Well, hello there again folks.
So yesterday, I attended my very first Headley Thanksgiving. Let me paint you a picture... 30 people or so, about 10 of which are kids... LOTS of food... Football games... It was amazing. There was SOOO many people though. Lol. And there was one particular child who is quite... loud for lack of a better word, and he was especially loud yesterday. Let me just tell you, I had a headache the size of Montana. Lol. But eventually he wwent home, and everything was fine.
Unfortunately, I didn't get any sort of nap in, in the afternoon, so black friday was difficult. Yesterday was my first real black friday experience, and it was insane. We started off at Walmart, and it was a mad house!! There were thousands of people in that store, and people were fighting, and running around for toys and movies and things. It was nuts. I can say, though, that I had quite a good time. It was almost... exillerating. Lol. THEN we got into line to check out... we were 4th... and it took 45 minutes!! The first check out that we were at, the debit card machine wasn't letting you swipe... ok, we moved back a check-stand. THEN there was this couple... Their card was declined, and no joke, that's what took 25 of the minutes!! Lol. It was the longest process ever! They ended up having to have one of their moms come and pay for their ENORMOUS purchase... and it was crazy. Then, once we finally checked out, we went to sit in line at Kohl's. This was THE WORST part of the night. Unfortunately, Kohl's didn't open until 3, and it was only about 1 oclock, so we sat in line for 2 hours in below 30 degree weather!!! I was soooo cold, my bones were aching. I ended up having to wuss out, and go sit in the car for a while. I ended up making into Kohl's alive, and I got the CUTEST "Baby's First Christmas" ornaments for Greenlee and Lucas! It was a fun shopping find! I also got Christmas cards, and I'm excited to start filling them out right after I finish this blog :) :) :) :) :) Then we went to Target. We didn't have to wait very long, maybe 10 minutes. (Though, don't get me wrong, it was still freezing. My body had not quite recovered from the Kohl's coldness.) We went in, go what we need, and got out in under an hour. It was lovely. We made a few stop on the way home, and I was in bed before the sun came up.
All in all, a good first black friday.
I need addresses for christmas cards!! Text me, or message me on facebook if you'd like one :)
(Personally, I LOVE getting "snail mail") Lol.
Until next ime.
I love you.

So my cousin Christina...
posted this "note" on facebook, where she posted 30 random facts about herself, and then tagged people to the same. I don't post a lot of notes on facebook anymore, but I do post on here, so here it is :) I worked on these for like 3 weeks. Lol. I honestly couldn't think of 30 interesting facts about myself, but I tried. :)
1. I am secretly afraid of closed shower curtains. I have watched too many scary movies, and seen too many unsuspecting girls die because of closed shower curtains. Lol. This is a legitimate fear.
2. I love movies. I don't just love movies... I am basically obsessed with them. If I could get paid to watch movies, that would be my dream job :)
3. I love to read. I mostly read novels called "chic-lit". Books about women (usually written by women) for women. I also can't read more than one book at a time. The story lines start to run together.
4. I secretly wish I could tell people what I think of them. I have this fear of offending people, because I'm a people pleaser, and with some of the people in my life, if I told them what I truely thought, they may not like it.
5. I honestly believe that you have to be 100% happy being single before you find the one person you are meant to be with. I think it's ridiculous running around chasing guys just to feed your ego.
6. I love candles. On my bathroom counter right now is Pumpkin Spice from Bath and Body Works.
7. I'm really good at faking being happy. Enough said.
8. I am an OCD-level organization lover.
9. I love having my nails done. Painted or acrylic.
10. I have had 2 babies enter my life in the past month or so (not mine obviously), and I love them both.
11. I get overly annoyed when people are grammatically incorrect in their text messages.
12. I appreciate sleep more than most people. I would sleep all the time if I could.
13. My favorite TV shows are (in no particular order) The Golden Girls, The Facts of Life, and Grey's Anatomy.
14. When my dad was terribly sick over the months of August and September, I secrelty feared that I would never have a father/daughter dance, and it still makes me cry to think about it.
15. I love the holiday season. Not the holidays. Just the season.
16. I feel like an epic failure when people talk about their classes at school, because I'm not taking any.
17. I love to be scared. Even though in the moment, I'm usually practically crying.
18. I wish I'd had siblings closer in age growing up.
19. I love post-its.
20. I, once in a while, am a facebook stalker. Everyone has moments.
21. I prefer black pens to blue ones.
22. I love Shadow Hills, and all of the people there, but once in a while I miss Canyon Ridge beyond belief.
23. I can go through all 32 levels on Super Mario Brothers without dying, and without skipping any levels.
24. I want to name my kids using Bible names.
25. I want to work a basic reception/office job for a career because I like routine.
26. I want to live in like... Colorado or some place considerably more green than Vegas.
27. I rode Cat Buses last year when my car was busted.
28. I am conservative and proud of it.
29. I don't like cheesecake.
30. I am happy that I found the most amazing man in the entire world, and I'm excited to spend the rest of my life with him.

Weekend to remember.
This weekend has been crazy.
Thursday morning, I woke up super early and went with Liss Liss aka Melissa to get her braces put on, and then we grabbed lunch and went to her house. Vegging all afternoon and watching super girly movies make the day amazing.
I saw the movie "Unstoppable" over the weekend with my favorite girls, Mo, Matt C., and Willum. It stars Denzel Washington, which is one of favorite actors EVER! :) It was a really good movie. I definitely recommend it to everyone.
Today was fun. I definitely was NOT really excited to get up early to go to church, but I made it. Service was good. Pastor is an awesome speaker, and I love that I get something out of every single week's lesson. The worship today was really good... very soulful... and the 3 girls that sang on the end had some very nice harmonies. :) Bible study was good, but of course, our room was freezing...
Tonight we had a surprise 21st birthday party for Chelsea Schoenbeck from church. She was totally surprised, and seemed to genuinely enjoy herself. Unfortunately, she wasn't feeling to well, but she still seemed to have fun.
Funny story... Lauren Poulin had to write an essay for english class, and she totally wrote about Tonya/Tammy. I think it's hilarious. Hopefully her teacher likes it as much as I did.
Well, that's about all I have to say.
Until next time loved ones.
I love you.

I had quite a day yesterday.
So, here is a run-down of my day yesterday.
I woke up in a decent mood... watched a few minutes of a Grey's Anatomy re-run, and went to work. I called my papa on the way, and he told me that he took 40 step yesterday using a walker, which was of course good news.
Got to work, and started talking with my co-worker about what I'm going to do with my life... like career wise, and the reason I'm not in school is that I have NO IDEA what I want to do, and I didn't want to waste thousands of dollars until I figured it out. But unfortunately, because I feel like EVERYONE around me has already answered the "What do you want to be when you grow up?" question, when I talk about it, sometimes I feel like a total failure. Lol. And I know it's ridiculous, and I know there are lots of people not in school... but that doesn't change how I feel.
THEN
My kids at work yesterday were especially... difficult. I don't want to say that it was ALL the kids, but it was definitely the majority of the problems. There were kids who couldn't keep their hands to themselves. There were kids licking other kids... and there were kids with too much attitude. Lol. All of this is a daily occurance, but yesterday it seemed amplified, in part because I was already grumpy, and partially because Thursdays are the "almost Friday" day, and the kids are extra jittery... Bad Mood + Wild Kids = Worse mood. Lol.
THEN
I went to Grey's night with my favorite girls :) These girls that I see on Thursday nights are amazing :) We swap stories, talk about boys, and eat some YUMMY food. (Thank you Caitlyn and Mama Key)
THEN
I went over to the apartment that Matthew is now sharing with Darrin Capps and Gary Andrews, and we watched the discovery channel... lol. Yes, we're those people. And then Darrin came home, and we played Mario Kart, the original N64 version, and I hated it. I ahd already had a sucky day, and I literally lost EVERY round, so that actually made my mood worse. Lol.
Today I feel a little bit better, thanks to Matthew and a few good friends :)
But I just needed to vent about my day. :)
Thanks for listening.

Life has been interesting to say the least.
The last time I posted was in October...
Here's what's happened since then...
My papa has taken over 20 steps with a walker. :) They are SLOWLY building up his muscle mass, because it all wasted away during his hospital stay. They moved him to a new facility across town, so I haven't been able to visit as often as before, but I call him at least twice a day, and we discuss the days' events. :) It's nice being able to talk to him finally. He was literally a lump for sooo long, and now it's almost.... wierd hearing his voice... But I love it :)
In other news, I FINALLY got to go visit my sweet little baby Lucas. :) In case you have no idea what I'm talking about, Lucas James Salzman was born in October to Karin and Jeremiah Salzman, and he is perfect :) I'm going to be his full time nanny when his mommy goes back to work, and I am SOOO excited. He is soo sweet, and his little smile is amazing. :) Karin and Jeremiah are super lucky to ahve that little angel :)
Grey's Anatomy night at the Key house has become a weekly staple in my life. :) Getting together and chatting with those girls is awesome :) We catch up on the week's events... it's fun :) Lol. Those girls are amazing.
We just had an election a few days ago. UNFORTUNATELY Harry Reid got voted back into office for our senate seat, and I don't understand why. He's done nothing but ruin the nevadan way of life these past 6 years, and for some idiotic reason, people went and asked for more unemployment, no new jobs, and basically another sucky 6 years... Way to go Reid-voters. You basically just screwed Nevada over for another 6 years. For the record... I voted for Sharon Angle. She may not have been the best choice for the job... but she was BY FAR the BETTER CHOICE.
And last, but definitely not least, I'm still madly in love with Matthew. I realize this isn't really an "update", because everybody and their grandmothers know about this... BUT, I thought it should be restated. He's amazing. :) He's recently moved out, and has since started living with Darrin Capps and Gary Andrews from our church. These guys are amazing, and Matt is doing very well :) I love him more than I can put into words, and I am SOOO proud of him.
Well, that's about all for now folks. I love you.
