2009 recapped.

Ok so it's 2010 so this blog is gonna be my highlights of 2009 and some of my regrets of 2009.

First of highlights:

January: Um I can't really think of any highlights besides going back to Cascade.

February: First time Valentine's day didn't suck because my boyfriend at the time surprised me with fake buttercups in a vase which he got my RA to put into my dorm room. :)

March: First visit to Oklahoma saw my Aunt and cousin's. First time seeing my newest baby cousin Reese and her big sister Sammie said my name over and over. Which is pretty advanced for a two year old. :)

April: Made up with an old friend and helped throw my first bachelorette party.

May: Reunited with my best friend after not seeing her for a year. Saw all my Cascade senior friends graduate. Sadly May brought the closing of Cascade College.

June: First trip to Pier 39 in San Francisco, 21st Birthday in Monterey. Flew to Texas to see my best friend get married and shot my first gun.

July: Saw my cousins a few times and my baby cousin Norah learned how to say my name.

August: First Giant's game since I was five. Went to Monterey again to see my cousin's and Sammie bonded with me over sea life.

September: Nothing big really happened except I started working full time for my Mom. But Honor Society's first CD came out!

October: First trip to Arkansas to see my little brother.

November: Tim Lincecum won the CY Young for the second year in a row! :) Oh I forgot New Moon came out and I went and saw it with my cousin and her boyfriend! :)

December: Trips to San Francisco where I saw Lauren and Portland! :) Christmas with my family and my baby cousin Reese walked to me. :)

Oh yea all year lots of big things happened for my favorite band Honor Society! :) They had a great 2009 and I am so excited for 2010. :)

Regrets:

I regret not trying harder my last semester at Cascade.

Thanks for reading and here's to a great 2010!!! :)

Oh Christmas Tree oh Christmas tree,

First off I love White Chocolate Mochas and starbucks. That's all.

Giant's Dream # who knows

Thanks to my lovely friend Lauren *HI LAUREN!* posting new pictures of Giants stuff on facebook I think that is why I had this dream last night.

Giants Dugout-store Decemeber 2009

I am in the store shopping for a Giant's sweatshirt for my younger brother when all these people come in and start saying Joe Martinez got hit with a baseball again. I of course start crying cause I cant stand anyone even if I don't know them in pain. Especially a Giant. So I somehow have access to the clubhouse and go down there to see if Joe is ok. The thought in my mind is why the heck are they practicing in December anyway. So I open the clubhouse door and out pops Lincecum who gives me great big hug and pulls me inside. Then all the sudden the Jonas Brothers show up and everyone yells surprise. Apparently my Mom and Joe had planned the whole thing and it was my unbirthday party. Then it started snowing and a dog came up to me to lick my hand.

I have weird dreams maybe it's time to cut back on the coffee.

February Doings.

I hate snow. Seriously I hate snow. It gets everywhere and is messy. But it does get classes cancelled so I guess that is a upside. So a few things that have happened since my last post.

Number One: Valentines Day
Possibly my least favorite Holiday of the year. But this year I had a good valentines day. I got some chocolate roses from friends and they are still in my fridge. :) But even though I still dislike the holiday because I think you don't need just one day a year to let someone know that you love them.

Number Two: School
I have had a few tests and assignments due. Some of my classes have been cancelled due to snow and teachers getting stuck at home. I am doing semi well this semester I just need to buckle down more and do even better.

Number Three: Random Doings
So I finally picked out where I am going next year. Are you ready for this? Oklahoma. Yea I am going to Oklahoma the land of Sonic and Chick-Fil-A. Basically I decided that instead of dropping out of school I would continue on. But we will see what happens next and I am kind of excited. So my Mom and I are heading down to Oklahoma during Spring Break where I will visit Oklahoma Christian and see my Aunt, Torey and my cousins. Oh and get Sonic that is the most important part(well at least I think so). Anyways leave comments if you feel like it and I will update again soon.

Winter Formal

Last night was Cascade's Winter Formal and it was very fun. I had a good date who got me a beautiful corsage. It took place at the Abernethy Center in Oregon City. The food was very good and we had a live jazz band and some dancing did happen. I didn't personally dance because I didn't care to. After the dance we went to a friends house and watched Moulin Rouge.Anyways here are some photos. Enjoy.

But basically this is not fun. I feel as if someone was taken away from me. I love Cascade I love the people here and it's become my second home. I have so many memories from here as well as friends. I don't know what to I do. Praying is all i can think of doing when I am not talking to my mom, friends or in class. Pray for all of us at Cascade because we all don't know what will happen.

Staying Up for a movie premire has advantages.

So tonight at midnight I was sitting in a movie theater with a bunch of teens watching the 12:01 AM premire of High School Musical 3. I must say I was very impressed with it and left the theater in a good mood. I went to said movie with a good friend of mine and it was enjoyable. Zac Efron had turned into a incredible actor and I love Ashley Tisdale's acting. I don't care much for Vanessa Hudgens but other than that the rest of the HSM cast is awesome. Oh and Lucas Grabeel has really bloomed since the first movie and stand out in this movie, but I don't want to say much more to spoil it for you reading this. So needless to say I am exhausted at the moment. Of course now I have one more class and then its hello weekend. I fully plan on sleeping and maybe going to Sushi or Olive Garden with some friends of mine. Oh how I love living in Portland it's full of stuff to do any night of the week plus tons of concerts and plays. Sunday is already looking to be stressful I get to help babysit for a bunch of little kids for a few hours with my service club. Oh the joys of being in college. Luckily it will be in Downtown Portland so I can take advantage of that and go get Starbucks or Coffe Bean before hand. Ohh a Vanilla Latte with Cinnamon sounds very good right now. So what are your plans for this weekend? Are any of you seeing High School Musical 3 or any other movie?

Junior Year so far.

Hey everyone. Sorry it has been so long since my last update. School has just been very busy lately. I think I one week had four tests so that took a lot of time to prepare for. Other than that life has been good. I was sick for most of last week with a cold which was not fun but it seems as if half of the campus is sick. The weather has been rainy somedays or sunny which is weird for Portland. Tonight is a exciting night I am headed to the High School Musical 3 midnight showing with some friends so I am super excited. Wow that sounds really dorky but I am. Also I am excited for some concerts and plays coming up later this year. Wicked is coming to Portland in April so I am looking forward to seeing that with some friends. Other than that most of my time is spent studying or watching The Office. Speaking of The Office if you watch it how are you liking the new season? Are you excited about Jim and Pam, I think I screamed during the season premire. Anyways I better get going I have to finish reading for a class tomorrow.
