It's been a busy day! I had to take care of the dogs for mom since she is visiting the hospital! Boy that takes for ever! I have to wait for an hour and a half outside waiting to put the dogs inside LOL not bad though there is a great view and lots of photo ops. I really like taking artsy photos! Its a lot of fun and very relaxing! Now I am off to do laundry clean room and bathroom and a bunch of other stuff!

I tried to tell myself that I would blog more! And then I got a boyfriend and it all seemed to not matter! But now that I am unattached I am going back to what I was trying to do before! Anyway last night I went to the pub for the first time in a long time(another thing I stopped doing) and had a blast. Although I was alone I still had so much fun! There was karaoke and shirley temples! I sang twice and got 5 compliments on my voice and singing! I was shocked that they liked it LOL Terren wasn't there(really hot security guy) but I still had a blast anyway! I hope that next week Katy can come.

Today I did 23 min and burned 230 cal! I am going to start adding a core workout from a dvd I have because I just got a yoga mat and I intend to use it! My next goal and I have to save for this one is wii fit so I can do actual yoga and "sports" without having to really run. It also has this thing where it tells you how fat you are and what you need to do to get there. I think it will be good! But that will be a while from now since its like 150 or more for everything.

If you are wondering about my birth father he is doing much better and just got home a couple of days ago. He is doing intensive physical therapy and working hard. He is going to be selling off his stuff like the ATV and motorcycles and such. If you want anything tell me and I can ask him! I am hoping that I can go up to see him after I go up to Portland for the family picnic. We shall see...I might not even be able to go up there because I got a new job!

Its called advantage sales and marketing here is the website if you want to see= http://www.asmnet.com/Pages/default.aspx
I will be a retail sales merchandiser. I will be going up and down I-5 and the coast to hundreds of stores to make sure they are happy and that the merch is correct. Its a really cool job and I can't wait to start! I get an official job offer sometime next week and then I am not sure when I will be starting! Its good pay only part time but I also get paid for gas and they pay for lodging when I stay out of town. I am really excited!

Anyway thats all the updates I have for now and I hope to add this to my routine so that I can journal my life because I like to look back and laugh at what I post! For now here is a video from the Seattle Knights that came to the Rogue Renascence Fair! They were so cool and I am totally addicted to them! We cheered for the green team the entire time! LOL Woot! I will post it later as its having a hard time playing for some odd reason!

Moving along!

So if you haven't heard there will probably be a wedding next year around July! Justin hasn't asked me but since he told everyone on facebook that we were getting married next year I thought I should write about it. On June 17th we will be together for 4 months and going strong. Now I know what you are all thinking, what are we going to do from now till then.

Well I am hoping to get a surgery on my knee to relieve pressure and pain. First I have to get some health insurance then get the surgery done then go through physical therapy which will last about 2-3 months. Justin on the other hand is trying to get a decent job that pays regularly. He is also working very hard to get a computer certification so he can get a salary job working with companies and all their computer needs.

My hope is that by next year July we will be able to move to Portland after getting married but most likely we will be staying down here for at least a year and then move up. Anyway I just wanted to let you all know that I am truly in love with the man of my dreams and he loves me back! I can't wait to be married and start a family. Here's to life!

Another day

So I've had a bad couple of days. I had some insomnia and my knee was killing me. Grandma say that my knee could be reacting to the weather(which made me feel really old). Dad has once again gone up to Portland to take care of Nana and Grandpa. I really wanted to go with him but mom needed me here to take care of Sheba, a dog that we pet sit for, who's mom is in the hospital. Mom say she might not get out of the hospital for months so I have another roomy. My camera finally broke:( I am so sad! I am going to give it to a friend to see if he can fix it! So I am not sure if anyone actually reads this on here but if so I need your address so I can update a couple of things. I want to have them all on file so I can do things efficiently when the time comes. I am hoping that I can get my knee done soon! It has been interfering with my life for to long. Here's hoping!

I am so tired! I did to much this week I think! My body feels like its about to fall apart! I think today I might just do nothing! Maybe... I do need to go over to Jenna's and practice my Japanese but I don't know if I want to drive all the way out there! Maybe I should practice on my own and rest? I have also been applying for quite a few jobs and at some point I will get one! Anyway wanted to check in and tell all!

So her are some pics from my camping trip! It was so much fun and I had a blast!

Me wearing a dew-rag Jenna gave me to keep the sand out of my hair!

Fun at the Beach!

I had the best time camping with everyone! We did so many things! Jenna and I went crabbing(didn't catch anything), we all went dune-bugging, and ate to our hearts content! I have pics and vids that I will put up and explain them then. One of the best things was Forests tri-tip with his homemade sauce! He asked if I wanted a fork and knife and I was already shoving it in my mouth! Then when we were heading home we saw sea lions, eagles, a whale, and deer. It was amazing! Mom loved her gift of 3 blueberry bushes that she can now plant in OUR HOUSE! I also picked her some lilacs which are her fav flower! Anyway I will post those pics soon!
