Linkage

Boring, boring day..... per usual. Went out to lunch with Ryan, and came home to clean up and go through all of my junk. Ryan had to go to class at 4 so I decided to pull out the scrapbooks and work on them. I need to go get a bunch of pictures printed off my camera, and get the pictures off my computer, so I can add them in there too.

In this post I was really wanting to link you guys to some awesome Youtube pages. So if you have a youtube account, you should subscribe to these people. And if you do not have an account.... well you should make one!!! Or just occasionally check out their pages. The first person is Sxephil, aka Philip DeFranco. Now if you are conservative, and do not like cussing or hearing "dirty" things, then you should not watch him. He talks about news related things, but makes them hilarious. So check him out!

The next person you should take some time to check out is the Shaytards. I have linked you to them before, but I seriously can not get enough of them. You will fall in love with their family. The videos can get kind of long, but are definitely worth the time you take to watch them.

Okay and my last two are beauty channels, but they are my two favorite. I always love watching these two's videos. So if you are a girly girl and like watching hair tutorials, or makeup related things, then you should check these two out for sure. I could name a TON more girls, but these two are my favorite. Now if you are into the beauty channels, like me, you should let me know, and I'll let you know of some more awesome girls.

So there you go. It makes me feel good to give these links to you guys, because I just love these youtubers soo so much. They are the reason Randi does not get her homework done. I can not blame facebook because I am more addicted to Youtube. 


Well I guess that is all for now, gonna hang out here. Maybe, possibly do some homework, not really sure.

Pulled Groins and Breakdowns..... whaaat?

Vacation time again! It really feels like I'm not working anymore, which is a good thing because I need to catch up with school work, but also a bad thing because we need monies! I worked today, and now I am off for two days. I talked to my boss today, and I am going to be PR, or only working as needed. So if someone goes on leave or vacation or whatever, I will come in and work a couple days, and I am going to work the X shift on the weekends. Which is only 5:30 - 7:30, but with that shift, I get paid more. So all in all it works out pretty well.

Ryan pulled a muscle, and has been hurtin the last couple days. We have been walking, and icing it tonight, so hopefully that will help it heal. His mom and I agree that he probably shouldn't play hockey on Monday, but he says that he is playing no matter what if he feels better. If it still hurts he will think about not playing..... Boys so stubborn!

The other day, I basically had a breakdown. I have been worrying about us getting jobs, and paying bills, and the other day it just all took over. I got in the shower, and was just so upset. I think I just sat down in the shower and let the water run over me for a good half an hour. Everyone probably thought I had drowned. Then I came out, and took it out on Ryan. I hate how I do that, keep everything bottled up till I have a breakdown, and take it out on him. Almost immediately after the stupid argument I start and carry on to him (because he usually just sits and takes it), I feel awful about it. I am so blessed to have him. He just lets me be upset, and then he apologizes.... when I should be the one apologizing. I am so lucky for such a great partner. But anyways, I was just thinking about how he doesn't have a job yet, and I was still looking at the time, which I will probably still do, and I was thinking about how we had the best jobs EVER in Effingham, with amazing friends. We also would have school there, and my family to take us in till we could afford our own place. We have several things there, that we don't have here. The only great thing about being here is Ryan's family is absolutely amazing to me, and are great to us. I know my family would do the exact same thing for us, it's just knowing we would be leaving his family here. But I also left my family, so I know Ryan could do it, if we were to choose to move back.

I don't know, it's extremely overwhelming, and I struggle all the time going through all of this in my head. Seeing us struggle here, and knowing we wouldn't be in Effingham...... kinda tough. But it is all going to work out in the end. I just have to focus on school, because that is why I moved here, and to be with Ryan of course! So those are what I need to be focusing on right now. 

I love my family at home, and if you guys read this... I love you so so much, more than anything, and I hope you know that I miss you and think about you every single day. I think a part of me gets upset also about the whole situation because I miss my family, and puppies, and friends A LOT. Things will get better! There is always tomorrow, and just seeing Ryan and knowing I'm here with him helps me calm myself when I get upset. 

Tomorrow we shall...... hmmmmm.... I really don't know! haha. Probably do homework, and just hang around the house. That is my guess, but we will see!! Goodnight everyone, this girl is tired!

My little man, Kada! Isn't he just adorable! Goodness I miss my puppies!

Ups and Downs

Today definitely had it's ups and downs. What a crazy day... for real. So it started off pretty amazing. I got paid today, and it goes straight into my bank account so I got online to see how big the check was. It was the biggest check I have ever made in my working career, and I have been working since I was 15. I was not expecting it to have the numbers it did! So I was extremely happy about that. I got in the shower, and as soon as I was out and doing my hair, Ryan knocks on the door nonstop, and says to get out there. Takes me into his parents' room, and shows me that it is SNOWING outside, yes I said snowing. I couldn't believe it. Well I guess I shoulda been able to believe it, because that is how it is here, nice one day, and snow the next. It snowed, and melted, and the sun came out within about 45 minutes. So crazy. So that upset me a little by seeing that, but I cheered up once it stopped.

So after I was ready, we went to Walmart to pay off our bill. We have a walmart credit card thing, that they give you a certain balance, and you just use it like a credit card. Well we had bought a Wii with a lot of equipment with it, so we had a balance of about 300 bucks on there. And with my wonderful check we figured we would just pay it off so we wouldn't have to worry about it. We get there and get up to the register to do this, and I can't find my card. I had recently changed purses because my grandma sent me two new ones, so I figured it was just in my old one. Get home, and couldn't find it anywhere. So we choose to pay the bill online, and report the card lost, so we will receive a new one in about a week. Boy, do I feel stupid. We still haven't found it, so who knows where it is. 

After this whole deal, we ate some food, and Ryan was not feeling well, so we laid down and he took a good hour, hour and a half nap, while I browsed youtube :). He wakes up and we head to Payless because I really need some shoes. I found a couple, but I'm a cheapie and wouldn't buy any of them. Come home and hang out till his game at 8:15. 

His team didn't win but they played extremely well. It was back and forth the entire game. The first period Ryan got hurt, but decided to stay and play the rest of the game. He is definitely feeling it now! Hope he can get up and around for class tomorrow! Now we are home, and he is playing online with his friends, and I did some homework. Tomorrow he should be receiving some things he ordered online, and I am going to bust my butt with some homework, so I'm not overwhelmed once the beginning of the month rolls around!

Well all in all it was a great day! Got to talk to my grandma on the phone and my mom. I miss them like crazy, and can't wait to see them, whenever I should be able to do that. I hope everyone is having a great start to their week! Love all of you! :)

Absolutely amazing! Only a couple more weeks till we getta see him live :D

Goodness

Wow, my life is really boring. I get on here planning on writing, and then I get here and have nothing to write about.

The other night Ryan was complaining about his chest hurting him. And this happens quite a bit and it's kinda scary. He refuses to go to the doctor to get checked out. He thinks he is just fine, and obviously something is wrong. Well the other night, it was bad enough that he was constantly complaining about it. And you never know what could happen. Something awful happened in Ryan's family this last year, about problems with their chest, so I got really scared. I was crying, and very upset. I was scared he wasn't going to wake up in the morning. It really made me think. I know I would be completely lost without him. I wouldn't be able to go on, I just know it. He is the reason for every single thing I do, so what would my life be without him? Just thinking about losing him, and being without him brought about some serious emotions, that I definitely was not able to handle.

That has basically been the breakdown of the last couple days. Besides that, they have been pretty great. Working and attempting to pass some tests for school. One I passed, the other I didn't. I hadn't even looked at this information for either test until right before I had to go and take them. That is what this job is doing to me. So I am hoping once November comes around I will be able to get those crappy grades up. Especially knowing they are going to be looking at my grades in order to determine if I get into the LPN program or not, and some day the RN program. 

My grandma sent me two purses in the mail! I was so excited. They are so perfect and I love them. She is the best. Makes me really miss my family something awful when they do great things like that for me. Let's me know how much they love me and care, and just let's me know that they are thinking about me and haven't forgotten about me here in Utah haha. Asked my dad to send me some of his bread pudding in the mail, but it wouldn't make it here still being edible :( so he is going to send me the recipe :). Boy do I miss them. And I'm not going to get to go home to visit until the summer sometime. That's a long way away! 

Ryan's brother Chris is moving here in a few days, and we are all preparing, and getting excited/nervous! We are going to have a full house here. Gonna be pretty crazy, but will be great to all be together. He is bringing his dog with him, so Boss and Sparky will have a new friend. He should be here on Halloween! Only  a week away, and guess who has to work? Yep, that's me. But that is officially my last day. I think I am going to ask if I can still stay on, and just work the weekend night shifts. Maybe? If not, I completely understand, but we will see. Worked from 6 to 3 yesterday, and went back in and worked 5:30 to 8 that night. So it was a looong day! 

Tomorrow is a look for jobs, do errands day. It should be a good day. It has been soooo cold here though, just hope maybe it will be a little more like fall and less like winter right now.... please!? Now, it is time for bed. Going to bed at 8:30 every night and getting up at 5 really makes a girl tired.

Hopefully I'll have something fun to talk about tomorrow, get some posts in 
 before I go back to work on Wednesday!! Goodnight everyone!! 

My pretty Izzy, boy do I miss her. Love you little girl.

Boring Wednesday

Last night we went and watched Jackass 3d at the movie theater. They just recently got a 3d projector, and I am sooo happy about that. Movin up! lol But anywho, the movie was awesome! I know a lot of people would not like it, it is extremely disgusting but hilarious at the same time. Just my cup of tea..... whaaat?! But I was laughing the entire time, gagged once, but laughed through the whole thing. You have to have a strong stomach to watch it. 
I only have a few more weeks of work left, until I am officially unemployed. This really worries me. I know I "quit" because I need more time for school, and that is EXACTLY what I am going to get once November rolls around. BUT knowing I have bills to pay and essential things that I need money to get, I get worried. I have been checking in with the local job connection here in town, and there always seems to be the same things. We apply for the jobs that say they are hiring, but here nothing from them. And a couple weeks later it says they are still looking for help. What kinda bs is that? I guess that's Vernal for ya.
So I am just praying for something to come our way. I am not the type of person to feel okay with asking my parents for money. I only do if I am in dire need of it, like a last resort, and even then I almost come to tears asking. I am just thankful to be able to live without paying rent, and not have to worry about certain things, like food and washing my clothes. Ryan's family is absolutely wonderful to me, and I couldn't be more thankful. I am lucky to have them. 
So that is about all for now. Last day of my vacation, and we really don't have anything planned. I like it that way, I think. I have a test I have to take by Friday and another I have to take by Saturday, both of which I have not studied for. Maybe I will do that tonight, and tomorrow night. One of them is open book and notes, so that will help. 
Ryan is just now waking up.... haha. So I guess I better go! Our netflix should be in the mail today, so we will probably watch those, and maybe get out of the house sometime. 


Sorry if you are a normal reader of my blogs (if there is anyone haha) and I haven't been writing in it as much. Nothing really has been going on in my life but work, and a little school haha. So I will try to make my life more interesting so you have something better to read lol.

Mmmmk

Well here we are again. Let's just say this job is kicking my butt. I am not able to do much of anything anymore. Today is my day off, well day one of three, and I was planning on doing homework. I just finished one assignment and it about killed me. It is so hard for me to focus on school anymore. Once November starts I am going to kick it into gear and kick some psychology butt. I won't be on the November schedule for work, because I "quit" and what not. If you did not know that.... well now you do haha. It was in my blog a while back. 
Today I had my meeting with my counselor at the college. She told me basically a lot of things I already knew but also a lot of things that I didn't know. I have to take a few classes next semester in order to get into the LPN program in the fall, but she said that should not be a problem. There were a few unexpected classes in there, such as another math class, and just a USU titled class. So next semester my classes will consist of Microbiology (which is a 5 hour long class), math, Medical Terminology, and possibly anatomy. They told me I might not have to take anatomy again, so let's keep our fingers crossed. 
So LPN program in the fall, and RN by 2013. How exciting. So I will be a LPN by summer of next year (as in 2012). Wow I am so excited. Hope I don't get my butt kicked.... actually I am expecting to get my butt kicked, so I'll be holding on tight haha.
I am thinking of ideas for another tattoo. I know my mom is going to be pretty upset, but she was also upset about my last one until she saw it, and realized I'm not stupid, and got something tasteful. So this one will also be tasteful and have a lot of meaning, and also in a place that can be hidden. So the process begins! I am very excited. I said I wouldn't get another one, but I just feel like I want to. Maybe 2 is my number? We will see! I love you mom, don't unlove me please. You will love it I promise, I would never get something you wouldn't approve of .
So yes, that is all. Ryan has a hockey game tonight in about 2 hours, so that will be great. Then who knows. Maybe some more homework we will see. 

 Before I know it, I'll be walking out to this.... ughhhh snow :( stay far far away for as long as possible pleaaaase!

Starting over?

I feel like a lot has happened in the last couple days, and really nothing has haha. I just tend to get myself worked up over something that's really not that big of a deal. As most of you know, I got a new job when we got back from Effingham, and I really do like this job. Somehow I find myself enjoying it, when usually I am cleaning toilets or mopping lol. I think the part of it that I really liked was that I got home at about 3 in the afternoon, and working in the morning goes by really fast.
Now with that being said, there is an extremely bad side to this job. That is basically the only shift there is, 6 am to 3 pm. Everyone works that shift. So I figured since I had online classes this semester it would all be okay. Well it's not. I get up pretty easily in the morning, and am awake and okay to work, but by 3 I am sooooooo tired. All I want to do when i get home is sleep. And I definitely know I do not want to be doin homework. So let's just say my grades have not been doing so hot. I have 4 tests next week and I have not studied for any of them. I am basically just hoping to pass them.
I recently decided to change my major to nursing. I kind of have done this before but not officially. I just started taking the pre classes for it. Then I decided I wanted to just go back and do psychology. And now I know that I want to do nursing. What great timing hu? I could be finished already..... I have been out of high school long enough to already have this degree. But I was so undecided with what I wanted, all I was doing was changing my mind all the time. And moving here to Utah, we had to take all of their general classes that did not transfer over.
So basically, I am just now starting, well I will be in the fall. This makes me extremely upset, knowing I am this behind, when I could be finished, but I am not giving up. I am going to do something great with myself, not only for myself, but for Ryan and our future family. 
Back to the original story, I told my boss about it, and I am basically "quitting". I don't like saying that, because it sounds so bad. I feel awful about it too, they are all so sweet, but I have to do what is best for me. I am going to keep looking for a new job, that can work more flexibly with my school schedule. 
That is the news!! Not last night, but the night before was when I planned that I was going to tell her. I could not sleep for the life of me. I was so nervous, and felt so awful. I am just glad it went well, and she was extremely sweet about it. She actually wanted to keep me working, because she said I was a great worker, but she understands that school comes first. 
Yes, ma'am. That's the news in my life for the last couple days. Nothing too cool, but it has been a constant thing. Always on my mind, feeling bad, and not knowing what to say. I'm just lucky to work with amazing, understanding people. 
New job......... call me ;) hahaha I'll be waiting. Randi needs monies lol

The reason for anything, and everything I do ^^^^^ I love him 


"You make me smile like the sun
Fall outta bed
Sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild.... oh you make me smile! "

Randomness

Last night of vacation for a while, and I'm really sad about it. It feels like work has taken over my life, and it's not supposed to do that just yet! lol. School is supposed to be my life right now, but it has taken a back burner to work. Now, I will admit that I do like my job, and I love the people I work with, so I do not mind going, it's just such a tiring/time consuming job. Oh well, gotta get a paycheck right?

Ryan had his official first hockey game of the season and he did absolutely amazing! He scored 3 goals and got one assist. He was the star of the team haha, but seriously he was. I was proud. I have some pictures that I took but my phone won't send them for some reason. But eventually I will get them up.

Got myself a dentist appointment finally. First time since I have been in Utah, actually the first time in several years... I know *tisk tisk*, but they have just been so darn sensitive lately, that I can't take it much longer. So got that settled, not till November so hopefully my teeth don't fall out before then haha. And finally got a meeting set up with my counselor to change my major!! I'm excited but nervous at the same time. This is for me, and I know it, I just gotta keep with it, and work hard!

Oh! Oh my goodness, I have been sitting here forever now trying to think about what to talk about... and I remembered something I was really looking forward to talking about... ahhhh goodness. I was wanting to speak about books! I know a lot of you out there do not read on a regular basis, but I love to read. I go through phases though, where I don't read for a while, then just read constantly. I just recently started a book called The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd. It's the same lady that wrote Secret Life of Bees, which just so happens to be one of my favorite books ever! And so far it is pretty darn good. If any of you girls out there, or guys I guess like to read here are a few suggestions for you. They are mostly girly books though. Secret Life of Bees of course, The Pact by Jodi Picoult, The Host by Stephanie Meyer, anything by Carl Hiaasan (he is so great), The Hunger Games series, and lots and lots more I could recommend. I am trying to get back into my reading groove, because I really do love it.

So if anyone out there that is reading this, loves to read also, and has a really good book, you should let me know! We look at WalMart every week at the new books, and when we are in Provo we always go to the book store.

Well I'm off to work on some homework, because I work the next 5 days straight, and I'm going to wayyy to tired to work on homework. Have a great night everyone!

Miss me some H Dog!

Oh Snap!

As I have told you guys before, I am an addict to youtube. I am subscribed to about a zillion channels. Occasionally they will have giveaways for their subscribers. They will give away makeup products or purses, or just about anything you can think of. Well, one of the people I am subscribed to had a give away for some eyeshadows, and I entered. All you had to do was comment and tell her what your favorite eyeshadow is, and you were entered. Well guess who won! ME! I was soooo excited when I found out. I have entered quite a few contests on there and finally I won one. I couldn't believe it. So awesome. So I should be receiving them eventually! 

Today was kind of a sad day in a way. I took out all of my summer clothing and put in the winter clothes. Time has went by so fast! Today I wore jeans and a long sleeve shirt. It's pretty crazy. I know back home it has been in the 80s or something crazy. Before we know it, there is going to be snow on the ground here, and I am not looking forward to it, but I am prepared with my clothes now haha. 

Tomorrow is Ryan's first hockey game, so I plan on taking a ton of pictures. I am a proud girlfriend. :) Also, gotta pay some bills tomorrow, and maybe some needed shopping. We will see what happens. Oh and I have a meeting at work! I can't forget that..... better set an alarm, that would be bad if I missed it. I missed the last one because I was in San Diego so I can't miss this one. 

That's about all I have for tonight. Kinda a boring day, but also amazing day off. I loved it. Watched some True Blood and just hung out. So I'm gonna paint my nails and surf the web because I really do not want to work on schoolwork. Maybe I'll work on the scrapbook, that sounds like a great idea, I haven't done that in a LONG time. Welp, sorry this was boring today, but today was just a laid back day!

Love you guys, and miss you all like crazy!

From Utah with love,

Randi

 My girls, I love them so so much, and miss them like crazy! Love this picture, we were all so happy :)

Religion.

3 day vacation!!! Heck yeah! I am so excited for this. Today was a long day. I had to work 6:30am to about 7:15 pm. I had a break in there, but it kinda sucked knowing I had to go back. But it wasn't too bad, I had to train for the night shift. Went well, but I am so glad to be done for 3 days. 
So as the title says I am going to talk about religion. I hadn't been thinking about this, until my drive back to work after my lunch break today. A song came on the radio, and no matter when I hear this song, no matter where I am, or no matter who I am with, it instantly brings me to tears. It is such an amazing song, and absolutely beautiful. I will post a link for it, and definitely check it out, so you can see what I am talking about. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC6RXAJpPjo&feature=related 

Let's just say, there was instant bawling driving back to work. Now, I definitely think, if i was a person reading this I would be like "wow Randi, you are being such a hypocrite". And I say this because I do not go to church anymore. I was raised really religiously. I went to a private school from first to eighth grade, and went to church every weekend, sometimes twice a weekend. But as I grew up, I went less and less to church to the point where I do not go anymore, and I couldn't tell you the last time I did. 
I personally feel that if someone goes to church, but drinks and smokes, and sins outside of church makes them less devoted to God than someone like me. I do not smoke, and do not drink (if I do, it's like one drink once every so many months). I work to support myself and my boyfriend, and  when I'm not at work I am focusing on something positive such as school, my family, or my boyfriend. I believe that since I have stopped going to church I have become more of a loyal, faithful person to God. 
I have turned my life around, found the love of my life instead of just finding myself in awful relationships, and made some big life decisions. 
Jesus is in my heart, and we have our relationship there. I don't need to flaunt that to other people in a church or by being overly obnoxious about my religion. The people who do that only make me upset. You are not being true about your relationship with Jesus if you are only trying to pronounce it all the time, for others to see. 


So that was my little rant/talk. I know that I could be more involved in my faith, it can always use work. But my relationship is there, and I am happy with that. Jesus is doing some great things for us right now. He is bringing Ryan's family all together here in Utah, he is leading me to my true life career (slowly with some speedbumps), but I know I'm getting there, and he brought me to Ryan. Although we may not see it, his little works are all around us, you just really gotta take time sometimes to look for them. 

So on a normal note, Ronnie is up on the mountain huntin for an elk.... so hopefully he comes home with one! That would be so great. Fill up the freezer for a long time haha. 
Tomorrow is a lay around all day/ watch True Blood day. And let me tell you I can NOT wait :) :) haha. 
Well, hope this doesn't offend anyone, but it's just my opinion and some things today lead me to want to write about this today.
Randi

                                      Early morning at work.... was super tired.
 

My favorites at the moment!

Okay so here we go. I said I was going to do my favorites of just about everything right now. Give some people ideas of things to check out, and for girls I'll talk about makeup and clothes stuff like that. Because like I said I could never do youtube, nobody would want to watch me haha.And I know I enjoy knowing about things before I buy it, or watch it, or whatever it should be. So yep, here goes nothing! :)

First of all my favorite show right now definitely has to be True Blood. We are not caught up with the series, we are renting through Netflix, but I just can not get enough of it. I love Sookie, she's so great. I guess that takes me into something else. I would recommend people joining Netflix. Blockbusters are officially going out of business, so we are all going to have to find somewhere else to turn. Netflix!! It's cheap, and you can get whatever you should want, also you get free streaming to your tv, through an X Box or other things. The streaming has movies, tv shows, just about every genre of everything. So look into it! 

My favorite song at the moment is Ego by Beyonce, or Smash Into You also by Beyonce. I'm not really up with the times on music, because I have an Ipod and I just listen to what's on it, and don't know what's new and cool. So this is probably old songs, but I'm loving them a lot right now. Check them out, I know you will like them... so do it!

I guess I could also say some other shows I am watching at the moment but they aren't really a surprise or anything. Jersey Shore and Teen Mom. Yeah, I'm one of those girls. I can't get enough of those shows. I am behind on Teen Mom because the MTV website is not working on that episode... :( so soon enough I will catch up. Also!! On October 31st aka Halloween, a new tv show on AMC will be starting, called The Walking Dead. It's by the guy that did Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile, and The Mist. Zombies!! Ahhh it's going to be great. Be sure to watch that on Halloween, perfect opening night!

Hockey is the next favorite. I'm not the biggest fan, and I watch it because of my boyfriend, but seeing how happy it makes him not only watching it but playing it makes me really enjoy it, and learn more about it. Even if you aren't really that into sports, I think you would enjoy watching hockey, it's a pretty awesome sport to watch. Go Devils :) haha

Now onto the girly stuff. As for makeup I am all about cheap. I don't use foundation so I couldn't help you out in the area. I was going to start using it but its tooooo expensive. Mascara is my thing. Right now I am using Maybelline The Falsies, which I like a lot. And I also use Rimmel London The Max Volume Flash (pink bottle). Both of them are great! But I love trying different ones. The next one I plan on getting is Voluminous. I've mainly been using a color called Precious Taupe for eyeshadow, it's from Avon. I have had it forever, and found it in my drawer, so I don't know if they still sell it. All of my other eyeshadows are LA Colors. All the palettes are a dollar at the Dollar Tree. I really like them. I don't know if they are for everyone though, I'm just a cheapy and make it work. That's about all for makeup... I don't wear a lot. I'm lazy haha. 
For perfume I mostly use Bath and Body Works body mists or whatever. Fresh Cotton, Twilight Woods, Rainkissed Leaves, or Deep Aqua. For perfume it's Sunflowers or DKNY Be Delicious (the Green Apple). Those are all the perfumes I own haha, and I switch it up every day. 
Shampoo and Conditioner will always be Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship. Smells amazing, and makes my hair feel awesome. 

As for clothes, it is getting colder so the wardrobe is changing up a bit. Now I'm shopping for lots of cardigans. I love a cardigan over a plain shirt with a nice long necklace. Jeans and cardigans is what my wardrobe consists of. And sweatshirts of course. 
Last but not least, I will have to say candles are always on my favorites list. But the smell right now that we are loving is Pumpkin Spice. Such a great fall smell, especially with Halloween coming up.

Oh wait!!! Also, Cinnabon cereal... YUMMMMMY!!! love love love it! It's new, so go get it! You will not be disappointed, at least I wasn't. 

Well that was long, but I like informing everyone, cause I know I like to hear other people's, it helps with the decision making process when you are at the store!

If you didn't enjoy that, I'm really sorry. But someone out there will hopefully find something they will like from this! Oh p.s. get paid tomorrow, and got the stub today.... Randi is very happy.... all the hard work, early mornings, and long days, paid off :)

And.... hockey begins!

Tornado warning!? Whaaaat? It hardly rains here, let alone ever have a tornado. It was kinda scary for a while there, but it's starting to clear up a bit now. Today was my day off and let me just tell you it was extraordinary. I loved it. I slept till about 11:30 then rolled outta bed showered, and went out on the town with my boy toy. haha Just boring errands, but it was really nice. Then around 5ish we went and signed Ryan up for hockey! First game is Monday night! I'll definitely be taking pictures. I took some last year, but I am going to try and get more this year. Hockey means the world to this boy.

That was basically our day. Came back home and I worked on some homework, and now I am just hanging out till I have to go to bed in about an hour and half. Oh, and while we were signing Ryan up they had a flyer up about a college game here in Vernal on Friday and Saturday. So we are definitely going on Friday. Saturday I have to work till 7:30 and the Rangers play their first regular season game that night. So there is no way Ryan is going to miss that. Let me set up the scene for you...Ryan is on the bed watching the game, and I walk in the room.... "Babe, let's go to the game!" 
                                                                       "Uh no, the game is on."
                                                            "You can just record it, and this is in real life!"
                                                                           "THE GAME IS ON! SHHHH!"
  I would then proceed to attempt to pull him off the bed, and he will magically obtain claws, and claw the bed so I can't pull him off. 

So with this being the scene that I am getting in my head when I think about going to the game, I am just going to steer clear of that LOL. Okay that's not really how it would go, but I already know the answer if I should ask haha so I'll save myself the time. Plus I will probably be pretty tired anyways. Working a 13 hour day is going to make me a teeny bit tired.

So as most of you may know, or not know... heck I dunno, I watch a lot of youtube videos. I am subscribed to so many channels. Most of these channels are beauty or fashion related. A lot of them do like "September Favorites" or whatever month it is. I think I am going to do that on here, considering I would fail on youtube, this is pretty close to it. And as a girl I like to know what things other people are using or cheap clothing places. I like to know if things are good before I chose to buy them. So, I hope others would enjoy that as well... if not then TOO BAD lol. Just kidding that was mean, but really, I would enjoy doing them, so I would hope people would like reading about it. 

Well that's all for now! I never have a cool picture for the times I just ramble so let's see what I can find again.

The first picture was probably a month or two before Ryan and I started dating. The picture has me, Ryan, his brother Chris, my boyfriend at the time/Ryan's best friend Adam, and my best friend Annie. Such a great picture.
And the second one explains itself haha, Kevin hangin in the sink :D

More San Diego

ISo I have come to realize, that I said I was going to talk about San Diego in each blog post, and yet I have not done that. Ugh I'm such a bad blogger lol.

Anyways, let's see... eventually the weather got much nicer out so we were able to actually go and lay out on the beach. Although swimming was pretty sucky because the water had hypothermia written all over it. I did get in once though, took my brother talking me into it for about 5 minutes, but I did it. Oh yeah! The first day we actually got out and about, the first nice day, was the day we rented bikes. I know it looks cloudy in the picture but that was like 10 in the morning, and it cleared up after that. But literally just from riding bikes around for a few hours.... I got fried!! Didn't notice it till that night. Everyone knows how that goes. Something about later in the night makes sunburns the most embarrassing they could ever possibly be.

The room was extremely nice, well the entire resort was. It had it's own little private inlet beach, and it was only a few minutes walking distance from the ocean. We were all excited when we got there, and on the little table are "complimentary" big water bottles. So we are thinking how awesome that is we will just put them in the fridge and they will be cold for when we go out walking. So we drink one, and still have the second one left in the fridge for later. A few days later they put new ones in the room, and I am bored so I read the little tag on it. "Have this complimentary water on us. Five dollars will just be added to your room bill." WTF. Complimentary.... riiiiiiight. hahaha. So we caught it in time and put the little tag on one of the bottles we had in the fridge and didn't have to pay for it. What kind of bs is that? 

Ryan, my dad, and I decide to head to the pool/hottub that night. It's kinda a far walk from the room, cause we were in the back of the property. So that blew, but it was worth it, because the hottub was going to be amazing. We get there, and a couple is getting up and leaving, and there is some weird guy just hanging out. How typical hu? There is always that one awkward person in the hottub or even just around it, when you are wanting to get in and relax. So he decides to have a talk with us, which keep in mind none of us could understand a word he was saying. Eventually he "had a date with the back of his eyes" he said, so he had to get a move on. Thank goodness!!! We had the place to ourselves. It was pretty awesome. 

So that's just a little more of the trip. There is definitely more to talk about. So keep checkin back because I will remember to put more in each blog. And if I forget I will make one just for it, like I did this one. 

You can see the hottub behind us in this picture. 

Beach time!! :D

Our resort.

 

The Usual

Today was a typical work day. Nothing special, asked off for the concert next month! :D  That's a big deal right!? I'm very excited about it. I'll post some links to some of the songs by the band if you have never heard of them. Regardless if you have heard of them or not, you should listen to these songs, they are great. Off the new album! Actually I'll put an older song, and a new one.

Enjoy those! I am definitely looking forward to the concert, it's going to be crazy!
I have the day off tomorrow, and I'm planning on going and meeting up with my counselor at the school to do some changing here and there. Hoping this is the last time I will change my major, and I will stick with it this time. I had a long talk tonight with my second mom, April, and I know I gotta pick something and give it my all. So that is what I'm going to do. The only bad thing is that if I do that, I can not work this same job because I am going to have to be studying and working on school work as much as possible. So yep!! *fingers crossed!
It is so crazy that it is October already! I seriously can not believe it. Gonna pack up the summer clothes this weekend. :( But October is a great month and I am really looking forward to all the fun things to happen this month.


Well that's about all I got over here haha. Let's see if I can find a fun picture..... So this post wasn't all boring! 

                                             Lol pretty amazing, I know!!! :) Enjoy hahaha                                            

Smash Into You

I wanna run.... smash into you....

Ahh I just love that song! I know I wrote a few blogs back about a song that I really loved, but this one is the new favorite. Check it out!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuOHjDcYyXY
 I really can not stop listening to it. It makes me happy :)

So Ryan signs up for hockey on Wednesday and I can say that I am extremely excited! The games interfere with his class, so he is not sure if he wants to sign up or not. He can do the work at home by himself. The class is distance learning anyways, so he basically is doing it all himself. I think he should do hockey, because he absolutely loves it, and it makes him soooo happy! I love seeing him that happy, so it would hurt to see him missing out. So we will see what he chooses come Wednesday.

                                                      That's my man... number 19!

Today was a pretty crappy day here in Vernal. Usually I get pretty excited to see the sunrise in the morning through the windows at work, but today it just didn't happen. Maybe for an hour or so, but not very long. So I think that made the day seem even longer. I keep thinking I'm going to wake up to snow, but luckily it hasn't made it's arrival yet. But soon enough it will grace us with it's presence... ughhh. Gross. haha I know some people absolutely love snow, but I'm just not one of those people. I would rather be wearing shorts and t shirts every day of the year. But I guess Utah isn't the place to be for that... maybe some day!

 
                                             Outside my window right now.... blah.

Well today was just another boring, exhausting, day.  Off to have another tomorrow! Woo hoo! If anyone else is having a hard time in life right now, and things just aren't going the way you would like, just know that I am right there with you, you are not alone! We are in it together! Things will get better.... that's what I keep telling myself! haha
Love you guys, miss you like crazy!

Feels like my plate can always be stacked higher and higher

Can I just clean my plate for once!? It just keeps accumulating things, and becomes extremely overwhelming. I know I am getting older and more responsibilites should be put on my shoulders, but I am only 21 about 105 lbs, my shoulders can only bear so much weight. 
I have a job, but the bank account sure does not show that. I have bills to pay and a gas tank to fill. I am fortunate enough to not have many other typical bills that a 21 year old would have, but those numbers in my bank account aren't holding me above water. It's extremely stressful, and I find myself being extremely depressed and taking it out on the one I love the most. Our life was so much easier in Effingham. I find that we are arguing more here than we ever did there. Is Vernal taking a toll on me? I do think so. I can't just let Vernal take away my life, and that is what it feels like is happening. I guess I need to step up my game, not sure what that means just yet, but I have plenty of time to think about it.

Anyways, on a less depressing subject! Let's talk some more about A-mazing San Diego. We found ourselves walking down to the boardwalk quite a bit. The beach, regardless what beach, is just a breathtaking place. I could go and never leave. It gives me a feeling of awe and happiness. We rented bikes one day and rode along the boardwalk. Probably my favorite day of the entire week we were there. So beautiful. Mom and I toured an 8 million dollar beach house. I can only dream! haha. That night we just spent time with my brother and his friend Chris. We went and toured some amazing boats and submarines. After that we went and ate in Little Italy. Never order the meat and cheese trays! Bunch of lies! haha. It was tiny, and not good. Cost 18 bucks! haha but seriously.... don't order it. 

Well, I got homework to catch up on, and get to sleep to be up and at work at 6:30 in the AM. Boo! Welp I love you all, and hope I'm not too depressing for ya'll. haha
