Summer Days

Summer has been amazing so far. I got out early May from the University of Idaho and ever since then I have been on the look for a job. Well, no luck still. I have applied to many places and had a few interviews but no one ever calls back. It is so rude. Even if I don't get the job it would be nice to hear back from them to know they are not accepting me, rather than me wondering if they got my application or not. One daycare interviewed me and SAID they would call back. They never did so I called and left a message. They still did not call back. So I went in a dropped off a thank you note just letting them know I appreciated the interview and was looking forward to hearing back whether or not I got the job. Guess what... still no stinkin call. HOW RUDE. This is so irritating. I cannot even believe how ride some people are. If you say you are going to call, you should call!!!!!!!

Jon has a job though, so that is good. He is working for Avista again for his third summer and got a raise! It is amazing. He is making so much money. I wish I could get a job that paid half of what he is making! I am so proud of him, he is such a hard worker and his boss loves him.

The first weekend of summer was Anna's graduation from the University of Idaho. We all rode down to Idaho in a Limo. It was so much fun. My grandma brought doughnuts and cookies and sparkling cider. Then we rode back and the next day everyone came out to our house for her party. It was a busy weekend but very fun.

Then the following weekend was Memorial Day. Jon and I went to the lake with my family for Memorial Day weekend and went to the parade. It has become one of our traditions we have together. I love traditions! Jon and I look forward to the parade every year. It is a very small rinky dink parade that only lasts 10 minutes, but it is so fun to look through all of the booths at the locals crafts, foods, etc. This year was the first year Jon and I decided to spend money on anything. We bought some scone mix from a man who makes the mix himself from his grandma's recipe from germany. The sample was delicious so we had to buy some. We got a orange blueberry mix, sounds a little funky but it was so good.

The weekend after Memorial Day was Katie's Graduation Party. She had her party a weekend early so that she could attend her friends parties the following weekend. I helped my mom prepare dips, veggies, snacks, and drinks. It was a long morning but time with my mom is always fun. Then I went into town and picked up balloons, cake, and decorations. It was a hectic outing, but worth the look on Katie's face :) That night Jon and I went up to my uncles lake cabin because he had invited us out at Katie's party. So we went up, it is only 20 minutes from our house. It was so fun hanging out talking with my cousins and aunt and uncles. I cant wait to go back!

That following week I went to the lake with a friend and hung out for three days. It was so much fun but I missed Jon. It was well worth my tan though! Well, I burnt first, but now it is a tan!

The next weekend was Katie's actual graduation. Whhooooeeee! Busy busy. On friday I helped my Aunt with her daughters birthday party at the pool and then the next day I helped with her sons! They are twins and this year they wanted their own parties. Then on Saturday I went to Borders with my aunt to spend 500 dollars on books for her classroom! It was very fun picking out all of the great books I had learned about this year.

This weekend I am going to the lake with my family and enjoying doing nothing! I cannot wait. I guess I have not had much time to be having a job, but still... I would love to get one! Keep me in your prayers :) I promise I will not wait this long again to blog.

Arby's

Yum! That is the first thing I have to say about Arby's! Haha. So Jon is not very fond of Arby's so I never get to go there, but I have a dear friend who absolutely feels my pain. Her husband is not so fond of the place either. So we have made a few lunch dates, and since the first date we have never gone anywhere else... it is our secret addiction! Haha. Today was one of our much needed lunch dates. She is one of my best friends and I love hanging out with her. I have not gotten alone time with her in way too long. Today was one of the most needed alone times of the year and I think it was the most enjoyable. The past few months have been crazy and being able to just sit down and relax for two seconds and not think about anything with a great friend was so nice! Thanks Ann! We will definitely be going to Arby's at least once more before school gets out! And if we dont make it because of our crazy homework load we will have to go the last day of school, we just have to! Haha. Spending time with a great friend whom you have not gotten much time with is always such a nice breath of fresh air. I recomend it to everyone!

Camera, Sad Story, Superbowl

My mom brought me good news on Thursday during my art class. My phone rang which reminded me to put it on vibrate and I got good news. The workers at my dads office found my camera! It was right where I told them to look in their work truck, but they are men and apparently cannot look in a glove box!!!!

On saturday night I went out with some friends and found out some sad news. A girl I know made a life decision to have sex for the first time with a guy she was not dating and who obviously did not care about her. In the end he ended up taking her virginity, getting her pregnant and giving her a disease! He was a complete ass and told her she was a whore and to not tell anyone it is his. He also told her she had to get an abortion. Well, Jane (the baby) is due to come onto the earth in about two weeks! What a blessing. The mom and keeping her and her family is supporting her. I just want all of my girls out there to know to be safe and only give yourself to those who will love you and cherish you for the rest of their life! You do not want a man to run out and leave you with nasty diseases because he does not care about you.

The Superbowl turned out to be an upset for most of my family. Cardinals played a good game though! I had tons of fun and delicious food! My mom even got me a Costco cake. YUM! I was sad to leave at the end of the night and drive 2 hours to Moscow, Idaho. But you gotta leave the ones you love to grow closer and fonder right? Haha. Well, I guess but I wish I could just be home already! I am sick of school, and homework.

Thinking

So today I have done A LOT of thinking. I have had all day to do pretty much nothing, so I have thought a lot. I thought about all of the homework that I should be doing, the places I need to go, and the people I need to see. Today my mom texted me to tell me to be safe tonight if I go out at midnight for my 21 run. I am going out, but hopefully not having more than 4 drinks. That is my plan at least, I will let you know how that goes.

I was at Jon's brothers house today and Andy (Jon's Brother) invited me to go out with him and his friends tonight when I turn 21. I am going out with them and hope to be back home in bed by 2! I am not a night person! I know it will be fun, but I wish Jon could go with me. Oh well, it will be fun! Haha.

Today I also thought about my good ol friend Teresa Ide. She is studying at Sea this semester! How cool! She has always been an extremely adventurous person, and that is what we all love about her. I have been reading her blog and am in awe. She has an amazing writing style and experiences so many cool things. I hope she is safe at sea and comes home in one piece!

I have also thought about my Theatre class today. We have to Honor someone next friday. I have to honor Jon... this is proving to be quite challenging. I dont want to just pour my heart out to him in front of a whole class so I am struggling with what I should do. It will come to me eventually. If anyone has an idea, please let me know!

Old Friends

Every year when I get back to Spokane for the holidays I remember exactly who my true friends are. There are a handful of friends who always want to plan something but never plan it and those friends who say they might be back but never show, but then there are those friends who are always willing to cut time out of their busy lives to catch up. I love those friends. Thank you Jenny, Krista, Kate, Erin, Jen and Dacia for being my true friends. I love you girls and always will have time in my life for you. I love knowing that no matter what the distance and no matter how long the time in between visits, these girls will jump right back in like we were never apart. True friends are the best friends to find. I have made a few more friends at the U of I that I am proud to say are already faithful to me and would do anything for me. I know they too will always be willing to stop their busy lives to catch up with me in the future if they are ever in the area. Today I caught up with Jenny, a lifelong friend and old neighbor. Despite the horrific roads and snow drifts she managed to drive her tiny little car all the way out to my house and see me for just a few hours. Those are the friends everyone needs in their lives.
