Quick Update

Life is good.

Ty is here and does my dishes more often than I cook him dinner!! It's amazing. Everyday so far he has asked me what he can do to help me out since I've been so busy with school and work. I make him lists sometimes, but most of the time he just does chores around my apartment. He is so totally out of my league, but I don't think he even cares =) I think I'm going to spend the rest of my life trying to prove to myself that I deserve him. But I think thats a good goal to aim for.

My new car is awesome. In the last 200 miles, I've gotten an average of 41 miles per gallon. I still can't figure out how to program my radio stations, but everything else works just fine. I love it.

My job at Best Buy is keeping me super busy, but I can tell all of the managers appreciate the work I do and are happy to have me there. They give me "special projects" and have put me in charge of large groups of other employees quite a bit as we get ready to open the store.

School is the most stressful part of life right now, but I have one of the highest grades in my most difficult class so I guess I'm doing alright.

My mom is coming up tonight with my family and I'm pretty excited. If only I didn't have to work tomorrow....

it's about time.

in just a few short hours, i will be the proud new owner of this sweet ride:




2003 toyota prius (hybrid). yay!

my mom

i mostly just wanted to post what dandy looked like before her haircut...



yeah, she's my little sheep dog =)


but now i've decided to tell you all why my mom is the best mom in the whole world. you might think its up for debate, but really, that would be like arm wrestling hulk hogan for the last french fry. just let him have it.

i've known for quite some time that i have the best mom in the universe, but this weekend just further confirmed it. i thought the highlight of my weekend was going to be a 58 page practice test that i was graciously allowed to print from her computer, but it only went uphill from there! she took me thrift store shopping, and let me tell you - if it were an olympic sport, my mom would be a 39 time gold medalist! she always finds the coolest stuff!

anyway- she's trying to find things for her house in flagstaff (where ty will be living) but ended up buying me NEW FURNITURE! my couch and loveseat are uncomfortable and falling apart so she replaced them with SUUUUPER comfy thrift store finds. and since the upholstery was so heinous, she bought slip covers too =) they look so cute! ty even broke them in by taking a saturday afternoon nap! yay.

she's just so darn cute and thoughtful! this is a picture of us in 2005 taking a gondola ride in venice. yeah, that was her idea too =) life rules.


becoming a mom scares me because i have her to live up to. but if i'm half the mom she's been, i think i'll do alright.
