my year

So I've decided I want to make this my year...I really believe I'm in charge of my own happiness so I'm going to make the best of it. Starting off....

1. I got Autopia trainer!! So so excited for this and I start shadowing on the 18th and cannot wait. It's starting so fast but it will be amazing :)

2. Tax return! Extra money for paying off some bills and also saving so Chris and I can do a bay area trip for Laura's wedding. Super excited for the wedding, I'm so happy for Laura.

3. I got a smart phone! I know I'm way behind on the technology but I'm really happy that I finally have something not ghetto lol. I'm actually doing my updating on here right now!
And it's super cool looking too and I get to be a geek about it. I love it so much

4. I'm moving out of Eileen's....I've had enough of the abuse and ready to move on. Christine is letting me live with her for a little while until...

5. Leslie is moving down!! I'm super excited for that as well it will be nice having an old friend around and someone to live with :) and I really think it will help feeling homesick. I'm happy to be a part of a new chapter in her life as well.

6. Another chapter that I will be starting this year is going back to school again. Yikes! I'm really scared at the thought of going back but I chickened out last year and after a lot of thought about how I don't really have anything to show for how far I've come in my life already
I really want to not feel ashamed when people ask if I'm going to school or ask if I have a degree. Who knows I just finally find something I can see myself doing as a career and can continue my education further.

7. I'm going to be 26 this year....le sigh... but I really couldn't be happier with how my life is going. I'm the brokest I've ever been and don't have a car but I'm finally doing things that make me happy and not sacrificing my happiness for other people. It feels really good. Plus I'm very much in love and that makes everything better.

I just hope that the year brings more good fortune to me or that I make the best of what i'm given cuz really at that point you don't have any other choice.

Other things I have to look forward to this year

*Star tours opening - even if I'm not a part of opening crew I'm happy just to be a part of it opening again. I guess my interview will be next friday. I'm a little nervous.
*My baby sister is graduating 8th grade! I asked my parents to see if they can fly me up for the grad since it will just starting the summer and hard to get away from work for a full weekend.I can't believe she's going into high school already :(
*Chris and I will be seeing each other for a year this month...crazy! We didn't officially get together till 6 months later but we are still celebrating and going out to eat at the blue bayou :)
*Baseball games, plays, musicals and whatever else we feel like throwing in the,mix this year again....I'm hoping Vegas in August for my birthday again


Cheers <3

AH-mazing.... side tracked

Just had to throw it out there that my boyfriend is amazing :) Just one of the days why.

Got my Christmas presents early and I was instructed to take the 19th off to have a day of surprises. I worked late the night before then also we decided to go over to a friend's house to hang out for a while. We ended up staying out a little too late and talking in the car even longer. That tends to happen often. I was supposed to be up and about at 9am so I could do Eileen work then be ready to be picked up by 11am. Needless to say I ended up sleeping in. Ugh, dumb. So I pissed off Eileen and skipped her work and got ready. Chris was on a mission to find a big umbrella and gave me extra time and picked me up at 1130. I knew about this show in advance.... he dropped big hints that we were going to see Peter Pan 360  I was super excited because his sisters took him for his birthday and he said it was really good

I figured it would be at night but he said he moved up the showtime but didn't say why. It started at 12 and we got there just in time. It was a really neat experience and the story seemed to me to be a mix of peter pan the cartoon and hook, which was cool :)  So next we had some time to kill so we went back to Chris' house and popped in the Simpsons season 2. We started from the beginning and are going through all the seasons that I have. Chris hasn't done it before and it's one of my favorite things to do so I'm all about it.

After that he said we were going to dinner and was pretend claiming that I ruined the surprise and that after dinner we were going to go bowling and it wasn't all that special and blah blah blah. He did say it was at the Irvine Spectrum which is a really pretty outdoor mall but since it was raining I wasn't going to be into walking around and checking it out. But I'd like to eventually.

I was trying to figure out where we would go to dinner.... We passed up pf changs, cheesecake factory, ruby's... but I had no idea what restaurants were even at that mall and I was hoping it was going to be soon because I didn't want to be out in the rain anymore and we kept getting stuck behind these dumb smokers. We came up to a pathway and I looked to the right and saw:

ADAM CAROLLA

SOLD OUT

Then remembered that he was supposed to be there and was like awww.... Adam... it's sold out. Oh well. But Chris was pushing me toward the comedy club and I wasn't sure why. I figured it wouldn't hurt to go look anyways. And Chris proceeded to say good thing I already got tickets. I stopped in my tracks and couldn't believe it! I kept saying no... no... you didn't... I almost cried it was so cool! I was trying to contain my excitement... but it wasn't really working. Before we got out of the car he grabbed a present out of the trunk and said we needed it and to throw me off said it may or may not be edible. Dinner was with the show and I seriously couldn't stop smiling. We got seated in some pretty decent seats off to the right of the stage but up against the half wall so no one was in front of us. The present was his new book so we could try and get it signed after the show

 

I was still all jumpy and excited and couldn't wait for the show to start! We ordered food and drinks and the tables were set up so if didn't have 4 people you were sharing a table with another couple. That was a little awkward but I didn't care. I had to stop myself from correcting the woman when she was asking if Adam Carolla was jewish. Once the show started I was sitting on the edge of my seat laughing and enjoying every second of it. I wish me and Adam could be friends in real life haha. It seemed to just fly by and they announced that if you would like to meet Adam after the show that he would be in the lobby! Yes! We waited in a short line and he signed my book and we took some pics. The pictures are on Chris' camera. None of us are looking all at the same time so his camera dude is fired but he asked who to make out the book to and made sure he spelled my name correctly. I was so nervous, as always if I meet someone that I love so much, I didn't say much and wish I would have gave him a big hug but didn't think of that until way after we were walking back through the mall. I kept thanking Chris and had a little skip in my step. I was so so happy.

 

 I needed to pee and wouldn't be able to wait till we got back to Chris' place so we stopped inside Cheesecake Factory and I treated us to Cheesecake for dessert. Chris got Banana Cream as always and I got Dulce De Leche. We went back to his place and 2 of his sisters work at the movie theater at the mall next to his house and they got us in to see the Black Swan but we had to wait till 11pm. 

And OMG... amazing! The movie was so beautifully done... so intense...ah..! We were all crying by the end. So it was a great end to a awesome day.

I'm so lucky to have him in my life <3 I haven't been this happy in years. Its so nice to wake up smiling again.
