Ok, don't get me wrong, I love my parents very much, and they have given me so many opportunities. I love my sister,as well. She has been there for me, and even though sometimes she can be a pain in the butt, I love her to death. My friends have been so very important to me. They made me feel so welcome when I first moved here, and we have all been friends since then. They are an awesome bunch of guys and I know they will always be there for me.
But I have come to realize that Ken has been a very big part of my "growing up" these past 2 years that we have been together. He has supported me in all my decisions, helped me organize my finances, and made me realize just how important an education is. He has worked so hard to get where he is today, sacrificing a lot of things that most people take for granted. He knows what he wants out of life and lets nothing get in his way to achieve his goals. He is a very inspiring person, and for that I am so very thankful to have him in my life. Seeing how hard he works and sticking to his guns even when times get tough has make me realize that I have missed so many things in my life because I had given up.
It is because of this that I have decided to return to and FINISH school. It has always been on my "To-Do" list, but it wasn't top priority. And the more I talk about it, and tell people that I am going back, the more excited I am getting. I have always wanted to finish school, but I didn't know what I wanted to go for. And, now that I know what I want to do, I feel that it is exactly what I have been waiting for.
I just want to say - Thank you, Ken. For all that you do for me. You have taught me so much, and I am looking forward to learning more.
What I am thankful for:
My Mom and Dad still married and in love
Ali and Doug
Ken, my one and only
Having an amazing childhood
Having every opportunity to reach my goals
Having the opportunity to continue my education
Having a job so I can afford food, clothing and shelter
Having wonderful friends that I know I can count on no matter what
The gifts and talents I was born with
Being able to make my own decisions
Having people who support me in my decisions
Being able to afford luxuries (Car, iPod, computer, etc.)
Being healthy and aware of the consequences of living an unhealthy lifestyle
Having people who love and care about me
Being able to make other people happy, even if I may not know it
See, I brought in my iPod today. And my co-worker is still trying to talk to me! I can't hear her so I'm just kinda ignoring her. Oops! I like my iPod and my music on it so an happy.
I really have to start to remember to bring my iPod with me to work. A
- because the radio music stinks sometimes, and B - because that way I
won't have to half-hear the ramblings of my co-worker. She mumbles, a
lot. Sometimes it is to herself, other time she does it when she's
talking to me. So, I'm always saying "Huh?" or "What did you say?" It
is so annoying! She also chuckles to herself for no good reason. It's
kinda creepy.
But, anyways ... Things are going well. I didn't get to go to the
hockey game yesterday, but it's okay. Thursday's game should be fun,
plus they are giving away a replica jersey. So that is really neat.
I think I'm gonna go out with Ali after work today, maybe. I have to
see how I feel. Hmmm.
Ugh. Thank goodness it is the weekend! It hasn't been a horrible week, but it just dragged.
I didn't go to the hockey game Thursday night. I wasn't feeling well. I got home and, because of the weather change, my skin gets really itchy and dry. So at like 7:00 I took some Benedryl. I was PTFO at 8:30. It was nice. I slept for 10 hours. I feel kinda bad though cause Ken came in when I was laying down and was talking about something, I don't recall what, and I wasn't very nice to him. But I swear it was the Benedryl talking.
Speaking of Ken, he had a very important interview yesterday, with a very important company. I hope things went well! I have so much faith in him. I enjoy supporting him while he is in school. And I mean supporting him by encouraging him, having faith in him, and always thinking positively.
There is a hockey game tonight. I am really looking forward to this one cause they are giving away a blanket! I get so cold there, it will come in handy.
My early registration for school went through, so I am super excited!! This is what it looks like:
COURSE ------ TITLE ---------------------- TIME -------- DAYS
DSC101 ------ DESIGN AWARENESS -------- 1:40-2:55 ----- MW
GRA440 ------ FINDING PURPOSE --------- 9:15-10:30 ---- TTH
ALA100 ------ INTRO ENVIR DESGN -------- 1:40-2:55 ----- TTH
INT131 ------ DSGN/HMN BEHAVIOR ------- 3:15-4:30 ----- TTH
Or like this:
How cool does this look? Ok i shouldn't be taking pictures (or texting) while driving, but it just was an awesome sunset!
How cute is this?! I got it at Target last week. I love him.
This weekend was a good one. Saturday I gamed with the guys, and that evening went to the hockey game with Dan. The Coyotes won against the LA Kings (YAY!) so that was exciting. Plus I got a free long-sleeve t-shirt!
Sunday was okay. Ken, Court and I went to breakfast. After that, I went to mom and dad's to get the exercise machine, The Gazelle, so I can start exercising while at home. I was there for a few hours then came back home. I didn't even realize how hungry I was until it was past the point of no return, which is when I am way past hungry and sick to my stomach and nothing sounds good to eat. So, Ken and I ended up going to PF Changs, cause who doesn't like it there?! I was able to eat 2 lettuce wraps and a few bites of my Moo Shu Chicken, but, since I was sick to my stomach, I couldn't eat anything else. Yuck!
The other crappy part about the weekend was that I was having my nasty headaches again. They started Saturday night after the game. I had one Sunday morning around 7:30am, Sunday afternoon around 3-ish, and one this morning as well. I have decided that it is about time to go to the chiropractor, since I haven't been in like 2 months. So, I'm going after work tonight.
And it doesn't help the fact that my stomach is still bothering me today. I should probably go to the doctor and see if anything is wrong with my stomach. I've been having really bad heartburn after I eat sometimes. I should keep a log of what I eat and whether or not I get heartburn from it. I think that might shed some light on what is causing it.
Thanksgiving is coming up quickly. I am looking forward to it, although it will be just me, mom and dad. It will be nice.
Don't you worry
Sometimes you've just gotta let it ride
The world is changing
Right before your eyes
Now I've found you
There's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive

And ... it's Friday!
So, Courtney moved in on Wednesday. So far so good. I can't complain
about anything, yet. She got lost coming home though. Ken gave her
directions to get to work, but she couldn't figure out to get back.
Supposedly she drove past the complex a couple times before ending up at
Wal-Mart and calling me for directions. It's difficult for me to deal
with people who can't understand simple directions. But I guess I can't
blame her too much, she just got her car and hasn't been driving around
much.
Other than that, things are really going well! I'm a little bummed that
Ken is going to Oregon for Thanksgiving, but I am very happy for him
because he will be spending it with his Mom and his sister, Lisa. So,
for Thanksgiving, it will most likely only be me, mom and dad, unless
Eric and Kristin come up to visit.
So, Christmas is soon approaching as well. I'm trying to get my
family's wish lists so I can prepare ahead of time. I still don't know
what I want to ask for either. But, who knows what Christmas will
bring!
