Hello

So, this is an update in pictures. I like pictures.

We went to Ichiban's for Jordan's birthday on St. Patrick's day with family and a few friends and it was a lot of fun. The food was also amazing and would recommend it to anyone, but you better be prepared to pay for it. Probably one of my favorite parts was the gay mexican server we had. He was super nice (took the picture for me) and hilarious! I also like how the picture turned out. I look at it and remember the good times :) I like pictures like that.

So then Hailey decided she needed (would cry if I took it away from her) to wear my hoodie. I thought she looked really cute and she reminded me of Yoda, so I took a picture.
Then for easter, Hailey got the Tadoodles paint things from her great aunt Anne. So we tried them out and needless to say, she literally got into it. She pretty much became a part of the art work, thank goodness they were washable!
A close-up of the masterpiece!
Here is Hailey in her Easter dress in the nursery. I thought she looked quite adorable and of course you have to get pictures of the little girls in their adorable Easter dresses. Though Hailey was the only one of the family who dressed up, I figured she was dressed up enough for all of us :)

Other than that, life is still pretty much the same. Jordan might get a different job, depending on a few phone calls, I still have to find a paid internship for this summer, but have a few good leads that I am hoping will pan out.

Jordan and I are hoping to get into a house soon. We've already been pre-approved, but we personally want to get a few things in order first and then wait for the right time. Namely get some debt paid off. Credit cards are evil.

Loved it

Also, this guy, Jason Castro's preformance last week of "Hallelujah" makes me smile. I loved it, a lot. So much that I bought the 1 minute 45 second preformance clip on iTunes. (I think he sings it better than Jeff Buckley)

happy/sad

Sigh.

I have a love/hate relationship with the way my life is right now. I love living so close to all the people who are near and dear to me. Plus, with Hailey being in daycare, I have days to get stuff done! I really don't like having to pay for the daycare though, good thing we have savings. I hate job hunting. I can't wait until I find a job home and can be done with it. I hate living in apartments, I'm so ready to be in a house. I'm contemplating moving into a rental house once our lease is up, but rental houses cost more and that means more time saving up to buy a house. I hate the lack of space here. I need an office for my computer/graphic work, but I have a tiny desk set up in our ONE living space. It sucks. I hate not having as much money from me working, like I said, I cannot wait until I get a job (plus once I do, I'll stop complaining about it on here!).

I got CS3 in the mail a week ago, including my Dreamweaver tutorial CD. I have decided that I am not a fan of web design, it is way more coding than designing. I don't enjoy it as much as simply designing things. Who knows, maybe the tutorial will get better, but as far as building CSS websites, it sucks.

Last weekend when the people we were going to do stuff with couldn't get together, I realized the serious lack of friends I have. After a falling out with 3 of my friends (which really resulted in loss of contact with like 10 friends), I have a very, very small "group" of friends. It was pretty ugly, and even though it happened in February of 2006, I am still recovering. That sucks too. Plus, I am the kind of person who goes for quality instead of quantity, so it takes me awhile to make friends, at least good friends. This is another area that REALLY gets me down sometimes. The sad part is, sometimes I think I miss the people who "broke" my heart. I'm crazy. I am thankful that Jordan has been here for me though-out this entire thing, because if I was by myself, I don't think I would have recovered as quickly.

I am super excited to be graduating in May!! I am also excited to have an interview on March 18th!

So there it is, how I am feeling at this moment. I thought it might be "therapeutic" to get it down in words, but was it acutally? Eh, possibly.
