Life in General.

So life has been pretty insane lately. Trying to get everything ready for Christmas which is 2 days away I cant even believe it. This year is gonna be alot harder for me. Its really weird not having Rachel and Casey there with us. Im used to getting up in the morning and having everyone there to open presents and Brandon usually comes over around 10 or so. But now Rachel and Casey are out on there own, Jarron and Char are doing there own thing. Ya everyone will be over later in the day but its just not gonna be the same :(

Also, I start school in about 3 weeks. Im extremely excited, yet extremely terrified. I know this is what I want to do, but at the same time its going to be really hard! My schedule won't be extremely full but its still gonna be rough to get used to it! I will have Work Monday through friday from 8-5 like usual. Then on Mondays and Wednesdays I have Clinical Pathology from 6-7:20. Than I have medical terminology from 9-10:30 on Saturday mornings. So its gonna be crazy. Than hopefully in the next year or so I can start the nursing program :)

Ainsworth Family Christmas Party!

So we had our Ainsworth family Christmas party last night. It was SUCH a blast. Yummy food too :). It had a great turn out and we all had a fun night! Here are some of the best moments of the night, captured by Lady!

This is Kace(SP) shooting Buster with his dart gun "Kabloom!"

Chloe tried to make Rachel and Casey eat invisible food. Rach found the real food luckily. Unfortunately Casey ate too much invisible food and invisible puked all over! Me and Brandon Laughing at Crazy aunt Judy! "The train was freezin and full of FAT people!" Haha I love Brandon! Me and Annie Chilling in the Kitchen with Danny :)

My second Identity. I am the Grinch!

I hate the snow!

So any of you that know me know that i HATE the snow! Its my worst thing in the world. A year ago today I was in Hawaii. Such a Blast! This is my family at pearl Harbor



This is what I got all day long at work today.
Needless to say... Today was NOT my favorite day EVER. This is only about 3 of the 7 inches we ended up with by 3 o'clock when I left. RIDICULOUS! Luckily Brandon saved the day and picked me up and rode trax home with me. I love him lots :)

Company Party!

So Last night was my work company party thing. It was such a blast! We went to Madelines steak house. The food was alright as was the service. The group was a blast though! Rachel was my date and we had a wonderful night! We got white elephant gifts. She got a candle and I got some tools. It was a riot! I have a few pics and there are plenty more to come :)

Me and Rachel opening up our white elephant gifts. Hers is a red candle and mine is a toolset.

Everyone says Krista and I fight like sisters so this is us fighting over the white elephant gifts :)

I LOVE my company. Its a blast :) I have been here 10 months already and everyday is a new adventure. The only bad part of the evening was watching Earl make out with his girlfriend in the parking lot. I almost lost my meal. Hahaha. More pictures to come :)

When?

When did I become the girl that lets some stupid guy affect her?? I have been so good and happy lately. Than yesterday a guy at my work, Jim, asked me if I had an old cell phone I could sell him. Any of you that know me know that I go through cell phones faster than you can change your underwear :). So I went home and put my sim card into an old cell phone so I can delete all the old stuff off it to sell him. I went in to the messages and there was like 100 from Matt. The cute ones he used to send me that I saved. Telling me he loves me and I'm the best thing ever to happen to him. That didnt really affect me too much I just deleted them. Than I got to the pictures... There were a few of some old friends. Than there were a few of me and matt together. We both looked soo happy together! What happened? The one that kills me is the one of Matt and Jaylon, his nephew, together. I miss his nephew SO much. He was such a sweetheart. It took everything I had to get me to delete those pictures. I was almost in tears. I'm stronger than this. I know I just need to move on. But how do you move on from the one thing you have always wanted?

Update :)

I love this time of year! As much as I HATE the snow and the cold, you can't help but feel the spirit in the air. Its incredible. I had the opportunity to go to forgotten carols with my family as well as one of my very best friends, Kris. It was so much fun to see his reaction to the music and the spirit in the room. Most of you had probably never heard of the forgotten carols. What it is is a guy that pretends to have severe mental issues and he also pretends to be a member of someones family that is staying in there house while there out of town. He pays a hospital to have a nurse, Constance Chamberlain, take care of him for the week. While she is there she helps decorate his tree. Each ornament has a carol, but they aren't your original Christmas Carols, Thus the Forgotten Carols. They talk about what the Inn keeper thought when he sent Joseph and Mary away. He thinks he knew this man. When asked when he was born, his response is "Just over 1500 years ago this may." And he thinks this is totally normal. Its a riot. I HIGHLY recommend it.

So I realized again that I am ALOT stronger than I give myself credit for. My uncle constantly reminds me of the lyrics to one of my favoritest songs EVER. Its called Mountains. It talks about a man in the army who lost his leg but he kept going strong. He trained through endless pain and pills so he could run in a marathon. It talks about a waitress who worked SO hard at the local diner day and night for less than minimum wage. But it was worth it all to see her son in that cap and gown. The best part is the Chorus "There are times in life when you've gotta crawl, lose your grip, trip and fall. When you can't lean on no one else. Thats when you find yourself! I've been around and I've noticed that, walkin's easy when the road is flat, them dang old hills will get you EVERY time. The good Lord gave us mountains. So we could learn how to climb. Well this world ain't fair. It can knock you on your butt. You can just lie there or you can get back up. You gotta get back up" Its a great song :)
