Finally Blogging Again After All This Time

So here I am blogging again and there isn't really much to say except that I had my first day of school today and it went fabulously well.
I am really looking forward to summer because I get to go to two weddings.
I hope they have yummy cake...that's pretty much why I go to them. kidding!

Ryan is sick right now with that change of the season gleep.
He is kinda puny right now but I know that tomorrow he will be cleaning the house or something. He is never sick for long like me. When I get sick its like dragging myself out of quicksand.

I love pandora.com. It lets me create my own radio station based on musical preference. Its so great when you are stuck at the computer and you don't really know what you want to listen to so you just plug in a singer or song and they build a playlist for you...how cool.

Tomorrow I am going to start draping some summer dresses and hopefully finish my mom's skirt. Now that I can't steal pattern paper from school I need to find a new source. Its so hard to find a large roll of paper for cheap. I usually end up buying smaller and taping which sucks. I am really feeling tropical colors lately and I think that it is because of the beautiful weather that oregon has been experiencing.

One hard thing that I have encountered with online classes is that I am the youngest by far. Everyone else seems to be so much more establish. One plus to this is that its been a while since they've been to school. But I still feel intimidated.

Who doesn't love a smoothie especially homemade ones. The ones at jamba juice are so high in calories I've decided that since I have my own blender I can make my own. And an added bonus..I don't have to hear them yell JAMBA ....JUICE in my ear.

Tonight I am going to get a cool new planner with my mom. This morning she left me some money to buy one but I didn't go to her house so I didn't know about it until she called me and asked if I got my planner. What a wonderful mom she is. She just does nice things for me without any thought.

I was watching Lady GaGa sing live on youtube the other day and she is seriously good live. Much better than a lot of people...cough*KANYE*cough

Back to enjoying the sunshine and watching ryan try to eat a very large crunchy taco

Our wedding

I Can Feel Fall Coming Upon Us!

Today is a dark and dreary day and I love it.
Who would think like this?
We have had such warm, humid weather that I am so relieved to be getting closer to fall.
At the beginning of Summer I am always so excited for the beautiful weather.
It always feels like Fall is going to be this terrible, snarling storm of wind and rain when it gets here.
But alas when it does come I am so happy so see rain and clouds and turning leaves.
I can't wait to see the leaves turning.

Troubles Come in Three's

Everything is getting closer.
Graduation is so close and so is the wedding.
Apartment time is getting super close.
Just 19 more days to go for that.
And I can't believe that summer is almost over.

We got some terrible news about my cousin's husband.
His cancer has returned worse than ever in his liver, blocking his colon and other areas.

We are all praying and hoping for a miracle and I ask that anyone who reads this ..please pray for Jeff(cousin's husband),Colleen(my cousin/his wife) and their two little girls chelsea and katherine and for our family as a whole!

Cinnamon Toast!

I love cinnamon toast and I haven't had it since my Grandma died.
That was almost two years ago.
So today I broke out the 100% whole wheat bread and butter and of course had to mix up some cinnamon and sugar.
Woah was it good.

Its amazing how cold an oregon morning can be in the summer and then how it can heat up so fast.
We went walking this morning at Glendoveer.
It was so nice to get out and smell the fresh air.

I can't wait to go back to school on friday.
I know that sounds really lame but it is my last term ever!
YAY

School Has Started...The Sun Keeps Shining

So I took a nice little drive in my car today in the country and it was great.
I'm hoping that they get that terrible fire contained in Washington and that there isn't any damage to people or property.
I was watching a lifetime movie about a dentist who rapes his patients while they are under anesthesia.
How scary is that.
I am so glad that I go to someone that I've know since I was little and trust.
Oh and I looked at the family watchdog sex offender information website and there are a lot of them out there.
Some are normal looking and some are not.
I think as women we have a sense about situation that are good and are not.
We really have to listen to them.
You know when the hair on your neck stands up and you have that uneasy feeling.
I've had it before, in a parking lot at Washington Square where a man followed me to my car and just as my phone rang he veered off towards his car in the opposite direction.
So scary.
Anyways now its time to roll up the sleeves and turn up the music and get back to some cleaning:)
