Lately...

wow blog, it has been a while since i posted anything! dang.. how did all of my favorite blog followers/stalkers survive? hahah just kidding. honestly, i thought constantly about how i should be blogging, but could NEVER figure out what to say. unfortunately, not too much new and exciting has happened, but then again, there really is never a dull moment in my day so, life is always exciting. if only you lived at my house, you would hear my blonde moments up the wazoo. sometimes i get made fun of, okay actually, most of the time, but hey, it happens... imma blonde!

anyway, this post is sounding super lame to most of you, i kinda am having a train wreck in my head. so i will just post pictures and tell you the latest:

yes, this is baby ellie, and yes, she is laying in the foyer at church, waiting for me to throw the race car to her, wow am i a great babysitter or WHAT? (just don't let meredith see!) just kidding. so my sister and her hubby went out of town to michi-freeze-your-butt-off-again. and yeah, it was cold there, so i hear. so what did i do? me, a fun-loving (at least i think so) 19 yr old babysatt 5 kids! alone. wow! these kids were angels. i have never had so much fun with them. we watched good ol' "leave it to beaver!" (yeah, her kids new FAVorite movie), went to the park, went to school, went to work with me, played piano together, made lunches, had only 1 fight, and laughed probably 23 out of the 24 hours in a day! it was intense. i love these kids. they reminded me what it was like to be young (since i am so old now) but i loved elementary school and junior high! o what it would be like to be a kid again! :)

BLOG READERS: MEET THE ROCKET!!!
she's a beauty, aint she?

why yes readers, i got me a new car. well an old new car. this here is the rocket. and man do i love her. she drives sooo smooth, HAS AC, and hasnt been driven by her 2 older brothers so THEREFORE, (as we all could have guessed) she is in MUCH better condition than candy apple. now, why the rocket you might ask? well, when i first got her, it was cold out, and she shoook like CRAAAAAZY when i tried to drive it. i kinda felt like yelling "3........2.............1...... BLASTOFF!" everytime. then i got her fixed, got new tires on her, and she is rolling like a big shot! so if you see this beauty, don't be alarmed, don't think it's my brother in law randy, and just wave to me. good ol me! k thanks!

o school... how i love you! pretty good sun huh? we shaved that. into jake's head! and i loved every minute of it!

school is going so well right now! i am almost to 1000 hours and literally can't stop smiling every time i am there. i have made some great friends, and some not so great, but i have learned so much it's ridic! i cannot wait for graduation, but also, am totally content being there till summer! :)

speaking of summer, everyone's favorite topic, i am anxiously awaiting you. i love working, being done with school, being tan, coaching, california, teaching lessons, having the ABC'S and WHAT TIME IS IT MR SHARK stuck in my head, and miss just having freedom. man summer, you could come a LITTLE faster, it's cool no worries.

p.s. piano is great. i picked up 3 extra kids this week, and our recital is gonna be in about may. if you have any ideas, send them to me! :)

so yeah, you havent really missed anything, but this should hold me over for a couple days! i love having this as my journal, and one day hope to print it out so i can keep them all, maybe someone should do that for a bday gift.. hint.. hint creative sisters and sister in laws of mine! :)
