beautifully tragic: August 2012
http://www.beautifully-tragic.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 26, 2012. What a wonderful week! I'm trying to to make my blogs all about me but I had a fabulous week and need to share about it. This week was my first official week of school! The students came back Wednesday, so I've had three days of teaching so far. It went so much smoother than I thought it would! I've been trying hard to not be a pushover and show that I can be a tough teacher so the kids don't walk all over me. And they're 7th and 8th graders, so I know they'll try! And her boyfri...

I stole this idea from someone else's blog, but I loved the idea so much, I just had to do it! Credit: My Thirty Things. Lauren, August 2012. 1 Swim to "the point" and back. 2 See New York again. Yes, I have gone to NYC once: March 2009 with my dad. I fell in love with the big city and everything there to see. We only went for a weekend and you can't possibly see all of New York in two days! In July 2013, I finally made my way to Seattle! The last day, we rode the ducks, singing along with the nerdy tour...

Friday, May 10, 2013. Posting Before the Hype Wears Off. Jonathan, Amber, BO FREAKING BURNHAM, me, Logan. Tuesday night was one of the best nights of my life! A few friends and I drove up to Iowa City (two hours from Des Moines) to see the comedian/performer: Bo Burnham! He is a big favorite of ours, and we often sing his comedic songs. After the concert, he announced that he was going to be available to meet people in the lobby area. We were pumped! I haven't much else to say, except that it was an amaz...

beautifully tragic: Best Proposal Ever
http://www.beautifully-tragic.com/2013/07/best-proposal-ever.html
Thursday, July 4, 2013. My brother, Jonathan, has been dating Amber for a year and a half. His idea to propose to her has been set since before Easter. Everyone knew the plan.except for her, of course. Best surprise ever. The first step was candles. We lined the pier and a pathway in the sand with white tea candles. Once they were on their way down to the beach, two cousins crouched to ready the fireworks. I hid in the boathouse and another cousin started the music. I stood anxiously (downplaying...They ...

Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Let's go around the table and say what we're thankful for. The aforementioned ice cream. Today we got free ice cream at work.

I love my parents. Enough said. And jamming out (Music rocks so much! My kitties cuddled me tonight. Enough said. IT'S SUPPOSED TO THUNDERSTORM TONIGHT!

Monday, June 17, 2013. TV Dads are the Best - Lauren's List of Top Five TV Dads. In honor of Father's Day yesterday, I thought I'd compile my list of who I believe are the top five TV dads. Keep in mind I don't watch every TV show, so if you think I missed one, I may not watch the show. Feel free to drop me a comment, though, and let me know who else you think should have made my cut! 5 From 7th Heaven. Played by Stephen Collins. There are plenty of good TV dads to go around, Reverend, don't get greedy.
