Horses

So a few Saturdays ago I went over to a lady's ranch and she showed me around and told me a bit about managing a ranch. We decided that I would go over there every other Saturday and she would teach me about having horses on your property and horseback riding etc... I'm so excited! I'm going there again this Saturday. Last Saturday I went to the Horse Expo at the fair grounds and it was amazing! Except for the fact that it was REALLY cold and sort of snowing. I loved seeing all the different breeds of horses! We even got to "meet" some horses (basically pet them). One of the stallions was such a sweet-heart, he kept licking my hand like a dog! I have also decided that I someday want a shire. We saw one there that was GIGANTIC! His owner had to stand on a stool to braid his mane. They are like great danes (which I want one of those too someday), gentle giants. I want to actually own a horse someday soon, we'll see after I graduate what kind of job I get and it might happen sooner than later!

I know!!

So, if anyone out there knows of anyone who needs design work done, let me know!! I have a little freelance business going on (it's not official, though I made myself a logo :) I would much appreciate any work! I love doing design!

because I have to

So, I haven't posted in a while. Having a blog kind of adds a responsibility to ones life, or maybe it's just me, but I feel I am obligated to post something, at least once in a while. I dunno, I suck at writing random stuff. So today, my post will be about graduation. If you know me, I hope you can come to my graduation party, call me for details. If you don't know my phone number, you probably shouldn't be there.

I've been tagged

So I was tagged, but I'm not going to tag 7 other people because I'm not that affluent in the "blogging community."

Here are the rules:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1) I am never satisfied with my hair for longer than 6 months (maybe not so much of a surprise)
2) I am loyal, to a fault
3) I like moving
4) I love animals and I love having animals in my place of residence
5) I have baggage
6) I am terrible at keeping up with chores around the apartment
7) I suck at coming up with these types of things

So there you have it. Enjoy.

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.
