Everything. I love life. Well, when i'm home and not in fucking Oakland. I am always so happy at home, and miserable at school. It's like i'm a totally different person. I thought this week would be so hard and painful, with Chris being gone. But so far, it's been so far from that. I absolutely love driving around Verona at night, blasting my music. I also love having nothing to do and no plans and not always having to be somewhere. I haven't felt like that in 7 months, since Chris and i have started dating. I feel single, since he's in Texas, and it feels so weird. But with him gone, and the way that i feel, it makes me see that i have never been as sure of anything in my life, as i am that i'm supposed to be with him. I have never ever felt that way about somebody, it's amazing. I'm so glad that he decided to go to Texas. He called me tonight and i talked to his whole family and his Mom was talking about how much she missed me :], and he was showing his brother the picture album i made him :]. I can't wait to meet his brother and sister. Also, he wants to celebrate my birthday on the 20th and it made me so happy :]. I can't wait until he comes home, but i'm so proud of myself for not dwelling on the fact that he's gone, and taking advantage of my time alone. I think when he gets back though, we're gonna be hanging out around here a lot more and spending time with the awesome people i've been spending my time with so far this weekend.
I spent the day with people who i love so much and have not spent time with in a long time. Mom and i went to visit Shahen. He isn't doing well at all from the chemo and he got so skinny and it makes me so sad to look at him :[. I love him so so much and i don't know what i'll do if anything ever happens to him. Mom went to the store for him and me and him hung out on the patio and talked about everything. We talked about one person in particular and he told me something about them that really pissed me off and made me rethink that whole situation. But, i loved spending time with Shahen and getting to just sit and talk with him. Then, i went to Joe and Sue's and i spent a while catching up with them. I love them, too :]. I sat on my porch for a while and walked Rufus, and i haven't done those things in so so long.
When did i get this old?! I turned 19 yesterday, 19. I remember writing a post about this topic a few months ago, but now, i feel it even more. When did i get old enough to be 19? When did i get old enough to be by myself at college? When did i get old enough to date a boy for 7 months? When did i get old enough to be so sure that i should be with this boy? When did i get old enough to feel like my childhood is so far away? Ahh, it's all so crazy.

Meepy. Chris went to Texas until the 18th :[, and i'm not too pleased. It hurts more than i could have ever imagined, and more than i think anything ever has. I honestly feel like there's a hole in the middle of me, and that's the most painful feeling ever. It hasn't stopped hurting since the moment he told me he was going... I guess there's no solution though, this is something you just gotta feel it, until it gets better and take the pain and try to deal with it the best you can. I wanted him to go, to see his family, but i knew it would take a toll on me. I wish i didn't have school, Texas would have been awesome. I love him, so so much. I was telling him last night, how i can't imagine how i managed before him... He means everything to me now. And lately, our relationship has been perfect and 100% better than it's ever been. My Mom is amazing and came down to visit tonight to try to make me feel better :], i love her, too.
I'll be 19 in less than an hour. I don't really feel like celebrating my birthday without Chris. It's selfish and stupid, but it's hard for me. I am excited to finally be 19 though :]. I'm going to try to keep myself busy for the next 8 days, and hopefully they'll go by fast, and he'll be home.

Good Things I love being a mom! I was tickling Jarin earlier tonight and he was just laughing and squealing uncontrollably, which just made me start laughing. He's not talking for us yet, really, but he knows what's going on. He understands so much and picks up on things quickly. The biggest con right now is the naughtiness - hitting, throwing, tantrums on the floor...we are doing the best we can with it. It is hardest for me in public where I can't really discipline him the way I want. And that does not necessarily mean spanking - we're not quite there yet. But we give time-outs with him face-down on the floor...can't quite do that in the middle of a store or restaurant. More often than not he is a great little boy. And very loving - it is so great to ask your kid for a hug or kiss and have him walk over to you and do it and be happy about it. :) I just got a promotion at work. Not authority/rank-wise, but pay grade-wise. I am moving departments, which will be more really good experience, and the department I am moving to is a higher paid group. Also, just before being hired to the new department, we had our annual reviews. Mine was stellar - I got a 5/5 overall total. I only know of one other person who got that - I am sure there are a couple more, but out of 85 people it's awesome to be in the top 5 or so. From the time I left IHP last May ('07) to now, I have increased my pay by $12K/year. Holy crap! Maybe I really will get to retire some day. Fall is here! I finally bought a new coat, and some really cute boots. And it's football season - WOO! Feelin' bad for the Cyclones - though I really thought they were going to upset Kansas last week. My Cowboys are doing well for themselves, though I can't believe they lost to the Redskins - that was painful. Hopefully they continue to have a good season. Current Mood:  chipper |

Crusing around the lake.... Yesterday I took the boat out for the last time of the year. It goes into storage come Monday when I take it to my Grandparents for storage. I'll be on my last time on a boat of any kind on Monday as I plan on getting out for a few hours before work with Grandpa and use my Wisconsin Licence for only the third time this year. Wow that photography job took a chunk out of my "normal" summer... Anyways: What time I did have out fishing this year on my own boat, limited as it was I got some incredible pictures. Especially on my last night out which left me happy that in spite of it being a crummy day fishing wise, I made up with it with some incredible shots that will hopefully sell as prints someday. So lets get on with another photo post: ( An ode to summer in Photos: Around the lake... ) Current Mood:  accomplished |

Camera-Phone or Phone-Camera? So, last night I got my first paycheck (I won't go into how crazy work was yesterday. Maybe I should but eh.. its DONE) and I purchased the flipshot I had my eyes on. Came out to be $100 after a $50 rebate and $50 worth of accessories. Which isn't too horrible, as long as it lasts me a long time. And it is an improvement over my old phone or the free phones out there. Form factor- the phone flips out a lot like my old one but is slightly bigger when folded out, which honestly I like. The fact that I'm a big guy and I can easily talk into the mic without it reaching past my chin is a HUGE plus. Reception: about the same as my old phone, which is... eh ok. Of course, I didn't buy/intend it for this reason. The main reason for buying this phone, is I wanted something with a half useful digital camera on a cell phone. They have real digital camera phones in Korea, but this is the closest we have to one so far in the US. The phone flips around and turns itself into the form factor of a digital camera with a top shutter button, dedicated flash (instead of the screen blinking like my old one) This in itself is pretty nifty. The AF, while its slow is somewhat useful for taking out blurry or unfocused pictures. The camera reminds me a lot of my first real point and shoot digital camera, which was a 2mp olympus. That one, likewise didn't have any zoom, etc but was still more advanced then most cell phone cameras, even today. Sadly enough. The menu settings on the digital camera are a bit cumbersome, theres no dedicated dial to flip between modes, but honestly, its a phone. Theres not space for one. The display makes a great digital viewfinder, as the screen is bigger then that of many pocket digital cameras, but can be hard to see in bright sunlight as there is no analog viewfinder, but again; that would be difficult if not possible to fit into a digital camera. So now for the fun part: how does the picture quality stack up. Well since this is image heavy I'll put it behind two LG cuts ( Old cellphone pics taken with LG's 1.3 mp non dedicated Camera )( Photos taken with the 3mp Samsung Flipshot ) Current Mood:  contemplative |

Fast Cars and Freedom. I just have to survive until December 4th. My last day of fall classes, then i have a month to be home and try to better prepare myself for spring term and time to think about what i want to major in, or better yet, what i want to do with my life. Today when i was on one of my deliveries for work, i just kept saying to myself "This is what you've wanted... This is what you're been waiting so long for." I had to keep saying it over and over, because i do want to be in college and do something great. On the other hand, i don't want to owe thousands of dollars in student loans, live away from home, or always have this lonely/empty feeling of finally being on my own. I always thought i knew what i wanted to do, but it just does not seem like that anymore. There are so many thoughts going through my head: psychology, anthropology, pharmacy, education? I just don't know. Would i really be happy with any of those? I just want to be happy, i don't want to be one of those people who hate their jobs. I'm excited for my advising appointment next week though, that should help some.
Todd called me today. It made me so happy, i miss him so much. It's been years since i've seen him. He told me to call him someday and he'd come down to Pitt and take me to lunch. Talking to him though, just makes me miss the shop and think about the old days. But all of those shop days now, seem so far away...
Rachael and i are getting really excited for Julian to be born. He's due on November 14th, and i'm so excited. Melissa's baby shower was this past weekend, and it made me that much more excited. I can't wait to be an aunt :]. It's so weird to look back on your life, even over the past year or few months, and see how much so many things have changed. I think i need to embrace change better and use it to my advantage, rather than always trying to avoid it. Change isn't always bad and i really need to grasp that concept. I was listening to Rascal Flatts and "Fast Cars and Freedom" inspired my entry. Those type of songs, take me back to amazing things. Summer days and nights with Rachael, days at the shop, just being a kid, sitting on the swings at volleyball watching everybody play...
