Where Have I Gone?

Well Hello everybody! It seems as though I have died, but really I've just been incredibly busy. Ha ha...things here have been pretty crazy just within the past week. But I'll just give a quick recap of the past month.

I used to have a really bad cough. I went through a stage of having a man voice. Ha ha...for real...it was pretty bad. The high amounts of phlegm I was producing sometimes made it so I couldn't breathe so one day Rosie bought some mucinex. When I took it I thought that I was going to die. I couldn't see, walk straight, and was nauseated. Shortly after taking the Mucinex I passed out on the couch, which actually happens to be my favorite place to sleep! Rosie and Mark's couch in the best. Who needs a bed when you've got a fantastic couch. Ha ha...

After being sick, or I guess during being sick I worked and went to school as always. Actually today for the first time I saw Holly Kennedy at the Tomball College Library. She does indeed work there. I can't believe I almost went two semesters without seeing her there and vice versa. Umm...work is FANTASTIC! I love working in the photo lab at Sam's Club. I've made so many great friends working there and have had so many great memories. Actually the other day I squished a HUGE mosquito and documented it. Here it is...(that really has nothing to do with anything but the mosquito is rather large)
and yes that is the bottom of my shoe. Isn't it pretty gross how seriously everything in Texas is bigger. No exaggeration there.

Spring break was not too long ago as well. The kids and I spent a lot of time together and I spent a lot of time at work as well. Rosie and Mark went on a cruise so I got to hangout with the kiddos and Kathy (Mark's mom) for an entire week. We went to the zoo together, but most of the festivities occurred during the day when I was at work. How sad eh? But here are some fun pictures from the zoo! Aidyn was actually sick the day that we went so it was just Leilani, Mia, Dan 'n' Sabs, and Kolby.
We had a lot of fun at the zoo. Leilani actually got pooped on. Look at Mia's disgusted face.
We saw lots of animals. My favorites were probably the elephants. We didn't get to see any hippos and those are probably my favorite animals to look at. They are so large and in charge.
I just thought that this picture of Miss Mia was precious, so I am posting it 'cause I haven't been on here for quite some time and I think I owe it to y'all to put up lots of pictures. Mia is getting so tall and her piano skills are just taking off. She's just so dang cute!They also went to the Rodeo and the Children's Museum. The two little ones and I went to the Children's Museum at the beginning of the month. Here are some pictures from then. We spent most of our time in the motion commotion section of the museum. We were having so much fun and Ai and Mia crack me up.
My birthday was also this weekend! I am now 20 years old. No longer a teenager. Ha ha...my friends took me out the night before and we went go carting, extreme bowling and to breakfast. It was so much fun. My friends crack me up. They are such good people. Since most of you have no idea who they are, let me show you! Umm...I just got kinda sick of uploading pictures so here are just some of them...ha ha...below is Kendrick and Michael. They are brothers and so different. They both go to Pravie View University.
This is my favorite friend Mercedes and I! She's the best! We had a class for a whole semester together and didn't have a clue who each other was until the last week before finals. Ha ha...we "studied" one night and realized that we have ultra similar lives but she grew up in New York and I grew up in Utah and somehow we both ended up in Texas living with our older sisters and going to Tomball College. Ha ha...it's crazy how the Lord blesses you with amazing people in your life no matter where you are. B has been such a blessing to me. Below is James and the Giant peach as Rosie likes to call him, but moreso he's James the manorexic. Not really, but he's so little. James is the sweetest person. He's Mercedes boyfriend and is hilarious! You can never get enough of this kid.Next is Ravi Patel. Just like in the Life of Pi. Actually I don't if the name Ravi ever shows up in it but the main character's name is Pi Patel. Ravi and I had an english class together and he had hot hair so I decided to be his friend. Ha ha...actually I just helped him with his papers and what not and we just started hanging out. He's such a punk/racecar driver. You should see him race go carts. Also I got into a car accident on the morning of my birthday. I was hit by a drunk driver who ran a red light. Fortunately I am okay and doing pretty well. :D My birthday was super eventful to say the least! It was a fantastic day despite the accident. I ate steak and shrimp and got to spend time with the people that I love and that's what really is important. Also my friend Chris gave me a pinata because I've never had one before! Ha ha...he figured since he got hone for his 20th birthday (which was exactly a week before mine...Happy Birthday Chris with Curls!) that I should be able to have one too. I was so happy to receive such a fantastic birthday gift!Here is a battle scar. My hip, it's looking tons better than it did before.
And of course I have to post a picture of Eddie. I talked to the adjuster and he said that my car is basically a total loss. How sad because this is my favorite car! I've had some great adventures and fond memories with Eddie. It's so sad to see him totalled.
Umm...this is getting to be so long, so I am going to end it now. But i hope y'all are doing well! Sorry for being a blogging slacker! LOVE YOU!
