"Missed it by that much."- Maxwell Smart

I saw this movie this weekend with my two brothers, sister-in-law and my friend Ashley. I loved it, a MUST SEE! Even if you didn't grow up watching the re-runs like my family did, you will love it. Steve Carell is awesome. He is so awkwardly funny and he played the part perfectly. Don't get me wrong I loved Don Adams as the original Agent 86 but this movie was a good tribute. I can't wait to make my dad go see it!

Nothing says "I love you" like candy.

I don't know if I have told you or not but I have the best boyfriend ever. He does so much for me. He is always supportive of my endeavors and encourages me to do whatever makes me happy. So I decided to surprise him with a candy gram. Cheesy I know, and though candy can never fully describe what Anthony really means to me it was kind of fun to write...
Shhh... It's a secret.

*Note* Candy used will be in bold.

My SWEET TART,

The REISEN for this letter is to let you know how much I love you. I can't believe I SKOR-ed a BIG HUNK like you. (Not just any MIKE AND IKE would do!!) I know it isn't always easy when I SNICKER about your 100 GRAND PAYDAYS and the MOUNDS of time you spend at work but I know NOW AND LATER you will always be there for me, my LIFESAVER. Thank you for that. Thank you for all the GOOD AND PLENTY times and just remember that when I call you a NERD or a WHATCHAMACALLIT I mean it in the nicest way possible!

KISSES

Your HOT TAMALE


P.S. I ended up having to substitute RAISINETS for REISEN because I went to (count em) one, Two, THREE different stores and all they had were big bags of them. No candy bar size. How lame. Oh well I am sure Anthony will like it anyway.
P.P.S. You will have to excuse the lack of artistic ability or just the fact that I can't write straight.
P.P.P.S. Happy Birthday Dad! I love you!!

Here is to the future... My future!

So my last day of work is creeping ever closer! It is still very hard to believe. With no job lined up, I feel like I am heading into the unknown. It is all very exciting.

Last Thursday I decided that I have had ENOUGH. Every morning I have to struggle with myself just to get up and go to work. I despise it. My job is so unrewarding. My boss basically told me there was no room for advancement and that my job is what it is. Also I am starting school next week and even though I am only taking one class, I haven’t been in school for almost five years!!! There is no way I could juggle working full time and school, plus starting in the Fall I want to start going to school full time. So I went into my boss’ office and basically said I can’t do it all, I either need to move to part time or find a job with more flexible hours. I knew in doing this that he would say no, he doesn’t let anyone work part time because he is weird like that. Anyway, when he said no I had a hard time not jumping for joy. I am so ready to be out of here.

I start school Tuesday June 24th and in the mean time I am looking for a job with flexible hours. It doesn’t necessarily have to be part time just something I can work around my new life that is school.

*Let me know if you have any leads. Preferably in the downtown Seattle area!*

And the countdown begins...

four and a half days left of work, I can't wait!!

"Hey Anthony, you want to play a really fun game?" -Joel Morris

So I spent last night with some of my favorite people whom I don’t see often enough. Joel, Candace and Adam Morris! Seriously I only see Adam about once a year and Joel and Candace maybe two to three times. How sad is that? I love the way I feel when I am around them. They make me feel so comfortable and they genuinely care about me and my life plus we laugh a lot (but how can you not when Anthony, Adam and Joel get together? They are a riot!)

For instance Anthony and I walked over to Joel and Candace’s new place where Adam was spending the night and sat around and chatted while watching Anthony and Joel play a really funny juggling game. It consisted of one of them juggling and then the other one stealing the balls out of the air but keeping up the juggling without dropping any. Then we decided to go on a walk and show Adam all the huge houses over by Volunteer Park. On the way the boys decided to try climbing a huge tree. They were giving each other boosts and trying to walk up the tree. It was good for a laugh. After that we just wandered around and decided to go get something to eat. We ended up at Coastal Kitchen where we shared tons of food. It was such a blast. Then around 11:30 we started the journey home. Of course I left my purse at Joel and Candace’s because I didn’t want to carry it on the walk so we had to go all the way back over there first before we could go home. The wind was blowing pretty hard and it was freezing (for June anyway) so we decided to run part of the way to warm up, luckily
it was downhill!






I really miss spending time with those guys and I really miss Adam. I wish he lived here (Erin too and I am excited to see her when she gets here Sunday!!)

*Pictures are from Adam and Erin's Wedding in Savannah, Georgia. Adam's bachelor party crashed the girls bachelorette party. Candace and I were one of the boys!

I am excited...

to see my nephews and niece tomorrow (or early Saturday Morning)!!!

A New Beginning!

If I want my life to change I have to actually take action and do it myself. No one else can give me my happiness. Today is a new day and as good as any to start changing my life!

Some goals (in no particular order) to start this new journey:

• 
  
  Spend more time with my family and friends.
• 
  
  Hug my loved ones more often.
• 
  
  Don't push people away because I am afraid they won't approve.
• 
  
  Finish my degree and get a job I actually enjoy.
• 
  
  Join a Book Club.
• 
  
  Continue Glass Blowing.
• 
  
  Make new friends.
• 
  
  Make the time I do spend with Anthony more enjoyable with less fighting.
• 
  
  Not be so jealous.
• 
  
  Learn to share my feelings and put them into words while keeping my emotions under control.

Well, whether they are life changing goals or even just some that seem insignificant there they are. Wish me luck!
