Black Friday!

I know that on one of my previous blogs I made the comment that people who go out on black Friday are insane. But I failed to mention that I was one of those people except I went to only two stores. The one and only reason I got my butt out of bed at three-thirty in the morning was to get a phone. I cell phone plan was up on Thanksgiving day and one of the phones I wanted to upgrade to was a steal on black Friday. The Samsung Captivate is a five hundred dollar phone and it is two hundred dollars with an upgrade but on black Friday Radio Shack was offering the phone for free. So yes I got up really early in the morning to stand in front of Radio Shack at four-thirty because the store opened at five-thirty. I was the third person inline standing outside in the cold at four-thirty. Once the doors opened I headed straight for the counter. The lady I was talking with that worked there said that the store only had three and I needed two. I was so excited to get the phone that I wanted and I got it for FREE!

Cold Weather

I have to admit that I am not much for cold weather. Ever since thanksgiving I have been a baby. Yes, I will call myself a baby only because I am always complaining that I am cold. The funny thing is I use to like winter and the snow. Now I could care less if it showed up or not. When I go out for deer hunting in second season I have at least four layers of clothing on. Even when I go to sleep at night I would have on pajama pants and a long sleep shirt on top of having a heated blanket. I just do not understand it...a year and a half ago I was not like this. I would never complain that I was cold or sleep in a long sleeve shirt. I would take a blazing hot day in the mid of summer over a cold snow falling day. I just have a greater love for the sun and being on my jet ski in the water rather than bundled in layers of clothes in play in cold snow. Got to love the cold weather!

Deer Hunting

Ok, so I really debated this year about getting deer tags. The past two years that I have gone out and sat in the stupid cold weather I did not see single deer besides the ones my cousins shot and were dead on the trailer. So this year I got tags anyway. Went out opening morning and same old stuff as last year. I did not see a single deer, and then I had to come to class. While in class I got a text message from my brother. It was a nine point buck and to top that off he was sitting in my stand. The longer I sat in class the more I hated how I had to sit there. About an hour later I got a text message from my dad saying that matt got a deer. I kindly texted him back saying that I already knew. Deer season just does not work out for me this year. I either have to work or I have school to attend. I have thought about giving up on the whole thing but I just love that when you are sitting out in that deer stand and all you hear is the nature around you, it is very peaceful.

Holiday Shopping

All anybody hears these days on TV is commercials about getting your holiday shopping done. I know many people that went out on black Friday and did not even get their holiday shopping done. To me that is a waste of time. The Saturday before black Friday, I told the day and I got all of my holiday shopping done. I even had to do my boyfriend’s this year because he is in Wyoming till the 21st of December. Needless to say he will not be able to get all of his shopping done before Christmas. I managed to get my family, his family, and him done. YES I SAID DONE! All of my holiday shopping is done. Now it is the fun part wrapping it all. I love to wrap gifts. Some can be more changeling than others but that is what makes it fun.  Another thing that I would like to mention besides getting all of my holiday shopping done is, I spent under three hundred dollars. That is amazing! I have to admit though Casey’s (my boyfriend) present is not included in that three hundred dollars. The under three hundred dollars is my family’s gifts and Casey’s family’s gift.

PuPPies!!

No matter what age you are you are going to like those cute little puppies. My neighbor's dog just had puppies on November 16. I woke up to a text message at 7:30 in the morning with a picture of mom and her 7 puppies. My neighbor asked me if I would go over and check on the puppies before I went to work that day just to make sure the puppies were doing fine. Besides Lily (the mom) my neighbor has two other dogs too. So I went over and checked on the puppies. The longer I sat there look at them I began to count. The only thing was I kept counting more than 7. I was counting 9 puppies. So before I left I sent a text message to Lily's owner say that the puppies are ok but I was counting 9 puppies. Seconds after that I got a call asking if I was kidding about 9 puppies. Later that day I send Lily's owner another text asking that when they get home to count the puppies. I got a text back saying there was 10! Lily is now a proud mother of 10. Lily is a golden retriever and we are for sure that the dad is living behind us and he is a yellow lab.

True Love

Do you know how you will know if he is truly the one? I think I do. He should be the one who supports you no matter what. He will catch you when you fall. He will love you no matter how bad you screw up. He will want to show you off to his friends. He listens to you. He accepts who you are. He thinks you are beautiful with no makeup on. He doesn’t care how you dress or how you look. He likes you for you. You two can be dorks together. If you hang up on him because you are aggregated with him...... he will call you back. He will call you 20 times while you are asleep until you answer and still be ok if he falls asleep on you........ When you tell him that you love him he argues with you that he loves you more. They make you smile when you are upset... even when it is making fun of your friends. Or when they make fun of your laugh. When you have the hiccups they think it is cute and make you laugh even harder. Yes this sounds dorky , but it is all true. I am with the guy I LOVE! I am in love with him and he does all of this. Also when i think of him i smile. Yeah you guys might have an argument, but you talk through it and everything ends up being ok in the end. Also he STILL LOVES YOU!!!! When you find someone like this hold on tight and never let them go :). Cherish them with your whole heart. Show them that you love them as much as they love you. Let them know that you feel the same way. You will never regret it. No matter how many miles are between the two of us we will love each other the same!

Very Funny Dogs 3

I just love when I get those chain letters in my email inbox. Most of the time, I will admit, I do not read the message or pass them on. There are a few that I do read that have pictures in them that look like the pictures in the youtube video. These pictures always make me laugh when I am not having the best of days. Don't we all need to laugh at least once a day? These emails are the only emails that I pass along to friends and family. We always talk about the things that make us laugh and enjoy life. Most of the time the emails that have these pictures in them are always brought up. The emails always consist of sayings like; "If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile... But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me,"  “a friend is the one who comes in when the whole world has gone out” and “a true friend is one who thinks you are a good egg even if you are half-cracked.” They are always the cutest sayings that somehow always go with the pictures. These emails are so cute and always make me laugh. Have you laughed today? If not watch the youtube video. 

What Are People's Thoughts On LONG DISTANCE Relationships????

I hear about so many people in long distance relationships. I just wonder how many of those relationships actually last. I am now, currently in a long distance relationship. My boyfriend of over two and a half years decided to go to school at WYO Tech which is in Laramie, WY for nine months. It has been almost a week without him and I am not quite sure how to handle things. We went to high school together, so we were with each other every day. On top of that he worked for my dad, so he was always in touch and in sight. Now he is over four-teen hours away if you drive and a plane ticket is just too much money to visit for a weekend. I guess I am wanting some advice on how to handle all of this. I am actually not quite sure. I know that we can get through this but I have a very strong feeling that it will be very hard. Yea, he gets to come for Thanksgiving and Christmas but that is just not enough. How do you go from seeing someone every other day, if not every day, to not seeing them at all and only get to talk to them on the phone? This is defiantly going to test our relationship...I hope it will turn out good.

Fly without Fear

So after class today I am boarding an air plane to Wyoming. I love to fly in a plane no matter what size the plane is. This really gets me thinking about how many people have either never flown or absolutely have a fear of flying. How can someone really hate flying? There are some many people that i know that have never flown in an airplane before. Sometimes i ponder this. But they then explain to me that their family usually drives everywhere on vacation and they never leave the states. Are you kidding me! Why would you not want to experience being in the air and think of how am I really up this high and how amazing is this? On the other hand, I do know a hand full of people that will not step foot on an airplane. Then I have some that will only fly in the big planes and not step foot in a peddle jumper. To tell you the truth, I think that peddle jumper flights are the best. I just wish people will try new things. Why be scared of what could happen and find out how fun and enjoying flying would be if they would just take a chance. I really dislike people that live in fear. What are those people living for? What are you living for? Why not step on a plane and find out that everything will turn out fine? Don’t live in fear and step on that plane.

Strange Driving

So I was headed to pick up my aunt from the airport yesterday and for some odd reason it took me thirty minutes to get from my house to the middle of town of Waterloo. When it usually takes me about ten to fifteen. There is two ways that I can get into town. The one way the city is redoing the road, so I knew not to got that direction. So I took what everyone thinks is the long way but it is really not. Everything was going good. I was on time, actually i was running early. I got to Route 3 and I had to sit there and wait to get on the highway and there was four cars infront of me. So I waited untill it was my turn to get on Route 3. People were not driving the usuall speed they were much slower. I get on Route 3 and drive into town, on the way there is two cops, one that has a person pulled over and the other just waitng to find his next person that is doing just a few over the speed limit. But how is that possible when the speed limit is 55 and I am behind a line of cars only doing 35. So I take it that people see a cop car and think that they need to do way below the speed limit when they just need to be drving the speed limit in the first place. Then on top of already running late to pick up my aunt for the airport, I get stuck in traffic in Missouri. I mean really come on, this much traffic at eight in the morning. I thought that ruch hour was already over and come to find out it just began. So I finally got to the airport and I walked inside to baggage clains to meet her. I had to wait about five to ten minutes but finally there she was. We picked up her luggage and headed back home.

Addiction to FaceBook

I barley have any time to sit down and relax, let alone get on facebook every second of my life. I do not see how people do it. Every time I get on, that is when I get a chance; everyone is talking about everything and everybody. My question is WHY WHY WHY??? Why would you want everybody to know everything? I have friends on facebook that comment on everyone's statuses, pictures, and comments. I never have the time to upload pictures, comment on my friends’ statuses, and comment on other friends' comments. My second question is where do you all get the time?? I just "love" (really hate) people that update their status every other minute of their life. Like really nobody cares just you are just going to be at 2:30 in the morning or if you had to wake up early to get to class that you were late for. Hey guess what I really do not care and I doubt others do. I am sorry if I am offending anyone but in my mind I do not think it is necessary to post every little detail in your life. To me it tells me that you have nothing better to do or even talk about. I will admit I use to get on facebook everyday, now I am lucky if I get on it at all during the week.

My 1st Blog

    This is my very first ever blog and I am not quite sure what to "blog" about. This is my first year in college and so far I am enjoying it even though it is only the second week. Before this semester ends I am hoping to find what my future career is. I am currently undecided. I have some what an idea but i have several. The classes that I am currently taking will help towards a degree for any of my ideas. So that is good at least. I am employed at Wm. Nobbe & Co., Inc. I have been working at Nobbes for a little over a year now. I am the part-time receptionist and do large projects for the company. I enjoy working there, the atmosphere and the people I work with are great! To tell you the truth I would rather work than go to school.146 My biggest challenge this year is not passing this college semester (I should be able to) but having the person that I love be fourteen hours away from me for nine months. In simple words my boyfriend for over two and a half years now is going to school in Lamaire, WY at WYO Tech. He is going for auto collision repair. If he would go to a school around here it would take him over two years. So he decided to go out west for nine months and get his schooling over with. I am very proud of him for making such a big decision. Anyway for not know what to write about, I sure found enough to write about. I have yet to decide if I am going to make my blogs relate to each other or not. I guess we will just see.
