Ohhhhhh Myyyyyy Goshhhhhhh!

This semester has flown by, I still cant believe its going to be over in 3 short weeks. It has been one of the funnest i've had here and i'm so glad I came back. Our house has been deemed "The Slut Hut" and sadly has stuck with us throughout the semester. Having 8 girls in a house has been pretty fun. I love the girls I live with and we all get along good. A perk of having 8 girls in one house is all the people it brings in. We constantly have people coming in and out and there's always something to do. There's been a lot going on this semester so ill do my best to sum it all up.

The semester started out with a bang. I started hanging out with a guy right off the bat. We started dating and dated for a good portion of the semester. We had fun but it obviously didnt go anywhere. You live and you learn right?

In the mist of all that we made a few trips. One being to California for spring break. Jackie, Jessica, Missy and me went up to Missy's moms for the week. We shopped, ate way to much thanks to Missy's awesome mom, and beached it. It was quick but fun.

We also made the trip up to Utah for conference this year. Ive always wanted to go but never have been able to. Luckily Uncle Sam sent me a nice little check this year and I was able to do all the things Ive been deprived of the past 2 years. Jackie, Hayden, Missy and me all went up. We stopped in Vegas on the way up and spent the night conquering the strip. We figured it would be better to go on the way up than after conference. We got into all the sessions on Saturday after begging people on the corner for tickets. It was awesome and im so glad I finally got to expierence it. We met up with Clint and his wife Paige and than got to hang out with Tory for a couple days.

We made a few trips to Mesa for various reasons, one being the Easter Pageant at the Temple. Hayden had never been (being from Boise and all) so we thought it'd be fun for him and it was.

I know im leaving out a bunch of stuff and it may not sound as fun as ive made it out to be, but trust me it was! Other than the big things ive just been busting butt in school. I started actually trying in school which is a first for me. Its been alright we'll see how good I did at the end of the semester.

Chea came down here at the beginning of the semester to take some pictures of us. She is so amazing. You can check her out here :)

Guess Whose Back!!

Thats right ladies and gents, me. Well Im back in Thatcher. And Im over the fact that this is my 3rd year and that this is a two year school. It feels good and beats the heck out of Tucson. It was kind of a last minute decision but so far it has been worth it! Im back with Jackie, Julie, and Missy plus Bryndee, Ami, Rachel, and Whitney... You counted right, theres 8 of us. Its a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom house and to be honest it really isnt that bad. We all get along and we havent had any major problems these first two weeks. Lets see if we can make it 3 more months :) I'll put pictures up when I get em'.

Oh Hello.

I have a great excuse as to why I havent updated in a while.
1. I dont have alot to update about.
2. My dumb neighbor kicked us off his internet.
The funny thing about #2 is that he tried being "sneaky" about it. Um hello were neighbors, im going to see you eventually. Its not like I havent noticed that we cant get on the internet anymore. So thank you for that downstairs Nate. We appreciate it. Pause not.

Well October has come and gone. Halloween was sorta fun. Im not a big Halloween person. I always say Im going to plan some awesome costume, but when the time comes I decide I dont want to. Then on Halloween I decide I do want to dress up. So this year was the same as always. I went looking at like 3 on Halloween day for a costume. Me and Adam went down to 4th ave. and it was packed to say the least. I ended up with a little boys "pirate" costume from Wally world. It looked like anything but a pirate, but I dealt with it. I went to the institute dance for a while and then we went back to Chris's house and watched a movie. It was a good night.
November has FLOWN by. The scariest thing happened though, after work one day Adam and Chris called me to see if I wanted to go to a movie. So I met them at Chris's house and we went to the movies, then we decided to go down to university ave. for the pep rally, and then we went back to his house and watched another movie. While we were watching it the motion light outside his house came on so I was looking at the window because I didn't think anyone else was coming. And as im watching it I see a figure walk by and kinda lean over right by his car so I hit Chris and was like Chris someones outside!! So he jumped up and grabbed his gun (he's a cop) and opened the door and he was like "hey bro what the heck are you doing?" And then he took off. I was freaked out and we went outside and Chris had chased some guy down the alley but he got away. But Chris said he was at my car door and was trying to open the door! I was like what the heck! I'm glad the didn't break in, not that they would have gotten anything good out of it but nontheless it would have been a pain. Then to top it all off, Chris's house got broken into on Friday. The whole thing is scary to me, I dont think I could sleep there after something like that...if it were my house. But they stole his tv, laptop, and then a bunch of his guns.
After that whole deal we went down the Rocky Point with the McCowns. It was fun like always, it was nice to get away from work and everything for the weekend.
This last Thursday/Friday at midnight, guess what I was doing. Ding ding, me and Cait were at the New Moon premiere. Haters get lost. I LOVED every single minute of it. I will definitely be seeing it again, possibly again after that. I highly recommend it. I didnt like the first one when I saw it, but this one was bomb the whole way through. Me and Cait were there sporting our team Jacob shirts, let me tell you him alone is worth watching the movie for. He is awesome and made me love him more than ever!!
Other than that not a whole lots going on. I cant believe Thanksgiving is next week and then Christmas is a few weeks later, this last few months has just flown.

My Day of Labor

*Notice- This post is extremly long...Like really long.

I really love my life. Its so simple right now and I figure this is the only time in my life I'll be able to make sparatic trips to the beach when im broke. For labor day weekend Caitlin, Adam, Rhett, Nick, Kelsey and I all went to California. They decided they wanted to go like Wednesday night and I decided I was going to go for sure the Friday we left. It ended up being so last minute and we sure did pay for that. I ended up driving my truck along with Caitlin and Adam. Caitlin rode the whole way up in the back. Kudos for her. And then Nick, Rhett and Kelsey drove up in his car. Lets just say this trip was the trip from hell but it actually turned out to be one of the best i've been on.

Friday night we were all planning on leaving at 7. I knew it wouldnt happen and of course it didnt. Nick called our motel before we left but did it through hotels.com. When he talked to the guy he made sure he knew we were coming in at like 3 am and the guy told him that we wouldnt have to worry about paying for Friday night and we would just be charged for Saturday and Sunday. So Nick books it and we finally leave around 9 and we drive up to Oro Valley and pick up Kelsey. We stop and get something to eat and then we fiiiiiiiinally leave for real this time! Caitlin slept in the back most of the way and me and Adam talked and sang songs till he fell asleep. I was doing real good till we got across the border. Thats when I started getting tired and so I turned up the AC and I sang louder and Adam would wake up and ask how I was doing and depending on my answer he'd either stay awake or go back to sleep. But around 2 I was sooo tired. So Adam gave me an energy drink that I downed in no time but of course I spilt a large amount down the front of my white shirt. I didnt think it was a big deal, thought it would just blend in, but when we stopped I went in to the store and asked for the bathroom key and the guy just kinda looked at me weird. So I went in the bathroom and looked in the mirror, not only did I look cracked out but I also looked like I puked down the front of my shirt. It was awesome. We kept on driving and we got lost so we drove around more hoping to stumble upon where we needed to be. Finally we stopped again and Adam got directions. We finally arrived at like 3:30 and we get to the motel and of course they have no reservation for us. We were all tired. I had been up for like 22 hours at this point and we had no where to stay! So Nicks talking to the lady whose talking to hotels.com and were getting nowhere. So we ask if we can just get a room and the lady was like were all full but if we did you'd have to pay for Friday night. I was like were not paying for Friday night its absoultley ridiculous since it wasnt even Friday anymore and the sun was freaking coming up! So we went to a couple other places on the street and they all said the same thing, that we'd have to pay for Friday night or wait till check in Saturday morning. So we parked in a parking lot and slept in the cars. Rhett, Nick, and Kelsey slept in the back of my truck while I slept across the front seat, which was awesome once my leg and stomach got numb from where the seatbelt thing was jabbing me. We slept a couple hours and when I woke up I had to pee sooooo bad, like bad where it hurt, like I was literally contemplating whether or not I should pee my pants. So me and Kelsey tried asking if we could use a bathroom at the hotel but of course not cuz "they dont have public restrooms". So we walked a block down to the jack in the box to use theres. Keep in mind I look even better than the night before because I selpt in a car and there was so much humidity in the air AND I had "puke" down the front of my shirt. Awesome I tell you. But we finally get into a different hotel where we all just crashed on the beds. We squeezed 3 people in each bed and the 6 of us shared one bathroom all weekend. It wasnt actually bad though. But we slept for a couple more hours and then hit up the beach. We went to La Jolla and the water was actually nice and plesently warmish. But within the first 5 min I got pounded by a wave and lost my only sunglasses. I was so bummed. But we beached all day and then that night we went out to eat and came home and passed out.
Sunday we drove to Orange County because my old roomates decideded to come to Cali that weekend to. So we were planning on meeting up with them at the beach, which never happened. But we drove to Balboa beach and drove around for over an hour looking for parking with no avail. We finally just drove down to Hunnington beach and we stayed there for a few hours. Im not a big swimmer or into playing in the ocean to much. It kinda creeps me out. Im more of lay on the beach and tan kinda person. But as I was laying there I was kinda watching Adam and Cait and everyone and I see a boat get real close to them and then I see the lifeguards swimming to them and so I go down to see whats going on and apparently Adam got rescued because him and Cait got stuck in a rip tide. It was pretty funny though, Adam got on the boat and Caits lifeguard swam her back to shore. It was prettty eventful. Oh ya and as I was standing there all concerned a wave came up and took my bottoms with it. Luckily I was quick like a cheetah and I pulled those suckers on so fast, but not fast enough for Rhett and Cait who were lucky enough to get a glimpse of my sweet cheeks. Me and Cait could not stop laughing although I was pretty embarrased and Rhett just sort of stood there. It wasnt as bad as the day before though when it happened to Cait cept it was her top... Rhett was there for that too. Guess he was the lucky one.

But that night we stayed with Missy at her house. It was fun being with the girls again, I miss them so much and we always have a good time. After we all got showered we went down to Laguna Beach and walked around the town and talked on the beach. It was real nice, and Missy and Jackie and Julie and Kent came and met up with us. I ended up staying with them and everyone else went back and slept. But the rest of us took a thousand pictures of ourselves like usual. It was fun like always. Monday we all got up and got ready to head home. We were planning on stopping at the San Diego Temple and then going back to La Jolla for a little while longer to hang out before we left. So we left missys and went to Dennys for breakfast and then drove to the temple. When we got there Adam went to look for his camera to take some pictures and couldnt find it. Of course he had left it back in Mission Viejo at the Dennys so we walked around the temple took a couple pictures and then Me Adam and Cait went back while Nick Rhett and Kelsey went back home. All in all it wasnt bad. I think I laughed more on that trip than anywhere else. My stomach was literally sore from laughing on the way home. It was alot of fun and im so glad we ended up going.

What happened to the summer??

Summer is basically over and I cant believe how fast its gone by. This summer was pretty good though, I've had alot of fun and met alot of new people. Its weird that school is starting up again and im not going back. Im so sad im not going back to Thatcher this semester! Im so jealous hearing everyone talking about going back while im staying in Tucson. Im gonna stand by my decision of not going back though despite everyones negative opinion. I think it will do me good to take this semester off. Fortunatley for me I got a legit job. Im working at the same dental lab that I've been working at all summer, cept they made me official and im on the pay roll now :] I work full time and I drive all around town and do things in the office. I really like it so far and am so glad to be working.

As we all know I moved out across town with my bf Caitlin Rand. We live in a ghetto apartment. Its not that ghetto though, its really not even bad. It's 2 bedroom and 1 bath, me and Cait are currently sharing the big bedroom leaving us with our "office". Its pretty cool, everyone thinks were lesbians for sharing 1 room when we could both have our own haha. We are kinda sorta looking for a roomate, so if anyone knows of anyone looking for a place by the UofA let us know. No crazy girls or cougars, please and thank you :]

Who wouldnt wanna live with us??

We went to the 4th ave. re-opening thing last night. It was fun, I like 4th ave alot. There are lots of crazies but the shops are really cool. Me and Cait decided to take a cute little tour on a bike taxi. It was awesome haha. Mike our biker drove us up and down and all around. I reccomend everyone do one... Here's a couple pictures from the night.

This weird guy basically molested me right before the picture thats why my arm is weirdly placed. Im not sure who he is or why we even took a picture with him...

The Best Day

Ok, so I lied. It wasnt the best day but it was a good one. I have a list of things I want to do in life. Most of its in my head but I have some of it written down as well. One of those things is to ride the city bus! Today was the day it got crossed off my list. I met up with Adam and Nick today for lunch and Adam happened to have the day off as well so when Nick went back to work me and Adam were talking and I told him how I wanted to ride the bus and we decided to go. Adam kept asking where I wanted to go but I had no clue, so we decided to ride it down to Caitlins work. We waited and waited for route 5 but it wasnt coming so we switched. We rode one to downtown then hopped on one that took us to Craycroft. There are so many creepy people. I dont think i'd ever ride it by myself. But we did meet one boy who was kinda cool. We've been searching for someone who knows how to jerk, (it's a type of dance) and before today we hadnt met anyone who even knew what it was. But he said he'd been practising. He was really weird too. We missed the bus that took us to whatever street we needed so me and Adam walked the rest of the way. Im just glad it wasnt any hotter than it was. Note to self: Bring water next time.
My jerkin friend
Best dollar I ever spent

As for the rest of my summer its been pretty good. Im still looking for a permanent job, im hoping things with Wells Fargo work out. We had a family reunion back in June. It was a good time, it always is. Somehow me and 3 other of my cousins convinced ourselfs that it would be a cool idea to volunteer to set up the reunion after the next one. I will be 23 but I dont know if I'll be any better at it. After we got home me and Caitlin moved into our apartment. Apparently places exist that dont have lights. Our apartment came with a light in the kitchen and the bathroom but other than that theres nothing. Its so weird. But we have one lamp now, we sit in the dark alot. Other than the no lights aspect its cool. The place is slightly ghetto but not horrible. I havent really taken any pictures. I took Adam Caitlin Nick and Rhett to Thatcher a few weeks ago to pick up my futon. They hated it. I was so sad. I love that place like no other. My fondest memories are from there and its so hard to bring people there and have them understand. But we have a couple pictures from there and thats about all. I'll take some of our new place sometime and put them up. Me and Caitlin found these african dresses at Ross. They were awesome.

Oh ya, next week I turn 2o! How weird is that? Presents always welcome :]

P.S. Had I known we were gonna ride the bus after lunch I might have actually gotten dressed for the occasion. I had been cleaning our apartment all morning, thats why I look so goood.

Its Over!!

This semester is finally over. I cant believe how fast it went by. This last semester has definatly been my favorite so far though I think. I loved my roomates and I dont think I have ever laughed more than I have in the last few months. Me, Jackie, Julie and Missy got along really well and did everything together. We were lucky enough to have 4 girls who rarely got sick of eachother, although we had our times they were limited. The last few weeks were really fun. Again we waited till the very end to make new friends and actually hang out, but it was really fun. We lost our beloved Taylor. He was like our 7th roomate. He was constantly at our house and although we hated him a good 50% of the time, it wouldnt have been nearly as much fun without him.

(Taylor drew himself in our picture...)

The weekend before finals we went to California for the weekend to pick up Missy's dads FJ Cruiser so she could get all her stuff back home. We went to Laguna Beach that night and went looking for "LC's house". Missy and Julie were sick the whole time so it wasnt to fun for them. Me and Jackie made it all the way home after sharing beds with them and spending a good 2 days in the car with them without getting sick. We were so proud. Monday night after we got back I felt it coming on. That night we decided to burn our couch. It was deemed the scorpion couch after Jackie was bit by a scorp and had to be rushed to the ER. True story I might add. It was a good time, the turnout was better than expected although we didnt really know any of the people that came.

I dont know if I ever talked about our neighbors. They were hard core rednecks. But we liked them, they were very helpful with whatever we needed. There were 3 of them in the beginning but they had a few friends move in over the year. They were often found in the front yard drinking with their friends tryin to talk to us girls. They were a good time. They gave us some fireworks one night and Jackie had a ball with them. She got way more than anyone else.

Finals went well. I think. My english class was my favorite. Our teacher was in the high council and has got to be one of the funniest weirdest people I've ever met. Me Jackie and Missy all had that class together and I think we were definatly his favorite. Jackie found out he had a son going to school there so she always joked that she was going to date him so she could get an A. So one day in class I told him that Jackie liked his son and although he made fun of it alot Im pretty sure he liked the idea of it. He would always talk about it. And then the night of our final when Jackie handed in her paper, he wrote down his sons number and gave it to her. It was so funny!

Since I've been home Ive come to realize how nasty we must have smelled. Our apartment smelt like a nasty motel room and it didnt seem to bad after a little while. I guess we just grew accoustomed to it because when I got home the smell made me so sick. My truck smells like smokey hooker and so do all my clothes. I just hope it wasnt that bad at school. No wonder we didnt have friends lol.

Its good to be gone but at the same time my life is so much more boring. I miss all the girls and all our jokes. Its hard to bring Beau and Bailey in on my jokes since most of them dont make sense to other people and their not "age appropriate". Although they were saying DWAM today. My mom didnt like that one to much...
Well like I said we had some good times and I cant wait to have some more.
