All About Shelby

So, I was having a tough time coming up with ideas for my blog and my sister sent me a few ideas that I could use and one of them was phobias, so that made me think about everything and it made me realize that I have a few fears in my life that really really scare me. Also, I am gonna try and get pictures for this blog as well.... but it will freak me out so I hope you realize what I am going through lol.  I will start with the least and end with the biggest fear! Here we go! =) 3. Clowns. OMG. Please do not laugh because I am not kidding. I am petrified of clowns. I have no idea why but they scare the shit of out me. I have this fear that I am going to be locked in a carnival or something and the only things around are clowns. I remember one year we went to Screamfest and there was a clown walking around and I looked at it and thought to myself... he is gonna come up to me I know it. Well what do you know, as we are waiting in line he comes up behind me and whispers in my ear...

So, in these last few weeks, or month I suppose, I have decided I wanted to add some things to my body hahah. That sounded silly. I meant, tattoos or piercings. SO. I decided to show them to everyone!!! First off, I got my tragus pierced. I have always thought it looks cool but I thought it would hurt SO badly. I finally built up the courage to go and do it! It didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would which is nice but it definitely wasn't pleasant. It isn't healed yet, and it does take awhile to heal but hopefully it will be soon. It doesn't hurt anymore which is nice! ;) The next thing I decided to get was my tattoo!! Now I took the time and looked at alot of different quotes and images that I wanted. I knew I wanted it on my right forearm for personal reasons but I just needed to decide what exactly I wanted to get done. I found this quote:  I loved it right from the start but I wasn't sure how exactly I would get it done. I chose this quote bec...

If you have met me before, perhaps you would say I am confident and know exactly what I want? Well the truth is, that is what I want to portray but I couldn't be farther from the opposite. One day I will want one thing and the next I wont even remember it. To be completely honest, when I was in high school. I wanted to be a teacher. Down to the core and not only did I want to be a teacher, I wanted to go away for school. Obviously, things happen and change. So, years out high school, I have gone to hair school.... (NO THANKS). It was a mistake and I should have been mature enough to realize that before I went. Well I didn't and here we are. I decided last year that I wanted to go back to school, so today I am in school for Human Services and I really do enjoy it. I can't get teaching and education out of my head though. Taking this course has really been great because it has got me to really start focusing and thinking about my future. I really want to go on and get my b...

So, I thought it would be fun to introduce my family... Well sort of do what I can! So, I have a confusing story here when it comes to my immediate family. There's me! I am the baby.  My parents are still together after I believe like 27 years and then there is my half brother and sister. Now both of my parents were married before they met each other. My mom never had kids from her previous marriage but my Dad did! Now enter Paige and Casey! They are 9 and 10 years older then me. My brother is the oldest! HERE WE GO!!!! Casey is 10 years older then me and to be completely honest we were never really that close. He was pretty quiet growing up but having such a huge gap it is kind of hard to be close to someone! He is very very smart, loves to read and loves hockey! He has season tickets to the NHL team here. He works very hard and I truly admire him for that, he has 2 beautiful children and an amazing wife. Pam is probably one of the strongest women I have ever met, ...

Well, since I last wrote my life has changed a lot I suppose. I am adujusting to life alone and it really isn't bad haha. It definitely took some getting used to though. I have a very very busy life so I think that, that helps. I have school 4 days a week, practicum 4 days a week and work 3 days a week and on top of that I go to the gym at least 4 days a week. So I really don't have any free to think! The  biggest change I have made is the gym, I am really starting to enjoy it now. When I first started it wasn't very fun obviously but now it is something I look forward to either at the beginning or the end of my day! I work out with my friend Brittany and my trainer Alina, some days I really dislike her but after the work out I learn to forgive haha! It definitely different but I am enjoying the hard work. Another new thing I have been doing is my practicum for school. I work with ESL students (English as a Second Language). It is so much fun, I really enjoy it. It...

So, I know I have been pretty absent for about a month here, I do apologize. My life has changed sooo much over the last month I didn't even know how to start this blog...So the last blog I wrote was about Newfoundland, and since then every single thing in my life has seemed to change... My fiance and I are no longer getting married. I really don't want to get into it at all, but it just didn't work out. Since then I have really been trying to keep my mind busy. I am going to school 4 days a week, I work 3, and go to the gym 4 as well. So I do have a really busy life. My only day off is Saturday actually!! I don't seem to have time for much anymore. However, throughout this last mishmash of a month, I did have my birthday and on my birthday my sister also had her baby!! It was a surprise so we didn't know what she was going to have!! We were all hoping for a little girl though, just because she already has 2 little boys. It felt like forever to get to her c-section ...

So, obviously I haven't written since Christmas.... Well that is because I was to busy surprising my best friend who lives in Newfoundland!!! Its kind of confusing, because I have 2 best friends named Becca haha. I have the one who also has the blog and then the other one who moved away =( Anyways, at about the beginning of December I really decided that I wanted to go surprise her. So, I looked online for tickets and messaged her Mom!! I needed some allies. So, throughout December I slowly figured out all the details, I got my tickets, figured out who was going to pick me up from the airport and everything. So, on Christmas day we skyped and she said how much she missed everyone here and how all she really wanted was to see a familiar face.... I could hardly contain my excitement. I almost spilled the beans once or twice. Finally the 28th had arrived and I had my flight was set for 12:05 am. My mom drove me to the airport and I was finally home free...... figuratively speak...
