bowl-a-rama

Nothing too exciting going on this week for myself. I have been working a lot of hours at the store because my boss hurt herself ~ so I am filling in for her. I went out friday night with some of the girls for my friend Katie's birthday. We just went to this bar in Cudahy (I know ~ rach and I out and not downtown....crazy...)

Saturday night a bunch of us went bowling. I have not been bowling in a long time. I use to bowl (when I was 9 years old) all the time; I was in a league...ha ha ha. I was excited to go bowling ~ it is nice to switch it up a bit and not do the same thing all the time. It felt as if it was a night in high school....a ton of old friends....hanging out.....having fun.....and bowling. I didn't bowl as well I usually do, so I was kinda bummed....

We had so much fun on saturday night that some of the girls and I went bowling again last night. The same place we went on saturday - has $1 bowling on tuesday nights. How great is that ~ something to do that is fun and different and actually cheap! I love it! I did much better last night I got a 121 for my second game!

Keeps Going...going...going...going....going...going...

So I know I have not posted for a long time, but it has been a crazy couple weeks. I checked and the last time I posted was on December 20, 2007. That is when all the craziness began...I graduated on that night, the 21st I attended an ugly sweater christmas party, the 22nd rach and I went out to celebrate our graduations (nothing too exciting just a few drinks downtown) the 23rd stephanie came into town, then or course christmas eve and christmas day, the 26th stephanie's family and my family went to dinner together at saz's (our fav) the 27th stephanie had her make n take @ the scrapbook store and then we scrapbooked til 3 in the morning, the 28th I went to wind lake to see Bret Michaels from Poison!!! Awesome!!! Stephanie left the morning of the 29th and I left in the afternoon to go to Green Bay. On the 30th was my 1st ever packer game!!! I will never forget it. The 31st we came home from green bay and had our family steak dinner which we do every new years eve and then I went out that night. So as you all can read I have been extremely busy....and now I have been trying to also find a "real" job....

But as always I love to share photos of what I have been doing so here you go...

getting closer...

I know it has been a long time since I wrote something. I am sorry for that. I have been super busy with things at school. home and work. I have my portfolio show on wednesday....so I have been trying to get everything ready for that. I am so excited for my show, but I am also a little nervous. I can't believe I am going to be graduating soon....craziness to me. So that is my life right now. I am going to try and take some pics of my portfolio and post them....probably on thursday. Have a Wonderful week!

Thanksgiving and Birthday weekend!

I LOVE Thanksgiving weekend....everyone is all together and it is also my Birthday! I had a really wonderful weekend.

It all started on Wednesday night...we went to Johnny Mo's to meet up with some old friends.

Rach and I had are HUGE bags with us and Trevor could not get over it ~ so he wanted a picture with them.

Thursday ~ We have Thanksgiving @ my house. It was a very nice day....Packers played and won...took a nap....good food....watched Grey's. Jim and I celebrate our birthdays on thanksgiving with the family because our birthdays are 2 days apart.

I always have a dairy queen ice cream cake for my birthday ~ this year I got a lion king one because it was the only one that was fall colors. I went out thanksgiving night for a little bit because I don't get see everyone that often and since they are all home for the holiday ~ I wanted to see them as much as I can.

On Saturday we had our 3rd annual Bar crawl for my birthday ~ we all had a blast!!!

So overall ~ I had a FABULOUS birthday and weekend!!! Thanks to all of you who helped me celebrate. I am very thankful for my wonderful family and my fantastic friends!!!! Thanks so much...

New Phones for everyone

On Saturday, My mom, step-dad and I went to get new phones. I haven't had the time to go look at new phones before this, so I really wasn't sure what I wanted to get before we got to the store. There are always so many choices. This time we all got different phones. (last time I got a different one from my parents) Keith got a samsung and My mom got this new phone called juke. It is so tiny and so cute!!! I Love it!

It is a little mp3 player too. And yes it is as skinny as it looks....It is fabulous!

After looking at many different phones.....I finally decided on.....

The Silver Blackberry Pearl!!!! It is so fabulous!!!! I can't get enough of it. I finally got all my phone numbers into it. I am still playing and learning. It is so great though.....I LOVE new toys!!! I can check and send emails. I can im people from it, text message, camera, a navigation program (you know, when it talks to you and tells you - turn left here, you are approaching your destination....I just can't get over it. All I want to do is play with it all day. :)

another busy week...

Hello All ~ it was a crazy week back after my vacations. It was definitely back to reality. I had my cousin's wedding reception yesturday and that was a blast! I do love weddings and dancing! This was the last wedding for me this year (bittersweet...) I have to admit I was getting a little stressed with all the weddings, but I am a little sad for them to be over. I will add some pics of the reception later...I didn't upload them yet.

I am adding a few pics of other random things....a couple pics of the classroom at work. I love it!

We were asked to make boards about ourselves to hang up in the classroom, so that customers could get to know us. So I finally did mine...it is of course about italy and it black, white, and pink!

My cousin Katie and I in Mexico for her wedding! She is so great ~ I just love her!

Another random photo of myself from mexico....
