bryan already blogged Chicago, and did a wonderful job! so take a look at his for more detail.
im so glad i didnt get sick this year, my skin did start to rash up a bit though... either the sheets in the hotel room, or coldness, or mixture of both... anyway, now that im back home, my skin is back to normal(normal for me anyway!) we got to stay in Chicago one more day than bryan did, so my family decided to take a trip to the navy pier. it was pretty good! the view of the citys sky line was amazing! its good to be home though! we have a lot to do before everyone comes for Thanksgiving!!!

...one month later

sorry about the month long blogging break---- so i suppose i shall do the usual update, perhaps share some silly stories, and entertain with my words.

[Tooth update:]
about one whole year ago i had a tooth incident. it was a catastrophe. it still baffles me in how long that tooth was(see mentioned blog for picture reference)! its crazy! [ i still want to make that tooth into a necklace, then people will be all, "wow thats a great sharks tooth necklace", and ill say, "yea, but its really my tooth, not a sharks tooth", and then they will buy me lunch because im so cool like that ] . so after a whole year of adult braces[yes, i am an adult] my bottom teeth are looking soooooo good! enjoy the wonderful pictures of my fabulous teeth!

[Kittie update:]
we started out with 5 baby kittens, [cute pictures]and have only given 2 away, both to levi's parents! the remaining ones are almost cats now!!! they are getting sooo big! i made a way too cute poster/flyer and had it at the restaurant for a while, i had a few intrest-eees, but no serious clients. i thought the cute kittie pictures would work for sure!
anyway, when levi's parents came to get the second one, we had to catch the kitties, we kinda forgot about them for a while[they had pleanty of food and water, they are just in the downstairs garage, and its easy to get busy..dont judge me]. so we caught all the kitties and put them in a big box, brought it into our kitchen, in hopes of taming them a bit... the next day levis parents came to get their second kittie, leaving us with 3. it got to the point that we could pick them up and pet them. our plan was on monday to go to the grocery store and give the rest away. it didn't work... on sunday morning the kittens escaped! they somehow got out of the box!!!! they were wandering around our house, so my dad had to go on a kittie hunt.... he found them and put them outside.... i haven't seen them for a while, but heather and celeste inform me that they are still around... they are just in need of a good home, we are a good home don't get me wrong, but we just cant give them the love that they need!
experiences like this remind me of why i shouldn't get a puppy.... im not too responsible.


[Foot update:]
three months later and my foot scab has finally fallen off. after about 2 weeks of hopping and crawling, i was able to hobble on my mole-less foot. there is a weird scar, but its ok--- it dosent hurt anymore, and i dont even think about it. i still miss it, but the scar will always be there to remind me of the bond that me and my beloved mole once shared...

[Bryan:]
bryan is my boyfriend, august marks our 3 years of being together- im ohhh so very excited! anyway, bryan is one school semester away from graduating! this summer he in in SLC to do an internship, and already we have taken advantage of the closeness! SLC is only 1 1/2 hour drive for me.. where St.g took me about 3 hours. its nice to have him this close! after he is finished with school, we plan on moving to SLC together.

[home alone:]
my parents have been gone a lot, a whole lot. so far, in this month of june(as of now,18 days), they have been out of state for 8 days... thats crazy... anyway, the past few months have been just about the same. but its ok, because me and the gals can take care of ourselves. we enjoy the alone time to bond. i wish i had some entertaining story's about having no parents home- but truthfully, we are so used to being alone, the fun part has worn off...

[Lilly:]
my bestest friend got married! 06/07/08. the wedding was perfect! i am so glad i was able to be there for her special day- that meant a lot to me--- lilly and levi are such a great couple- i wish them my best-

[Our Fort:]
while mom and dad were out Celeste and i decided it was very much needed to build a fort! it was great fun. our fort didnt really get a name, but we all did... i was: Black Panther - Celeste: The Hawk - Tyler: Sasquatch. it was quite great- i havent build a fort in such a long time, but it was fun.. The Hawk mentioned how she never really had fort building experience, so i did most of the construction... it turned out pretty ok, The Hawk and i watched Matilda in our fort, then Sasquatch came and it got a bit squishy, so we took our pow.wow to the kitchen table.... The Hawk and i were planning on spending the night in our fort, but after the movie, our backs hurt from the ground.... we have also watched Care Bears in our fort[*love the movie!*] ***when is the last time you made a fort? i challenge you to make one!!!***

ENJOY SOME PICS!!!

i love this!!!

hilarious!!!!

work- update/ Dreams

today was my first shift being a waitress, i took tables and everything! woo- i think i did ok... there were a couple things i could work on, so i will!! but i had fun, the gals were nice to me, and they helped me out a lot.. that defiantly helped me feel more comfortable!!!

tomorrow i am going to go with mom up north, i don't really know what she has planned for us, i know i need some more black socks and perhaps a couple more pairs of black pants--- perhaps some Dream Dinners

we have 'Dream girls' here on netflix-- so im going to watch it tonight-- i thought it was great in theaters, so we will see...

not really too much else to blog, other than i miss my bryan so so so so so much- its such a difference to see him every day, spend all of our freetime together, eating all our meals together, everything together, then to move away... its just different..

i am so glad we are still together, we talk every day, and that helps!

i know that later on in our relationship, this will help strengthen us!

i love my bryan-


the end

another day

blah- today- not so much happened today but it always seems like so much--- i went into work today for a few hours-- about 3 or so-- watched some training videos, not too much-- then we had a two hour orientation meeting. i think they do one once a month. all the new hires get to go to it, we learned a lot. it was really nice for me to be on the other side of the 'training fence'. i liked it.

i miss my Bryan a lot!
i miss telling him my silly stories
i miss telling him my lame-o jokes
i miss him answering my questions
i miss his face
i miss his laugh
i miss getting him mt.dews on my way home from work
i miss waking up to a 'good-morning beautiful'
i miss his hands holding mine
i miss playing AC together on the couch
i miss watching scrubs together
i miss quoting scrubs with him
i miss forehead kisses
i miss my Bryan a lot!



i am still doing a lot of un-packing-- i have boxes to go through that are more than half way covering my wall--- i can barely walk on the ground-- my goal is to have it cleaned by the 14th, and have at least 7 boxes for the DI--- because having this much stuff is ridiculous!!!

but it really is nice to be home again- i have about 5 months here, then its off to the next adventure! i think it will work out just fine. im excited to see how things go, how things turn out.
