Concert

For my birthday my amazing boyfriend got me Brad Paisley concert tickets. When Jon and I got to the concert we found our seats and almost died. We were so high up! But, Jon got "the best seats" that were left when he got the tickets... amazing how fast concerts sell out. It ended up being perfect. I saw a few friends that had seats almost right next to us. It was great. Then the concert started. Caitlyn something (an indian country singer) opened first. She sang a song about telling her dad its ok to let go now because she can do it on her own. That is how I feel and I had heard the song before. I love it! Then Dierks Bently came out and gave an amazing performance. Although our opening acts were great, no one can beat Brad... his voice is even better in concert than on the radio! He was so so so so GOOD! I loved it. Jon and I had a blast. We finally left the concert around 10:30 because we thougt it was over but right as we got out Brad started playing Ticks! CRAP. I cant believe I missed that song. Oh well... apparently he really was going to give us our moneys worth! Haha. It was the best concert ever. I cant wait to see him again!

Before the concert Jon and I went to the Steam Plant in Spokane. It was ok, but we were both a little disappointed. We were expecting really good food and were willing to pay the price, but we got really mediocre food for double the price! Oh well, we still had fun. And it was a new experience. The building was really neat too. And the drink I ordered was good. So, not too much to complain about I guess.

It's that kind of day

You know those days when you know you should be doing homework or something productive, but just cant bring yourself to do it? Well, it's that kind of day for me. I feel like I could be doing so many productive things right now, but I just get bored when I think of doing them. I have a huge paper I could be writing for an online class, massive amounts of reading for my Monday and Tuesday class, a presentation for my Thursday class, and an assignment for my Friday class that I will be missing. Ugh, I just have no motivation right now what so ever!

Valentines Day

I seems the most obvious topics are the ones we forget to write about. Everyone has been writing about Valentines Day even though it was a while ago now. Well my Valentines Day story is very long, so grab a warm drink and cuddle up!

So, on Friday Jon and I got to Spokane only to find my mom waiting in the driveway saying goodbye to a carfull of my siblings. My mom told me SHe packed my skis too and just sent them off with Katie and Joey. I told my mom I didnt know what she was talking about only to realize they had planned a family vacation weekend at Schweitzer Mountain without telling Jon and I. It was a huge mistake, they would love us to go with them and my mom was even telling me that Jon and I were riding up with her. Well, Tommy forgot to tell me that we were going to Schweitzer and my mom thought Tommy told me, but Tommy thought my mom would have told me. So anyway. Jon and i decide to go up with them for a night. So we pack up some clothes, our ski stuff, and get on the road. Jon skied on Saturday and I stayed home looking up places to go out to eat for dinner in Sandpoint. Then I got ready and curled my hair and everything. I was so excited.

Around four we leave the condo and go down on our way to Sandpoint. We get to the first restaurant and it was like an old hotel, old folks home feel! GROSS! So we turned around just as fast as we opened the door. The second restaurant was just as bad. So the third place was an Italian place that smelled SO good. Of course they were full for the night. So we spent another 30 minutes looking around Sandpoint before we decided to just head to Spokane.

We called 10 different places on the way to Spokane and everywhere was full. Red Robin looked like it was going to be the winner. So we went to Red Robin and it was actually really nice. After Red Robin we went to the store and I got wine and chocolate covered strawberries. Then we went to Jon's dad's house (his dad was out of town). Then we went into the hot tub and relaxed with chocolate covered strawberries and wine. It was SO amazing.

After the hot tub we came inside and watched a movie. Jon's step mom burns DVD's so they have TONS of movies. We watched Wall-e because neither of us had seen it and we heard it was good. It was actually really cute. Then it was off to bed. In the morning Jon took me to Breakfast at the Train. So fun. It was a great Valentines Day! Could not have asked for a better Valentines Day!

I love you Jon!

The Hike Continues

A few days ago I got informed that one of the schools I really wanted to student teach at already is slammed with student teachers from Spokane schools. This means I really have to pray that my second or third choice will take me, otherwise I might be shipped out to Coeur D Alene. Please pray with me! Updates are soon to come.

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.

The Journey to a Teaching Career

Today I am one step closer to getting placed in my student teaching portion of my schooling. Yesterday I had an interview with the area coordinator (Sally Green) to discuss my placement and preferences. It went really well. I even told her that I might want to teach in a Catholic School someday so she is going to work on placing me in a student teaching postition at a Catholic school for one of my student teaching semesters. I am really excited and cannot wait to see where I get placed. She told me at the meeting that I would need to turn in a resume to her to better my chances at getting placed out of state. So I turned it in today and now just have to wait. She told me that I should know by spring break where I am placed so that I can meet with my teacher and introduce myself and get aquainted. I am so very excited and cannot wait to hear more on this issue. Oh, today I also had my fingerprints taken. This is also one of the steps to becoming a student teacher. I think it went well, and I think they turned out. This was good news because my sister was the hardest persons fingerprints to get last year! I was nervous, but they said mine looked good, so we will see!

My Birthday!

Yesterday was my twentyfirst birthday, and it was amazing! It all started at midnight. I went out to the bars with my boyfriends brother and his roommates. Jon is not 21 yet, so he was the DD. What a great boyfriend! After having way too much fun at the bar, Jon picked me up and took me home. I couldn't get the toothpaste on my toothbrush, due to lack of hand eye coordination! Haha. But I did manage to brush my teeth. Jon said that I just hit the toothbrush on my teeth, but I remember actually brushing them. :) Then I talked to Jon and kept talking, and talking, and talking. He kept telling me to stop and to go to sleep, but I would not. Once my head hit my pillow in a comfy place... I was out! Sunday morning came and I woke up at 11:00, made myself some bacon and Jon made me toast, it was delicious! After breakfast I got ready for my party at Applebees. That was a lot of fun. I got to meet Dan FINALLY! And I got to talk with three very cool girls from my classes. Jon and my brother were there too. 4 people had problems with rides and work, so were unable to make it :(. The rest of the day I just relaxed. It was very nice, and a perfect Birthday! Jon got me Brad Paisley concert tickets, his cd, Dierks Bently cd (he opens for Brad), and dinner at Olive Garden!!!! I cannot wait! OH, and he got my the prettiest boquet of flowers! Now next weekend I get to go home and celebrate my birthday all over again! Living away from home is awesome haha. Well, that was the story of my 21st birthday. Hope you enjoyed!
