Can we call this improvement?

I stopped in on this thing twice in under a month! I believe that calls for a mini-celebration, no?

Well, I'm 22 now. Nothing new other than that. Been hanging out a bunch, having a good time with friends. Enjoying the single life =) The picture below is basically what I've been up to. I live off the Delta and every weekend during the warm months there is a guaranteed party on a little island called Ski Beach. I love all those people, too<3

Life is still sitting in a weird place, but the longer it goes, the more normal it feels. I got a new job for summer and I'm trying to ease into that. Other than that, same old same old.

Hopefully in coming day's I'll have something to blog about!

It's been all too long.

I've been quite neglectful of this thing the past couple months. I just really haven't felt like blogging about my life. Mainly because I had nothing really good to say about it.


I still have amazing friends, amazing family.


I've been having a good time going out and doing things with people I enjoy. I'm just doing it solo now.


Three years and three months of relationship has been put in a little box in my closet. It can probably still be worked out, but right now, I just don't have the patience to do it. I've decided to leave the ball in his court to see where he wants it to go and if he can make it happen. We're still friends. we still hang out all the time. We're just not together anymore.


I never thought it would be hard on other people. I mean, on us obviously, but some of our friends are still having a hard time believing it.


It's an weird period in life these days. Hopefully I'll stop in here more often =)

Saints Win the Superbowl!!!!

I'm so excited I can't stand it. First superbowl in franchise history!!!!

WHO DAT!!!!!!!!!!

I hate bills

I hate bills just as much as the next person. It just seems like when you're younger, companies and the people working for companies seem to just want to work against you and frustrate you to the point where you'll pay them anything just to keep a cell phone on, insurance instated or just to keep a car in your driveway.


I've spent all afternoon on the phone with Zach's insurance company as "Mrs. DiNicola". They told him one thing and now are saying another. They want a whole ton of money we don't have and that he doesn't owe. I finally got a woman to give me a number to his agent and now she has a completely different amount he owes, much much less in fact!!


I just believe it is totally amazing how they treat 'valued customers'. I got hung up on, yelled at and talked down to by 3 different people. They offered zero help or even letting me talk to a manger. Ah!


I need to move away from California. It's just too expensive to live here. I love living here, but if everything is so impossible to pay for, count me out.

Pictures!

Here's some pictures from his birthday. They're all from diffferent parts of the day!

There weren't as many fron the party as I thought! But he had a great day & it was fun.

Whoops =)

I kind of fell out of the blogging loop for awhile. Sorry! I have no real excuse other than I've been out being 21. I've fallen into a new group of old and new friends and I've been out having a blast these past few weeks. It's weird how things work when you live in a small town. You're friends with some people, somehow you end up drifting away and then boom! There they are again.

Our holidays were great. Zach and I got a new cell phone plan together and some spiffy new phones along with it. I adore it so far. The only thing that sucks is our phones are now identical. It gets confusing when you have the same text alerts and voicemail rings. Haha =)

We also got a flat screen TV. Our old one just wouldn't kick rocks and die. It was sucking up a ton of energy and we needed one with an HD receiver built in so we could get cable channels back.

I also got to spend time with my best friend from high school. She flew home for a few days from Colorado and we had a blast going out and everything while she was here. We never get to visit very long but every minute is better than none!

Cody, Zach, me, Shelby & Lex.

Zach turned 22 last Saturday!! I managed to get him this year with a surprise party & for the first time, he had no idea. It was awesome. The past two years, his old friends couldn't really keep it a secret and would ruin it. We've got awesome friends this time around and they made his birthday amazing. Our good friend Cody helped me keep him distracted all day Saturday and took him out. He for sure helped me pull this off so he's pretty much my new best friend! The picture above was taken in the wee early morning of his birthday. I'll have to post pictures in another entry of the actual party.

In other news, I have a job interview on Friday morning. I'm really excited. If I get it, I'll post details. I don't want to get my hopes up just yet. It's a rainy day and I'm cooped up inside. Blog, I promise I won't neglect you again =)

Tis' the season.

For kids to be bratty, adults to rationalize big purchases and a lot of money flowing to only God knows where.


Zach and I went to Best Buy yesterday, of course JUST to look. Right? We ended up leaving with a 32 inch flat screen TV. I hmm'd and haa'd all the way home. My dad tends to over-react when one of his kids makes a big purchase, and demands to know where money came from and how we could afford that. He gets over it eventually, but not quickly enough for me to be thrilled about this TV sitting in the back of our truck.


We brought it home, wrapped it with newspaper and finished it up with a bow and a note that says "To: Mel & Zach From: Santa". Britney Spears is on my big gift and is holding it's own in the trunk of my car. I'll be moving it tonight.


Hey, it's from Santa. I'm in the clear.

Don't ask me why.

This may sound totally ridicules, but I have baby fever. I have the urge to just have a whole mess of kids. I'm pretty sure it has to do with my Epilepsy. My doctor said I couldn't have any 'accidents' and I have to plan for kids.


Well, now that I know that...


I guess I'm wanting kids now because I'm scared when the time comes to plan them, I'll be older than I'd like to be, or they just won't be possible anymore. I'm the girl that dreams about becoming a mommy. It's what I want in my life.


Zach is reassuring but at the same time thinks I'm crazy. Uh.. hello, I think I'm crazy.


Then he made a face and said "Go blog about it." Then he laughed at me. And my blog.


Jeeeerk.
