Haven't updated my blog for a really long time so here it is. So much has happened over the past 6 months i don't know where to begin so we'll just start with the beginning of school last year. The end of August and the first week of school I got in my first car accident. This was really hard cause i was pretty attached to my car. I seriously loved the thing. It took me a whole month to drive again. Even now if i see any honda accords or go through an intersection I cringe a little.
On to September, I finally turned 21 on the coolest day ever 09/09/09. My family came up to Logan and took me out to lunch and a movie, then that night my amazing friend Michelle threw me a party. We had some delicious cake and ice cream and went bowling. All together it was a great birthday. 2 weeks and 1 day later was Michelle's birthday. Although I couldn't spend the day with her we celebrated that weekend. We ate at Ihop with a group of friends and went to the famous true aggie night that michelle and ryan frequently attend :) It was a great night and i'm thankful for such wonderful friends.
October was filled with lots of fun things. My family and I took a much needed vacation together to wonderful Wendover. I tried my hand at gamling for the first time. There is something about pulling down that lever that makes it so much fun. We had an awesome room and an all you can eat dinner. Wth Halloween just around the corner October was filled with some great activites. We went to the haunted corn maze in Logan, the Pumpkin walk, carved pumpkins and drank hot chocolate. On Halloween Ryan, Michelle and I dressed up in random costumes we had lying around and went to dinner at village inn. After that we had a movie marathon with some of the chessest movies I've ever seen. The H1N1 scare also brought about a girls night in fabulous Salt Lake City. The 3 M's made a girls night out of getting shots for swine flu by going to the Gateway mall. We shopped for a bit and then went to eat at California pizza kitchen. After eating we decided to eat more and went to the McDonalds in the food court. We then went to my house in Murray and watched The Proposal with the always gorgeous Ryan Reynolds. "Hence the boat". Good times. Michelle, Melissa and I woke up bright and early the next morning to get shots when we were told 2 hours later that there was no medicine left. Although the purpose of our trip was not completed it was still an awesome girls night.
November- The month of thanks. I had a lot to be thankul for. My awesome mother had her birthday this month. I hate to admit it but i'm a pretty bad daughter when it comes to her birthday. But Sam and I decided to change that last year. She kept asking me all week if I was able to come home for her birthday and i kept saying no. We surprised her by taking her out to dinner and a movie. I even became crafty and made one of her favorite things....a clock. The next week was Thansgiving and we had a small get together wth my family and Aunt Linda, Uncle Scott, Kim and Weston. I love my family! They are so wonderful and I feel lucky to be a part of such a loving family.
December- December came and went way to fast. Finals week was the second week and surprisingly i was sad to be done with classes. It was a fun semester. With all the free time i started on my job search with no luck. I have applied for so many jobs and it gets so frustrating when not even one interview gets you a job. I like to think that the right job just hasn't shown up yet so i'll just continue looking. The Grinch is by far my favorite christmas movie and even though i watch it all year long it was watched at least 3 times this month. Every year we get together with the Watson family and eat at Sizzler. I never get to see this side of the family so it is always fun to get together with them for the holidays. If you know anything about my family on the Earley side then you know that we are big fans of playing games. So christmas eve we played some games if i remember correctly we played 7-up and apples to apples. Christmas morning we woke up and opened our presents followed by me cooking the annual christmas morning pancake breakfast. My awesome mom and brother pitched in and got me what i really wanted....an Xbox 360. :) We made our rounds to the aunts and uncles houses to see what everyone else got from santa. It was a relaxing Christmas vacation. After christmas I drove back to Logan to hang out with my roomate. For New Years we decided to party in Salt Lake City. Although i didn't get the new years kiss I wanted celebrating the new year with new friends was lots of fun.
January 2010! The beginning of a new year. I don't make plans for the new year but i hoped that this year would be better then the last.....no such luck. A few weeks into the new year my mom was hospitalized. At first they thought it was a stroke but later found out that she had a brain tumor. The surgery went well and I'm glad that she is recovering nicely at the rehab floor of the hospital. Although i'm thankful for the opportunity to go to college, its been hard living so far from home. I'm thankful for the invetion of cell phones to keep in constant contact. I love my mommy and can't wait for things to go back to normal. The week before she came to the hospital we had spent the whole week going out to movies. The movies that made the list was Up in the air, NINE, Sherlock holmes, 500 days of summer and leap year. We love movies and can't wait till we can go again.
Present- School is not my favorite this semester. I have too many group projects to count and I don't enjoy going to class like i usually do. Here's hoping i'll get through this semester. Only two more and I graduate! I had a job interview for a really good company and was sad to hear that due to budget costs I did not get the job. Once this economy turns around and gets them more money I plan on working there. Until then I've tried hard to not spend money like I used to. Thankfully i have friends who are willing to help me out and secretly drop off food on my doorstep :). March is coming up and i'm excited to say that I get to see my favorite singer in concert the wonderful Michael Buble'! My friend Michelle and I are going to the concert together and I have every intention of meeting him. so wish me luck. This will be my second time attending his concert and I hope it will be just as good as last time. Skipping ahead I can't wait for summer. More specifically the family trip to the Oregon coast (my favorite vacation destination!), rafting trip (if i'm still invited this year) and the annual trip to Bear Lake (if we can get the cabin).
I think thats about it for now but I plan on updating this more. (although i doubt anyone reads it) :)
