The more I think about it

The more I truly, deeply believe everything happens for a reason.

More weddings

I just found out one of my best friends from when I lived in colorado (7 years ago...) is getting married! Holy cow! She was so little last time I saw her, we all were, and now she's engaged to be married this January.
Life is wild.
And it moves so fast.
It's a bit frightening honestly.

I know I know

I never update anymore, but I can't help it! School has started back up (well... almost a month ago now...) and I am just so busy! I'm working at Ruby Tuesday and juggling 16 credits, not to mention my new bills that seem to just keep coming and a rather rambunctious boyfriend.

Which reminds me, Mike and Mariah's wedding was last weekend! It was absolutely wonderful, I wish I could just blog my heart out about that one. It was a beautiful wedding, the people were just too kind and Anthony gave an amazing best man speech. We danced and drank and were very merry all day and into the wee morning hours.
Mike and Mariah left on their Sandals honeymoon to somewhere in the Caribbean on Monday this week. Lucky ducks.

Classes are going well, or as well as can they can be. It's my second year here and it's still hella hard! You'd think things would get easier.

Working at Ruby's is okay but not by any means great. I make a decent amount of money and the people I meet are fantastic. It's the people I work with that are not-so-stellar. I mean, I don't care that they don't talk to me or put in any effort to be friendly. That doesn't bother me, hello I have moved 3489173 times and I'm used to it. It's when they're just rude I can't stand. Plus my managers don't listen... I'm still being over scheduled! I hate being "that girl" that's constantly complaining to the managers, but I can't work my entire weekend and twice that week and still have time for my school work! Here we go again... I wish there was an olive garden near by....

Plus, I forked over my licence to the state 2 weeks ago on Thursday. I should be getting it back this Friday, but I haven't received any notification that they've even received it. I'm getting rather annoyed.
Well I'm going home for nicole's 18th birthday (!!!) next weekend, so I'm going to have to take a trip into the DMV and have a little chit-chat with whoever will listen about my license. Bah.

What else... Well the apartment is nice. I had my landlord put new floors in our kitchen and bathroom (because the other ones would come up when you stepped on them... gross) and that looks really nice.

Bamboo is doing terrific! I love my little hamham. We've bonded and I am now a good mommy again. :D

Ant and I are fantastic. We've made plans for our 1 year in Hershey at the Hershey Lodge. It's going to be an adorable little weekend. December 4th!!!

I don't know if there's much else. I have to dash and meet Anth after is class now. We walk back to the apartment together MWF. Plus he's been driving me to work, which he'll have to do at 4:45 today... Plus I kinda sorta skipped out on my Anthropology class today, which is why i even have the time to write this! Slacker!

Okay, well toodles!

Rut

I have finally gotten my summer sickness, and let me tell you it is absolutely no fun. I'm hiding out in Anth's apartment because mine is far too hot. He's out doing God knows what and I am here...

I feel like my life is slipping in to some sort of monotony. I don't have a whole lot to do besides work and manage relationships.
I need school to start back up. I need more to do. I need to be stressed and busy and neurotic. Ruby Tuesday and boyfriend antics just aren't cutting it for me.

Little girl, big farm

I'm in upstate New York at the grandparent's house for the weekend. Nicole gets to have her graduation party with the entire family. Oh god, the things I don't feel like dealing with. I miss everyone and it's really great to be here, but it's just so much and I'm so tired.
I miss my Anthony...

Bamboo and Apartment Photoshoot!

New apartment and new friend!

This last week has been a blur!!! I apologize for not writing, not like anyone reads this but it's the principle. Anywho, I moved into the apartment on Sunday!!! YAY APARTMENT! It's fantastic, everything looks like a log cabbin right now, I LOVE IT!!! It took me forever to get unpacked and I'm still not really done. There are still some boxes and I need to keep cleaning. It's just so DRAINING doing all this cleaning and unpacking and such. I take many-a-needed break.
I would post pictures (that i have already took) but my internet connection is oh-so-slow because i'm stealing anth's internet.... :(

WELL i've also found a new friend. Her name is bamboo and she's a panda bear hamster! My mother gave me a hermit crab cage she was given from somewhere or another. Anth and i went to the pet store (petco - give credit where credit is due) and i looked at the hermit crabs, with every intention of buying one. The problem was i just couldn't get into it. They're ugly... and expensive. The research i did showed they are expensive, ugly and rather mean little crustacians. I can't get into it no matter how hard i try.
Then i looked at the hamsters. Then I saw bamboo. Then I fell in love. She is the most adorable little ham ever. She looks just like a mini panda!!! We did a photo shoot, but I don't think blogger is going to let me upload that either. damn internet connection.

I got her yesterday and she has already peed on me twice, once in the store and again on my pillow :(((
She's very mellow but she's also very shy. She doesn't do a whole lot and she won't accept food from me... I suppose I am rushing things a bit, but i didn't know any better. I did my research today and now i know what her deal is. I have to leave her alone for a little bit. :\

She's just so darn cute I want to cuddle her!!!
