Starting school

Off we go into the wild... dark... abyss of early morning... haha. I was thinking in my head the air force hymn (is it a hymn? It doesn't sound like one) "off we go into the wild blue yonder" and it was all chipper in my head, but I realized that it's not blue yet... Well sort of blueish. Anyway I don't really think early morning is an abyss but I sure do like saying that word. Anyway I gotta go get some snacks to bring to my long day of school then work :P School from 8 - 1:50 an hour on the bus and then work at 4 until about 9:30. :P :P long day, and I'm starting to feel sick :P bad bad bad. Anyway, I'm off it's the second first day of school! :) :) :)

I may never march in the infantry...

I'm going to be teaching a Sunday school kindergarten class two weekends a month starting this Sunday. I'm really excited, I helped out last Sunday and with the exception of a few things which I already talked to the preschool pastor about, and I'm confidant they can and will be addressed, I loved it. Those kids are awesome, and SO cute and funny! They love to sing the Lord's Army song, it's a fun song. But everytime they sing it I think about the guys who are in the infantry and shooting the artillery. I think someday I may make a slide show or a video or at least draw a picture about it. I think it'd make a cool picture but I'm not sure yet how it'd look... In any case I should be getting next week's lesson in the mail :) Yay! I love kids!

I need a t shirt

I decided I'm going to create a tshirt, I just need to get one. I already got the paper I need and the graphic (thanks to my genius brother) it's AWESOME, check it out! It's skippy from Robin Hood. I'm going to put words on the shirt also. It's going to say DEATH TO TYRANTS!

I have appley tasting candy, yumm :)

I don't work tonight and I have tomorrow and Sunday off... What should I do guys? I feel like I should do something fancy... I'll probably just end up chillin around the house with my family. I think I may rent x-men, that'd be fancy.

I don't... know what to do....

hm.... lets just say life can come at you fast... and I'm not quite sure what to do at this point... I'm completely emotional and kind of dumbfoundedly numb at the same time...

I'm confused.

Shopping list ... extreme

1) Text books
(note: go to ATM, check balance)

2) Flashing bike light

3) the book of coupons accidentally left at church

G) Jasmine
(note: not actual shopping item, expect call around 11:30)

(note again: #3 isn't a shopping item either, just get it, don't pay anyone or anything)
(note once more: ... If anyone tries to get money from you while retrieving said book follow sequence Delta)

........

SEQUENCE DELTA
A) Whip out bike light
2) Blind them profusely
00) Run

ok ok ok, here's my bike

see? isn't it beautiful? I don't look all that excited in either picture but it's a great bike :) also the first picture is me just off work and I'm tired so I look weird. :P Oh well. What do you think Cherise?

ok that's a load of crap...

I just typed up a darn good post and this stupid computer deleted it FOR NO GOOD REASON!! :P Apparently I started typing before the page was loaded, of course the stupid bloody page took so long to load that I didn't realize it wasn't all the way loaded. grr... Oh well :P

The gist of my lost post was I'm excited for but going to miss my off-to-college friends, I'm taking a couple design classes, a math class, and a typography class this fall at PCC aaaand... I wish I was a national guardsman (guardswoman?) so that I could go help people in the south. But really I don't wish that I was in the National Guard because I'd most likely be off to Iraq for a long long time and I'm kinda sorta planning to get married to someone already in the military so joining would probably be a silly idea. In any case I'd really like to go over there and help keep the peace or rescue people. *sigh* On a good note I heard that they sent a bunch of PJs over there :) yay PJs! (Pararescue Jumpers, they're elite Air Force guys)

Here I am!! You can stop looking now :)

Greetings from the mountainous regions of the center of our illustrious state! Sorry I haven't updated in about a million YEARS. I had a wonderful Sisters trip with Logan and I learned how to put pictures on my blog! A couple firsts for me I had whilst in the lovely land of Sisters, I road a bike on a trail, had my first real (good) bike fall with pretty bruises and everything, and I backpacked up a mountain and camped there! :D That was super fun! The cute picture of Logan and I was taken in a meadow next to a little stream. That picture is Logan reading his magazine about Vietnam and incase anyone is wary of his attire he is wearing a pair of army issue PT shorts (which I swear were designed in 1982 because they're TINY and they've got the bit that goes up in the sides :P) Anyway, great trip, lotsa fun. Logan is doing well also... except that he ate too much at dinner or something and threw up early this morning :( poor guy. But he says he's ok so I'm not TOO worried, I'll just let him sleep in. Again, sorry guys about disappearing for a while there I'm glad you still love me :)

(Did I mention Logan got me the special edition of Monty Python and the Holy Grail?? :D :D :D)

Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...

Logan says I'm silly

just because I'm wearing a tank top, skirt, jeans, an apron and a cowboy hat. Pfft. Silly my foot.

I got you t shirts! .... darn!

Heavy stuff....

How is it that I end up talking about really important stuff late at night when it's just time to sleep? It's a silly time to talk, people are extra emotional. And sometimes that makes me sad, I hate to hurt someone I love.... But sometimes you need pain I think... If we didn't hurt then how the crap would we be able to know that God can heal us? And how also would we be able to recognize the power of God or His love for us in that no matter what the matter is, whether it's our fault or it happened to us, He is there to help us and make it right and turn bad things into good. I love God, I love how He works. I don't understand it most of the time but I know that even if it involves pain and heartache it will turn out to be good in the end.

"...To console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified..."
Isaiah 61:3

Sort of bored

I get to work a double today :) huzzah, I haven't worked a double in..... Ever I think, at least a long time. In any case I'm a little bored sitting here at my computer, it's not like I don't have things to do I just feel bored and a little disappointed at a certain webcomic. :P Megatokyo, I like reading it and it's usually cool but the author has been a bit moody or something anyway he launched into a three week short comic that makes not that much sense and now he's ended it without explaining a bunch of stuff. I guess that's how it goes sometimes and you just sort of take it as it is but sometimes a little (or a lot) of background makes a story that much more interesting ya know? *sigh* anyway I guess I'll go get dressed and off to work. Hey! I get to go on a trip on Saturday! Yay! Fun stuff :D

and then the NEXT week I get to go to WALLA WALLA!!! :D :D :D hooraaaay!!!

where's Shupe and the RubberBand?

Apparently Ryan Shupe and the RubberBand do not have any full CD's out, just the single of Dream Big. And no one seems to have that :P maybe Logan will have some luck in central Oregon afterall they do seem to have huge tracts of Sobe lemonade that Portland and the surrounding areas apparently lack. Perhaps they've also obtained a copy or two of the song I want, even if they don't I say three cheers for central Oregon! (at least Sisters/Bend area) hip hip... HOORAY! hip hip... HOORAY! hip hip... HOORAY!!! :D

I like this song, it makes me smile

When you cry be sure to dry your eyes,
cause better days are sure to come.
And when you smile be sure to smile wide,
and don't let them know that they have won.
And when you walk, walk with pride,
and don't show the hurt inside,
because the pain will soon be gone.

And when you dream, dream big,
as big as the ocean blue.
Cause when you dream it might come true.
When you dream, dream big.

And when you laugh be sure to laugh out loud,
cause it will carry all your cares away.
And when you see, see the beauty all around and in yourself,
and it will help you feel okay.
And when you pray, pray for strength to help to carry on
when the troubles come your way.

"Dream Big" -Ryan Shupe & The Rubberband

Well he's back :D

Hooray for Logan being HOME!!! Man was I surprised when I got a call the last night of camp from a certain somebody in Germany (hence on his way home) I went outside my cabin and jumped around a bit :) after we hung up I couldn't really sleep because I was so excited. I gave little thought to the fact that if he was already on his way then I probably wouldn't greet him on the airfield. And I didn't, we couldn't get away from camp quick enough but it worked out because he got to come over here on Thursday night :D :D :D so we hung out for the weekend and HOPEFULLY (fingers crossed) I'll be able to work it out so that I can come with him down to Sisters next weekend. That'd be great. I think I'll head to work today and see who's not working and negotiate some shift switching/giving and such. In any case I feel emotionally lighter :) no more worrying when I'll get to see him or talk to him next, at least not for a little while. At the moment if I really REALLY want to see him I only have to drive two and a half hours and I can. :) And most every night I can call HIM, that will be wonderful. I missed not being able to call him and talk or leave a message, having to wait and not being sure of when the next call will come is hard. Fortunately I don't have to now for a few months :D

Oh and by the way, fantastic four is a fun movie. I liked it. And mio gelato down the street is great! :) hooray for ice cream and gelato!!!

ya know what's yummy?

chocolate covered gummi bears :)

home again home again

with a new sparkley hair clip and black shirt, a little sunburnt but doin alright. I don't have to work tomorrow :) that's cool... but working only night shifts this week is :P. Oh well, thems the breaks eh?

I'm not homesick I'm Logansick

I'm in Sisters tonight... sitting in Logan's old room... I miss him a lot... he won't be long now :)



but that doesn't really make it any easier to fall asleep without him down the hall....

some of one of my new favorite songs

...the book of love has music in it
in fact that's where music comes from
some of it's just transcendental
and some of it's just really dumb
but I
I love it when you sing to me
and you
you can sing me anything
the book of love is long and boring
and written long ago
it's full of flowers and heart shaped boxes
and things we're all too young to know
but I
I love it when you give me things
and you
you ought to give me wedding rings...

I want to have my first married dance with Logan to this song, we'll see....

Weird dreams

weird dreams are... weird. Especially when you wake up and think they were real for like, two seconds, then it's just weird... Those kinds of dreams creep me out and after I have them I need to have human interaction before I feel sane again. I also think it's funny when you're dreaming something and then you wake up but you think that the dream is still happening like when you dream you're talking to someone on the phone then you wake up and realize you had your hand to your ear but there was no phone. Last night I dreamed Logan was at the side of my bed and he put out his hand to take mine. I woke myself up when I lifted my hand, I opened my eyes just as I was going to put my hand in his and he wasn't there. It was kind of sad but then I closed my eyes, went back to sleep and he was back :) Not long now and he'll really be back :D yay.
