Finals Stress Reliever.

The weekend before finals the school always has a finals stress reliever where they rent a bunch of those big blow up things for a few hours and all the college students get to go play on them. Ashley and I had a blast! I couldn't pull myself off the velcro thing and I have scabbs on my elbows from getting burned on the slide. Thanks for going with my Ash! you're awesome!!!!

May I just vent for a little?

today is one of those days where I simply am annoyed with everything.
1. Roommates suck. At least the ones that I have had to live with. I am tired of selfish girls that dont care about anyone but themselves. They dont clean up after themselves. They expect you to share your clothes and pretty much everything else (ie: shampoo, razor, girl stuff... ect) with them, even if you tell them its not okey. They dont respect your stuff and they are so irresponsible its RIDICULOUS! I want to live with FRIENDS is that too much to ask. Out of the 8 roommates that I have had I can only say that I really feel like Ashley is a friend and that really happened more after she moved out!
2. I want friends. am tired of being alone. Now I know that I should just go force myself into a group but that isnt my personality. I want people to want me. It's always been if Cristal is here thats cool and if she's not thats cool too. I feel like whenever I try and and get into a group the group suddenly stops hanging out with each other. Take for instance this last semester. The girls that I moved in with were all friends before i moved in. They hung out all the time. Had a "group". a few weeks after i moved in... no more group. They dont even hang out anymore and on those off days that they do... i'm not included. (that does not include boys who dont want to be friends but just want to hang out so that we can make out)
3. English is my nightmare. Finals are this week and tomorrow morning is english. We have to right a rheotrical analysis which I HATE (yeah that much). They are so freaking hard. I just want to be done with that.
4. Thatcher sucks and so does everyone that is here. for real. you have no idea how excited that i am to not be coming back here.
5. single is what i want to be. Do i really need more reason than that. I dont want to be single so i can go play with tons of other guys. I dont want to be single because i dont like you anymore. I JUST DONT WANT TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP. why guys cant understand that I DONT KNOW! and its irritating when they want me to tell them over and over and over again why i wont be their girlfriend. I.AM.NOT.READY.TO.GET.MARRIED. if that is what you want---- move on.


I know that i am not perfect. That sometimes I am selfish and dont clean up after myself. i am in no way saying that my life is horrible. Because it is NOT. I have many opportunites and good things going on. But i can be bothered. i need to go study for that final. BLAH!!!!!

Camping on Mt. Graham

Last Wednesday was Veterans Day so there was no school. Because i have such an awesome car alex and I decided to go sleep on Mount Graham, which we live at the base of basically. There was a huge party going on with all the sports players from my school the next campsite over and they were getting REALLY crazy. Alex and I didnt join in on there fun. We did make a fire and cook s'mores before we went to bed.


I just love my car so much!


We went for a hike the next morning. It was beautiful cuz the leaves were changing colors.


The view was lovely but there was less trees the higher we went due to a fire at some point


And we found a little stream that came from no where. I love when there is water on a hike. pretty much i dont like to go on hikes unless they lead to water. :)

Oct 31 2009

This Halloween was also hour school's homecoming game. We wanted to show some school spirit and also get in the year book so thats what we did. The original plan was for just the four roommates to dress up spelling out "EAC!" but that seemed lame so I decided to try and get enough people to spell "GO MONSTER!" After much texting and phone calls we found enough people that were brave enough to face the chill of the night. The girls all made tutu's with purple, yellow and black tool(it was a black out game) It was so much fun and we did win. YAY!


Go Monster!


The Girls: Loren, Bre, Ashley, Me, and Brea

Shortly after I moved in with these girls we were discussing halloween and how we wanted to do something themed all together. After much thought we chose to do disney princesses. I volunteered to make all the costumes cuz i'm just a bomb sewer. It took me a while and I had to redo one completely... not my fault though (she wanted it different after i made it.) Alex also really wanted to be Max from Where The Wild Things Are so i made that for him also. Everyone thought that he looked so cute. I felt accomplished.


Snow White, Belle, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty



Isn't he cute?





*I'm Still cleaning up glitter and paint from that night.

Congrats to me!

Thats my 20th BIRTHDAY by the way!

Newest employing of Thriftee's food and drug

I have been looking for a job for about the past month with no luck. I had applied at thriftees a few weeks ago and had not heard back from them until yesterday. Alex texted me at 9 telling me that i should go apply again because they were hiring. I told him that i shouldnt have to because they should already have my application. Right after I told him that Michelle, my new boss, called and set up an interview for noon. I went in and was told that i start tomorow.

I went to bed early because I had to be there at 4:20 am. As many of my family members know its hard for me to wake up that early. It was a terrible night of sleep. I had to put my phone on loud so that i was sure to wake up but someone called me at midnight and woke me up. and then someone texted me at 1:30. on top of that i was so stressed that i wasnt going to wake up that i woke up like every hour.

The job itself is alright. It does make my fingers hurt. you would think that after all the sewing that i do that wouldnt happen. Anyways i get off at 8:30 cuz i have class at 9. Its tuesday, thursday, and saturdays. money is money.

My fish died

Well I forgot to mention in my last post that I killed Alex's fish coronado. I have had the fish since I came back to school and since that time I had not cleaned the water.... It was really dirty and like 3 to 4 inches of water were in it. I was going to clean it on Sunday but Saturday night alex went to the fish bowl asking, "wheres coronado?" He then proceeded to lift up the tunnel we have in the bowl and found a dead fish. He was very sad about it. He really loved that fish.

I bought him a new one a few days later. I gold fish again but a different type. He named it Jupiter. That night the fish were moved back to his house which is fine with me.

This last sunday before church alex called me up and said that he had some really bad news... Ameryllis died. She out lived two of alex's fish. she was a fighter. Pertty much the best gold fish ever. Jupiter did it. He bullied her ever since he moved in. He would eat all the food and follow her around the bowl bumping into her. He was mean. Alex wanted to return him but we were a day late.

She was a good fish. Alex has to buy me another one now.

Catch up.

I can never remember what order the pictures download. sigh. oh well. So i returned Emilee's Lucky Duck even though she didnt have the randsome because she missed it alot and i didnt know when i would be returning to mesa again.

I cant find a job here in Thatcher. No one is hiring. Kind of depressing and pretty stressful

School is going well.I love math even though i sleep through the class often. Its all review though so i am not worried about it. And dance has been frustrating me cuz i feel like i never improve. UGH

The County fair was last week and I went once with my roommates and then again with Alex on Saturday. He gets sick on rides so he isnt as fun as dad but it was still fun. It was a small fair but that made it a little cheaper than the state fair and we got to go on more rides. sorry if this is confusing... there is a guy sitting next to me talking and i am trying to listen and write this.





My roommates and I all got airbrushed tats.

Also Amanda's wedding was last weekend.



He Cleans up nice huh. :)



The Bridesmaids. I was the maid of honor for my best friend Amandas wedding. I made the brides maids dresses, did the brides, flower girls, mine and another brides maids hair, and did the brides make up.



Me, Amanda and Suzie. Doesn't she look Beautiful?! (the bride)

A Decidedly UN-Lucky Duck.

Help me Emilee!!! its dark and I dont know where I am!!



Emilee I am not sure if you noticed but your duck is not in your purse anymore. You should be worried for Lucky Duck because as you see.. he is being tortured... Alex can't keep his mouth off it. If you ever want to see your duck again I will need 9 hundred grand by next saturday September 26th 2009.

Bad A's for a day

CHeap dates in thatcher are pretty easy to come by. This one is extra cheap and its fun. Alex bought a package of tattoos that we cut apart and then took turns choosing one til they were all split up. He got to choose where he was going to put mine and I got to decide where his were going.



I think that I did a better job at placeing them... dont tell him though.

bruises and more.

I have been back at school for 2 weeks now. I wasn't that busy my first week cuz half my classes were cancelled due to my dance teacher being in the hospital. Her hip is dislocated. She now teaches from a wheel chair. More about that in a little though. Uh.. my classes are going well so far. I am taking math, anatomy, english, pilates, and 4 dance classes.. there might be another learning one but I cant think of it at the moment if there is. Last Saturday the school had an opening social on the practice football field. They got a fire truck to come and do a slip and slide for us. It was alot of fun... but as you can see from the pictures... kinda painful. When you went through the spray of the hose... if you can call it that... it was like getting hit with baseballs. It doesnt help that i bruise so easily also.

Back to dance. My body hurts... i lay on my matress and can barely move. i just want to sink into it and stay forever. I have 2 Ballet classes were for the first 2 weeks we are doing p90x.. if you dont know what that is... its HARD! SUPER HARD! and Painful! So i get that twice a day on tuesdays and thursdays and then In our theatre dance class we are doing jazz right now and my knees and butt and sides are bruised from all those moves... its great and i am going to be able to beat all you up when i come back to mesa... so be scared.

I am going to New Mexico tomorrow... i say that so i have motivation to blog about it.



















Love You

Back In Thatcher

These are my new Roommates Ashley, Loren, Me, and Breanna. They are all very nice and fun to be with. I haven't spent much time with them as of yet because we are all so busy but I liKe them.

The first semester that I was at EA I was in the sports dorms with all the football players. I had one roommate. The Sping Semester I was in apartments with 3 girls and that was fine. I shared a room with one of them while the other two were in the other room. This year I am in a house but I have my own room. I like it cuz I have 2 sets of french doors. One that leads to the outside of the house and the other going into the main living area. It's wierd having so much space to put my stuff. After sharing a room for so long, especially when i go home and share with Emilee and Julia and all my stuff is still in boxes, its so odd to be able to spread out.

First Car!!

I few weeks after I returned from college Rachael (who I am working for) asked me if I wanted a car. OF course I said yes because my parents wanted me off their insurance and it's a huge hassle to get some one to take me grocery shopping in thatcher. The next day I went into work and she says that Dusty found me a car at his work and all I have to do is pay to have it fixed.
When I first saw a picture of the car an 83 Volvo-Wagon style I was not sure that I wanted it. Actually I was pretty positive that I didn't. But the car grew on me and now I love it.



Jealous? I know... its natural. Haha This is the car






My nephew Kristofer was the first one to ride in my sweet ride. He told me over and over again on the way home how lame my car was. What a sweetie :P Since that day I bought seat covers so you cant see how torn up the seats are. Its pretty nice inside now.



Because the car is a wagon I can flip down the back seat and fit a whole twin size mattress into it. Who needs a house to live in at college when you can just sleep in your car!?!?! :) Other perks are... the ac worked for the first month... but now... it doesnt... BUT all the windows are electric and they ALL roll down! so it makes up for it in some way. The gas milage isnt that great but hey i'll be driving it mostly in Thatcher where everything is within 5 miles or less. I think that it's a great car for a college student.

Eastern Arizona College

I have now returned home from my first year at EAC. What a wonderful year it has been. I was part of the Rowdy Retiles for the first semester where I got to cheer on all the sports teams that played. I went to New Mexico twice with Alex. Met a lot of cool people including my best friend Amanda. Had some fun with paint... we all purchased a gallon of paint and threw it at each other... I was involved with all the things going on at the institute and all the actities that were going on at the school. I was in Suessical the Musical this last semester. I worked for the costume shop, where I helped make the costumes for all the school productions. I even went to school part of the time. :) All in all it was a good year and I cant wait to see what adventures are still to come.

School Luau

Saturday after my last choir concert of the week my school had their anual Luau. EAC has a lot of hawiians and they have a club that puts on a big show that night. The food was good. The entertainment was fun. The company was great. And my boyfriend is now released from student counsil actitivies...FINALLY! :)

Cortez RIP 4/20/2009 Welcome Coronado

Late afternoon on Monday Alex sent me a text telling me that his fish died. He was so sad. We went to the store and returned Cortez cuz we are poor college students. They threw him in the trash right in from of us... So insensitive. Anyways I went and got Alex a new fish, Coronado. He says that he names them hispanic names because he wont be able to name his children that. Amaryllis and Coronado seem to like each other alot. They follow each other around the bowl all day long. Fish can be so entertaining.

Cortez and Amaryllis

Yesterday, April 18th, Alex and I went to wal-mart (the only place in that Safford area to shop really) and bought some pet fish. Alex named his Cortez... he is on the upper side of the tank... and mine is Amaryllis.... she is to the right of the tank. Gender is from their names. They get to stay at Alex's place. He doesnt want them at my place... why? i asked. his response was "If they go to your house your roommates with kill them cuz they are mean. If they die here its cuz my roommates are idiots." We need to hide the food so that his roommates will stop over feeding them.

"I am just going to love these fish so much"- alex when we were purchasing them. And he does.

The night that the muscial that I was in ended, Suessical The Musical, Suzie, Meigen and I decided that we were going to cause some mischief. Suzie was upset with Jeremy because he didnt want to hang out with her so he was our target. The supplies included, easter grass, oreos, gummy bears, and serran wrap. Alex was supposed to come on the adventure with us but at the last minute he decided not to come... bad choice. Anyways, we were out until 4 am "decorating" guys cars, moving benches around at school, and the other activity has been excluded because of legal reasons. It was fun though.

The Disguises.

The get-away truck.

Alex's car. OH he was not happy in the morning. His roommate, Zach, was awake when we were putting the stuff on his car and when we were almost done set the alarm on his car off to scare us away. We took off FAST but returned a few hours later to finish the job.

Oh the lovely school benches. It took all 3 of us and like 10 minutes to move it under the clock tower. Those suckers are HEAVY!

It seems that my family forgets about me because I live 2.5 hours away. I know everything that goes on with all my siblings because they have blogs but they know nothing about me. I might not be that exciting but I do want to be included. So today I came home for Easter and talked my mom into signing Emilee out of school. She (emilee) has been nice enough to help me set up a blog which has taken a long time to do. What a sweetie. Anyways so now I am in. I will be part of the family again. My mom is so excited... she told me :) And so am I. It just sucks that you missed all the exciting stuff that happened during my first year of college. It was fun and now it is almost over. YAY.
