Gives Me hope ...

So today has been such a fantastic day , that I figured i'd write about my Gives me hope for today. So here goes.

Dear Maintenance Boy who has been so helpful to us... from the May flooding of our kitchen to , the broken garbage disposal. Thanks for putting tears in me and roomies eyes as we saw you replaced our kitchen light. Your random small acts of kindness give me hope.

Yeah so I know I blogged about the whole maintenance issue earlier , but I honestly did NOT think that this really nice guy would not only come fix the pipe , but come in and replace every burnt out light bulb. Literally , he fixed the hall and kitchen one without me even knowing. He came into my room. Instead of just handing me the lightbulb , he took the time to actually replace it himself, WHILE carrying on a conversation with me. Not to mention the fact that as he was leaving he asked me if I would like him to turn the light on for me. Then shutting my door behind him as he left. What an angel. Truly a heaven send.

Tomorrow. Or today technically , I get a date with Gregg. A real live date. Gregg decided that he wanted to be super cute and asked me if I wanted to spend the day with him in SLC before we visited Ginny. Isn't he amazing ? I love this boy. Plus all tonight he was snuggling me while we killed zombies and telling me how much he loved me and how pretty I was. He also admitted that he could probably not be able to stand one day without me. Also that he would love me forever. I don't blame him. I'm pretty awesome. I feel the same way about him though.

I also noticed just today how long and beautiful my hair really is. I've kinda noticed it was long before now , I just never realized HOW PRETTY it is. I no longer blame Gregg for not wanting me to cut it. It's gorgeous. I think today when I was talking to him about it , he cried just a little bit. He won't admit it , so don't ask him , but he teared up just a little bit when he was saying how sad it made him to just think of me cutting my hair. I love him so much. I'm extremely lucky to have such a great guy in my life. I'm NEVER letting him go. I can't do it. Even if someone offered to pay me a zillion dollars every year that I wasn't with him , I could NOT do it.

However , If it came down to it , i'd gladly die for him. Easy. No questions asked. Anyways. I'm gonna go now. Love you guys!!

What else could go wrong?

I just KNOW that you all want a list of what's going on in our apartment. Although the list for what HASN'T gone wrong would be MUCH shorter.

Let's start with 6 months ago. No before then even. about last... oh March? Our bathroom flooded. It took them until August to fix that. About the time they were fixing our bathroom , the hall , back bedroom , and kitchen lights burned out. Fast forward to December. Right when it was getting UNBEARABLY cold. Everyone in the apartment is REALLY sick. Like Urgent care sick. Furnace breaks. They fix that ASAP. Fast forward 2 weeks. The garbage disposal is broken ( what the???) they manage to fix THAT asap.Skip ahead maybe 2 days. Our bathroom gets flooded from above yet AGAIN.A day later, A strange hissing noise starts to take over our apartment.4 days later, thanks to Jamie's dad, we discover that it might be the water heater about to explode.So we go to the office to have that looked at.

Okay so we're caught up today. Now if you're keeping track , the lights are still burned out. We've also put in MULTIPLE work order forms about those lights. I mean like every other week. They come to look at the water heater. Guy flips on and off the lights. I tell him , they're burned out . He's like "oh okay." Looks around. Discovers what you ask ? A leaking pipe. ( which ironically also happened after the first time the bathroom flooded. which resulted in a hole in our bathroom ceiling take one) He tells me he's going to have someone else fix it. Thanks dude. Boy roughly my age comes over. Pipe in hand. Flips the lights on and off. I tell HIM the lights are burnt out. This very nice boy tells me he'll bring bulbs in for EVERY broken light in the apartment. ( I think I loved him for that. I can actually see now. GOOD DEAL!!) He fixes our leaking pipe and our lights. Now I'm a happy camper because hey . Our apartment isn't broken and crappy. For now... we'll see what we have happen next.

Eternally in my heart.

I love my best friend. I see her every day.I see her walking in the hallways at school, standing on the side of the road as I drive by, or even outside my house looking in the window at me, just to check up on me.My best friend died three years ago.Friends who never leave your side GMH.

One of my best friends died around this time last year from heart failure. While I don't see her every day like the person in the above quote from Gives Me Hope , I do catch glimpses and memories of her. I see her every time I take a picture. Or whenever i'm looking at the mountains. Her love for life was infectious and refreshing.

Cassie , I miss you. I'm sad we never got to start our photography business. Your love for life and everything that was beautiful will always live on in me. I promise. I love how even though you were sick , you never let it show. I love how you were always more worried about your sick brother than yourself. I'm sorry I couldn't make it to your funeral. Just know. Every picture I take I secretly dedicate to you.

Turns out

Turns out job numero dos fell through. GAY. Job number 3 would still probably work out except I need a phone. and as we ALL know , phone is broke. So that is proving to be an issue. Job number one is okay except for now my hours are getting all crazy. you see. They're on vacation right now. And her work put her on call. So she's supposed to let me know when I'm needed. See that also requires a phone. So here's the deal. I've been applying to jobs , but have no phone. So here is the latest poll. Should I just put my Home phone number back in Ga as the call me if you want to interview me number? Or should I beg my boyfriend and roommate to love me oh-so-much and let me use their phones. Roomie says I can borrow her phone , but see , i'm ALWAYS with Gregg. Well , lately anyways since he's kinda in the same situation as me. But if I tell them to call mi casa in Georgia my mommy and or Daddy can call me and be like " Hey girl , so and so called for an interview. you should call them back" I do not lie. That is EXACTLY what they would say. It's what they always say. I don't wanna move home , and honestly I don't feel like i'm supposed to be there. Still. You never know. I'm gonna peace out now because it's 5am and i'm tireeed.

Such is life

"The person you are going to marry is walking the Earth at this very second. That thought alone should give you hope to continue each and every day."


I've discovered this website called www.givesmehope.com It's very inspiring and I'm going to try to post one on my blog every day. Today and all this week really , this one has been in my head. So this is the one I will post today. What with everything going on in the lives of Gregg and I things are ... well we won't worry about it. Let's just say this is what's keeping me from not giving up on the whole institution of marriage in general. Right now i'm just going to enjoy us for what we are. If he decides for sure that he doesn't want to marry me , then that's cool. Right now we're loving where we're at and all the experiences and opportunities being together is (are?) bringing us.

Today Gregg was REALLY stressed. Not that I can blame the guy. His job pretty much laid him off, and so he really needs a job. He was stressing out because he's applied to like a billion places and no one is calling him back. Well tonight I finally got him to calm down a little bit by telling him that I was really proud of him for being so responsible and such by looking for a job. I also reminded him that he had money in the bank , he can sell plasma , and that he had all these cans and stuff he can recycle for extra cash. Then I gave him a kiss and guess what ?! He felt better. Then almost as soon as he was feeling better he got a call for an interview. See? He's going to be okay. I just know it.

I'm also very concerned about cash. Not that i'm in a bad place ,but I don't WANT to be put in a bad place again , so i'm looking for any and every way to get extra cash. After talking to Gregg and Ginny , we've decided that maybe I should sell my eggs. ( haha feeling awkward yet?) Truth is I think it's a good idea. Moral? That's for everyone to decide for themselves. I'm okay with it. I'm giving people who can't have kids an opportunity to do so , and they're doing me a favor by helping me get out of debt and get some money in the bank. Besides , what are the odds that i'm going to need ALL of my eggs just for myself. I only want 4 kids. I figure if i keep like as many as possible , and selling some i'll be okay. Plus if things happen down the road there's always adoption. Which is also in turn a good idea, because then i'm giving kids a family who don't have one otherwise. See ? I've thought this through. I'm comfortable with my decision too. So think what you want , but i'm probably going to do it. Besides , those parents would be getting one GOOD LOOKING kid.

That's pretty much where i'm at right now. That's what's going on in my life. BIG decisions. Tomorrow however might be really cool. Gregg and I are going to donate plasma , and maybe , if he wakes up in time see the guy that catch me if you can is about. We all know the story , about the guy who got rich by making fraud checks , got thrown in jail , and now makes bank working for the Government catching people who do the same exact thing. If we go i'll try to get a picture. Wouldn't that be cool ?! This my friends is why I LOVE my school.









HAHA life HAHAHAHHAHA

Good Morning all you Morning readers. Today is technically Wednesday , but i'm going to pretend it's still Tuesday , because Tuesday was a good day. What did I do? Well I tell you what. Tuesday I woke up at 4am ish. I proceeded to stay up till 4pm ish. While I was awake I : Applied for jobs , played on facebook (okay I won't lie , that's pretty much all I did), I watched my shows , oh applied for jobs , talked to Ginny , I... followed my diet, watched the snow fall , listened to Ke$ha on my Ipod(STUCK IN MY HEAD), that's about all. After I was sufficiently done doing nothing , I decided to take a quick nap. Let me just tell you that quick nap , was 3 hours long. At 6:45pm I woke up and waited for Greggory to come over and cuddle me. Gregg had other plans though. That included going to Taco Bell , and cleaning his room ( I created a recycle monster.) While he was cleaning his room I helped by sitting on his bed and telling him he missed pieces of trash , or that I was so proud of him. ( I've found this makes him want to clean his room more) Oh I also dyed Jamie's hair today. I'm practically a pro. her hair looks GOOD. I wish my Blog would let me put it in paragraphs again , but it hates me , i'm okay with that. Anyways. I want to do something that's not blog right now so i'm gonna peace out. LATERRR

Slightly Overwhelmed.

I'm slightly overwhelmed if you couldn't tell from the blog title. It starts out with me waking up feeling slightly not my best. Then I got the email containing The Fitness Magazines list of 8 tests every woman should take to stay healthy. One look at the list and I realized I was in for one long guilt trip. I was. I'm supposed to get caught up on all these tests which include , but aren't limited to : A pap smear , a breast exam (and let's be honest , there's a LOT to examine there) , A skin cancer test , immunization checks , blood pressure tests , Hearing Tests , a cholesterol panel , and BMI/Weight. Gawlee. I'm literally a walking time bomb. Then it started snowing. And Gregg does not enjoy traveling in the snow. So I will probably NOT see him today. Which I was going to. I really need to do laundry which yeah can probably wait till i visit Ginny , who let me borrow her laundry room, but I'm out of clothes and my dirty ones are really starting to smell. So I smell. I cleaned my room however so now the clothes are smelling up my VERY small closet. I just wanna go home. Just for a visit until the snow is gone. anyways. I'll post a video later of the ONLY good part of the snow. AKA how pretty it looks when it's falling. Anyways. I'm just gonna lay in bed and maybe take a nap since I woke up kinda early. First I have to watch bachelor and Pretty little liars. yep. I'm gonna go do that now.

oh Heyyyy !

Good Morning People!!! Although technically i'm going to bed soon , because it's almost 2 am and I was sick all day yesterday. Anywho. Yesterday I had an 8am day. By that I mean I could not sleep until 8am due to nausea and other related business. Once asleep I slept till like noon ,woke up for a split second , slept again till 2pm. Woke up checked the mail and all that jazz.Then I went back to bed at 3 because I still felt EXTREMELY gross. Gregg came over t 4:30 or 5ish. We hung out at my house and watched simpsons and he looked for jobs for a bit while I just cuddled up next to him and felt gross. Then we went to wal-mart , courtesy of mother , and got Groceries. Meaning slim fast shakes , corn , and jello because that's all I can eat. My stomach was still REALLY mad at me so Gregg asked me what I wanted to eat , i'm all I don't know. I want hamburgers , but i'm afraid if I eat anything i'm just going to throw it all up. So we went and got yogurt and water and sprite. That was all I ate that day. ( meaning before midnight) So after I ate my light dinner , I popped in rigoletto. I watched it at Gregg's house ps. Then once it was over I was still feeling gross so Gregg told me I could borrow his bed and nap. So I did just that. I went , laid down in his bed and slept while he looked for jobs. Gregg also said he checked on me during the hour and a half ish I was asleep and that I looked like I was out cold. He said I looked like I was finally getting a good deep sleep. When I woke up I went and found him and told him I was STARVING. it's 11pm now mind you. So we get all ready , he plays guitar for a bit and we go and get 3 double cheeseburgers and a large fry. Let me just tell you I ate 2 of those double cheeseburgers. Gregg ate one and half of my fries probably. Then we watched an episode of Simpsons. All through this eventful day i'm getting the WORST cramps of my life. seriously I was like wincing in pain. Gregg noticed. My talking was being affected is how. Anyways. Gregg found 2 jobs perfect for me. I can get paid to take pictures. Shutterstock lets you upload them and every time someone downloads your picture you get paid 25cents. ISN'T THAT COOL ? Also , Secret shopping. I love to shop. so you see it's perfect. Now if you don't mind , i'm going to check my email and go to bed because my stomach is starting to hate me again.

My new favorite thing

Okay , my new favorite thing , as of today , is talking to my 10 yr old cousin who I never see ( In fact i'm not sure i've ever seen her) on facebook chat. I feel like i'm finally kind of getting the bonding time I never got with those cousins as a child. Mostly because we hardly ever saw my dad's side of the family. I'm just sad that us cousins on dad's side don't have the same type of bond the cousins on my mom's side of the family. Now i'm friends with 2 of them on Facebook and I feel like i'm finally getting some kind of relationship with them. That's cool.

I had a baby heart attack.

Want to hear the story ? Of course you do. So i'm on facebook just minding my own business. Okay no I wasn't. If I was the baby Heart Attack would not have happened. I was looking at the people you may know thingy. I saw a guy who used to be in my stake back in the day. So I check him out and add him thinking hey he's cool , we kinda used to talk. Sort of. Story goes on. I'm going back to the People page and I could have SWORN it said he was interested in men. Yeah ,this is where the heart attack comes in. I was like " NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.... NOT HIM TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO." Basically I was distressed. So I go back to double check my vision. ( Although I was totally wearing glasses) Yeah , turns out he's interested in girls. So we are okayyyyy. I calmed down and may or may not have shed a single small tear of joy. Not that I don't love my Gregg. The world of females WOULD however be missing out if he was attracted to the male gender however. So yes all you single females. You CAN thank me for checking to make sure he's still avaliable and attracted to some of ya'll. ( I don't know his type) Which , he is. He's TOTALLY avaliable. Well , at least it doesn't say he's in a relationship.
