Thursday Night Mystery!

Last thursday night was a big mystery and a great time. I was home doing homework (seems like this is all I do lately) well all of a sudden I get a loud knock on my back door. Now this weird, no one comes to my door so I knew something was up. I open the door to find a plate of brownies on my doorstep with a little paper that read "Jenny many penny..My name is Bongo"

First clue, obviously not a close friend because my name was spelled wrong, but I knew that it had to be someone I knew (I got a plate of brownies before from a friend) So I called Dee and Joe who were my 2 suspects! Both promised me that they knew nothing about it. In the mean time, I kept getting knocks at my door and more plates...I got to the point where I was sitting in the hallway waiting for another knock..I was determined to catch and scare whoever it was haha

But with my amazing luck, everytime I gave up and went in my room, I got another knock...ARG I was so frustrated and I wanted to know who it was. I hate surprises..I like to know things!! I got a total of 5 plates of brownies..oh yeah I'm still eating them haha
Well after one of the last plates, I finally went and got shoes on...I was going outside to find out where they were hiding....when I walked outside someone came out from behind the bush but ran back again...I started after them, but they ran (so fast by the way) down the road. well I got one final plate and it was a easter peep and when I opened the door, someone was walking towards me and all of a sudden my friend comes around the corner, chases me into my house and throws a blanket over my head. Yes you guessed it..I was kidnapped once again! I was thrown over his shoulder and thrown in the car. Well it turns out is was Dee and Joe and my friend Brooke along with Dee's little sisters. Turns out it was close friends but they threw me off...They lied to me haha but all in good fun!

They had me going for about 30 min and it was so fun as much as I hate surpries...I wish I was on the other end of the deal...all I have to say is that I have some of the greatest friends in the world. They were trying to cheer me up and it definatly worked! I love you guys!!

All my brownies :)

Easter Weekend...escape to Colorado!

It was a great Easter weekend...I drove up to Mesa Wednesday night stayed with friends and flew out Thursday morning. My parents and Jasmine drove out and it worked out so they picked me up from the airport. It was a relaxing weekend with everyone. We figured out that we hadn't been out to Colorado in 5 years!!! My gosh...thats crazy. I laughed a lot and wish the weekend would've lasted longer.

Shopping fun, ultimate spoons, BLURT!, laughing, laughing and more laughing. The weekend was a perfect escape away from stressful school.
The game that takes over their lives when they get together...
My and my Momma!!
Fun at Target!! hehe
Turtle Buddies forever!!
Coyote Ugly! I was so happy!
Dying Easter Eggs!! Fun Fun
Me and my Daddy! Ultimate Spoons...brutal game but so fun!

Tucson Trip...live & learn!

Well I am continuing on applying to both PMI in Mesa and Tucson. I narrowed my decision down to the two pretty much, but this is where I'm stuck!! There are pros and cons to both and I know that either way I will gain a great education and will be with friends that will uplift me. Last thursday Dee and I drove to Tucson once again (I swear I have made this drive so much in the last month) I was meeting with my counselor again in hopes of pretty much finishing up any loose ends to my application process. I was hoping to receive some answers to how I felt about Tucson also, first time I went I was so excited and I felt at home. Then when I went to Mesa after that I just wasn't as excited..but after thursday my feelings have changed just a bit.

My meeting was at 2:30 pm so we left after our classes in the morning. On this trip we did not have her parents GPS system and we were a little nervous (anyone that knows Tucson knows that it is crazy with driving...roads are nuts there!) We got lost last time cause we started without the GPS thinking we could it, yeah learned fast enough that if we have the GPS we are going to use it. We exited off our exit and the first stoplight we came to was red so we stop still kinda worried about getting lost (It was on this road that we got lost last time) However, when the light turned green I stepped on the gas to find that my lovely car had stalled!!! oh yes in the middle of an intersection, tons of traffic mind you! I kinda started to panic not knowing what to do, but I turned on my flashers quick, I felt so bad for the cars behind me...Dee told me shut the car off then try it...lucky for us it started but seemed like it didn't want to go. Talk about a little bit more stress added to my day! 2 hours from home, not sure exactly where we were going and a car that was about to die on us!! Just my luck!

We did find our way to PMI without getting lost which made me so happy and a little less worried about that. I go to my meeting at 2:30, started to talk to my counselor, at first he didn't know what I was doing there (I had just talked to him on tuesday) He added up my points (that's how I am accepted, its all based on a point system) Well I did really well, and he is confident that I will be called back for the interview which will determine if I'm accepted or not....heres the catch...my interview will be around Nov or Dec!!! My program starts in March and I won't know if I'm accepted until Dec...how am I supposed to decide where to move to now?? Well I started asking as many questions as I had and he answered them so fast. Here's where I got annoyed even more, drove 2 hours there for a 10 minute meeting that in the end could have been done on the phone..live and learn I guess next time I will asking if I can take care of anything over the phone!
After my little tiny meeting, Dee and I drove to the house we would be living in...I absolutly love the house and the view that we have from the house!! And then we started our 2 hour drive back to Thatcher! oh it gets better though...just as we turned off the highway to head towards Safford, my car once again stalls at the stop sign, luckily no cars were behind me!

So needless to say, I am a little disappointed in the trip! I really didn't get the answers I wanted or any good news for that matter and my poor car is giving up on me...I've been talking to my dad about it and I might have to get a new fuel pump in it..but it still has a strong motor (haha right dad??) Here is a picture in front of PMI...I really excited to do this program but my decision has not gotten any easier!
