The Weekend

Well... again long time no blog... I don't know why I have a hard time updating...

Friday morning I didn't do much of anything.  I did some laundry and then just kind of hung out and watched some tv.  I didn't work Friday night which was really weird, I didn't know what to do with myself.  Ashley and I went to Skyline for dinner and then I dropped her off so that I could shower and put some laundry away.  I ended up talking to Patrick, so I didn't have time to put my laundry away... whoops.  Oh well.  I went to pick Ashley back up so that we could go see some coworkers at work.  I dropped Luke off at his house so that he could shower and then he walked to my house.  Then; Ashley, Luke, and I went to meet Erika at her dorm.  We were all meeting up to go to a comedy night.  We got there fairly early, so we had some really good seats.  It was really good too.  It's a group of theatre kids that got together and formed an improv group called Reflex.  After the comedy night we went back to my house to play some nerts and have a couple drinks.  Laura was home from work by then, so she joined us.  It was a lot of fun.  After I drove Ashley home I came back and went to bed.  Erika and Luke were stubborn and walked home.

Saturday morning I woke up and tried to clean my room up a little bit.  I put my laundry away and had some breakfast.  Then, I called Patrick to see where he was... he was just driving into Muncie.  So, a few minutes later he was at my door!! :)  VERY HAPPY TO SEE HIM!!  I told Aimee that I would come visit her at the McKinley Mile and see the babies!!  They are ADORABLE!!  Too bad Miss Lilly felt like she needed a nap.  So, Ashley and I only got to take our picture with Addy.  There's a thing in the SVS office... Ashley and I say that we're twins and Aimee is our mom.  Then, Aimee had Lilly and Addy... twins... so now the 4 of us are siblings.  So, it would have been nice to get a sibling shot.  Oh well.  After Patrick and I left the McKinley mile, we got some lunch at the A&W/Silver's.  And he let me play with his new phone and we took some pictures.  Then, we went back to my house to meet Laura and Brian to play some cornhole.  Patrick invited his friend Jeremy to come over.  So the 5 of us just hungout all afternoon in our front yard.  It was the first Spring-like day, so we were taking full advantage of it.  Luke finally got his butt out of bed and came over at 3:45.  So we played some cornhole until like 4:30 and then I had to get ready for work.  Luke and I worked until 10. After work we were going to hangout, but decided to take a break.  The group (Me, Lindsey, Laura, Luke, Brian) had been hanging out for like 3 weeks straight.  So, I took a shower and Patrick and I went to bed to cuddle and watch some tv.

Sunday morning Patrick and I woke up and had some breakfast.  We watched some tv and then he packed up his stuff.  He had to go meet Josh and Jessica for lunch.  I had to be at work at 12.  So, after he picked his computer up from his apartment he came to work to tell me goodbye.  I wasn't busy, so I went to give him a hug and a kiss.  Then, I worked until 8.  I got what little prep work there was done before Luke came in at 5.  So, I was basically bored at work from 5-7.  At 7 they finally sent me home since we were so slow.  We think it's because the weather was so nice, so people were grilling and didn't want to eat at a restaurant.  I called Laura and she was at Robbie's and they invited me over to the cookout that they were having.  We played cornhole until like 9:30.  Then we took Brian to his group meeting and picked Ashley up.  We decided to go to Luke's to play wii.  Brian came over after his group meeting.  We were there until like 12:30.  We dropped Brian and Ashley off at their respective homes and went to bed.

It was a great weekend!! Monday morning I was definitely still on a high from the great weather, great friends, and seeing Patrick!!

Looking up...

This weekend was kind of rough on me... :(

All week Patrick kept saying that we were going to meet in Kokomo on Saturday.  We would either have lunch or dinner, depending on my work schedule, and then walk around the mall.  So, that was the light at the end of the tunnel for me.  It kept me motivated to finish the week.  Then, Friday night he informs me that Brent, his brother, told him that he has to work on Saturday.  No biggie... he will grind some feed and then we'll meet for a late lunch.  NOPE.  Patrick had to work until 6:30. :(  So, I didn't get to see him at all.  I was seriously depressed.  It didn't help that I had to work ALL WEEKEND!  Friday and Saturday 5-10 and Sunday 12-8.  And then, when I tried talking to Patrick Saturday night, he was at a bar where there no reception.  So, that made me even more sad.  It was just a horrible weekend and I was a complete wreck.  But, Luke talked to me and said some kind words and made me think about things.  So, Patrick and I talked it out and now we're good.  For awhile I was getting pretty frustrated with the whole not talking to him a lot and not seeing him thing.

Monday was actually a good day for me.  I slept in.  Didn't do a whole lot before class. Went to class and got out an hour early.  After I came home and talked to Laura for a bit.  Lindsey and I went to King Buffet.  When Luke and Laura got home from the gym we all played nerts.  It was a rough game night for me, but it was still a lot of fun.  We played for like 3 hours... yeah we're that lame. :-P  Then, for some reason I stayed up until 2 am.  Not very smart.

This morning I woke up at like 8:30 for my 9 am class.  So, needless to say... I was looking pretty rough.  I threw on my Red Sox hat and the clothes that I changed into last night after class.  My eyes were still kind of "swollen shut."  Like when you have been awake for only like 20 minutes... Man, I was looking sexy!! Ha ha.  Class went pretty well.  I need to do some stuff to catch up in there, but no biggie.  After class I tried to come back home and fall asleep, but it just wasn't happening.  So, I talked to Patrick for a bit and just watched some tv until I had to go to work.  I worked from 4-9.  Work wasn't too bad.  The jokes got a little out of control... some feelings were hurt.  I think we're all good now... but wow.  After work I came home and showered.  Then Luke, Erika, and Brian came over to play nerts.  So the six of us, Lindsey and Jeff, played nerts for like another 3 hours.  We may need a new hobby... nah!!

And that's where we are now... Time for bed!!

Hmmm... long time, no blog

Okie doke... Let's see here. I apologize for being gone so long... I realize that I'm talking to like one person when I say that, but oh well.

Valentine's Day was alright. I wasn't expecting much because Patrick and I are both poor college students, so no big deal. I had class from 4-8:30 and then I went to Wal*Mart to get Patrick a card and a bag to put his presents in. At 9:15 I finally got to see him. So, we exchanged cards and stuff. I bought him some new underwear and some gum. And he made me a card. It was cute and reminded me of our first date. Then, I made his favorite kind of hamburger helper and we watched some tv. We took showers and went to bed, exciting right?

Friday was pretty boring. I worked from 2-10 and we were BUSY!! My coworkers and I were considering a mass-suicide attempt if that tells you anything. J/k.

Saturday wasn't too terrible. At 2 p.m. Laura, Brian, and I went to look at a potential house for next year. It was really nice. It has 3 decent sized bedrooms and a closet-sized bedroom, 2 car garage, 2 bathrooms, nice open kitchen, etc. After the house tour, Laura and I came back home to get me all dolled-up for Patrick's Red and White Formal. It was for his National Guard Troop. Social Hour started at 5, so we left Muncie at 3. One of the Sergeants was nice enough to let us change in his hotel room, so we didn't have to wear our nice clothes all the way there. Don't we look nice though!!

We were really bored, there was a lot of business stuff and formal stuff at the beginning. Then, they finally served dinner which wasn't too bad. Then, more business stuff. After all of the formal stuff was over, we decided to leave. We didn't stay for the dancing or door prizes, oh well.

Sunday, I caught up on my sleep before heading to work at 4. After work I went to Patrick's, took a shower and went to sleep. And today, I haven't done a darn thing. Well, Patrick and I went home so that he could see the Dr. He's fine. Well, hopefully he will be back to normal in a few weeks. :)

That it's for now.

Hooray for Birthdays!!

Yesterday was Laura's 21st birthday!!  It was a lot of fun. :)  Lindsey, Laura, and I went out to breakfast at Bob Evan's.  Then, we went to get Laura's new license... her picture turned out pretty well.  Where do you think we went next?  If you guessed the liquor store, you would be correct.  We got some Jager and some Boone's Farm.  We took two shots of Jager and chased them with Red Bull.  Then, we played some nerts.  I had to go to work until 9.  So the girls got to get cute and they had dinner at Puerta's.  I met them there after work and got to enjoy some chips and a nice glass of water.  We enjoyed swapping some stories and poking fun at Laura.  She got a little upset and told us to be nice because it was her birthday.  After dinner, the girls went to Nick's house to play Rock Band.  I was kind of tired and in need of a shower, so I declined the chance to rock out and just went to Patrick's.

Today.  I have decided to skip class, I know... bad Ashley.  But, I did it for a good reason.  I'm cleaning my room and doing laundry.  After that's done I will be doing some homework.  So, I'm skipping a 5 hour class to be productive... that's fair right!? Lindsey's mom is coming to stay the night tonight, so we are going to hangout, play nerts, and maybe do some casual drinking.  I'm pretty excited.  :) It should be fun.

Oh, and my Obama shirt came in the mail today.  Thank you to Amy for buying it for me. :)  I will post a picture when I get a chance.

College Life

Today was a pretty good day. :)

I didn't wake up until 10:30 and then Patrick and I just laid around watching tv until I drove him to class at 12:30.  Then, I just came home and hungout with Laura.  We played on our computers and she told me about her exciting Wednesday night ;)  When Lindsey got home we went to the mall and just walked around.  None of us bought anything, but it was fun to get out and do something. Laura got a haircut and the beautician fell in love with us, but I mean, come on who wouldn't?  Ha ha.

After the mall, we went to a pet store and looked at puppies that we couldn't afford :(  I don't know why we do that to ourselves, but we do it all the time.  Then, we went to McDonalds and rented a movie from the Red Box.  And they were out of sweet tea!! Lindsey and I were not happy!!! >:-O  Lindsey and I came home and took naps and Laura probably did too, we're a lazy bunch.  Ha ha.  Speaking of lazy, I skipped class so that I could do all of this.  Shh...  When we woke up at 6:30, we decided to go to Puerta's!!  The best Mexican restaurant in Muncie!!  We went in sweats and hoodies... ahhh I love us!! 

After dinner, we came back and Lindsey and I wanted to go to Laura's friend's house, but she is embarrassed of us.  So, Lindsey and I decided we would jump into Laura's car when she was on her way to the "party."  After standing outside for like 15 minutes, freezing our butts off, she finally walked outside.  We scared her, but she wouldn't let us in the car.  So, we followed her there. Ha ha.  She told us she wouldn't let us in the house. :(  So we drove to Starbucks for coffee.  Laura got back 30 minutes later and our friend Amanda arrived shortly after her.  So, we played Nerts, best card game EVER!!  I kicked their butts.

So this is where we are now.  I'm off to Patrick's and they are watching the movie, Game Plan.

So, as much as I am over college... I will miss days like this. :(

Trying Something New...

I wanted to start this at the beginning of the year to keep people updated on my *oh so interesting* life, but I got distracted... :P

So, yeah... my life has been going pretty well.  I am doing really well in school.  I got a 3.2 last semester.  For those of you who don't know, I am currently attending classes at Ivy Tech in Muncie.  I didn't do so hot at BSU, so they said bye bye.  I'm coming to terms with it.  Things happen for a reason and I have met a lot of great people in my Ivy Tech classes.  I'm taking culinary classes and I really enjoy them. :)

Patrick and I have been dating for almost a year now.  He's the greatest guy! :)  I can't imagine my life without him!!  We have talked about marriage and know that it's going to happen, he's just waiting on money for the ring!! :D  And I know that he's the one because we just clicked and we live so close.  I really love his family and my family loves him.  I could go on and on about him, but I'll spare you. :P

My roommates are AMAZING!!  I love living with them.  We have a blast.  These girls are definitely going to be with me for the rest of my life.  You know that saying... "We don't go to college to meet our husbands, but to find our bridesmaids."  I found them. :)

Well, I'm getting kind of restless.  I will update more later.
