Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forgive the ones who didn't. Believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it! If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it would be easy. They just promised it would be worth it.

Settling into the groove...



































So work is keeping me busy. I am finally adjusted to my crazy schedule, so I now have time to play and get things done without missing my bed too bad.

We went on a trip to Sisters and Bend two weekends ago with a big group of our closest friends. We all got dressed up for a themed party we threw called rednecks vs. ski yuppies. Let's just say that we are way better at being rednecks than yuppies in our group of friends.

Valentine's day was on Saturday. Dave made me breakfast (it was sooooo good!), and then we went on a fun bike race together called an Ally Cat. It's like a scavenger hunt, only on bikes at night. It was way fun! One of the things we had to complete was "getting married" at the courthouse. We had to take off our front wheels of our bikes and exchange them when we exchanged our vows. We even got an unofficial marriage license. Haha. After that we met up with a group of our friends and went to one of our favorite bars, called the Crowbar.

I work about 35 hours this week. Yay! Hopefully it won't wear me out too much.

February?!

Time flies by now that I'm so busy keeping my work schedule straight. I'm either up really really early to open or up around 9 am to get ready for my closing shift. It leaves me little time to get other things done. And I have been really tired all the time, but it's getting better. When I first started doing opening shifts, I would come home around 1 or 2 in the afternoon and sleep until 4 or 5. It was like I was a vampire or something, only being up and out when it was dark. I am able to stay awake now, until about 8, then I crash hard.

Speaking of vampires, just this morning I finished reading the third of four books in the Twilight series. My friend Emma asked me to go see the movie with her, so Alissa and I went. Neither Lissa or I had read any of the books, but Emma had been reading the fourth at the time. We were so intrigued by the movie that both of us wanted to read the books. Since then they have been consuming what little free time I have had. I don't know what it is, but they are really hard to put down!! If you love getting lost in a good book, you may want to try Twilight out.

When I'm not making delicious coffee, sleeping, or reading about vampires, I do get out and about! I cut my hair really short about a month ago. I love it, and I might go even shorter next time! I also got my nose pierced. I figured, "why not?!" I can take it out if I ever wanted to get rid of it, and I think it looks good on me. Most people who know me really well didn't even notice at first. haha.
