Heather's Journal

9:34pm: I FEEL SO ALIVE!
Hey-O! Just waiting for kris to get off work so we can go hot-tubbing so i thought i would update. Well let's see...I got a job at claires and started on monday. I'm pretty excited about it and it IS over min. wage haha. yeah so that's good to be making money now.
Ummm I think i'm going home this weekend and bringing kris! his band has a concert thing at merchants fri. evening so I guess we will leave sat. morning. So for my b-day my boyfriend got me a warped tour ticket (July 9 in the gorge!!) i'm sooo excited it's gonna be so fun there's soo many people I know that are going.
hmm let's see i'm taking a 7:30 math class at CC thru july which sucks cuz it's a 40 min drive from where I'm living....i hate mornings. well i'm off to something more exciting! maybe i'll be on in a week or two...lol

4:02pm: You make me wanna LALA
Hey have you guys missed me? Yeah I kinda have been occupied with other things lately but I suppose I should do a little update of my life. AHH! My b-day is on FRIDAY! hurray- not that i'm actually going to do anything...so yeah i'm still here at walla walla chillin with my boy. I swear I spend sooo much time at his apartment and he isn't even here- he's at work at big 5. Speaking of which I got some kick-ass Nike running shoes from them and a hella good deal! I have to admit I didn't use them last week though. Hmm what else...I'm still looking for a job- it's a pain in the butt! I have turned in so many applications and almost got hired at macy's except for the fact that the hours they want me to work next school year are ridiculous....oh well hopefully it's for the best. Once I get my job I'm gonna save up for a dirtbike so I can go out with kris- i'm soo excited cuz he can get me a good deal. I feel bad that I'm not home for father's day although I saw him last week for a short period of time. I start summer math school tomorrow...dangit! i'm not in the class I want so I have to go tomorrow at SEVEN THIRTY and talk to the teacher so he will bump me up a class. You had to do the math placement class and I scored into math 65 although I want to take 95...i was close! Yea so school is 1/2 an hour away which i'm not really looking forward to. Kris is buying tickets for us to go to WARPED TOUR 05 today! i'm soo freakin excited...ok well i have things to do so until next time...peace out **HBOMB**

12:24pm: oh baloni
I am back from my weekend home yea i got back at 11:30 this morning. I took my boy with me and my parents just love him. (thank god) lol yea it was pretty relaxing. Went to the saturday market after church. I got some pink aviators with rhinestones and a fatty belt. It was wonderful. Now it's back to reality- don't really have to much homework though thankfully. back to un-packing i go!

5:28pm: Hey...I'm not the sin shifter here!
Ok I guess after a month it is time to update on my oh-so-exciting life! Well my spring break has been going alright. Let's see last week was Emily's wedding which was absolutely gorgeous! I'm really glad that I stayed for that. I came home on Saturday-which it has been nice being with my family and my puppy-who is now 2! I spent the first 2 day shopping for spring clothes which went well I must say!
Wednesday I got my wisdom teeth out so I've pretty much been drugged up on vikodin the last 2 days. My face is super fat, i feel ugly, but oh well that's life.
I got my haircut today! I took like 4-5 inches off!! I love it though.
Let's see...my boyfriend has been in el salvador over spring break so he finally called me today-which was GREAT even though it was like 3 min. I'm really missing him*tear* I guess it's the times that you are apart that makes you appreciate each other even more. This past month has been totally amazing. I have been soo happy- it's awesome!
I got my grades for this quarter!! YAY i feel so smart- well i made deans list again WHOOHOO

7:24pm: Hey ya'll I suppose you all deserve an update on my life since so much has been happening. The main news is that I have a boyfriend. Yea i know...crazy huh. And it's kris- who once upon a time was my distant cousin....but then we found out we are not related -NOT AT ALL! LOL Anyways I'm extremely happy and I couldn't ask for anyone that treats me better cuz damn i got it good!!
What else... my classes are going well. I am officially a business major! YAY and I think I'm going to look into marketing- My teacher last quarter thinks I'd be good at it- so it sounds fun!
I'm super excited about Amista and Christina coming here tomorrow! It will be awesome- as well as this weekend. There's so much going on it will be great!
Last weekend I was in Bend with my friend Melissa- we stayed w/ her super rich relatives and rode around in her aunts Escalade all weekend. Did lots of shopping and eating out! It was very cool and it even snowed like 3 inches. It is soooo gorgeous there- someday I wanna live there!

9:59am: A time to remember...
Yesterday was a rough day and I know that there are going to be many more ahead. There are so many people confused, angry and hurting. Last night when in the chapel, I could picture God's face and I know that he was grieving with us. I could see the tears streaming down his face because he was watching us in pain.
This experience has really woken me up. We aren't invincible, we don't live forever. We have to cherish each day, tell others that we love them as much as possible. I pray that God will bring comfort to the family and friends of Brandon.

8:32pm: I'm still learnin'
So I guess it's been since new year's since I updated last. A lot has happened! Well my classes are going great- especially economics =) Anyways this last weekend was pretty busy. Friday I met some new friends of Kris' and we went to a concert which was pretty awesome! Stayed over at his place, went to coffee and church, the modern w/ katie, grant, christina, billy, sonja and britt- it was yummy! We were supposed to go to the MOTOX show in the tri-cities but since it snowed like 3 in here and 6 there...we decided not too. So kris, katie, andrew and jarren went bowling- which I might add that I beat andrew twice and got quite a few strikes!! So I was having a lil bit of chest pain then but didn't think too much of it. When we were done we went and did some cookies in the WWVA parking lot. It was sooo awesome, like pee your pants awesome!! When I got back my chest pain got worse and i started to have an asthma attack.....to make the story short I ended up in the ER for a few hours and was hyperventalating, i got x-rays and a shot in the ass.........and got back close to 3 am. I was so thankful that kris was with me the whole time holding my hand cuz it was scary as hell. And britt sonja and christina were in the lobby to take me home.
Sunday I rested and watched football. It was a sad day in football history.....damn those patriots!!
Today was better but I have a really bad sore throat- i think it's from all the breathing...anyways life is better now. I'm going to go watch CSI soon so i'm excited

10:05pm: HAPPY FREAKIN NEW YEAR!!
YAY! I had an awesome time last night over at mista's. Super glad everything worked out!
Well it's time to say goodbye to vacation **tear** I have had a FABULOUS time this break- i'm not totally ready to go back but oh well that's life!
So my parents invited their friends over tonight, and they brought their children with them...& I'm going INSANE. I didn't get to watch COPS because the damn kids had to watch a movie. And how does that make me feel??! Definately NOT HAPPY.
Anyways time for me to get out of this room! Best wishes for the new year

11:11am: Seriously i just LOVE vacation, i'm lazier than a bum though! Well just woke up shortly ago and watched a wedding story- it was cute. I thought about getting a shower and dressed but that just takes sooo much time to get ready! So here I am writing about nonsense but your still reading it! lets see yesterday the only thing i did was watch tv, walk my dog for an hour, then went to chases to watch more tv. LUVS IT! speaking of those words did you know that my mom says luvs it?! Yea i'm serious!
I'm still thinkin about what to do for new years...theres just soo many options, but whatever it will be FUN- I can't wait!!
Ohhh yeah I looked at my grades and I got 3 A's and a B in my lit of arthur class!! YE-EAH!
Well lots of exciting things to do today so I guess I'll go get ready (2hrs later...)

1:04pm: Merry Christmas Eve!!
Despite what ya'll might think i'm still alive!! I returned Wednesday night from Salt Lake. I cannot even begin to describe the kick ass snow in UTAH. OMG it is absolutely amazing! And beautiful and sunny....oy ve! I was doing grinding rails and making trails through the trees- wow my best snowboarding EVER.
It was a little hard to leave but I am glad to be home again and to see all the people I have missed. I stopped into NWTS yesterday and saw my old boss and assistant rhonda- that was fun- they gave me a starbucks gift card **whoohoo**
I had to do christmas shopping for my dad yesterday!! It was a living hell....let me tell you! But I got the job accomplished and then bought myself some shoes=)
I'm sooo excited for christmas tomorrow! It's gonna be fun- we are opening some gifts from relatives at my aunts house tonight and having dinner.
hmmm just wishing i could go up to meadows one of these days....but unfortunatly the weather SUCKS!!! oh well
Alrighty kris is calling so i'm gonna stop writing now**until next time**

10:56pm: Happy Turkey Day!
Oh how I LOVE thanksgiving. I had a wonderful day!! I slept in, watched football...it was an embarassing game for the lions. I'm almost ashamed to say I am a former Michigonian! We went to my relatives house in Vancouver and had an AMAZING dinner...the turkey and mashed potatoes...yummy yumm AND there's tons of leftovers for the next 2 weeks haha. This evening I went to Kyles and watched both the Apprentice and CSI. It is so much fun to be hanging out with him again. Tonight I also learned some news of something that is to come... It makes me really really sad and I know that when this day comes I will be bawling my freakin eyes out. All I can do is pray that somehow God will intervene.
***I'm thankfull for my friends old and new, for my unique family, and for little Lucy who is sleeping at my feet =)**

Well I have almost made it thru Tuesday minus studying for my psych qwest. I did super good last time so I think I'm in the wrong mind of studying now- if u know what I mean.
I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving...and the snowboarding that is coming soon. If I can just focus for another week and a 1/2 I'll be in good shape.

It was so much fun working out with her and sweating like crazy mmmm.... YEa so lookin forward to this wknd- lots of fun parties and events! I still really really wanna dress up!!Until next time

My new favorite quote: "Perhaps we all give the best of our hearts uncritically to those who hardly think about us in return."
T.H. White

How true is that...*tear*

5:12pm: Ok so I haven't really been updating lately..mostly because nothing incredible has been happening in my life. School is school- I have 2 tests this week and 1 next week...I did get an A on my history test this past week. You have no idea how excited I was!
Work is going ok- the people are funny. Still like my old job better though.
Stayed at Dana's last night--hehe good times. I've missed taking baths=)
In other news~ I'm looked for a Thule snowboard rack...I'd really like to find a "Previously Owned" one instead of paying $300- but whatever I'll get it some way or another
I got my voters ballot in the mail! YAYAYAYAYAY!
And I'm trying to make decisions major-wise. It SUCKS

8:14pm: This icon is sooo kick ass. Rock on with your bad self Mr. President!

8:22pm: Hmmm... to go home or not- that is the ?. Well there are pros and cons...not quite sure which one will over rule yet! School is going pretty well- although next week the tests start coming **i'm scurred**
But classes are going really well- surprisingly i like all of them especially into to business. I'm totally multi-tasking, which i might add that i perfected thanks to Mel this summer. Holy crap I miss that woman- now my "boss" (yea not really) is a wanna be hispanic and she's like albino...haha yea work up here is alright i guess- but it better start bein more fun cuz the last 2 days really sucked. Monday I was a freakin walking hairball thanks to like 10 cats i had to hold. And today the dogs (labs) jumped all over me and got me muddy and slobery. I'm supposed to be doing desk work!! Oh well...it's a job. Ok i'm leaving now enough rambling for one day. Peace out

8:49am: Luvs-it!
The weekend kicked butt- From my little adventure friday night- which might have been painful but TOTALLY worth it!(thanks mista) Sleeping in on Saturday and the hockey game with reginald. That was lots of fun- despite the hawks losing but at least there was some good fights! Yea so some good quality time together...some days i just love my life! Sunday was so relaxing- my mom made me waffles with berries. YUMMY And then I did some shopping- got a 3-in-1 printer whoo-hoo. Anyways it's back to school now and i just want to make it day by day.

9:14am: Yea so I haven't updated for a lil while now. But anyways things are going great- despite my lack of sleep. I just can't sleep the whole night it's like i wake up at 1,3,4,5...gosh it sucks. My classes are all pretty good i think I like my business class the best!! It's a lot of fun- tomorrow we are going to spend time talking about the aprentice. Our teacher is a HUGE fan. LOL
I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooo excited to come home this wknd. It is going to be the most awesome wknd EVER!! And i have quite a few things to be excited about hehe my secrets.
Ok well i'm off to the store. Just thought I would say hi to those who are near me at the moment =)

5:25pm: Well here I am!! In the umm...well fun & exciting town of wally world. Yea so I've just been adjusting-it's goin pretty well(i'm surprised to be honest!) Meeting TONS of people and new friends. So my e-mail is crappy and i can't send nething thanks to my damn virus scan. And sonja's printer will just not work...very frustrating AND I got 10 viruses sent to me yesterday.
On a happier note i'm looking forward to sonja's party tonight and all the yummy food that there will be. Until another time..... Can't wait for the older boys to arrive on campus LOL

8:37am: Holy motherpucker i leave this afternoon!! I still have 5 people to say goodbye too, haven't packed a thing, kinda freakin out here.... yesterday was good except for the whole drivin like a mad woman cuz i was so freakin rushed. I was supposed to hold a MK party for my boss and her friends- but the friends all canceled on her for various reasons. BUT THE NIGHT TURNED OUT WONDERFUL. So it was my boss mel, her husband and my southern hottie. We jus chilled by the fire pit outside had some good talks - her husband is a photographer so he got some good pics. Yea I feel a lot better now...Found out quite a few secrets at work now that i'm gone- like how many of the guys have a crush on me....crazy stuff especially when 2 are married...??! Anyways yesterday i found out i gotta get all my wisdom teeth out CRAP! And i got to see Linz which was a lot of fun and the food was great as always! I so wish i could spend more time w/ my friends that i'm saying bye too!! Ok well I gotta go to the bank before church- cuz it will be closed tomorrow.

Man I barely slept last night cuz so many things were going through my head. I never knew that going to college could be so hard.
