HALLOWEEN!!!

Yay!!! Ash and I spent the day today at walmart and d.i. and walmart and kmart and walmart looking for costumes!!! We spent hours trying to figure out what to be and what to do!!! Well... we finally decided that we would be ballerinas and we made our own tutus and they are SOOOO STINKIN CUTE!!!! Im not even joking for a second!! AHHH!!! Im so excited!! Pictures are to come for sure!!!!

Okay... so I haven't been on here for quite sometime now but, since I work almost everyday and have lots of downtime here, I am starting again!!!! YAY!!!

Where to even begin??? These last few months have been crazy. After all of the trouble deciding whether or not to go to hawaii and leave BYU idaho for the fall... I came back!!! I don't know why sometimes... i feel like its the same crowd every where I go!! It sometimes seems like people here get stuck in the Rexburg bubble and never grow up. Maybe I'm wrong, or maybe you can agree with me. Now the dilemma is wether to stay here and finish or move to hawaii to finish! Yeah, sure, the weather is warmer there and I would get to play on the beach and do all of that fun stuff... but all of my friends are here!!! Leaving my girls would be no fun! They are seriously the best!!!

I just want to make a note of the friends that I have!! My girlfriends are the BEST girls in the world!!! I just wanted to thank them for being there for me this weekend!! They have no idea what that meant to me!!! Building a fort and watching the Little Mermaid was the BEST idea EVER!!!

Hmmm... What else??? I am quickly losing hope that people can just be good and kind and all that fun stuff!!! Seriously... last week was information overload! Then this week dealing with stupid girls who only care to get their way. They could care less about the feelings of anyone else and they do what they can to get what they want regardless of how it hurts other people! It bugs me that I am told that I am the selfish person when I am just doing what I can to not to lose the most important things to me! And then in trying not to lose them I end up pushing people away!!! Its like a vicious cycle... so this is a huge Im sorry to everyone that Ive pushed away!!!

I am going to post pictures of everything soon!!! (Thats the fun thing about facebook!!! :) )

I GOT IN

I got accepted to BYU-Hawaii!! Finally! I am so excited. I will be headed out there hopefully in January for 2 years to finish my last 5 semesters of school!!! YAY! I am seriously soooo super happy about it!

Flashback Friday

Since I missed throwback thursday today will be a flashback friday!!!! Remember all those shows we used to watch when we were in elementary school...Clarissa Explains it All, Legends of the HIdden Temple, Rocket Power, Hey! Arnold, Duck tales, the list could go on forever!!! These shows rocked!!!! So... today is dedicated to them!!!

I'm Going GREEN!!!

Im so bad at this whole blogging thing. I'm good for a few days and then I'm bad for a few weeks about writing! But...I am going to try to be better. I'm using this as like my journal thing.

So, I have been good about going to the gym daily. My new favorite thing is spin class! I made this super cool mix on my iPod (with all the songs Kyle put on it, of course!) to cycle to. But, it doesn't seem like I am getting super toned. Losing this little floating around my waist is a little bit hard especailly because most of it comes from diet. So, in order to make myself healthy... AND to have a rockin bod... IM GOING GREEN!!! I am going to be healthy... cutting out all that junk that I eat that I don't need. Plus that... being healthy will help me focus and all that other fun stuff. I am way super excited about it!!! YAY!!!! Anyone who wants to join me in these efforts is more than welcome. It should be the adventure of a life time!

Anchors and Sailboats

I have this super weird fascination with anchors and sailboats. I don't know why but I think they are so cool! One night I was sitting on a lake in Celebration talking with a friend and there was a sailboat just floating... I thought it was the coolest thing and I don't know why! They are just cool! One day I am going to live near an ocean and go sailing regularly! If anyone wants to join me they are welcome to!!!

Throwback Thursday!

Every thursday is going to be dedicated to something of the past!!! Today I am dedicating to the year 1988 becuase it was probably the most important year in my life. With out it I wouldn't be here. So heres to you 1988!!!!

Tire Changes

So yesterday Michelle and Aubree needed a tire changed and guess who did it! None other than yours truly! It was my first tire and although I made a few mistakes I was so proud of myself. I knew that going to mutual was good for something at times. So we got the car jacked up and then were trying to get off the nuts, but the wheel wouldn't stop spinning so Michelle and Aubree were holding the wheel to stop it from spinning while I tried to unscrew the nuts but they wouldn't budge (not even for a second!). So then we asked these 2 boys if they would help us and they reminded us that we forgot to put on the e-break (which would stop the wheel from spinning). But the nuts still would move... even with strong boys. And... it was sooo cold outside I though I had frostbite!!! Ahhh... so anyhow, finally after both the boys jumped on the tool thing that got the things off... they finally came off. YAY!!! But it really took like 20 min. And then, the spare that we put on was like a little baby child compared to the rest of the wheels. Yeah, we had a pretty good laugh about that one. But, I for sure know how to change a tire!!! YAY ME!! Oh... well that sure was fun!

My New Job

This is the coolest job in the world! I am working on campus in the Photo lab which means I get to update my blog, do homework, and get paid! Really, I couldn't have asked for anything better! Plus that, I get to play on macs... they're so cool. Too bad I'm not a photo major anymore though. Ahh... it was fun while it lasted. Too bad I am terrible at everything that has to do with art. Hmmm... oh well I feel bad for all the people who ask my opinion on work... because I really wont have a clue what I am talking about. I LOVE LIFE! : )

Bring me the sun... PLEASE!??!!!!!??!

AHHHH!!! I can't believe it snowed this morning. Really!?! Where does it snow in April??? What happened to this global warming. UGH... Take me back to florida! Take me to the sun!!!! I WANT SUMMER!!!

My Computer!

I don't think I have ever been more excited to have my own computer!!! I LOVE it even though it isn't a macbook... OH WELL!!! IT IS AWESOME! So... pictures and lots of fun things to write are coming up soon!

My first update before I go into ramble mode... I am so excited to get my own computer back!!! Oh... it will be so nice! And then I can start putting up pictures of everything that is going on in my life!!!! YAY!!!So... I am headed back to Rexburg tomorrow! I really have missed it, but I think that after only 2.5 more months of it I will be ready to peace out for good! Yay for 2 year degrees (even though they don't really mean too much!!!)

My rambling for the day is on boys... I am so fed up with them!!! Seriously though, can any boy ever think that a girl would want to hang out just to be friends or does it really have to be something more to get lunch or ice cream or anything!!! Stupid boys... if we like you... YOU'LL KNOW!!! I can't stand all of the pressures that we have to date and be dating! Seriously, I am 19 and not looking to get married any time soon. I am waaaaayyyy too young for that! I want to finish school and go back to disney and backpack through Europe and live in Hawaii and all of these other things that I am not super willing to put on hold! Is that so bad??? Oh... I want to go on and on and believe me I will soon, but right now I may say something I regret... lol. I'm just frustrated!!!!

Sad?

So, I can't decide whether or not I am sad to be gone from Florida! I am for sure glad t obe back... but I miss some of the people so much! And... I miss Beauty and the Beast... you would think that I had seen it enough to fill a life time lol but I could still see that show everyday and not get tired of it. : ) So, I think I am going to make it a goal to be back there next winter for one more semester before I finish school. Plus that... Mark and Rachel will be there so that will be nice!

Call Me CrAZy

Seriously, you can call me crazy for this but I may not be alone on this one either. Sometimes I picture life just in moments not as something continuous. I just see these moments and I play them in my head like a scrapbook or something. Weird, I know... but I really have so many great photo album ideas because of it. Haha... yes, I will accept that this is a little weird of me but I don't care. It's fun! I really want to make a scrapbook of my life and put music to it. Haha... yeah I'll stop now.

So, even though I am terrible writer and have a hard time expressing what I am thinking in clear, concise phrasing, I am going to do my best (for the purposes of those reading and for my own sake...)!!!

I don't know if it is just me, but sometimes I envision my life so much differently than it is going! Coming to Florida was a huge step for me because I wasn't sure it was the "right" decision and I didn't want to be passing up what was going to be the last semester with some of best girl friends!!! And, yet I came and have had some of the greatest memories of my entire life. But being here has also made me take a huge step back and look at what I am doing with my life and wonder where it is that I am really going!

(So much for this not being rambled thoughts... but I am just trying to write as I think and I guess that it all really only needs to makes sense to me, right?) I don't know... I just really want to make something of myself! I want to have fun being single and living a true single life where I finish school and get a real job and am finally living on my own and doing my own thing.

I don't know what I am saying. I know what I am thinking, but I don't know how to describe it. Maybe I will try again when it isn't 1 am. Until then... have a great night.

REXY is for the SEXY!

(This was the funniest thing... it was dripping all over everything everywhere but it was amazing)

So all things considered, and the fact that I have gained 20lbs, I made an official decision! And, yes, Rexburg I am for sure coming back to you! R mountain I will climb you... Rigby Lake I will visit you... and my girls... we are having fun!

What to do?

So... I am back to square one and I don't know what to do!!! Honestly, I can't stand that I am so horrible at making decisions. So, I made the decision to go back to rexburg feeling great about it, but then something happend that made me really question my decision. I don't know what to do. Here are the pro's and con's
Pro's To Bing in Rexburg
1. kyle, brittany, jessi, kyrie, and lauren, along with others I may meet or forgot to mention here
2. It is close to utah for Maribeth's Wedding
3. I would graduate in summer instead of the fall
4. I would be able to go to church regularly
5. I've heard rexburg summers are SOOO fun!
5. I wont be there when it starts to get cold again
6. I wont be here
Con's
1. I will have to move back to CA in the fall
2. I could be giving up the opportunity of a lifetime
3. I will go up to school with little or no money

I guess the only BIG con is that that I wont have money but I guess I could get a job, right? I don't know what to do. I wish that decisions like this were easier. When I was sitting on the beach yesterday I really wasn't thinking about doing that in rexburg, but just couldn't wait to be in Hawaii! So, I guess I need to make the smartest decision for moving to Hawaii and that would be to go to school in the summer and then save money in the fall! As of right now that is my plan, but I am scared that something is going to change that and once again I will be back to square one! Yay for people who can't make decisions!!!

Rexy, Here I Come!

I have had suh a rough time deciding what to do... but I have finally decided that I am going to be back in Rexburg in the summer. It seriously just makes so much more sense! I will be able to be with my friends and graduate with my 2 year degree and all that other fun stuff! But, this means that I wont be there in the fall. I am going home for the fall and working to save up to go to HAWAII!!! Yay... seriously.. I am going to be living in paradise in only 9/10 more months! Okay... so it is a little far away to be counting down but I am seriously SOOOO excited for what the next year is bringing!

EVERYONE HELP ME!

So... I am having a very difficult time deciding what to do this summer. My choices are either to stay here, in Florida... OR I can move back to Rexburg and have tons of fun with everyone there. I don't know what to do. I am so confused!

1 More Month

I cannot believe that it has been 3 years since Chris died. I still think about him so often and wonder what things would be like for him now! He was such an amazing person and I miss him dearly!

Anyhow, I only have one more month left here! It is crazy to think how fast these past 2 months have gone by! I seriously have learned so much about life since I have been here. It's so weird because the people I thought I could learn nothing from are the people who I have learned the most from (at least so far)! I have made some amazing friends who have made this miserable experience ;) so worth it and I really am going to miss them! I love Florida, but I love California more and cannot wait to be back home! Only 38 more days!

Tuesday Rain

So... last tuesday Andrea picked me up from work and we went to the world showcase to visit a friend and the result...
we were soaked!!! but it was well worth it!

Hollywood Studios

Me and Andrea had such a fun day yesterday! We went to Hollywood Studios and played all day! I don't think we waited more than 10 min to get on a ride! Yay for girls who know how to work it! :) We started our day by watching the Beauty and Beast show to see this super cute boy who dances in it. One of the girls working the crowd control let us sit in VIP so we had excelent seats!!! Oh it was wonderful! Then, we went on Tower of Terror and only waited for a few min. We were so suprised that on a Saturday it was so slow... but I think that it was slow because it had been raining! Then we went and rode Rock'n'Roller Coaster as single riders! Usually we are able to sweet talk the people disbatching into letting us but they were mean and unwavering! Sad day... but we still had fun riding one of the best roller coasters EVER!!! we got to see High School Musical Live and we met Red Ranger! Power Rangers SPD! It was sooo cool! Then... we got super way totally lucky and got to ride Tower of Terror in our own elevator shaft! It was soooo fun! We tried to watch Fantasmic but couldn't get in... sad day! Then we met up with Brandon and his roommate and just played the rest of the night at home. We went swimming and laid around and went to walmart... it really was an awesome day that I really needed! I love being here as much as some days are terrible. It is days like yesterday that make this all worth it!!! "I love disney... I just love it" ~me

Fall 2007

Even though fall semester has been long over... I just really want to write about it! I seriously made some of the best friends in the world last semester. I didn't realize how incredibly blessed I was with so many good people around me! I HAVE THE BEST FRIENDS IN THE WORlD and being here has made me appreciate them so much! They are all sooooo awesome and I want all of them to know how much I love them and that I am always there for them!

IM MOVING TO HAWAII

I am so excited! So, today while I was at work at Disney's Wide World of Sports I remembered how much I love planning events. I was talking to my mom about doing events like golf tournaments and baseball games and all that fun stuff and she told me about the most amazing major I have ever heard of offered at BYU-Hawaii. It is called Hospitality and Tourism and basically it is the major I have been looking for my whole life long! I am sooooo excited. So, I have come to the decision that I AM MOVING TO HAWAII!!!

IM SICK!

I had to go home early from work today because I came down with ... the flu! It is no fun at all. I am tired and weak and feeling ill! :( I guess it could be worse though!



So... I love the movie mean girls. It describes the mean girls I live with so well... they are such backstabbers and I have no idea what I even did. I guess some girls are just plain mean!

Oh... and then something else random! I had a stalker. He was really weird. And, he really creeped me out. Honestly, some days I would 6 phone calls and other days I would get 3 but rarely did I not get any. So then, I asked my momma if it would be mean of me to tell him to stop calling me. I have never been more thankful for the incredible powers of text messages. I sent him a text that read "Please stop calling me. I am way to busy and would really appreciate it if you stopped calling me. Thanks!" Okay... so I guess he wasn't a real stalker, but he roped me into giving him my number because he could get me in free to Universal Studios and then he asked me every day when I could go with him... and then on top of that... he tried to make me feel bad when I told him to stop calling me... STUPID BOY! haha... so that is my fun story of the day.

Anyhow, I think I am going to go to bed... it's only 6 but I am really tired and need all the rest I can get!

The Past Week!!! : )

First of all... thank you so much Kyle for reminding me to write on this. I am going to to my best to write on it everyday starting from now on. I have been so busy with life and work and everything else. Honestly, last night I looked at my schedule and saw that I did not have a day off until saturday and the last day I had off was monday... AHHH... I overworked and underpaid. But, I guess it could be so much worse!

Dear Kyle (and anyone else this may pertain too), if you are seriously thinking about coming on the college program, DO NOT (i reapeat) DO NOT say that you are receptive to working in food and beverage... you will hate your job and your experience could be greatly ruined. I am trying to jump through hoops to get me out of the spot I am in because I could work in food anywhere I go, but having the opportunity to work at disney, doing something disney like, is once in a life time for many people... DO NOT do food!!!

Anyhow, for an update on my life... I have been working constantly but the days I have off are so fun! Last saturday I took Brandon over to Animal Kingdom. He had never been so we decided that we were going to go on the safari first. Somehow we were let into the fastpass line where we found Alysse waiting for the same safari driver we were waiting for. She was determined to get on Chasten's safari without him noticing us so we stood in back and actually missed his safari. She didnt have time to wait for another one so we puled some stings (what else is new) and we got on his safari when he dropped off the last group. Now, I have to tell you that we didn't just get on the safari, we got on mission impossible style with help of one of the managers because we still didn't want Chasten to see us until the end So we snuck on to his safari from where everyone gets off and had to dick down while he rove over to pick people up. We were still hiding and the lady in line with her family that was supposed to get on where we were was heated!!! HAHA... and we didn't even feel bad! Then, Alysse had to be over to studios so we drove her over there and decided to play there because Brandon had never been there either. We were in line for tower terror and a lady just handed me 2 fast passes so we cut in front of everyone instead of waiting for another hour. Brandon decided that he hates that girls get so much(and I didn't even think that we got that much!) Ohhh... and then we went and drew our favorite character and rode Rock n Roller Coaster and then we went to get food and watched fantasmic from fantastic seats. It was a great day filled with tons of fun!

Then on monday, I went to downtown disney to spend some time before my 40% off merchandise was over. After that, Andrea met me over at typhoon lagoon!!! We were like giddy little girls when we went down the slides! They were soooooo fun! I highly recommend it to everyone. And, on top the their amazing slides, we got to swim with sharks and other kinds of big fish (which I am very glad I did because there was a super cute lifeguard working). And their wave pool was so fun!!!

Seriously, being here is so much fun! Where else could I go and have "magic moments" and give them? It is an amazing time! I am so homesick for my friends, I miss them all sooo much! Congrats major MB! You are the best in the world!

A Dream Come True?

Disney has turned out to be an adventure full of dreams coming true!! Well... I wish that was truly all that it was full of. It is true that it has been quite and adventure, for sure one that I will never forget, but all of my dreams have yet to come true. Maybe by the end I will have had the wonderful opportunity to make some of my dreams a reality.

Florida had been gret so far, but I am not even a week in. So, who knows how it could turn out! I start official on the job training tomorrow and am excited to be out of classes and actaully working. YAY FOR WORK : )

So we went to Downtown Disney and spent some time down there the other night. I had never been more glad to be in rexburg out of the cold! Seriously, I was in shorts and flip flops and if felt wonderful! Yesterday I didn't get to go to any of the parks because I got off late but today I went to Magic Kingdom. I finally knew why I was here. They keep on telling us that people come here to escape reality. We, as cast members, help make fantisy real for them! It is a dream being able to see the faces of kids light up when they see Micky Mouse or just rode Space Mountain for the first time. I realize that I am helping these people escape their every day pressures to enjoy a day at the happiest place on earth! : ) Yay me!

Wishes is amazing! Always has been, always will be. For those of you who have not yet been to Disneyworld, I would highly recommend it!

"Have a magical day" everyone! Miss you all dearly!

To WDW and Beyond!

I don't know what it was that scared me about coming here.  And to think that I even thought about staying in Idaho.  Crazy girl! : ) I seriously love it here.  I was in shorts and a t-shirt today. ALL DAY! It is so beautiful! Now, I am scared that I am never going to want to leave! Why? Because Disneyworld really is THE BEST! Who would have thought? 

Although the selection of boys is limited, my roommates all seem to nice and fun. It is a good thing that I love being around girls.  And, the boys across the hall are super fun and super cool! Yay us! 

We went to Downtown Disney, and was peeved to find that at Pleasure Island I get in free to all the clubs but I am too young to actually be let in to them.  But the shopping there was fun! Tomorrow after Traditions I will get my pass so I can get in free to all of the parks! Yay me. So, I think we are going to spend sometime at Epcot! Yay us! 

I will put up pictures when I can upload them! 

And We're Off...

So, I am leaving in like another hour and I figure that since I don't think I am going to get to update this daily, I might as well write one last time!

I watched the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants with my sister tonight and there was a line in it that really struck me. One of the girls said something about how the others around her have lost everything and still love and yet she has lost nothing and is afraid to love. I think that really hit home with me. Sometimes I think that one day getting married is the scariest idea and so I run but there are other days where I really can't wait to get married. So, there you have it, I am truly afraid to love. I think that it is mostly because I am afraid to be hurt. My mom once said to me that the people who hurt us most are the people we love. If we never want to be hurt, then we can never love. And, love should be the greatest thing that a human being is capable of. Love really does "lift us up." Love is what makes people do crazy things. And yes, I am terrified of it. But I do think that it is totally normal for a girl my age to be afraid to love!

Anyhow... I am off to Florida for a few months. I am so excited and hope that I have the best trip. It should be awesome. Seriously, I get to work with Mickey Mouse and what could be better than that???? Until next time, (hopefully soon!)

Scary Movies

There is something about a scary movie that intrigues everyone! What is it though? Tonight we watched Solstice, a movie about a girl who's twin sister commits suicide and is coming back to "warn her." Yes, the premise may seem a little bit childish, but it did everything a scary movie is supposed to do... it scared me! There was a point where I didn't think I was going to be able to sleep by myself and I even asked Hayley if she would stay the night. Maybe I'm just a little bit chicken but I don't understand what it is that continues to attract me to the idea of being scared. Is it really that intriguing? Maybe it is like testing a limit, sometimes that is just plain fun!

More Like Ferris?

Like every decision I make in my life, I have questioned whether or not moving to Florida is a good thing. I have been going back and forth between being so excited I can hardly wait to total unsureness of whether going will be good for me. Now, with 2 days left, I CANNOT WAIT!!! I just hope that it stays like this until I get home in April. Seriously though, I get to be at the happiest place in the states for 3 months. I don't have to worry about school or anything. Sounds like the coolest thing in the world if you ask me!

Well, in speaking of having a hard time making decisions, I have been going back and forth so much with school and deciding what I want to do with my life. There are so many possibilities and in reality, I am the one who gets to choose. I can do anything I want and that kind of scares me! So, heres the gist of it. I started as an exercise science major, wanting to go to medical school at UC Davis, and then work as a pediatric surgeon. However, I didn't think that I was strong enough to deal with the blood and needles. YUCK! So, I looked into photography. Seeing as I am a very observant person, I thought photojournalism would be the perfect job for me! But, after taking only a few classes, I realized that photo was far from being my forte! And now I am stuck. Do I go back to premed? Well, the answer to that should be a simple no. I should not go back. But then what am I to do? I think that every college student struggles with this and I am so jealous of those who don't. Those who know what they want to be and can decide are so lucky! So, I have gone back and forth between several ideas and new ones keep coming to mind each and every day. Weird, I know... but hopefully soon I will figure something out. Until then I just gotta keep on keepin on because life goes on! Maybe I just need to be a little bit more like Ferris and be more carefree and let things fall where they may! : ) If only it were that easy!

Flash Gordon

To most people, Flash Gordon is just a super hero in a red suit, but to me, Flash Gordon is much more!!! : ) He is the greatest dog in the whole world! My dad got him as a present for Christmas 1994 (I believe it was...) so I would have been about 6ish... and I have loved him ever since. But now, Flash is getting old. I really am just so sad about it. Several months ago he went deaf but was still able to run and play and dogs do, but now he is just getting old and is having a hard time just going from sitting to standing. I have dreaded the day that he is going to be put to sleep and the day is coming up soon. I always thought people who loved their animals this much we weird... but I love my dog. He is the best!!!! So, this is to my favorite dog in the whole world!!!

Back to California

So we drove home today and it took much longer than I would have liked because there was so much traffic over the mountain. 2 things that I don't like are going over the mountain and traffic so that was fun! : ) But it sure is good to be out of the snow as much as I love it.

Only 4 more days until Florida! I am so excited and can hardly wait to be with mickey for three months. Yay

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to EVERYONE!!! I don't think that there could be a better new year's resolution than starting a blog! Well... blogging isn't really my resolution but journaling is. And, since I am not big into sitting and writing down everything that has happened to me in a day, I decided that this was the easy way to go.

To begin, I am a college student just trying to figure out life. Just when I think I have got somewhat of an idea of what is going on something happens that ruins every theory had. I guess that is true for most people though. I originally started out as an exercise science major wanting to go to medical school. I think that being a surgeon would be the sweetest job in the world. However, the sight of blood makes me queezy and the sight of needles makes me faint. After realizing that medical was probally not the way for me to go, I swithed my major or art hoping to get my BFA in photography. But sadly, I soon found that art is not my forte. Now, I am stuck trying to figure out not only what I want to do, but what I should do. I guess this is true for most people as well. Maybe one day, somewhat soon, I will figure out where it is that I need to be. Until then, I am just going to have to keep on keepin on.

Enough of that... I had such a great christmas this year! I love the holiday season. There is just something so magical in the air. It is cool because you get that feeling of being at Disneyland without actually being there. I LOVE IT! As one of my presents I got 4 days of snowboarding up at Kelly Canyon, so christmas day, my family and I drove up to Idaho to enjoy the fresh wonderful powdery snow. I took lessons and actually learned how to ride one of those things... I highly recommend it to everyone. It is so fun! At least I think so.

The countdown to Disneyworld continues. I am moving to Florida in 5 days. I still don't know if I am excited for it or what. I am leaving all of my friends to go on an adventure of my own. I keep telling myself that I need this... because, truly, I do. I think that everyone needs an adventure of their own. Whether it is Cuz going to Jerusalem to study for a semester or me working at the happies place on earth, the adventure is one that needs to be taken. I am looking forward to this experience but, I wont lie, I am terrified.

Life continues to go on for me and I am loving every moment of it (well... I'm trying to love every moment. Sometimes it is a little bit hard to). I hope that everyone had the happiest new years! Good luck in 2008 with what ever you are doing.

Until tomorrow,
