a new start!

right now i am living in a house with 3 girls. this is just not something i am a fan of!
yesterday my best friend tara and i went and found an apartment together! now im just stuck counting down the days till we can move in.... :) 2 more months to go!!! YAY!!! this place is just what we were looking for!! vaulted ceilings, two bed two bath, very nice island kitchen, patio, and just overall an awesome place for our price range! the two of us never get into arguments and we can help each other through anything and everything. it will be the best and a blast every day!!!!

Itchy Feet

first of all i hate hate HATE feet. so when i think of them being itchy! just grosses me out.
i'm very excited for summer but the worst part about it is--when my feet get burnt they itch all the time and i just dont want to touch them!!!! haha i do love the flip-flop tan lines tho! :)

family

this week has been hard on me and the rest of my little family!
my great grandmother passed away on valentines day, and just a few months ago my great grandfather passed! i guess they couldnt go without one another on the day of 'love'! they are soal mates and have been for the past 70 years!! neither of them wanted to have funerals so i am having a very hard time believing it is true, hard to think they are really gone if i cant see it right in front of me. todays peer review was tough for me (even if it didnt seam like it)
today i treated myself to a trip home after class, since i dont have any classes on fridays! i am spending the whole time with family; tonight with my mom and tomorrow with my grandparents before i have to head back to forks for work on saturday!

Memory Lane

i dont think i have had my best of favorite memory just yet in for my life because i am only 20 and havent really experienced a lot. if i was to choose one i would pick multiple little things that happened in high school that i just took advantage of. like hanging out with friends, going to hockey games, volleyball/basketball trips, just making those memories with life long friends that i dont get to see or even talk to much now that we are all meeting new people and living different lifestyles. if i could go back in time i would do it over again just to enjoy it more than i did. but for a new memory i am really looking forward to making a road trip with 3 other friends to illinois for a rascal flatts concert the first weekend in march!! ooooh im so excited!! :)

favorite quote

 you must always push the limits, because if you never fail, you will never succeed

there are many quotes i have heard or seen through the years but this is one that sticks with me!! i think eveyone could be inspired by this quote. it is so true! if you dont try new things or fail at times, you will never know what you can handle to succeed. this quote is in my car, room, on the fridge, and writtin in my planner to remind me everyday to try something new, and if i fail at it -- i will still be okay! i have to push the limits to succeed :)

wonderful people

this year is off to a great start! i couldnt ask for better family, friends, roommates, coworkers, or boyfriend!! i could brag them up all day long!! so i figured they all deserve to be talked about on my blog!! :)
family has been there for me all along--but im at a time in my life where i need to make major decision, they are doing a wonderful job of helping me out and making sure i do the best i can.
roommates have to deal with eachother every day. im sure im not always the easiest one to deal with but they are doing an awesome job. haha it takes a lot to live in a house of 4 girls!
coworkers are the best and some of the most wonderful friends in my life right now. im always excited to go to work just to see everyone and there are always plans made to hangout afterwords!! fun times for sure..
my boyfriend is awesome!! always there for me at the end of the day --good or bad-- we are the complete opposite which i think makes us perfect for eachother! he makes me realize so much, im the kind of girl who does things without thinking and he is the one who makes sure to consider all consequences of a situation!! he has my back for sure!! :)
