new car smell

Hey again!

This week has been super busy. But amazing :]
On Monday i went to BSU to get that stuff all squared away. I got registered and i guess i kind of signed up for classes. I'm on a waiting list for three of the classes which sucks but hopefully those classes work out. I met a new friend too! Her name is Madeline. She basically has the same story as i do. We are both transferring to BSU for boy reasons and she's just as frustrated as i am. We are very similar and i like her already! I'm excited to hang out with her more. Anyway monday was so crazy busy. From 9:30 to 2:20 i was at BSU, from 2:30 to 7 i worked and from 7:10 to midnight i was at a Job's Daughters meeting (which is too much to explain now). So basically i was on my feet all freaking day. it was crazy.

The rest of the week was just work and errands and such. Mark and I looked at quite a few places to live...just nothing yet. We did find one thats kind of an apartment. It's a 2 bedroom 1 bath little place. Very cute. We're still looking...

The weekend was pretty fun. I had to work on saturday but after work Mark and I went to Melba and met up with Matt and Chantal. The fireworks were amazing! That was a really good time. There were so many dang people there i could not believe it! Saw a bunch of people from high school too. It was pretty fun.

Saturday was pretty laid back. Mark and I just hung out. Drove around boise for a while and then came home and napped. We went out to my step dads, uncles house and watched the fireworks that my family sets off. That was really fun too. My family does a big show every year and its always bigger and better each time. It was way fun and i think that Mark had a good time too! Hope everyone had a good 4th of July!!

TODAY!! Was a super great day! Mark came over at 8:30 and my mom, my step dad, mark and myself loaded into my step dads truck and drove to the car dealership to get me a neeeeew car!! I got a 2005 Toyota Camry. It's charcoal gray and i looooove it!!! It has a sunroof and a way cool stereo system! AH! I'm so happy and excited to have this car. Everyone needs to come drive around with me! Yay!

Well i'm super tired. I just wanted to get my weekly blog post in! Until next time...

sunshine

Hello my readers...all 2 of you...i'm back for my weekly post. I guess i don't have a lot to report on. I'm super tired tonight so this post will probably be short. I worked a lot this past week so i didn't have a lot of time for other things. Sam (step sistaa) and I had coffee and read for a little bit on tuesday which was nice. We did a lot of shopping that day too :] Other than that, this week was just blah. The weekend was basically the same. The weather has been so nice so i've been trying to hang out outside. Gus loves being outside so that was nice to just play with him. Mark and I went to look at cars Saturday too and i found a few i like! I really really like the Dodge Calibers and the Nissan Versa! I found both of them for pretty good prices so hopefully i will get to test drive a few this next week!

Tomorrow i have my Boise State University orientation...yay...i guess i'm pretty nervous about it. I'm going by myself too so that makes it a little worse. Ugh. I don't really know what to expect. It'll be good but i'm just a little scared...

I report back next week about how BSU went and the whole car thing too! Sorry this is so short and boring. Wish me luck!

Until next time..

Stormy

Soooo I'm writing this on monday because i was super tired last night and i also figured no one reads this anyway so....yeah! This past week (like i've said a hundred times) was pretty average. I worked monday, tuesday, friday, and saturday so i didn't do a whole lot those days. Wednesday was my brothers 17th birthday. He is living in pocatello with my dad for the summer so me, my mom, my aunt and my grandma drove all the way down to pocatello on wednesday to take my brother out to lunch for his birthday. We actually drove an old Lincoln Towne Car so it was like a old limo. It was hilarious. There are so many problems with that car that it took us an extra hour each way to get there. We decorated the windows to so we looked extra ridiculous! It was a pretty good trip. A very long day.

Friday i worked and then Mark took me to dinner. He went out with his friends and i hung at home. It was pretty boring. I watched the whole first season on the hills. It sounds like a lot but the episodes are only 2o minutes so NO BIG DEAL.

Saturday i worked. I got off and 5 and then mark and i took off to go camping with my parents. We went up to Brownlee Dam. Of course the weather was nice the whole day i was working but then when i get off it starts to storm. We got up to the camp site and got Marks brand new tent and then the wind started to blow. The wind broke pieces off his tent and we had to actually take it down at 12:30 in the morning and cram into my parents camper. It was miserable! On sunday mark and i got up and went fishing. I caught two fish! It was so exciting. After fishing the wind picked up again so we ate breakfast and took off. We got home and kinda vegged out for a while and then me and mark and sam (my step sister) went to Toy Story 3! It was pretty dang cute. I cannot believe that it was $13.5o a person to see it though! Like holy cow!!!! I would say that it would be just as good without the 3D effects. just ridiculous!

Other news... um... Mark and i are looking for apartments right now annnnnd i guess thats it. Anyway....Until next time...

GLEEEEEEE

So another blog entry for the week. This past week has been pretty average. My forehead healed up thank goodness but not i have a big scratch on my upper lip from Gus. Something scared him and he ran over my face. Awesome. Also, i dropped my laptop and nooooow i have a huge crack on the screen. Just great. At least i can still see everything. I'm so mad at myself though. If anyone has an extra $400 they can spare it would be greatly appreciated. I do have the best boyfriend on the planet though, he did give me some extra money to get a new screen. And he took my to the zoo today. We went because thats what i wanted to do for my birthday but the weather was TERRIBLE that day! So today we went and it was so fun. The weather was great and the animals were out and it was super fun. There is a new Wallaby walk through and you walk around and the Wallabys just bounce around in there and you walk right up to them. So cute! The zoo really looks nice. They've done a lot of neat things and it's so much fun.

I've been really into watching Glee. It is literally my new favorite show. I've only watched the first like....12 episodes but IM HOOKED! I wish that my high school had a show choir...or even a good choir. They are so fun to watch and the people on Glee sounds so amazing. I can't wait for the second half of the second season to come out. I NEED TO KEEP WATCHING!

Anyway...i guess i don't really have anything else to report. This past week was pretty bland. My dad did come into town and Mark and I had dinner with him. That was pretty fun. Other than that. I got nothing. Have a good week. Until next time.

WELLL!

This past week has been pretty great. i didn't have to work last monday and that's when Mark and I got home from camping which was really fun. Tuesday and Wednesday i worked so nothing exciting those days but thursday was just laid back than friiiidayyyyyy WAS MY 20TH BIRTHDAY! Yay! Mark and I took Gus to the vet that morning and got his last set of shots finally and OMG he weighs 8 1/2 pounds! He was 3 1/2 pounds when we bought him! Such a big boy! So after that Mark and I just hung out and went to lunch. We finally went to dinner at the Melting Pot in boise....holy cow so good. It's a fondue restaurant so we had like...4 courses! The first course was a cheese fondue which was awesome. Then we had salads (also awesome) then a meat fondue that came with raw chicken, steak and shrimp and you cook it in a boiling chicken broth. It was sooo good. Finally dessert :] we had the "Flaming Turtle!" which was milk chocolate and caramel with pecans and they light it up so its on fire! Dinner was so amazing and I'm so lucky to have a guy that spoils me so much :] So after dinner my good friends Riley and Shayla threw me a little party. Very very fun! Thanks girls!

Saturday was Marks graduation party. I got to his house early to help set up and then we all just hung out until the party started. It was a lot of fun and i'm so proud of mark for getting through college! Today i had my family birthday party at my house. It was so fun! We basically set the party up all day. I had about 8 family members come and then my bestie Chantal and her boyfriend Matt and then Mark came. It was so fun. Luckily it didn't rain so we could sit outside and enjoy the fairly nice weather. For dessert instead of cake i wanted chocolate fondue again haha so we did that. So tasty! I got a lot of neat presents too! I got a mini martini shaker and four martini glasses, some way cool salad tongs, a camping first aid kit, a cute dress and some other clothes, a bunch of money, a scentsy, some bookends and a way cool chair!!! I feel like i did pretty well this birthday :] Thanks to everyone that sent birthday wishes my way! I'm not a teen anymore!!

Ok so last night when i got home from Mark's grad party, i was just putting stuff away in my room. I went to throw something away and i missed the garbage can so i bent down to pick it up. Instead of being cautious about the situation, i threw my forehead into the corner of my tv stand and busted my forehead open. So now i have this gash on my face that is so stinken sore and big and red and bruised. UGH! So stupid!

Anyway. I guess thats all i have to update whoever reads this thing on. I'll be back next sunday to write more about my boring life :] Until next time.

p.s. Lady Gaga's new music video is almost here!!! Here's a sweet sneak peak! OMG

Memorial

ok..so it's not sunday but i have a good excuse. I was camping on sunday so monday is the best i can do! Chantal called me out. Anyway..yes camping. It was really fun even though we couldn't find a spot to camp, Gus was hating every part of it, it rained the whole time and it was freezing. I had a good time though :] We ended up at Cascade at the smallest campground i've ever stayed at! notice my excitement in the picture... But really it was a good time. Gus was cold the whole time which wasn't very nice but the poor little guy was just cold! There was one point in our camping experience where Gus was alllll wound up and he was running all over the place so Mark and I put him in the tent and zipped up the two bottom parts of the tent but not the middle part...so it was still open but there was just a slit to get out of...any way, Gus couldn't figure out how to get out so he would run his head along the bottom of the screen and jump up on the screen. Just running back and forth haha! He finally got out and was so dang excited. So silly. I think he had a good time too, he was just cold.
Mark had a good time too. My camper man cooked dinner and breakfast and basically set up and took everything down. Just a good guy :] it was a fun memorial day weekend!


This past week has been work and basically nothing else. A poor coworker of mine had a major family problem and needed to leave early so i went into work for her (which i was happy to do), and really thats all i've done, is work. Mark and I have been pretty busy the past couple weeks but i finally get a break this week. I only work two days and friday is my birthday!! I'm excited to be done with my teen years and become a big grown up 20 year old! Then saturday is Mark's grad party so that will be fun too! I hope the weather starts to get nice soon.

Can i just say how lucky i feel to have all that i do. I have a great family, a great boyfriend, great friends (love you bestie), great dog..just everything really. I mean, i think that i'm very fortunate to have a well paying job and a good family that lets me stay at home and good things going for me. Mark is one of the best things thats happened to me. He has a good job and he's a college graduate now. I just feel really secure. i hope that other people feel like i do because it's a really nice feeling :]

Just one last little side note. I talked with a good friend of mine, Kylie, last saturday. Just catching up i guess. It was just nice to talk to her. When we were still at school, her dog Piper (a pug & Gus's girlfriend) needed to lose three pounds over summer. So they put her on this new dog food and she swims and walks all the time and so far she has yet to lose any weight...BUT she did gain a pound! HAHAHA! Just a silly little thing that made me laugh. I miss you Kylie and Pipey too!!

ANYWAY! I guess thats all i have to say about my boring life right now. I might update sooner because i don't have to work that much this week! Until next time!

tgisummer

Well...I suppose I'm back...maybe. I think that setting a goal to write a blog post every...Sunday would be a good idea. So that's what I'm going to do. Every Sunday I will write a new blog post updating the people who actually read this pointless blog on how my boring life is going :]

It's summer time so I'm back at home working for the best place on the planet...Cartridge world...(being totally sarcastic). Really the place isn't that bad, I would just like to work somewhere that I will gain experience with what I'm going into (teaching). C-dub will work for now. I can't not have a job because I need the money soooo bad. I'm actually staying here and transferring to BSU instead of going back to ISU for school. Mark graduated (very proud of him) so he is not going back to school in the fall and I'm not doing the long distance thing. Hopefully everything will work out and it will be a nice change. We're looking for a good place to live in Boise so if anyone has some suggestions let me know :] So I'm working...and that's about it. Mark and I got a puppy so I've been taking care of my baby, Gus a lot too. He's the best puppy. I love my little man!So far the weather has been terrible. Not summer weather at all. It's really killing my tan haha! I need it to start warming up so if someone could get that going for me that would be great!

I think that's all I'll write for now. I'll try my best to update my blog every Sunday. Even if nobody reads this, it's kind of a nice way to vent. :]

Until next time
