New Beginnings...

Wow it sure has been a while...
Lets just say things have not turned out the way I thought they were going to this summer. This could possibly have been the worst summer ever actually. However it's been a blessing at the same time. I now have a new job at the Lion House Bakery that I absolutely love! I love the people that I work with but I sure hate the hours. I wake up at 3:30 in the morning so that I can be to work at 4. Yes you read correct. That's 4 am.  The other part I hate about this job is that I have to wear an ugly hair net. Yuck!
I know that I'm doing a good job and that my manager likes me when she yells at everyone else but me :) she gets after everyone and kinda yells at them but not me. Even though I've been there 2 months she still says that I'm learning and it's OK for me to make mistakes.
As for the boys in my life they're non existent. I hate boys right now so I am taking a fast from them. Who knows when I'll start dating again. But right now I've had enough of the junk they bring so I'm done for a while. It's time for some me time.
I guess you can say I'm working on finding myself and figuring out what I want. Man that sounds so cheesy... anyways you might ask how I'm doing so? Well let me show you.
For one thing I am not blonde anymore. Check it out :)

I think I look dang hott!!! I'm not even going to be modest about it :) I have two blonde streaks and the rest of it is brown.
I am now in the process of enrolling in school at SLCC. So far I love it there and I haven't even started classes yet! Lets just say so far I love the prices. What I'm paying for tuition, books, uniform, fees, basically everything! Is the same price as what I paid last year for just books. It's amazing how cheep this is ending up being :)
Also what is a new beginning without a new pair of shoes?!

Or two pairs...

I couldn't help it.. they were on sale... haha :)
Just so you all know, I get a lot of concerned "how are you's?" and "are you going to be ok's?" I will be fine. I'm getting everything in order and doing some crazy things on the way but everything will be ok :)

Cruise!!! Last two days! (Part 7)

  Here we are full from all the treats! They had a chocolate fest. The food was actually kind of gross... hence why we didn't feel too well afterwards. We did get the yummy decorations on top. Pays to be cute. The waiters just handed them to us :)

 Here we are in Victoria! This was probably my favorite stop. It was so pretty there. We ended up getting there a little late. Everything closed at 9 and we got there at 8. Sadly we only had a hour to shop, prolly a good thing for me seeing how that's what I did most of the trip and am now broke :)

 This one speaks for itself.

 This was my favorite area on the boat :) Sparkliest room on the boat

 On our way to the hotel to our cars we got to ride in a Limo. Oh yes a limo! It was awesome!!!

Cruise!!! Ketchikan! (Part 6)

 Every evening they would put a towel animal on our bed. Here is a butterfly and snail.

 Here is Ketchikan! Again there were whales everywhere! Me and Jenica woke up early to do some shopping before our excursion!

 I really wanted to go on this duck tour. Just because of the look of this... bus? And the fact that it quacked everywhere you went :)

 Here we are on our way to the ZIP LINE! Oh ya! It was so much fun!

(Dan, Sam, Jenica, Me, and Trent)

 We got to ride this cool bus... truck... up to the top where the zip lines started. It felt like we were riding on the ride Indiana Jones at Disneyland.

We got to go on 7 zip lines. The longest one was about 700 ft. Then two of them were around 500 to 600 ft. The others were only around 70 to 100 ft. It was so awesome! We even got medals to say we completed all the zip lines.

 Here is Jacob and Becca. They were two of the workers there. Jacob is from Hawaii and Becca is from Chicago. They were really fun! There was another guy that was over my group and his name was Scott. On the longest zip line we went on he shook the the wire so that I wouldn't make it up all the way and so I had to pull myself up. I thought it was because of the wind but no he thought it would be funny to make me shake and lose control. Jerk face... haha

Cruise!!! Sitka! (Part 5)

 Yes Sitka. The place that one of my favorite movies takes place at. "The Proposal"

 Yes this movie. This would be my favorite scene. No it's not actually filmed in Sitka it just takes place there. It was filmed in like Minnesota or something.

 Everywhere we went there were fur galleries and these man panties awkwardly funny I know!

 Again funny stuff everywhere in Alaska!

Dan would just kind of wander off and disappear. We found him randomly sleeping on this rock so we decided to creep up on him and scare him.

Trent and Dan had a bro-mance. So did Trent and Sam.

Aren't they adorable!

While we wandered around we came across this old building that was being revamped. It was an old college that they were turning into an arts summer camp. 

We ended up doing a service project while we were there. We moved the beds and put them together in each of the rooms and moved these desks.

 Not very many of us were fond of the idea of having to move beds and everything we just wanted to wander around. But when the guy who was in charge jokingly said hey you guys could help move beds! Dan and Sam immediately jumped on the bandwagon and said yes. Later we were ok that they said yes because it ended up being lots of fun and they fed us too! :)

 This is where the dance classes are going to be.

 Trent was a sweetie and gave us all dandelions to treasure forever.

Even Dan got one. :)
