New Roomate...

This week sometime my boyfriend and I are supposed to have our new roomate move in with us. My boyfriend doesnt know her and has never met her, but I met her through work. I am real excited to have another person living in the big ol' house with us, because when I am home alone I get really lonely. Also she is going to help with the cost of living. I am also a little nervous becuause I dont really know that much about her. I hope everything works out!

Stressed OUT!

As my first semester at Western is slowly coming to an end, I am starting to feel the pressure. It seems like everything, in every class is starting to come all at once. It is starting to get a little overwhelming. Between working all the time and trying to study for all my classes is getting harder each week. With my work load getting larger, I am not getting as much sleep as I need. Working till 11 at night then doing homework until midnight, then getting up at five when my boyfriend leaves for work to do more homework. Five hours of sleep a night is by far not enough for me. I am starting to find my self a little less attentive during my morning classes, which I'm afraid will impact my grade. But there is only four more weeks left and I am going to get through it one way or another. I mean there is always time over Christmas to sleep.

New ROOM!!

This weekend was a very busy one for me. On saturday my mom and I went to La Crosse and picked out my paint colors for my room. We also bought the new bedding. On sunday we broke down and started painting. It was fun, and I am really excited to see what its going to look like when its all finished. We painted one wall dark chocolate brown and the other wall white. Then we are going to paint all the trim the dark chocolate also. I am real excited to get my room done, so that I can get my bed in there and start getting my new house set up the way I want it.

New puppy

I experienced the hardest thing i have experienced this week. I recieved a call thursday afternoon from my uncle. I was at work so i didnt answer but i listened to the voicemail, and at that moment my heart stopped. My puppy Duke of 7 months was ran over and killed. Duke was my bestfriend, he went everywhere with me! So for the past few days i have been having to adjust to not having my Dukee around. So after i sat at home by myself Friday i came to the conclusion that i couldnt take it anymore and i needed a new puppy. So, on Saturday, my mom my boyfriend and i ventured out to get us a new puppy. We went up to an amish farm in cashton. My boyfriend got out of the car and asked if they had any puppies left and he said yes one male. I was really excited because we wanted a male, and i would have been heart broken if they didnt have any puppies left! We walked over the the kennel that they kept the dogs in, and as soon as i saw him my heart melted and I new he was mine! We have been having a good weekend getting used to the new puppy, but its a big adjustment for me and my whole family not have duke around. Now we have Cope!

Tomorrow is the day!

Well, tomorrow is the day that I start packing up all my things and start moving out of my moms house. I am a little nervous because, I will be on my own. My mom wont be there to make supper for me, or buy me groceries. I am going to have to do it all on my own. I am also excited because, it will be just me and my boyfriend, and it will be like our house. I am going to miss seeing my mom everyday just because we are so close, even though I am moving into the house 300 feet away from my moms, and my mom is my landlord. I am going to be broke at first until I get used to managing my money differently, but I think everything is going to work out.

Life in a small town!

Living in the country, of a town of 5oo people, dont leave much to do. On a normal weekend I either work, or just hang out at with my boyfriend at his home. This past weekend was my boyfriends 21 birthday! So we actually broke out of the house and went out with his family. We drove down to the small town of Genoa, Wisconsin and met up with some of his family friends down there. We had such a fun time. I love getting out of the house every once in a while, but I dont have much time for a life. Between going to school and working full time, I sometimes neglect doing something for myself. To me school, and making a living is more important to me than going out every weekend.

Moving?

By the end of this year I am going to change a lot of things in my life. I was planning on moving in with my boyfriend at the end of this school year, but instead I will most likely be moved in by Christmas. His roomates just got married and are looking for a place of their own. I dont know if I am ready to move out just yet, but the house that I will be moving into is just next to my moms so it isnt a big adjustment. On the other hand I think I am ready to move in with my boyfriend. We have been dating four years, and I cant wait to decorate and make it my OWN house.
