Nothin Much...

Not much has happened since my last post. I took my 2nd biology test of the semester 2 weeks ago, and have yet to find out my score. I felt pretty good about it, but sometimes my gut feeling is wrong.. I'll find out on Wednesday what I got. On my first test I got one point shy of an A.. so frustrating! But overall I'm doing pretty good! Work is starting to pick up for the "Holiday Hiring Season". I'm pretty used to the work load though from being here for 3 consecutive "Holiday Seasons", so I'm not too worried about it.

Rich and I are planning on traveling to my big sister April's for Thanksgiving this year. I love spending time with my sisters! They are the best friends anyone could ask for! I used to wish I was an only child when I was little and they would pick on me.. but now that I'm older, and the "picking on" has subsided somewhat (lol), I'm very grateful that I have them in my life! Sisters Rock!! This picture is from our road trip that our dad took us on in August of 2007. I love you all!


Last but not least, Halloween is this Friday.. I have always loved Halloween.. I just feel like no one around here has that appreciation for it like I did as a kid. Growing up at our house, my mom always decorated for each holiday.. we carved pumpkins and roasted pumpkin seeds weeks in advance. We would put tea light candles in the pumkins everynight until the pumpkins started to rot. Well where I am today, I have yet to see one pumpkins with a candle in it on a porch, So disappointing. I just wanted to rant about that a little.. cause one day, when I have kids, I want them to have so much fun all month, instead of just getting a sugar high on Halloween Day.

Have a good week everyone!

Weekend of Fun

The weekend started off great! I purchased my new camera (which I'm still learning how to use) and then it was off to hang out with Shannon and Jared. We tried to go to Oktoberfest but the line was extremely long, and it was going to be way to expensive. So we opted for Tumbleweeds Saloon. We had so much more fun than if we would have stayed at Oktoberfest. Live music, good drinks, and great company. Here are the pictures...

Saturday was also an awesome day. I took Shannon and Eli to the Discovery Science Center. Eli is such a cutie, so fast paced and excited to do everything. After the museum, we went to Downtown Disney and shopped and walked around. I got Eli this little Mickey Mouse! He was so excited! Here are the pictures from the day! (There are 50 pictures)

I Have To Have It

So... I've been saving money every month all year long! And I must say... it feels really great to have a growing savings account! With that said, I've also always wanted a "Good" camera.. both of my sisters have awesome camera's, so why shouldn't I, right?! Well the time has come for me to treat myself to the camera that I want...

I'm totally going to Best Buy tonight to purchase it! I can't wait!

I'll hopefully be posting some really good pictures soon! :)

p.s. We are going to Oktoberfest in Huntington Beach tonight with Shannon and Jared (my sissy and her bf). It's gonna be so much fun! I'll be posting pics of the event later this weekend!

Have a good weekend to whoever reads my blog!

Happy Birthday To Me!

HELLO! I love reading peoples blogs, so I thought I'd start one too... Ya know, join in on the fun!

Well, I just turned 23 on Friday! I cant believe how old I am already! For my birthday, my wonderful boyfriend got me the most amazing necklace and earrings from Tiffany & Co!! I couldn't believe it! I almost Died when he pulled the Tiffany's box from his jacket pocket while we were at dinner! Here is a pic of me right after he gave them to me.. can you tell that I'm ecstatic??

The main star on the necklace has a diamond in the middle.. here is a close up..

We went to see Joe Rogan's Comedy Show at the Irvine Improv on the night of my birthday, we also got to meet him. Here are a few pictures of Rich and I with Joe Rogan . (He has a freaky beard right now)

To end the weekend off, we went to SeaWorld with my sister Shannon, her boyfriend Jared, and my sweetest nephew Eli. My sister has most of the pictures, but here are a couple that I took.
