Zombie nightmare

last night after the gym I went home and started tearing my room apart. I'm going thru my closets over the next few days and I'm garbaging EVERYTHING. I'm not even kidding when I say I'm going to be building my life from the ground up.

I had to take a few things I was getting rid of over to Andrews house and when I got there he was watching a zombie movie-shaun of the dead. ha. So I've only ever seen 3 zombie movies in my life. 28 days later(last week with Andrew) and Dawn of the Dead like a bazillion years ago. and. this one. I don't know what it is about zombies that give me nightmares but they just do. No other scary movies really make me freak out as much.

Did I mention that Andrew lives in a bachelor suite above a shop in the industrial area? Ha. I made him walk me to my jeep the first time we watched a scary movie there(however, am proud to say that I walked myself to my jeep last night) So watching anything is a little scary at his house. Especially cause there is a meat packing plant super close*uhhh pretty sure that's how urban legends are started *shutter*

Anyways last night I had a nightmare that Saren, Trish and Andrew were zombies and they were trying to make everyone they loved turn into zombies too so that the real people wouldn't kill the zombies. So I was getting chased around the hospital that I work at by my 3 friends who are zombies. There was no where I could hide cause Andrew would control the lights(he's an electrician and so he knows how to do that) Trish works at the hospital with me and so she knows all the hiding places, and Saren was just running around so much trying to kill me so I would be a zombie like her. They wanted to start a zombie world. And wanted all their friends and families to just be zombies with them.

Ugh. I woke up and was slightly scared of Andrew, Saren and Trish. I never understood how Edward(yes this is a twilight reference) wouldn't change Bella into a Vampire like him until last night. Unfortunately my friends didn't love me enough to save me from the eternity of torment like he did. Now I get it.

I'm on Edwards side. I don't want to be a Vampire, a Zombie, or any other sort of creepy thing.

What kind of weird dreams have you had lately?

Ok... I can't keep a SECRET

... I am horrible at keeping secrets...<---- unless they're about other people. Then. I take them to the grave.

Cause. That's what I'd hope someone else would do for ME when I tell them secrets.

So, I know my last post was slightly cryptic but I thought I'd share the good news now since it's moving at a very FAST rate.

I'm ENGAGED......

*haha* I bet you all were super excited for a second.

Sorry. I am not engaged. However, I said the next time I MOVED I would move into the place my husband and I would live. And. So most would assume I'm engaged.

But. This is not the case. I am just REALLY unhappy where I am, and have been for sometime. It's due to quite a few different reasons. But honestly I'm just ready for a change of pace. I'm ready to move on and live with friends, people that I hang out with and have things in common with. I was planning on moving this time last year but then wrecked my knee and couldn't so most of my stuff is still packed from the last time I went to move out. I really don't have to do that much. Pack up my room, and my odds/ends and leave. I originally planned on moving out Aug 1st(hence the 6 week secret business) But, the stars have alligned and I will be house sitting for the next 6 weeks for a friend of mine who is going to Tanzinia for the summer. Then in the fall I've got a few different options. Move into a brand new house, or move in with a couple girls that are already established.

I feel like a HUGE weight has lifted off my shoulders. I'm alot more happy. And. I'm really excited for this change. I'm going to still be in my ward boundaries so I won't have to leave wards. I seriously love my bishop and everyone in my ward. I'd be sad if I had to leave them. But I don't *YAY*

I took an extra long weekend this weekend. Wednesday to Tuesday(almost a whole week) let's pray it's nice out so I can lay out on my NEW DECK after I've moved. YAY!!! I'm going to hopefully have all my totes, and boxes moved Thursday before Andrew gets off work then him and a couple other guys are going to come help me move my bed, and dressers. I'm so grateful for good friends(guys) who are willing to help me out. I seriously have the best friends a girl could ask for.

My fave quote(since I'm moving twice in the span of 6-8 weeks) I put out a status update on fb to see who would help me move, and told them they only had to help one of the two times(cause no one likes to be taken advantage of) but Andrew being the adorable sweet guy that he is said "I'd move you six time if you needed it"

Let's hope I don't need to move 6 times.

More to update on that later on.

xo.

P.S I've recently purged like 200 friends on fb. But if any of you blogging buddies wanna be friend with me. Feel free to add me. (I only say that cause secretly I like fb stalking people) and I need ideas on how to decorate my new house... EEEEEKS

Oh life....

Life is stressful sometimes.

Okay. For me a lot of times. I'm usually pretty good at taking an insurmountable task and breaking it down into bite sized morsels. Let's see if I can keep it up.

This has been a rough year. I've been through the ringer and back. Would I change it for anything in the world? Nope! I've learned so much about myself as a person, and the things I am capable of. I wasn't living(and still am not) up to my full potential. This summer is going to be a summer of change. A change of pace in my life. I haven't been happy with a couple of my current arrangements. I was comfortable. I like being comfortable. So I stayed unhappy and comfortable. But, last night I did something SO unlike me. It was so uncomfortable. But I am SO happy.

If you received a text from me at midnight last night you'll probably know what is up. If not. It's a secret for now. I was nervous if I didn't blog about it that I would take back my decision and no one would be the wiser. So. In about 6 weeks. I'll blog again(hopefully before that) and I'll spill the beans.

Until then please just wish me good luck.

Bachelorette....

Oh Ashley...

I really don't like you. I'm not really sure how much I can talk about last nights episode because 1. I didn't actually watch it. and 2. I wasn't even EXCITED to watch it because Bentley is gone and can't torture you anymore.

BUT....

BENTLEY'S COMING BACK....
(so I will start watching again next week)

Is it bad that I kind of loved watching him play cat and mouse with her? Call me cold hearted if you will(others have) but she is so dumb. I watched some highlights from last nights show. As if she was on all those other dates and in her interview only cared about Bentley.

She deserves to get burned. I sure hope she feels like an idiot watching this right now. Ha. Wouldn't it be funny is Bentley actually made it to the final two and she choose the other one...then got to watch all this unfold. HA.

While she was pining over Bentley last night I was having a milkshake and a chat with Andrew. Hands down a way better way to spend my evening. Thanks for the milkshake Andrew ;)

What are your thoughts on the Bachelorette?

I asked my Manager if she would give me a leave of absence to go on that show. Her response was super funny. She said no, because she has too much respect for me to let me go.

Holy Cow....

It's the MIDDLE of JUNE.....

That means it's the MIDDLE of 2011.

WHERE did the time go? I feel like it was just January. I feel like I just had my knee surgery. I feel like I had big plans for 2011 and I haven't reached any of them, and am no where near close to being where I want to be.

Now it's almost summer. <--- sure doesn't really feel like summer yet. But I'm hopeful. *Please Sun gods. You tortured me last summer...be nice to me.

You know what? I feel like all I've been doing lately is talking. I'm all talked out. You know how you have the SAME conversation over and over again with the same person and you get no where? Well. That's me right now. And. I'm sick of talking. I just want some peace and quiet.

I'm a little disappointed in myself right now. I had all of these goals for this year and I haven't even come close to reaching any of them. So for the next 6 months I have to work my tail off to get to where I want to be by the end of December.

I've had such a good last month...things have fallen into place. I've met a few people that I've needed to meet. I've stayed out way too late, gotten up way to early and laughed so hard. I wouldn't change anything in the last month. However, I need to buckle down and focus on the goals I have in mind. I am a very driven person...but at the same time I am also a very easily pursuaded person, so it's really easy for me to lose focus. ;)

I'm an all or nothing kind of gal. So. For the next few weeks/months. I'm going to be selfish. I have a feeling I won't really be able to be selfish for too much longer.

Things I wish I knew then....

I've been reflecting alot the last little bit about things I wish I knew back in the day...and advice I wish I would wish someone would have told me.

- Don't hurry to grow up....you're grown up for the rest of your life.
- Highschool REALLY isn't that big of a deal. Neither is the drama.
- My parents didn't deserve all the hassle I gave them.
- The nice guys(girls) do always finish last-but when you finish it's worth the wait.
- Always pay your tithing.
- Your metabolism only goes downhill after highschool...watch what you eat.
- There is NO way you'll be able to be AS active as you were in highschool while going to college and working and dating. It always get's put on the back burner.
- Your parents aren't actually as old as you think they are.
- Your parents are pretty smart.
- Your parents only want whats best for you

*notice how all the things I've learned are about my parents.*

- Relying on the Lord is tough. But SO worth it.
- Never walk outside alone at night in a sketchy neighbourhood(I grew up in Taber-I was very innocent)
- Always check your gas gauges. It will save you a phone call to AAA, or a friend
- Don't take your parents for granted.

*speaking of parents. I had a dream my dad died last night. I'm still really sick about it.

- Highschool is the slowest 4 years of your life.
- Always wear clean underwear--you never know when you'll be taking a trip to the ER(I've had two impromptu visits in the last few years and am ever grateful for this principle)
- Just because she's pretty and doesn't talk-doesn't mean she's stuck up. She's probably shy.
- It is easier to live on a budget when it is a CASH only budget. Take cash out on the days you get paid, once your cash is gone- your game is over! I'm starting this monday*more blog posts to follow*

What are some valuable lessons you've learned that you wish you would have learned before?

Mid Singles Conference

So since I am not good at this whole blogging thing and I can't link back to my mid singles post last year I won't. But just know it was a doozy. And. I am surprised I even went this year.

However. I only went because of the boy from last year.
He came from Regina. I haven't seen him since last summer- I've talked to him lots, but I haven't seen him.

It was sooo fun to catch up with him. I met alot of really interesting people. However the men were more well behaved than last year. Some creeps. But for the most part. Much more behaved I only had 1 or 2 incidences where I wanted to cry instead of last years 29. ha.

Friday night was speed dating. I had fun at the beginning but by the end of it I was making up the most OUT OF THE WORLD stories because I was bored. There was a 2-1 ratio and so the girls had to pair up while the guys came to us. So I was with my friend Catherine. She kept telling all of the guys I wanted to be married by August. Some liked that idea and wanted to help me out with that, others thought I was a creep. I became THAT girl. The girl that all the guys either flocked to(cause they wanted to be married) or the one that all the guys hid from because they don't want to get married.

Saturday there were a few workshops and then in the afternoon I ended up going on a date with Matt. We went out to cross iron mills mall and did some shopping, and made a scavenger hunt with another couple(*I had to trick the girl into going out with the guy) Sorry Kim. But it was fun. One of the items on the list was to take a picture of the two of you engagement ring shopping. So the fact that Matt and I went ring shopping coupled with the fact that the night before Catherine was telling everyone I wanted to get married was pretty funny. It got around fast that we went ring shopping. First date ring shopping.

Only at a mid singles conference. ha.

However, it wasn't our first date.

The lady at the store wrote down all of the rings that I liked and gave it to Matt for safe keeping. Looks like only time will tell if there will be an August weddding in my future.

Maybe the baby kits I got weren't far off.

JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKES. Mom, don't freak out. I'm not getting married OR having a baby.

How was your weekend? Tell me something great!

AQUARIUS

You're happy! Better yet - you're getting happier! That's why this month you feel so playful, frisky and prankish. Something in your life is rejuvenating your world. Obviously, love affairs, romance and fun flirtations will lift your spirits, but sports and playful times with children will also delight.

....I came into work this morning to find this little gem in my email.

I am happy. HAPPY!

Life is rejuvenating.

I've had so many tender moments lately. I've noticed that I've been smiling alot more lately. :)

You know what else makes me happy? See my blog follower count go up. And. Randoms(people I don't ACTUALLY know) commenting on my blog. Welcome. Thank you for commenting and please keep commenting. I will return the love so we won't be randoms for long.

Last night I stayed up a little(lot) past my bed time. About 5 hours past my bed time. Yes. Ladies and Gents. I was up til 3am. I wake up at 6. *did you do the math?* 3 hours. 3 hours of sleep is not NEARLY enough for this little lady. I may or may not have a diet coke already. I may or may not have a couple more before the end of the morning. I've stayed up way too late...for way too many days in a row lately. However. I wouldn't have it any other way.I don't stay up late talking to just anyone. He is by far one of my most favorite people to talk to. I just loke(like/love) him.

There's this girl. Who is hanging out with boy(from 3am convo's) roomate. So her and I have gotten to know each other a little bit over the last week(ish). I'm pretty sure I was suppose to meet her for a reason. I think we're going to become fantastic friends. And. If nothing else there will be another girl to come on our friday night adventures--stay tuned.

What made you smile/made you happy today?

*Today. Waking up to a text at 6 am after 3 hours of sleeping knowing Boy was already awake and hated it too. Also, knowing that staying up that late was worth it.

Ahhh.. I just am so so so so so so so happy-and I don't even know why!

Imma Champ...

TrainerBoy calls me a rockstar. So I'm pretty much the gym version of Justin Beiber-except. I have nicer hair than he does. Judge if you will. Call me cocky if you must. But JBeibs has nothing on me in that dept.

Today I had my 3mos follow up with my Surgeon. He called me a Champ. So that means I'm pretty much Michael Jordan of the Surgical world. However, I got rated a 3/9 on the balance scale and he said I needed to work on that. BUT, in my defense I never had very good balance to begin with. So I think it's all relevant.

I'm not going to lie. I was a little nervous. Okay, that IS a lie. I was VERY nervous. I don't have full extension yet(so I kind of limp--no so much anymore). I'm doing a few things I probably shouldn't be doing yet AND I 'played' basketball Monday night. By played. I mean I shot around. It felt good, but I was definately feeling it a little bit. Nothing a little ice and Ibprofen didn't fix.

I'm so happy right now. There are so many reasons for my happiness.

What makes you happy?

The other night I got asked the top 3 things that make me happy.

1.Laughing so hard my tummy hurts/or I start to cry.
2.A really good hug, from a really good person*guy* ;)
3.Getting winked at. I get butterflies everytime I'm winked at.

I'm happy today because:

-I got to sleep in until 7:30 this morning
-It's not raining anymore
-I can squat 145lbs
-I had do 50 push ups on a bosu ball
-I can run(ish)
-I got to shoot around monday night.
-I've spent the last 7 consecutive days with 1(2) of the best guy(s) ever!
-I've had some of the most spiritual conversations with said boy(s).
-Chivlry is NOT dead...Thanks Andrew/Geordie
-The bonfire Sunday night at Catherine/Carrie's...watching some dude try to break wood over his knee like Geordie and not being able to do it...then laughing my head off with Carrie
-The Gospel is true.
-My scar is healing nicely...
-My tan is amazing.
-My hair is getting longer..
-I got a compliment about my eyes that just made my day
-The Canucks are in the NHL finals. Game 1 tonight. I will be watching it from the pub with all the guys.
-Things are just finally working out for me right now. *knock on wood* I really don't want to jinx things.
-Drinking Cream Soda slurpees with Andrew and Geordie
-Driving in Geordies old suburban. All 3 of us sitting in the front while singing old country songs until we laugh our heads off.
-Getting the funniest voicemail from Andrew while he gets pulled over.

What are the things that make you happy today? This Week?
