SO BUMMED.

Hey guys!

Let's start on a slightly higher note. My cousin's wedding was SO MUCH FUN! Re-connecting with that side of my family was amazing. Now I might visit my Aunt Claudia in Michigan before the end of the summer! Woop! I found the Golden Bear necklace she bought me in Vail back in 1997. Still in great condition, and totally wearable. If you're from Colorado, or around the Vail area, then you know The Golden Bear jewelery brand is called "The Symbol of Vail Valley". It's such a shame it's a golden necklace...if it was white gold I would totally wear it everyday!



But on a bummed out note, Joe and I don't get to go to Colorado Springs for the Fourth of July. His sister has to work all that weekend, so they don't have anything planned. Oh, and Joe's Dad will be going up there that weekend too because Jenn is having her tonsils taken out on the 6th.
I am SO disappointed. I understand why we can't go, but it's still lame. I was looking forward to the cooler weather. No joke. I'm not spending time outside, it's TOO FREAKING HOT. It's not like I can go swimming or hang out by the pool. Unless that body of water is natural or a saltwater pool, it can't be done. The chlorine eats away the adhesive on my pump. Sad times, my lovelies. Very, very sad times.

Joe is trying to be optimistic and saying we'll find something to do because we're off that weekend. We better find something amazing or I'm just going to be cranky.

I think I'm getting a little miffed now because Joe was supposed to go to my cousin's wedding with me, and he decided not to go because he couldn't afford to go with me to Minneapolis AND the trip to Colorado. Now he didn't go to either! He could have gone with me and met my family!! UGH!


That's all I've got to say for now. I'm throwing a fit and ranting about it. Boo hiss.


Later Days!

Leavin' on a jetplane!

Quick post!

I'm about to leave for the airport! My cousin's wedding is tomorrow and I'm so excited to see my family!

This is my first trip completely solo. Airplane, hotel, different state, etc etc. Mom is freaking out a little bit because of my diabetes, but I know I'll be fine! Prayers for a safe trip are still appreciated though! ;]

Have a great weekend, lovelies!


Later Days!

Oh hey!

Hey you guuuuuyzzz!
(sorry-had to do it!)

It is the last week of school! Thank GOD! Barbara and I did some packing up last week. Within the first day, we had packed up about 6 boxes worth of stuff! So we haven't really done much more since then. The kids still need stuff to play with! On the last two days of school, however, we're going to let them bring their electronic toys to keep them busy! We'll have everything packed up by then! I'll be working the summer program, which is pretty cool! We had our training at corporate on Monday, and it looks like our summer is going to be packed with a lot of fun stuff! It's my first time working in the summer, so it's going to be a learning experience!
I have a lot of my parents asking me if I'll be back next school year. And I have to be honest with them: "It's still up in the air."
They know my situation, so they're pretty understanding. I think whether I'm there or not next year is how they're deciding if their kids will stay in the program. If I don't go back next year, I am going to miss my kiddos very much! You work with them for the entire school year and you get a little attached, you know?

Speaking of jobs! One of my close family friends is going to take me to the VA Hospital in Fort Worth either this week or next week to talk to someone about getting a job! He's in the military/government, so this is a big deal! How nice is it of him to take the time out of his day to help me out? A very big dinner or gift card is definitely in order afterwards!
Joe will be interviewing with Checkpoint very soon! They're hiring 20 people, and his older brother works for the company, so he's pretty confident one of those 20 spots is his. I know he'll get the job! Not because Josh works there (it helps to have a little inside help), but because he has the skills! I never have to pay get to my computer fixed because I have Joe! He's great at what he does, and I'm so proud of him! <3

I made more videos. Yes, they are to "How to Train Your Dragon", and yes, I'm still proud of my work!

New Divide-Linkin Park
I had a hard time finishing this one. I was sick through the majority of making it, and I honestly got lazy and cut it off after the first chorus. It's still a big hit on deviantArt though!


Ten Years Kashmir II (Choir, Film Perc. Version)-Corner Stone Cues
As one of my friends said, "Amazing! You should totally effing make movie trailers for a living... just sayin'."
That was kind of my intention with this one! A trailer/really freaking epic video. I'll let you decide! ;]


I found the external hard drive Joe had given me for either my birthday or Christmas last year. He put all 3 seasons of Avatar: The Last Airbender on it just so I could make videos. I think now that I've gotten the hang of editing, I'm going to use all those episodes for my next video! Either that or The Princess and the Frog! What do you think?!
