| I feel bad not updating everyone on my life since I've
been so busy lately. So this is my lame attempt to keep the interested
updated. I don't seem to have much downtime anymore. M-F work til 6.
Come home, wedding planning or house hunting. Saturday-out with the
realtor all day looking at houses. Along those lines, we found THE
perfect house. Waterfront home with a huge deck and flowers and
Japanese something trees that are apparently worth multiple thousands
of dollars (it's a plant...why?)New hardwood floors, new countertops,
and all 3 bathrooms were recently updated. Everything was new. All
updated appliances...stainless steel. Not too far from the beach. Nice
yard. Big bedrooms. Nice neighborhood...all the kids were out playing
and neighbors were out talking and apparently they have group cookouts
all the time and holiday parties together. Sooo perfect. So we decided
to put in an offer. We were so excited and we kept telling the people
how beautiful their house was...yada yada yada. Apparently we told them
that too much because they decided not to move and took their house off
the market. Gah! So we're back to square one on that one.
FOR THE GIRLS: Wedding planning...yeah, I'm not a pro. It's time
like these that I wish maybe I was a little bit more girly. Both the ceremony place AND reception place are still pending, so I won't even go into that. I'll probably know by next Monday. We're planning on having a live band as well as a DJ. Colors...although
they keep changing shades, are dark pink and light pink, with some
splashes of color with flowers (yellow, orange, etc.) Dresses: tea
length, lighter color pink. Flowers: NO clue! Honeymoon: a Cruise to
the Caribbean. So that's the plan so far. I'm not exactly on the ball...mainly cause I don't know how to be. yeesh.
OTHER than that...Evan and I decided to take a day trip yesterday
to Williamsburg and went to the outlet mall shops, busch gardens, and
cracker barrel. We sang really loudly and made fun of each other the
whole way back, which is always fun. Oh! I recently got a promotion at
work, with more benefits, more pay, and a new title. Cool.
Sooo that's what's new with me. Halloween is in two days and I
still don't know what I'm gonna be doing. Hopefully something...we'll
see.
Over and out. | | |
| Here's an update: (several months later)
I highly doubt anyone reads this anymore, but it's more just as a way to express things. My life as of late has been kinda stressful. Evan and I decided to start looking at houses since one day maybe we'll really get one together. We got a realtor and after a few months of searching and looking at places, we found one. So cute! Eventually we put an offer down and it was under contract. I was so excited, but...it ended up falling through. Needless to say, the home search has been put off indefinitely for now. Kinda sad about that cause for a moment I thought finally something new was happening in my life...but oh well, in due time. My parents and I butted heads recently about some relatively serious topics, which is rare. Things are a little better now and we all acknowledged that there were misunderstandings and things were blown out of proportion. Things aren't back to normal though. My car broke down this week. I was hoping for a simple repair, but it ended up costing me about $1,500. ouch. I'm really wanting some changes and something new in my life...something to look forward to, plan for, or work towards...ya know, something to be proud of! My own place would be cool but I refuse to rent because I see it as a waste of money, plus I don't wanna live alone and the roommate idea will pretty much never happen. I eventually want a new job, but the thought of looking for one doesn't sound fun. It's hard to look for change when you're settled into somewhere. It pays the bills and I'm comfortable. I guess that's another one of those "in due time" things. (Maybe that's the thing that could be my big new change and something new to be proud of...the risk is hard to take, but part of growing up). Basically everything right now seems like questions marks. I don't know what I'm doing or where I'm going with any aspect of my life...and being a slight control freak, it's driving me insane...thus the stress.
In other news, my birthday is soon. Not sure what I'll do to celebrate, if anything. "23" isn't exactly an exciting age. Me and Evan will probably go to Busch Gardens the day before, but he has to work on my birthday, so who knows. I'd like to do something new or different. Not sure why this sudden "new and different" kick. Maybe I'll do something smaller scale like redecorate my room (aka my parents office...I havent had my own room since I moved back in after college) or maybe finally get Hurley, although the folks are opposed to it since I still live under their roof. Maybe I'll do it anyway. Nobody could turn away somethin so cute. So...what's next? Who the heck knows. But I need somethin...and soon. My life has become too predictable. Maybe I'm growin up or somethin...ha, maybe not.
ok I'm done...Adieu.

| not much time so i'll make this quick. there are so many times i wish i could just hang out with my lainers. not fair! | | |
| not a WHOLE lot goes on in my life that's worth reading about, so i don't often have too many things to write about either. The only things that've really stood out about the last few weeks are as follows: i went to crazy wing cantina with evan, squeek, and ashley and the bartender (annoying jerk, by the way) dared me to try the DOA wings...because I felt like being risky. He heard me say I liked jalapenos (favorite food!) and said I should try their hottest wings. I had to sign a waiver and release form to be able to eat one! So yeah I ate it...and it hurt. My eyes watered, when i breathed out of my nose, it burned my nose, and then I couldn't open my eyes for the next 3 minutes or so. I couldn't see...I could only hear the bartender saying, "you ok darlin? you need another napkin?" about a million times. I only ate one, but he said the highest record ever was eating six. I have no clue how someone could do that!!! My stomach hurt for the next three days...literally. BUT i didn't fall through on that dare! :) and I think I'll stick to jalapenos. I went and visited my loves in Lynchburg! James and Duck and Brett got a new apt. so I stayed there. It's really cute! Friday night I got there late cause I didn't get home from work til 630. We all hung out at Dylan, Rich, Matt, and Casey's house. I had so much fun. I've missed them. We stayed up til like 5am and had good times. Saturday we had lunch and hung out around the apt. for awhile...followed a drunk man who was stumbling around the neighborhood and videotaped it, played some pranks on the neighbors...then at night we had girls night. It's been a long time since I've had one of those...maybe since like 8th grade? We went to Friday's and I dd'ed and watched the ladies become billigerant. It was fun times!!! Afterwards we went back to Dylan's house and some skinny dipping went out. I hung out with Casey and we watched a marathon or Dog the Bounty Hunter. Slept at the apt and me, duck, and tia shared a room and talked into the night. Next morning we got ready while playing who's hotter and went over to the snow shack!! love that place!!! Before I left we played Scategories (sp?) and I love it!! Best game ever. It was good times up there and I decided I'm going up again next month for Scaremare and maybe the weekend Foxtrot plays there...we'll see. I got some real pretty flowers from Evan last week...they're the background on my phone now cause I LOVED them. The NEXT weekend they came and visited me! Beach weekend!! Matt, Tia, Duck, and James came down and we pretty much beached it the whole weekend. Friday night we went down to the beach and talked in the sand and me and tia departed for a few and had a mini girls night at Retro. ha! good times. Afterwards we went and saw Pat at work and watched him cook a pig and talked to him for a few as he earned money. Saturday it was beautiful 90 degree weather and the waves were fun, so we took some inflatable boats and body boards out. Evan beached with us Saturday and then we went and ate at Guadalajara. Afterwards we were all tired and stayed in and decided to have a camp out. We set up the tent and roasted smores then decided we'd rather be inside. SOO we went inside and decided to have a friends marathon. I passed out a season to everyone and they had to pick their favorite...and we watched one from every season. We were pretty exhausted after beaching all day. Sunday morning...beached it! We all got a little burnt, but it was so much fun. We saw a down syndrome seagull and searched for buried treasure with metal detectors. Me and James found a shipwrecked boat with tons of treasure then decided we were happy being poor and didn't dig it up. I took lots of pictures and put them up on facebook. View them if you'd like! :) This past week at work I was running the office because everyone's gone at a trade show. It went my reeeeal slow, so me and the new girl, Jenny, talked most of the time. I'm not the only girl in the office anymore!!! I went shopping on my lunchbreak like 3 times and spent lots of money, but I enjoyed it! Friday sucked. I worked 9am til 1130pm and never got a food break, so by 1130 i wanted to die. I missed hangout time afterwards cause I didn't feel good...guh! Today VT plays, so I'm gonna go cheer with the plethera of people my dad has invited over to watch then me and ma are going shopping. Plans for tomorrow at the oceanfront with friends. Ahh
I'm so glad to live here. I love this place. I would like a house...but mainly cause I want Hurley and my parents won't let him live here. Otherwise, things are GREAT! no complaints: fam's good, guy's good, love's good, work's good...now if Alaina would move here that'd be great! love, Amy | | |
