Volume Twent-Four

Hey everyone! So once more I stopped posting and I feel horrible about that. Here I am now though!
So I finally finished another year of horrible school and am now enjoying some down time and spending as much time as I can with my friends and family and finding different way to make money. I'm currently making handmade teddy bears and having my mom help sell them at her job and I continue to bake and sell tasty treats too.
My mom and I are back on the hunt for a house and once again the stress is setting in. I never remembered house hunting being so hard and stressful but then again I was a kid and never paid much attention to things like that so. . . go figure right? But I'm staying positive and keeping my head up because I know we're going to find a good place and than I'll FINALLY have my OWN ROOM! I've missed it so!
For those of you romantics wondering about my love life. . . Enzo and I are still together and happy. So when I last updated you all he was doing his EMT training (extremely stressful ordeal for both of us!) but now he's done with the training and was able to take the firefighter test which was his goal. he passed both the physical and written exams with flying colors and really impressed the chief of the fire department! he started working on the 18th of this month and apparently when you join a station, the first year is incredibly hard. the other firefighters at the station are supposed to give you a hard time, the same way fraternity brothers treat their pledges, and if you make it past the first year its smooth sailing. So as of right now, he likes it but he is getting a had time from the other boys. of course though BOYS will be BOYS!
He and I have been trying to make as much time as possible to talk and Skype ad actually we just ended a 2-hour Skype date and I have no idea why but when we Skype. . . he brings out my inner dork. . . which is somehow more of a dork than the "normal" me. Bu than he started falling asleep and I let him go because he has to train tomorrow because his martial arts instructor chose him to do a cage fight in August!
Well anyway that's about all for now. When we get the house, I'll get internet and will be able to blog more because I despise blogging on my phone. I'll try harder though! XOXO

Volume Twenty-Three

Hello cuties of the cyber world!
So I've gone back to my old was of being horrible at posting and honestly I have no excuse so I'm sorry.
To catch you up with everything that's happened since January. . . I have started my new school and I'm still working on breaking out more. I have a good group of friends but in order for me to achieve my goal I still need to put myself out there more but I'm on a good tack so far. I've narrowed my college choices to 3 and hopefully all goes well and I can attend one and start a great career. All though I'm excited for my senior year to arrive and fly by, I'm really nervous about graduating. It seems like suddenly the word ADULT has a whole new meaning and it's intense and nerve racking. I' excited to start a new chapter and begin my life and grow independent I'm still scared. I'll be away from my family and have new responsibilities all of a sudden and the stakes are high. I have one more FULL year here and then I'm off to a new state, with new people, and new places. I'll only have one familiar face with me and I'm glad I have her (Nickki). We're both super excited but scared. For everyone who isn't scared about life after graduation. . . NEWS FLASH: you should be!
We're going to be adults which means being in charge of our lives and having to pay bills, stay motivated on our own to achieve whatever goals we set for ourselves, we have to survive without our parents and thou that can seem easy, the more you think about it and the closer you get to it. . .  the scarier the thought becomes. I'm really grateful to have my family support my choice to leave the state and I know they'll be behind me 100% and that when I need them they'll be there for me. It makes the decision easier. I now my family will be with me the second I need them. I may sound like  kid but I love my mommy and I'm really happy that she's letting me venture and grow up like this. I owe her so much and I'll miss her so much I already know it. I'll probably constantly be Skyping with her to make it easier on the both of us.
Enzo and I are also still together and doing great. He's feeling the pressure of EMT school but he enjoys it and I support him fully. Unfortunately he wont be able to take the firefighters test until next year which pushes our plan a year. in other words we have to wait an extra year to be together in Oregon but if all goes well and I make enough money I'll be able to go to South Carolina after I graduate and go see him for a little while.
Nickki is with David and after spending more time with him, I've grown to like him. He' funny and makes her smile which it what rely matters. Finding someone that can make you smile, even if they drive you absolutely bonkers sometimes. They're in love and they work together. Hopefully he can join us in Oregon and they can stay together.
Well that what you've "missed" summarized. I've been doing school stuff and going to dances and being a teen trying to enjoy the time I have left in California, that somehow reminded me that I really need to drive more so that on my 18th birthday I can just get my license and not have to pay those crazy fees!!!
I hope everyone has a great day ad I'll try and get better at blogging more (sorry again). Now I gotta get back to work and finish reading this book for my lit class. SMILE!!! XOXO

Volume twenty two

Hello beauties :)
I hope everyone had a great start to the New Year and had a nice countdown. Let me know what you resolutions ate for the new year in a comment :)
Lately I've been busy and for a while I was having a lot of problems with my phone but I've gotten all of that resolved and I have a new iPhone 4S and its great really love it.
In other news Enzo has been super busy with his EMT classes lately but we've been doing great and are happy to ring in the new year as a happy loving couple together :) it was a great year for us and were both excited to see what 2013 will bring for us as individuals and as a couple.
I spent New Years celebrating with Nickki and Sarah and a few other friends and it was super fun to see them and bring in the year with smiles and laughter and pizza with bacon!!!
I'm not too sure what my resolution this year is but I know one thing is for sure: I will not be as shy this year. Switching schools and starting over will be hard but I want to make my senior year great and know a lot of people and that won't be possible if I stay cripplingly shy.
One thing that I plan on doing for this year is to write a sentence everyday about what happened or how I felt or anything and put it in a jar. Then New Years of next year I can look back and see how my year went and if I accomplished my resolution or not. It'll be a great year so don't forget to keep checking back with me, spread word bout this blog and follow me :) and dont forget to SMILE xoxo hugs and kisses
