Idiot, Party of One

This past week has been crazy. Mikey and I, along with our friends Coby and Krystina, have been looking for a house. Monday we found the cutest four bedroom house, but the next morning when I went to turn in our application, someone had already signed the lease :( We found another house, and I fell IN LOVE with it. We looked at it with the Realtor, at five Wednesday night. We told her we wanted it, and she said to bring in the application form the next morning. So the next morning, I call to see if the application fee had to be in a money order or if I could pay in cash. {This was at like 9 am} The lady said that the property we looked at wasn't available anymore. I told her we had just looked at it last night, and were told we could get going on the application. The lady proceeded to tell me that the lease was signed last night at five. As we were there looking at it. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?? No one could have picked up the phone to call and tell the Realtor that a lease had been signed? Ugh. I was told that if for some reason it didn't work out, they would call me and let me know. So today, during work, I got a call. The property was available, and I was first in line to get my application in. I couldn't get in until about 3:30 {this was at 2}. At 3:30, I was two seconds away, and called to figure out where there office was. The Realtor proceeded to tell me that they had just singed the lease 20 minutes ago. AGAIN, ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME??!?!?!? Someone had come in wanting it right away, and so they ran their credit and let them sign the lease. I was told it was a "first come, first serve" basis. Except for the freaking fact that they told me I was first in line for it. People are idiots.

I Love You!

"There's a feeling that i get, when we are a part. It starts out rather small, then spreads throughout my heart. Every time your gone, a part of me is too, it's like a normal reflex and there's nothing i can do. Your my other half, you make my heart complete, and when you say "i love you" it sweeps me off my feet. You are the finish of my smile, the shining in my eyes, you know my strenghts and weaknesses, you understand my cries. You help me out with everything, you listen to my dreams, and when there's not a word to say, your shoulders where i lean. I know I'll never be alone, not with you by my side. When i need you the most, i know your arms are open wide. How'd i get so lucky, you really just don't see, how special it is to love someone, and know they love you back. i want to let you know, there's no doubt we'll make it through, in my world you are everything and i will always love you!!"

A to Z Blogging Challenge

While blog surfing for summer bucket list ideas [[that's a later post..]], I came across this blogging challenge. I'm stoked. Every day in April, except Sundays, I'll post according to the letter of the day. 26 days. 26 letters. Oh boy.

I can post essays, short pieces of fiction, poetry, recipes, travel sketches, or anything else I want to write about, or I can simply post a picture.

This is no small blog challenge either. There are over 500 blogs participating. If you click on the picture, it should take you to the blogger who is hosting the challenge. If not, the blog address is

Happiness!

I FINALLY got a job! I'll be working at Smith's Marketplace starting next week! This couldn't have come at a better time..because as much as I love my mom...I HATE living at her house. Nothing is child proof, and Makayla gets into EVERYTHING. I'm house hunting today so I can hopefully be out of my mom's by the end of the week!
