Finally...another post!

Hey,
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. It isn't like I've been all that busy, I just haven't gotten to this blog lately. I have been caught up in life I guess. I do work on call for a friend, and I enjoy that. It's a easy job for me. I haven't gone back to PCC, or started any other school. I'm still here in good old rainy Beaverton, Oregon.
It's odd how you almost forget how much it rains here during the summer, but of course it comes back to you right when fall arrives pretty much.
I have been doing my best to not be stuck, and not let life drag me down, and I have been pretty happy lately. So that's good. It's all good pretty much.
I started talking to a guy recently and we talk a lot now. I think he comes on the messenger when he has a free moment to see if I'm there. So, I'm kinda hoping that goes somewhere now.
I have posted few more things via Triond since I last linked 1, but didn't get the links up yet. I'll do that so anyone can take a look at them if they like. I think I have them on my Myspace, maybe 1 or 2 were linked on my Facebook too.
I don't know what else to add at the moment, so bye for now.

Thoughts on life thus far

I'm ready to do something more with my life, something that makes me feel more fulfilled. Something that will make my life feel more complete. I doubt at the moment I could find an instant completeness. Because all my life I have surrounded my self by romantic ideas. I have learned that while I do not need someone to be happy, there is someone who will fill an emptiness in my life. I know that I can't fathom life without him. Yes not only do I have career dreams, and dreams of a home in which I belong, but romantic ones.

I'll tell you something, I don't much care for the huge dating scene in which you date around, and have to compete against others for someones interest or affection. I don't want to feel rejected by the man who most captures my heart and sees the true me. The man who thinks I'm the most beautiful woman. Sigh...

I am considering leaving Oregon. I may have said this on a blog before, but I feel as if I want to experience something new. I know there is something out there for me, and I feel as if this place calls me. There is truly only one way to know. As soon as I can I may embark there, go out into the world and except me calling.

I think I should like to become a chef. Maybe specifically baking or pastry. So I have to take care of a few things, look into finical aid, check out the different schools, and apply to one when I can.
I think it will be exciting!

But of course what makes it harder is I will have to find a job to save up to go off else where and have a place to live(maybe I could stay somewhere for bit if I know anyone in the area). I'd have to get a job there then while in school so i could afford to live month by month.

So I have at least that plan, and I'll I have to do is go through with each step and succeed in seeing to my future. I can't keep just wishing can I?

PS ~ If you notice how proper some of my English sounded, it's because I have read too much Historical Romance books set in England LOL!

Trip to Idaho

We went Idaho and left early Friday morning on July 25th. We had to stop off in Tumwater, WA to pick up grandma Barbara. And on the way when there was no way my mom could have seen the construction signs she got pulled over by some cop. Ugh! For lunch we got off at an exit to see if there was a place to eat. Low and behold there was a diner with grandma's name on it. This place is awesome.
We got to Cour d' Alene, ID about 4pm and visited with my cousin Mandi. She showed us the house that had the fire, and got to see her new one. She even showed us the wedding dress. It was beautiful. We all had KFC for dinner. And on the way through Heyburn State park that night we sorta got lost, and ended up putting the tent up in the dark...oh well.
On Sat. July 26th my cousin Mandi married TJ at Heyburn. It was beautiful and the ceremony face the lake.
They were so happy, and Mandi was beautiful! There friend performed it. My cousin's(her siblings) JoAnna and Luke were in the wedding party. I believe they even included a Native American Wedding prayer(I know this cause I read it a few times in the book I have that is a collection of love themed poems). I got a lot of photos when they did pictures.
type more later...I'm tired and my creativity maybe low.

The cats in the house(apartment)

This my brother Rob's kitten Raena (Icelandic for Pirate). This picture was taken in the beginning of June at the Oregon Humane Society just before we got her. Cause lets face it the 2 month old kitties go faster then the 10 year old cats. I've taken more recent ones of her, but I haven't got them loaded yet. So shortly the little cutie will be 3 months old. I know kittens grow fast.


This is Kitty (this was taken 2006) I got her in Dec. 2003 from the Humane Society too. She was also a cute little 2 month old kitten too. She'll be 5 in Oct.

I've decided if I get another cat, I'm going to the humane society and getting a cat that's older. At least a year old. But, maybe I should find a senior cat, that I can take care of. 1 that needs a home more.

My first blog

Well, I don't know if I have anything creative at the moment to post, so I'll just fill in everyone a little about what I'm up to.

I'm currently looking for a job, money is tight for me so I could really use one. I was taking care of my abuela, but in May she was having issues and would take some anger out on me, and since she was mi abuela it just got too hard.

I did start going to the singles ward, but I have times even when I feel comfortable and welcome at church I just don't go. I did get new cool visiting teachers though. I went to lunch with 1 last week.

I'll be going to Idaho twice this summer I guess. My cousin Mandi is getting married next month, and then in August I may go see my cousin Tracy(1 of my best friends). Besides I'll get to maybe see her boys again. I haven't seen em since last July when they moved to Idaho. Darius will be turning 5 then too. Wow! Conner is 2 & Darius is almost 5! They grow up too fast huh?

Other then that I just have a lot of spare time and I'm just hanging out.
