Goodbye Catherine


My bestest friend in the entire world is moving to portland, oregon tomorrow. i had to say goodbye to her tonight and it was one of the hardest things i have honestly ever had to do. Selfishly, i don't want her to go but I know it's something she needs to do so i support her 100%, even though it's hard! We have been friends since we were 14! I never knew that when we met in gym class in 9th grade that we would become best friends. I have posted random pictures from the past 2 years (because thats how long i have had a digital camera and i wish i could post some from high school). enjoy!

i wish the best of luck to you my dear friend. You are my famiy. I will always be here for you! I will miss you so much! And I love you even more. Catherine and Sawyer

Presidential Candidates

So I am one of those people who can't stand it when someones says they like a certain candidate but have no idea what they stand for. Our next presidential election is going to be an important one; i think probably the most important election in our lifetime. I don't care if you are a republican, democrat, somewhere in between or neither but PLEASE INFORM YOURSELF. Yes, my views have become more liberal over the past few years but I would just be happy if you do some research and pick the person that you really think would be right. And seriously, go vote.

This is a website that gives the candidates and all their info: background, their views, etc. There are lots of websites/newspapers/books out there so if you don't look at this one, look at something.

peace and love.

yay

I had a really great week and weekend! I absolutely love my job! The activities I did with John this week were going to the indoor pool, going to baby lapsit time at the library, a play date with Eva and Chelsea and a lunch date with Ashley and Camden! This weekend I hung out with my new roommates a lot and it was a ton of fun!

These are pictures of my new roommates:

John Harrison

This is little John John. I find myself calling him that all the time! I absolutely adore him and I have so much fun with him! He is a very good baby and very rarely cries. He loves to smile and laugh all the time . I have not gotten very many pictures yet but I will post more soon! The family is great too. They have another son who is 12 years old and he is so sweet too. We have bonded already by playing the wii and over talks about harry potter! I feel so lucky to have this job! I have just had a hard time adjusting to waking up early and this week I have been going to bed so late since I was moving and what not. I will post more soon!

Between now and then

After Christmas things got really busy for me! I have been up to SOOOOOO much and I barely have had time to stop and think.

I spent New Years with my friends Heather and Chuck. We just hung out at Chuck's house, watched football, made some yummy food and toasted with champagne at midnight.

I went to Kentucky to visit my mom and Aunt Ilona at the very beginning of January. It was a hard trip. Please keep my aunt in your thoughts and prayers!!

Before I left for KY, I decided to move!!! My current status: I am all moved in minus my furniture so I have been sleeping on the floor. I am living with 2 girls who are my age, single and working so I think it is going to be a lot of fun! Also, I have the master bedroom in my apartment which includes a private bath, walk-in closet, my own patio and my own storage closet. I am paying less than I was at my last apartment and my room and closet are double the size!! I will post pictures when my room is cleaned and organized.

I had to move out of my old apartment 2 days before I moved into my new one so I crashed at Julie and Cara's - thanks ya'll!

I also started my new job on Monday! AND I LOVE IT!!!!!! John (the baby) is so cute and so much fun. I love the family I am working with too. I am so comfortable with them and really have looked forward to going to work everyday.

I am so thankful that my life is falling into place!

Christmas Festivities

Christmas was really good this year. I did not take very many pictures. The ones below are from Christmas Eve. Every year we go to a holiday party at Jim and Marianne's. Marianne is one of my stepmother's best friends. My grandparents were in town for Christmas this year and while they were here we celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary! I got a lot of great things for Christmas like a vacuum cleaner, a new hair straightener, grey's anatomy season 3, perfume, several pairs of slippers and so much more! It was a great Christmas and now that it is over, I wish it would hurry up and turn into spring.
