thursday thanks!

Long Post.. Ready, Set, GO! :D

I'm very thankful for..
 The family I work for. They are so chill & trust me fully with their kids, so it gives me a ton of freedom to still get things done while I'm at work.

I'm very thankful for..
  Pell grants. They allow me to go to school full time without taking out loans, which I love. Sometimes it's nice to be poor ;) ha.

I'm also so thankful for..
  The bad example that a TON of my family is. They make the mistakes so I don't have to. I'm sad for the choices they are making, but glad that I can see that & know that I want literally NOTHING to do with that lifestyle, whether I am still super active in the church or not.

I'm grateful that I..
   Know how to clean. This seems strange, but I hate when stuff is dirty. Even when I'm at work I clean a TON & I'm very strict about the kids cleaning up their own stuff. If I didn't know how to clean, then I'd go insane, seriously.

I'm very thankful for..
   Movies. They have been entertaining me so well lately. FYI: Something Borrowed & Pride and Prejudiced are my new favorite movies <3

I'm very thankful for..
   Cameras. Anyone that knows me, knows that I am slightly obsessed with pictures. I love capturing memories & lately I've been missing taking them. Let's finish this summer strong with lots of pictures ;)



So, for everything else going on in my life;

I bought a TV from Chrissy's fiance last weekend & it is GIANT. I'm in love with it. & since Austin got me Apple TV for my birthday, it's pretty much the most awesome set up ever. Jarid & Jerell came over to play super smash last night & stayed until 4:30AM. I passed out. Ha. They're going back to school tomorrow and I am so sad. Stinkin' Kansas!

My mom is coming home in the morning so I have been cleaning like a CRAZY person. My cousins are so messy. Living with 3 boys is rough, ha. But she abandoned me right after school got out for her, & went to CA to stay with her husband, Kim for the summer. I've missed her WAYYY too much. So stoked she's gonna finally be home! :D

School is STILL not figured out. The school decided they had to "verify" my FAFSA, & my transcripts are still processing. I have no idea what to do about classes, but I definitely can't take the ones I need to, unfortunately :/ YAY! another waste of a semester. I hate being behind >:(

Nicholas & Jameson are leaving on Wednesday to go to San Diego. Nicholas is staying there for school, but Jameson is coming back for a week and a half or so. I'm so sad that they're leaving. The house is gonna be so empty without them!

My best friend, basically sister, Emilie, is moving to St. George, & I'm extremely upset about it. I'm gonna miss her. Utah is stealing all the cool people! Gloria, Em, Kimmie, Quinc.. Maannnn :(

I loveeee football season. I can't wait for it to start. me & Jake are gonna watch SO much football :D :D toooo stoked :)

OHH & last but not least.. I HATE JERSEY SHORE. It always ruins my plans. I always have thursday or friday off, so I can actually do stuff on thursday nights, but everyone (Austin & Em) INSIST on watching that stupid show. So yes, I do hate it. I can't wait for the new season of Grey's though :D
