So I've been Tagged....

I feel like there is nothing THAT interesting about me to take up a whole post on here but here it goes.....

1) I have a really weird memory. haha I remember the littlest things that really have no importance. For instance there was an incident that happened to me in kindergarten that I will NEVER forget! haha This girl and I had the same backpack, it was purple and had little tiny lighter purple flowers on it. Mine had my name on the inside of it so I wouldnt take hers by accident. Well long story short she ended up taking mine home one day. As a soft hearted 5 year old, I was DEVISTATED! My mom came to the school because I refused to go home with the wrong backpack! We called the girl's mom and they came to the school and swapped. I went to school with that girl until we graduated from high school, she cracked up when I told her that was why I remembered her! haha My siblings make fun of me all the time because I remember things that NOBODY else remembers! Oh well I guess it's my little gift ;)

2) I am EXTREMELY shy! My roomate Jessica told me one time that I am(and I quote) "socially awkward"! Thanks Jess! lol But I do have to agree with her TO AN EXTENT! When I go to a new crowd/place and I am very reserved. If someone comes up to me and starts talking, I will answer them but my answers are normally very short haha. But on the other hand, if people come into my realm of the world lol aka my house, I am everywhere! When I was younger my aunt thought I hated her because when we would go to California, I would hide behind my parents for the first day! haha Not because I didn't like them, just because I am a very shy person. Once I get to know people the "real me" shines through and people are amazed! Im not a big party person because that would mean I would have to be in a room with people I have never seen before...to most people that would mean "make a fool of yourself, you'll probably never see them again" to me that means "stay to yourself, they probably think you are ridiculous!" oh well, I am working on it :P

3) I LOVE LOVE LOVE heels! I am the youngest AND the tallest in my family yet, I refuse to wear flat shoes! lol I better find someone to marry that is a bit taller than me otherwise we might look kind of awkward jk. If you open my closet and look at my shoe collection(which is quite large because I just love shoes, as my wise friend says "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. the way to mine is through shoes!") about 75% of them are heels! Now I'm not talking wannabe heels with like 1/4" of height, I am talking no less than 2" lol. The other 25% is made up of flip flops! I live in AZ, I wear flip flops 12 months out of the year haha.

4) I am obsessed with getting my nails done! Its like my escape and its that one thing that makes me feel pretty all the time! :P I don't care if I have to eat peanut butter and jelly for a week, or be a couple days late on a bill if thats what it takes for me to get the bi-weekly fill! lol I told my sisters and mom that when I turned 16 and got a job, I was going to get my nails done. For the most part I kept my word, sometimes I get tired of them but once they are gone I miss them so I end up getting them done again! haha I'm weird I know but seriously, some people drink alcohol, some smoke, I get my nails done on a regular basis! haha What can I say? There are worse things I could do to escape from the world of a 20 year old full time college student.

5) I remember phone numbers like it's nobody's business! LOL. My mom used to call me her walking phone book. I would just need to hear a phone number one time and I would remember it forEVER! Now that I have a cell phone and your name is your phone number :P, and it has become a talent that has faded slightly. I can still pull numbers out my mind that havent changed since my cell phone days, but new ones are little more difficult.

Ok so maybe that was a little easier than I thought it would be haha. Hope you enjoyed it! And now I tag.....Jessica, Stephanie, and Danielle

So Bad!

I am so bad at this blogging thing...I wait FOREVER and then write a bunch! And then wait FOREVER again to write anymore. I think its because I have this mindset that I can't post something without a picture. But really....that's not true haha. So here is a little update in the life of ME!

School is stressful! The semester is almost over and I think I am failing my math class :(. Note to self: DO NOT TAKE MATH ONLINE;EVER AGAIN! haha Hopefully I can make it at least a C but who knows...math is not my strength. Looking past that, I am loving my major(Elementray Education) and the opportunity I had this semester to work with the class of third graders that I have grown to love in just 10 weeks :). If you didn't already know, I have been doing my "field experience hours" at Whitman Elementary with Mr. Thorson. He has been teaching there since before I was going there in 1993! Haha! He is a great teacher though and is helping me learn alot about my teaching styles by letting me do one on one activities with his students. It has been alot of fun and on Wednesday this week when I realized I am almost done with it, I got sad :( I will miss it alot!

Work is work....haha. I am working for a company called Horizon Technologies in Tempe as their "Customer Service Receptionist" lol I like to put a title on it...makes me feel more important! :P
I can't really complain about it because they have been AWESOME working with me and my school schedule and allowing me to take some time off for my field experience hours. I keep telling myself that I should find something that is closer to home and maybe more in my field of studies..and then I think about how much they have been working with me and doubt that I could get it better anywhere else...so I push that thought away haha.

As far as my hospital scare goes, everything is going good. It was a long 5 weeks of being unbelievably tired and fed up with my body haha. But I had a last followup appointment this last Monday and everything was in the green! YAY! My doctor told me that I just need to keep up on my medications (I guess once you pop, the fun doesnt stop eh? haha jk.) and my diet :/. She said from now on she just wants to see me every six months for regular visits. So YAY! The worst is past! Well except for the stack of bills I get to go home to everyday :/. Haha. But seriously, thanks again to everyone's prayers and thoughts to get me better! It definitly helped!

Lola is getting big! Or at least that's what people keep telling me haha. I see her everyday so I don't notice the change in her as much. Inevitably though, she is losing her cute puppy hair :(. Its sad and I joke that she looks like a cancer dog haha. Her neck hair is all wispy and rough but her hind hair is still tight and curly lol. I guess it will even out soon but in the mean time she just gets to look odd I guess. Her favorite thing is still to bite on fingers and toes. She loves my dad more than anything! She can hear him opening the door or walking down the hall and she will perch herself on the top of the couch and wag her tail all crazy like until he picks her up and loves on her. haha. Some people are afraid of my dad but honestly, just hand him a puppy and he will be your best friend! haha He loves the attention from Lola and I swear looks forward to coming home, if for nothing else, then for her to lick his face haha. She is a good dog and gets better and better with the whole potty training thing everyday.

Let's see what else is going on in my life? hmm....Unfortunatley I am still single :( sad sad sad! A couple prospects in my eye but no action is being taken yet so we will see what happens....maybe at Christmas there will be some more news about that haha. Other than that, not much is going on. Just trying to juggle school, work, and a social life...not to easy, but managable! haha I promise I wont wait so long to put more up about me...We took(well are in the process of taking) family pictures so I will post those up next. Don't worry, if you are confused about the ( ), it will all make sense when I post them haha!
