Lots to tell!!

Hey guys, sorry I don't keep up with this! I figured it was time for an update since I haven't had a new post since I got my tonsils out. SO, what has happened lately?? Well I am back at school. I have been in Tucson for about 4 weeks now. Bentley drove out with me to help me move the rest of my stuff in and then she had to leave the next day because she had cross country practice, but it was nice to have her with me on the long boring car ride. We rocked out to Taylor Swift for a nice portion of the 6 hours:) Classes started about 3 weeks ago and so far things are going okay. I already have 2 exams this week!!! Scary! I am taking my first teaching course called teaching elementary math, and so far I really like it. I applied to the college of education for the teacher preparation program this last friday, so keep your fingers crossed for me!!! If I get in, next semester I will be taking teaching/method courses so I am very excited! Whats next?? Nathan made a surprise visit to me here in Tucson. He made up this whole story about how he was flying out and then his plane got delayed and blah blah and I totally fell for it. He called me and asked me if I had checked the mail that day cause he sent a package and he got a notice that it had arrived and I hadn't so I went outside to check and there were flowers and a mcdonalds caramel iced coffee (my favorite!) on the porch. THEN I was very confused and just kept saying what the heck, nathan, what the heck whats going on. And he walked around the corner and there he was! SURPRISE!!! It was the best surprise ever... he had driven all day to surprise me:) He is so sweet. He stayed for 4 days and it was so much fun! We adopted a kitty and Nathan named him Jack. He is all black and has pretty blue eyes. Nathan built him a really cool kitty castle thing. It took him a while, but it turned out really good. Nathan also did yard work and fixed the light that was falling of my ceiling. I tell ya... he's gonna make a great husband one day;))) When Nathan left I went back to my normal routine of school and what not. THEN the next weekend I flew home so I could see him one more time before he left for England. I spent pretty much every second with him when I was in San Diego, I won't lie, but he is the reason that I went home so what do you expect!! We did our normal movie watching and dinner going, and then on Sunday we went golfing with Bentley and his little brother Evan. It was so much fun, but it was so so hot!! And me and Bentley are awful at gulf haha. When we got home from golfing I realized I had a fever but that wasn't gonna stop me! ( I ended up having the flu and I am still fighting a bad cough). Monday me and Nathan went to the beach with my family and had a bbq. That was our last day together, so it was sad, but fun. Tuesday morning Nathan took me to the airport and we said our good-byes. It was really hard:( I am really really gonna miss him. I already do. He gave me his favorite pair of old grey sweatpants with a cute little note so I have been wearing those a lot. He left for England yesterday morning and he is going to be there for 3 months. I am so so happy for him because he wanted to do this so bad and he is so excited, but its gonna be hard. He is going to be 9 hours ahead of me for the next 3 months... I don't know how much I like that. That means when I am sleeping, he is awake. And when I am awake, he is sleeping. Like right now... its midnight there. It is going to take some getting used to. I haven't actually talked to him since he left from the New York airport, and I'm not gonna lie, it is driving me crazy. Not knowing what is going on is NOT something that I like. He has to get a different phone so so far he has no way to call me, and I am not sure about the internet situation... but I really hope I hear from him soon. Or... I might just lose my mind. Anyways... other news. We now have 3 animals in the house. Kristin has her kitty Sam, I have Jack, and Yael is currently dog sitting a little pup named Trae. What a big family we have!!! :) I am currently looking for a job. My Dad helped me type up a resume today and I am gonna do a lot of job searching this week. I need to keep busy or I am gonna miss Nathan too much , so it will be really good if I get a job. Wish me luck cause no ones hiring haha!!!! Well I guess that about does it for now. I will try to keep up with this more!!! XOXO.

Misery

This is so awful. I am in so so so much pain and I am choking on my own spit. My tongue is still swollen and I have the worst taste in my mouth. Pain meds help, but they make me nauseous since I can't eat anything. I thought it was a funny idea that I would lose weight from not being able to eat for a little while, but nooo. I really have lost weight. A noticeable amount. And if I keep feeling like this for another week or two then I am going to be legitimately skinny. Crazy. I have watched every movie in my house, I swear, and I am just so tired of laying in bed and doing nothing. My Mom is great though, she is always checking in on me and seeing if I need something, but I am being very bratty and I should be nicer to her, I'm just frustrated. I am literally starving and it is making me a grumpy person. I can barely talk still, Bentley says I sound like a deaf person hahaha. Yesterday I went to BJ's for a birthday celebration for my friend Niamh who passed away and I couldn't even have a real conversation with her parents cause my words don't make any sense! It is frustrating. But hopefully this next week I will get better. I take that back... it is gonna get worse cause my throat with start to scab, but then after that it should get better:) Alrighty, that's my update for you guys. I'm miserable and grumpy. Cross your fingers that I will start to improve! XOXO.

Sunsets and Surgeries

Hello! So many of you know that I had surgery yesterday, tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, so I will be lying in bed bored for quite some time...... so I thought what better to do than update my blog since I normally am so bad with keeping up with it. 

Me and my big strong man:)

These are my lacrosse girls at our last game! I am so so proud of them. It was so exciting to watch these girls improve in their lacrosse skills during the few months I was able to coach them. There was such a difference from their first game to their last. They played fantastically at the Starz Cup and they almost won! I am going to miss them a bunch, but hopefully I will be back to coach over winter:)

This is my handsome man dressed up as an explorer:) Every Thursday at the day camp he works at the leaders have to dress up for that weeks theme and this week it was Journey to the Center of the Earth so he dressed up like an explorer. He always has the best outfits, isnt' he the cutest! Haha. The kids at his camp think that he is just the coolest thing on this earth! 

Nathan and I went down to Marine Street beach a couple weeks ago and ate some of my homemade fried rice and just sat there and watched the sunset. It was really fun and there was hardly anyone there which made it even better. I got a  lot of really good pictures, but this one is my favorite...

Summer, oh summer...

Just to fill you guys in on what's been going on with me... I have been coaching lacrosse and volunteering at a day care called The Little School. I really enjoy doing both of these, but it's hard because I am not getting paid for either of them and really have no source of income right now. I have been doing yard work for money, but that's not getting me too far. Other than that I have been hanging out with Nathan when he is not working and visiting my best friend Danika a couple times a week since she is stuck on the couch because she got ACL surgery. Ummm, I got my wisdom teeth out and that was hell and in a few weeks I will be getting my tonsils removed. Ultimately, this has been the lamest summer in the history of summers. No job, no money, and two surgeries. Gah! But it was good to see my Idaho family:) I just wish we could see them more than once every couple years. Hopefully we can come up for Christmas this year, keep your fingers crossed Idahoans!!!! Well, I guess that's all for now. XOXO.

Quick Update

Sorry I have been super busy since I got back to San Diego so I haven't had time to write, but basically what I have been doing is working in a 5th grade classroom everyday and coaching lacrosse on Mondays and Wednesdays. I am working hard to get all my hours with kids filled so thats pretty much all I have been doing. Other than that I hang out at home or with Nathan and do nothing. But it's kind of nice to do nothing. Ugh, it just doesn't feel like summer at all. I guess now that I'm not a kid anymore I kind of never will have a real summer again. Oh well. XOXO

Weekend and Packing

My weekend was very boring, as usual. I just sat around, and laid out a little bit. And today I started to pack some stuff up so I am ready to leave ASAP on Friday. I packed up all my wall decorations so my walls are all blank and I also packed up some desk stuff and any other stuff I won't be needing when I go back to San Diego. Other than that I have been doing nothing. I went to the gym and almost died because it is so dry today and I hadn't drank any water before I worked out. Not a smart choice. Anyways, I can't wait to be home!!! I am so ready to be done with this lonely desert thing. XOXO.

Happy Birthday Mama

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

7 days to go...

... and I am finally out of here. I can't be here anymore. It's horrible.

Bad Day:(

A Side Note

I realize that I am doing a lot of whining and complaining about my lonely life in Tucson, but I just want to point out that I am not really lonely. My family and my boyfriend have been amazing the past couple weeks. I mean, Nathan stayed out here in Tucson for 10 days and just sat in my apartment alone and bored while I was in class just because he knew I wanted him to be here with me (he even stayed an extra couple days). And even though he is back in SD now he spends a lot of time talking to me on the phone and making sure I am still sane. I feel bad because I always call him in the worst mood, but he always always always puts up with my attitude and just talks to me and makes me feel better. Sometimes I hate that he can make me laugh no matter what... there are times when I call him I just want to rant to him or cry or just complain and have a pity party but he always has some silly song he makes up and sings to me or some silly joke and I can't stay mad. But thats probably a good thing. He is absolutely amazing. I love him I love him I love him. More than anything.

And my Mama has been very tolerant of me lately:) I call her allllllll the time too ha ha. Sometimes you just need your Mom, right??? Anyway, she always talks to me for however long I need to talk, and I love her for it. I really really really wish I lived by her sometimes. Just so we could have lunch or cuddle or something. I miss her. 

My Dad has been very tolerant too. I call him while he is at work so he is usually very busy but he talks to me anyways:) He loves me a lot!!!!!! 

So THANK YOU to my patient boyfriend and my beauuutiful parents! You guys are the best! 

I love you MAMA

I love you DAD

I love you NATHAN

Can't wait to see you guys!

XOXO

Back to Bored

I cannot handle being alone for this long. I'm losing my mind, for reals. I was cleaning my kitchen and then I just started talking out loud and kind of narrating what I was doing. What the heck!? I just needed to hear a voice I guess? Anyways, today was just like every other day... I went to class, consumed TWO starbucks, went to Highland Market to get milk, came home and did some homework, called Nathan and bugged him for a while, watched FRIENDS, cleaned my kitchen, washed the dishes, and made some dinner. I didn't work out today, but I might decide to go up to the gym a little later. We will see how I am feeling:) I have a KILLER headache that has NOT gone away since Monday so I might just go to bed. But I think it would be good for me to go workout, I'm just lazy though. OH! Another thing I did was organize my food and what not. I bagged everything in servings so I won't overeat and wrote down what I am going to be eating for the rest of the week. I am hoping organizing this way will help me lose weight:) We will see haha. 

Ugh, I just can't wait to be home for summer. I need a break from school, I am exhausted. All I want is to be home, having a bbq with my family and Nathan on a beautiful San Diego summer night, and be swimming and having fun and just being care free for a little bit. I need it. 

Soon though, soon:)

XOXO
