Life's rough...

i've been having a lot of rough days, and while i was real upset about having to go home from work today... i went in to my car, and there was a red rose, and a "just cause" card from karl.... :)

I need to relax

So. Apparently there is not one soul right now interested in living in this house, unfortunately.

I'm in indiana with the dog, and karl for the weekend. Sister just had surgery, and my grandma's having a picnic.

I could really use some relaxation time.

This sucks...

Things at the house have been "interesting" I'm hoping to get into another apartment soon, but i need to find a room mate to take my place.

A promise...

So I've had some ups and some downs the last couple days...
NEGATIVE I got fired and rehired from work - not my fault HR took care of it
NEGATIVE my ring broke after only having it 24 hours
POSITIVE lance was in town this weekend
POSITIVE they're fixing and sizing my ring for me by saturday
POSITIVE : THE RING I'M TALKING ABOUT IS DEFINITELY A PROMISE RING FROM KARL!!>

My ring...

I never did post that picture of my ring....

Weddings...

So Karl and I went to my cousins' wedding the other weekend, which I was in... and we got ONE picture out of it. haha so here it is!

Cabin fun...

Karl and I went to visit his parents at a cabin this weekend. It was such a lovely time!!!

I fed the baby fishies off the edge of the dock.. with his dad's polorised glasses hah

And Karl's dad, Karl, and I went fishing on a boat, and saw the most beautiful sky!

Birthday bliss...

WONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT MY BIRTHDAY 2K4
MY lovely hunny woke me up at 7:30 yesterday to tell me happy birthday ( along with every other family member!)
Then I got a JOB!!! at Kindercare!!! working with Toddlers!!
Shopping for a new dress and shoes!
Walking in to Karl's house and seeing him all dressed up, and handsome!
Shopping and cooking our (horrible) meal together.
The gifts Karl got me : Massage oil, Sea Salt hand scrub (B&BW), Mates of State CD, Dinner, 3 pink roses, a very very cute card, and a foot massage!

My man!

Finally the man of my life!!!!!

(Just joking ... that's Ceazar)

this is the real man of my life!

Goin' home...

Karl and I went down to Indiana for the 4th this weekend.

We took Daniel, my 3 year old little brother, to Spider Man 2. Amazing! Especially watching Daniel watch the movie. I'd have to say I proved my "mommy instincts" that night by carrying a large popcorn, a large pop, a box of candy, my purse, and Daniel all the way from the counter to our seats 6 rows down and all the way in the inside! yyahhhh. Oh and it was quite amuzing when we walked past the ice cream machine and he started whining that he wanted some, and me quick as lightening replied "on that's fake hunny there's no ice cream in there" and he said OKAY what kind of little kid says ok!? but .. that was good.

Also the parade, fireworks, and cook out with Karl and the family was pretty nice as well.

I hope every one else had a lovely 4th as well

Zoo time

Karl's family and I are going to the binder park zoo today for a picnic! It will be quite fun!

- i have been doing quite well lately, i've gotten more sleep then ever before! its wonderful!

10 months...

So, the house is signed and paid for. It feels pretty darned good.

As of Sunday June 13th, I will reside in the lower bedroom of 144 Burton St. SE. Grand Rapids, Michigan.

You should come visit me.

I will be living with 4 other lovely girls. and maybe a Dog!

TEN MONTHS for Karl and I!

Sweet boy...

So, I walk in to Karl's house Friday night, give him a hug, lay my stuff down, and curl up next to him on the couch.

I look up at him, and he's got the wierdest face ever, so I'm like "what's your deal"... and then I turn around and look, and THERE'S LANCE AND KRISTY P. holy crap!

They were hiding in the bathroom, and they sure got me!

We all hung out friday, and some saturday..

Saturday Karl and I went to Jade Garden for Tofu, and we were asked if we wanted the "usual". - awesome feeling!

PS. my car has to officially visit the car doctor for the first time this week. BUMMER.

PPS. nicole is in town - opposit of bummer

Wedding picture.

Here is a picture of Karl and I from the wedding. It's the only one I have, unless I get copies of actual photos.

Weddings...

This weekend I stood up in my cousin Wendy's wedding.

Friday night we all went to chicago on the train/CTA to some irish pub down town for dinner after the rehearsal. Sooo good. and Saturday was the big day. She was the most beautiful bride ever, and I was the most embarrased bridesmaid ever when my flower fell out of my hair exactly when I started walking.. I have some pretty amazing new cousins after this wedding.

Saturday night Karl and I stayed at my moms, got tofu, hung out with my momma, aunt, brothers, and sister. Sunday morning, went out for Mother's day breakfast..

all in all it was a good weekend.

Good man...

Karl bought me a rose today… for no reason. It was lovely!

The Zoo

Karl and I went on a picnic and to the Zoo on Saturday. I must say that is by far one of my most fun experiences with him ever! It is so great to beable to feel like a little kid again at a new zoo! I definitely suggest you take your best friend, or your significant other to the zoo this summer!

This is Karl.

today was my birthday, it is kinda late.. and it was all right.

ashley bought me the new modest mouse cd, and its incredible. i would recomend it. and i got a nice note from miss sarah, and thats about it. not too bad, im really happy with them both.

happy easter everyone. what a beautiful day.

A good weekend

I had such a lovely time this weekend.. I'm glad I got my health back for the nice weather!

I played video games with Karl, had dinner with Karl's grandparents, went on a date to see enternal sunshine of the spotless mind (also with karl-which by the way is absolutely amazing.. go see it), went to a wonderful show Saturday and saw Stilly and tons of friends, walked off trails with.....Karl. hehe. I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot

This is Karl.

well, today was excellent. so warm, i even made it to skelletones this morning on my break, and that was a nice time.

tomorrow, ashley is coming hopefully.i cant decide what show to go to this weekend. i really want to see mecury radio theatre, but i dont want to see any of the other bands, nor do i want to spend 7 bucks for one band.

or i could go see 88mph. but i really want to see mercury.

dang im stumped

oh well, it all depends how im feeling at the time.

ive decided that when i get old, i want to live in the country and own 3 bulls, 2 pigs and 2 great danes. dont get me wrong, i wont eat the pigs or the bulls, i just wanna pet them. one of my pigs will be an indoor pig. its gonna be sweet. you are all invited.

In the hospital...

I just haven't been able to journal on account of being in the hospital.

I was rushed to the emergency room by one of my co-workers around 10am Thursday morning, I think anyhow. My body was attempting to pass an 8mm kidney stone, acompanied by approximately 32 other smaller kidney stones of various sizes.... Needless to say, my kidneys failed miserably.

I was in the hosptial for oh, I don't even know. A couple days. On morphine for the entire length of my visit. Every 8 minutes I'd get a dose, and every 4 hours I would get a "big one" as I liked to call it. AKA a huge shot that would knock me out for a while. I'm not sure really where I'm going with this...

I was in massive amounts of pain... I had some surgery called lithotrypsie or something like that... I peed alot of blood, slept alot.. Apparently I experienced the about the same amount of pain as someone in labor, or some one having a massive heart attack. Luckly I dont remember most of it. We finally convinced them to let me come home, some how.

Karl has spend the last couple days with me... I've been on a lot of drugs since I got home.

The mornings really suck, I hurt alot. I absolutely hate peeing right now.. And I miss karl.

This is Karl.

ive realised a lot today.

ive realised just how good the sun feels, when its warm.

ive realised just how good old school living sacrifice is.

ive realised just how much i love the drums.

ive realised just how much i love ashley.

its a nice day.

ive got a nice weekend planned.

includes, jousty, stephen, more jousty, snare drum, ashley. booya

Best boy...

So, I wish I could tell everyone how I have the best boyfriend ever....

I'm working full time. Leave at 8 am, get home at 5:30ish. Plus babysitting on Weds and Thurs evenings. Then Michigan/Karl on the weekends... It makes me pretty tired and busy!

Ultimate Laziest Weekend Ever.

Karl was here for the weekend, and I think it was the Ultimate Laziest Weekend Ever. In fact, we'll just title it that, because it fits so well. As always, I had an amazing time.

Daniel, my darling little brother, woke us up at 8 AM this morning. And we couldnt resist the cuteness! So we played with him till lunch.

I got a cute bathing suit, and had some awesome home made bread before Karl went home. He tucked me in for a nap (which is a good thing, because I was so tired, I was on the verge of tears every 5 seconds. ha) and then he went home.

it's been a good week.

So I'm having a pretty good week, minus getting sick.
I managed to get my work done to graduate tomorrow,
and Karl, the lovely boyfriend he is, drove from michigan
to accompany me to my "family night" for my special ed
kids last night. I'm really glad we could go together, and
I could say bye to all my kids... Thank you Karl.

Coming up...

So, I realised some things.

1. I have approx. 3 months till I move to Grand Rapids

2. I have about 1 week till I graduate Highschool

3. I have about 1 min to get in the shower, before I'm late for work.

I had a lovely weekend with Karl, featuring hang out time with both Justin and Karl's sister. I hope I dont get sick with what Karl had though. None the less. Good times.

This is Karl.

Valentines Day 04

I had a lovely Valentines weekend with Mr.Karl this weekend. I only wish it could have been longer! We made a wonderful dinner together, and watched movies Friday, Babysat Saturday morning (if you could only see Karl and these kids!!), had dinner at AppleBees (because my mom paid for it all), and watched movies again at home. AKA I slept through them all. Sunday, grandma made us breakfast, and dinner, then Karl went home. I hope every one else's weekend was as lovely!

Wonderful Boyfriend

Alright, so I finally get to Michigan after work, and I'm sooo so hungry. So, Karl and I get some TacoBell, and head back home. I go down stairs to put my stuff in my normal spot, and decide to put my pjs on. And when I turn on the light, there is a rose, surrounded by little baby white flowers, a card that says thank you for being my girlfriend (soo cute), and a key chain (since I havent had one in forever) from Karl. Is that not the cutest thing ever!!!!!

I've moved...

Karl came down this weekend to help me move in to my Grandma's house. I really enjoyed my last weekend at home, and only because he was with me. I have a new phone number now. I wish I could have seen Mishy and all my kids in Michigan, but It had to be done! They have a really nice computer here, but they also have dial up (which uses their primary phone line) so, I probably wont be online very much.

All my favorite people...

I had a very lovely weekend in Grand Rapids! (per usual). I got to see nearly all my favorite people all in the same trip! which is rare! I truely do love them all!! I also got some quality time with Karl, which is very nice, I must say. And YES me, the video game hater of all times, played video games with Karl Sunday night.. the rumors are true. Ha. I start the new job tomorrow, along with the new school. I'm kind of nervous...

This is Karl.
