Ever wanted to know what my beloved home town of Gig Harbor is like?
It’s pretty much exactly like this video.
And yeah, It’s pretty much always raining here. It’s just another thing that I sort of love about Gig Harbor.
It’s okay to be jealous that I grew up here. :o)
Today was a fantastic day! 70 degrees and beautiful clear blue skies.
Josh bought me a new dress, and then we got some Frozen Yogurt at our favorite place – Bella Peach!
Josh and I went for a walk at our favorite park!
We came home hung out for a little bit, then went outside in our back yard and had a picnic.
While on our picnic we read a book that we are reading together – 5 chapters!
We came inside and read more of the book! 2 more chapters!
I did homework while Josh did his own thing then we watched General Conference for our Family Night.
It’s been such a great day.
Don’t these flowers kinda look like popcorn popping?
So, I was a pretty bad blogger last week. Sorry about that. I have been so busy!
School started!! :D Well kinda. It was like a “get to know you” think online. All of my classes are online because I needed to get a job, and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to go to work and school on the same day. It would drive me crazy. So I chose online classes. :o) Yay.
SOOOO on Friday I didn’t get to post anything about my happy times this week, so I will right now.
10 things that made me smile this last week
1. HUNGER GAMES! Yeah.
2. My Kindle Fire spontaneously working out all of its bugs and being able to browse the web again. Hallelujah.
3. Got my transcripts for Winter Quarter: 3.93! HECK YES!
4. General Conference. Seriously, the best ever. {conference started yesterday, but it still mostly counts as last week}
5. This song. It’s really good, and I can’t believe that I had never heard it until last week!
6. These cookies. Seriously, they are so freaking good. My whole family loved them.
7. Licorice.
8. Sister Chelsey. I actually haven’t talked to her in AGES! But I was thinking about things that happened a long time ago with a certain dirty hipster and they just made me laugh!
9. Finally getting a call from Ross saying that my background check came in {It only took 1.5 weeks, but it’s okay}. Now I can work!
10. Moving my dad, and seeing his new place!
This week has been mighty interesting, to say the least! I helped my dad move on Saturday, and then my car broke down. I am not super worried about it, though. It has needed to get fixed anyways, and I think that my car was just saying that he’s had enough. Poor little Optima Prime.
I found some books that I really liked. Too bad they are WILDLY inappropriate, and I would not let my family read them.
My brother and his wife had their new baby today!
Her name is Farrah Jeanne, and she is the the CUTEST newborn. I love all of my nieces {all 6}, and my one little nephew.
That’s all for now. See ya tomorrow, I hope.
I actually forgot that I even had a blog … weird.
I hope that everybody’s week was as fantastical as mine!
10 things that made me smile this week
1. Getting a 98 on the math test I took a couple of weeks ago
2. Discovering Pandora. I know, I am so behind on the times haha
3. The season finale of The Walking Dead! WHAT IS GOING ON?! So good!
4. Spring Break!!!!
5. My husband dancing around to the Killers “Somebody Told Me”
6. SUNSHINE!
7. Watching Katy Perry and Taylor Swift music videos with Josh.
8. Josh lip syncing to said music videos
9. Talking to my mom
10. SEEING THE HUNGER GAMES MOVIE! {I will actually see it tomorrow … but knowing I am seeing to tomorrow has made me smile}
Have a great weekend! :D
Today … I woke up to snow. AGAIN! What is going on here?! It’s not usually like this in good ol’ Washington. Rain in March … heck yes. Snow in March … heck no! It usually rains from February until July 4th, and then we have sun for a couple of months, and then it’s back to rain, then some snow {if we are lucky :o)} and then lots of rain. This much snow is a little weird.
I ran some errands today like dropping off some things for my parents and getting my oil changed. Dropping off stuff for my parents took less time than I expected it to … it actually took my longer to drive there than to actually get everything figured out and dropped off. So funny. Then my oil change took almost 2 HOURS! I can only wander around Wal-Mart for so long! Oh well, I got some yummy fruit snacks and Subway today. I had to treat myself for being stuck at Wal-Mart for so long.
Josh and I bought tickets for The Hunger Games! :D We are seeing it on Saturday in Gig Harbor at the super nice theater. It’s going to be so great. Then we get to visit my daddy-o. He is moving next weekend! He decided to stay in Gig Harbor, and that makes me feel a little happier about the whole situation. Whew.
Anyways, that’s it. I am excited for tomorrow. Lots of good things made me smile this week, and I can’t wait to share them!
Oh… I just had to say, I really like Katy Perry’s new song … and video. So I posted it for your enjoyment. :o)
I woke up today to this:
:o) I hope that everybody has had an enjoyable day! Josh and I are going to hang out, watch our show, and work on my paper. Yeah. The both of us. He has so graciously offered his assistance with this paper, and I am so, so, so happy.
We were so lucky all weekend to be able to enjoy nearly 60 degree weather. It was a miracle for sure… because it’s been freezing and raining for over a month.
This weekend was spent doing homework, and spending time with my husband. It was nice… oh, so nice! I love, love, love the time we are able to spend together, which has been a lot more recently. :D
This weekend was also spent talking to the police because somebody in this wonderful Puyallup area broke into my Geo, dad-in-law’s Pontiac, and Chels'o’s Bravada. This person also stole Chelso’s stereo, and all the contents of her glove box {including the registration}, stole the Geo’s paperwork {registration and other things}, and also the Pontiac’s paperwork {again, registration and such}. This wonderful, wonderful person also switched ALL three of those cars into his name and reported them stolen. We attempted to file a police report online {because that’s what they said to do}, but the website wouldn’t work. At around 10:30 Saturday night the police showed up and knocked on mine and Josh’s basement door… and they had found our information! The police were onto the perpetrator for other things, and when he was running from the cops he dropped all of our stuff at a house that he was squatting in.
Anyways, the policemen stopped by and gave us a police report and told us to expect our cars to be stolen within the next few days. So far we have been lucky because this kid hasn’t come back… yet. Josh’s dad went to the DOL and got it all figured out, and everything that has happened is in the system now. I guess that the bad guy said that we sold him those three cars… and it’s been pretty messy. We are just so lucky that the police were doing their job trying to catch the guy that did this, even though they had no idea what he had done to us. They have his name, and his address so hopefully he will be caught soon.
Anyways, I was looking at blogs… because I do that instead of doing homework sometimes. Even though I already follow this lovely lady… I don’t always read her posts {which is so bad}, and she is amazing. In every way. And I aspire to be like her when I grow up… event though we are the same age. Her blog is The Shine Project, and what she does is fantastical. It makes me smile when I read her blog because I know that there is one person that is impacting the world for the better. She truly is amazing.
Have a great rest of your Monday! :D I am going outside now, since it’s so beautiful.
