It's a lonely world for a lonely girl

I have decided that I need to start really making friends up by where I am now if I ever want to "go out with the girls" again. A lot of my friends live back in my home town or in that general vicinity, so now that I have moved away (well, 40 mins, but still) I very rarely see anyone that I used to hang out with and still consider my friends. As with all friendships, we are all involved in different things, be it work, school, relationships, or multiple (usually multiple) of the above.

Now, with me also being involved in planning my later 2011 wedding, it seems like I have become even more distanced from those friends. The only time I see any of my home town friends is if I drive all the way back to my mom's house (aka the house I grew up in) and text everyone to make plans before I do so.

The problem is, I'm finally tired of it. I'm completely tired of anytime my friends want to make plans with me, I'm expected to drive, 80 minutes round trip, down to Elk Grove to hang out. And sometimes, I'm also expected to be the transportation to what ever fun plans are being discussed. I have to use my gas to do all of this, and gas money is occasionally offered, but it is not anything close to what I'll be spending between gas and the wear and tear on my vehicle.

The problem is trying to get people to meet me anywhere in between. If and when I can talk meeting somewhere other than Elk Grove, it's somewhere completely out of my way, or close to the same travel time as driving to EG. I do have some friends that will meet me close to where I am when we both have the free time in their schedules. To those friends I am thankful. This is to all of those friends who make it seem like they are going out of their way to meet me somewhere, yet they expect me to drive the whole way to their homes; those people who say they'll give me gas money because they need me to drive all the way to them despite what origional plans were, then don't want to actually give me gas to pay for all the driving that they have planned for me to do.

I AM TIRED OF IT!

So, after all of that ranting, I have decided that I really need to start making friends (other than Matt's friends) that live in the area so that I don't have to worry about all of the bs that I'm tired of.

It is a lonely world for a lonely girl

It's Official...

It's down to the year mark!
12 months to go til the wedding!!

I'm super excited, but also a but nervous.

There is a lot we need to do,

a lot of money still to be spent...

and I'm STILL looking for a full time job.

Things have been a little stressful to say the least.

And it really hasn't been helping our relationship at all.

Hopefully we both make it through this unscathed. lol

But now we get down to the details...

and maybe do some craft work tomorrow. lol

We'll see..

Anyway it goes,

Here goes nothing!

I have found love. lol

I have discovered love today.

After a very frustrating fight with both photoshop and the internet last night,

I finally got photoshop to work properly and have edited a few photos...

I'm still prefecting the art, but I'm super excited about what I edited so far.

Most of the pictures are taken by my friends,

a few were taken by me,

but all were edited by me.

 So, since I'm so excited about them,

here they are, for your viewing pleasure :)

And criticism is greatly appreciated.

(The origional is from my friend (and Zoe's mom) Sabrina)

(Also from Sabrina)

(Taken by my sister, Sarah)

(From my friend Becka)

(also from Sabrina)

(Also from Becka)

(Lastly, from Sabrina. lol)



It's Fall Time

It's that time of the year,

The time of the year that the weather starts to cool down

(not that it was a hot summer by any means),

the time that the colors start to change,

we start getting ready for Halloween and all of the festivities...

and most of all, were getting down to the 12 month count down to the wedding day.

I stopped doing a lot of wedding plans for a while,

and I need to get back to working on some of the decorations.

It may be a year away, but we have a lot of work to do to make everything turn out the way I pictue.

I wish that David Tutera would come to Sacramento around that time.

It would be amazing to have someone step in and help us make the vision come to life.

It's going to be extremely difficult to do on our "budget".

We don't really have a budget yet,

but trying to make it as inexpensive as we can is really difficult.

Especially trying to do it on my own... even with help from family members.

I kind of wish we had the money for a wedding planner,

not so they could do it all on their own,

but so I could have someone that really knows the wedding business to help make everything come together.

I would have never guessed that wedding planning would be so stressful. lol.

Anyway it goes, I'm glad that it's slowly comming together,

and, that, in a year,

I will be marrying my best friend,

my soul mate,

the most amazing guy I could ever imagine falling in love with.

Theres a wildman in the house

I've been watching my future nephew Kyle the last few days.

He is freaking adorable..

but the last few days he has also been a wildman and I have had a lack of energy.

I get a 6 hour experience of what it's like to be a mommy. lol

I guess I'll have an idea of what to expect.

Its so cute... right now were playing peek-a-boo around my laptop on my lap. lol

This was Kyle giggling at seeing himself on my webcam/computer camera.

Even on the crazy boy days, this 15 month old can bring a huge smile to my face.

I love him very much and appreciate all the experience he gives me for the future. lol

But I need to go so he doesn't break something.

Till later, Kelly

A few things

There are a few things in life that I know for sure:

For some reason (most likely my nap this afternoon), I am wide awake at 1:40 in the morning.

Some day I will be a professional photographer.

I am so excited for the next 14 months... If I could speed it up, I probably would.

I have the most amazing family (related, non-related, and soon to be related) I could ask for.

I love Matt more than I could possibly ever explain.

Now, it's back to more movies on HULU. lol

Life, Love, and a World Between Sleep and Awake

This week has been a pretty early start week.

I've had work in the morning,

Country in the Park in the morning,

Watching Kyle this morning,

and I have work early, early tomorrow morning.

It's really going to make me appreciate Saturday when I finally get to sleep in. lol

It has been a good day so far though.

Even though I'm not fully awake yet

(I've been awake since 7:45am)

I loved watching Kyle.

It is so amazing to just sit back and watch him explore and figure things out.

He gets so interested and the look of concentration on his face is adorable.

Then when he realizes your watching him he gets the biggest grin on his face and giggles.

It cracks me up and warms my heart.

I love bringing my camera out and getting to take pictures of him exploring and playing.

He'll be the real start to my portfolio. lol

I'm going to go back to watching tv and checking on laundry.

Maybe if I kick back long enough I'll be able to decide whether I want to eat something,

 or if I want to join my amazing finace in bed for a nap :)

It's How I Got to be This Way

I have a blog that I enjoy reading from a girl I went to high school with.

From time to time I check in, read a few blogs and sometimes I get inspired to make a new post to mine.

It helps get me along when I have a bit of writers block.

I found one today that did just that.

She had been tagged in a post where she was supposed to go through her pictures and post the 10th one and the story to go along with it.

I came across this fun post while reading her blog and seeing a link to the story of how her hubby proposed.

Low and behold, the story was this tag post.

So it got me to thinking about pictures and the stories that they hold.

The only problem with ttrying the same thing is that my pictures are all seperated out in different folders based on date and/or event (at times both).

I don't have any pictures just floating around the my pictures folder on my laptop...

So, I decided to take something similar to that and amend it.

Rather than post one picture and tell the story behind it,

it's going to become a thing I'm going to try to do regularly.

Post one of my pictures, that I'll pic randomly, and tell the story behind it.

It will probably let people know a bit more about me:

who I am, where I've been, and why I'm going into the career I am

(after all, photography is my thing).

So here goes nothing:

This is one of my newest pictures...

I took the actual picture (this is a cell phone picture of a picture I took)

while Matt and I were in Monterey.

It was after he proposed to me, and we had been engaged a day or two.

I was standing inside one of the buildings on the wharf waiting for Matt and I decided to try to get a picture of my ring with my oh-so-fancy-very-non-digital camera.

I was so excited to get the film back when we got home (we took 5 rolls when we were there)

But I think this was seriously one of my favorites...

And it still is one of my favorite pictures I have taken today.

Mostly because it's of my engagement ring that I love so much, but also because made me realize that I really can accomplish my dreams. And that I shouldn't give up.

But, now it's time to get back to my application since it is working again.

Less than an hour left till my birthday and Matt has to get up for work.

Joy.

Let the good times roll

looking back..

I decided that it might be fun to go back to the beginning of my blog posts to see what was on my mind a little over a year ago.

Reading about being ok with being single after Jason,

being excited about having met Matt,

and the joys (and fear) of falling in love again was fun.

I didn't keep up with it as much as I have been this year

(and still not as much as I would like, but that happens sometimes).

I'm going to try to post more often in between my search for a new or second job.

So, I think I'm going to go and try to get my sleepy fiance out of bed to go for the walk we didn't get to go on yesterday.

Until later,

Kelly

"We Rode in Trucks"

It's funny how much hearing a song can bring up thought about people, a special place, a certain time in our lives, or sometimes trips that we would take.

There are so many songs that when I hear them, I either think about Matt or our relationship.

They're usually really sweet love songs, like "History in the Making" by Darius Rucker,

sometimes they're fun songs like "We Weren't Crazy" by Josh Gracin,

other times they're just plain fun songs like "Eight Second Ride" by Jake Owen,

and a few are kinda sexy songs like "I Get Off" by Halestorm.

Usually they're country songs (it's just so us),

but sometimes they aren't.

There are songs that I associate with other things too.

Lilo and Stitch soundtrack and Bette Middler reminds me of camping with the Schmidts,

Kenny Chesney's No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems reminds me of trips to San Francisco,

"Hey Delilah" and "Bodies" reminds me of my little sister.

There are songs that I've laughed to, that anytime I hear them, I can remember that exact moment and sometimes I smile, sometimes I giggle remembering the good times.

There are songs I cried to that any time I hear that song it brings those memories and usually a few tears flooding back into my life.

There are ones that bring back memories of fighting and anger, and ones of consoling friends after they got into a fight or had their hearts broken.

So many songs make such a huge impression on our lives.

Are there any songs that do that for you?

More plans... and pictures!

Wedding plans are comming along!

We decided that we aren't doing the wedding at Apple Hill,

were talking to his grandparents tomorrow

(hopefully)

to make sure it's ok if we do the wedding at their house...

And if so, we actually have an official date.

Until it's is official, I don't want to post it since the last one hasn't worked out for us. lol

I think it's going to be so much fun setting up his grandparents' place, and it's going to be so beautiful!

We're going to have so much help doing it!

Some times it's actually overwhelming with how many people want to help. lol

It's hard to believe that I'm saying that, but it really is.

I'm such a do-it-myself type of person and while I appreciate so many people wanting to participate,

it kind of drives me crazy to try to find things for people to do.

And I'm on the verge of not really wanting a bridal shower or bachelorette party...

I'm just glad that I have Sabrina and Mel to step in and make things more Kelly oriented and adult...

I'm a little worried that with out them, things would get so carried away and be either not something I would enjoy, be something way too crazy, expensive, or childish.

I think they're are going to be my saviors through this!

And how do you tell one of your best friends that you aren't going to have them in your wedding party?

I think I know how I'm going to say it, but I have yet to actually see her.

I really don't want to do it over the phone, but it's kind of getting to that point.

Apparently she is getting jealous of her sister since I asked her sister to be a big part in my wedding,

and I didn't invite her to a bridal party event my and my girls went to...

but she has been so pre-occupied with her "significant other" that she hasn't had the time for me and the wedding.

I hate feeling like a bridezilla,

and I hate the idea of hurting a friend,

but of all the people who want to help with the wedding,

the ones I really need and want help from are my bridal party!

And it's not fair having everyone else doing things while one member is off doing other things,

silly, selfish things, but still having her in the wedding,

giving her a special place above everyone else I could have had in the spot,

above someone else who I would love to have in that spot.

Above someone else who would deserve to be in that same spot.

Ugh. I don't know.

So, done with the depressing part,

I just needed to get that off my chest.. my fiance has heard it enough lately. lol

My beautiful Matron of Honor, and honorary non-related sister posted some great pictures from when I went to try dresses on and from our girls night out event when she and my sister tried on dresses.

So, I decided that I would post my absolute favorites of those.

I love Zoe in this picture... the look of wonder on her face

Zoe stepping on the train. It was really funny.

She needed a turn on the step too!

The look on my face cracks me up. It's such a Kelly face!

Once a band geek, always a band geek! In marching form in a wedding dress!

There's a smile! It's really there!

I think this is one of my favorites! It looks so cool!

Not too sure about the veil. lol

It's the "waiting to see if mommy will buy it for me" face. lol

My beautiful baby sissy looking very Alice in Wonderland-ish in a cute number from Alfred Anelo

And in the same dress but looking like a mix between girl-next-door and a Barbie Doll

Sabbie in the dress she liked at Alfred Angelo!

(isn't she gorgeous?!)

And the back of the dress! Super dramatic... amazing!

That's all I have right now.

If we get permission from Matt's Grandparents to have the wedding at their house, I'm going to take pictures of the property to post... I think it would be cool to have some before and after pictures..

Be able to see what the property looks like before we do any work on it,

during all of the "construction" and work that we do,

and then the aftermath of everything...

I just hope it turns out like the vision I have in my head!

I'm sure if it doesn't, it'll still be beautiful... if it doesn't turn out better!

But It really should be bed time soon as I have to take my sister to her friend's house at 8am,

 so if I sleep tonight I have to be up at 7 something. Joy.

Then it's back up to my fiance! YEY! lol

Until later, Good night!

My Dress!

So, I said that I would post about the dress that I'm purchasing, so here it is!

The second I had the dress on I knew it was the dress I was going to buy.

It had the elements I really wanted in a dress:

1. it was fairly simple

2. It was strapless

3. It has a corset back!

I didn't have to see it in the mirror to know it was the one.

Something clicked in my head and I couldn't wait to see it on.

I had a very hard time trying not to cry when I was showing it off...

one of my best friends, Lauren, caught the moment perfectly in the previous pictures.

After trying on the rest of the dresses, I went back and put this one on again...

And we had a little bit of fun.

Lauren wanted to see a veil on my head

(I think I'm veto-ing the veil however)

Then I needed to test sitting down in the dress...

So I decided to show off my fabulous DC's...

in our wedding colors, none-the-less!

I seriously didn't want to take the dress off (in case it isn't evident from the numerous pictures!)

I can't wait until the one we ordered for me comes in!

It will probably have some alterations that will need to be done to it,

but once it fits like a glove, I'll be sure to post pictures of me in my REAL dress!

And just cuz I love it so much

(it's the last one until mine comes in, I swear! lol.)

Dress Shopping!!

On Saturday,

me, my mom, sister, two of my very good friends Sabrina and Lauren, and Zoe (Sabrina's little girl)
went to the wonderful Alfred Angelo Bridal Salon in Roseville, CA

where we were assisted by the lovely Adrienne in trying on, choosing, and buying my wedding dress!

So, here are picture from said trip:

First: the dresses that didn't make the cut:

The dress that came in second place

(and my fiance's first choice):

I did purchase a dress that day, and it was the perfect dress...

But I'm saving that for another post!

Comming along fabulously!

I must say that wedding plans are comming along so well!

As I mentioned before, I have my ring

(my engagement ring, I have decided is the only one I want)

we have our color theme picked out

(Black, Indigo, and Silver)

We have also decided on a few new things, and have some others that are in the works!

We have an appointment at the High Sierra Iris and Wedding Gardens in Camino, CA on Friday to check out their facilities:

(www.weddingsnflowers.com/weddings.html)

and if that doesn't work out for us,

we're going to host our wedding festivities ar Matt's Grandparent's house!

We're deciding between two weekends, but are shooting for October 21, 2011 now.

I also found a photographer that we want to use.

His pricing fits perfectly in our budget and the photos he has on his site are incredible for the price.

www.corytrese.com/index.html

I found some great centerpieces that I want to re-create and/or use as a base for my own ideas including:

paper flowers from: meholder.blogspot.com

something a bit rustic and fall-ish from: http://www.oncewed.com/

Dramatic candle lighting from: howidiy.com

I have also collected ideas for decorations, gifts, etc from the following places:

mydiyweddingday.com,

myrecipies.com,

engagedsacramento.com,

http://www.diywedding.org/,

http://www.diynetwork.com/,

http://www.chillpit.co.za/,

http://www.diybride.com/

http://www.fiftyflowers.com/,

http://www.do-it-yourself-weddings.com/,

my best friends,

and a few other sources.

I can't wait to really get started!!

The fun of planning your own wedding...

...I am going to get to share so much of it with my closest friends and my new family.

I can't wait to really be able to get into everything.

Right now, it's all the technical stuff:

Where the venue is going to be?

What photographer do we want to use?

Do we want to have a DJ?

Who do we want to do our cake? And all the details that go with that,

How much money do we really want to spend?

All that kinda stuff.

The stuff I can't wait for is the decorations!

Getting to make the center pieces,

putting together mine and the girls' bouqets (and possibly the boutiners too),

Getting the decorations for around the area...

All that kind of stuff.

Although, I do get to do some fun stuff now...

like putting together registeries!

Although I do have to have Matt help with some parts of it...

like what kind of furniture and certain household items we want.

I can't go around planning every aspect of our lives after all. lol

But it's still fun getting to look at everything

and think about what our place is going to look like down the road!

I can't wait!

I think the next 15 months is going to come really fast as far as planning goes,

but not fast enough to make him my husband!

Not many people get to marry their best friend..

not even that, he is pretty much my soul mate,

my other half,

my "better half",

and I am so lucky to not only have met him,

but for us to have fallen so deeply in love with one another.

It's going to be a great life.

Fun wedding stuff

Tonight, or this morning as I guess it actually is, I decided to flip through one of my bridal magazines,

getting ideas for the nuptials taking place next year, and I found an article about choosing songs for the processional, recessional, and ceremony...

This of course, led me to take some of the suggestions, then I turned to trusty youtube.com,

where I found some great videos of some very interesting (and different) ways to come into (or leave the ceremony)...

as well as some fun first dances (not your typical ball room-esque dancing),

and some fun surprise dances that I could do with my bridal party...

The last part I found most intriguing and have decided to look into some fun songs that me and my girls could perform to.

I also looked a little at flowers at work that I could get for really inexpensive

and would make not only cute decorations,

but fairly inexpensive favors for those who take them after the reception.

My idea would be to put some smaller rocks into a container of some sort,

then put the flower (still alive, not picked) into the container as well...

And surround them with some candles of different sizes.

Cute but simple center pieces that are low so people can see everything going on around them.

The more I look into things, the more excited I get...

I just hope that it all comes together like I want it to.

Still have a little over a year to perfect it all...

I really want to do a good job.

A bit discouraging

The more I look into some of the venues in the area, the more discouraged I get.

It's difficult to try to plan a wedding when the fiance has other things on his mind,

even more dificult when there isn't a budget set,

and even more so when it seems like many of the venues just keep getting more and more expensive,

or have hidden costs that they don't tell you about in the main part of the quote.

We keep talking about doing a small ceremony with just immediate family and doing a larger reception later,

and with the way prices are, it seems like that may be the way to go.

It'll make a lot of people mad, but I'm running out of ideas for making this a fairly inexpensive wedding

(as if those actually exist. lol)

I guess I'll figure something out,

and I hope he starts coming around a little more and helps make some decisions...

maybe setting up a cake testing one of these days would be a fun idea to get him a bit more in the mood.

Anyone have any anicdotes or ideas that you may have used to get the man in your life to help witht he wedding plans?

So much to do... 15 months to do it in! lol

It's been a while since I've been on here!

Work has been giving me crazy hours

and on my free time I seem to be either down at my mom's or "house hunting" with Matt.

But BIG news... well, it's already gotten all over facebook...

and I think just about everyone knows, but...

I'm ENGAGED!!

Matt proposed on the beach in Seaside the day we got down to Monterey for our 1 year anniversary!

I of course said, "Yes"... actually, I said "absolutely"... but same difference! lol

SO now, it's on to wedding plans.

We've gotten some done.

Out tentative date is: October 25, 2011

and our colors are: Black, Blue, and Silver

We haven't really decided on a theme yet, although I have a few in mind

(I think that part may be part of my job. lol)
We've got an idea of where we want to host the festivities...
We really like the idea of Apple Hill in the Fall, since it something we really enjoy together...
Tahoe or areas of Placerville are some other ideas that have been discussed.
I think we pretty much want it outdoors where we can really enjoy the color change...
and preferably NOT in Sacramento. lol...
although there are some areas like the Delta King and Old Sac that could be kinda fun for that sorta thing.
We'll see.

I have decided that a good portion of it is going to be DIY..

things like: Flowers, hair, make-up, decorations...

and hopefully the things that aren't DIY I can get fairly cheap from places like

Walmart, Target, Wishing Well, and Michaels... and maybe garage sales. lol

Or any other places I see fit :)

I'm really excited, cuz I'll pretty much be marrying my best friend!

And after years of not being happy with other people, we finally found each other last year, and now we get to spend the rest of our lives together!

Wow...

I can't believe how long it's been since my last post...

Life has been so busy lately...

late nights at work,

spending the nights at Matts, where I practically never go on the computer,

busy days when I do come home running around...

Nights like tonight don't happen very often.

We're not too sure where we are gong to end up yet...

after paying my mom off and getting my own working vehicle, it's all up in the air.

I really do like the idea of Matt being a cop and my running the B&B/ Dude Ranch...

it would be a lot of work, but it sounds completely perfect.

I can't wait to see if we can't actually work it all out though.

On the Floor... Eek!!

Today was my official first day on the Floor!

I feel like it should actually be my first day since the last few I spent back in the HR dept/ Training Room.

It was soo long, and I'm so tired.

I'm not too sure if it was from waking up so early (I haven't been up @ 5:30am in forever... and didn't go to bed til around 11pm), or if it is from not used to being on my feet so long.

And the over load of information.

There is so much information that I am trying to remember so that I don't screw anything up.

I also got my first on the job injury.

Nothing major, just something small between my finger nail and first digit.

But I still have to have a band aid on it to keep it from getting infected of re-opened.

And now, I have to get my butt off the couch, finish getting stuff done around the house so that I can get out of here in time to pick up my little sister from school.

I don't think I'm going to go to the cashier meeting tonight.

I might fall asleep in the car on the way home.

Not good.

So, yes. Turning the computer off. lol.

Night!

Terrific Tuesday? Not quite.

There are always those cute little adjectives to go with the days of the week,

However, I don't think that terrific really fits Tuesday...

well, at least this Tuesday.

It's one of those manic days where there is a ton that needs to be done, but not enough time to do it.

Besides that some of the things i wanted to do, like mow the lawn, I can't because it's broken.

Lame!

And then, because I haven't gotten a paycheck yet, I'm starting to run low on gas...

The drive from here to Folsom practically everyday isn't pretty. lol.

At least the work isn't too bad.

Getting payed to be trained in front of the computers sounds like fun to me. lol. Not.

I just hope I'll be out on the floor soon so I can really get into the job.

I hate having to sit around. It makes me really tired.

And getting woken up at 6:30 to commotion in the house, again at 7:30 to my mom texting me, then getting up at 9 after not going to bed til about 2am is pretty miserable.

And now, I'm finishing my laundry while counting down the minutes until I have to leave, once again.

Joy to the world. :-P

So tired

I forgot how tiring work actually is.

I had my first "work" day today and it consisted of hours in front of a computer for training.

I don't know how many hours I can stand sitting in front of a comupter, but I'm hoping I'm done soon!

It's actually more tiring to sit and have to focus on the screen than it is to actually work.

Rediculously lame!

I know I've got at least 5 hours tomorrow in front of it.

At least I don't go in til 4pm... I have the day to myself to relax and get some stuff done.

at least i'll have a good 28 hours on this paycheck! Yey!

I'm all up for nice happy paychecks. lol

I still have to check on some stuff for tomorrow before work,

then i'll be getting ready for & heading to bed.

Night.

Wishful Wednesday

'I wish' .... I could win the lottery REAL soon, and I would hope to pay off my debt so I could buy a house for me & my honey.

(http://www.homesandland.com/Real_Estate/WY/City/Thayne/ListingId/13076320.html)

I'd put about half of it away to build interest over time...

and put together a nice vacation, just the two of us! We could use it :)

(http://www.textually.org/textually/archives/2008/04/019950.htm)

I'm really excited about tomorrow, I'm getting together with a good friend and were going to go out for a walk, discuss plans for her engagment pictures, and possibly play with other wedding ideas and such!

I love being a female! lol

Working Woman!!

I got a job yesterday!

Now, I'm just waiting for my drug test and back ground check to come in...

then I get to go to orientation and training,

and after all of that, I will OFFICIALLY be a Lowe's Girl! lol

And, we're still hoping that Matt gets the job as an apprentice lineman with SMUD

so we can get him out of the casino.

If he does, down the road a little bit, we just might be moving to Wyoming!

I am pretty excited since WY was pretty much my idea and it's not Alaska. lol

Either way, I'll be getting the hell out of California! Oh yeah! lol.

I'm also working on getting back into shape, which is perfect since it's finally incredibly nice outside!

It's gunna take a little bit, but I'm so excited!!

Thankful Thursday and other things!

Today, I am extremely thankful for Matt.

Because of him, I applied at Lowes in Folsom Wednesday night,

and tonight, I got a call for an interview!

It's all set for tomorrow @ 2pm!!

I am beyond excited because, even though it's only part time,

 I can start paying my mom off,

and best of all: Move out with Matt!

Oh yes!! I am definatly most excited about that last one!

I'm also thankful for my little sister and her goofyness and her ability to be childish (she is only 13 after all) since it brings it out in me and allows the stress to melt away.

And on to other things:

Tomorrow is Friday, which is super exciting since there is so much planned

(getting ready for the interview, picking up & dropping off my sister, going to interview, then "shopping")

I'm hoping that it goes by fast cuz the next day is Saturday!

Saturday is one of my favorite days for one very good reason:

It's the day I get to take off for my weekend of fun and adventure with Matt

(fun and adventure... hahaha)

Sunday is a good one too since I get to spend the whole day in Shingle Springs.

I LOVE getting to spend time up there.

Seriously, I'd be there all the time if I could.

We'll, not that I love the area... I just really LOVE being with Matt.

(hehe. I love my goober!)

Currently, I'm trying to get the Married on Myspace Season 2 videos to load.

I'm kind of failing at it though.

I'm also wishing that I could type properly tonight instead of spelling every second to third word wrong since I'm a mix between tired and thinking faster than I can type.

And since I mentioned typing, I'm wishing my "Y" key was working properly.

I'm kind of tired of having to re-read through everything I type because there may be a "Y" missing... unless I smash the keys down on the keyboard REALLY hard! lol

Well, I'm gunna get back to that video...

Later!
