Better Late Than Never.

I decided that I'm finally going to post something. It'll most likely be the longest thing in the world since I'm home alone and I'm not tired, whatsoever. :) Honestly I'm only doing this to occupy my time because I'm scared. But here it goes. In the past few months things have been pretty good, and also pretty bad. I'll start with my house situation. I hate it. Okay, I don't hate it but we haven't had the best of luck living here. Our landlord is probably the worst person alive. He just sucks. It's terrible to say but I don't even care, he's the worst. One of the rooms in the basement has mold and that's why Erin had to move out, and we got a new girl, Sienna. That turned out just as poorly. She moved out without any notice, I literally worked a double and when I got home my roommates told me she had moved out. Cool. Also, she's pregnant. Even cooler! ....She needs to get her life together. Anyways, enough of that. Now we're dealing with a landlord who doesn't want to help us, and we're on our THIRD roommate for that room. Honestly, I just want to move out. I hate it here, It's not that I hate my roommates, because I don't, but this house is just too old. It's a very frustrating situtation. There is soooo much that's happened I couldn't write about it all if I tried, we'll just say things aren't great and leave it at that.

Also, in September I started my job at Tres Hombres. Erin is a hostess there and she got me the job which was awesome of her. I loooove working there. It's great that I can spend so many hours there and actually enjoy it. It would suck to work that many hours at a job I hated. I'm not saying that it's always good though becasuse sometimes I get angry, but for the most part I love it. I really love everyone I work with. I love the mexicans. For real, they are happy. It's a nice change, they like to sing the songs that come on the radio, they dance around, and they laugh. I like when people laugh, it makes me happy. The only thing I hate is that we have a "uniform" we have to wear. It makes me look like a lesbian and I can't stand it. Like really? I could look way cuter if you guys just let me wear my own clothes. Hahahaha I'm not kidding.

Next on the list is school. Last semester I only went part time because I couldn't afford to go full time which sucked pretty bad. I cried for days when I found out I wouldn't have enough to pay for it. (I realize I'm a cry baby.) It's pathetic but I feel like a low life for going part-time. When people ask if I'm in school I say yes but I really feel like I'm not. Or I felt that way anyways. I don't know why I feel like that's such an embarrassing thing, but I do. I mean i'm doing a lot better than most of the kids I know, I actually moved out on my own, I pay for everything, and I'm attending college at an acutal university. I mean I have a lot to be proud of but at the same time I still don't know what I'm going to major in, and even if I do decide, it'll be something easy because I'm not smart enough to get a technical degree. Whatever, that's what I get for never caring about an education until now. It's not all my fault though, Cedar City schools are just a joke. I mean middle school? What the hell was that? And Canyon View? Biggest joke of a high school, I mean come on. Whatever though, there aren't that many options for Cedar City, I'm just glad I made it out of there before I was married at 18 with two kids by 20. That's what everyone down there is really into it seems like. Anyways, back to the subject of school. Next semester I'm going to take a spanish class that I'm really excited about. I'm hoping that because I took 3 years of spanish in high school and because now I work with mexicans who are constantly speaking spanish around me i'll be able to pick it up faster. hahah, I don't know though, we'll just have to see. :) And then my other two classes are going to be health and diversity, which is supposed to be easy, and then a statistics class. Both of which Kyle are in. It's a bonus because he can help me in them, and because I'll be working so much I feel like it'll be some of the only time I'll get to spend with him during the days. So it'll be nice. :)

Now onto Kyle. Things with us have been going pretty good. We don't fight as much which is always a great thing, we really have started getting down to the root issues that cause problems. It's turning out great and I'm really happy with how things are turning out. I seriously love him so much, I don't know what I'd be doing if I didn't have him. Sounds a little pathetic, but I'm just grateful for him.

Eh, I have so much more to say but I think i'll just head to bed and catch up later if I feel it necessary. Tomorrow I don't work and I think I'll go shopping and clean the house. That's what my life has resorted to. It'll be nice to spend some time alone though. I am never alone, like for real. Looking forward to what tomorrow will bring.

PS I'll post some pictures that I took with my new camera too.

Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What’s it look like? If it’s with him, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again.

Okay, I don't know why I love this song so much right now but I do.

I don't know why I'm so in love with this song, but I am.

 

 

 One in the air for the people that ain’t here
Two in the air for the father that’s there
Three in the air for the kids in the ghetto
Four for the kids who don’t wanna be there
None for the niggas trying to hold them back

 

So no matter what you been through,
No matter what you into,
No matter what you see when you look outside your window,
Brown grass or green grass,

Picket fence or barbed wire,
Never ever put them down,
You just lift your arms higher,
Raise em till’ your arms tired,
Let em’ know you’re there,
That you struggling and survivin’ that you gonna persevere,
Yeah, ain’t no body leavin, no body goin’ home,
even if they turn the lights out the show is goin’ on.

Here is the other one that i'm in love with right now.

I realize that they are completely different styles, but I like them both for different reasons.

This will be my last confession
I love you never felt like any blessing
(Ohhhh)
Whispering like it's a secret
Only to condemn the one who hears it
With a heavy heart

Out of everyone, he chose me.

Lagoon!

Today,
Kyle and I went to Lagoon again. Getting our money's worth. ;) It was so much fun. I like the chance to spend time with him like that because it's rare that we're ever alone lately. Both of our houses are full houses. Not that it's a bad thing, it's just great to be able to be alone together and relax. :)

Best part about the day: We decided that before we went to Lagoon A Beach we'd go and spend a few dollars on the rip of games Lagoon offers. We went to a game where you get three balls for $2 and for a small prize you have to break down two of the plates out of your three chances and for a large prize you have to hit three plates down with your three chances. Of course the large prize was our goal...but unfortunately neither one of us hit it. Hahah that's not the best part. The best part of it was that Kyle was playing the game strictly to get me a stuffed animal so I could keep it forever. Anyways the first time he hit only one plate down, so he HAD to try again. So the second time he tries again and he only knocks one down again. So I was like, let me try. I tried and on my first try I hit two plates down meaning I won the small prize! ;) Kyle said he embarrassed but seriously it was hilarious and nothing he should be embarrassed about. He should be proud that his girlfriend is a teriffic aim. ;) Hahahahahahahha. Here is my prize, I named him Pangy Winn.

After we were sick of pressing our luck with stupid games, we went to a game we knew we could win. The worker has to guess either your age, and be off by two years (plus or minus), your birth month, and be off by two months, or your weight, and be off by three pounds. Of course guessing your weight is by far the best option. It's the easiest way to win! Soooo being the sly little devils we are, we delicately rose to the challenge. After the worker guessed Kyle's weight to be 150, he asked me to pick my prize. ;) I chose this lion and I named him Lionel. Clever, I know. Hahah.

I'll keep them forever.

After Lagoon we drove to my house in his uncles convertible and it was so fun! I was happy about it. :)

We got to my house and he grilled me a fake chicken patty on his new grill.

 I like the way he smiles when I kiss him.

Today was perfect.

Long Time No Talkkk.

Wellll I haven't had internet for a while so that's for the lack of blog posts, and the fact that I feel like I'm constantly busy. Also, I apologize right now for how long this post will be. I've got a lot to say though. ;) To catch everyone up, Brianne and I moved out of our old place by the capitol. :) I'm a little glad considering all the bugs that we were beginning to see ever since it started getting warmer outside. It was getting to be ridiculous, and lonely there with just Brianne and I.

Now we're living in a house right by the U. It's AWESOME! We don't need parking passes for the school year and we have the best roommates ever! There is Erin, Adri, Brianne, Braidee, and I. Braidee hasn't officially moved in yet but she'll start paying rent in July. This is probably the most fun I've had since coming to Salt Lake for college. It's comparable to the dorms. I just love it. We're meeting all these new people, we go out, and we all just have fun. :) I absolutely love it.

So we'll start with Holly's birthday. This seems like it was sooo long ago. I miss my Holly Dolly. Marshal and Holly made a long trip up to SLC Saturday morning (June 4th) and we all got ready and went to Raging Waters/Seven Peaks. I can never decide what it's called. We all had the best time ever. Seriously. Going down those slides was such an adrenaline rush! Hahaha even Marshal was scared! We all laughed so hard after going down the slides. We went down this one slide that you have to carry your own toboggan looking sled thing which was ridiculously heavy, I could barely lift it! But all these little kids passed us like it was no thang. I guess they were a lot more determined than us but it was pretty embarrassing  when you have to stop half way up the trail for a breather and twelve 5 year olds pass you carrying their own "toboggan" sled with ease. Besides the parents, I think we were the oldest people there too. Hahahah but whatever because we had a blast! Seriously one of the funniest things I had done in a long time.
After that we went to Shanghai for Holly's birthday dinner choice. It was delicious as always. :) That night we just sat around and talked after an unsuccessful trip to the park. The next morning Holly and Marshal left which sucked. I hate to see them leave because it will be at least a little while until I see them again. :(

After they left Brianne and I headed down to the Pride Parade. It was hilarious. Some of the costumes were ridiculous but it was entertaining to say the least. After that we went out with the fam. My mom, Tasha, Brianne, Ben, Luke, and Joe. We went out to noodles where we say Brianne's friend Lauryn from the polo team and we decided that Lauryn, Adri, Erin, Brianne, and I would all go shopping for things for the house. :) We went to this thrift store and we got so many awesome decoration things. I love thrift stores!

Also, Jamie and Brock came to seee us! We went out to the Sea Salt for lunch. We didn't realize how classy this place was but we definitely weren't looking classy enough haha. It was great seeing them though. We showed them our new house and Brock laughed hysterically the whole way through the house at all the things that were wrong with it. It made the rest of us laugh too. :) It is pretty funny to see how terrible the house looked before us. After lunch they had to leave though which sucked because it was such a short visit but none the less it was great to see them.

A few days later (not sure when) Brianne, Tasha, and I went to the Brett Dennon concert. I had never heard of him before but Tasha loves him so we went because the tickets were cheap. It was a small concert but it was a good show. Brett Dennon told a story about a girl that he was in love with from high school. They had gone to prom together hahah. Anyways, the girl moved to Salt Lake and met a boy from BYU and now has like 5 kids. I thought it was cute that he told that. His songs have really good lyrics but I thought he was creepy as all get out. He was like pelvic thrusting the air, and shaking his butt...eh it was way creepy. Glad I went though. His opening band was actually pretty good too. I can't exactly remember their name though,. I'll get back to you on that.

I also went to my first Salt Lake City farmers market with my Mother, Tasha, Ben, and the boys. It was alright. My mom and I got into a fight about me finding a $20 bill. My mother's side of the story is that she dropped the crinkled up bill from her wallet of perfectly folded bills as she was paying for our snow cones. My story is that she was mad that I saw it first and decided to claim it as her own. But whatever story you choose to believe. I was the biggest person and told her she could have it as long as she knew that it wasn't really hers and she was lying and the fact that I'm a starving poor college student. Moral of the story, I got the cash. Yes it was a big deal to me. :) Hahah she's going to kill me for this.

Anways, my whole family minus Nicole and Tommy and plus Kyle went to Lagoon. It was my first time for the season and I was sooo excited! I love Lagoon. I think it's just the greatest. We split up for a while so Tasha and Ben could take the boys on the little kid rides while my Mom, Brianne, Kyle and I all rode the BIG KID rides. ;) Hahah it was so much fun, minus the heat. My mom got us season passes while Kyle's family got him a season pass so needless to say we'll be going a lotttt. :) Kyle and I went to Lagoon-a-beach not to long ago either and that was nice. We layed in the lazy river and went down some slides. Surpringly the lamest looking slide turned out to be the best one. :) We went down it like three times. Maybe two, I can't remember hahah. But it turned out to be really really fun. :)

The next big event was Kyle's 19th Birthday. Wooooooo! Hahha finally we're the same age. ;) He invited me up to his cabin with his whole family. We rode 4-wheelers, went on a hike, played with all of his little cousins, played ticket to ride, and I shot my first ever gun. I'm so glad he let me go with him, it was a great time. I always feel bad going with his family though because I am SO not used to that much energy. I was exhausted by the end of the night and I feel like they think i'm hating life but that's definitely not the case. I'm just lazy on the daily and they are anything but that. :) It was really cute, his grandma and his aunt Tracy made him a pinata because he wanted one. They used an Einstein Bagel's box and his cousins drew him happy birthday pictures which they glued to the side of the box. It was so adorable. Kyle kept the box to hang in his room. It was very sweet of them. :) After we got back we came to my house to celebrate his brithday with everyone else in our house. We had sooo much fun. I felt bad because Kyle had to work so early the next morning and he stayed up so late but I really hope he had the best birthday ever.

Okay I really promise I'm almost done!
The other night we went to Gay Night at the club. Things got a little out of control. We danced in the cages, and on stage, and just everywhere. Hahhaha I had seriously the best time in the whole world. Oh my gosh it was so fun. Here are all the people that went: Adri, Jamey, Amanda (Adri's cousin), Brianne, Lauryn, Christian, and Graham. I don't know how they all felt about it, but I loved it and will definitely be going again. :)

And lastttt but not least yesterday Kyle and Daniel came over! Daniel wasn't that impressed with our marvelous house but I guess you can't please them all. Haha jk I mean he liked it but just not as much as I was hoping. Kyle left with Daniel for a while and came back to my house once Daniel had to leave. Kyle decided that he wanted to break in the grill I got him for his birthday and when he got back we went to the store for a propane tank and a bunch of grilling food. Later that might Steve, Erin, Christian, Brianne, Kyle and I all had the barbeque that Kyle made us. Which was delicious by the way. Mmm. :) After that we rode the trax down to the Arts Festival which ended up being $10 to get in! It was expensive but they had really cool things there so it ended up being worth it. :) And then we came back to the house and Adri and Jamey came over and they brought their dogs Frankie and Tolbert. They're really the cutest dogs. :) All and all the summer is turning out to be my best one yet. :) Can't wait for what else is in store!

May 26, 2011

Happy two and a half year anniversary to Kyle and I! Although we've technically been together since October 4, 2008 I'll just go by the time that he first officially asked me to be his girlfriend. :)

What I've realized from our relationship:
You have to go through hard times to get to a place that you can actually appreciate. Hard times aren't meant to break you, just test you and see if you're right for each other. I'm happy with where we're at now. It's taken a while, but i'd say looking back it's been worth it. So, here's to making more memories and improving our relationship so it's the best it can be. :) Looking forward to what's in store.

Our Little Graduate.

May 26, 2011
Lukey Bear graduated from preschool! I thought it would be a bigger event than it turned out to be. My family and Kyle all went to watch and we made up more than half of the audience. The kids were so cute, they performed songs that they've been practicing. Lukey bear looked so little compared to most of the kids. He is soooo adorable. I got some great pictures of him in action...you'll see. :)
Congrats Lukey Bizzle! We all love you!

All the kids that graduated with him. Lukey's on the far right. :)

Mr. Itchy nose.

Look how little he is! Sooo cute! :)

Our little graduate.

Head Chef.

Monday was the funnest day ever. Kyle came over around 1:30 in the afternoon and we soon decided that we were going to make a magnificent cake. Which we did. We bought two chocolate cake boxes which made a three layer cake and about 16 cupcakes. Although it sounds all fun and games, that cake was harder to decorate than it looks so please don't judge. It looks awesome for a bunch of amateurs. ;) Kyle made our awesome chef hats and the cake making began. :)

Tuesday morning I wake up to a forwarded text from Brianne from Adri. We got the house that's right by the U!! I can literally walk to class. I wont be wasting gas to drive to school anymore and I wont have to waste my money on a ridiculous parking pass anymore! I'm sooooo excited! Saturday we make things official but until then there is one more house I'm determined to look at. Just making sure our choices are right. :)

Also at 4:00 pm I had my first ever job interview at Victorias Secret. It went ......ehhhh I'll skip all those details and just let everyone know if I get the job or not. Hahaha. I must day I did look pretty shnazzy though. Hopefully it all paid off. I find out in about a week if I am wanted for a second interview which then leads to getting hired. (Didn't think it was supposed to be this hard to become an employee at Victorias Secret!!) But oh well.

Tonight was the season finale of glee and all I can say is.. RACHEL AND FINNNNN! Ahhh I love them! Hahah I don't care if I sound crazed and obsessed. I can't wait to buy this season on dvd. :)

Last but not least, Thursday the 26th it's our two and a half year anniversary! Usually I wouldn't get all weird about a halfer but so far we haven't done anything spectacular to celebrate so I decided this time we are. :) Hope all goes well.

Picture This.

Now I know I never made a blog post about my visit to Cedar but I have good reason. I'm lazy. Hahahha just kidding it's really because Brianne already used some of my pictures for her blog and everything. I will say this though. Visiting Cedar is so much fun that it sucks. I mean that in the best way possible. I miss everyone in Cedar. I miss having friends that just enjoy sitting around talking. Holly, Brianne, and I are known for that. I don't have a single complaint about the things we do together. It's so great and relaxing to have a friend like Holly. We can just be ourselves and have a blast doing it. We gossip, watch movies, exercise (kinda), and laugh for the majority of the time we're together. I honestly wish Holly wouldn't have moved home the second semester of college. I miss her all the time. Five years of being best friends and you'd think that a little separation would be in order but that's definitely not the case.

Nicole and Tommy are the other great people we got to visit. We went for rides, got cokes, stayed up eating junk, and made one awesome campfire. ;) I miss Cookie soooo much. She's the best. We don't stay updated every single day with each others lives but I know that if I ever needed anything she'd be there for me and it's the most comforting feeling in the world. She's definitely the realistic and logical one in the family which is great for everyone but not so great for her. She gets to listen to 8 different versions of fights and then has to mediate them...all from four hours away.

Jamie and Brock. We have sooo much fun. It's the best time ever going to their house. I can't help but be a little bit jealous everytime we walk in the door. Their decorations are out of this world adorable. Not only do they have such a cute house, but they have even cuter faces. ;) Jamie is honestly hilarious. Even though I hate to admit it, and if you asked if I said it i'll deny it, the girl is funnier than me. She could quit her day job at IHOP and tell jokes on the corner and make bank. Hahahahah. Last but certainly not least, Brock. He is the best. Sooo flipping fun hearing all the things he has to say. The stories are the most entertaining ones i've ever heard. I love how obsessed he is with Lady Gaga, but I'm obsessed with his dance moves he sports when she's on. Needless to say it's a blast hanging out with these two.

But enough about Cedar.

Okay, I'm freaking out for Tuesday. I have an interview at Victorias Secret. I'm obsessed with the place. I don't want to tell everyone about it just in case I don't get hired. That will be embarrassingggg. But needless to say I'm prettty scared/excited to see the outcome. We'll just see. It would be awesome though if I did get hired. ;) I'll be one of them!!

No just kidding, I'm not that delusional. I'll just get to stare at them...all. day. long. (If I get hired!) Fingers crossed! :)

Since I'm already on my regular summer sleeping schedule which consists of going to bed at 5:00 am and waking up around 1:00 pm I decided to just post some pictures that I like from the internet. :) Just so my loyal followers can realize just how crazy I really am!

The last thing I will post about is Kyle since he's usually the last thing on my mind before I go to bed. Kyle is working a gunshow this weekend. It sucks that he's leaving. But oh well, that's life. ;) I know it's ridiculous but I'm terrified every time he works one of the shows that he has to fly to. California may be an awesome place to work but when you stress as much as I do it's not comforting to know that your boyfriend is on an airplane that could crash at any moment. Okay, I shouldn't say that, I don't want it to happen.
As far as jobs go, Kyle got hired at the airport! Thanks to my brother-in-law Ben for putting in a good word, Kyle will get an awesome opportunitiy. He'll be filling oxygen tanks, directing the airplanes, and getting the schedules to the pilots. (I think) Hahah. I might be wrong but either way that's great for him. I'm very proud of Kyle and his achievements. :) He makes me just about the luckiest person alive. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Just for you.
Just because I love you.
