Live. Love. Laugh.

This is probably one of the best weekends I've had in awhile...

Thursday after work I took my blue one (blue with a black stripe down the middle) belt test for karate. This was the hardest and most exhausting of the belt tests I have taken so far, however, I passed my test and was the only one of my group who did not receive a re-test. After the test Jason's parents took us out to dinner.

Friday I went over to Jason's and we watched House for a few hours then ran errands and went shopping. I was able to pick-up my new glasses. I think they're pretty cute and my eyes are enjoying the occassional break from contacts. We headed to the studio, Jason worked and I played with some of the kids, practiced my form, and chatted. When it was over we stayed and goofed around with a few people for awhile.

Saturday I woke up and headed to the studio for a tournament. I was so excited because my parents were able to come down and watch. I took 2nd place in forms and 1st in sparring. After the tournament Jason, my parents and I went and ate at Frog N' Firkin on University.

Sunday I woke up and headed to Gilbert. My parents, Sara, Maecy and I loaded into the car and headed to Glendale for Cokie's graduation party. It was really fun and I enjoyed seeing the extended family. Maecy and I spent a few hours in the pool, we listened to Brad and Grandpa play music then we headed home. I went over to Neiko's and hung out with him and Derek.

Today I woke up and Julia came over. We made French toast and went to Target. Afterwards I headed back to Tucson. The rest of today I've just been lazy, watching TV, and eating. It feels so good to relax.

I loved this weekend. I loved being able to spend time with Jason, my family and my friends all within a few days. I wish Gilbert and Tucson were closer.

Today I Got New Glasses!

Thursday was my last day of work last week so when I got off I headed to the house I was sitting. I quickly got changed and headed to karate. I came home and watched Ten Things I Hate About You then headed to bed.

Friday I woke up and headed to the eye doctor. I was able to get new contacts and glasses! Woohoo! Afterwards I headed to the mall because my favorite store, Love Coulture opened. I was able to get quite a few things because of their grand opening sale. I met Jason for lunch then worked for him a few hours because he had a demo that evening. We loaded up his truck and karate kids then headed to the demo. His kids did an AMAZING job and lots of people inquired about the studio. After the demo him and I went to Macoroni Grill for dinner.

Saturday I woke up and headed to the karate studio for a kicking class. After the class Jason and I went to lunch then watched a movie. I took a nap while he helped his dad. We met back up and went to Target and Chick-A-Filet. We met up with our friend Don and watched The Knowing.

Sunday I woke up and headed to a house I might be renting. I had lunch with them and then visited the family I babysit for. I went home and took a long nap then went to dinner with Jason and visited with his family.

I haven't made an actual post saying what I've been up to in awhile...so here goes!

I finished the semester on Wednesday and worked the rest of the week. Friday I got off work and headed to the farm to help Charlie (my old boss) with his hot rod. He taught me how to flare a fuel line so that was pretty cool. I went home and got cleaned up then met Jason for dinner. Afterwards we watched some movies.

Saturday I woke up not feeling well so I went and got some medicine then headed to Jason's. We just bummed around and watched movies until I felt better. That night we had a graduation party for Jason's friend Anthony. I didn't know too many people so I just hung out with his brother and our friend Joe who was in town.

Sunday morning I went and said bye to Joe befoe he headed back home and then I cleaned. I got both my bedrooms and closets cleaned. I threw away so much...refreshing! Sean's girlfriend, Ana is in town so we met up with Jason and some other of our friends at the Cowpony, a country bar. Jason surprised me with Toby Keith concert tickets for August.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

My first day of college:

Julia!

Julia (my best friend) arrived in town Friday night and we had an awesome weekend. Friday night we took cardio class, dyed her hair, then had a Hills Marathon. Saturday we woke up, got breakfast, went to the mall, target, and ross, went to lunch, then we shopped on University. We came back and watched Gilmore Girls for a few hours before Jason and I headed to a wedding for our friend Anyalisa. After the wedding we picked up Julia and met some friends at are favorite club, Pearl. We had a total blast. Today Julia and I woke up and watched more Gilmore Girls. I loved having her in town!


The Pearl photographer insisted on taking mine and Jay's photo.



This picture cracks me up, I have no idea what Jay was doing.



All of us on the dance floor:

My best friend!
