Thanksgiving, Toofers, and Pups

Thanksgiving was wonderful! The night before we dyed my hair more blonde, so I was just praying it turned out okay haha. It was just the main family here at the house, but still, I didn't wanna look like a goon. In the end,  it all turned out okay, and I really love it. Dinner was sooo delicious. There was so much food, April even made little appetizers! Those could just fill you up in themselves, but I saved my little tummy for dinner, and boy did I pig out. It was amazing. We spent the rest of the night just being lazy and laying in food comas till we left at about 11:30 to head to Walmart for the black friday sales. Oh my goodness was that insane! People are crazy! Especially the people you wouldn't expect, like old ladies and innocent looking girls. My oh my was it scary. We got most of the things we were there to get and made it out alive! 
A few days before that, I had to go to the dentist. Most people absolutely hate going to the dentist. I am blessed to have good teeth, so I am never really worried, except this time. I was a tad bit worried because I haven't been to the dentist in....... are you ready for this..... about 4 years. YIKES! I know, I am bad! It's hard when I don't have my parents to call and make an appointment for me anymore. Luckily, no cavities and my teeth look great ( or so they said haha). The only thing is he said I should of had my wisdom teeth taken out about 2 years ago! Ugh I was so embarrassed haha. Yes, Mr. Dentist, I am awful and don't go to the dentist when I'm supposed to, sorrrry! Soooo, since he said they were "impacted", basically still under my gums but need to be out asap, I had to make an appointment right away. So December 16th is my day! I'm sure I'll have a picture up of my chipmunk cheeks lol. Thank goodness all my school will be over by then so I can just lay in all my laziness for a few days, and not have to worry about anything. 
Ryan made himself a dentist appointment for December 22nd, so we are hoping that everything that week with the surgery and his appointment goes smooothly with no problems, because we want to have a good Christmas a few days after that!

This is my little man, Kada, and mom said on the phone tonight that he is extremely sick, so I'll be thinking about him! Get better lovie!

And this is Miss Bella, Chris' puppy, and she went to the vet tonight for her woman surgery tomorrow, so we can't wait to get her home!

BLS

A lot has happened since I last posted. I sure am behind. On the 16th we went to a Black Label Society concert up in Magna, which is up by Salt Lake City. It was pretty interesting. I really enjoyed myself for a while. There was 3 bands that played before BLS, which wasn't too bad. They were all pretty good. We were front row! Like up against the little bar before the stage. I was really excited about the spots. There was some moshing and what not, but it never hit us so I was extremely grateful haha. They were setting the stage for BLS, the final band, the MAIN band we were there to see. And some huge jerk came up thinking he was going to push us back so he could have a front row spot. We were like "Umm we don't think so, we have been standing here since 6:30, sorry." At this time it was about 10 so we had been there for quite a while, with no one bothering us like this jerk was. He was like "Yes, I am getting this spot. It's a metal concert get over it." Oh boy was I mad!! He was pushing me! A tiny girl, and he didn't care. It got to the point that he was pushing me so hard against the bar, that I couldn't breathe, so I told Ryan we should just let his fat ass in there. I had a few choice words that I screamed in his ear. Some names, and mean things haha. I was sooooo mad. Once the music started, I elbowed him in the ribs as hard as I could, and pinched the back of his arm. I didn't know what else to do!! I was soooooooo angry. This was supposed to be Ryan's night! And this jerk had to ruin it. 
Well once the music was loud enough, I was screaming straight in his ear, on purpose of course, and had my hand up to the music, right in his face so he couldn't see. I'm a straight up B*, and I know it, but this jerk had no right. Especially taking advantage of me, a tiny short girl. So we ended up moving all the way to the back, up on the balcony for the rest of the concert.
The time we were actually up by the stage was pretty awesome though! We got BLS guitar picks, and Ryan got to like fist bump with one of the members of BLS. It was soo awesome. And seeing Zakk Wylde was just amazing up that close. We got in about 3 or so songs before we decided to just move away from that fat jerk. 


All in all the night was pretty great. A few minor setbacks but overall good. Headed back to the hotel, and April opened her birthday gifts, went to bed, and the next morning went to a really nice mall. Got a few shirts, and a new pair of shoes that I really needed. A nice getaway for a few days!


PICTURES COMING SOOON! (as soon as my phone lets me upload them!)

Great Finds

Oh my goodness! I have found a few great deals around town, and I am just so darn excited about them, that I have to blog about it. Now I don't know about you guys, but Ryan and I are constantly burning a candle in our room. We just love the smell, and it's just something about candles that is extremely calming. Well the only bad part about that, is we are constantly buying them. Candles are not cheap people! They are like 5 bucks a piece at WalMart, and that is cheap for candles. So that is where we usually get our shop on, but we decided to go to Kmart for a change, I think because we didn't want to drive all the way to WalMart. Well! Kmart is having a sale on a lot of their candles. Instead of the normal like 6 dollars for one, they were 3 or 4 bucks. So we bought one, but I had to go back today and get 2 more because it's something we are constantly using, and it was such a great price. The one we are burning right now is Banana Nut Bread, and it is sooooooo delicious! I love it. It makes our room smell so yummy. We went back today and got Evergreen, to get in the mood for the Christmas season! And we got Baked Cookies (or something like that). And I am just so excited.... is it lame that I get excited about candles haha? Well I do! And if you do, you should go to Kmart and see if they are having the sale at yours. 

Next! I knew I wanted a large bag for when I start nursing school. But I wanted it to be like... stylish I guess. The look I was going for was an oversized purse, and I wanted leather. There were a few on Forever21.com that I wanted, but they were $32 plus tax and shipping, and I thought that was INSANE! So, I figured I was going to wait till we go up to Salt Lake next week, and was going to look. Today, we went to a local sports store, and everything in there is so extremely overpriced, so I knew I wasn't going to find anything. They sell clothing and shoes and all that stuff too. Well I figured I would look and I found the most amazing bag ever. Okay, it's not exactly what I was going for, but it's awesome. It was 60 bucks with 40% off. Now, if we all do the math here, that makes it around $36 right? Well, I could not bring myself to spend that much money. Even though I LOVED the bag so so much. Ryan and I stood in the store like dorks, talking about this bag, and whether I should get it or not. I knew I was going to get so much use out of it, and in the end it would be worth the money. So I decided to get it. I get up to the register and she said it was $25! WHAAAAAT? I was sooooo excited! So to end a long story, I have my beautiful, most amazing bag, and I can not wait to use it. I will try and post pictures soon. I am too lazy to do it now LOL

That's about all! I finished my book, and started a new one. I just love reading, and I love when I'm actually in the reading "phase". And if you are a reader, you know what I mean. Going through phases of not wanting to read, and then constantly reading. Well I'm in the reading phase and it's awesome.

If you guys are candle feens like me, and you know of a place to get amazing cheap candles, you should let me know. Cheap as in 5 bucks or less. I can't do expensive ones because we go through them like crazy.

Goodnight all! Off to watch my youtube and read :D

New hair! Loving it tons

A Drop In The Ocean

Happy Birthday Dyldo! Today was Dylan's 19th birthday, he's growing up so fast *tear* haha. It was actually a really crappy day outside, but I hope he still had a great day. It doesn't rain very often here, and that's all it did today, kinda a weird day. 
Did a little homework, and just hung out at home. We went to the bank to get some money out, and I went to claim my free small smoothie I won at McDonalds. I won it off of the little Monopoly pull off tab things haha. It was pretty delicious! Wildberry.... check it out ;) lol. But I got money out because April and I got our hair did today! The lady used to have a salon, but now she just comes to your house, so she came over. It was pretty cool. She cut mine, and said if I want it different to call her and she will fix it up for free. I want some things a little shorter here and there, so I will probably give her a call tomorrow. April got her hair trimmed up too. It was nice. And April paid for mine, that dork. I got money out and everything, but she was kind enough to pay for it for me. So THANK YOU April, that was extremely nice of you. 
Whenever I get the whole thing done, I will take a picture and post it. It's nothing too drastic so no worries, just a change here and there. 
Tomorrow Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World comes out on video, so we are going to go pick that up! I am extremely excited. That was my 2nd favorite movie of the summer. I loved it. (Inception being number 1 of course). So we will go get that, and probably have a movie day/night, after we get some homework done of course!
OH and the best news of all!!! At Ryan's hockey game I was talking to some of the girlies and they are going to check around town for some jobs for Ryan. They know a lot of people and said they just love Ryan to death and would love to put in a good word for him, and would be a reference too. They are so great! So hopefully it will open some doors for him! How exciting! Good things are headed our wayyy! I can feel it :)

That's about all, but I do have a song that I am just LOVING right now, and I really wanna share it. It is just so pretty, in my opinion anyways. I just can't stop listening to it. Ryan doesn't like it, but he don't matter! Just kidding, but he don't have to listen to it right!? haha So I'll leave a link below, and listen to it. Goodnight everyone! It's really late, and I should be hittin the hay! Love you alll!

Listen!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Happiness

Happiness..... what to say about that? I know I have been lacking it lately, and I am sure you have all noticed that through my posts. I think I am bringing myself down, and I am seeing it not only in myself but especially in Ryan. He is the closest thing to me and sometimes that can be a bad thing because I choose to target my frustration towards him. 

So after saying this, that I say in all my posts, about me being sad and blah blah blah, I have chosen to build myself a new path. No longer am I going to be upset and sad about myself or other things, I am going to only be positive, and find the positive things in everything. Even if I should be in a situation ever that it is the hardest thing I have ever done, with the hardest situation to be positive or happy, I am going to make myself do that. I know it will make my life so much easier.

I am going to focus on Ryan and myself, and our relationship and our life. Going to put my whole being into making us happy, and making a future for us. I know that once I do that, and focus on us being happy that it will make everyone around us happy, and make just a great atmosphere. Great things will come to us and the people close to us, if we (mainly me) remain positive, and look forward and only forward. Like as if I have blinders on, I can only see the future. 

So if this new me gets to be annoying, don't let me know, don't say anything to me because I am going to immerse myself into it, and put my whole heart into making a great atmosphere, and changing this awful attitude I have. 

To anyone that I have offended or upset because of these posts, I am truly sorry, and I was thinking about no one but myself, and how upset I was at the time. It's time for change!!! :D Let's do this!

Failing at Growing Up?

Long time no talk everyone! It sure has been a while, or at least it feels that way. We are still on the job hunt for Ryan. This place is just difficult and throwing all the obstacles it can in our way, but we are going to prevail. They can't stop us from being happy. So if you are out there job, call us, we are waiting patiently for you!!!!

I talked to my parents last night and my brother tonight. It's always great to hear from them. I miss them a lot so hearing their voice always is great for me. Sounds like things are going great for them, and that is always good to hear. 

Ryan's brother recently moved here to live with all of us. Well he got here on Saturday to be exact, so almost a week! He brought his adorable puppy, Bella, with him, and she is fitting in so well. It's definitely a change having another person and animal in the house, but we are all adjusting quickly, and we are just happy to have him here. Although it's a busy house, things will work out for the best. 

Also, this is my first week out of work. I am only working on the weekends now, and I know I need to get back on weekdays, just maybe one or two weekdays and not 5 in a row. School is flowing much better now that I have more time to focus on it, but there is almost too much free time in there, and I know I could be utilizing it a lot better by working and making money.

Okay here is the subject that I have been thinking about a lot lately. When is the time or age I guess when kids should not be asking for money from their parents any longer? I definitely feel like I have reached that age a long time ago. I never ask my parents for money unless I am at the end of my rope and know I absolutely have to. To me, I find it extremely embarrassing, and it makes me feel... hmm... what's the word... almost like I am failing at growing up and being independent. Now, there are kids out there, in college and even out of college who do not find shame in asking their parents for money, or just randomly spending and basically, in my opinion, throwing away their parents hard earned money. They deserve that money, to spend on themselves and do what they want with it. They worked hard for it, not you. That is why you go out, get a job, and make your own money to use on whatever you want. And I think, when I work hard and earn the money, it feels so much better to buy something for myself with that hard earned money, rather than just running to mom and dad to have them fork it over. I guess all of us have a different level of shame with things like that, and I know my level is off the charts if I have to ask for money. 

Just food for thought. I have been thinking about that a lot lately, since times are hard for pretty much everyone right now. And as a college student working a low waged job, and still trying to go to school, it's hard to have that extra spending money. 

Well I hope everyone is doing well, and had a great Halloween. Thanksgiving will be here before you know it!!! So let's try to be thankful for what we do have, and stop spending carelessly. I know I am going to start working on that here in November!!!

Love you guys!
