That's really all I have to say. What's interesting is looking back and thinking forward in your life. Hm... what does this year have in store for me? Maybe selling my first house, maybe buying a second. Maybe going off to Arizona for school, maybe starting up again at C.C. Maybe a boyfriend?;) Maybe many new friends. Hopefully good times, hopefully learning times. I'm no poet so don't mind that this doesn't flow nice, it's just what's coming into my mind! Maybe more trips around the world. Wow, that'd be a blast. Maybe I'll finally learn to play the drums and keep up with my biking! Maybe I'll get to go camping a couple times at least and do a million fun things outdoors. Anyways, I guess thinking this way gives you that feeling of sitting in the exact same spot on your next birthday and being depressed because you haven't done a thing to make that year special, ya know? We'll have to see what we can do about keeping that from happening;)
If I remember I'll try and stop by the house and take pictures of the two completed bedrooms and post a fun before and after!

I'm not complaining if I'm typing it....right?
Sunday: Sleep in till 8:30 go to church, parents house then church again
Monday: Wake up at 6:30, work at McKenna's till 6 and go straight to the house to get a couple hours work in.
Tuesday: Wake up same time, work at McKenna's till 6. If there isn't a shower at church, try to get a couple hours in at the house.
Wednesday: Work, church/nursary at night
Thursday: Work and then straight to class till 10pm
Friday: Work and then...nope, not hang out with friends...work at the house again.
Saturday: House all day
Have you ever seen those morgage commercials of that guy running after the soccer ball that he can't catch up to and they ask, "know the feeling?" Yeah... my weeks are starting to turn out the same way. It's really hard to explain the monotonous feeling, knowing how dull the weeks are and knowing it's going to be the exact same the following week. I'm thankful I have stuff to do most of the time and Im not sitting around bored but it's just getting old.

Hand - Me - Downs I could live without
"I love going cheap on things, why don't we start saving a little money and buy our toilet paper used from amazon, Beka."
"Great Idea!" says Beka. "Why didn't people think to sell used toilet paper before?"
"I have no idea." says Marissa. "Heck, while we're at it why don't we try and sell our used chewing gum."
- The End -

From this point forward... I am a home owner
Why is it that I love the idea of being constantly busy and having things to do but when I look ahead at my incredibly busy weeks I get depressed and stress out?? Maybe when some of the busy-ness isn't very productive busy-ness or whatever, who knows. I just can't figure that out.
Anyways, this week hasn't had a spare minute to it until right now. And even now I am susposed to be at work but I just need a minute, is that too much for a girl to ask!?:) I closed on my house this morning. Thanks to a couple things the process went very smoothly and quickly! We were in and out of that office in 20 min! My uncle (and wonderful realtor) was telling me how long they can normally take, so I was very thankful all went well! If you ever close on a house make sure you all have all your paperwork correct and have the first appointment in the morning right when they open so there is noone before you to mess up and hold you up! This weekend starts the demolition of the house:) I was reading this really good book about the whole home buying process and the author mentioned something in there that I've never really heard of but I'm thankful he said it. "Buyers remorse." Sounds horrible but it's true. We had kind of an interesting process that went along with our house so I think that added a little anxiety to my plate but there were times, and I think they will continue, where I'm just a little depressed I guess. I start to wonder if I should have done this, what in the world am I getting myself into with all this remodeling...sometimes I'm excited and sometimes I'm not. That's what the author called "buyers remorse." I usually don't like it when people have to give everything and every feeling a "term" but I like this one:) He says it's very common and people get over it. It's just at the beginning when maybe you feel like you should have taken longer to think about it or wonder why you put so much money into something. The most "interesting" part of this whole thing will be working alongside my parents in the remodel process. It's already been really hard. That's all I have to say about that:)
Anyways, my parent's keep my bedroom door shut while I'm away so my fingers are freezing right now. I should probably give McKenna's mom a call to let her know I'm done and see if she wants me to head over there now. IT'S THURSDAY! Usually I don't get too excited about those but today it means that the past 2 Thrusdays have been super beautiful, I like that pattern, plus I have class tonight which isn't something to be too excited about but something about it gives me the sudden realization (it just hit me feeling) that I only have one more 10 hr. work day this week and it's the weekend!! Alright I'm outta here... lata'

hey there
It's me again! I'm still here. I moved in with a friend a few weeks ago and haven't had much internet access since then. Good news - we are thinking about getting cable internet, so hopefully that works out! It's a nice change being on my own though. A couple weeks ago I bought a house in Ada to fix up and resell, my dad and my friends are planning on helping quite a bit with it, which I am so thankful for! The closing date keeps getting pushed back to later but that's been giving us more time for planning and such. Hopefully next week I'll be closing! Anyways, I better get going...it's the best part of Beauty and the Beast so I'm gonna go finish watching that with McKenna. Have a great week!
