Life..

Who's ready for an update on my life? Man, its been pretty dang crazy. I'm going to college full time. I'm taking American Social Problems, Spanish 1, Physics, and Intermediate Algebra. Let's just say, it has been a hard couple of weeks. I went from sitting at home doing nothing (and I really mean NOTHING) to attending school full time and working two part time jobs. Not to mention finding time to see my boyfriend. I guess now would be the right time to tell you about my new job. It's retail but I can not tell you the name. Let's just say it's fun and girly and so far I love it. Trying to find time to relax to harder then I thought it would be. I hate that I have no time to film anymore. I miss the YouTube world so much. I can't wait to start filming again. My addiction to Pepsi has gotten worse! I NEED caffeine or I would never make it through the day. As crazy as life is right now, I'm happy. Truly happy! Of course, I miss all of my friends who went away for school but I have met some really amazing people and have reconnected with childhood friends. I hope you all are doing well. Bye for now!

Photobucket

I can remember spending hours and hours looking at photobucket for cute icons for my myspace page in middle school. Now, photobucket feels like an escape to me. Almost like I can leave my little world and travel to distant places. You can view pictures of different people and different places faster then you can blink. A photograph can capture so much emotion it's crazy. I found this picture and thought I should share it with you. Make sure you check out photobucket if you ever get time. It truly is amazing.

Update / New boyfriend!

Wow, I can not believe how long its been since I posted anything on my blog. I feel like I haven't posted a video or anything in months. I miss it so much but I haven't been able to find time between school, work, and spending time with my new boyfriend. You all would not even believe how happy I've been. Life really has never been better. Everyone has been asking me how David and I met so I guess now would be a good time to fill you in. I think we'll also film a Q&A video together soon. Anyway, David and I have known eachother for about 10 years. He did boy scouts with my brother when they were little kids. He also happens to live on the street right behind mine. But, after awhile we grew apart and didn't talk as much. Then, one day my really good friend called me and told me she was at someone's house that was right behind mine and that I should hangout with them. And of course, it was David's house. After a few nights of asking me to hangout I finally gave in and spent time with them. David and I have talked everyday since then. He has made me feel so beautiful and loved since day one of our relationship. I feel so safe and at home when I'm with him. I love his family just as much as I love him. Everything feels so right when we're together. I will even tell you that I want to spend the rest of my life with him (I know, crazy right?!). I think our story is so random and awesome. I know it's a God thing. My life has been amazing this past month that we have shared together. I can't wait for you all to meet him in a video. But for now, a picture will have to do!

Hawaiian themed bunco

So, as you can tell from the title, last week we had an hawaiian themed bunco. I wasn't feeling very lucky and well, I wasn't. I did however win the biggest loser prize which is $5. But hey, it's better to lose $5 then $10. If you have been reading my blog posts about bunco and have no idea what I'm talking about then here is a site that will explain how to play! http://www.ehow.com/how_14930_play-bunco.html Here is a picture of all of us

Life!

Last weekend was my best friend's senior prom. She called and asked if I would come over and help her do her hair and makeup. Of course I said yes! The whole time I was helping her I couldn't help but think about everything we've been through the past 16 years. She was at my first birthday party, we spent every summer together, we spent hours and hours talking about high school, college, and boys when we were little. I can't believe how fast time has gone by. When I was little I never thought I would see the day when high school ended and everyone moved on with their life. I miss being little. I wish I would have had more fun and not worried so much about growing up. But no matter what anyone told me about wishing my life away I had to find it out for myself. The past couple of weeks I have been thinking back on my life and I don't want to do that anymore. I want to be seventeen and not worry about yesterday or tomorrow. I just want to be happy today. No matter how many plans we make in life somethings will always change. So, go with the flow and enjoy your life today. You never know if you will wake up tomorrow. Anyway, here are a few pictures of me and my beautiful best friend. I love you Kristina!

My other half!

She is so beautiful! From the inside out!

5 random facts

So, I did a video a while back with 5 random facts about me and my life. But, I thought it would be fun to give you five more facts. Leave me a comment and tell me five facts about yourself and we can get to know eachother better.

Fact # 1
I was homeschooled from first grade all the way through senior year of high school. I would say it's not for everyone but I'm glad my mom kept me home. I feel like I got to experience more because I had more time in my day. I only did school work for 3 or 4 hours a day and then had a bunch of free time. Everyone always asks me if I liked it and I did. I was able to cheer for my local high school and attend homecoming both junior and senior year and also prom senior year. People think alot of homeschoolers don't get out much. But trust me, my mom had my brother and I in everything! We hated going to homeschool groups because we thought everyone else was weird!! LOL

Fact # 2
I have been to Disney World atleast 15 times. Living in Florida my whole life thats what we would always do when we wanted to get away. "Hey, lets go somewhere this weekend." Off to Disney we went. I love going but after a few times it gets old!

Fact # 3
The number 1 thing I have to do before I die is visit Greece! I have seen a million pictures and it looks so beautiful. I HAVE to see it with my own eyes. The water looks so clear and amazing, I can't wait to just jump in!

Fact # 4
I'm obsessed with Post Secret. I go on the website every Sunday and read all the new ones. I could sit on photobucket for hours reading them. (and I have!) I think the idea of putting your secret out there and not having to say it or put your name on it is awesome. I have not done so but I could see how it would be a relief to let it go.

Fact # 5
I'm ADDICTED to Pepsi!! I know I said this in my video but i had to add it here too since it's such a big thing in my life. I no lie drink 3 a day. I know, I know..it's bad for you. Trust me, I've tried to quit. But, I would rather die happy :)

Spring Break!

Finally spring break 2010 came! I spent it at home with some amazing people. It was nice to just take a break from life and have fun. Here are a few pictures :)

So, for those of you who don't know my mom and I are in a girls bunco group. We all get together once a month at a different house and play. Every month is also a different theme. This month was my time to host and I picked Breakfast at Tiffany's as my theme. Here are a few pictures. I hope you all enjoy and maybe even use some of our ideas!

Valentine's day

Hey everyone! So, it's been almost a month since valentine's day and i'm finally getting around to a blog post. My boyfriend is moving so I made him a bulletin board in the theme of his room. To bad I forgot to take a picture! Anyway, he came over and then we went to lunch. I spent the rest of the day alone because he had to work. Here are some pictures of what he gave me.

LUSH Haul!

I should start this blog post by saying youtube made me do it! I saw many "lush haul" videos on youtube and thought I would never try it. I got sucked in!! One day while walking through Macy's I saw it..a Lush store! I have never seen one so I got so excited I started walking really fast to get to it. I thought I should only try one or two things to see if I liked it. I picked out a cinders bath bomb and couldn't find anything else so off I went to pay. When I got to the register the sales associate gave me a happy pill bath bomb for free and also a little sample of demon in the dark soap. I was happy all day just knowing I had a Lush store and also getting three things to try for $4! After using everything I thought I should go back and try more. Out of both trips the only things I liked were the cinders bath bomb and the honey I washed the kids soap. Lets just say I'm not a huge fan of Lush.
