Portland

I know I said I would be writing more, but I haven't been able to because.... I MOVED! And I don't have the net set up yet, I only have my phone.

Anyways, I moved about... May 10th I believe. The day after mothers day. It was pretty much a last minute decision. I didnt even really know I was going to. I have been really happy though, and I am having a great time. I live with my bf Sergio's aunt. She really enjoys having me there. She is in pain sometimes and needs some help around the house. I try to clean and I usually cook dinner every night. She has three kids, 15, 14, and 11. They only come on the weekends, though. The two youngest are girls and I enjoy when they come and we all really get along. I know they enjoy having me there, too. They keep saying "When you get a job and get money are you still going to be living with my mom?"

I have been trying to look for a job as much as I can. I dont really have the car to drive around in and since I dont have the net set up, It's been hard to get lots and lots of applications in but I have tried. Just the other day I had an interview at Tmobile. Still waiting to hear back from them, but I really hope i get the job. Very tired of not working and I need to start saving money to pay down my debt, get a car and to get my own place.

The only thing bad is, it's already june but it has been raining SO MUCH there! I think I have only seen about 4 nice days. Everyone is saying its weird for it to be raining so much at this time. I just hope it stops, soon.

Well, there is a quick little update. I will try to get some net, or go somewhere with net and update more and in detail.

Mimi wants me to update... So I am! Mother's Day

I haven't written on here in about.... a year it looks like. I was at my grandma's today (Mimi) and she said she checks my page every so often to see if I've updated, and said I should! I have really been too preoccupied to write, even though I facebook day and night. I guess I feel like I don't have anything exciting to write about!!! But i recently cut my hair and Mimi said I should blog about it lol.

I have been wanting to cut my bangs for some time for something different to my hair, and I finally did! For anyone who knows me, I love my long hair and it's like my security blanket, and it even keeps me warm. LOL. So I have been thinking about it for some time... but every time I need a haircut, just a trim, I get so nervous and even nervous for my own mom to cut my hair. But I just said "I'm gonna do it" so last monday I went to Hermiston to my stepmom's and had her cut my bangs. She is in hair school. She did a really good job and I love my new hair! I keep getting a lot of compliments on it, too. Here are some before and after pictures.

Before, no bangs. How my hair has been forever. Also with my new sunglasses, hehe.

Now, with bangs. Which does everyone prefer?

For more of an update with what I've been up to, it's a whole lot of nothing. I was going to move to Portland, and it didnt work out, so I'm still in Tri-Cities for the time being. In february I lost my job, and I haven't been doing anything since. I wanted a little bit of a vacation, but now that I've had it for three months, I want to get back to working. I want to try and find a serving job again.

Well, today was mothers day and I had a great weekend! It was so good to get out of the house. I went to Moses Lake early saturday morning to babysit my best friend Carla's baby, Julien. I have been watching him for some time now and he is soooo adorable and so sweet. He is only 2 1/2 and he talks SO SO SO good. He says so many sentences and he's so smart. I always enjoy watching him. Carla and Eric are such good parents and they all have so much love for each other!! He loves his parents! I babysat him over night and by the morning time, he missed them so much!

After I was done babysitting, I met up with my mom and Heather. We went to Summerwood, to see my grandma, and I haven't seen her in a really long time. She is in Summerwood, the Alzeimher's home. She is doing good, but I don't think she remembers us kids anymore. It is sad to see, but my mom took her a little card and a candy bar. She is the same old her though in many ways, we went to her room and she has abunch of purses still and afew dolls. She always loved purses and she had soooo many dolls when we were growing up. For birthdays or Christmas we always knew what we were getting from Grandma. Purses and Dolls. She also really loved jewelry and had TONS of it! I noticed she had a few necklaces too. She is probably where I get my love of handbags from. :)

Then, Heather, mom and I headed to wal mart for a few things and then to mom's house. Even though it's moms day, she made some sandwiches for me and Heather. Even though I don't show it much, I do really love my mom and I hope she knows it. She is still the same too, and I said to her today "We're all grown up and you still worry" because we were at Heather's apartment and she was saying be careful walking up the stairs! LOL! It's okay though, I know it's her job to worry even though we are grown. I appreciate a lot she's done for me lately, and I know I don't always show it because I'm caught up with a lot of other things. She recently got married on April 10th, 2010 and it was a really beautiful wedding. I could post pics, but they are all on my facebook.

Then it was time to go to the farm!!! I always love going to the farm to visit. Mimi and Bampa were home and we sat and chatted for awhile. I always love going and talking to Mimi. She always has good advice, wants to know what's going on with us and how she can help us. And she always has good spiritual thoughts to share. She was extra nice to me today, because she gave me two puzzles to do since I'm so bored and $20 to get more puzzles! Thank you, Mimi!!! I love Mimi so much because she is the best grandmother in the world. She loves all of us so much and she would do anything for any of her kids or grandkids and she treats us like kings and queens. She always puts her thoughts to us first before herself!!! She is so generous. Mimi and Bampa even cleaned out the basement and put in carpet and made it really nice for a place for the grandchildren to be. I can't wait till it's done and hopefully I will get to Moses Lake more often. A funny thing she said was we were talking about Bampa and she said "I know my man!" I thought it was funny and sounded like something I would say lol. She said she really loved my hair and she told me over and over! Love you, Mimi.

Craig, Tina, Ashley, Heidi and Derek eventually came over and we all sat and around and visited. I left a message on Tina's facebook for happy mother's day because she is truly one of the best moms in the world, too. All my aunts are: Julie, Jackie, and Mindi. I love them all so much because they are the best mothers, and the best cooks.

All my aunts and Mimi are the best cooks I know. I wish I was in town more often for dinner! lol! Julie always used to try to get me to come bake cookies and she was telling me how much her and Megan love cooking together. And she makes good dinners, too. Thanksgiving and Christmas are the best and other various get togethers we have because Julie goes all out on the food.

Jackie is also a good cook and she's fun to talk to!! I remember recently she bought me a frozen yogurt at Costco and didn't even get herself a treat... I was so grateful, lol. Jackie was the one always putting up with all the loud sleepovers me, cherise, heather and chayla used to have.

My aunt Mindi is so sweet. I love talking to her, too, but haven't seen her in a long time!! She is the best wife and mother always looking out for her family. I remember she got me socks for Christmas one year, the fuzzy kind, and I love them!!! I think she was the one who turned me onto the socks, lol.

Now my aunt Tina. I love my auntie Tina so much because she is so strong. She always has the best advice and the best hugs. She's always organizing fun things for us cousins to do and because of that she is great at hosting parties and get-togethers. From dance parties to cousin parties, they are always so fun because Tina knows exactly what to do! I love her so much because she has always looked out for me and always been concerned about me. She is always a good person to laugh with, and I really appreciate her because she took me to breakfast acouple months ago! She is very easy to talk to and I can tell her anything.

I love all my aunts so much because they have their own kids, but treat their nieces and nephews like their own kids, too.

I also really love my aunt Heather. I don't see her much that often, but she came to Tri-Cities the other day and Heather and I went to lunch with her. I love going out to eat with her because you can always count on her for a good time. She always has funny stories to tell. She also is a very hard-worker!!

Okay so back to my day... after we were done at the farm, me and Heather delivered a flower to Chandra from Brent and Carolyn. Me and Heather ended up being there for awhile! Now I have to write about Chandra. It is my brothers mother in law but she always makes me and Heather feel part of the family. Since I've known her, I've always thought she was hilarious. She is the life of the room and we had a very good conversation when we were there today. Lol. I love Chandra, too because she loves my brother so much. hehe

Well, that was pretty much the gist of my day! I headed home to Tri-Cities, and now it is just me and my dad again here. Heather moved back to Moses Lake and got an apartment with Cherise. Now I have no one to be bored with! Oh well, guess its time to get a job. Well, I have written a lot and now it's time for bed. Goodnight, and I will try to write more.
