Ahhh...

that is a satisfied sigh of relief. I am completely done moving. I just have to go to my apartment tomorrow and clean and then I'm done with that stupid place. Samantha and I went over there on Saturday and moved all of my stuff from the apartment in just 2 trips. We got to the apartment and we realized that we needed a dolly because some of the stuff was way too heavy to carry all the way to the truck so we had to go to TMA and borrow a dolly and then we were able to get all of my stuff out of the apartment in like 15 minutes. We took it to Jordan's and we had to unload it all into the garage and that only took us a few minutes also. After that we had to go to a birthday party for our boss' daughter who was turning 10. After the party we were exhausted and we still had to drive all the way back across town. When we got home I went and layed down on my bed for a while and then I just watched tv until it was time for bed. On Sunday we woke up and had Kody help us load the couches into the truck so we could take them to Jordan's house. Sam and I had to unload them all by ourselves, but we did a good job and we had them out of the truck and into the garage in no time. After that we went home and didn't really do much except relax. I need to go pick up my stuff that I ordered from Wal Mart still, but that's easy. I am going to Alamo this weekend with Jess and the kids. I decided to take Friday off of work so Jess and the kids said they would ride with me and then I'm not sure when I'm coming back. I am really excited to be out of Las Vegas for a while. I haven't been to Alamo since the 4th of July so it should be nice. Then I'll be back up there in a few weeks for Thanksgiving. I can't wait to see all the kids in their costumes for Halloween...they are all going to look so cute. lol Other than that I haven't been up to much. I had my art midterm on Wednesday and I think we get our grades back tonight. I am happy to be out of my apartment and living with Sam and Kody for a while, but the only sucky part is that I have to drive all the way from Henderson after school and it takes like 45 minutes even when I'm speeding (which I always am). Oh, and I have to wake up earlier because it takes that much longer to get to work in the morning. I will be happy when I get to move into Jordan's house because it isn't too far from work so I won't have to wake up too early. I am so tired today and my body is sore from all that moving. Well I guess that's about all I have to say.

The perfect pumpkin...

is hard to find, but I did it! Let me start at the beginning. Friday night I went to Jessica's house for dinner and ended up staying the night there. On Saturday I had to get up and go to work with Jess and after work she asked me to go to Wal Mart with her to find pumpkins because Eric wanted to carve pumpkins Saturday night. We went to Wal Mart and in the huge cardboard bin full of pumpkins I saw the perfect one. It was big and perfectly round and it didn't have a broken stem...but it was at the bottom of the bin. I set about trying to retrieve this perfect pumpkin and it was no easy feat. I ended up ripping my shirt in the process, but after many minutes of rearranging and making Jessica hold pumpkins I finally got it out. Victory! We found another pumpkin (that was nowhere near as good as the one I found) and we went on about our business. I decided I wanted to carve pumpkins with them so I went back to Jessica's house. I went with Jess to take Jaidyn for a flu shot (Jess got one, but Jaidyn didn't) and then we got some dinner. After dinner we decided it was time to carve the pumpkins. We were all excited about Jaidyn getting to carve pumpkins for the first time, but she wasn't really interested. It took us a couple of hours to get both done and we were really happy with them. I ended up staying the night at Jessica's again on Saturday night and Sunday morning we woke up early to go to my apartment and move some of my stuff. Jess is a good sister because she volunteered to come help me with some stuff. We got rid of my couch, my rocking chair, my computer desk, and a million bags of stuff I was throwing away. We dumped my couch next to the dumpsters in hopes that someone would take it and sure enough when I drove by a few hours later someone had taken it. lol I am really close to being ready to move out. Next weekend I will move all of my stuff into Jordan's garage and stay with Sam until the house is done (which will hopefully be soon). I am so sore from moving all that stuff...my whole body hurts. I can only imagine how Jess feels. She smashed her hand and I felt so bad. I told her I owe her big time. I can't wait to be done with this apartment. I hate living in apartments and hopefully everything will work out well at Jordan's house. I don't want to have to move again soon.

Today was weird...

I had to babysit for Jessica this morning while she took the baby to his checkup and I had to be there by 9 so I just decided not to go to work before I went to her house because I would only get to be there for like an hour before I had to leave. Well I went to Jessica's house and I was hanging out and I started not to feel well so I got Jaidyn to come watch tv with me so I could lay down. I layed down for about an hour and when I got up I checked my phone. I had a bunch of missed calls and a voicemail from Samantha sounding all freaked out wanting to know where I was. I called her back and found out that there was some miscommunication and she didn't know I was babysitting. When I didn't show up for work she went to my apartment thinking I'd just overslept and when she saw my car wasn't there she started freaking out thinking that something bad had happened to me. I felt so bad! She was really upset and I felt horrible. Apparently a bunch of people at work were really worried about me and she even had her husband leave work to come to my apartment! I never even heard my phone ring! When I got to work after I was done babysitting everyone was making fun of me. lol It's good to know that people will notice if I'm missing though lol. Jessica emailed me a while ago and told me that Jaidyn said she misses me...ohhh! She can be so sweet sometimes! Well I just wanted to share that little story!

Concert

The concert was a lot of fun. It was outside in a parking lot so it wasn't all hot and crowded. It was kind of windy, but the breeze was nice. The only downside was that since it was outside there was no seating so it was like 4 solid hours of standing. Jessica doesn't like that kind of music, but she said she liked the Cab, and Plain White T's. We didn't listen to Dashboard because I don't really know their stuff and we ended up running into a friend from high school so we talked to him through most of their set. They had rock band set up so that people could play if they wanted...we didn't play. They had like 4 different groups of people come up on stage and play rock band between bands. We ended up leaving part way through Panic @ the Disco even though they were the reason I wanted to go. It was just late already (like 10:30 or so) and I still had to take Jess home, then get back across town to my house and I had to be to work by 7 the next morning. They sounded good though. Luckily we were only stuck in the parking garage for a few minutes because we left early. Friday I was so unbelievably tired, but I made it through. Saturday morning I woke up early to go to the office with Jess and we stayed there until 1:00 then I went to her house to dye her hair for her. Last night I went through a bunch of my stuff to see what I want to take with me and what I want to get rid of...I'm getting rid of a bunch of stuff. This morning I woke up and got ready and went to Jessica's house so that we could go to the fashion show mall. We took the kids with us and they were really good. I ended up buying a new Betsey Johnson purse...it's so cute. I can't post a pic right now because I don't know how, but trust me it's cute. Now I'm just doing laundry and posting this blog. I need to make some dinner soon because I'm starving (I even went to the store today!).

I can't wait...

for 2 things. One...I can't wait for today to be over. I have to go to art class tonight, which sucks on any normal day, but today we have to hand in a paper and the syllabus says that "several students will have to read their papers aloud"...um...no thanks! I really hope she doesn't do that and if she does I really hope she doesn't choose me. I don't want her to tear apart my paper in front of everyone (and she will). The second thing I can't wait for is the concert tomorrow night. I am so excited...I'm pretty sure the last concert I went to was when I saw Panic @ the Disco the last time and that was a long time ago. It is sure to be fun. For one it is outside so it won't be all hot and gross like it would be in a venue...second it's the Rock Band Live tour and I heard they are going to bring people up on stage to compete playing rock band! How fund does that sound. Not to mention I like all of the bands (except one because I don't know who they are...The Cab...they're from Vegas...anyone heard of them?). Jess is going with me which is awesome because I'm pretty sure the last concert we went to was 5 years ago almost! She doesn't like any of the bands so I'm really grateful she said she'd go with me. She's a good sport. I ordered a bunch of stuff from Wal Mart today and got the best deal. I got a 19" flat screen tv (for my room), a 32" flat screen tv (for the living room), a 10 piece cookware set (TFal), a 16 piece dinnerware set, a flatware set, a 16 piece set of glasses, and some cooking utensils all for $940. If you ask me that's a lot of stuff for such a good price (especially 2 tvs!). I can't wait for it to get here. I had it shipped to the store so I wouldn't have to pay shipping and it says it should be here by the 24th. I will be moving soon, but I may have to stay with my sister Sam for a while. The house I'm moving into may not be done by the time I have to move out of my apartment. The guy who bought it is redoing the bathrooms and the kitchen so I can move my stuff in, but I won't be able to live there yet. Which is ok because I can totally stay with Sam. Did I mention that Sam gave me her leather couches and her chair? She got a new living room set a while back and she's been storing her old furniture for me...I get pretty much all new stuff! I'm pretty lucky living in style at my age...happy thoughts! I'm giving my old tv to Ashlee if she wants it because otherwise I was just going to throw it in the trash. I have had it for over 5 years (it still works great, but it's kind of big and I'd have to buy the stupid converter for it in a few months anyways) and it's been an awesome tv. It survived a fall from a mantle and works like a champ! lol Well I guess that's about all I have to say. I will post again this weekend and let everyone know how the concert was (as if anyone cares lol).

Playhouse Disney...

Well not a lot has been going on lately. I just worked and went to school last week. On Thursday I went with my friend Kami and some of our other friends to look at wedding dresses because Kami is getting married! I had so much fun looking at all the dresses. Poor Kami didn't seem to be having as much fun, but that's understandable since she had to put on all those dresses. lol My mom came down to babysit Jessica's kids for her this weekend. She came down on Thursday and she just went home this morning. She was here to babysit for them on Saturday because Jess and Eric were going out for the day to celebrate their one year anniversary. Friday night I went to Jess' house and we had some tacos for dinner (yum!) and then Saturday morning I got up and went back to their house to hang out with my mom while she babysat. At about 1 I took Jaidyn to a birthday party and then Samantha and I took Jaidyn and Sam's nephew Hayden to the Playhouse Disney Live show. The kids had such a good time. By the time I dropped Sam and Hayden off and got Jaidyn home we were both so tired. Jaidyn fell asleep in the car on the way home and I felt so bad waking her up because she had fallen asleep on the way to playhouse disney and I had to wake her up so she didn't even get a real nap and she had such a long day. After that I hung out at Jess's house for a while and then I came home and crashed...I had a long day too. lol This morning I woke up and did the usual. A little cleaning and a little laundry. I decided to go to the movies today because I hadn't been in a long time (yes Ashlee I went alone...don't cry). I went and saw Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist...it was ok...nothing I'd pay to see again. After the movie I went shopping at Lane Bryant because I had a coupon and I ended up getting an awesome deal on some new stuff. I got a new pair of jeans, a new hoodie, and a new bra for only $66! After Lane Bryant I hit up Target to get a few things and ended up spending a decent amount of money there too. I got a new comforter set and some new sheets and then some other random things I needed. After Target I just came home to relax. I did some math homework, but had to give up because I was sucking at it. I have to bust ass on my homework tomorrow though because I have a paper due Wednesday and a quiz on Tuesday...sometimes I hate school! lol Well I guess that's about all I have to say.
