Things And Such

So basically life has been uber busy lately. I have one week left of my Pharmacy Computers and Databases class, which has actually been a breeze and pretty cool, as well as my Pharmacy Drug Essentials class...which I am very much looking forward to being rid of. Heh. :p I'm putting in my two weeks notice at Roadhouse, because I absolutely have to find a better income. I've been there an entire year -- WOAH time went by FAST! Haha, man I'm going to miss so many aspects of that job. Just not the job itself. Ya dig? ;p The question is when will I be putting in my two weeks. Haha I just can't seem to convince myself 100%. Which is actually quite stupid and crazy of me. But it's OKAY! ;)
Other things that have happened: my friend (of 11 years) Sean graduated from Myotherapy Massage School!!! CONGRATS and GOOD JOB, Sean!! We're all so very proud of you!!
Let's see...OH OH OH.....I have a new niece!!!!!!!! Her name is Maleah and she was born on Friday October 21st at 1:37 pm Ohio time. She was 7lbs 6oz, and I was the closest with my guess of 7lbs 7oz. Woo! Go me! She has lots of dark, curly hair, and green eyes. She is such a cutie! Everyone is doing fabulously well. :) Aw, I just love family!! Speaking of family, my dear padre is now a whopping 84 years young! That's quite the accomplishment!

Haha this is by far my favorite picture and the timing was just absolutely impeccable.
His birthday was on Wednesday October 26th. My mom and I each got him a present, he got phone calls from some of his kids, and the three of us went out to eat at this delicious restaurant in Payson called Dalton's. They gave him free desert and he was kind enough to share with us ladies. Yum! We continued chilling at home until everyone got sleepy. What a fun night! :) It is just so weird to me to think that my DAD is 84...wow. He looks like he's maybe in his mid to late 60's, the lucky guy. I hope I look as good as my parents do when I'm older. Anywho, I'm trying to think of what else to catch up on with y'all...but my memory is just as terrible as ever, so you might just be stuck with what I've put so far. ;p

Who Needs Sleep?

Pretty sure I need sleep, that's who. Haha and yet I'm still awake and doing random things when I should be counting sheep. Hopefully I'll be able to do okay on my pharmacy test tomorrow. :p Life has been absolutely crazy between school, work, seminars, homework, friends, family, and a little time to myself here and there. I went to lagoon this past saturday with a friend and his family...it was so much fun! ...But I can't ever do that to my body again. Ever. Haha we were there from open to close, so it was a really long day anyway, but my body just can't handle all the rides anymore. Sometimes I swear it's like I'm an 80 year old in a young looking body. :p I'm not really sure why, but I've been having a really hard time concentrating lately, especially in school. The realization I came to is that it's probably because I'm at the 6 month mark, and the 6 and 12 month marks have been proven to be the toughest in any relationship whether with school, a job, or a person. So I guess it makes sense. *shrug* Anyway, I'm going to try to do a little more homework and then hit the sack. I need like an entire week where I can just devote 12-18 hours each day to sleep. Wouldn't that be nice. *sigh*

One More Down!

I just finished yet another module and I only had one class, but my teacher was...well let's just say I was very unimpressed since day 1 and it didn't get any better. BUT, I still got an A for my final grade! YAY ME!!! :D Starting Monday I'll be back to having 2 classes, which I'm actually really looking forward to -- I like being that busy and having that much challenge. :) This past week has been pretty good but also kind of a blur. My memory just keeps going downhill. Heh. One thing I remember doing was I went to a seminar at school about money management, saving, how to make your dollar stretch, etc., and it turned out to be a lot more beneficial than expected. The speaker was one of my professors from a few months back, so I already knew a tiny bit of what to expect in the seminar. Anyway, we got to talking afterwards and he invited me to a seminar up in salt lake city for tomorrow and it's kind of a big deal -- there will be upwards of 2000 people there and he paid for me and reserved a seat for me and everything. Then monday he's going to take me to his office in orem to meet with his broker so I can learn more about money management and how to get the ball rolling with financial stability/security. I'm very excited about the whole thing. This guy is really amazing and is the kind of person who is just good all the way around and gives you another reason to keep believing in humanity. I love people like that. :)

Happy Birthday To Me!

This past week has been absolutely amazing and chalk full of fun and relaxation. Monday I took myself up to salt lake for the day and hung out with a friend of mine for 11 years now, got a 100 minute massage (absolute pure bliss), went out to dinner with the same friend and watched despicable me. We went to Cafe Rio and then a few streets over to this really cute cafe/pastry shop, and he got this super decadent chocolate thing and I got the passion-fruit cheesecake -- oh my goodness, incredibly euphoric. Tuesday I had school, then hung out around town til I had to work, which was just fine. Then Wednesday, my Birthday, I went to school, worked out and tanned, went home and chilled and napped a little and my mom and dad got me this adorable (and delicious, I'll have to upload a picture) cupcake thing, and then I got all showered and ready to go out for sushi with a bunch of my closest friends. After sushi we went to one of their houses for cake and chillaxin. I spent Wednesday night through Saturday evening at my best friend Taylor's house, and Thursday we went up to the airport with our friend Matt's family to welcome him home from his 2 year mission in Brazil. YAY!! I absolutely love Matt, he has been my best guy friend for 11 years, and I just have a very special place in my heart for him. :) Welcome Home, Matt!!! After the airport we all went to the Pizza Factory and then back to their house for visiting and presents -- he gave me the coolest beanie ever and I'm going to wear the heck out of it! The rest of the night Taylor and I hung out at her place because Matt was getting released and doing things with his family. Friday was pretty chill and Tay and I went shopping for my Halloween costume, which is freaking awesome, and then we hung out with the boys again, they came over and we had In 'N' Out for dinner and talked and watched youtube and then Avatar. Then Saturday I watched the first session of General Conference at Taylor's and then the second session at Matt's with him and his brothers, then we chilled for a while and then walked around the mall and goofed off. Then I came home. Haha and as nice as it was to have a vacation, a very lovely and much needed vacation, it's really nice to be home. :)
