Bittersweet...

I was up real late last night. My thoughts wouldn't let me rest.

The night before last, i finished Eclipse (the third twilight book). Yesterday i bought the fourth one, Breaking Dawn. Besides my excitement for the Twilight Saga to continue keeping me awake, i was missing Casey. I was excited to be going home soon. Then on the other hand... i was happy to be up here with my dad and Lucy and my nice big bed. I was sad and was wishing there would be a way to have everything in one convenient location. My dad, my cat, my boyfriend, my sister, my ward... my big bed :). But we cant have everything we want... at least not all at once... It's good to know that all the things up here will be here whenever i can come back and visit again.

So i don't know how i feel right now... very bittersweet. One thing is for sure, i can be happy to know that i am so blessed to have so many things in my life that i love so much... just a shame that i cant have all of them all the time.

Today is my last full day up here. I spent the day cleaning the house a bit for my dad... sort of a goodbye gift.

Tomorrow i leave here around noon-ish and once i get home i am going to be at the movie theatre from 8pm to Midnight waiting for the Twilight movie to start... and then who knows what after.

Friday i have a job interview. and that's it.

After Friday i have no idea what ill do... ill have read all of the Twilight books, seen the movie, done my big interview and then...... hopefully i get that job... because I'm all out of distractions. lol.

I will for sure be coming back up here to visit more often.

On Monday, I went to Sonoma State Univ. to visit my friend Tiff while i was close enough to drive to her dorms. I love the campus and her roommates. it was so much fun to be there. We saw the movie "The Secret Life of Bees" and then watched The Hills... (that episode felt like it was seriously five minutes long). Then i drove back here to my dads and passed out.

Even though i feel like Ive just sat around here most of the time... i feel like Ive had a very successful trip. Hope everyone else has enjoyed themselves lately!

Turkey Day is right around the corner. then CHRISTMAS! yippee!

anyways. gotta go finish packing and cleaning.

Until next time :)

Reunited and it feels so good!!

About an hour ago, i landed in Alamo, California.
By landed i mean, i got out of my brothers car after an almost painless 5 hour drive. I wish i had taken a plane... i really am craving a plane ride...

My dads not here... he went out on the town. (He wasn't expecting us til later I'm guessing)

But I'm all settled in and ready for my week-long San Fran Adventure.

Ive already "reconnected" with my cat, Lucy! i missed her SO much. I'm so happy to be here.
It is kinda bittersweet. I miss Santa Clarita. Its so weird to be away from there... considering I've never lived anywhere else. I miss Casey. But i think ill survive. I cant wait for my dad to get home... then i can go to bed.

Still no job. So I'm staying til Thursday...

Once i get back into Santa Clarita, I'm meeting up with my friend Christina for the Twilight midnight showing. I read quite a bit of the third book on the trip up. I started last night and am already half-way through it. I need to slow down on those books. They are too expensive for me to read them in less than a week!

Friday after i get back, i have a big interview. I'm really excited. The job is a huge step forward. I kinda think of myself as an underdog for this position as I'm sure there are plenty of twenty-something... maybe even thirty-something year old people who would love it. Just cross your fingers for me!

As soon as I'm out of that interview I'm taking the first chance i have to see Casey. Sunday marks our 1 year, 3 month anniversary (not that I'm counting). I just have a good memory. We aren't "celebrating" our anniversary. But as always i want to thank him for another great month as "Casey's Girlfriend". He's so great to me! He's been so patient with me through this whole "I miss my dad", or "I miss my cat" or "I hate not having a job" or anything else i can think of to complain about phase I've been going through. He always helps me change perspective and be happy for the things i do have... time to sleep in, get organized after the move, and the chance to visit my dad for a whole week!


My dad is still not home... and I've been here over an hour... so i think I'm going to call him incessantly! I'm such a daddy's girl and cant wait to give him a big hug. I don't want to think about it.... because i would never do it... I'm too much opposed to change... but i really like it up here... i like my dads neighborhood ... if it weren't so far away from SCV, i think id move here. Thank goodness for being unemployed for the time being so i can spend all the time i want here... til i get a job... which i really need.

anyways... I'm ranting. I'm excited for Christmas(still). Casey and i watched The Santa Clause.. total Christmas classic (okay so classic might not be the right word... but Tim Allen is amazing!). I hope i get to go Christmas shopping while I'm here. I hear San Fran has some neat stores. anyways. ill probably post sometime this week. I'll be alone on Monday... and Tuesday.. and weds... and Thursday. lol.

Until Next time! :)

I Missed Blogging.

Hey everyone.
So i feel like I've been slacking a lot on my blogging. So I'm going to try to recap what I've been up to lately.

Casey fixed my car shortly after the last blog was posted. So that's nice... i love having my own working car. I forgot how important my car really is to me. I'm also very lucky to have an amazing boyfriend to help me out when my car dies. He rocks!

I got a call recently for an interview today. I'm really excited about it. Cross your fingers for me. I'll have an update to how it went.

I'm thinking about going back to school in February. I want to take an Early Childhood Education class, Sign language class, and some kind of Physical Class like dance or gym. We'll see if that desire transpires into a reality for me.

OH! so i voted for the first time on Tuesday. It was a hard pill for me to swallow when Obama won, but hopefully he wont irreparably damage the country. hopefully it'll be over in four years. But prop 8 passed so that made me happy. However, what doesn't make me happy is seeing the people picketing outside the LA Temple and holding signs that mention Mormon's. Its so hurtful. Hopefully this doesn't last much longer.

Last night Casey had the great idea of going to Wal Mart to help me with my lack of sleep. (I've been having trouble sleeping for the past few weeks) so we went to Wal Mart and got some essentials. I got some makeup supplies i was out of, but most importantly i got an eye mask and earplugs. I woke up feeling so good. i actually slept without waking up every three hours.

I'm trying to plan a trip to visit my dad in San Fran. I miss him SO much, and i miss my kitty.

I have a lot going on but a lot of it is up in the air.

But what is for sure is that CHRISTMAS IS ALMOST HERE! i saw some commercials that got me excited. I'm ready to go shopping, decorate and make my lists. I guess i really need to get a job asap so i can indulge my Christmas desires. I LOVE Christmas. I live for Christmas.

i hope everyone is as excited for Christmas as i am! I have a lot to be excited about. Hopefully ill be able to post updates as my life transpires!

:) it felt so good to blog again even tho its kinda scatter-brained...
See ya next time! :)
