2 more inches...

Well this morning I woke up and yes there were 2 more inches of snow on the ground! It doesn't sound like much but added onto about 3 that was already there its around 5 inches of snow on the ground! I love it! Last night after work Dad and Mom and I thought that his secretaries and charly should pay for our dinner! Haha! So we took the giftcard(that they gave us) and treated ourselves to a wonderful steak dinner at Outback Steakhouse! It was pretty good! Have you guys ever tried the Sweet Potatoes there? There are the sweetest most delicious side you could have! I love them! I definitely suggest for all of you to go try them this weekend if you haven't already! And then after that of course for our normal activity, my parents and I went home and sat down to a wonderful game of poker! It was great! Actually my mom won last night! She was just banking it in! I was so proud that I taught her everything she knows! (haha maybe i just like to take credit but it really wasn't me lol) Anyway tonight my wonderful Brother and Sister-In-Law are coming into town! I'm so excited to see her belly because I saw a picture and it might look big there but you know pictures aren't always the best way to tell! I am just so excited to have a second little niece in my life! I can't wait! And also, this weekend we are going to find out what they are naming their little girl! So excited! Just hope that they won't pick one of my names as my sister did! Which would just be CRAZY! But its ok....cuz I love my little Jaylen! She is my sweet angel! And soon I will have two Sweet Angels! Here Is a picture of my sweet angel now! She just looks like Santa's cute 'pimpin' sweet angelic helper! haha! I love it!
Well there she is! Isn't she just cute?? I love her so much! Pretty soon I will be posting about my brother's little girl! She is coming so very soon! Katie is due in March! So that is exciting!
Well, i think that is pretty much it for now! Got one last day of work before I get to have some family time then go back to school! I am really starting to miss school because I miss all my friends....not necessarily the drama side but I miss my friends! I miss my Sam! I haven't seen her since last time was like right before Thanksgiving break! So the middle of November! that's forever ago! AHHH! I miss her! Well I will be able to see her in.......9 days! that's when I am going back to school and since I live with her I'm sure I will be able to see her! Sometime! lol!
I'm out gonna actually work maybe! haha!Love you all! Leave me some!

Work

Well Today was just another day! But I did get to hang out with my bestest friend Chris! Him, and Jaime and my dad and I all went to lunch and then had some business talk about insurance! It was pretty interesting! I'm learning alot about State Farm and I'm really starting to like it! I am pretty sure that one day I am going to follow in my father's footsteps and work for State Farm! Being an AFE will be my goal but if I only make it to the agency then I won't be too upset!lol! I mean my dad is pretty well off and I think I could live on that one! I like the idea! So now I am a business major with an accounting minor! Hopefully that will help me a lot for my future! And my goal is to go to Vienna in the summer of 2009! That makes me happy too! That's really all my news for today! We are going to Outback tonight so I am pretty excited about that and yes I still owe my brother-in-law 2 steak dinners! Ahhhh! Hopefully when I get back to OC I can take him and Mel and Jaylen out one night and that will be counted as two since it's two people and Jaylen doesn't usually order much! haha! Well, I'm out! Here's a picture of Chris and I and one of Alisha! We went to Old Chicago last night together! It was fun! And another picture of the family at Jared's house on Christmas Day! And one of Coco my cousin! YEAH! Love you all!

Feels Like Monday Morning

Well, I feel like it's Monday Morning! It has definitely been a long weekend/Monday and Tuesday! Friday Night, my parents and I went and saw one of the best movies of all time! National Treasure: Book Of Secrets! It was spectacular! That movie and the first National Treasure I will definitely one day buy! They are great movies! And I also found out that they are coming out with an Indiana Jones 4! Isn't that exciting? I love Indiana Jones and here is just one more to add to the collection! I'm pretty excited about that one! And Harrison Ford is in this one too of course so we know it will at least a little bit of a good movie just by the actor! I hope they take in to account that he is pretty old now! lol! Great Actor but that doesn't mean he isn't going to grow old! Lol!

Saturday was a pretty lame day! It's ok though because I enjoyed it! I just slept in and relaxed the whole day! That's about it! I finished my grandma's christmas present and just relaxed! Then on Sunday the snow and ice was so bad that church was cancelled in the morning and the evening! Crazy huh? So we slept in had some breakfast and we went to Cracker Barrel for dinner because I had to see a few people before I left and they left!Then after that I went to the movie with Janet and Caleb! I love those two! We saw P.S. I Love You! It's a really sad movie but every now and then you need a little sadness! And I thought it was a good movie! I was in the mood for a sad one so it just fit right in! then Monday was pretty fun! We(the parents and I) all hung out at our house and played poker and had some of that Sparkling Grape Juice! It was great! Yes of course I won! lol! Have to make some of my friends proud of me! I taught them a lot of new games! It was great! I also got to open ONE present this night! I got a digital camera! and a cool case that matches my club at OC with a memory card! It was really nice!

Then Yesterday of course was Christmas Day! unfortunately I did not get to continue my openinng of presents because I have to wait until Friday or Saturday because Michael, Katie, Melody, Gavan, and Jaylen won't be here until then! So I get to sit here and look at wonderful presents for 3 more days! It's going to go sooooo slow! haha! So Yesterday My parents and I went over to Jared and Dez's (cousins) and my Aunt and Uncle were there with my cousin Coco! So we spent the day playing poker and having a fabulous Christmas Lunch! It was pretty exciting! I loved it!

So In my sorrows of waiting to open presents there is one thing that I definitely can entertain myself with! and that is my brand new Ipod! It's so cute! I love it! But It's Tiny! I just took pictures of it with my new digital camera but unfortunately I can't plug my memory card into this computer to get them! That's not very good! But It's ok! So you will just have to wait and see it when you see me! It's so cute! I love it!

Well, I think that is about it,
National Treasure:Book Of Secrets - IS THE BEST!
P.S. I Love You - Really Sad But it opened my eyes!
NEW DIGITAL CAMERA - So Cute! With a Cool Brown Case!
And The Ipod Arrived - It's so tiny!

Like my little summary? Lol thought it was funny! Oh one more thing....I decided that I am going on the Vienna Trip through OC as soon as possible! There might be some reasons that I can't go this fall like that the application process is already complete and I was not apart of it! But I am still trying for maybe the Spring of 2009!

Love you all! Leave me some comments! I like reading them! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

It's Friday!!!

Sorry I didn't post anything last night and I said I would....I got a little distracted! I was putting all the songs that I want on my new ipod onto CDs because that Ipod is only going to be on my OC computer and not the same one as my first ipod! Yesterday, was alright...nothing too interesting except the fact that I saw I Am Legend last night with Will Smith. It was alright...I have some mixed feelings about it. I think that there could have been more action in it but I guess it was pretty good. Will Smith always does really good at acting but whether or not it was a good movie has nothing to do with him. His daughter is in this one so that was pretty neat! I saw the movie with Janet and Caleb! I love those two soooo much!

Oh and yesterday I went shopping with Mom of course after work for about an hour and we bought two really cute pairs of shoes! I got these cute black high heels with tiny bows on them! They are really cute! And then I got some boots! Like those leather boots that go up to right below your knee. They look so cute! They are half leather and half suede with little buttons on one side! I love them! They were really cheap too because we got them at Payless! Yeah!!!

One more thing....anyone related to me that is wondering what I want for Christmas...here's 2 options! One I want the first season of Psych! It's a hilarious tv show! There is only one season so you can't get the wrong one! But just look for it! the title is green with two guy on the front! There might not be very many of them but its there I promise! That's one thing I want! Also, I want the movie "Because I Said So" It's super good! Although, just for reference you might want to ask my parents if they have bought it for me because I have been asking them for it for Christmas for the past 2 weeks. Those are the two things that I want for Christmas mainly!
The First Season of Psych
Because I Said So

Just FYI! Well, I think that is all for right now I better get back to work! But I am expecting my ipod on Wednesday or so and then Jaylen, Melody, Gavan, Michael, and Katie are coming one week from today so that is pretty exciting!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!

Only 5 Days Until Christmas!

Well, I definitely think that my parents have become grandparents because Christmas is a much bigger persuasion time now! In my last post I told everyone that I was going to be persuading my parents to purchase half of an ipod for me while I purchased the other half! I definitely should consider a major in sales because they said YES!!!! I ordered my brand new red ipod nano this morning online! I am so excited! It even has my name engraved on it. I can't wait to get it! It should be delievered within 5 business days so hopefully this coming Monday or the Wednesday after Christmas. I am already deciding what music I want to put on it! It's Pretty exciting!

Just Wanted To Let You all Know that I am getting a cool Ipod for Christmas! Love you all! I'll Post More Later!

Olive Garden is SO DELICIOUS!!!



Today, I came to work so tired. It was crazy! But on the other hand I did look extremely cute! I had my brand new cute heels on and my new scarf with black pants and a white top! It was gorgeous. At lunch today, my best friend in the whole world, came and we went together! Chris! He came and picked me up and we went to Olive Garden for lunch! While I was there I saw a prett old friend! She was a waitress there! Oddly, when I really knew her she was a grill cook for the Cracker Barrel and you would never picture her being a waitress. But I guess it was her calling! So that's where she is now and her baby is super cute! i saw pictures! That lunch was so much fun because I got to talk to Chris and we just had a really fun time! I loved it......




Now, I am back at work and the day is almost over! Just one more hour and I can go home! Last night, my mom came in and showed me a surprise that she had for me. She had a dillon's employee shirt. for those of you who don't know...that's our grocery store. She is a older woman and has not had a job in 26 years. Just picture this moment. She walks in and shows me her new shirts and her nametag. I remember when I would see those on my friends in high school! The good thing is that she is just delivering flowers (and drugs...she likes to point that out) and not being like a cashier or anything. This morning she woke up and left for work when I did and she was just so proud of her little work uniform. It made me laugh but I am really happy that she has something to distract her now. Something for her to do during the day. I like it that she is happier! At least she seems happier! It's good for her! The bad part is that I am making more money than her....haha!....but at least she enjoys what she is doing and thats what really matters!




So, my ipod has been acting up a lot lately. It kind of saddens me that I am going to have to say goodbye for this wonderful thing! It has really been there for me in all my pool table times when I needed to beat the guys and they think it is my secret weapon! haha! but I decided that I am going to propose it to my parents for them to go in half-and-half with me so I can have a nice ipod for only 100 dollars. That isn't too bad especially since I am making good money with my dad here at the office. But I am thinking about buying this ipod!
Isn't she a beauty? I just love it! It's as close to pink as I can get! And
I think I wll love it! I want my parents to pay 100 and I will pay 100 as well. It will be a good ipod! I really think I will like it! I have to talk to my mom tonight about it. I already wrote up a proposal to present this idea to my parents and my dad read his and didn't really say anything so I am just really waiting to hear what my mom says.
Well, that is just about it! Church tonight and then after that probably hanging out with my bestest friend ever, Chris!!! YEAH! I'm excited!
Love you all! Have a good evening!

Picture Time!!!







Well, I haven't quite figured out how to work this whole blog thing yet. I want to be able to make my profile picture bigger! Haven't gotten that down! So I thought I would post some cool pictures from this past semester at OC!



At the beginning of the year, I was debating on what club to be in! I could go with my sister and be a Theta girl! Or I could go with my sister-in-law and be a Gamma girl! Or I could be myself and be an Iota girl! To the left you can see 4 girls just having the time of their life! This was the first Iota rush even that I attended! It was a tea party! I loved it! It was so much fun I decided that I had to join the club and become an Iotan! So that has taken up a lot of my semester! The girl on the far left is Sam, she is my roomate! I love her! And actually that was the first night I met her and we just clicked! The great thing was that Carissa (the girl on the far right) and Lindsey(The one in blue) oddly had an open suite so Sam and I moved in together! It was great! She is an awesome roomate!






This picture on the right is my roomate Sam! The night before this picture was taken, Carissa and I had taken Sam to the hospital because her ACL surgery incision had split! So we are in the Plastic Surgeon's office in this picture! Huh?? I love it! Anyway, so everyone this is SAM! I miss her! I haven't seen her for like 2 months....it's sad!













On our left here, is 3 of the most amazing women ever! I love them! Carly (Far left) has unfortunately moved back to Colorado! Her and her boyfriend Kelly wanted to go back to Colorado State. They missed the mountains! We are all going up there to see them over Spring Break. Ashley(on my right) she is just awesome! She is from Kansas with me! She lives in the apartments and Carissa (far right) recently moved out of the University House and into Ashley's apartment! They are going to have a lot of fun together! This picture was taken the night when the faculty were SUPPOSED to serve us a midnight breakfast but instead we just had Cinnamon Rolls in the student center! They were still delicious!



This last picture on the left is those same four girls! ICE STORM STRAIGHT AHEAD!!! We wanted to take cool ice pictures (thanks to Ashley) The trees were insanely covered in ice. Let's just say you will never see that tree again because the morning after we took all our pictures, they cut them down. It was sad but it had to be done!
Well I think that is all my pictures so far! I will post more later! Now, I am off to wrap presents for all my family! Love you all! Happy Holidays and Happy Christmas!

FINAL GRADES ARE IN!!!!!

Hey everyone! Well, I decided that i would start a blog that would be all about my life! I look at Mel and Gavan's blog and Michael and Katie's blog and I just got jealous because I wanted a blog! Haha! I thought it would be fun to let you all know how complicated my life is! Right now, I am working at my dad's office and becoming his little secretary answering the phone, filing, typing up things for him, etc. It's pretty easy and I get paid pretty good too! I have those "daughter benefits." I like it. Especially the fact that it only happens when I come home from college so I wouldn't have to worry about finding one for just three weeks. So now, it's Christmas break from OC and I really do miss it. I miss my friends because I am so used to seeing them everyday and my roomate! I miss her dreadfully! I have been without a roomate for about 2 months now. She has been in the hospital for 22 days in Amarillo, TX and is now in New Mexico at her home just recovering from all her surgeries. See, she tore her ACL in September and had surgery for that and that was done in Amarillo, TX and right before she returned to school, the Dr. had taken out her stitches so she could heal nicely. WRONG!!! Her incision ended up splitting and getting infected! She had to get two more surgeries to fix all that happened with her knee. So, now she is at home just getting over all of this. I can't wait to go back to school so I can see her! Hopefully she will be back for the beginning of next semester.

On my desk I have this little Santa Clause that says how many days are left until Christmas. I love it. Because when I came back to work I had to be in the office that was abandoned and my desk just looked so plain. My mom was sad for me so she brought it for me and it is super cute! My grandma even made me a little name plate that has my name engraved on it so when I worked for my dad I would have a name plate! It was fun! I felt professional. Now, that I am 20 years old I still feel professional just because of that age. I feel like I can't do anything that I would as a teenager! I guess that is what my family wants me to think. So there you go guys!

Final grades were due today so hopefully they will be posted soon! Just Kidding I just looked at my grades and they are IN! And I passed the semester! I am so excited about that! My first semester was pretty tough and they aren't too pretty but I am super excited that I passed! Here are my grades
Intro to Info Technology (Computer Class) - B
Freshman Seminar - B
Comm II (Public Speaking) - B
Bible (Matthew) - C
APE (Economics) - C
Calculus I - C

They aren't that great but I am proud because I got a C in Calculus instead of a D especially when I missed about a month's worth of class in that class. It was pretty bad!

So, I will add some pictures to my blog a little bit later because here at the good 'ol office I can't get into my facebook to retrieve them! But I will add them later! Hope you all enjoyed my first blog and will keep up with my life at college! I will definitely update you about all the drama as well!
