long time no see....

hey!

okay, i NO its been so long since ive blogged! i just keep forgetting that i have one! It seems the summer is just wizzing by and im trying so hard to keep track of the days....it seems as though the days i work i just work then sleep....lol, which is all there is time for in between, but oh well! im SO SO SO glad that im only working three days a week, its UNBELIEVEABLY nice!! lol, it would be even nicer if i actually had someone in town to do stuff with....except the moms....lol, but oh well..i really CANNOT WAIT to see you laurie!! its been WAY too long!!

okay, so this weekend--with "brandon"--the "blind date-ish" thing.....a little nervous.....not gonna lie....lol, but i really just want to have fun and maybe get a new friend out of it, you know?? i found out that he doesn't LIVE in el reno, but he's FROM el reno, and lives down the street from andrew....but anyways, i think we're going to see ocean's 13 at yukon probably at 730ish, but other than that, not really sure about dinner, orrrr anything afterwards....not sure if they're coming to my game, but i just DONT want it to be awkward, you know?? (sigh) i feel bad for saying this, but whenever i get really anxious or nervous, i get the a VERY active GI, if you know what im talking about.....lol, so its started already, and its not even Saturday!! lol, anyways, i think it will be fun......i hope....

i just have to get through the next three days of work, but i think this weekend im going to try and get me a NEW CAMERA!! they are having a sale, so i would get 10-12% off so i think that would help a little!! but i get paid thursday so that worked out REALLY well!

as for the weight issue.....im REALLY trying and i think its paying off, im trying to drink more water, i am however taking a diet pill, which even though i am taking it, im not convinced that it is having a huge effect, lol, but you know most of them probably dont really work anyways; my mom and i got some more of the JC food so i think that is helping too..... but i definitely think mexican food is my weakness, so im trying to stay away from that for a while, father's day was a LOAD! lol, but i think ive lost about 5 pounds since i weighed last, so im just hoping to lose another 12 lbs by the time my family all goes down to texas for my cousin's ordainment the second week of July-ish, but who knows, at least then, i think it would be noticeable and everyone could see how different i would be....but im just trying to take it one day at a time, so we'll see, i guess!!

ive also been looking into grad schools of nurse practitioner schools and nurse anesthetist schools, and just come to the realization that i really just dont know AT ALL what i want to do after working as an RN for a couple of years....i DO KNOW that i dont JUST want to be an RN, i want to become something "bigger" im not sure how you say that, but i just dont think i want to just stop with the RN, so i know the Lord has a plan, and now, im incredibly okay with not knowing. I am trying to draw closer in my relationship with the Lord, and continue to be sensitive to His words and Holy Spirit as well as being in his word and learning more about Him daily.

"my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness"

LOVE YOU!

I know what you mean about work. I wish I could just work three days, but unfortunately, that's not how it goes. I'm trying to get into the swing of things still.

About "brandon" (even if by some chance you end up marrying him, I'll always call him "brandon" hehe.) just try not to have any expectations. Jef was kind of a blind date. Well, no one really set us up, but still. Ocean's 13 is a good movie. If you like him, offer to buy him some shakes after the movie or something. That'll make it more relaxed but let him know you're interested and want to spend more time with him. It's not being forward, it's just letting him know. You have the right approach with at least you'll be friends. He sounds like he'd be cool, especially if your cousin recommends him! Take some Imodium just before on Saturday just to make sure. It works like a charm and you'll feel great and not have to worry about it. Be sure to let me know!

Camera!? Hooray! I am excited for you! Be sure to take lots of pics so I can be part of your life from so far away.

I am glad that you are seeing results. You wanted to look beautiful at Mindi's wedding and you sure did! I'm SO proud of you! I've kind of backslid without losing ground. Just lost time and motivation, but I'm trying to get it back. There's something I want to talk to you about and this is the most secret place. We were talking about Katie's wedding and I was thinking, she's not getting married til Oct. 08 and I could very realistically get married before her, even if Jef and I date a year before we get engaged. Candace, I am CRAZY about him. I care about him more everyday. You seriously need to meet him. He's godly, handsome, smart, creative, passionate, goofy, athletic, and 100% man/wild at heart. He respects me, treats me well, does nice things for me, and as anti-dating as I have been lately, I have really fallen for him and see a future with him. So that's my motivation. I don't want to get engaged and think, "I wish I'd started sooner" but I am looking at dresses and getting ideas because I honestly haven't thought about it. We've talked about it, though, so we'll see!

More than weight and job success, I am proud of you for this desire to grow as a person in Christ. You have such a bright and beautiful future, and I'm glad that you desire to grow and are concentrating on preparing yourself as the bride of Christ. Know he has a wonderful plan for you and it will be revealed in time.

This is the longest book I have ever written for you haha!
