Recent Projects

Sunday, December 23, 2007

...So I have to start deleting some of my pictures from my husbands computer. I've been working on two different projects recently...one is finished, the other is not.
The first project is for my in-laws. I made this sign for them-it was a blank peice of wood. So I cut the vinyl, painted it, antiqued it,and primed it. I noticed they had "Return with Honor" all over there house, which I know has to do with their religion, so I thought...why not?




The other project I've been working on is a brag book. So far, all I've gotten done is the cover...oops.





Hopefully during this break, I'll be able to finish it.

Bubba's Birthday

So last Sunday we celebrated my nephew, Braden's fourth birthday. He is soo dang cute, but it breaks my heart how big he's gotten. He's really into Spiderman, and cars right now...so one of the presents he got from my little sister was a Spiderman thing that goes on his wrist, and he "slings" little red chips at bad guys.





Paeton and Braden spent a lot of time playing with it. Then Braden got the bright idea to try and shoot my dogs, but I put a stop to that REAL quick.
For his birthday lunch, we had corndogs and soda at his request. I wasn't pleased with that, but hey, it wasn't my birthday.

He also got a couple presents from Bevan and I, and then from Grandma April.




Grandma Aprils present ( Ahem-which I picked out) was ALL THE RAGE. Seriously. Both Paeton and Braden really liked it. It was this Disney floor book that has all these learning puzzles and games in it. It also has games where he can practice writting his letters, and numbers. The cool thing about it though is that its like a dry erase board, so he can erase everything and do it all over again.
They are both soo dang cute. They were both sitting on the floor writing in the book, and Braden turned the page because he wanted to draw on the Cars page- but Paeton, who is a very strong willed little girl- started being bossy and telling him to turn it back. After a mintute- Bradens response was " Ok Paeton. Me turn it back just for you. Whatevah."
I just started laughing because he can't pronounce his "R's", and he was acting really exasperated by Paeton being bossy. But he's the most giving and caring little boy you will ever meet. I think he's had a rough time with his dad not being in his life, and his mom not really being around-but I just hope he keeps his personality as he gets older. He really is the best little boy a person could ask for.

A good Idea

Wednesday, December 19, 2007

So--if any of you, who actually read this blog, are ever in a situation where you need to buy me a quick gift- I have the perfect idea! I want Lowe's giftcards. I spent about an hour today in Lowes while wasting time in Pocatello, and holy crap! I got about 1000 ideas of stuff I could make. I've decided Im going to start perfecting my crafts, and then start selling them at local boutiques, or on the internet. And the majority of my supplies would come from Lowes. Also- they have a lot of cute furniture I reeally realllly want. They have this black ladder bookshelf that was really cool- and a lot cheaper than the one I was eyeing at Target. They also have these white wooden organizing units I could use for my scrapbooking stuff.
Anyways- enough about Lowes- but it sure is a cool store.

Finally! Something unrelated to school.

Friday, December 14, 2007

So last night I finally decided to get off my lazy butt, stop doing homework, or anything related to school- and I made gifts for the people in my office. I stayed up until midnight baking Gingerbread Men, and putting the gifts together. I also spent some time making gift tags- but I didn't do the elaborate fancy gift tags I normally do because...well, lets face it, I love the people in my office- but not that much. They would just end up throwing them away, and I didn't want to waste all my time and materials.
I have this really horrible habit of completely tearing the house apart while Im there alone, and then I hurry and clean it up RIGHT before Bevan gets home. But last night, he actually came home an hour early....

I'm suprised he still loves me.

The house...or more specifically, the kitchen was disasterous. I mean, the counters were stained a deep mohagony from gingerbread men dough- there was flour all over the place, including in my hair- and dishes were piled in my sink.
BUT I got it cleaned up in no time, and the gifts and cookies turned out pretty good.

Baby Fever

Sunday, December 9, 2007

For some strange reason, the past two weeks I have had baby fever. Bevan and I have been talking about it alot lately, which is probably perpetuating it. It's just so strange how your feelings change, and your body changes as you get older. Just two years ago I was convinced I never wanted kids, and now it's like I can't stop thinking about it. Logically, I know it's still not the right time due to room in our house, time management, and finances. Writing about it, and talking about it helps ease my desires a lot. Also, planning stuff out seems to help to. For example, when I have a child, I REALLY REALLY want a round crib. I think they are just so modern looking, and don't take up much space. So this is what I found on the internet...






Oh well. All good things come with time, and I know that. Besides, I could never bring a child into this world without the ability to give him/her everything they desired. And I will be able to do that after three more semesters.

...I really hope not

Wednesday, December 5, 2007

So Bevan and I were talking the other night, and there is a HUGE possibility that he will get a job offer in the Pocatello/Chubbock area. I guess they are really short on police officers in that area. I just have Pocatello and I can't even imagine living there. Naturally I would move and support him in any way I could...but ugh. Pocatello sucks. Bevan's not looking forward to it either, and its not a for sure thing yet. But if it does end up happening, I just have to tell myself it will only be short-term.

Yay christmas!!

Thursday, November 29, 2007

I've been buying a lot of christmas stuff lately, just because I want to start slowly building my collection of decorative things, so when we buy a bigger house, I'll have more places to put all my decorations! Bevan does not agree with this theory, but oh well. So we have a nine foot christmas tree that I bought last year for DIRT CHEAP because I had returned it at Sam's Club. Well the box is SOOO DANG heavy, and bulky, that we stored it at my parents house last year after the holiday passed. This year I decided I didn't even want to mess with trying to drag that huge box over, so I went to Robert's and bought a plain 4 ft tree. I've decided that Im not very good at the decorating thing yet, but I will be! This is what I have so far...

Not so innocent.

So the dogs have this really horrible habit of following me wherever I go. If I'm in the kitchen, they will lay there and watch me cook. If Im in the computer room, they sit in there and chew on their bones. Well the other day I was in my scrapbooking room, and since I am in there a lot, the dogs have their own blanket to lay on. I had noticed that doomsday was laying their peacefully sleeping...looking sooooooo adorable.
Then I get to thinking...I wonder why is he SO worn out. Normally when this happens, its because he has expended all of his energy DESTROYING something. So I go out into the living room and....


His little blue monkey that he loved so very much is torn into shreds.
A masacre had just occured in my very own living room.

I'm a cookin' MA-CHeeenn..

Tuesday, November 20, 2007

Seriously. All I have done this week is cook or bake. Not because I had to, but because I love it. Earlier in the week I made homemade Chili for the first time ever, and it turned out awesome. I also made homemade Beef stew, Cheesey Rice & Chicken Casserole, orange fudge, and now I am making Burrito Supreme Casserole. Tomorrow I am also making Cinnamon Rolls, and then Dutch Apple Pie, and Caramel Apple Pie to take with us to Thanksgiving at The Andersons' house.
See...this is what I would be doing ALL the time if it wasn't for that stupid thing they call school... :(
Oh well, its something to look forward to when I get done with school. Baking and cooking. lol.. I need to get a life.

What to say?

Sunday, November 18, 2007

So today I was lurking around on myspace, and I was looking at this girls blog, who used to be my best friend growing up. During highschool, we grew apart, just due to normal teenage stuff. Well, as I was reading her blog, it talked about how she just lost her unborn child. It's so heart wrenching reading things like that, because, honestly? Is there anything I could ever say to help her? Is there anything I could say to make this pain go away?
And the answer to these questions is No. I can't do anything. No one can. I truely beleive that God has plans for everyone, and even though some of those plans are horrible things that make you question why He is doing it, you just have to have faith that everything will work out at He has planned.
I really just wish I could give her words that are comforting, and help her to gain closure, and heal throughout this process.

I did find this, and I really loved it. I never sent these words to her, but maybe I should have.

"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do. "
--Eleanor Roosevelt

Going back

Saturday, November 17, 2007

So I've decided that this is not going to be about my sorrows or my heartache thats going on in my family anymore. This blog is going BACK to being about me, Bevan, and the dogs. Our little family.That being said...
Bevan had to work overnight last night, so my friend Mindy came over, and we watched Disturbia. That movie is actually pretty good, I really liked it. I really felt bad for her though because the dogs were going crazy for her. Thor wouldn't stop laying on her, and Doomsday kept trying to smell her hair, eyes, and ears. Weird- I know.

I am also really really really excited for this week. We have a WHOLE week off from school. I'm going to scrapbook, make cards, and work extra hours. But in reality, I'll probably just end up working, and not get any of my scrapbook stuff done.

I am also really starting to feel the "Baby Pressure". It's getting kind of bad. It's almost like highschool all over again. Instead of hearing " Jessica, drink beer. You know you want to."
NOW I hear, " Jessica. Have a kid. Have a baby. You would make such beautiful babies. Do it. Come on." It's starting to freak me out a little bit!
It will all happen in due time.

Driving thoughts

Wednesday, November 7, 2007

Today on my drive from IF to Pocatello, I got to thinking about Bevan & I's relationship. It's strange to sit there and reflect on how much we have grown and changed, both as individuals, and as a couple. I was thinking about how when we first got together, all we did was argue, and fight. Most of that was due to me, since I had never really been in a "serious" relationship, and I was young. But one thing that has always remained the same, is that we have always been best friends. I think that is the reason why we are so committed and happy today. Very rarely does a day go by when we don't talk on the phone atleast 10 times. Very rarely does a day go by where we just sit there and talk to one another, tell each other about our day. It's such an amazing feeling to have your best friend be your husband. With that being said, we both have really gotten into a band called Death Cab for Cutie. ( If you haven't hear them before, you should. They are amazing.) But there is this one song, and everytime I hear it, I think of him.

Love of mine
some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light
or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

New Semester.

Monday, November 5, 2007

So on Friday, I got to sign up for my classes for next semester. It's unreal how fast this school year has gone by. It's also nice, because I just got my Senior level status, which means I get to sign up for my classes first. I'm actually really excited for next semester. One reason is because that means I am one step closer to finally being done. The other reason is because I am taking a lot of very interesting classes.
These are the classes I am looking forward to:

• Health care Leadership
• Insurance & Reimbursement
• Health care Practice Management
• Health Law & Bioethics

I told Bevan that I was really excited about taking Law & Bioethics, and the Insurance class, and his response was "Wow. You really belong in this field, because you're a nerd."

But I am taking two classes that I am not excited about. They are the sequel to accounting, and the sequel to statistics. They're okay, but not very interesting. Anyways, just thought I would share how excited I am to be taking more HCA classes!

Doomsday probably hates me.

Sunday, November 4, 2007

So today, I went out and bought DD a couple more doggy outfits. Bevan thinks I'm a little bit crazy, but that's alright. I bought him these two t-shirts that were on clearance, and a jacket that has fur around the hood...but the coat is too small. :( I was going to take pictures, but my camera batteries died...so as soon as I get come, I'll post this pictures ASAP.

My husband

Friday, November 2, 2007

I was tagged by my friend Talia Douglass...

My husband

What is his name? Bevan Burnell, B, Babe

How long have you been together? 5 years this last Sept.

How long did you date? Sept 21,2002-March ll,2006...soo a long time.

How old is he? 25

Who eats more? Him...by a long shot.

Who said I love you first? Bevan. But it was REALLY early on in our relationship. Even though we had been friends for about a year, he told me that after about a month, and I got really freaked out.

Who is taller? Bevan by like 1"

Who sings better? Bevan...he's actually a really good singer. And guitar player.

Who is smarter? It depends on the subject matter.... :) I would say Bevan.

Who does the laundry? We both do. I do mine, he does his. He doesn't trust me to do his...haha...he has a good reason too.

Who does the dishes? ME. But he'll help when I ask.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Bevan does. I am very particular about where I sleep on the bed.

Who pays the bills? Bevan was for a while, but I seem to have taken it over.

Who mows the lawn? Well...if we had a lawn...probably Bevan. There is nothing more I hate than doing yard work. ugh.

Who cooks dinner? Me. I love cooking, but like Talia, I despise the cleaning up.

Who drives when you are together? Bevan. Thats because usuually I am doing my makeup in the car.

Who is more stubborn? Thats a toss up. We are both very strong willed people.

Who is the first to admit when they're wrong? We both have gotten better at it, but probably Bevan.

Who kissed who[m] first? Bevan. But it wasnt until after many, many tries. Let me tell ya the story...
Bevan and I were hanging out, like we normally did, when he asked to take a ride in my new car. So, I let him drive, and he took me to this really secluded spot, and parked the car. I thought it was a little weird, but didn't mind. We started talking, and then I noticed that he kept trying to lean in for a kiss. I kept thinking to myself, "What in the world is he doing??". So I kept dodging his attempts, because last I knew, we were only friends. Finally on the drive home, he told me that he was in love with, and wanted to be together. I think it was a few days after that when we had our first kiss.

Who asked who[m] out? Bevan. See story above. But I must say, I shot him down a few times, and he STILL holds a grudge about it. haha.. :)

Who proposed? Bevan. He called me and asked if I wanted to have movie night over at his house. While we were watching the movie, he went into the kitchen, and came out with two boxes of cracker jacks. My "prize" was my beautiful ring. He popped the question, and I was sooo nervous, I didn't respond right away. Poor guy. :( OH, and might I add, when he went to my father, and asked him for permission to marry me...my dad called me and said. " Bevan is over here. He wants to marry you. What do you want me to say?" So basically my dad ruined the initial suprise.

Who is more sensitive? ME. There is no question. Sometimes I think I am a little too sensative.

Who has more friends? Bevan

Who has more siblings? We actually have the same amount. Five siblings.

Who wears the pants in the family? Probably the dogs.

Is trust no longer a virtue?

Thursday, October 25, 2007

If you had done something that was so bad that it nearly destroyed your family, caused rifts in relationships, and made people no longer trust you, would you really do it again?

I know I wouldnt. If I knew what I had done had caused so many hurt feelings, and so much heartache, I could NEVER in a million years do it again.


I could never be that selfish.

Schmemily Buttcrack

Wednesday, October 24, 2007

So after about three monthes of not seeing her, we finally got to visit with Emily for a while on Sunday. She hung out Mantha and I for a few hours in the afternoon. We played a couple games, went and got ice cream, and visited Bevan at the hospital. She is so dang cute. I always forget that little kids actually have personalities, and when I was hanging out with her, all I did was laugh. She's got an amazing sense of humor.

She likes to play this game where I lay down on the floor, and she gets on my legs, and pretends that Im a ride at the carnival. But the game is, she has to tell me her name before she gets on "the ride"...and so she always comes up with these silly names, and if she makes me laugh, she gets to stay on the ride longer. Well, she wanted to play this game on Sunday, and one of the names she came up with was "Butt Crack."..haha...she was like "My first name is Butt. My last name is Crack. Do you have a problem with that?"

And later when we went out to dinner, she also told me that she DIDNT like the name "Addison" but she loved the name "Madison." And so I told her that I didnt like the name Emily, but I LOVED the name "Shmemily". Her response was , "You're not funny."So now, her nickname is Schmemily Buttcrack.I know that this is a lame story, and Im not a good story teller, but she is just so cute & hilarious, I had to share.

Time flys

Monday, October 8, 2007

Wow, it's been a long time since I have updated this thing. Not a whole lot has been going on at the home front. I bought Doomsday a little sweater now that its starting to get cold. It's soooo freakin cute. We call him "the professor" now. He looks like a stuffy college professor with bad taste in clothing. It's really funny. I'll post a picture soon.

I am finally back in my Fax n' pull position at Sam's. I love it there. No matter how much I sometimes despise the person I work with, it is soooo much better than my previous position. I will just have to learn to bite my tongue so I can stay where I am. My pay went up, and my schedule is great. I only work 7-1 on school days, and 7-3 on Saturdays. I will also get a lot of holidays off that I normally never got.

School is going good as well. I am hating my accounting class, but thats not suprising. All my other classes I pretty much love, and excelling at them, even my management classes. Some of it is very intersting, and I really enjoy reading about it. It's good to wake up, and not think about how much I hate school, and just want to quit, like I did when I was in engineering. Now I wake up and look forward to going to school, and seeing some of my classmates. Bevan's school is going well too. It's actually starting to cost us a lot of money because of all the things he has to have. I never knew police equipment was so dang expensive. He actually is going in for a polygraph on Friday for the IFPD. And then the Chubuck police also want him to test for them. Hopefully something with either of the two will happen pretty soon. I can only be optimistic.

Oh, speaking of school, I had to do some volunteer work for one of my management classes, and I chose to volunteer at Emily's elementary school. I think my first day will be on this Friday, but it will only be for a few hours. Hopefully I will get to see her, but I highly doubt it.
Well, its getting late, and I really need some sleep. I promise to post more soon.

Bad week

Saturday, September 15, 2007

If I don't go crazy this week and/or kill myself, I'll have accomplished a lot. I have four tests plus a quiz this week. Next week I have two projects due, and another test. Taking this many credits probably wasn't the smartest thing I have ever done. Also, in this major, they do a lot of "group work"...which I am starting to despise. In engineering, it was all about learning it on your own. But this major, its all about GROUP GROUP GROUP. Literally, in all of my classes, I am a member of a stupid group.
Tomorrow I am going to go see Paeton and Braden. I can't wait. I really miss them. Its hard living in the same town ( kind of) and not seeing them very often. The same goes for Emily. We really do live in the same town and I am lucky if I see her once in six months. There is something strange going on there.

The things you could never say

Thursday, September 13, 2007

I got this from my friend on myspace. Its a list of 15 things about 15 people you wish you could say, but never will. The "mean" things are not always to one specific person, and I really don't mean any harm. It just feels good to finally express some things.
♥

1) List 15-ish things that you want to say to people, but never will.
2) Don't say who they are.
3) Never discuss it again.

1. You are my best friend, and the love of my life. I don't think I could survive this world without you. Through the good times and the bad, I never want to be away from you.

2. You are the cause of my most hurtful and traumatic experiences in my life. I had so much respect and love for you, but that all went away. I love you so much, and want so badly to trust you again, but you'll never tell the truth. Its true what they say, the truth shall set you free, and I think you would be so much happier if you did so.

3. You are a liar and a manipulator. You will never be capable of dealing with the truth, and living in the "real world". Things will never be the same between us, which is sad, but you have burned too many bridges.

4. You are one of the most amazing people I have ever met. You are my best friend, and many times, my rock. You never let people get the best of you, and I strive everyday to be like that. You will and have always been very successful. I love you a lot, and I am very glad you came into my life.

5. I never thought we would be in the relationship we are now. We never really got along, and now we are turning out to be really good friends. I love you so much, and only want the best for you. You are doing a lot to help a million other people out, while sacrificing yourself. You need to work out some issues, and once you do, you'll be so much happier.

6. I don't know what I would do without you. I am glad we have come to the place we are now. I love you with ever fiber of my being, and have nothing but respect and admiration for you. You have been through more crap than anyone else I know. And you still stand strong. I really hope you are happy.

7. You are really starting to make bad choices. I know we have been through a lot together and seperately, but you are still young enough to not go down these roads you are heading. You have a lot to look forward to, and I wish you would realize there is more beyond highschool.

8. You are one of the most coolest grandmas I know. I love you very much, and am grateful to have the relationship we do. It's a little akward sometimes, but thats okay.

9. You also are one of my best friends, and the reason why I am alive, literally. The strong bond we have is unbreakable. I wish you weren't such a push over, and I know its only because of your huge heart, but all the same- you let too many people walk all over you. I have come to realize and accept the choices you made in your life, and have nothing but love for you.

10. I know you are trying to come back into my life, and I would never oppose that. However, you stabbed me in the back too many times for things to ever be the same. Life moves on, and so have we.

11. I think about you a lot. You are responsible for some of the most amazing and horrible moments in my life. You have let yourself go, for whatever reason, and I wish you would turn your life around. I hope you find what you are looking for.

12. I wish we wouldnt have let those few monthes pass without talking. I know you only have my best interest at heart, and I am the same for you. You are a great friend and always have been. I know I can truely be myself around you, and I love you for that.

13. I miss you. My family misses you. I know you think you'll never find "true love", but you will. These girls are just too blind to see the amazing and giving person you are. Im glad we have grown close.

14. You were one of my best friends, but unfortunatly, time and distance has put a strain on that. I love you, and always have. You were a great listener, and a perpetual giver. I know you have finally found the right path in life, and I really really hope you are happy. Someday I really want us to be back to the way we were.

15.You are the light of my life. I love you so incrediably much, and am very glad you came into my life. Someday I hope to explain some things to you, but I will just have to wait until you get a little older.

A relaxing time.

Friday, September 7, 2007

Already I have fallen behind on this thing! The past week has been good, just completed another week of school. Only thirteen left to go! Last night after I got home from class, I was pretty relaxed. I really like not having school on Fridays because it allows me to either catch up on homework or housework. But last night I actually sat down and made some cards. I was having that itch to do something crafty, and the plan was to only make one card, but I ended up making like seven of them. Oh well, I love it, and its a stress reliever.

For the past two days, the dogs have been driving me crazy. I think its because I have been home alone with them and they are requiring a lot of my attention. It's times like this where I think I wouldn't be able to handle a child. But everyone tells me that kids are so much different than dogs, and that kids are actually easier than dogs, whatever that means.

I went to the fair on Wen. with my dad, mom, and sister. It was a lot of fun. I had told my dad on Tuesday that I was really disappointed because I was supposed to go to the fair on Thursday with my friend, but she had canceled on me. So then on Wen. he called and asked if I wanted to go. He was being really nice about it and it meant a lot to me. Even after all this time its easy to see that my dad just wants his kids to be happy, even if its something as stupid as going to the fair.

Another cup of coffee is calling my name, and unfortunately I have to go to work.

Until next time...

A day in the life of Thor & Doomsday

Thursday, August 30, 2007

12:00 pm- Mom comes home, and we patiently wait for our afternoon treat. We only get one if we were good, i.e; no pooping, no peeing, no tearing mom's underwear out of the drawer, no getting into the trash, no chewing on dad's guitar, no eating cardboard. Once she scans the area, we are in the clear.

12:10pm- After eating our treat, we are now really riled up. Its time to start playing. We make as much noise as possible, and run around the house wreaking havoc. Our "playing" is wrestling, chasing each other around, and chewing on each others cheeks/ears/arms/ or legs. The goal is to annoy mom as much as possible. Sometimes we mix it up and instead of tormenting each other, we seek out the cat and torment her. We find it very fun to annoy her. After all, its two against one.

12:11 pm- Our playing quickly turns into one of us whining or whimpering because the other one got too rough or was biting too hard. Mom yells, and we have to go to our separate corners. We sulk for a few minutes, and wait for mom to leave the room.

12:16 pm- We quickly get over our little fight, and its back to Play time.

12:39 PM- Our afternoon play session really tires us out. We can only go for about 20 minutes, because then its time for our 17Th nap of the day. We usually nap for about fifteen minutes, and then its time to start our cycle all over again.

3:36 PM- Dad comes home, and we pretend like we have been neglected all day. Sometimes we can score a treat from him too, but it depends on if mom tattles on us. Needless to say, our life is filled with playing and napping. It's rough.

Releif!

Wednesday, August 29, 2007

So today I went and met with my academic adviser, and I found out I only have THREE more academic semesters left, and then I am out of this joint!! I can not wait. We made a layout of the remaining classes I still have to take, and my schedule will be relatively easy. I will probably have to take a class this summer, which will cost me an arm & leg, but it will prevent me from having to take 18 credits next fall. I will also have to do my internship in the summer of '09, but I will technically have my degree & will be able to walk the line in the spring of '09. ( By the way, my internship will be 40 hrs/week, for 11 weeks, UNPAID!)
I am so excited. It's good to have that feeling that there is actually a light at the end of the very long and treacherous tunnel I have been traveling. I am so grateful for all of my friends and family who have supported & never gave up on me when it came to school. I realize I have made a lot of mistakes, and wasted a lot of money, but I finally know where I am going in life.
Most of all, I am really thankful for Bevan because he is the one who had to take the brunt of my emotional breakdowns, and tear filled nights when I was struggling with my classes, and deciding to drop out of engineering. He has always been supportive, and told me he would love me no matter what I did. He said he would even love me if I was a "broke Hippy with an English major."

First Day

Monday, August 27, 2007

Today was the first day of school. By now, its pretty much an everyday occurance for me. No big deal. However, it was Bevan's first day too. I was really excited for him. I felt like I was sending my baby (hypothetically speaking) off for his first day of school. As he was leaving, I bombarded him with " Don't forget your ID card on the table!", "Babe! Don't forget your lunch in the fridge.", "Call me when you get a break!". He probably couldn't wait to get out the door and away from me! But after he got out of school, he called me, and he sounded very excited. No matter how busy or broke we will be this year, hearing that excitement in his voice is worth every penny, and every minute.

My classes however were incredibly boring. My first professor sent someone in her place, and all we did was collect the handout and leave. An hour class turned into a five minute class. I then had to wait 8 hours, ( yes, I said EIGHT hours) for my next class. That class will be interesting. At first, I felt a little out of my element. I am so used to my engineering classes where everything is so precise, logical, and filled with rules and equations. But my HCA class was scatterbrained, and unorganized. My professor couldn't even figure out how to separate our class into groups since there were an odd number of students. I felt like pulling out my hair. So I finally raised my hand, and told her how to do it. In this class, there will be no midterm or finals. There is only weekly quizzes, and group presentations. Hopefully an easy "A".

Well, its time for bed so I can start my day all over again tomorrow.

Slowly learning.

I decided to create this blog so many of my distant family members could see what is going on in our crazy/hectic/busy lives. I promise to update this as much as I can, and to keep my potty mouth to an absolute minimum!! I'll try and add pictures as much as I can.
