back in action

home once again, well been home for a week now, but good to be home.

i feel like a lot has happened in the last week, but yet, nothing really has.

i move out in ONE week! counting down the days. soooo excited. mom has been so great with helping me to know what i'm going to need. we've gone out and bought a new duvet cover for my bed, and iron, ironing board, kitchenware, pots, pans, etc. woo!

i've decided i love milk duds. yum. i bought a box, took them to the drive in and they tasted like the box. eww. but i left them in my car tuesday allllll day, they melted into one big milk dud. i broke them apart. just delicious.

i've gone swimming a ton. maybe too much?

trying to find a part time job. i'm wanting to work at the graphic design department at UVU. i have a friend that works there, i'd be an intern. i really want it. graphic design is my major... fyi. i'll be SO pumped if i get it!

i went to the clap your hands say yeah concert last night. it was a blast. went with my new friend, brooks, she's a funnnn girl. delta spirit opened, they are just grand. i saw them a few months ago when they opened for matt costa.

didn't ever blog about this, but i finally got a new phone a couple weeks ago, my old phone was a brick, but could withstand anything. i bought a nokia, didn't know if i'd like it, i LOVE it. it plays music quite loud, and i just love it.

my new music obsessions are Free Fallin'-the live cover by John Mayer. i've listened to it at least 50 times today. i've also been obsessed with the MGMT album. i also have this weird thing for Chris Brown. i lovvvve him! :)

2 A.M.

it is now 2 a.m. and i'm not in bed. we are leaving to canada at 5! yikes. oh well.
last two days have consisted of, working allllll day, then going to a concert, dancing, and spending time with awesome friends. love it.

the faint concert-great. it wasn't "life changing" as bryce called it. but it was good, a good concert.

isaac russell-SO great. SO great. he's just talented. he opened so didn't get to hear much. but if you haven't heard him, you must. www.myspace.com/rurumusic.

tomorrow it's off to canada, my ipod is dead, gotta charge it, or i might die without my led zeppelin and csny (both of which are favorites, but been listening to a lot as of late).

won't have phone service, just going to be hangin in beautiful british colombia with the family, i'm really so excited! see you all in eight days!

done, and done.

so i quit my job at icon security. boy am i glad to be outta there!

i really liked everyone i worked with, but the job was really hard on me, dealing with upset customers EVERY SINGLE PHONE CALL. don't even worry. it's very mentally wearing.

just a warning to ever person i care about, don't open your doors to door to door salesmen, and PLEASE read every contract you sign... hahaha! that's what i deal with everyday!

anyways...

dad has offered me a full time job for the month of august, and i'm in the process of finding a new job for when school starts. i'm looking into a job working at the graphic design department at uvu. but we'll see bout that.

going to canada with the family this weekend for a family reunion, friday, saturday, and sunday. monday we go to lake shuswap! yes! seriously the most amazing lake i have ever been to.

bloggin

my brother has joined the bloggin world! yes!

this was my blog for when i was living in ecuador, but i'm now back into life, and back to reality. so i'm changing, aight? coo.

life in the last two months since i have been home has consisted of working, and traveling. i went to paris and london with the fam, then went to new york to visit my brother who's living there for the summer for an internship.

i've been working two jobs, one, icon security, and two, m3 research (my dad's company). it's all been keeping me busy and i've still found time for play. this last thursday i went to a free concert in salt lake at the gallivan center and saw the cool kids. mikey, one of the rappers, SO HAWT.

but i'm getting pictures from all the other girls.

nbd.

bad blogger

SO. it's been quite sometime since i last blogged. i've been SO busy!

ali is coming tonight! we pick her up from the airport at 845. she called me yesterday morning wondering what she needs to bring, what the weather is like and all that jazz... and i asked her if she could bring me some twizzler nibs, i've been craving them! she laughed at me, but she's bringing them. i'm so excited to show her ecuador, and for her to meet all my little ones i've been working with. she's going to cute some hairs too. i'm so so excited! this day needs to go faster!

i have only eight days left on my adventure. eight days! wow. this week is going to fly. today i have one shift with my little ones, tomorrow two shifts, wednesday one day shift and banquet (for the "old" girls leaving) and a night shift! thursday two shifts, my last day. it's going to be really hard. i know it. then on friday go to the jungle (amazon) until monday, then fly home tuesday morning. weird, but i'm really excited to get home. i know i'm going to miss the kids. a LOT. i miss my family a lot, i'm excited to spend a lot of time with them.

the following monday i'm going to europe! first to london then to paris. amazing. with mom, dad, and blake. amazing!

i'm going to get all my pictures printed and i'll be ready to share with everyone and anyone. this has been an experience i will never ever regret, and never forget.
