My career in the last year has taken off! I went from being one of many receptionists trying to get their turn in the spotlight working 26 hours a week, to someone with their own office, their own email address, their own business cards, and working full time! I'm important enough to be flown out to a training conference in San Diego, and I don't have to pay for anything! All expenses are paid! I'm a big girl now!!! WOW! It's insane! I'm so grateful for the people I work with (minus a couple). They are amazing, inspiring, and influential to me in more ways than one, and a simple "Hey you're awesome!" doesn't get the point across.
My coworker A and I were talking about how much we love our parents, and how they are SOOO much more to us than our "parents". They're our buddies, our friends, someone that we can look up to, and someone we can just hang out with. (Not to mention they buy us things!!!) I am so glad that I have an amazing relationship with my Mom and Dad. I feel like no matter what I do with my life, and no matter what I say, they will still love me. I wish everyone had the relationship that I have, with their parents.
This past little while, I've been super stressed out as my sister (K) told me that she wanted out of our apartment, and when I asked why--the answer was something I can not control. My sister has issues with our roommates Boyfriend. He IS rude, selfish, bossy, and an all around dick, but that's just how he is! Take it or leave it. My sister would rather leave it. Leaving me to either find another roommate, find someone to take over my lease, or make our current roommate find somewhere else to live. The only person I want to live with is MY Boyfriend, N, and that's not going to happen (at least not any time soon). I asked our roommate to find somewhere else to live. Which then created all this fighting, tension, and unnecessary hurtful banter which resulted in everyone not speaking to one another. It's completely awkward in my apartment when I come home, or when she's home, or when K's home. One of us is usually cooped up in our separate rooms while the other person is out in the family/dining/kitchen area. Can I just tell you that it freakin sucks? I can't even enjoy my apartment, and my roommate. I just want an apology for things that were said that were hurtful and for how the situation was poorly handled... but I feel like I have to be the one to say it first. And I'm not sure I want to. This is the one aspect of my life, that I'm not happy about. I'm the type of person that is proficient in finding ways to deal with confrontation in an effective manner... but this situation just blew up in my face, and I lost my temper. Maybe I should apologize for that. hmm...
Next topic... My diet (or lack there of) and exercise plan... :P BOOOOO!!!! I can't stick to a "healthy" diet to save my life. Working out on the other hand is awesome! I'm beginning to enjoy it way more than before. I'm getting to the point where I want to start swimming again, and I've discovered the "Cardio Cinema" at most Golds Gym locations. It is a wondrous invention! Before I know it, I've been speed walking for 45 minutes! I love it! I've been working out with my trainer Liz, and she is INTENSE! Holy moly! She makes me so sore... that I can't workout for 2 days, and that I have a ridiculously hard time walking up the stairs. So it sucks when I finally decide to go home, because I live on the 3rd floor. haha... But I figure that my diet will come in time, right now I'm just focusing on the exercise part of getting healthy. At least that's how I'm justifying it. ;)
OHH!!! I'm going to change my hair color on Monday. I've always and forever have been a blonde, and I'm changing it to this.... What do you think? If I hate it I'm going back blonde ASAP.
Here are a few of my favorite pictures that I have neglected to post on here of N and I. :)
Nightmare on 13th with Ally and KevinG.. :) 
The very next weekend we went back with N's best friend B his beautiful wife W, and W's sister R and R's boyfriend... It was SOOO fun! The second time, was so much scarier for some crazy reason!
N and I in Anaheim waiting for the Shuttle to take us to Disneyland the first day!! It was a long day of driving, but it was so worth it to get to Disneyland when we did! It was WAY too much fun for two people to have!
This is my favorite picture from our Disneyland trip. We were sitting down, waiting for our Fast Passes to be valid, and we had a photo shoot. It was so fun, and I couldn't stop giggling and laughing the whole time! I love him! He's the nicest guy, and will bend over backwards for you.
