Post 10 photos and captions that will provide insight on your life.


Baby. She's my puppy even tho she's not a puppy anymore. I got her from my niece's mother when she was a year old, before they got her, she was rescued on a cold winter day on the side of a road in Port Huron. She can be a little brat sometimes, but I don't know what I'd do without her.


Ryan Vitale Mattis. We have been together for almost 3 years now and I can't even describe how perfect we are for each other. Yeah, we fight like every other couple, but at the end of the day there is no one I would rather spend the rest of my life with <3


I like to travel. The top two places I would like visit before I die would be Ireland and Venice.


I like to read. My favorite book is The Giver, I read it in junior high school and it's been my favorite ever since.


At one point I wanted to be a photographer, I still enjoy taking pictures, but I don't think I could do it for a living.


I like to doodle. I tend to use song lyrics and make it into pictures.


I have a weird obsession with zombies. It's the one Halloween costume I've used the most.


My favorite band is The Lawrence Arms. I don't know too many people who listen to them, but they are one of the very few bands who haven't put out an album I didn't like (also includes New Found Glory, Rise Against, Silverstein and Incubus).


I love babies. I cannot wait to start my own family.


I'm hoping I get to wear this someday.......hopefully someday soon. Ryan and I were at Lakeside the other day and he wanted to go into Rogers & Hollands to check it out. We also picked out a wedding band for him ;)

1/1/10 07:13 pm - New year, new things.

Well, it's 2010. Can't believe how fast 2009 went by. I am excited for this year tho.

I haven't really posted on here in a while....I'm still working at Asset, I like the pay a lot better than when I was at Best Buy, but I really don't like the job. I hate being the bad guy calling someone to tell them they owe money..even if they should have paid it in the first place. It's slightly depressing.
The holidays have been pretty good. I've spent a lot of time with the family, which I always love. The babies are growing so fast it's crazy. Lucas will be a year old on the 13th....ohh how time flies by. Speaking of babies, I can't wait to have one of my own.........although I would really love to get married first haha. Who knows when that will happen ;) Ryan has a "ring fund" which has double the amount needed to buy the ring I want.

Okay so my life is kind of boring so I don't have too much to write about lol.


Happy New Year Everyone!

10/18/09 09:58 am - It's been a minute....

Haven't updated in about a month...

The new job is going well, got my first paycheck and am very happy about it lol. The people I work with are pretty cool...except maybe one.......she is just so obnoxiously annoying. 50 year old woman who has teenage type problems with men, shares wayyyyy too much info (i.e. telling everyone she has a yeast infection, yuck.), and not knowing wtf she's doing so she bothers me about everything while I'm trying to make calls. Other than that, I like it.

I GOT A NEW CAR! That's huge for me, seeing that I've had the same clunker since I've been driving. It's a black '05 Chevy Cobalt and I absolutely LOVE it. I owe Ryan $900 now because he put the down payment on it for me. He's so sweet :)

Other than that, things have been pretty normal, although, I have been going out a lot more than usual. I'm enjoying having weekends off and spending them with Ry. The only weekend day I have to work is the last Saturday of the month, which isn't too bad. It's an 8-12 shift.


So that's about it. I'm going to take a nap now..

9/17/09 12:14 pm - Excited/nervous/sad

So today is my last day at Best Buy. As happy as I am to leave, I'm going to miss my favorites! I'm sure we'll still get to hang out, but I'll miss working with such awesome girls and boys ;)

I start my training on Mond.ay. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. I'm just really glad that they have extensive training that lasts a month before I jump into the actual job.

This weekend is going to be tons of fun!
Friday, I'm going to see THE KOFFIN KATS! I'm going with Holly and Alisha's band is also playing with them. I'm excited :)!
Saturday, Ryan and I are going to the cider mill. I can't wait to get my hands on some cider and donuts haha. They also have a fudge shop that I'm excited about. I'm such a fatass lol. Later that night I will be watching my 8 month old nephew. He's so adorable.
Sunday = Ren Fest! I can't wait!! I reeeeally want to dress up...but we'll see. Ryan and I will be going over to his dad's for dinner later that day for enchilladas! Yum! I love hanging out with his dad and Ben, they're awesome.


Anywho, I'm going to finish laundry before I have to get ready for my last day of work at 407 ;)

9/10/09 02:56 pm

Sooo...Contingent on my background and credit check, I got the job! :-D
I'm so excited and nervous too...eek!

9/8/09 10:46 pm - Woo!!

I got a job interview! I'm nervous.

8/24/09 11:12 pm - Hello again Live Journal world!

So life is pretty much the same, with a few differences...

I'm saving $100 (or more) per paycheck to prove to Ryan I can save money. When I get to $1000, I will get a very special ring ;) ;) ;)
It makes me so giddy to think about....and so happy to know that he wants me to be his wife and spend the rest of his life with me :-D! I need to put my bass amp on craigslist so I can put more money away. This whole deal should only take me until mid December if I stick with it, or sooner if I get extra money in there.

Living with Ryan has been great. I feel like we've grown together even more and we are fantastic together now. I have become, in my opinion, less needy of his time. We do our own things for part of the day which helps keep us from fighting. And when we have together time, it's that much better.


I'm just so in love with life for the most part lately. It could use a few tweaks in the job/money intake area, but other than that, it's perfect :)

8/13/09 11:39 pm

Ryan leaves to go to Indiana for the weekend tomorrow after work.I don't want to be in this house all alone tomorrow. Thankfully Holly is going to stay with me Saturday night and then Ry will be back home Sunday night. It may sound stupid, but all the shit that has been going on in this neighborhood has been scaring the shit out of me the past couple nights. :-/

8/11/09 11:48 pm - :-/

Growing up sometimes means falling apart...ugh.

7/22/09 01:09 am

Things are changing, I can feel it ..and I like it. :)

7/15/09 11:41 am - Back to reality...

So we got back from Myrtle Beach, SC yesterday. It was beautiful there. I loved the ocean especially. I enjoyed all the time I got to spend with my wonderful boyfriend and my wonderful friends.
Now, it's back to reality....I have to work tonight from 4-close. At least it's a smaller shift. It's going to be super weird coming back to work after having a week off. I am glad to be home for a few reasons, one being I get to see my little monster puppy dog. She got really excited when Ry and I picked her up last night :)

In other news, I was planning on getting a Medical Assisting degree and then getting a Nursing degree afterward, but now I kind of want to just do the Nursing. Also, I'm thinking about transferring from Baker to Macomb. It is a bit cheaper at Macomb..... I don't know. I have to talk to someone at Macomb first. I just don't know if I want to try to get into fall classes at Macomb that start so soon (next month) or just go another semester at Baker and then transfer for winter classes. It's something I'll have to figure out super quick lol.

Also, I want to learn how to cook. I mean...I know how to cook, but I want to be really good. Ryan always makes fun of me because I'm not so great and I just want to blow his mind one day with a dinner or something. So I'm thinking I'm going to start cooking more often because practice makes perfect, right? Anyone want to test my cooking experiments!? lol


That's about all for now....

7/2/09 08:24 pm - dot dot dot

I'm so anxious for life...........I want things to happen......Maybe I'm just a bit too anxious...Ughhhh.

6/26/09 12:37 pm - Hmmm..

I haven't written in here in quite some time, so here goes....

In less than 2 weeks, I will be in Myrtle Beach with some of my favorite people. Were staying at a Marriott which, from the pictures I've seen, looks beautiful. They have an ocean-side pool, a spa, and a cute little bar. Here's the website if you're interested: http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/MYRGD?vsretype=c&vsresect=rd&vsrelink=vhw&vsrebrand=MC&vsremarsha=MYRGD

In other news, Ryan and I are now living together. It's so much nicer not arguing over whose house were going to stay at and whatnot. I really like living alone together, I think it will work out a million times better than when we were living with other people. Were still getting everything put together and I still have things like my bed, computer, tv and other misc. things to bring over from the condo. Overall, I'm pretty happy right now.

Right now I'm waiting to call my senior to find out if the power came back on at work. She told me to call about a half hour before I have to come in (which is 2pm). I've been hearing a lot of people say that it was said the power probably wont be back on until tomorrow, but who knows. I'll probably have to work anyway....


Okay, I think I'm done now. Hopefully I'll have tons of pictures to update with after Myrtle Beach!

6/8/09 11:09 am - Hello LiveJournal world!

I have so much going on....

This is the last week of classes for the spring semester. I have my first (and very worst) final today. I'm kind of nervous about that. The other two classes I'm taking, I have no worries about.

I have a few vacations and things to look forward to in the next couple months. I'm going to Kalahari again (indoor water park in Ohio) with Ryan's family on Father's day weekend. That place is so much fun! I think someone said something about going to Cedar Point that Sunday, but I don't know what exactly is going on. Then there's my most anticipated vacation, Myrtle Beach :)! Were (Vicky, Steve, Ryan and I) leaving July 9th and driving there and will be staying until the 14th. I'm so excited to be away from it all for almost a full week.

I'm in the process of eating healthier and being more active in order to get in shape. It's not going too bad, I've lost some inches. I just need a few more to come off before we go to Kalahari and I'm in a bikini all day.

I am moving out of this place and in with Ryan. I'm going to start moving my stuff over this week, slowly but surely lol. Were going to live there until we find a house of our own to buy. It's only Ryan and I living there too, because Vicky is living with Steve and Matt moved out months ago. So, it will be an introduction to having our own place. I'm excited we wont be arguing over whose house we will be staying over anymore lol.


Okay, so this was a super long post (for me at least). I'm going to go get ready for class.

5/18/09 01:10 am - Can't sleep...

I'm really bored. Ryan has my puppy and he decided to stay home tonight, so I don't have anyone to cuddle with :( Soooo....I can't seem to fall asleep.

We had a Reward Zone event tonight at work and I did absolutely nothing. I was in charge of the enter/exit table where we gave the free gifts to the first 50 people and told everyone where to get their raffle tickets. I sat on my ass most of the time.
Ash came over and hung out with me after work. I missed her :( We sat around and talked like usual and I loved it. Her new boy toy brought me free pizza and that was pretty awesome lol.

So, I had a lot of people I haven't talked to in a long time talk to me today. Weird. I realized there are some people I miss hanging out with a lot. I need to go out more often.




Okay. I think I'll start reading and that may make me tired enough to fall asleep...

5/12/09 11:14 am - You know that I could use somebody, someone like you.

(I fucking love Kings of Leon and that song is pretty much amazing)

Anyway, life has been pretty crazy lately. I'm trying to juggle school and work and it's not as hard as I thought it'd be, but I'm just sooo exhausted. I'm getting real sick of Best Buy tho. I need to get the fuck out of there as soon as I can. It's just ridiculous the things they expect of me when I get treated like a piece of shit. If anyone has any good ideas of things I can do for money, I might be up for it lol.

Hmmm, I guess I could post some pictures, I haven't done that in a while.
Clicky clicky )

Apparently all I take pictures of lately are babies and my puppy lol.


So I think that's about all I have for now. Time to get ready for work :-/

4/30/09 08:44 pm - Hi.

Soooo, I haven't really posted a real entry in a bit. Nothing super exciting has been going on. I work and when I'm not working, I am at school. When I'm not at school or work I'm either sleeping or doing homework. Not much of a life these days. I guess it will be worth it in the end.
Tomorrow and Saturday, I work early shifts. I want to go out and do something fun one or both of those days. Let me know if there is something I could be involved in ;)

I guess that's about all I have to update on....
I'm going to find something interesting to watch.








....Ohh. Btw, apparently I have a "ring fund" :D!!

4/24/09 08:58 pm

What's new, people?
Anything interesting going on in anyone's lives lately?

I'm bored, send me comments ;)

3/30/09 10:55 pm - Doctors appointment.

I had my appointment today. It went well. The doc said she thinks my symptoms were due to my anxiety again. So I told her why I stopped taking the last medication for my anxiety (it cost me $80 a month) and she prescribed me Celexa which is only $10 a month. Woo! It's 20mg opposed to the 10mg I was on with Lexapro, so she told me to take half a pill for the first four days. I feel better already lol. I looked up the side effects for this medication and they kind of scare me....nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, etc. Hopefully I don't have any of the these side effects.

Anyway, that's all. Just wanted to update about my appointment.

3/29/09 07:53 pm

I have a doctors appointment tomorrow. Most likely getting blood taken to find out wtf is going on with my body. I had to get my shift covered and will have to use my sick hours for the day.

Afterward, I would like to go talk to someone about getting a pre-approval for a mortgage. This is something I really don't want to do alone, so hopefully someone will accompany me. Maybe I can get Ryan to go with me after he gets off work...haha. I also would like to go thrifting. I haven't been to a thrift store in a while. Hopefully I will feel well enough to go do these things after my appointment.


It's still kind of early, but I think I'm going to find a movie to watch and fall asleep.
Goodnight.
