I have not posted in a long time. We have been settling into the apartment and getting situated. The new news is that my boyfriend and I have gotten bunnies. One's name is Emma and the other is Lizzie until we find out what whether or not they are both in fact girls or not0They are still babies so it will be a while before we can tell whether or not they really are both girls. We keep them on our dresser cabinet. Lizzie is more rambuncious than Emma and jumps around the cage throughout the night and also digs in the cage. Emma is laid back. She is a really tiny dwarf rabbit that can fit in the palm of your hand. Lizzie is I think dwarf mini lop who is bigger than Emma.
I have been working mostly and doing school work. I had a week off from classes so I was able to get a break from school. Worked most of my break.I did get to go to a Whole Foods which is a natural and organic grocery store. I had fun there. I played tour guide for my bf because he has not gone to a Whole Foods before. He bought more there than I did. Plus he liked the stuff that he bought.
well, I gtg now. ttyl.

an update

Sat, 17 Feb 2007 15:19:44 GMT

It has been a long while since I have last updated my site. I am now living in NJ and I will be getting an apartment with someone that I work with. I still work at Lowe's so that part has not changed. I have an awesome boyfriend and we have been going out for a little bit over 2 months but it feels like we have been going out for a very long time. I am hoping to find a different job that pertains more towards what I am going for which is business management. I am taking classes at CTU (Colorado Technical University Online). I should be graduated by March 29th of 2008 or so. so that is a short update on daily occurrences.

This Christmas I miss my dad. I get so lost shopping for people this time of year because my dad and I did that together. It would take me a while to get things for people. He would be the one who recommended things that I could get for my mom and sister. Then in his own way without me realizing it sometimes he would say that he wanted something and me being me would not catch on at first. Thinking he was asking me if I wanted it.

So this year I do the shopping myself. Without the input. The second year in a row.

well that is what is on my mind now. so... thought I'd share. sorry for the depressing moment.

God bless.

I figure that I will post while I am taking a break from the videos for management that I have to watch before I have my final. I made it through one and I have a bunch more to go. I applied to a different online school today. It is called Colorado Technical University. This all occurred after I heard my bag vibrate because my phone was going off. I was relieved that it was not work saying that there was a schedule mess up and that I would have to work, but greatfully that was not the case. Instead it was the school (named above) that called me to ask me some questions which led to me applying to the college (which is awesome) and I also found out that Lowe's is a partner with them and that my application fee was waived. (God made a way. I was worried about the money for the app. fee). The cost of the school for tuition and everything includes everything that is needed to complete the course such as the textbooks and software that is needed. ( I do not think they are including the notebooks, pencils, and the such so it is not fully everything. but that is ok though I can get that stuff myself). Also there are no finals and midterms which I thought was awesome.

This week consists of studying and revising the papers that I finished and then more studying all the way until Wednesday of next week when my last final occurs. Oh and working, that too. except for Sunday (hopefully) through til Wednesday.

I had gingerbread cookie with frosting on it and I think I over did it with the sugar (especially since I had some frosting before the whole cookie with frosting thing occurred) too much sugar.

have a good night.

God bless.

paint

I am now in paint and so far it is alright. Time moves quicker. Mixing paint reminds me of Chemistry and I enjoy mixing paint. I down stock, I move around and don't have to stay in one area for hours at a time. I can walk over to other departments without having to worry about leaving a register. I help out on the front end occassionally. was there the whole day on Saturday, but am now fully in paint.

now it is studying time for finals and papers to finish

have a good night.

God bless.

Today is another work day and I have the evening shift. I should be working on my paper which I might before I leave. I have been overwhelmed and stressed about school. I think that is why it is taking so long with getting stuff done. I have two more full papers to type, but those are due next week. I am almost done with the one that is due this week. I am almost done with the semester. I have my finals in two weeks. I have called other schools to see if I can transfer to them but the one school (in CO) doesn't do online courses and the other I was left confused after the phone call was completed.

The house is still on the market. We got one of those realtor notes in the mail saying that whoever saw the house thought that it was a "great private spot" since we live on a culdisack but they were still undecided. We are replacing the rug downstairs. The original rug that was there was pink because it used to be my room when I was younger but now it is going to be misty sage or something along those lines tomorrow when the guy comes and puts the rug in. I am hoping that it the house will sell soon.

God bless.

Happy be-lated Thanksgiving!!!! Today was the day I woke up at 3 something to be at work at 5. It wasn't as bad as I thought. I was able to get out of work at 2. I wound up going on the comp and checking my mail and then going to sleep. I bought a crock pot and two mag lights which were all around $9.97 each I thought was not bad. Tomorrow I work from 9-6 and I will then hopefully try and catch up on my schoolwork before my finals come. I have not moved departments yet, not sure when they are going to move me.

God bless.

I figured that I would update since I have not done so in a while. All I have been up to is work and school. Recently I hung out with a friend at work who is a Christian. He invited me to go with him to a youth group with people our age there. It was nice. I was able to talk about faith openly and not have no worry about getting funny looks from people. It was at a cafe in Sparta, NJ it was nice. Plus they had Big Train Chai which I thought was awesome and one of the girls in the group works at the cafe and gave everyone drinks on the house. It was nice to meet other people my age who believe in the Lord and follow him.

I might be moving departments at work but I don't know when.

well it is late and I am going to go now ttyl.

This past weekend we went to my cousin's wedding. Friday night was the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner which I went to straight from work. We helped take all of the flowers for the church to the wedding.

The wedding was nice. My cousin is now a Jervis. And she has baby on her mind especially since she gave me and my sister journals that have babies on them.

Here are some pics from the reception and two pics that might be used for Christmas cards of my sister and I:

my cousin and her dad

my cousin and her new husband

me and my sister take 1

me and my sister take 2

my sister even managed to drag me onto the dance floor. The reception was fun and the food was good (both at the rehearsal and reception).

I pray that God will bless their marriage.
