thirteen.

oops. 
first post of 2013 and it's.... february 14th! happy v-day. to me. and my valentine, me. 

goodness doesn't life just get busy and then before you know it, two months have passed? that's me for ya. 

i have since realized, however, that life should never be too busy for the things that are important and needed! too much to do and so much life to live. 

well. i'll give you "stalkers" an update. although there aren't many of you. 

1. school is good. and hard. but good. 
2. i thoroughly enjoy looking at all those darn zoobsssss and wonder, "where in the WORLD did you come from??" every day. 
3. i'm working part time at FFG (same work). it's going great. even though i secretly envy shar bear and how she gets to cook in the mahvellous kitchen for her job. 
4. i am currently looking too much at all my dumb media apps on izzy my iphone 5. that's a goal - to not check all that unimportant stuff 24/7. 
5. i have now made TWO payments on florence. two down and.... 50 billion to go. 
6. i forget about face time, i miss my 3 kiddies. 
7. currently, i am searching for a health-related internship in los angeles for this upcoming summer. so i can complete my internship and alsooo live with bro bro andrew and party on. i am a california girl at heart. weird i know. p.s. any connections or people you know, hit me up, even if you don't know me that well! 
8. baseball season is starting. and padre is coaching for a different team. that's weird. but oh so very exciting. SOX all the way!
9. my room is organized. but organized clutter. but not too bad. but bad if you know me normally. 
10. i've still got lots of life to figure out. and boy, am i grateful for the wonderful things and the wonderful life i have!!!!!!

um... well i guess, happy holidays are in order?

here we are at december 2nd, 2012. shouldn't the world be ending soon? hopefully not ;) there are too many good things in life to be enjoyed.

sheesh where to begin!

ONE. my newest purchase:
 - this would be izzy (?) my new iphone 5. my life has been changed in a mere 36 hours.

TWO. my SECOND most recent purchase:

 - this would be my new car. deciding between RUBY and FLORENCE. ideas?

THREE. november 14th was the anniversary of my dear pup, pugsley. we miss him. 

FOUR. my dear sweet friend, whitney, took these lovely pictures of me! love her. find me someone to marry and her and i will be even better friends. her pictures are amazing. 

i am all registered for classes and honestly, i have never been so excited for school. i'm sure that mindset will change within... 3 days. but still, i'm excited! all signed up for exercise & wellness and business. let's get down to business peeps!

work has pretty much controlled my life lately. with an incredible incentive within eyesight, 60 hours of work last week just happened. hard work has paid off. (see ruby/florence above.)

gold's gym has been treating me well. the "toolshed", as i like to call it, has pretty much been a constant view on my snapped pictures to friends while working out. one of my favorites that's for sure! 

man has the time flown. i am pretty sure that i say that every post, but it is crazy how it has happened. i think back to the holiday season last year and what i was doing then... what a different time. we all have grown, matured, learned, cried, and laughed in the past year. the unexpected has happened as well as the expected. 

but to this day, i am happy, i have my family, the gospel, a new calling in church (teaching 5 year olds), a job, school to attend, a car, a home, a nice place to sleep, friends, food to fill my belly, wonderful memories of the past, and many things to look forward to in the future.
