Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

This past weekend was one of the most fun weekends ever. There was no cell phone, internet, or even tv reception. Yet being in the company of good friends was enough. And I have Matt, Mon, Kat, Abby, Raymond, Gwynn, and Sam to thank for that! This weekend we borrowed my boss' house in Big Bear. The cutest house ever too! We left early Sat morn and arrived a little before lunch, due to some traffic and putting on them tire cables. The drive was cool, the scenery so pretty. Snow! Haha The weather was nice and wasn't too bad. Off and on winds but for sure COLD! When we got there we all got our grub on. We made the trip potluck style so everyone brought a little something, but when all together it was a a lot! Lasagna, dips, wings, pasta salad, cookies, chips...you hungry yet? Haha We had so much food and drinks it was like we were staying for the week! But anyway, we grilled Gwynn's YUMMY carne asada..yup you heard right! Grilled in the snowy weather! We all put the food together, ate, had some laughs, and watched some movies. From Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Pinocchio, it was nice just to hang out on the couch with your friends. Some of us slept and got some well needed rest, some of us including me went outside, played, and even sled! And the best part was, it snowed! I've never seen FALLING snow. I loved every minute of it! None of us went boarding though, we were all pretty content with staying in. Of course, what's a gathering without drinks! Me and the girls drank and laughed the night away as the guys continued to watch movies (and I say this loosely becuase it was prob 7pm). Hahaha By 10pm, we were all getting ready for bed and we all slept early. We're such party animals huh? Haha We got up early the next morn, ate the left overs for breakfast and started to clean up the house. We had lunch at an italian spot at the Village, walked around, and headed home soon after. Short trip, but soon to be repeated! And this time, maybe going a day earlier so we won't be so tired when we get there and we'll have a whole entire day to play. But I really can't complain. It was awesome fun!! I'll post some pics soon.

1:06 AM

I really should be studying or sleeping. But instead I'm watching reruns of Full House on Nick at Nite. It's the episode where Steph gets all freaked out over an earthquake and doesn't want to leave her dad's side. Earthquakes are scary!! I'm TERRIFIED of them! Anyone who knows me well, knows that I cry and panic at the slightest ground movement. When I was younger, my parents would have to pretty much carry me to the car from school becuause I'd be crying my eyes out scared. These days, I still go crazy and my parents ALWAYS calls me on my cell phone after the shake to make sure that I'm not only ok but because they know how crazy scared I get. We haven't had any big hits (thank goodness) but had some smaller ones throughout the years. And I'd be at work or somehting, and be too embarassed to cry so I just fight it. Like, haaaah yaaaa iiim ooh kaaay. Haha But once my parents or Matt calls, I'd be ok. Sorta. Random jibberish. I should sleep now. Early meeting in a few hours....

In a nutshell

Wowzers. It's been a while! I just thought I'd start blogging again, we'll see how long it lasts. Haha Anyway here's my update, my life right now in a nutshell.

Life's still good, can't really complain and actually shouldn't. Still very blessed. I'm turning 26 in a few weeks, but I'm really 12. Matt and I are going on 8 years and still enjoying our time together. I still work at WaMu with Home Loans though I was laid-off right before Christmas but was rehired 2 weeks after with a better offer. (Just proves, someone up above is always looking out!) I'm taking a 360 in my career and am currently pursuing a B.S. in Nursing. I'm a prenursing student at National University and hopefully will start the program in LA or SD by next year. Orginally I was taking the 2yr RN route, but decided eh, whats another year or so? And the wait was sooo long! Haha But at least I finally figured out what I wanted to do? Well hopefully. Haha But no turning back now...moving forward! It's been hectic in terms of schedule, each class is a month so it's go go go! But luckily I've been able to balance work and school out..for now at least. Haha My sister goes to UCD now so not having her around took some getting used to, she's on her 2nd year now which is weird cuz crap, she's in college?! Haha Graham is still fat, but still cute as ever!! Aaand that's pretty much it. Same ol' me! Still hanging out..can always find me with friends or family, or being lazy bum at Matt's. Haha But always looking for a fun!

The holidays were great. I spent my first Thanksgiving away from home with Matt and his family up north and though I missed my family it was complete awesomeness and I had so much fun! Christmas came so quick, and as mentioned earlier I wasn't working so it was a nice mini vacation. The year started off ok, it's really just all a blur..this year is just zooming by! We're already at the end of Feb! Last week for Valentines, Matt and I watched one of his fave comedians, Russell Peters, at the Nokia in LA on Sat. That is one nice venue! Next, is my birthday. And guess what! It's on Good Friday! Anyone care to join me at church?? Hehe

Tonight I hung out with Kat and Gwynn, had dinner. It's always fun with those 2! We just end up talking and laughing...but mostly laughing until we're crying. The best kind! This weekend we're borrowing my boss' house in Big Bear so we're taking a trip up. It's gonna be crazy fun! Looking forward!
