Goin' back.

Today, I have day three for you: a picture of you as a child. So we're going back, one day, because I skipped it yesterday, and then 13/14 years... when I was a baby (yes, I found it necessary to explain the title).  One tech savvy baby at that.

See all that hair?  When I was a newborn, people thought I was fake.  They would seriously ask my mom if I was a baby doll.  I thought that was rather hilarious.

Love Always

We're allowed to skip right? Great. On to day four...

Because my mom is helping my sister, and I have no idea wear my little kiddy pictures are, I will be doing day three tomorrow and day four today.

So bad habits...
I eat late.  All. The. Time.  I guess in part because I get home from gym so late, but I eat super late at night and it's not good for me!
Another bad habit is staying up late.  I'm so bad at going to bed early, I am dreading going back to school and having to wake up at like 6.  Gross.

Love Always

Boy am I unoriginal. Day Two.

Day two: the meaning behind your blog name.
Well, I do have to say that it's lame.
When I first read much love, illy, I loved the name.  I also loved Lindsey's name and I guess there have been a couple times when I've signed a card or a letter with "Love Always, Margaret".  As for the two dashes, it looked cool with the font. Haha.  But, the URL idea, I did kinda steal that from Lindsey.  But, this has inspired me to come up with a new name.  Or at least a new URL.  Maybe not.  We'll see.

Love Always

Daaaaayyyyyyyyy one.

30 Day Challenge!  Day one: recent picture and 15 interesting things about me.

4. I currently have 955 songs on my iPod.  It's almost full. 

5. I love summer. Best thing ever.

8. I love TinkerBell

9. I once cracked my head open in gymnastics.  4 staples. Ohh yeeaahhhh.
10. I play guitar.

hmm... 30 Day Challenge?

I am thinking about do this "30 Days of Blogging" that my friend Lindsey is.  Partly because she told me it'd be fun, and partly because I feel like everything I have to say is stupid.  Depressing right?  And I guess also because I am no original.  Most of the time.  So, the 30 Days we start tomorrow because I have to go to sleep so I can wake up at some ungodly hour to go to the gym tomorrow. Yay me. (Sarcasm intended.)

Love Always
--Margaret

No life? I think yes...

Currently, I am in one of those depressing states where I have absolutely nothing interesting going on in my life.  Could this be on account of me spending the whole day at the gym? Possibly.  So, I've decided that tell you about... wait never mind, I have nothing to tell you about because no, contrary to popular belief,  I do not live a very glamorous and or exciting life.
Now, I have sufficiently bored you.  No, that was not my goal.  But who knows, something interesting might happen tomorrow...

Love Always
--Margaret

P.S. Prayers for my coach Misti! She is super sick.  Like, I'm pretty sure she has like 3 different infections/diseases or whatever, and she might be getting pneumonia :/

Lazy Daze.

I am in love with those days that you just get to lay in bed and watch TV.  I think I love being lazy more than anything else.  Besides gymnastics.  But, considering how the meet went last night... I am happy I don't have workout today.  Well, I might end up going for a run later cause I hate just eating junk and then not working it off.  Yes, I am weird like that.

Love Always
--Margaret

P.S. I am dreading tomorrow.  I just thought you should know.

Lindsey Peet.

You see this gorgeous chica on the right? Yeah, her name is Lindsey and she is one of the strongest and most beautiful girls I know.  She doesn't quit, she know what's best for her.  She doesn't stop, she just goes in a different direction.  She will never say never, she has Bieber Fever. :)  

One day, she will be a famous designer because her sense of fashion is nothing short of fabulous.

We have more inside jokes then there are stars. 

She has taught me how to stick up for myself.  She taught me sarcasm. [kinda. ;) ] SHE TAUGHT ME HOW TO SPELL!

She is the farthest thing from a dumb blonde. 

She doesn't have a sister, so I tried to be a replacement. :)

We have a song.  It's called You Found Me. By the Fray. 

We both share the love of hot guys and eating tortillas plain. :)

We are both obsessed with Glee.  And Pretty Little Liars.

We both have blogs. You should read hers.  This is the link.

Sometimes, we laugh so hard that we cry. 

But sometimes, we laugh to keep from crying.

We both think the best place to cry is in the shower.  She made me cry.  But, I wasn't in the shower.

[We also share the love of this little cutie, Elizabeth] 

We skype.  One time she read me a book. If You Give a Moose a Muffin.  It was quite enjoyable.  We should skype more. 

This girl right here.  is downright amazing.  And I am going to miss seeing and working out with her every day.  I'm gonna miss the pep talks she gives me when she can tell I'm down.  I'm gonna miss watching her sexy floor routine and even more so, I'm gonna miss watching Griff watch her floor routine and how it's so funny when he practically drools [if you don't know who that is...it will take too long to explain. so just disregard that]. I'm gonna miss homeschooling with her.  And how we "pass notes" in class. Oh, we're so bad.  But most of all, I think I'm just gonna miss laughing with this girl. Laughing at her, laughing with her, laughing at nothing in particular.  I'm just gonna flat out miss this girl.  But everything will be ok.  She needed to do what was best, and I'm happy that she's happy.  Plus, as soon as she gets her licence, my competition season will be over and she can drive so we will have the most gorgeous, amazing, fabulous photoshoot ever. 

Lindsey Peet, 

I love you. 

Nothing else to say.

Love Always

I hate bad days... but I love best friends.

Don't you?
I mean, whenever you are having a crappy day, it just feels good for you best friend to look at you and say, "you are my best friend. I love you, and it will get better,"

Love Always
--Margaret

Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day!

Well, maybe because I spent the whole day at the gym, but I failed to mention Valentine's Day!  I hope everyone had a lovely, romantic day.  Even though it seemed like my Valentine was a box of sweaty chalk instead of a hot boyfriend, I at least spent the day with the girlies I love.

But on the topic of love.  I know a million girls that love Justin Bieber.  Like crazy.  But I do have to say, I have been cured of Bieber Fever and I have a new love... Will Anderson.

This gorgeous blue-eyed hottie is a singer and my new obsession... well, along with his band, Parachute. 

So how was your Valentine's Day? :)

Love Always

So yeah... COLORADO! [part 2]

Let's see, last last Sunday...

I woke up early cause I had a 8 o'clock.

The meet went pretty well, I got 4th on vault, 8th on bars, 10th on beam, 1st on floor, and 5th all-around.  It was an alright meet for me.  But I had to quickly go back to my hotel and pack.  

By the way, this hotel I stayed at was amazing.  The Broadmoor.  It was seriously the nicest hotel I've ever stayed at.  

I have to say though, probably most fun part to my day was my flight back.  I'm pretty sure a quarter of the people on the plane were from my gym.  No joke. 

... I seriously love this girl.  She makes me laugh. Like crazy. 

Anyways, one of the many reasons I love flying on a plane now... the sky.  The sky from outside my window was just gorgeous. The sun and the clouds we just breathtaking. 

I think my favorite part though, was seeing Dallas lit up from the sky. 

And when I got home, I was greeted by cupcakes and the second half of the Super Bowl blasting through my house.  

I can't seem to turn this picture so you're just gonna have to turn your head a funny way. 

And yes, the Steelers did lose the Super Bowl, I AM STILL A PITTSBURGH FAN! 

But overall, it was a fun weekend. 

Love Always

--Margaret

P.S. I'm going to be changing my URL tomorrow to: www.lovealways--margaret.blogspot.com! Write it down!

So yeah... COLORADO!

Well, Colorado was a while ago, but just because it was so amazing, I'm going to tell you about it.  First of all, I'm pretty sure I spent roughly 10 hours in the airport.  And I have to say, for my first plane trip, that was not the best.  Yes, it was my very first flight.  Every other time I could have traveled for gymnastics, I was either hurt, or I couldn't go or something.  Plus, I have a big family with lots of siblings and so whenever we would go on family vacations, we would always drive.

But anyways, this (I'm pretty sure) is Colorado Springs at night, up in the air.  Pretty right? Yes, well my Friday night wasn't very eventful, but Saturday was super fun. First, I went to Garden of the gods with my teammate and gorgeous friend Kathryn.  It was really cool.

Awesome right? 

Me and my Mommy :)

And that's me and Kathryn.

So that was Saturday. And right now, I am honestly way to tired to write about Sunday, so that will come tomorrow.

Love Always
--Margaret

New URL...

Ok, so in about a couple of days I'm going to be changing my URL.  I'm pretty sure it's gonna be www.lovealways--margaret.blogspot.com  Thanks for reading :)

That's some Hannah Glick Photography right there...

So last week during all the ice when I was taking pictures my sister snagged the camera and took this super awesome picture...

Well, she's kind of a photographer and in IB Art an all that fun stuff. I'm not. I take horrible pictures and the extent of my artistic abilities end at drawing stick people. Ohh yeahh... be jealous.

Snow! Snow! Snow!

Hey there. Well, this past week has been uneventful yet I was still busy. Hmmm... Anyways, you know last Tuesday it iced? Yeah well, last Friday it SNOWED!  And as weird as it may seem to some of you people that live up north, us Texans freak out over snow. Especially 6 inches of it.  And even though it did cancel two of my flights to Colorado Springs, it was lovely.

But why is it so dark in these pictures you might ask? Well, it's dark because it's 7 freaking 30 in the morning. And even though the earliest possible flight we could catch is at 2:30 that afternoon, I still found myself hauling my stuff out to my dad's car so I could sit at the airport all day.  But before I left I had  to play in the snow. I mean, it snows once a year in Texas.  If we're lucky.  So, I dragged my brother and sisters out of bed so they could play in the snow with me :)

And so that was the snow last week.  More about last weekend and Colorado later. Thanks for reading.

Love Always

Snow? Ice.

Well, on Tuesday, when I said I would have a post with lots of pictures and information the next day... I might have met Saturday. Heehee, I really feel bad caues I haven't had a real post in forever.  Well anyways, besides me being a horrible blogger, this week has been good.  We did get iced in on Tuesday!  And besides Monday, school was canceled the whole week!  It was unbelievable.  The first thing I saw were the bushes in the front of my house, covered in icicles.  It was so pretty.

Then I stepped out into the street, and that was unbelievable.

 

Don't you love me snow/ice footwear? :)

And so I played outside with my siblings, and my neighbors... and his dog.  

He is so adorable. The dog. 

And, so of course, I had to get a picture of my sister on this memorable day :)

But, even though I miss Texas, Colorado is beautiful.

Love Always

My Oh My...

...it's been too long. I'm sorry! This past week has been crazy!  And in fact, a rarity occurred today in Texas. Snow.  Well, more like ice, BUT STILL.  Everyone in Texas goes crazy over snow; it's kinda funny.  And so, tomorrow, I will have a very long post filled with lots of pictures and events of the past week.

Love Always
