So, two days ago, bobby and I had the day off together and we started out looking for a bookcase for our bedroom since we have too many books now ;). So, we went to a bunch of furniture stores and when we were at Ashley's Furniture we found a really awesome comfy smaller couch set than the ones that we have. We really wanted it. It was about 800 bucks and it was really nice. :) We told the sales rep. we'd come back on Friday to pay for it. So then we started driving...and then we started to drive near best buy. Our minds changed to wanting a TV rather than a couch right now...
So---we bought a freaking AWESOME tv :) :) Its bigger than our Entertainment Center will hold, but that's ok. :) It's BEAUTIFUL!!! I love it. Bobby and I have been watching sooo many tv shows and playing so many videogames just because we are in such awe of this awesome tv! We got it for $800 at Target. :D
I love it. :) That is our one big purchase for the year. This TV is awesome!! :) :)

Government...
So my grades on my exams thus far...
Marriage and Family Relations: 92.5%
Basic Nutrition: 85%
U.S. History to 1865: 104%
American National Government:.....i don't want to say...X[
I haven't gotten the grade back for Government, but I can safely say that I failed it. I'm so afraid to find out the actual grade...
I'm so infuriated with my Gov. teacher. She knows her stuff, but she talks way too fast, and can't put out key points we need to know for our test. She goes off on tangents and then skips out over important stuff we need to know for the test. She just...SUCKS! I've never had worse teacher before. She's even worse than Mrs. Scott from sixth grade (ick...)
It bothers me. I really wish I could drop it. i dont like her teaching style. But I cant drop. Bob has to stay for the full semester as a full time student, or else he'll owe money back to the gov. for dropping out of the entire semester last spring.
ugggh. I don't like government. it's evil. Especially my teacher. Her tests were wayyy too wordy and couldn't get to the point of the question. IT WAS SO DIFFICULT!

College
I haven't written in here for awhile! Sorry :(
So, college is AWESOME!
I love it! It's really exciting to listen to the lectures in class and to learn new things.
My first class Marriage and Family Relations is really interesting, although I have a crappy teacher who can't speak English very well, and doesn't know how to give lectures properly, I still like listening to it and learning more about marriage customs and everything. It was really funny, the first day of lectures we started talking about Fundamentalists Mormons and how they practice polygyny (one man, two or more wives). It was really interesting to read about it my textbook and hear the lecture in class and how their normal lives go. It's so messed up. Bob and I were kind of chuckling about it in class.
In U.S. History to 1865, my teacher is AWESOME!! (tiffany--if you remember Mrs. Rogeau & Mr. Johnson, she's kind of like a mix of them, but better. Her lectures are like a continuous story and she's got these crazy antics and hilarious side stories. It's a great class! It's extremely easy.
My American National Government class is a tough cookie. A lot more is involved, but it's really interesting to read about goverment and all these different perspectives that we discuss in class. My teacher is obsessed with her job and teaches pretty well, although she talks extremely fast. We have a couple of essays to write, and current event pop quizzes every now and then, so I have read the New York Times alot.
My Basic Nutrition online class is a piece of cake. Just read the material in the textbook, do the reviews, do the practice quizzes which i'm getting A's on. :) easy easy easy. it has made me quite aware though of how terrible fast food is for you, and it's making me be more cautious about what foods to buy at the grocery stores and it's helping me eat more healthy :)
Yay. Those are my classes. every tuesday and thursday. Interesting, and enough to keep me busy most of the time. I love having these classes with Bobby! It's so nice having someone in the class that you know very well and you don't feel so awkward. Bobby says I'm really helping him want to learn more and he feels more driven about studying. :) :) Yay!!! (He used to hate school).
So life is good with college. We are determined to never miss a class. And i'm really wanting to join the honor society at the college. I have to maintain a GPA of 3.5, if I can get that this semester, I can be eligible to join. We'll see how the semester goes :)
Me and Bobby's anniversary went really well, we went around shopping for awhile and thinking of a future home and everything (after marriage of course...whenever that will be? next year? two years?) and he took me out to Olive Garden. He also bought me a beautiful blue gemmed necklace from JCPenney. He also got me the 4th season of Grey's Anatomy, and Night at the Roxbury!!!! :D He also got me a dozen of beautiful pink rimmed roses and an awesome swiss chocolate bar. (He goes wayyy out for me. :P) I really wish he would trim it down a bit. :/ I feel really bad that he's spending this money on me when he doesnt have to in the least!
So, yay! Bobby and I have been together for over a year now :) We are both extremely happy :]
Bobby is going out of town tomorrow to his family reunion (which I can't go to :( i couldn't get labor day weekend off when we are also opening IMAX today!) So he will be in Quanna for saturday and sunday. *First time to sleep in the apartment alone...i'm kinda freaked out*
During the weekend I'm hoping to get all my homework done and deep clean the apartment. :D
And then spend the rest of my time, finally having some alone time to play my amazing zelda games and chilling. :D
I'd better get working on these dishes...

Winstar!
Hehehehe.
So, Bob, Mackenzie, and I went on a spur of the moment escapade to the Winstar Casino in Oklahoma, after we went to the Rangers game in arlington.
It's the second time i've been there now, and they added a completely new wing full of new slot machines and other gambling games. It was soooo cool looking. ( of course, where do you think they get the money?)
Well, we all played the penny slot machines...and I WON 15 DOLLARS :)
I was so excited!! :) It was freaking awesome! :D I only put 5 bucks into playing the penny slots, and within an hour i got 15 bucks. it was pretty sweet! (of course, I know my limits of what to spend for slot machines.)
...yeah, it was fun, and it was cool to make money. (Last time, I lost 10 bucks...lame.)

Zelda=Most epic game play ever!!!
I JUST BEAT THIS GAME!!! ^^^^^
I know i'm sounding like a hardcore zelda nerd in this blog, but I'm becoming more obsessed with it!
An awesome feature on my Wii is the Wii Shop Channel which allows you to purchase and download new wii games, and virtual console games from previous Gameplay systems such as NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genisis, etc.
So, what have I been doing with some of my down time??
Downloading and playing old Zelda games!! :) :) I beat "A Link to the Past" and am working on "The Ocarina of Time"
I've been cheating though...but only because I want the full game experience of finding everything there is to find in each game! :)
This website is the BEST cheat site EVER made for all the zelda games:
Once I beat the Ocarina of Time, i'm going to download the first and very original "Legend of Zelda"
oooh!!! I'm sooooo excited!!! I really want to beat every zelda game ever created!! :) :)

Turner Falls
After working through six days of 10 hour shifts straight and not getting home until 3 am every night, I finally got a break of 3 days off of work. Bobby and I went to Turner Falls, OK with his half brother Keith, and wife Danielle, with their two kids Connor and Christopher, and Bobby's brother Chad.
We got there around 9pm on Wednesday night and set up camp in the dark. When we were finally able to lay down and sleep it was a little past midnight and we both had to sleep on the hard floor with rocks underneath us. My back was killing me that whole trip... But, during that first night, coyotes were howling and raccoons were knocking down the trash can right near me and bobby's tent and it sounded like they were breakdancing in the trashcan for two hours. It was very annoying and loud.
The next morning, we rockclimbed up the side of a mountain, and once we reached the top, we went into the "robber's cave" and sat and relaxed for a minute. We then went back to camp and ate lunch and then all got into our swimwear and headed out to the Blue Hole which is a natural swimming hole at the bottom of the falls. it was SOOO nice and COOL. and there was a metal water slide and a diving borard at the other end. it was SOOOOO much fun!! It was the first time bobby and i have ever swam together and it was great! He was holding me almost the whole time, and I felt weightless with me in his arms and being in the water. It was great :) :)
That night we slept in our tent again and the Coons came back to the trash can to try and tip it over, but danielle very cunningly put a huge metal grill on top of it so that they wouldn't be able to tip it over. ...Well, lots of banging happened in the middle of the night, and they finally tipped it over..except it was only one raccoon this time. But the grill fell right in front of the trash can lid when it tipped over and the coon wasn't able to get the lid off of the trash can. hahaha. it was fun to watch.
Anyhow, we swam some more the next day and then bobby and i came home.
It was a trip much needed and good memories were formed from it. :) :) yay!

and now a close friend dies...
What is up with death this year? This is the third death i've had to cope with in the past 2 months, and it's really getting to me now. We are so lucky to be living right now. We could die any minute and not know our lives are over in one minute.
My friend, and ex-manager Aaron Wuensch, died on June 9th. He was only 24. He suffered from cardiac arrest while working out at a gym. It seems so fucked up. Who would think they would die that way ...right then? What makes it even more unbelievable and so hard to consume, is that i JUST saw him at work about a week ago. He was looking healthy and fit, about to go see 17 again with some friends for the hell of it. I just can't wrap my mind around this. His mother and sister work at the theatre i work at, and his mom is the sweetest person ever, it's so terrible to see her broken up like this.
Life is so short. We are so fragile. It's insane that I've lived this far.
