AHHH!!!! :D

So pretty sure the last month has flown by SO fast. I've been working lots, went and came back from Detroit, chillin out with some peeps, and gettin stuff wrapped up for leavin...on Saturday!
I'm SO excited by the way!
Saturday morning my dad and I are leaving good ol brainerd, Mn at 5 am. Hopefully I'll sleep until we're out of minnesota and then take over some driving. We've got to make it to denver by that night. Which is totally doable. It's only like a 15 or 16 hour drive. So we'll get to the hotel at a somewhat decent time and probably watch a movie or something. a Little fatherly daughter bonding time. haha. how cute.
Then sunday morning I'll be leaving the hotel in Denver at like 8:30 to go to Jess's house in montrose!! It's like 4 1/2 to 5 hour drive. I think I can handle that drive by myself ha but through the mountains when I've never driven in Colorado before? Be praying for me! ha. o well., not too worried! So then I get to see Jess that day!! WOO!! I'm SO excited:D
Spending the week that week at the Pugh residence:) I'm SO excited. Then we're on our way to Cali on Friday the 22nd. Not to school till Saturday though and movin in everything then!
wow I am SO pumped! ha.

Anyway..gotta get through this week first. Starting with golfing with my dad today:)
It will be a really full week tho between visiting my grandparents, going out to coffee with at least 3 different people, a movie night, packing, and hanging out with my parents! All sweet stuff :D. o, and chels's post reminded me I have to register for voting too :s

Work..or no work I guess :s

I can't believe I leave 5 weeks from TODAY. SO pumped I can't even stand it :) but I know I have a lot to do before that day so I better get my butt in gear. ha.

So I work for my dad laying carpet as you know...but the problem with that is we can't work if we don't have any! this past week we only had 3 days of work and then this next week we got nothin so far! Man, it sucks cuz I'm not making as much money this summer as I thought I would be. I'm getting a few photography jobs here and there to keep me busy tho I guess. I took a family of 19's pics last tuesday and then a grad shoot today. That will make up for the lack of money from laying carpet for this week anyway.

I leave next friday for detroit. I'm pumped:) but I have to get all of my online homework completed before then because the classes end the next tuesday. It will such a relief to be done with all of that! talk about really being able to enjoy summer. not that I haven't, but I'll be able to not have to worry about it anyway. I'm glad I took both classes tho. Especially if i'm trying to graduate a year early...!!

But who knows about that. God is the one who does and until he tells me otherwise that's what I'm gonna stick with I guess.

Have I mentioned I'm ready to be back at school yet?

Fender Bender

I got my credit card in the mail today! it's bomb:) ha now I'm gonna go buy a new camera. I was gonna wait till I finished doing all my photo appointments for the summer...but why wait till then? right? I'm excited cuz then I can use it this weekend for the 4th! WOO!!

My brother and my sister come home wednesday! It's gonna be such a great weekend. I have to work all day wednesday and then in the morning on thursday too but then nothin but hanging out with the fam! Friday we're gonna spend the day on the lake. I can't WAIT! I got a new swim suite just for the occasion :) Well, actually I just got a top..but that's the hardest part to find I figured so I guess I'll hopefully find a bottom before then. otherwise it'll be me out there tubing with my basketball shorts. Weird, right? Ha, NOT. I'm sure you all wouldn't have guessed any different.

Only three weeks left of classes. SO ready to be done with them. Then I get my REAL summer. Supposedly anyway :p

I leave for Detroit in less than 3 weeks. Man I hope it's a good trip. What am I saying..it's gonna be a GREAT trip. God is amazing and I know he can do anything. It will be way weird being a leader..but I'm pumped anyway. I'm so glad I'm not 25...because then I'd have to drive one of the 15 passenger vans full of students. NOT ok with me! So I'll just get automatic shotgun every time which is SAWEET considering me and my lovely car sickness issue. Bleh.

Ok, but speaking of driving.. I was in a fender bender last week in my dads work van. It's one of those big white extended ones that cool carpet people drive around. Anyway, it was my fault but no worries, no one was hurt and like zero damage. Although the ladies insurance agency keeps calling me to get a statement about the accident. Don't worry, I call them back and leave a message. but they keep calling me on my house phone when in my message i said to call my cell. O well. Not looking forward to talking to them but I guess it's what I get. Gotta do what you gotta do.

homework and credit cards

WHOA! I know..2 days in a row! Ha crazy stuff!
Well, just finished the majority of my homework..and it actually didn't take me all day! which is sweet. I just have a little bit left. I can't believe that I'm already half way done with my summer classes. which means we're more than 4 weeks into summer! SO weird.

So I played tennis and mowed the lawn today just like I thought I would.

But something exciting I did was apply for a credit card! I already have one but the credit limit is so limited that I can't start a good credit score with it at all. So I'm excited to get the new one. Not that I'm gonna go crazy spending on it. but I got to pic out the design on it and it should be sweet! Still waitin to hear back from them whether I'm approved or not so we'll see I guess. It'll be good tho.

Anybody watch the Mole? I got addicted the first week. I was addicted like the first season ever and then they took it off the air for like 3 years and now it's back! That's what I do on monday nights...so you can guess what I'll be doin in 2 hours. I haven't figured out who the mole is yet. The only two who seemed suspicious were kicked off last week..so screw that idea. O well, I'm sure none of you guys even watch it so I'm probably talking with myself on this one.

Workin in Albertville tomorrow. For those of you who don't know where that is it is like an hour and 45 minutes away. It's probably the best shopping if you don't want to drive to the mall of America because it has a huge outlet mall. Seriously that's like all that is in the town. An outlet mall, a caribou coffee and a culvers. Then it's like corn fields. But either way I'm doing a tile job there tomorrow and wednesday..might even be spending the night there who knows.

Back to finishing up homework...

Let's try this again

So pretty sure I haven't written on here in..a year? I didn't even check. O well, I know it's been a LONG time. but a few of my friends have started theirs up and since we're not together over the summer, :( , I decided to join in on the fun.

So right now I should be working on homework. Seriously, work and homework are ruling my life a lot of the time right now. It sucks big time. But I still have my chance of fun here and there which is good. Tomorrow I've got the day off of work to write a paper for one of my online classes. It's gonna be an intense paper I think..which SUCKS. but all day to write it will be good. I'm playin tennis in the morning and mowing the lawn somewhere in there too ha.

My job for the summer is laying carpet with my dad. It sucks at times because I get exhausted, but I can't complain one bit. It's great pay, fun people to work with, I can get a day off whenever I need one, and I get to spend the summer with my dad. That's been sweet. My dad and I have never really been the closest. It's not like we've had a bad relationship or anything but this summer has been so fun so far hanging out with him. I'm SO thankful for the time that I'm getting with him. Sweet stuff:)

We went golfing today. I honestly haven't been golfing in probably 3 years? something like that. And it was suprisingly better than I thought it would be! we went to the driving range on friday to warm up and get ready and that was a BAD day. haha. but ya. my best hole of the day was the 8th..which was actually the third hole we played..long story ha. But Anyway we're coming up to the tee and my dad was like, I have NEVER parred this hole. it was a par 4 by the way. And guess what?! I got it in 4! haha. pretty sure the rest of the day wasn't the hottest but way better than I expected. So yah, that's gonna be like our weekly ritual if we don't have anything else going on. I'm pumped:) for the 8 weeks we have left anyway. Summer is a third over! AH! But that makes me excited too cuz I can't WAIT to go back to school! AHHH!!

Anyway..I AM going to do homework now.

Peace out.

Gettin the ball rolling again

For some odd reason I have the desire to start this blog again. I have no idea why. Maybe because I've been checking my brothers lately and have been inspired? Either way, I'm starting it up again. We'll see how long this will continue but today is a new day, so I'll at least give it a shot. The weather in sunny california is not so sunny today and not gonna lie, I love it. Yesterday it was cloudy too. I think I'm going to start getting used to this which will set me up for disappointment in the long run. Just as I wrote that, the sun broke through the clouds. O well, still jeans and sweatshirt weather. My favorite. I'm not complaining.

So I feel like I can talk about this one here since no one will be reading this blog until at least I start telling people it's up again. But I get to go home tonight! And I'm surprising EVERYONE! well, pretty much everyone. But still. I'm SO incredibly excited. We'll see how it goes waking up my parents at 3 o clock in the morning to get into my house. But I'm still looking forward to it and the week ahead. Tomorrow night there's a football game which I've been waiting all fall. Then Thursday is the girls championship soccer game which I can't WAIT to go to . Wow it's gonna be a sweet time at home. It's weird that I've already been gone for liek 2 months. Doesn't feel like it at all. Time has flown.

Well, I'm gonna go check my mail. I don't want to be too ambitious with this my first day back writing.

Slacker

I guess I've been slacking with this whole Blog thing. I haven't written in like 14 days or something like..2 weeks I guess. I haven't really had a chance to sit down during my open hour lately and just chill so I decided that this would be a good day to do just that.

Our last regular season basketball game in tomorrow night. I'm not gonna lie..usually at this point in the season I'm ready for it to be done. But this year is different for some reason. I'm going to be really sad when it's done and I'm liking more this year than any year yet. Which is a great thing for a senior year. Senior night was on tuesday and it was great. Probably the most fun I've had at a game in a long time. We broke the 80 pts in a game mark..that was one of our goals. So that was good. Tomorrow is parents night as well so we will probably be pretty pumped to win that one. Our first play off game is next Tuesday and hopefully it will be at home..the first time our girls team has had a home play off game in a long time. Should be fun.

My brother comes home soon. I dno't know the exact date..and I don't even know how much i'll get to see him..but I'm still excited. He's bringing a bunch of his friends up to stay at my aunt and uncles cabin for a week or something. Should be a good time for them and hopefully I'll be able to hang out with them some as well...if he lets me that is.

I leave for California in 22 days and counting...I honestly don't think time could go by fast enough...but I also realize that there is a lot of stuff going on between now and then that will make the time go by as fast as possible. Man, I can't wait. And a perk of finally going soemwhere warm over spring break..is I'll come back tan. But I guarentee I won't stick outin our school when we come back the next week..since half the school will be just as tan as me...
