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! :)

Long Time No Blog

Here are the quick points

-Dad Moved to San Fransisco

That's just about it. but I've been keeping really busy lately. i don't have a lot of time on the computer here so ill try to be on again soon for a more detailed update on life. I have no idea what I'm doing for Halloween or anything. I'm looking for super cheap costume ideas. anyone have any??

1. I change my clothes multiple times before going to sleep.

2. I can't leave a restaurant with a messy table i always "pre bus" the table before we leave to make the job easier for the person who cleans it.

3. I hate when the pillow gets warm. I will flip my pillow over multiple times before actually going to sleep. I just love the feel of cool sheets or the cold side of the pillow. :)

4. I have difficulty not answering the phone when it rings... im getting better at this though.

5. I have difficulty drinking plain water. I can drink water with lemon (usually i ask for extra lemons when i go out to dinner). But if all i have is plain water, ill usually end up having a sip of casey's drink or find something else to drink because i dont like plain water. Also, if theres ice in a cup, i have a hard time drinking without a straw because the ice gets in the way.

6. i dont know....um. i tend to go to the same restaraunts and order the exact same things and rarely branch out once i find one thing i really like on the menue. i dont know if thats a quirk... but i cant really think of anything else. im sure other people can list of crazy weird quirks of mine and ur welcome to tell me about them in a comment on my blog. hahaha

now its your turn!

The 6 people I tag are…Garrett, Aly, Laurel, Melissa, Stephanie, and... whoever else lol.

Oh My Blog!

Hey guys! its been forever since I've blogged. I feel like I've been gone forever. I think i really need to start working. i lose track of days when i don't work. Today I'm being really productive and am finally getting into life as usual. Let's recap what I've been up to since my last post.

[picture from event right before i left for Lake Mead]

On Sept 24, I went to Disneyland with my lovely friend Elizabeth who lives wayy too far away. Disneyland was like a halfway point for us. It was so nice to be able to be at a place i love with a girl i love! We had so much fun!

On Sept 26, i went to Lake Mead with Casey and his family. It was a blast. I was able to wake board (not really stay up though). Casey (even though he had just gotten his wisdom teeth out) was able to wake board, wake surf, sea doo and play the "bad adult games" and win $0.04! HOORAY! I feel like i ate a ton of food while i was there. The hotel we were at had a pretty decent buffet for the price. One night we went to the Bellagio Buffet and it was SO good. I'm not good at the whole buffet thing though. I can never eat enough! hahah. The last night we were there, Casey and i were able to drive over the hoover dam. It was so neat. The experience proved how much i am my fathers daughter. For those of you who don't know, my dad used to own a construction company. I grew up in his office and on his job sites. I loved it. He taught me a lot about construction and have always been interested in seeing construction progress. Well at the hoover dam, they are building a new bridge to bypass the dam for safety issues I'm guessing... anyways it was so neat to watch them do it that Casey had to remind me that we were going over the Hoover Dam. It was a really good trip and i had a blast.

[picture of me Wake Boarding in Lake Powell]

While i was gone, my dad accepted a job in San Francisco and will be moving there soon. Pretty exciting. Just puts me in a crunch to find a job. I've never not lived with my dad. oy, I'm kinda nervous.

[daddy and me showing our true colors at the zoo]

The day after i got back from Mead, my mom took my sister, brother and myself to see Wicked for my brother's birthday and my 18th Bday/Graduation present i was supposed to get over a year ago. it was worth the wait. i love that show. it's even better the second time.
(hopefully pictures to come soon)

Yesterday was the Book Club meeting. It was fun. After the book club meeting I went to the Wing Stop "soft opening" it was really nice to see all the hard work Casey and his brothers put into it. I'm so proud of Casey and how hard he works!

Today I'm doing laundry and looking for jobs and stuff. I need to sell my Calendars too for my fundraiser. Let me know if you're interested in one. Technically it's called sponsoring me and in return you get a calendar. It's twenty dollars and going to be well worth it. They will be distributed in December but i have to pre-sale most of them. Let me know!

Tomorrow is Casey's birthday. Last year for his birthday i took him to Six Flags and we went on Dive devil. This year we're using our passes to go to Universal Studios and I'm going to cook him dinner. Pretty much the same idea as last year but at a different theme park.

I don't know what else is new to update on here.... hmmm... i guess that's all...

See ya next time :)
