Holidays

It has been quite the holiday. I have been so exhausted, but I got up the effort to write another blog post :P

This week has been busy! Mike and I went to the Thoms' Christmas party and had a blast. The food was plentiful and the company was well..unique. I came out of it with a HUGE bucket of candy leftover from someones Halloween stash. Mike also came out with candy haha. It was really a lot of fun, and it was great to see everyone again.

Sunday Mike and I joined my cousins Ja and Dan and their kids and my aunt and uncle to a beautiful Christmas show. We went last year but I have to say they did a splendid job again this year. The music was amazing and the acts were fabulous. Ja is probably already getting next years tickets :P

Monday I went out shopping at the mall for presents. It was incredibly busy, I couldn't believe it. Even Teavana which is usually empty had TONS of people crowded in the little store.

Tuesday was a VERY relaxing day. I woke up to the wonderful smell of Mike cooking breakfast. He made sausage and eggs. It was great, and he even did the dishes afterward. Then we sat and watched a few movies and just rested. Later we drove to Franco's Spa and got the best 70 minute hot stone messages ever!! We stopped and went to Panera for dinner and enjoyed the rest of our relaxing day. That night in Second Life we put on a Christmas show and I sang The Holly and The Ivy which was truly scary.

Wednesday I paid a visit to the kitties at the humane society. The building is finally finished and it looks amazing! It's huge and it's welcoming and feels very comfortable. There were tons of people at the door at noon wanting to get in. I was looking at the list and as you'd think a lot of animals were adopted out. Who knows how many will be coming back in a few weeks :(

Thursday night I slept over at my aunt Dar's house and we made cookies and pies for the next day. It was a bit icy getting there though. Christmas was so much fun. I was woken up bright and early to head over to breakfast at Dawn's house. When we got there the kids had already opened all their gifts and were wide awake. We all ate a huge breakfast and opened the rest of the presents we brought over. Mike and I got a new Toy Story Mania game for the Wii. I got some really nice necklaces, tea, and gift cards. Once we got back from breakfast Mike and I were put to work setting up for dinner that evening. It was exhausting but we had so much fun visiting with everyone.

Today Mike and I are finishing up watching holiday movies and trudging around. Tonight we are going to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra at the Palace of Auburn Hills. I'm so excited to see them! I'll be sure to post picture of that up next week!

Only two more weeks of no school. Ugh!!

A very busy holiday

I have been extremely busy, I swear I put my shirt on backwards a few times. School finals are finally over and I'm on my first break day!!

What I have been up too:

- Just got back from Disney

We had a fabulous time! It did rain one day we were there, but other than that we had great weather. We rode just about everything we wanted too. Our birthdays were awesome. Mike got his iphone and I got some wonderful flowers with a great big Tink on top, and a wonderful Better Homes cookbook all going to Breast cancer awareness. His mom Patricia bought me the most beautiful purple bracelet with little charms hanging around it. She also sent me a little breast cancer pin with an angel on it. It was an amazing day full of snow! I know! We went to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and they made it snow in Disney!! We took a ton of pictures that can be seen on Mike's facebook. For some reason my facebook doesn't like uploading pictures.

- Just finished A Christmas Carol

It was a blast!! I had so much fun working on another play with Mrs. Groeb. She is an amazing director and everyone was so wonderful to work with. Thanks to everyone that came to see it. We will be selling dvds for $10 soon. *winks* But I will be getting one so if you want to borrow it, just ask. Don't be alarmed if you see my hair has grown about a foot.

- Finished Fall semester

It was a heck of a semester. I'm glad to have finished and done well. My classes were a lot of work but I really learned quite a bit from them. I'll be back to school on Jan 11th. So I get a nice big break for a while!

- Involved in another play

I'm assistant directing the High School's musical. They are preforming Once Upon A Mattress which is a comedy based on The Princess and The Pea. I went to auditions and callbacks. They are some amazing people in the play this year. We have total of 30 girls and 20 BOYS! Can you believe 20 boys! It's wonderful. I can't wait to start working on it.

I've got a lot of upcoming events. I'll be spending Christmas with Mike,  my aunt Dar, and my cousins Dawn and Gary and their kids. I think it will be a blast. I put up Christmas decorations with Mike this week. Everything looks really pretty. I'll be having a HUGE  sleepover with all of my friends in January for a belated Christmas party.

I just got an Iphone and my number is 734-998-1068. It's the same as my landline number was. I'm canceling both my other cell phone (734-678-5851) and my landlines. It's just so much money when I barely use the landline and I have unlimited on my cell phone when I only use it a fraction of the time. So I just went to 700 minutes with unlimited nights and weekends. I don't have a plan for text messages so DO NOT send me a text to that number. I really don't want to get charged 30 cents per each text. If you want to text me on my cell please send it to 606-110-08. I'm using textplus which is a app on my cellphone which will send me texts messages from you guys to me for free. I can also send you texts from that number to you guys for free (well free for me at least). So please if you want to send me a text send it to 606-110-08 , it's free for me!!!! Thanks guys!!

Bye Bye!!!

Alright, well it's time Mike and I head off to Disney World! We are going for our birthdays and thanksgiving! We'll be back with tons and tons of pictures on Monday December 1st. I know I can't believe it's almost December! We'll also be another year older. Our flight is very early tomorrow, but we get to spend the whole day there for Mike's birthday!

 

Also my home phone is broken. I'll worry about it when I get back, for now just call my cell phone. I'm bring it with me to Disney, but it's vacation, so who knows if I'll pick up :P

Have a happy thanksgiving! Gobble Gobble

 

After a long long week

It has been a exhasting few weeks. I recently got back from Maryland with Alex and my Aunt Dawn. We had a complete blast. The ride down was extremely tiring but atleast I had ask for company. It was a beautiful ride down there, I had never traveled through Pennsylvania and Maryland before. We got there and got our boogie on at the Good Faerie's Ball. All of us got dressed up and danced until our feet ached. The next day we shopped and played some fun games. Alex and I got to play "werewolf" and survived!! That night be again got out boogie on at the Bad Faerie's Ball. The costumes were outstanding, I couldn't believe the creativity people have! The ride back has tiring and very sad to drop off Alex and have to go back home.

I've uploaded picture on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2023888&id=1263360719&l=c434ea1d8d

After a week of midterms it was nice to get back to classes without the worry. I have two giant term papers to write and it's stressing me out. I keep meaning to sit down and finish them up, but there always seems to be some crazyness keeping me from doing that. I also got to sign up for new classes on Wednesday. My brand new schedule is:

Monday: English 226 & Math 169

Tuesday: Bio 103

Wednesday: English 226 & Math 169

Thursday: Bio 103 & Bio lab

Saturday: Winter Field Study

Yes I have a class on saturday! It's crazy. But atleast it will be an amazing class. Today I went out and went to the craft show in Saline. I bought a few little things but also brought home a "new" member of the family. I haven't named her yet, but she was to cute to ignore. *giggles*

I'm also super excited for my upcoming trip to Disney world with Mike. It's going to be the best trip EVER!! That's all for now!

 

Update it's been a while...

Sorry I haven't been updating lately! I've been SUPER busy with homework, trips, play practice, planning trips, speeches, school, and a lot more!! I will be updating by the end of the week, hopefully! I will be adding pictures! YAY!!!

Week #2

My week has been super busy. Monday consisted of lots and lots of homework. I had papers after papers to write for English and science. I stayed at WCC until 7pm, I mean really, isn't that a bit much? Tuesday was quite a day as well. We started a new section in Biology. We are now covering Evolution and Creation. Extremely interesting lecture! I love my professor he makes taking notes actually exciting. I left and went to Ele's Place. I was asked to something amazing! I am going to be speaking at the Ele's Place Fundraiser on Nov 11th. I have to provide a three minutes speech and what Ele's place has done for me. I'm really excited to have the honor of doing this in front of over 400 people!

Wednesday was very uneventful and stupid. My English professor assigned my class to do an internet scavenger hunt. It had some of the dumbest and most random questions ever. And yes, it HAD to be printed on canary yellow paper, I mean where do you find that kind of stuff? But Thursday was amazing. I went to classes and survived a really boring day.  Then got to have dinner with Nikhila! We had the best time, I wish I could have had more time to chill. We'll have to do it again ;) Then I was told we had play rehearsal so I rushed over to the middle school and no one was there! I asked the janitor if class had been canceled, that it was. (There was a message on my phone at home that rehearsal had been canceled.) So instead I went and got Dairy Queen.

Friday was full of busy errands. I paid a huge stack of bills and sent them all out, yay!! I also finally organized my file box, now it's all clean and I can find everything! I went grocery shopping only to forget my grocery list. Oh well. I guessed on all of the stuff I needed and came home with only half of my list marked off.

Saturday was awesome! I did have to get up at an ungodly hour though, but it was worth it. I walked in the Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. It was truly moving. So many people and so much love. I filled out a little badge for my mom and dad that said "I am walking in honor of..." The scenery was beautiful, I can't wait until Relay for Life. I am planning to be on the committee this year!

Well that's another small adventure for this week!

Stand Up To Cancer

I've added it to my sidebar. Stand Up To Cancer is one of my favorite sponsors for cancer research. Just about every cent goes to find cures for cancer. It's absolutely free, and doing it your raising money! If you want to click around and help raise money you are more than welcome to do so! I am also going to post my Breast cancer awareness link up here as well. You can help my team raise money until December 1st!

Weekend Numero Uno

Saturday was a blast of fun. I drove to Howell to visit my family that came down from Arizona. There were tons of people and food! I finally got to catch up with people I haven't seen in a very, very long time. Afterward I drove straight to Katie's house and celebrated Alex's 18th Birthday. What a blast! We ate tons of pizza, grapes, and oreo pie. Yumm! It was an awesome night full of interesting conversations and way to much laughing.

Sunday I spent the day starting this blog of course. I finally decided to get out of the house and go get a few pumpkins. After running out in the freezing cold I decided why not decorate the whole yard today? So I found all of the old decor that was hiding in the back of my garage. It was so perfectly covered in cobwebs as if it had been waiting to be put out for some time. After dragging out the ghost, witch, and vampire stockings and hammering their posts into the ground I got out my big web. My mom and I were so excited when we found this big black web a few years ago. It's just black yarn but it stretches out and looks really neat! Mike finally arrived and he used his powers of being tall and helped me put up the web. Then we put momma and baby spiders out as well. It was a ton of fun decorating and my mom would be proud! I'll post pictures later this week!

The First Post

So I always wanted a blog, I just never thought I had anything to offer to the blogging world. At first I thought well maybe I can bore people to death about my life, than started to feel a little bad so I dropped that idea. Then I pondered blogging about cooking, but since I only use recipes more than make anything myself, I gave that up too. It was a never ending cycle of figuring out what was so interesting about me. Well, I finally came back to option number one; boring you all to death. I thought it would work out really well so we'll just have to find out. So to start of boring you guys I'll give you the big picture of my life as a not so average teenager.

So it basically all started about ten months ago when my mother passed away from cancer only  year after my dad passed away from the same thing. It finally dawned on me that I actually have to take care of myself, I couldn't be a baby. So I applied to a crap load of jobs and nothing came up, still nothing. I graduated from high school and celebrated being an oh so wonderful college student. That summer all my friends waved goodbye leaving me to go to MSU and U of M. I toughened up and went off on my way to community college. So I decided to major in Biology and than transfer up to MSU in another year, go Green! I am now a full-time student balancing: classes, homework, bills, animals, friends, boyfriend, family, health, my house, finding a job, shopping, traveling, and so much more.
