its been 8 months... muh bad!

Its been 8 months... muh bad! Really the time flies by SO fast-I can't believe it! I started my first semester of dental hygiene school February 1st, and I just finished it today! It has been a lot of hard work, and a lot of fun! I have been blessed with a great group of girls (and boys)! I have made so many great friends! We are always laughing and making jokes, which definitely lightens up the place. I love all of the girls that I've been able to get to know so far. Those of you who know me know that I'm pretty quiet at first, but I am proud to say that I've been pretty good at not being shy. Sometimes I catch myself not talking to anyone... I just sit and listen to them talk and joke- its quite entertaining. I really do love school though. Some days I feel like I'm never going to make it, and that I really do stink at everything I do... and other days it all seems to click and I feel like a million bucks! I know Heavenly Father put me in this school for a reason... so I'm 99.9% positive I'll make it through.

Boys? Eh... who needs em? Actually I know I do... I definitely couldn't live my whole life without one by my side, but right now I think I'm alright. One thing that you blog stalkers may or may not know is that since I was... let's say... conceived in the womb I have been extremely boy crazy. Thank heavens I mellowed out a bit, buuuut I'm still very much in love with the thought of being married for time and (more importantly) ALL ETERNITY to a very special someone. I kind of go back and forth right now between wanting that relationship right this second... and not. I've got a pretty awesome Father in Heaven who knows when I'll be ready... so I should be patient. Whenever the time is right, we'll find each other and it will be TIGHT! In the mean time... it would be nice to date, but unfortunately that's not up to me... it's up to the boys to CALL me up and take me out. Peeps can also hook me up on dates if they happen to know any single hunks. *hint hint* Haha just kiddin'... but seriously. I'm not desperate...yet.

Ok well now that I've publicly displayed my pathetic-ness... I should probably wrap it up... It is 12:30 am anyway. Eh. I'll throw in a couple pics so you can see a bit of what I've been up to the last few months.

I visited Debs in Colorado waaaaay back in October. She's home now. :)

Halloween was off da heezee fo sheezee!

On November 13th (the day before my 20th birthday), my beautiful friends and I went to SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE ON TOUR!!!!!!!!! Season 5 was by far my FAVORITE season and it was AWESOME! Of course I have pictures with ALL of the top 10 dancers, but I didn't want to post all of them for the following reasons: 1) I look like death in all of the pictures and 2) there are just too many! We then had a crazy fun sleep over/after party at mi casa... stayed up til like... 6 am playing MASH and taking ugly pictures... and then woke up at 9am to grab me some FREE denny's! Good times!

I posted this one just to point out... Kapono is biting his lip... because he is a taking a picture with me... cause CLEARLY I am one foxy momma!

I had the wonderful opportunity of being a part of Mesa Highs Christian Dance Co. It was such a great experience!

I'm actually not sure when the above picture was taken... but I just wanted to be sure you all knew that my friends and I (mostly Michelle, Darlene, and me) LOVE Viva la French Toast from IHOP w/a side of hash browns. YUM! We usually go when its really late-it tastes so good-we finish every last bite!

CHRISTMAS! Times are rough for mi familia... but we really were blessed this Christmas. It was really special, and I loved it! The only bummer was that Debs couldn't be there. :(

Rachel REALLY loved the jewelry and outfits I bought her. :)

I had the grand privelege of taking my adorable brother and sister to the zoo! They LOVED it and it was so fun to play mom for a day.

PREVIEW FOR NEXT POST: California trip w/muh besties! CANT WAIT!

I'm right here

Hello to all who actually read my blog! I have yet to find out how to make myself known to other bloggers and to find people. I just haven't taken the time. Well, here is a quick update!

A few weeks ago muh girls and I experienced wake boarding for the first time. After much trial and error, I finally got up! But it didn't last long. I was brutally made aware of how out of shape I am. I was tired FAST! Luckily I have started hitting up the gym... so hopefully next time I'll stay up for more then 15 seconds.

A couple of us also went on a completely chill and fun road trip to the great, sun-shiny state of California! It was incredibly awesome (except the fact that I was sick). We were exposed to quite an array of nasty people! I won't share any of those experiences with you; I couldn't give you the full effect without being explicit... Believe you me, you'd be better off not knowing the awful details. All in all we had fun though. I found out that I could apply to hygiene school this year while we were at Sea World. We celebrated by devouring overpriced yummy-ness! An adorable baby dolphin obviously heard the news and swam right up to me to say, "Congratulations". Oh and it let us pet it! It was adorable and really did "feel like a hot dog"! K, close dolphin trainer Kikky... but not really. All in all it was a fabulous trip!

Here we are thuper dooper exthited to be in California!

Michelle, Darlene, Erica, and Me

We <3 heel clicks

That would be my arm/hand petting the dolphin (mine would be the whiter of the two, obviously)!

Sugary Delights!

So now its back to reality. Hows work? Honestly? It bites. I'm so sick of it! My boss... lets just say this is a song I would completely dedicate to him... "Hate is a strong word, but I really really really don't like you!" That is the epitome of how I feel towards him. I strongly dislike him as a boss. He wants us to cut back spending, cut our hours, then he hires outside help to clean and is looking into hiring a different company to do recall (call patients to schedule cleanings), which is what I DO! I do that. I work hard every day that I'm there! Is he going to cut me? I don't know. All I know is that I need another job. I need to work more than I am, especially if I'm going to be starting hygiene school next year! So... I got my resume updated and started searching online. I applied to a few places already, and I plan on taking my resumes to different medical/dental/law/whatever kind of office I see. So anyone knows of someone looking for a full-time experienced employee-you got it! I'm right here ;)

PS If anyone wants to give me tips on how to tell people I have a blog? like sending an invite or something? That'd be cool.

Couldn't Help Myself

Hello fellow bloggers! I finally gave in and created a blog; I just couldn't help myself. Who knows how good I'll be at this! I'll start by telling you all a bit about myself. I just finished my last pre-req for dental hygiene programs here in the valley! WOO HOO! It's taken me long enough! Anyway, now I'm starting the application process. I love to exercise and travel! If I had money, I would not be at home blogging, I would be either chilling on Big Beach in Maui, or exploring the green, grassy hills of Ireland. Someday I will backpack Europe and hike to the top of an Egyptian pyramid. I love going to school, but... I'm taking a break this fall and working full time. I'm not super witty, but I'll try my best to make my blog enteries worth reading! Welp, I'm off to the gym! Adios!
