Yes, were a family now… All were missing is the marriage, and well that is coming in July… July 9th to be exact. Were getting ready to order the invitations, and get addresses and everything together to get those sent off to everyone…. Hopefully, we don’t forget anyone. We also are safely home with Nicholas, and we are taking in for his two month check up here next week! His baby shower is on Saturday, and last week he had his photos taken for his birth announcements. So we are also in the process of waiting for those to arrive so that we can send those out to family and friends. So, we are going to be busy with addressing, and we will be spending lots of money on stamps, stamps, stamps. Well, anyways, thats all for now, just wanted to give you all a quick update. Oh yeah, and if you want to look at his pictures that he had taken for the birth announcements, you can veiw them at Photos Also, I have not updated his page lately, but I am planning on doing so here within the next few days…. We were having problems with our internet. So, be expencting those on Filed in Engagement, Family, Love Around The Globe, Marriage, Mike, Nicholas at 6:13 am

Well, I haven’t wrote a blog in a long time so I thought it was about time. Especially since, it it 5:56 AM and I have not slept a drop. Yeah, for some reason I couldnt sleep last night… Just one of those nights.
Anyways, Mike and I really havent been up to much other than us moving into my parents other house. Then after we moved in we had Christopher, my nephew come out and stay with us, and were still busy on college classes for the summer. So yeah… We’ve been pretty busy.
Then this coming week it looks like we may possibly go fishing which I am very excited about as its something I love… I wish that I had my own boat…. Haha thats really a wish. Oh yeah, and we ended up not getting the house we were looking at… Looks like we couldnt get it this time due to a lack of paperwork… How dumb.
Well, anyways that just a quick update I think I am going to look into putting up a photo page or something since I am up alone, and have nothing to do right now.

So…. Don’t think your going to hear something to go running and spreading a rumor about, because well I’m not having a kid. At least not at this point in time. However, I am trying to buy a house here in Coffman Cove. It is a very nice 3 bedroom house, and I should hear back about it this week sometime to see if I get it, or if the bank will need more information and whatnot.
I am really hoping to be able to get the house. I would love to own one of my own, and be able to live on my own again. Not that I hate living with my parents, but just the simple fact that I am old enough that I believe I should be out on my own and fending for myself.
Then if I get the house I think Mike and I are going to try to bring one or two of his brothers up here to live or stay with us for awhile. I would love it as I love kids and I think it would be a great opportunity for not only us but also for his brothers. So anyways, we are thinking about that, and I think that even if we don’t get this house we may look into bringing one of them up.
Lastly, I just started my summer classes this last week. They seem to be going well so far. So hopefully I get good grades in them:) Well, anyways, better get off of here and do something more productive….. Like… Maybe facebook.

Well, as many of you probably already know on my 21st Birthday Michael and I went into Ketchikan. it was a lot of fun. However, what I ended up doing wasn’t my intentions when I went in there. However, It was still fun. Anyways the morning of the 10th we went into Ketchikan, and Mike and I went to the Landing and had some lunch. It was very good, and a relaxing meal. Then we did a little bit of shopping and headed up to our hotel room. Well, we were going to be naughty, and then the famous phone call comes. Mike and I always get interrupted by phones. Anyways, It was my sister Jennifer. She wanted to come visit us. So, we waited for her while watching Dr. Phil. About the lady who had like 14 kids. God I hope I never have that many kids, at least not all at once.

So anyways, we visited with Jennifer. It was a pretty nice visit with her. Then we visited with Becca and Ronny afterwards, and they invited us to go out to dinner with them. Then MIke and I went out to Jennifer’s house, where Christopher had to tell us all about his blind dog “ButterCup” It was a pretty good dog I have to admit, but I don’t think a blind dog would get along very well with a blind guy. They would probably collide a lot. That would suck. Anyways, and then we met Jennifer’s new boyfriend Kevin. He was a pretty good guy it seemed like. At least better then some of the others that she has picked out.

Then that was the end of us visiting with everyone so we headed out to dinner at Oceanveiw, where we had dinner with Becca, Ronny, Kayleigh, Felton, Devon, and Jessica. Dinner was very good, in fact Oceanveiw is my favorite place to eat in Ketchikan. They have a lot of choices, and great food proceeded by Chips & Salsa. Very good. Better than going to Red Robbin if you ask me. But I still miss Red Robbin.

Anyways, then we went back to the room, and we headed down to Becca and Ronny’s room. Where Mike told Ronny that he should take me out for some drinks. So yeah, Becca, Ronny, and I went out to drink at the bars and Mike stayed to watch the boys (very nice of him eh?). I went and got a free drink from every bar in Ketchikan that was open that night. Which well wasn’t very many. I think I had like 3 duck farts, a strawberry daquiri, a martini, and a rum and coke. By the way Duck Farts are very good if you haven’t had them before I highly suggest them.:) We came across some very nice bartenders at a bar called Mike’s Elbow Room. They told me that next time I need to try German Chocolate Cake, which I guess tastes just like german chocolate cake apparently. Weird if you ask me. I don’t know how alchohol can taste like German Chocolate Cake. And also Tequilla Sunrises. I also learned how to play darts… lol. And got to shoot some pool with Ronny and Becca. So that was fun. Now I can’t wait til Mike’s Birthday to go do it again.

Anyways, then we went back to the room, and went to bed, and woke up the next morning. Did some shopping, and then went home. Overall it was a good trip.

Oh yeah, and I got an amazing wii game for my birthday it wears me out big time. It is called Outdoor Challenge. Very good game I would highly recommend it to any of you who play the wii. Mike also likes it I think. I also got some other wii stuff, and Mike got me some beautiful Butterfly earrings. They are my favorite color purple, and I have been wearing them since I got them. I love them! I also got a kool digital photo frame. I love those things. I was so excited to get one. Now I just need a good place to put it. Maybe Mike and I will just have to move into a place by ourselves so I can set up all my stuff. I miss having my own place….. Anyways, I think thats about it for now. Hope you all had a great weekend, and hope your week goes great.

Then we went

Here I am stuck in a world I hate and don’t want to be in. I can’t do anything without getting yelled at and I can’t do nothing to prevent getting yelled at. Whether it’s my fault or not I am the one to blame. Why? I don’t know.
It’s just the way things always are with my family. What was I thinking coming back here, instead of staying with friends that loved me. What was I thinking taking this AmeriCorps position that causes me to have to spend a whole other year here. Maybe it was the fact that I thought we were going to be able to move out of my parents house, or maybe it was the fact that I needed a job and something to do.
But now I am here stuck with someone who yells at me for every little thing that doesnt go his way, and I don’t know what to do about it besides get depressed about it. Oh well. I guess its life.
We’ll see what happens I guess. Maybe things will get better. Anyways, I do have a little bit of work to do before I get the Americorps position up and started. I am going to be working at the school on Thursday of this week, and it appears half of next week. Plus I start college classes this coming week which will be good hopefully that goes good anyways. As for last term I looked at my grades, and I am already doing relatively better than what I was doing at WOU with classes. So that is great. Anyways, hope the beginning of your guy’s year has caught you in a better situation than that of mine. With everything that has to do with life in general.

Well, My parents MIke and I are all on the ferry on our way home. I would love to say that I am completely excited about being home. However, that in fact is not the case. I mean don’t get me wrong I love being at home in Alaska with family and everyone, but theres the downfalls too. Like Mike not being happy there. No one my age living there, and etc. I guess I can live with that though.
Anyways, we should all be home Monday night. To what sounds like 5 or more feet of snow as long as it don’t warm up before we get there, which well would be completely disastrous end to this vacation as I hate driving on ice. Anyways, hope you all had a good new years filled with a lot of fun adventures. As for Mike and I’s relationship. Hopefully it works out, but for some reason I think he is going to end up leaving and going back to Oregon to live with George. Its just the vibe that I get.

Well, I suppose by now ya all are wondering how my vacation to Montana and to Coos Bay has went. Me myself am not sure. It seems as if, life just isn’t right. In the first place I didnt really want to go to Montana when it was time to go. It seemed as if it just wasnt the right thing to do, because of some of the previous incidents with Michael. However, putting aside everything that happened I packed up my bags and headed off to Montana. After a long day of traveling, and being stuck at the Seattle airport we arrived in Kalispell, MT. It was frigid, yeah, thats what the news said. It is frigid today you are advised to stay inside, and dress warm. First time I have ever heard that on the news. But at this point it was like 4 in the morning so all we wanted to do was sleep…..

However, things never worked as planned we all know that…….

So, here comes the next event of our trip……

Here I am in Montana with Michael, laying on Mikes sister Amanda’s living room floor ready to fall asleep. And apparently Michael has something he wants to talk to me about. He didnt buy a plane ticket home. Yep you got that right. He was not planning to come back to Alaska with me. So, at the point of him telling me this I am just ready to leave, but well there is no way to get out of there. I’m stuck. And Mike has decided after 5 minutes at his parents house that well, this just isn’t going to work out. I can’t stay here he said. So, we looked at some plane tickets, and I ended buying Mike a plane ticket back to Coos Bay, and changed my flight to the next day.
Now here we are in Coos Bay, for awhile everything went great, we got along, were honest with each other for probably the first time in our relationship. However, I found out some things that slightly ruined the idea of us staying in a relationship. The biggest thing is that my cousin recently had a baby. Me myself has always wanted kids. And come to find out Mike doesnt think he wants kids, and doesnt know if he wants to get married. So imagine how this breaks my heart. I didnt know how to respond and honestly still dont.

Then…..

Not only does this happen but I even begin to learn more things about Mike, his past, his present, and just him overall that are bubbling inside me, my mind, and I just dont know how to feel about them or what I should do. I mean I am not saying I’m perfect, but the main thing in my mind right now is how someone can be so deceiving, untruthful, and yet act like they love you more than anyone in the world. I love the guy. I honestly do, but how should I feel? What should I do? He needs some things that alaska really can’t offer him, and well, he really hates alaska. What do I do let him go, and allow the situation to break my heart? or tell him that I truly still love him, and I can’t stand for him to stay behind. Anyways, I think this is all the information I can offer you on the situation. Point being… As of Sunday, December 28th, 2008 I do not know if Mike will be coming back to the state of Alaska with me.

I am truly hurt by this simple fact……

I will keep you updated on my situation as well as Mike’s and the information that he will allow me to share with you all.

However on the bright side I have gotten the job with Americorps and am greatly happy about the whole situation. I just need to get some paperwork faxed and mailed off and the beginning process of that job will be done. I will also keep you updated in this situation.

So, Today I filled out an application to work as a volunteer through AmeriCorp. They have a program through RurAL CAP for Health and Ecology volunteers within communities. It so happens that Southeast Island School District was looking for an individual that would be interested in applying for this position. If I were to get this position it would mean that I would help out within our community with various volunteer efforts. Including things such as but not limited to, Recycling, Greenhouse, Clean-up, and helping within the local classroom. This would benefit our community greatly. So hopefully I will receive this position. It would get me 1200 a month and then after a year I would get 4700 towards school. Which is great! This would also mean that for a week during January I would be traveling up to Anchorage where I would attend classes on how to be a successful AmeriCorps member, and provide me with some ideas to implement within the community.

Secondly, Mike and I still have not bought our tickets to leave Montana. I guess we should do that relatively soon. It would most likely be a good idea. I have been working a quiet bit within the last month or so. Which is great, I have been earning some money, which helps me out with car payments and what not.

Also, Mike got his teeth fixed yesterday! They look great, however, they have seemed to be painful for the last couple days. Which sucks. But I guess he shouldnt have went and broke his teeth as a kid… Lol Kidding.

Anyways, Hope that ya all have a great weekend!

So I thought that I would update ya all. Haven’t wrote a blog in about a week.

First of all, Yesterday, was elections, to determine who our president was going to be for the next 4 years. And Obama won. Which I was very excited about I have been hoping that he would win. I didnt want to see Palin, Vice President. Alaskas name would have kept going downhill. Well, not only for that reason did I want Obama to be president. Anyways, This will mark a day in history forever. Our first black president.

Secondly, Felton, My nephew has started basketball season. We have went to about 3 of his games. They have greatly improved. In the two weeks that they have been playing. I am very proud of his whole team. They are doing great!

Mike and I purchased our Miles to get flights to Montana with… Its cheaper that way. Now we jsut have to get the tickets. Lol. We are going to leave on the 14th is the plan as of right now.

Anyways, thats about all I have to share right now. Have a good week!

So, it appears that people out there just don’t seem to think that us Mac users should play games. Why do I say this. Because it appears that these online game sites, none of them make their games available to the mac. I have yet to find one, if you know of any that have good games that are available on the mac. I would be happy to know. But for the mean time I am wanting to try out this new stupid Bejeweled twist game that I read about on digg…. And what do you know. Its not available on the mac. At least not of yet.
Anyways, Stupid Mac Games isn’t my only reason for writing this blog. I aslo thought that I would update ya all with what was going on in my life since I haven’t wrote a blog in a while. This past weekend Mike, My mom, and I all went into Ketchikan. I guess it was fun. Although I was wanting to get my hair cut, and it appeared that I must of had a look about me or something because no one wanted to cut my hair. Oh well, life I guess. We also went to the movies with my nephew Shawn and neice Jessica, and we watched High school Musical 3. It was pretty good I seemed to enjoy it. And I think the rest of us did to.
Then we are nearing Halloween this coming Friday. Mike and I are going to make some cute little cupcakes for the kids at school, and we carved our pumpkins today. Tomorrow I will get a picture of us with our pumpkins and upload them onto myspace. Then on Nov. 1st is the Halloween Carnival. So that should be fun. It will be Mikes first time in Alaska for that.
Also, school is going pretty good I guess. However, once again I am contemplating the idea of changing my major. The fact is I have no damn clue what I want to do. Lol. I started out with highschool education, changed to accounting, and am now thinking about the possibilities of early childhood education or business. However, at one point I even contemplated the idea of Special Education. But I really have no idea. If you ask me, maybe I shouldn’t be in college. Maybe I should attempt something like a postal exam, and go for working in a post office.
Last thing, Mike and I are thinking about going to Montana and Coos Bay for christmas. I can’t wait. I have never been to Montana, so that will be an interesting experience. Plus we haven’t seen Michaels family in awhile so that will be good. Then we will get to go to Coos Bay and see my cousins new little baby due the 25th of December!
