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.

Changing Weather

Waking up in the morning this week has been hard. The weather has been cloudy and raining, so when my alarm goes off at 6:30 it makes it hard to wake up, because its still dark. I love this time of the year, but im sick of this freezing cold weather and rain. I cant wait until the leaves start changing and just the smell of fall. This year has been a wierd year. Summer was cool, and so far the fall has been almost cold! I just wish we could have "normal" seasons.

Fitting everything in

As I was laying in bed the other day, I started thinking that life really is not easy. I may have thought that it was easy because I relied on my mom for everything, but now im mostly on my own. I still live at home but I am working full time, going to school full time and paying all my bills. I am tired what seems like all the time, but a girl has to do what a girl has to do right? Sometimes I think that I push myself to much, but then I stop and think about being the first one in my family to go on to school, and thats all worth it. Life is what you make of it, and working is in my blood i swear. I have been working since I was fifteen! I couldnt imagine not having a job. Life is what you make it and I think that my life is just the way it should be!

College Life

My college career is finally undergo! I gave my frist speech and I took my first test as a college student. I realized that life isnt as easy as it was for me in high school. I studied for my test the same way I always did for my tests in high school, but the outcome wasnt as well I wanted. I am going to have to adjust and learn new study habits that corrispond with college tests! Again I am encountering new aspects in my life and I have to adjust to all the new things of a college student compared to high school.
