New York, New York

I live in New York now... SURPRISE!! :D

I am a nanny here in White Plains. It's super fun, and crazy, and hectic, and i'm sure there are days I will hate it, but for now, I will just revel in the beautiful weather and the peace and quiet that happens when the kids are at their cousins! :D I'm sure I will wish for moments like this often in the future!

I love the family already. I'll be taking care of three children, a 10 year old girl, an 8 year old boy, and a 3 year old boy. They are super adorable. I'm sure I'll have many stories and anecdotes in the future.

Today, I went to the White Plains Wal-Mart. Apparently, white people aren't supposed to go there. :) haha I think I was the only one there. But it was two stories high. and had a cart escalator. SWEET. :)

Well... I'm exhausted, so I'm going to go to bed! :D

Life happens

Five months since my last post. Even I am amazed at the power of my procrastination! Way too much has happened to even think about saying it all..... but here's the scoop as of right now.

I live back at home... that whole broke thing wasn't working out so well for me. My life has never been so noisy! Quiet time for me, consists of locking myself in my room, with my computer, good music, and a large water bottle! :D I'm basically addicted to water... I guess there's some crazy idea that you can't live without it.... good.

I work at an inbound sales call center in the big SL, UT. (tee hee) I actually really enjoy it, even if today sucked on the sales side. At least we have crazy fun there, chatting it up with each other. JUICE! Plus, I make some decent cash, which is never a bad thing.

Me and some friends went to a huge trampoline gym yesterday. Just imagine, a huge room.... all trampolines. Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "bouncing off the walls." because we were. literally. We are way too old for stuff like this, but do we care? I love my friends. <3

Also, me and Julia are hilarious in the moment, but can never seem to remember it after the fact. Alzheimer's anyone? .......... curb. awesome. burp. I guess the mysteries of life will never be explained.

~peace

p.s. the holidays were good. yup. that's all you're getting about them. :) 

Turn Around

Hallelujah! Everything is falling into place.

I applied for my short-term loan to delay my tuition payment and I applied for a contract release from my housing contract. Hopefully, they will let me out of my on-campus housing contract, and I'll be moving in with Claire and Aleisha, two of my best friends. I'm WAY excited!!

I kind of feel bad because I already know my fall roommate Kristen, and I feel like I'm kind of deserting her, but I just can't afford to live in my dorm. It's way too expensive for my baby-sized budget. The apartment I am moving to, is definitely smaller, but it's cheaper and I'm not required to have a BYU meal plan, which takes a huge chunk out of my pocket every month.

And........ I'm blogging on my brand-new Mac laptop!! My dad finally got it for me today! Hallelujah! :)

YAY I can't wait to live with Claire and Aleisha!!!! We are going to have a blast!..... and also never get anything done. :) 

Tata for now!

Just a quick one!

Just a quick little note to all.
I'm making progress in getting ready for recording in 6 days! and my birthday is in 14!! Woot woot. Hopefully i'll be able to have an awesome party...... but i doubt it.... seeing as i work 24/7.
But i'm off to the gym. Yay for good habits!! HAHA
~peace~

Happy July 4!

Happy Fourth to all!!

I spent the night out in the street last night. Had a blast! And thank heavens, I managed to not open a messy can of worms! Congrats to me. :P
Then, today the most amazing thing happened to me!! My photographer who did my senior photos, Virginia, called me today asking me to sing a duet with a boy I know for a demo cd. I got super excited and said SURE! Then she threw in the little tidbit that she wants me to sing 6 other songs and do my own demo and get it out to some labels! HOLY COW! I can't even believe it right now. I'm in total shock. Hopefully all works out well!
So I'm recording next Sunday hopefully, and I'm not really sure how I'm going to be ready. I haven't even picked all my songs yet, but all I know is that this is happening for a reason, and i just need to take a leap of faith. I'm super excited but also kinda freaked out about how this is all going to work out. But wish me luck, and I'll definitely keep you updated!!

Another one!

I am on a roll! I love it.
BRANDON IS HOME!!!! I'm so happy. I saw him last night, and I just couldn't stop laughing. I'm just so glad to have him back. I've missed him like crazy. hahaha we totally ran into each others arms in the middle of Wal-Mart. :D We got some strange looks, but who cares? I was so happy to see him. Nothing could shake it! I can't wait to get back to hanging out all the time. Hopefully my job gets a tiny bit less hectic. :)

So I've made some fabulous friends since I've been here, and its so fun to compare our favorite things and find new favorite things! My friend kelly, introduced me to the soundtrack of the movie "Once" and I've fallen in love. You can check it out on her blog kelly-time.blogspot.com.
It's absolutely amazing and refreshing and beautiful! I love it. Lots and lots.

Also....So You Think You Can Dance is back on! It is probably my favorite show in the history of the earth. I absolutely can't get enough of it. I watch it religiously, but its getting harder now that I have no TV! I have to go home at least once a week to get my fix. My favorite dance this last week was a hip-hop dance by Katee and someone to the song "No Air" by Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown. It was a story of a girl and her boyfriend the night before he leaves for the war. It was so moving and amazing! Everyone should look it up. It's already on YouTube. That's how amazing it was.

Well, I have to work. More soon.
~Peace~

:)

Wow! Look at me go.... two posts in three days! I'm quite impressed with me, if I do say so myself.
So this is gonna be short and sweet, cuz I have plans for this grand Friday night!
I love college. And friends. And boys. And life.
"Today is the greatest day in the history of the world" HAHAHA yay for my crazy job.
the end.
