First "Summer" Update

So I haven't updated in a long time because I was so busy with school. Well now that it is over until the fall I can finally update!!

Finals went well I suppose. I felt like I didn't even study at all for any of them--which made me feel like I wasn't going to do well in my classes. But I found out yesterday that I ended up getting a 4.0 this semester!! Woot!! I was pretty surprised by that--especially since I wasn't expecting an A in my Philosophy class. But I am praising the Lord for his guidance over my professor on grade day! =]

So now it is finally summer. Well kinda. Technically it's not summer until June 21st--but hey it's summer break to me. I ended up taking a job with BonWorth which is an older ladies apparel store out at our outlet mall. It's not the greatest job and I won't be getting very many hours, but I couldn't find much else. And plus, it's going to be nice to be able to not have to work my butt off and to still enjoy the nice weather.

Guess that's my update. Not much else going on. Just moved back a week ago and my room is still a mess with all of my stuff from my dorm room. I should probably work on getting that stuff put away maybe... =]

Busy, Busy, Busy...

Okay, so I've been busy. Last week had to write a 3-4 page essay for my Philosophy exam over the death penalty (kill me... pun intended.) then I had to write a 5-7 page research paper over why PE classes should have more requirements in school districts. Ugh. Now this week I am going to be busy with writing my term paper for philosophy that is over Same-Sex marriage. Yuck. Not looking forward to it. It is due on Tuesday, so the rest of this week and weekend is going to be super busy and not fun. But after that, I am done until finals really. I don't have any more tests before finals. Hallelujah.

Been looking for a job as well. Need one for the summer back in Newton. I've applied three places, and I'm hoping one will come through, but I haven't even heard anything from two of them and I'm kind of getting worried. No one wants to hire just for the summer. Boo. Might just have to suffer and apply at Dillion's, even though I REALLY don't want to work there... we'll just see I suppose. If anybody hears of anything opening up for the summer, let me know! I don't want anything in food or wal-mart though. =] I know, I'm picky.

Anyway, not much else to update about... gotta get my term paper started and finished by Monday night... think I can do it? Well, I better be able to anyway!

Twitter-iffic.

Okay, so I joined Twitter probably about a year ago, but that was before very many people were using it. Now it's this big hype. So I've decided that I'm going to try to start using it again... soooo you all should join twitter and follow me!!

I'm bringing home my baby bumble bee.... Won't my mommy be so proud of me?

Not much going on to blog about lately. Except that I'm going to be an Aunt!!! Yay! My brother and his wife are going to have a baby sometime in November. How amazing is that? I'm so excited! I cannot wait to have a little baby to hold and eventually a niece or nephew that I will get to spoil beyond belief! (That is, until I have my own kids...) =]. I think we are all really excited about it. Although I do think it is going to be hard without my dad being there... I think he would've made a great grandpa!

On the subject of being an aunt... I think some of my fondest memories are with my aunt Marilyn. I can vividly remember almost every Christmas growing up when my Aunt Marilyn and Grandma and Grandma Tieszen would come over to the house or we'd go to the farm. Christmas was such a great holiday growing up because we always spent it with my Dad's side of the family. It was so much fun! And I really liked it because I always got lots of gifts. =] But for some reason I remember one year we had Christmas at our house and I remember sitting on my Aunt Marilyn's lap singing with her that song about the baby bumble bee. I LOVED that song! If you've never heard of it before--you need to watch this adorable video of this little girl singing it... she's so cute!! Anyway, I can't wait to be able to sing that song with my little niece or nephew. =] I'm so excited!!

March Madness

Tis the season to watch basketball... and for a blizzard???

Had a good time watching the march madness tournament while on spring break with the church family... even though KU, Louisville, and Pittsburgh lost... but what was more mad than that was the blizzard that came through!







It was a pretty crazy weekend! Newton got about 6 inches of snow I'd say... but western Kansas got up to over 2 feet!! CRAZY!!!

Wanted:: Disney DVDs

I have a confession to make. I am obsessed with owning as many DVDs as I possibly can. I know it doesn't sound bad, but when you don't have money but yet everytime you go to Wal-Mart you HAVE to buy at least one $5 DVD... that eventually starts adding up. I think I've bought close to $150 worth of DVDs since August. That's a lot! Luckily most of them were $5 or less (I've decided that since they will all eventually get to be that price, why waste the money buying them now?), so my DVD collection has grown quite a bit-- and that makes me happy! =]

But now I've decided that I want Disney DVDs really bad! But the bad thing is that Disney only puts out their DVDs in rounds--so you can only find them on eBay or on Amazon from different sellers--and of course since they are hard to find, they are expensive. Boo. So I need ideas where to get cheap Disney DVDs. Anybody know where? I thought about looking at garage sales, but I doubt many DVDs will be for sale as there are VHSs.

So anyway... I want Disney DVDs! =] Anybody wanna give theirs up / buy them for me? hehe that'd be great! thanks!

Spring Break Day 1

So it's finally Spring Break! YAY!

Pretty eventful first day. Got up fairly early and started my search for Guitar Hero World Tour for PS2. So this game is pretty awesome because it has a mic and drums (kinda like rockband but it's guitar hero...). I searched the two places in Newton that would have it, and they didn't. Boo. So mom and I decided to make a little trip down to Wichita. I found it! Got it home and played it for about 30 mins--made my rocker and everything. This game is awesome!!

So after that Whitney and I went down to Valley Center to go to Cody's BBQ birthday party. It was a blast! So glad that Cody and Rebecca are coming to church with us in Newton because they are pretty rockin'! Kinda makes me sad that I don't live here anymore because we have so many activites going on at church and with younger people and I don't get to participate in them as often as I would like. But anyway, we had some awesome BBQ and then played Sand Volleyball. It was definitely my first time playing sand volleyball--and I was horrible at it (I mean the last time I played any type of volleyball was in 8th grade and I was on the C team.) but it was a lot of fun!

After the BBQ, Whit and I went over to K&D's (my sister and brother-in-law's) to watch a game in the NCAA Tourny, and then rock out on World Tour. It was great! We had so much fun!

Today was a great first day of Spring Break! Loved it! Tomorrow will be good too-- Church, KU plays at 1:30, Church, then pancake feed afterwards tomorrow night. SO excited! =]

Anyway... I've decided that I wish it was Spring Break all the time... I love my family and church family so much!
