It's almost June...where has the time gone? I honestly, and I know I say this every single time that I'm absent from blogging, but where has the time gone? So so so much has happened since my last post. As in, I freakin' graduated college! For the second time! With honors! I successfully completed student teaching in May. It was a whirl wind. But I almost forgot the most important piece of all this...and no it isn't a job..I'll get to that part later. I passed EdTPA!!! I'm only the 2nd person to pass it from the HPE department at MSUM. Another girl from my class also passed. She had submitted hers before me so technically she passed first. The EdTPA is one of those things that seemed like an overwhelming task, and really doesn't determine whether you are a good teacher or not. Regardless, I passed, and didn't have to submit any remediation back to MSUM. It was a HUGE relief. Right before I switched from my high school student teaching placement a PE ...

Juice Cleanse

As promised, here is my blog post on how my 1-day juice cleanse went. I know, it's a little late, but my school schedule has been crazy...and it was Grape Stomp this past weekend. To say I'm a little exhausted is an understatement. But regardless, I'm back at it, tackling another week, and doing another cleanse as we speak. As a disclaimer, I did this cleanse on my own and was not compensated for doing the cleanse. I am not being compensated for my review of the cleanse. The reason I wanted to do the cleanse was for one, just to try it out. My other reason was the fact that I've been stuck at the same number on the scale for almost a year. It hasn't changed at all, regardless of all my changes. Even with my exercise this summer, it hasn't fluctuated much. I also wanted to see if by doing a cleanse would help reduce some of my headaches. Lately, they have been getting out of control again. I had read a little bit on how to prepare for the cleanse by eating mo...
