Demolition Derby

 this guy was so into it! He would hoot and holler and fist pump whenever the slightest crash occured!

In all we all had a good time at the county fair. Y and N wanted to play this game that the fire man had going at their booth for the little kids. You had to run up and down the way carrying water in a bucket from one basin to the other. Whoever filled the empty one up first won. Y would just dump it all over his front in an attempt to get it into the bucket. That was pretty cute. N beat Y by a long shot! I got to dance with N a little. little J.E.P. came to dance to but, of course, she didn't want to look at me. We all felt the huge absence of the Welling family but I think CB and I represented well. It was sad with out my family there but it was nice to be surrounded by extnd family.

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

....no FOOTBALL???
We (by this I will most always mean CB and I, at least until school starts) decided to take half days on fridays, which is a great life choice. We left from work to Ptown, back home. We are pretty much pro bay area rapid transportation riders. sweet deal. We arrived at our old house with the new people in it and spent the afternoon and night with them. The house is crazy and so many people came by, I'd like to say, due to our arrival. In the morning time, I sorely miscalculated how much time it took to walk down to the cafe I was meeting my friend at. She was waiting for a good half hour. I saw her that day and two other friends. One of which I was with when I bought my favourite new pair of overall shorts! My new uniform. This is a short blog but I wanted to let all who reads this that I am alive and kicking.
Today is a nice day. I went to the farmers market and at last learned the name of my infamous bread man. Two more weekends here and that is it.
and that is all.

the 9-5

24 hours. That's how long it has been since my family took off on a plane. CB and I were not on that flight. Here is the part where I say "ever since I was born, my family has meant the world to me." False. I had to run off to college for a year, come back, have my heart broken all before I realized that family IS my world. Family BECAME my world. Family truly was all I had. Now they are gone and I have to begin my new life with out them to come "home" (which is an extremely fluid concept for me right now). I praise God for the ingenuity He has given man in inventing Skype. It has changed my life, that's for sure. By this I mean I only wailed half as loud (this majorly embarrassed my dear little sis)at the airport as I would have had we not lived in a world with Skype. After my four favorite people in the entire universe disappeared through the airport security, I hopped in the car with CB and prayed that her tears would just pour out, and not brim  in her eyes, thus obstructing the view of the crazy roads we have to drive to get to our August home. Prayers answered. We arrived at our August residence all in one piece, around....oh shucks, I have NO IDEA.

We awoke the next morning [too] bright and [too] early to drive to work. For all of you out there wondering, the work will be exceptionally tedious. For all of you out there wondering, I am going to adore working in that office. The people all seem very lovely and they will all definitely make the 8 hour day go faster. For all of you out there wondering, I work 7:30-3:30, not 9-5. For all of you out there wondering, I do prefer that. Makes me very sleepy in the night time.

As I am falling asleep at the keys, my eyes are shutting but mind is still a whirl. Thinking about how I will miss my family so much over the next however-long-it-is-until-I-get-to-see-thier-darling-faces, even though I know I should try to avoid this very thought and just let the next Skype call excite me. I'm thinking about how my alarm rings too early. BILLY (for you froggy)! I am thinking about how it's only a matter of months before the fat girl inside of me starts showing up on the outside. In other words, I need help thinking of ways to get the butt moving, at least for 60 minutes a day. Just like the NFL is always promoting. The first NFL game is in 4 days and the first Packers game in in 10! At least I think and hope I am right, because I am needing my footzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.........

out with the old and with the NEW

In just two short days life without my parents and two little siblings will begin. A new chapter of life brings about a new blog. Share my journey with me. Here are my struggles and triumphs, my day to day, or week to week, or month to month happenings of my new life chapter, and my occasional blonde moment. Thus begins the chapter of life without four of the most important people in my life near me. The chapter that God is going to write. With a little faith, I can say with confidence that it is going to be a beautiful story.
