summer semester is OVER WITH!

soooo happy!
my grades sucked last semester, which was scary.
and i am so glad that i'm finally gettin on the right track again! :]
i can't wait for next semester.

i worked today!
woke up at the crack of 4 o'clock, drove for almost 3 hours, worked for [barely] 2 hours, drove back.
worth it?.... completely.
played guitar hero with brother. [sucked it up]
played sand vb with old friends!! sooo fun!

can't wait for pullman with kirsten this weekend :]

just so happy! :]

not quite there yet

today was an adventure!

it was just me and brother at home today, so i decided to be a good sister and make him breakfast :3

we bought this intriguing apple cinnamon pancake mix, but it didn't cook exactly the same as regular pancake mix... so i made 6 pancakes before i had 2 good enough for us to eat. haha :/

and i cleaned the kitchen! it needed it -SO BAD-

then we sat around bored for a looooonnnggggg time..

played some rock band

ate some totino's cheap-y goodness

made wheat spaghetti with sausage added into the sauce :]

had a pecan pie blizzard (!!!!!)

aaaand went home.

i just ate some honey bunches of oats with almonds, and it was magnificent.

to enlighten those who are puzzled by the blog name, i like to think that i'm trying my hand at being a housewife while mama and papa are gone.

.... i'm not quite there yet :3

cooking is really fun, but i got a little ways to go.

i do, however, have my days where i love cleaning, and today was one of them.

so excited to have a place of my own someday (if i ever get a job, hah) that i can decorate and clean and controlllll [yes]

i like being in control.

speaking in relationship language, you know how sometimes you just feel really anxious and impatient like you can't wait to find someone to adore [that adores you back]

and sometimes you feel strong, mature, and in control of what's going on. independent i guess.

i'm kinda in between the two of those. i just gave up on someone i was pursuing (or whatever), and i feel really good that i finally heard the voice of God clearly. in that sense, i feel in control and like i know what i'm doing.

but i've also been single for a long time. and although i know i don't need a boyfriend, the idea that someone has been marked off my list makes me excited to meet the right one!

ah, the perks of being an optimist :] and a child of God!

makes life much, much easier.

a wonderful night to you, my friend <3

no insightful thoughts

i spent a fair amount of today by myself.

whole family is up at kachess now, except for brother who works a lot.

BUT!

i went with kirsten to get her tattoo and it was awesome :]

it looks really good and now i reeealllyyy wanna get money so i can get one!

and her artist was really cool. phil ;]

then we went and visited andre at work, he is so rad

i got hungry, so i bought some peach mango juice, hawaiian chips, and gerber's baby fruit snacks.

they are frickin delicious.

and now i'm hangin with brother.

good day.

i feel so much better now that my mind is all worked out :]

i really don't have anything deep to say today..

unfortunately i had no insightful thoughts today.

so lame.

i'll have somethin good tomorrow :]

buenas noches

rope swing.

today was a pretty typical day.

i slept in too late again. i tried to trick myself into staying up when i first woke up at around 9 by putting my contacts in, but i just fell asleep again with them in. :/

made some plans with kirsten, but they fell through :[

but we made awesome plans for later! she's gettin a TATTOO tuesday (yes you are) and we're goin to good 'ol pullllmannn this weekend!

i'm excited :] i love her.

anyways. i cleaned for a while (short short while), then went to the rope swing with caleb and joey.

it was awesome. although i always manage to hurt myself somehow when i'm there.

not even sure how this one happened, but i got a nice lil rugburn on the back of my leg.

me duele bastante :'[

you know that feeling when you're just croonin' along with a song, then you realize how incredibly perfectly the lyrics fit into your life at the moment?

i had that today when i was in my room. it made my knees go weak for a second.

first i wanted to cry, then i smiled like a fool (and sang way louder).

because it gave me peace over something i've been wrestling with big time over the last couple days.

shouldn't even be a big deal, but i just cannot get it off my mind!

i think this is one of those times where i pray that God will show me what He wants for me, and then when He shows me the answer, it's not what i wanna hear so i keep waiting for the other answer....

let's just say i have my answer. i've fought it for too long, and Father, i'm ready to accept it.

not what i wanted. but since when does what i want for myself matter? :]

i'm movin on. growin up. and learnin how to not ruin my relationships.

i love my life, even when it makes as much sense as Donnie Darko does when you're watching it for the first time and halfway through you remember you have an online assignment due in an hour.... (my baddd)

God loves you, my friend. don't ever doubt it.

incepted

yeah, I saw that movie today. yeah it blew my mind.
soooooo freakin good, first movie in a long time I haven’t felt like I wasted my money on :]

today I woke up.. too late.. again.
went to allied arts show/art in the park, where my papa is showin his stuff again. go visit tomorrow if you can!
me n joey walked around and looked at crap, played with spinny things, ate delicious food, watched bellydancers.... the usual ;]
it was quite entertaining tho! especially the male dancer. new hero.
then we went and visited andre at his work, saw the new ride, just chilled. but it was awesome :]

soo yeah... that movie is really good.

check out some picatures.

long black hair front left-ish = yeah that's a dude.

papa's stuff :]

say it out loud

i slept in too late again today.. school is gonna be one biggg slap in the face :/
at around 6, my family + briana went jetskiing at levey park.
it's pretty awesome. i wakeboarded, and the water was SO NICE.
i haven't had good water yet this year! and it was really warm (the water was) :]
it was a lot of fun. which i needed. i was really on edge.
i missed village today, and it made me sad :[ and i'm starting to really. really. miss people in pullman.
it has definitely taken a piece of my heart. <3

i've decided i really like blogging. blessings happen all around me every day, but a lot of the time i don't even realize how wonderful they are until i have to say it out loud.
i recommend it :]

kirsten and cassie

tonight, i hung out with two lovely ladies: kirsten lindquist and cassie lane.
we had fun with each other :] they are great girls.
it was interesting, and kind of funny... because i realized how long it had been since i just hung out with girls. other than like... coffee dates.
i guess i spend so much time with boys because i adore the dramaless-ness, but now that i know who my drama-free friendgirls are, i guess i should be less scared to hang out with them.
anyways. point is we had fun. once i figured out how to drive cassie's car :3
i'm really glad living with kirsten last year didn't ruin our friendship. that would have been sad. i really like her. :]
and me and kirsten decided that cassie is getting married soon!! we are so excited for her.
;]

i can't seem to get the future off my mind lately.
just about everything!
school, church, friends, husband, independence (reluctant or not), house, career.. EVERYTHING.
sometimes, thinking about the future makes me really happy/excited/optimistic!

and sometimes it just scares the crap out of me.
(this would be one of those times)

please pray for me tonight, if you could. i don't know why.. but i am so scared.

welcome to the matrix.

i had a dream about stehekin last night... it was exciting. i miss it.
woke up way too late again (noon), so i was waaayyy too tired the rest of the day.
iced chai at kennewick coffee company. holla!
nailed down date for performance there. August 7! come if you wanna :]
went bowling with the family and the joey. i beat my sister the first game and my brother the second. joey is actually good! (i am not)
then!! andre joey and i ate MONGOLIAN. deeeeelicious. i added cilantro for the first time. definitely don't regret it.
and to end the day, i watched the matrix for the first time. i tried to watch it last year, and fell asleep immediately.
in case anybody doesn't know... IT WAS AWESOME.

wrote a paper yesterday (hispano-american semantics, say whaaat). did fun crap today. jetskiing tomorrow. silverwood soon!
summer is going SO fast :[
but i am really excited for the future.
i can't express how grateful i am to have friends i trust.
so happy. luv. :3

veranoooooo.

it's been a super long time since i've blogged... i'll get better at it. it's actually quite fun, but i'm just too stinkin lazy. hah.
well, summer has been weird. i looked for a job for quite a while, filled out a gazillion applications, but didn't get hired anymore. so for now i'm doing odd jobs for parents of friends and being a bum.. which is okay.
i've spent a lot of time with my greatest friends, and i'm super blessed. a couple shout outs to the people who have made my summer fantastic so far:
joey lane. i'm so lucky to have a friend like him; even if it just stays this way i'll be happy. i've been friend-dumped and back-stabbed by so many friends in just the last year or so, and him just BEING my friend and not doing crappy things to me speaks so loud. i pretty much can't be unhappy around him. so if you read this, you are fantastic and i hope we're friends for a long time. :3
patsyanna morgan. i don't think i know anyone that i had more problems with in high school, but she is [AWESOME]. she is so sweet, so frickin pretty, and so honest. i'm so glad that all the drama is gone, because coffee with you on wednesdays is a huuuuuugeeee blessing! i love that we can just... talk. and not worry about word getting around of anything that we've done, or being judged, or anything like that. it is sooooo nice. i LOVE you lady, and i am so glad we can finally be friends!! :]
and katie ellis. although i haven't seen you much at all this summer, [mostly because i'm bad at managing my schedule and keep ditching you!], you're a big frickin blessing to me. i have been a horrible friend to you in the past and you are one of the only people who told the truth when they said "i forgive you." so thank you!! i always got your back. let's hang out soon. i'll stop ditching you i swear :]

also, i'm so excited for next year. my roommate, beth graham, is AMAZING. she is so sstinkin sweet! we're in an awesome dorm (with kris koller as well!), have a fantastic church (which i will have the honor of serving with the worship team at), and i'll have more friends up there(caleb kimura, bryan killinger, joey lane)!! so excited.

looking forward to the rest of summer. life is good. God is better. and i love you.
:]
