I still owe $41.99 to my library since 2004! I really think it’s time to just pay this back and finally be free of library fines.

I am just about to finish yp my first term in college – getting closer everyday : )

“Education is something that people want LESS of but will pay more than anything for” My Dad – IT Tech & Computer Newtworking Professor

I wear less and less each day – kinda like it : )

I still haven’t gotten around to do this yet!

Maybe when it stops snowing ; )

Ummm… my Dad ended up buying me an $8,400 soccer mom car – he was sick of carting me around. But now I have to pay him back every penny before it is actually mine as well as keep up with matinence, gas, and insurance. But for now I can use it for work and school – only.

I don’t know how I feel about this. I didn’t get a say in the cost or the choice of car. I am grateful to KINDA have a car and the transportation – but I wanted to get my own! Ugggh Dads… but I guess when I pay it off it’s finally mine!

Estimated the time of paying him back? About 16 months.

I can’t wait to go to heaven. My faith for the past few years has had it’s fair share of fading away and not remaining prominent in my life. I have learned even when I thought He was failing me, it was for my own good. Lessons learned. I took me a long time to accept that SHIT happens and it happens for a reason, ya know?

It was hard to accept, but He does have a plan for me and everything does/will fall into place. Keep your faith as stong as __ (fill in the blank)

*Remember that God is Always There..
Even in the driest times, when you just don’t feel God’s presence, you need to remember that God is always there. He does not forget you. True faith is developed even when you don’t feel God. *

Most of the time people complain – ugggh I don’t want to go into work… – yah I do it too. But I have come to learn I actually LOVE my job. I am a college student and working at a pet store and it really pays off to be nice to customers and the people you work with.

Just showing a smile and asking someone how their day was – they are patient and it puts them in a better mood – making my job a whole lot easier (if anyone knows about working in retail, it’s a pain in the arse sometimes!) And I leave at the end of the night happier than I was coming in. I love my job – just SMILE!

WORTH DOING

... now if I could only smile that way at home and every where else in my life – working on it.

my dad – strongest person I know. He is a wonderful teacher and as an answer for everything. I may not like everything he has to say but I admire his advice and words of wisdom.

my mom – not matter what is going on in her life, she is always finds the upside. Her faith is so strong and she never gives up on what she believes in. Her glass is always half full.

my best friend april – I admire her courage. She is moving out to Las Vegas to pursue her professional dancing career (not that kind of dancing!). She doesn’t have a plan – but will imporvise, and I love that about her. She doesn’t care what other people think of her – she does her own thing and remains an individual. I am going to miss her.

Today I got a checking account – and put in about $300 for the car fund

11) getting things done on time – not procrastinating : )
12) knowing that I am doing OKAY – and it could be worse
13) balancing school, work, and my messy life
14) adopting a Hospital Corpsman from the Navy and sending them care packages while they are away from home and overseas
15) green tea in the morning – makes my day go smoother
16) getting over a cold – knowing I am healthy
17) christian music – jeremy camp, joy williams, relient k
18) studying and doing GREAT on my Medical Terminology test A+
19) talking to my best friends over the phone – even though we may be 8 states away, we still have the best conversations and still laugh until we cry
20) Not worrying for once -

Natural strawberry blonde hair went to blue/black – which faded into green! Then platinum blonde, gray, brown, purple, FIREY ORANGE – o man. My hair has been through a lot – mostly accidnets because my friends and I didn’t know what we were doing besides running a salon every weekend in the bathroom – definately worth the laughs and memories but NOT worth the damage to your hair – so be carefuland don’t cry when you turn out like a smurf!

The memories made with your best friends will never fade away, neither shall the relationship! Keep them close at heart.

Together forever, never apart. Maybe in distance, but never in heart.

“find a penny. pick it up. all day long you’ll have good luck.”

time to pass it on.

Living with my parents… my dad made me make my bed every morning. I use to hate it, but it always looks nice and tidy. It’s now habbit and one more thing I don’t have to worry about!

I love eveything about the beach – the heat, the salty breeze, the sea gulls, the crowds, the colorful beach umbrellas scattered along the shore, the life guards, the surfers… Someday I will become a beach bum and sit on the beach all day, eat pineapples, and not have a care in the world (oh get a great tan too!)

I grew up in Oceanside, CA and use to go to the beach everyday before and after school – I was too young to learn to surf. The second I move far away from the cold, I am going surfing…everyday.

Gosh – I can’t wait to get out of the U.S.
Can’t wait to live on the reef and shoot roo’s (just kidding)
I love Australia!

I would LOVE to do this for my 21st birthday!

How expensive is it? Not too worried, I have 3 years till I’m close to 21. Something to look forward to though.

Oh yah – where is a great spot to go?

back hand springs, back tucks, round off back hand springs, round off back hand spring-lay out

over 3 years of competitive cheerleading : )

I do suffer from back pain every now and then from putting my body through a ton of stress of lifting, bending/twisting – but it was worth it. just be careful

Monday – today was the day I started changing my ways. I have finally let go family problems…

I forgive my mom for making a mess so huge that it can’t just be cleaned up with any regular dust pan and broom. I forgive her and love her with all my heart, and nothing held back. I hope she knows.

I haven’t done it yet but I working toward texting my sister – and maybe, just maybe a phone call. It has been before september f last year, the last time I gave her a hug and told her that I loved her. I miss all the fun we use to have, but she can be so bitter and ignorant. I am putting it aside and telling her I love her. She might call me a stupid bitch or worse not even text me back, but it is worth a try – I let it go, can she?

I am letting go the CLEAN bathroom – I have to share a bathroom with two gross teenage boys, who just can’t keep the bathroom clean. I swear they do it on purpose just to make me mad… so I am letting it go. I stoped picking up after them and stoped getting annoyed by something so minute.

A little everyday…
