my family is not very
good about
taking 
vacations, if we do they are usually 
they are surrounded by diving meets or
sporting events that 
us kids are par-taking in

buttttt
two summers ago 
we got to experience 
BOSTON
kelly was playing in the national championship for youth soccer
so the shaffer family packed it up and headed to boston
it was crunk

it was a great trip

day seven: favorite movies

i am cliche
i love typical, easy to follow, love stories

the notebook 
is my all time favor
in fact i might just watch it tonight!

i also love the holiday

such a cool concept of a movie
anyone want to switch houses with me
and come live in birmingham??

i also LOVE
the blind side
ok i am truly obsessed with this movie
my friends and i went to memphis,
and we HAD to go by the Touhy's house
i wanted to ring the door bell and meet the Touhys
but this was the
closest they would let me get

we went to the school too
i felt like i was famous
 and the famous slogan
[its real-i thought hollywood had made it up]


also i love the movie 
harriet the spy

today at work
i was harriet
butt cut and all
dont judge


love yall to the moon

fishing

and actually catching fish



day five: siblings

im late
ahh im sorry

i have two siblings
kelly and jj

here we are in boston

this is a typical picture of us


now to give you a little more info on them
kelly



shes hilarious
we are 16 months apart
she loves to make you laugh
she plays soccer
she is my best friend
my roommate
we have not always been the best of friends
when we were little we would get in the biggest fights
there were stitches, broken bones, and lots of hair that was pulled
my mom thought she would never see the day 
when we would be civil around each other
shes great

now jj
he just turned 16 
so he thinks he rules the world



he is living for the Lord
it makes me proud to see Bible verses all over his room
he sets an alarm to have a quite time
so grateful to have a brother like him
now 
he can be a brat
he is living like an only child now that kelly and i are gone
but 
he plays baseball and he's good
he is a diver
hes crazy
but i love him


these are my amazing siblings!

day three: first love

i love a lot.
i love lots of things.
friends, family, my God, and everything i am fortunate enough to have.

my first love is the relationship
i am in now.
its wonderful, fun,
and straight up amazing.

the first love i felt was from my family
twenty two years ago
they have loved me unconditionally each and everyday.
and i thank my family for teaching me how to love.

my fam has also taught me the unmerciful love
of our amazing and loving God.
the best love i could have ever been taught
a type of relentless love.

so in a nutshell:
i am in love [with many things]
ill continue to love
and im thankful for the everlasting love of the wonderful people around me!

love love love

day two: meaning of blog name

playingrownUP
the name of my blog, is somewhat a resemblance of me
i am in the working world but yet
feel like i am still in 10th grade
in a sense i am playing grown up

i definately do not act in mature ways
but yet i am in a business enviornment everyday
playing a role one day i hope to fulfill
so in a sense right now
i am merely playing dress up
everyday and attempting to playgrownUP

dancing the night away to the
wes lopper band

half marathon?

ok so i ran in
college

but today it came up about running a half marathon
let me explain
i have always and i mean always 
have said i would never 
run anything with the word 
marathon
in it

but you know i am turning over a new leaf
and starting to consider it
my roommates in auburn had said we would train for a full 
marathon
but that never happened

so me and two co workers are starting 
to train for the mercedes  half 
marathon

i am excited
but more worried about actually committing to this almost awful
task

i guess wish me good luck?

Tuesday, October 12, 2010


instead of giving myself reasons why i can't...
i give myself reasons why i can.

i sometimes feel that i always make excuses why i
can't do something
so
i'm turning over a new leaf
i will give reasons as to why i can do anything!

pillow talk

so...
last night kelly and i 
did this because neither of us could sleep
we pillow talked for hours in her room
we laughed till we almost cried
she told me all about bible study
her dreams
our wishes for when we are older
it was fun.

we made a 
list
of great things to do and
eat
and where we want to go
and see.

i loved every minute of last night

we also attempted to cook
it was bad
and made our stomachs hurt.

we ran together and attempted to conquer shawnT's

insanity

last night was great, makes me never want to grow up 
and makes we want to live with
my sister for evaaaaa


love yall to the moon
amy
