The Results Are In....

I have been waiting since I turned in my applications in February, and I am proud to announce that I am a PRESBY INTERN!!! I am beside myself, as I have been since I logged in this morning at 4am to see if I had been matched into a program. The results were in at 12:01am, but the site crashed! So I went to bed and woke again to check. Out of about one hundred applicants to this program, I was selected along with 7 other girls. The steps to becoming a Registered Dietitian are growing smaller and smaller :)

I am so thankful for my incredible support system. My best friends, family, and of course, Jordan. Everyone was so supportive, and kept reading draft, after draft, after draft of my personal letter and proofreading my application packet for mistakes. I thought they were going to kill me when I would email them with the subject line being 'This is the last one, PROMISE!'..and it definitly was not! Months of work and patience paid off. Thank you. You know who you are. (and who you are not.)

Shelley and I @ work AKA future dietitians! She matched in the Stephen F. Austin program. Congrats to her!!

TopChef the Tour

Top Chef is one of my absolute FAVORITE shows to watch. I have faithfully watched since season one, and every season has been nothing short of entertaining and enjoyable! The second I got wind of the TopChef Tour coming to Dallas, I began checking the computer daily for dates/times/TICKETS! I finally found out the date, and then it was just a waiting game for tickets to become available. I literally was the second person to sign up for two tickets! Hey, it landed me in the front row with one of my favorite friends, Rachel!

The Tour Bus set up in West Village, Dallas
Rachel and I..and some man smiling for the camera as well!

Than handsome Tre Wilcox and Casey Thompson

Ms. Casey Thompson..I still have a sour taste in my mouth from when she lost it for Carla in the finale this season..but she is still awesome, and beautiful, too!

More cooking demo

Tre and me-YAAY!


It was gorgeous weather and the perfect end to a great weekend. Saturday Jordan and I ran in the Fort Worth Zoo 5K, and then had a much needed date night. We saw the movie 'Fast and Furious', which is a MUST SEE, for sure, if you haven't already. It was a great relaxing weekend..a perfect lead into the bittersweet thoughts I have for Monday morning.

12:01am tonight will determine the next 12 months of our lives. Pray for the best!

4 Years Ago Today..

Jordan made a proposal..to spend the rest of our lives together.

I said yes, and he made me the happiest girl in the world. I love you, Jordan Massey.

The Big-D TEXAS

The Runners ;)

Jordan's Dad, Roy, and ME! LOVE LOVE me some Roy Massey

Jenna in her normal state, love her.

At first I felt silly for running the 5k at this big Boston Marathon qualifying event, but then again..there were tons of people doing the 5k with us :)

Waiting to start..it was awfully COLD.

Jenna truckin', representing RunOn!, her new employer :)

ME!

Mrs. Bree Massey running hard!

Way to go Roy!!

Veeca! Now, that woman can power walk!

FINISHED!

What a BLAST! Beginning of the race started rough..got a monster cramp within the first mile..I could almost not breath at all. I ran it out, though! It was soooooo cold. The last mile my earbud started to fallout and I couldn't get it back in because my fingers were numb!! It all worked out, and I ran the whole way through to the end. My first race in about 2 years. I have missed it! Now, I'm back, or should I say 'hooked', again.

• Fort Worth Zoo 5k: April18th
• Texas Round-Up 10k: April 25th

LOVES IT!

Kenny's 70th Birthday

I love, love, love to get together with Jordan's family, and when we got the birthday invitation for Jordan's Great Uncle Kenny, I began looking forward to the date! Lara, Kenny's daughter, decided to throw him a surprise 70th birthday, and it made it even more fun to see his smiling face when he walked in and saw everyone. She did good by sending him to the races all day with her hubby, which seems to be his favorite time of year! We had a fun night and Lara and Josh's beautiful home in Frisco.

Love my Hubby!

Jenna, a very preggo Ashley, and Amber

Being silly, as usual
The Smoker..it took up half of the street, but no one seemed to mind

Getting some grub..chicken, ribs, brisket, sausage. Do we have to pick just one?!

Jackson decided it was his duty to help open Kenneth's gifts.

Our Birthday Hats..my crazy hair!

Me, J and Kate

I Love These Girls!

This week was Mary Katherine's (royal blue shirt) birthday, and since we are always trying to come up with some reason to get together outside of work, we decided this was the perfect opportunity to go to dinner. We went to a place called Matt's, it's off Gaston in Dallas..a kind of hole in the wall. It was amazing, as usual, and we had a blast, as usual. I am so thankful to be blessed with this group of girls to work with.

Steph, MKat and Rachel

Happy Birthday, MKat!
