Well, it has been quite a long time since I have posted so it is about time that I do a quick update.
I am about to finish my third week back in school. It is a little rough getting back into the swing of things, but I am certainly enjoying myself. It is very interesting being one of the oldest people in all of my classes - especially when the other students find out that I am getting my masters degree and another bachelors...I think they may be a little bit intimidated. Tomorrow, is my first test in my Geography class which shouldn't be that bad. I truly believe that I am well prepared for it! Hopefully it will turn out the way I plan and I will be spending another semester on the dean's list!
The past couple of weekends I have spent in Green River hanging out with Fritz and playing poker. Last weekend I was only there for Saturday but it was certainly a good time. I conned Fritz and his roomie into grilling some steaks that I brought up. They were delicious!!! It has been a long time since I had a great steak and I was stuffed the rest of the night.
I do have to mention that it has been a little bit lonely in Laramie these past couple of weeks. Mel is up in Casper doing her student teaching but I am lucky that I still see her a fair amount of time because she catches rides down from Casper. This weekend she will be coming into town on Friday and then I will be taking her back up to Casper on Sunday. We plan on going to see a local band play in Centennial: Patti Fiasco!! Awesome band and it has been a while since we have all seen them play. Hopefully we can talk Mischkey to come too.
Even though it has been a bit lonely I have had a lot of time to get to know Powers a lot better and we have been watching Weeds on a weekly basis at her house. Also, I have been having a great time hanging out with Sean. Speaking of which, our bowling team is doing really well this part of the bowling season. We have two new people: Angie and Ryan Taylor.
hmmm... I guess nothing else new in my neck of the woods... hopefully I will have some pictures to post soon. AND hopefully there will be more interesting things to post...
muah!

I've been Gilmored...please don't do it again!
So this past week I took Batman and Sage to Omaha with me - due to an unforeseen emergency the Hayfords were dealing with. Thank goodness Aidan is out of the hospital now and is looking better- from what I can tell in the pictures! YAY!!
Omaha was a great time away from Laramie and i really needed it because i had to get some doctor's visits done and pick up more of my stuff from my parents house. I naturally went over to my Grandparents house for dinner...oddly enough my grandma was talking up a storm about one of my cousins friend...then as I am loading my truck up i receive a text message from my Aunt Mindy saying: "We are sitting at a bar with some really handsome nice college guys."
Really people...Really? While i understand and appreciate the fact that my family wants me to be happy I insist that they please do not continue to hook me up with guys. I have no problem whatsoever finding men in Laramie...thank you but no thank you!
ugh...
No much else new here in my world except i am starting school tomorrow!!! whoot whoot!

A weekend well spent-
It is about time that I finally write about the amazing weekend I had-especially since I am coming up on another weekend. I have been slacking.
To begin, Friday was an amazing night at bowling. My first game I bowled my regular average, right around the 70s. My second game...I GOT A TURKEY!!! For those of you who do not know what a turkey is-it is three strikes in a row! My score for the second game was 144. Naturally, my third game was right around my average again. Tomorrow is our tournament positioning round, meaning we may not be in last place anymore! :-)
After bowling Fritz finally made it into town and we hung out a little bit before it was obvious that I had enough. That wild turkey shot I had to take for my turkey in bowling really caught up with me. No I did not get sick just very buzzed!! It is whiskey! I just can't drink the stuff!!
Saturday, after Fritz and I rolled out of bed at around 11 or so we headed out for lunch at the Library and had a couple of beers. It was a good time just sitting and chatting each other up. It is nice to finally enjoy a man's company again, getting butterflies when he touches me, and just loving his smile and his eyes. I was very impressed when I went to pay for lunch that he basically demanded to put my credit card away. It was the tone of voice that told me that he was the man that likes to give and take. A MAJOR BLESSING! I've never been use to a man that stood his ground and I found it incredibly attractive. Of course, I have realized over the past single months (almost a year) that I need and want a strong man that isn't going to be afraid to stand his ground!
After we returned home to my house and taking a nap... because I was exhausted! He went to Jesse Brown's house (my friend and his friend that introduced us) to shower, while I did the same. He picked me up at roughly 7:30 after requesting that I wear a cleavage shirt- which I gladly did :-) (hey now you all know my nickname- I'm not scared!). We were heading to dinner when he mentioned that Jesse was trying to convince him to take me up to Lander. I, being spontaneous, said "Let's go!"
So that night we ended up in Lander, WY, hanging out with a bunch of his climbing friends. I thought this was going to be awkward and what not but it was a fantastic time!!!!!! I love being spontaneous again, really enjoying life, and just having fun!!
After this weekend, I have really been able to see how much I have really become the person I want to be. I enjoy having fun, smiling all the time, not being afraid of who I am because I am scared of the reaction a man will give me. The way I see it- if he doesn't like me for me, I plain and simple don't wanna be with him!
I really just can not explain the great time I had with Fritz this past weekend. I enjoyed the car ride to Lander and back just getting to know him. So far he seems like a total package...which those of you who are reading this probably know I rarely say that. In fact Stew-heart even said he hasn't seen me this happy with me and a dude in years!
An update on the next couple of weeks. Franzi my friend from Germany will be returning to Laramie on Saturday for a couple of weeks. I am very excited about this even though it was suppose to be Friday when I saw her but her flight got delayed in France (silly frogs!). This coming wednesday is my last day of work before returning to school in January. Thursday the 24th I will be going to Omaha with my friend Mel for Christmas and a couple of days (of course shopping for my New Years dress) and returning back to Laramie on the 27th or 28th. Then on the 29th or 30th (I can't remember) Fritz will be coming down to Laramie after his trip to Charlotte (where he is from) for New Years ( as you know my FAVORITE HOLIDAY - gold star, right?!).
Sadly, Mel will be moving to Casper for her student teaching and living with April Hicks up there, Franzi will leave to go back to Germany, Fritz will go back to Rock Springs, and I will be doing nothing, relaxing, and preparing for school.
Well I know i keep saying this but i promise to post pictures...Cindy loohoo you have to see this boy! :-)
Ciao!!

Yeah...im on an online dating site...
Well hello...long time no talk.
This quick little blog is just to admit...yes i am on an online dating site. Actually it is a lot of fun. I have yet to really meet anyone, but i have been talking to a lot of interesting guys. I have had a lot of responses even though i have been on the site for less then one week.
The reason why i joined this online dating site, is because I have been feeling like it is time to meet some more people. While it is easy to meet people (for me), I find myself meeting the same kind of people. So i have decided to reach out. Here are some of the ways that i am planning on reaching out:
1. I will be returning to Church this Sunday after quite some time - for reasons that do not need to be discussed.
2. Instead of reading at home (the many books on my list) i will be going to coal creek coffee to read during the week.
3. of course the online dating site
4. Going to a party by myself without any friends in tow. For example, i will be going to a friends party where he will be the only one i know by myself this friday after bowling. It couldn't hurt right?!
5 Finally, when i return to school i will not just return home right after class or between classes but will hang out in the library or in the union. I also plan to chat it up with some of my classmates after class. Hey who knows maybe i will even go to the gym? (that might be pushing it though- i like my workout tapes they are so much fun!)
Well that is my new thought on how i am going to try more things...
check ya later...
ps i will post a picture of my ugly sweater that i will be wearing this friday for the tacky sweater party...its actually pretty rockin! :)
