These are just some quotes I found that I thought were worth sharing...

"You know it's been said that we just don't recognize the significant moments of our lives while they are happening. We grow complacent with ideas, or things or people and we take them for granted and it's usually not until that thing is about to be taken away from you that you've realized how wrong you've been that you realized how much you need it, how much you love it."

"Sometimes i wonder if anything's absolute anymore. Is There Still right and wrong? Good and bad? Truth and lies? Or is everything negotiable,left to interpretation, grey. Sometimes we're forced to bend the truth, transform it, cause we're faced with things that are not of our own making. And sometimes things simply catch up to us."

"There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment you must choose your direction. Will you fight to stay on the path while others tell you who you are? Or will you label yourself? Will you be honored by your choice? Or will you embrace your new path? Each morning you choose to move forward or to simply give up"

Well...when I wrote that last blog I never imagined how it was going to effect things. First, thank you to everyone that made sure I was okay. I was never really not okay, I just needed to write what I did. Yesterday ended up being harder than I had ever imagined, but I'm good now. The only thing that comes to mind is "Fate is a beutiful, beautiful thing" lol. No seriously the result of my blog ended up letting me talk to someone I needed too. I don't feel like this whole thing is done with, but I'm happy with things now. So thank you for understanding and thank you for being there, you know who you are and again I'm sorry but I'm glad we are still okay.

"Guardian Angel watching over me tonight, I'm sorry you got stuck with me, But I'm glad you're by my side"

I knew this was going to hurt....

I guess I just hoped things would work out better. I knew from the beginning that i shouldn't have gotten involved but instead I went against what I knew was right. Now I'm the one hurt and I'm pretty sure that you don't care. I guess I just don't understand how things can go from talking everyday to not talking at all. I want my friend back, and now that is not ever going to happen. The more I think about this, I did nothing wrong. You have hurt so many people, some who don't even know that you hurt them and i don't think you even care. I'm not letting you make me feel like this anymore. I'm done....I miss talking to you, I miss your advice, I miss just hanging out but its not worth me being unhappy and stressed anymore. I don't have the strength to tell you this right now, but maybe one day i will or maybe not. I would like to think that one day this can all be in the past and I can have my friend back, but I can't change how you are so I just have to change how I've been acting and let things work themselves out.

Well..my sister is married and things went pretty good. I was with people for too long...and no time to just do whatever I wanted but other than that things were fine. I also do not like being without a car, thats not so much fun. Here are a few pics from the wedding and rehearsal dinner.






Nothing really exciting this week, just the usual work and school. Then back to Burleson Friday for another wedding.
Annnnd 59 days till I get my Aggie Ring!

Another busy week of school and work, but this past weekend at the parents was fun. Last week every thing that could go wrong did, my dad even came thursday night to help me fix some things. Well okay...he payed for things. The fuel tank in my car had a leak in it and when I woke up Thursday morning there was gas all over the place. I was of course already almost late to work...so that didn't make things better. I was working 8-5 last week because the other guy went on vacation. And instead of a lunch break, I got to go to class so I was already not in a very good mood. Well we took my car to the dealership, I got a rental car, and things were starting to work out. Mostly I was just tired and wasn't getting any sleep, but it was not fun at all.

My car was ready Friday afternoon, so I left work and went and got it then went home to finish packing. $$1600 to fix everything...I don't really even know if my car is worth that much but thats what my dad wanted to do, so now hopefully it will not have any more problems for awhile. I finally left CS and got to my parents around 8:30 and stayed up most of the night working on homework. I finally got to sleep in and it felt great. Then my mom and I went shopping, got pedicures and I got my hair cut. After that I went and played with Dylan for a little while and hung out with my grandparents.

I was excited about Saturday night because I was finally getting to go out with Erica and have a little fun! I met her, Brandon, and 2 of her friends at Pappadeaux's for drinks and dinner before the game and it was wonderful. We missed the first few inning's of the game, but I expected that, if I really wanted to go watch an entire game I would have gone by myself. Well after we got in we had seats right behind home plate and we also had club level passes. So we sat in our seats for awhile and watched the game then after EYB sang "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" we went inside and watched in the Air Conditioning. The last inning was pretty exciting, but the Rangers ended up loosing. After the game ended we headed outside to find where EYB was playing and I've never seen so many people before. It was so crowded and I didn't really want to deal with people so we found a place far in the back and sat down in the grass and listened. The show was really fun and it was nice to hang out with friends. After the show we were all too tired to do anything else so I went home and went to sleep.

Sunday I woke up and did some more homework and studied for my test that was this morning. My dad and Kenya had been in Port Aransas at our beach house all weekend so I was taking care of the dogs. I went and played with them for a little while then drove to Hurst to have lunch with Dawn. This time nothing too exciting happened like last time when the power went out, but our waiter wasn't the brightest guy in the world. I mean when does can we have a side of ranch mean we want two things of hot sauce???? Oh well...good times and it was nice to finally catch up on things. After I got home I studied more then had dinner with my mom, grandma, dylan and allan then decided that I needed to go back to CS before it was too late. I guess I wasn't thinking about rain since it is summer in Texas, but between Hillsboro and Waco I wasn't sure I wasn't going to float away. I think I was driving less than 30mph on the highway...not fun. I finally got to CS around 9:30 and after unpacking and getting ready for school I actually got some sleep.

My test this morning wasn't too bad, it just really frustrates me when professors tell you its going to be multiple choice, then throw in about 15 short answer and fill in the blank questions. Oh well, I don't really think it was that bad. I was busy most of the day at work which is very unusual, but it made the day go faster. I got to come home for about 20 minutes then I had to go work on a group project which is going to basically consume my week.

I'm already ready for the weekend....if I could just get everything done first!

66 days till I get my Aggie Ring!!!

Amalia and Dawn tagged so here ya go...

What was I doing 10 years ago?
Lets see I was 11...that was the summer between my 6th and 7th grade years. Honestly I don't have any idea what I was doing. Probably went to some camps, I think I went to college for kids, and I was dancing a lot and competing in several competitions. Okay really I have no idea, thats just what would have made sense.

Five snacks I enjoy in a perfect, non-weight gaining world:
1. Chips and Queso
2. Homemade Ice Cream
3. Peanut ButterBrownies
4. Beef Jerky
5. Reese's

Five snacks I enjoy in the real world:
1. pineapple
2. strawberries
3. peanut butter crakers
4. nutri grain bars
5. Special K snack bites

Five things I would do if I were a billionaire:
1. Buy my parents a house in Colorado
2. By myself a new car
3. Travel
4. Donate to charity
5. Open my own dance studio

Five jobs I have had:
1. Secretary at a vet clinic
2. Dance teacher
3. Nanny
4. Office manager at a dance studio
5. Office assistant for Texas A&M marketing and communication

Five habits:
1. I seperate all my food.. if things are mixed like a fruit salad i completley seperate each fruit before i eat.

2. I have to sleep with my phone next to me...if for some reason i lay down and its not there i will go and find it. If I don't want it to ring or something I turn it off, but it still has to be next to me. I guess I have a fear of needing to call someone and not being able to

3. I check my email/myspace/facebook/google reader before school or work even if i'm late and going to have a computer when i get when i'm going

4. I stand in 1st position (ballet) alot when i'm just standing, i have to make myself stand normal now because i've done it for so long

5. I have to have a planner....I write everything down. I usually will not forget but I like to look at what I have to do for the day and I like to be able to look back at what I did. I even still have my planners from the past several years.

Five places I have lived:
1. Burleson
2. Joshua
3. The dorms at A&M
4. My apartment in CS with Kayla, Kendra, and Mel
5. My apartment in College Station now!

Five people I’d like to get to know better:
(Blogger/Wordpress/Xanga/Myspace blogs...whatever)
I don't really know anyone that hasn't been tagged...so I guess whoever hasn't done this!

So a friend sent this to me and I felt like it was worth posting...

Dance Like No One Is Watching

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire.
The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred D Souza.
He said, "For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."
This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have. And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time...and remember that time waits for no one.
So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter, until you are off welfare, until the first or fifteenth, until your song comes on, until you've had a drink, until you've sobered up, until you die, until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy...

Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

Thought for the day: "Work like you don't need money, Love like you've never been hurt, And dance like no one's watching."


And along those same lines, one of my favorite quotes ever..

"The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past, and recognize that every day won't be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair, remember, it's only in the black of night that you see the stars, and those stars lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble and fall, because most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wish for. Maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you? The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination"

Another week of work and school...sometimes I think my life is just boring.haha.

~Summer 2 started today and my class seams pretty cool. Its a diversity class and doesn't seem too hard. Only 1 paper, 2 tests, and a group project, I think that should be doable. During the school year apparently there is like 5 papers, 4 tests, and 2 group projects, so I'm happy about that. My professor seems really cool too, I love when profs want to be there teaching. It just makes things much better and I actually want to go to class.

~Speaking of my class, we did an "activity" to try and see how diverse our class was and get to know our classmates.. We had to divide up in groups based on different things such as where we were born, where we last went on vacation, where we would like to go on vacation....etc. Well the last thing he had us do was split up by what music we liked to listen too. Then as a group we were suppose to get up and sing a verse from any song from the genre that we wanted. I was in the Country/TX Country group...and of all the songs we could sing, my group decided on "Small Town Kid." I mean really??? I guess people really do like EYB. haha.

~I went to the doctor today, and if you know me you know that I have to be really sick or in a lot of pain to go. Well I still hate doctors but she did give me a muscle relaxer which is basically what I wanted. I have have back and neck problems since I was a freshman in high school. Most of the time it is related to stress and only hurts for a day or two. Well this time it has been hurting for about a week. On top of it hurting I haven't been sleeping, so hopefully now I will feel better and finally get some sleep.

~I went and saw EYB in Waco last week with Kayla and Brian...it was really a good show and sometimes I just need to be reminded of why I love them. There are lots of videos on youtube from the show...if you are bored you should watch them. Oh and on "So Close Now" you can definitley hear Kayla and I say "sing it up" right before Mike does.

~Ryan James played at Lake Bryan on Sunday night and it was just one of those nights that was just fun. Sitting on stage(because it was raining), drinking margaritas, hanging out with friends, and listening to some acoustic music...it really doesn't get much better than that. RJ is just a great guy, its nice when he just comes and we all get to talk and catch up on life.

~So as much as I say my life has been kinda boring...last week I got to see Django, EYB, and Ryan, honestly that made me happy so i really can't complain.

~I passed archery...thankfully. Okay so my professor gave me the C, but I went to class every day and I tried. I am almost finished with Spanish 3 then 1 more semester and I'm done with that!!

~I'm going to be out of town the next 4 weekends (well i don't have plans for the 4th but I'm not staying in CS)...I'm not that excited about it all the driving to be honest but there are a few things I am excited about.

~My parents and grandparents are in Colorado right now, I just wish I had time to take a vacation. Unfortunately I don't and it doesn't look like I will any time soon.

~79 days till I get my Aggie Ring!! :)

Like I said, mostly I've just been busy with school and work and having a little fun every now and then. Really I've just been trying to keep from being bored, cause when I'm bored I tend to make stupid decisions and get my self in trouble.
