The weather has finally changed..... I miss the warmth of the sun.

You left my key on the kitchen table. I guess it's really over. Short but sweet, just the way I like it. No more empty threats. This is now officially our song.

Mister gave me the courage to open myself up again, and for that I must thank him.... even if it doesn't seem it will pan out. It's just amazing how far we've come, Mister. You broke my heart deeper than any other love.... you taught me the most.... and will forever be an important presence in my life. Thanks for always being there.... in so many ways. I love you so much!




I've started job hunting. I called my old boss (in tears, mind you) asking him to get me moved back to his office and for him to be my boss again. He is working on it, no promises. My office is so short staffed they aren't going to sign off for me to go back... I can see it now. *sigh* The grass is never greener and I should never believe people with a motive! Learned my lesson, blasted corporate america!

This would be a perfect opportunity to really pursue my dreams..... alas it's so scary out there! I'm sniffing around online for jobs, and trying not to let the travel bug bite me. I just bought a rockin vintage sofa and a giant flat screen TV, I'm kinda stuck here for a while. I can hopefully survive the corporate jungle for a little while longer. Maybe.


I'm having growing pains in life. I'm shedding some people and ideas that I've grown out of. It's for the best, really. I realized then, as I'm realizing now.... life is too short for anyone poisonous to be in it. Love begets love.





Jesse is still in the ICU..... but look, he is awake!! It's amazing what he has been through, and is still fighting like a champ. Man Vs. School bus..... the alpha wolf will win every time. While the docs won't tell us he is out of the woods, I have very good feelings he is going to be just fine. Life is full of miracles, you just have to know where to look.

Oh, Jesse....

This is my formal plea to you Jesse. I've gotta believe that somehow you hear us talking to you.... you hear us urging you to keep fighting. Today makes 11 days since your accident. We all miss you so much, please wake up and give us a sign you're going to be ok. We have so many adventures ahead of us.... so much rock band in our underwear to play.


V is bringing me your iPod and I'm gonna loan the Skyrim soundtrack on for you.... if that doesn't make you wake up I don't know what will.

RIP Andres

May you rest in peace, Andres Romay.... and Happy Birthday. I hope you saw how many people showed up for your funeral last night.... you are so loved and so missed. You affected more lives than you'll ever know...

So busy!

I'm in week 4 of my 18 hour days. I am still working around 50 hours a week.... but now I'm in school full time as well.... for BAKING!! Weeee! I'm in a general culinary class right now, which is pretty cool. Our final exam is a gourmet 5 course meal. Fancy!! Next semester I get to start actually baking. I'm so excited. And exhausted.

Love yas.

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

Happy October.

Life here is as status-quo as my life ever gets. Weekend outings with friends, work work work and all the other little odds and ends that make life so grand.

You know what's funny? When a girl doesn't want a guy until she sees another girl interested in him. It's like a child who throws a fit over a disregarded toy because someone else wanted it off the shelf. Well you know what? She'll tire of you again.... put you back on that shelf. You're going to regret the choices you made, mark my words.

Isn't summer over yet?!

I'd say I'm pretty lucky that life is continuing to get better by the day. A few rough days are sprinkled between the good.... but who am I to complain about that?! Things continue to be good and I'm grateful.

I had my last day at the Art Institute yesterday... and I'm really sad about it. Well, more like it's bittersweet. I'm staying with the same company, just moving to a different brand at a different office. I will surely miss the people I've spent so much time with over the past year (working in close quarters really bonds people!) but I'm also happy to be taking yet another step forward in this company. I interviewed 2 weeks ago and was told I wouldn't hear anything for at least a week... and then I got the offer like 5 hours later. They pretty much gave me everything I wanted without any hesitation. My reputation precedes me according to my boss. I like that! So, I did have some tears saying goodbye to my boss... he has been a wonderful mentor and really helped shaped who I am in this company, but I know I'll be much better off in my new spot. It will certainly make my life a lot easier!! This new spot has so many perks and resources that I've been wanting for months! Working with the military is A LOT of work and anything they can do to make is easier is much appreciated!


I had an easy week being that it was my last so I decided to take off a day and head out of town. Apparently I can't go more than 2 weeks without leaving town. We just had the "adult swim" weekend in Flagstaff 2 weeks ago (which was amazing of course)! I headed up to Jerome this time.... hadn't been there since before I left for Korea. Lots of drinking and sunshine and good food and fun! After Jerome we went up to Mary's in Flagstaff to spend the night. Mary decided on San Felipe's for dinner/drinks and we ended up winning a guitar... pretty good luck, eh? I was 3 hours late for work the next day but c'est la vie.... gotta live life to the fullest!

Yesterday my good friend Kat, her husband Joe and their son Colin came to town! They are staying with me (having a 2 year old in the house reminds me just how anal I am about picking everything up all the time!!) and it's a blast. Joe is testing with the Scottsdale PD so they are getting a feel for the city and checking things out. I got to introduce them to some good friends and we've had a blast so far. Joe is out meeting my uncle (police officer) right now and Kat just crashed for the day (she's pregnant and worn out!) so I'm enjoying a few quiet minutes to my self!
