Everything that's happened to me the last year since i've written in a nutshell.

Hey, I know it's been over a year since I last posted anything and boy has alot changed since then. In April of last year me and some friends from work went to San Antonio to a place called "Big Lou's" to take on I think it was a 60" pizza. The slices were as long as my forearm, it was like eating 2 or 3 slices in one! with two slices each we managed to finish the whole pizza and man were we stuffed! On the way back since we were all crammed into a SUV I was sitting very close to Anthony (the friend I mentioned that I did the friend date with awhile back.) It was during that ride back that I realized that I actually did like him alot. Not to long after the pizza trip he told me that he was leaving target for Whole foods and I realized I was gonna have to tell him soon or lose the connection I had with him. In May me and Anthony went on a actual date to the Pecan street festival. It was a blast, we just walked around looking at all the vendors. We had frozen cheese cake on a stick that was fantastic. He bought me a bracelet and a necklace both of which I still treasure to this day. After the festival we went to a free comic book day thing at a place called Dragons Lair. That was awesome as well. We got a bunch of free comic books and got to see alot of cosplayers! So after that wonderful date he brought me back to my apartment and before he went home I gave him a letter that I had wrote for him to read when he got home. It was about how I felt about him. And I only had to wait about an hour before he texted me told me he still felt the same way. I was ecstatic to see his response! A couple of nights later we were starting the over night shift at work for a frozen market reset and he had asked me earlier that day if he could give me a ride to work that night, of course I said "sure!". So that night he picks me up for work and when we get there he says he has something he wants to tell me. Well that makes me nervous but I was eager to hear what he had to say. He then asks me if I would be his girlfriend and I of course said yes. During that same month after we had only been dating for a couple of weeks I asked him if he would like to move in with me since my former roommate Aleshia was moving out. And he said yes and it was at the end of the month when we started living together! We went very quickly I know. We went from friends to living together in less then a month! A little while after that he left target and started working at whole foods. He worked there for about six months I think before he decided he didn't like it there and came back to target in october. In September we went down to Floydada Texas for his cousin quinceanera. It was a long trip it took 6 hours to get there. When we got there I got to meet his grandmother and grandfather and a whole bunch of other family members. It was pretty fun, we got to dance together at the quinceanera and that was just really fun! It was great meeting a bunch of his family.In early October we went to six flags fiesta Texas, my very first time there! It was a blast! We went on a few rides, the most notable being the feriswheel at the end of the day. In late October for Halloween/ my 21st birthday we went downtown for my very first time and it was a blast! though it was also very crowded being Halloween and all. In December we celebrated both Yule and Christmas. Yule we celebrated just Me, him, my dad and my brother. That was pretty fun. On Christmas all of us celebrated at his parents house, we had a great time and everyone loved their gifts.In January of this year we helped my dad move to Burnett TX. That was a pretty good day. In February of this year we went out to dinner at the Longhorn steak house for valentines day. We had to wait I think it was an hour before we got seated. It was super busy as was to be expected on valentines day. Anyways, the food was excellent and well worth the wait. After dinner we went downtown to go dancing. So we went dancing and it was a blast! After all that we were pretty tuckered out and went to bed as soon as we got back home. It was I think in march that WE moved to a duplex that's not to far from where we previously lived. It's a pretty nice place. We have much more space now and a nice big kitchen! Mango also seems to love it here. It's also abit closer to work which is really nice. Since we moved not to much has happened. We went to Carlsbad New Mexico in may for another of his cousins high school graduation. While there we also went to the Carlsbad caverns. That was really cool and fun! For fathers day we went over to his parents house for a barbecue and my dad and Eldin came over too. That was a really fun day with lots of food and games and celebrating. So living together has been going pretty good, just a few up and downs every now and then but not enough to matter. So far we've been together for a little over a year now and plan on it being for life. And other then the crazy work schedule we've had lately, that's all that's been going on in the year since I've written. Hope you enjoyed the update and TTYL. :-)

Work, Overnight shift, Cosmetics, Kids and the Fair.

The last few weeks have been very busy. Work has been hectic since we lost two of our presentation team members. We have a new team member called Cris. She seems pretty cool so far. She's a great worker and her being there has helped with the workload somewhat. If she hadn't come in when she did, We would of been absolutely swamped with work! Up until just this week, We've been about three days worth of work behind. Ya know how we're the ones responsible for setting up the aisles and putting out the new product? Well, for the last three weeks up until today, We haven't been pulling the product ourselves for the aisles we just set. We've been having to have help from other teams, That's how far behind we were. The last two weeks before this one was when we had so much work to do that they ACTUALLY payed us overtime. The reason we've been struggling the last couple of weeks is because we've been setting HBA (Health and Beauty). So, the week before last was when we set most of the aisles of Shampoo and stuff like that. Than last week we set various areas, mostly HBA. We set the bath and body works, The perfume and the hair accessories. We also set some of the Intimates the end of last week. This week we set all of the cosmetics. So to have enough time to set it all we worked four 10 hour shifts. On Sunday and Monday we came in at 10:30pm and didn't leave until 9:00am. Then we came in on Wednesday at 3am and didn't leave until 1:30pm. And today (Thursday) we came in a little later at 3:30am because it's pointless to come in early if you have to just sit there for 20 minutes while you wait for them to try and figure out how to override the lights and get them turned back on, Especially when they come on automatically at 3:30am anyway. And we didn't leave until a little after 1pm. We set all of mens socks and the mens hats and belts today. Then we went and did some revisions over in toys. That was not fun! Ya know since it's spring break and all, We had little kids everywhere! They made a mess of the toy aisles. Cris was having THE hardest time out of all of us. She actually had kids purposefully putting toys in her way, They were messing up what she had JUST organized and ya know the labels that go above the hanging product? Well they come on a sheet that has perforated edges. Well one of the kids came over, Grabbed the sheet of labels and tore it in half down the middle! And it wasn't even along the perforated edges! So she had to go all the way to the backroom and print more labels. I can't believe people will just let there kids run wild like that! I would never let my kids do that! So as you may of been able to guess, We've been absolutely exhausted the last 3 weeks. I've been so tired this week that when I would sit down in the break-room for lunch, I would actually start falling asleep. I could literally NOT keep my eyes open! Yesterday and today during lunch I actually dropped my phone because of it. My grip would loosen for just a second and there it went, Clattering to the floor. Poor phone. So I'm pretty happy that I have the next 3 days off. I can sleep as much as I want! After I got home today, I took a 2 hour nap without meaning to. I just sat down and the next thing I know, It's 4pm already. Then I head over to daddys house hangout for a bit before all three of us go to the park to play Frisbee. That was really fun, We haven't done that in a long time! Speaking of fun, We went and checked out the Texas Rodeo and fair the other day. That was awesome! I hadn't been to a fair in many many years. We only rode one ride, But we're all going back on Saturday and we're going to get the all you can ride bracelets and thoroughly enjoy ourselves! As you can tell, I'm really looking forward to it. Aleshia gets back from Springfield MO tomorrow night. She left last Friday night on a bus to visit her family. So she's been gone for a week! Since she's been gone, I've been sleeping on the sofa with mango because that's the only time this week that I've had to spend with him. He has enjoyed it very much! Sleeping on the sofa is also partly why I've been so tired this week. Getting your sleep on a sofa is not nearly as restful as in a bed. But I'll be sleeping there one more night, Then it's back to sleeping in my bed. YAY!!! Another part of why I've been so tired, Especially this week is because me and daddy have started using the gym everyday. We wanna start getting in better shape. Plus we've discovered that you feel a lot better after you workout!

Well I gotta go, Dinner is ready and I'm Starving!! See ya later and I hope you enjoyed hearing what I've been up to :-).

P.S. Here's a pic of the one ride we did get to go on. 

TTYL.

Tricker-treating, Le cordon Bleu, Work and Apartment hunting

In October I applied to go to Le Cordon Bleu and take there Baking and Patisserie class. So far everything is covered. I got enough financial aid to get me through the first seven months of school. I'll be starting in January. The only hitch right now is the corporate is wanting more info on my homeschool diploma. So I have to get daddy to make some me Homeschool Transcripts so that I can get that little problem out of the way. Then I just have to take the wonder-lick test and I'll be all set to go!

On Halloween we all went Tricker-Treating. Me and Aleshia went as different Goddesses. Aleshia went as Athena, And I don't remember what mine was called. The dress I wore still touched the ground even though I was wearing 4'5" heels. It was pretty fun, Though kinda weird doing it at the age of 20 lol. We went to a few houses and called it good. Then we came home and decided between the four of us what all we each wanted and then proceeded to eat most of it in one night.

Work has been going well, We've been setting Christmas stuff the last couples Of weeks. Last week I took a short fall off of one of the ladders in the backroom and hit my ankle against a "Tub" that I was loading with stuff to take to the floor. I didn't seriously injure myself, But my ankle is still a little bruised and sore. And than Friday I injured my elbow slightly carrying some shelves to an end-cap. I was carrying two of them with one hand and apparently that was to much for my elbow.

Me and Aleshia applied for our own apartment here in Austin! Everything is paid for, All the deposits are done. All we have to do is sign the lease, Switch the electric over to one of our names and get renters insurance. We're getting one in the same apartment complex as we live in now. Move-in date is Nov. 27 and we are very excited!! It'll be on the third floor, I've always wanted to live in a top floor apartment and now I finally get to!! We're going to start packing here real soon, Just as soon as we pick up some boxes.

Online dating, Tennis and Busy, busy city life

Hello :). The last couple of weeks have been very busy. On or around the 10th, I created a user account on Okcupid.com, And put that I was bisexual. I've made friends with a few of the guys that messaged me on there, And blocked a few because they were douchbags that only wanted sex.

On the 12th I went on a bowling date with a unschooler that I met on there. He's a pretty good guy i guess :). The bowling was pretty fun, I was beaten by about 20-30 points :P. The bowling ally  we went to was much fancier then the onw i was used to in buffalo. It had cool graphics that played across the screne when you scored and it had scenceres on the line so that if your foot went over the line you got an automatic fail on that turn. It was a pretty cool place :). Afterwords I went to try some pot at his apartment(i know, bad idea to go to a guys apartment when you've just met them), And it was in his bedroom no-less! Anyway, the pot did nothing to me, seeing as it was my first time smoking it and that was a possibility. I did inhale some ash that burned my throat though. That really hurt! After that he brought me home and it was fairly uneventful the rest of the day :).

On the 14th we went and spent a large part of the day at Lakeline mall. We did some clothes shopping, After much browsing, I got a Beautiful dress, Some strappy high-heels from payless and a rainbow pride wrist warmer from spencers. After the mall, We went to Savers. Daddy got a nice pair of pants and a nice shirt, And I got a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt. We then came home and I spent some time trying to take a good picture of my dress and heels by myself, Then I gave up on that and asked daddy to take the picture. The pic turned out really well :).

I think it was the 17th when me and daddy went and bought a couple of tennis rackets and some tennis balls. We then went to Patterson park and played some tennis. That was really fun! Neither one of us played very well, But we still had a blast!

On the 18th Daddy had a doctors appt to have a spot on his ear looked at. Afterwards I think we came home, ate with eldin and then went to Patterson park to play some tennis with all three of us! We probably played for over an hour. Then we came back and went to Jack-in-the-box for supper. Afterwards we went to the Unschoolers support meeting and talked with some friends there for a few hours.

The next day on the 19th I had a date with another guy I'd met online at okcupid. We had our date at Barton creek mall. We walked around and he bought me a t-shirt from Hottopic. Then we walked around some more and looked at a couple of aquariums that the mall had. We Ended the date at the food court after we had lunch. Overall it was a pretty good date :). Afterwards we(me, daddy and eldin) came home and relaxed for a little bit before heading out to Givens park to play some tennis. It's very nice park. We kept score this time. First was eldin vs daddy, daddy was beaten 3-0. Then I played Eldin, To which I also lost 3-0. Then after a break, I played daddy. I lost completely 3-0 to him too. During the last match between eldin and daddy it started to rain, which was a nice break from the heat. Daddy actually won one of the games this time! It made their final match 2-1 with eldin winning. After that we went home. And it was that very same day that I came out as gay publicly on facebook. The guy I had a date with that day, understood and still wanted to be friends, for which I was relieved :).

On the 20th, We went to pool day at reed park. It was pretty fun. I got to see my friend cela there this time. I was very happy to see her :). I also made chili for supper, But seeing as it wasn't ready when we got back, We picked up eldin and went to Jack-in-the-box for supper.

Today, the 21st, We had chili for breakfast instead of our usual Burger and bacon. Daddy had a doctors appt with Dr.Dano to have a couple spots on his head freezed. Then we went to a pool party one of the Unschoolers was holding and spent a couple of hours there talking with some friends we hadn't seen before/hadn't seen in a while. That was pretty fun :). The rest of the day has been spent relaxing at home with our computers :).

Well, That's been my life the last couple of weeks :). And I'm very tired from it all! It's been fun though, for sure. TTYL =D.

Karaoke in dallas and fun in Austin

Lets see, what's happened since I last posted... Late last month (may) Me and my Father drove down to dallas tx to watch my cousin Allison's performance in the karaoke semi-finales! She made it through to the finales! She was amazing!! and she's only 10! We stayed the night at their place since the semifinales were from 7:30pm to 10:00pm and it was a 3hr drive from Austin to Dallas. I was so proud to know her! When we got home the next day, We went down to the front office of the apt complex for a Ice cream social. The Ice cream was  delicious!

Since then, We've went to play pool at slick willies pool hall a couple of times. Last time I only won once! And it was by default! :). This last park day turned into a pool day. The pool was HUGE! It went from three foot deep in the shallow end to 12 foot deep in the diving area, It had to lanes for lap swimmers, and it was Frickin Huge!! LOL. :P. Not to long after we got to the pool, a bus load of kids got there. It got very loud very quickly. But we enjoyed ourselves hanging out with some of the other homeschooler/unschoolers.

Oh I almost forgot to mention, The week after the semi-finales in the karaoke contest....... Allison won the finales!!!!! YAY!!! We've also gone to Zilker park a few times and played Frisbee with our Frisbee ring.

Yesterday, We went to the Blanton Art Museum in downtown Austin. I had never been to an art museum before. It was pretty awesome! We walked around for 2hrs looking at a bunch of the art displays.

Lately I've been playing a game called"The legend of Zelda: Skyward sword". After over 30hrs of game-play, I'm almost finished with it. I just have one last boss area to complete. It's the final boss(Of course). And the final boss is always the hardest.

I have been cutting out sugar from my diet since wednesday. So far I'm doing pretty good, It's been hard though, What with Ice pops being just inside the freezer and cookies just down the way in the front office. But It's so worth it! I feel so much better when I don't eat sugar. :).

I'm still looking for work, Though admittedly not as hard as I could be looking.

Well, That's all I can think of for now. TTFN!

Random Ramblings and Looking for work.

Hi, Long time no write :-P. We have settled in pretty well to our new life in Austin Texas. It's been hard adjusting to life without mama but we're doing it. We went to Zilker park a few days ago and loved it. It's such a pretty park. We tried to play Frisbee but 1. it was to windy and 2. we were trying to play with a .98cents Frisbee. So that didn't work out too well. But then we went and walked along the hiking path and a pedestrian bridge across the river. We got to see people kayaking and river surfing which was awesome! We also saw a White crane/Egret thing on a branch near the water. So that was a fun day! Now we have a better Frisbee but the weather hasn't cooperated with us, so we haven't been able to play Frisbee yet.


Every other day we go down to the workout room and exercise. Otherwise we hang out at the apartment or in the hot-tub, and sometimes we go to the store.

We walked down to the library yesterday. It was a really nice library :).  It even had Manga that I've heard of before and It also had a Dog Bible which I thought was cool.


Today is workout day so we will be doing that later. Earlier today we went and checked out a arcade called Pinballz, It was pretty awesome!


I have been looking for work for a month now though I haven't been looking very hard. All I've done so far is put applications in online. Today I put in a few applications to Starbucks. If they haven't called in a few days I will go in and do a follow up in person on my application. If they don't have any positions available I'll do the same at McDonald's and Taco-bell and Pizza hut in turn. So I will be trying much harder now to get a job.


We just got our apartment sprayed against roaches earlier today, Since we keep seeing one here and one there Daddy decided that we should tell the apartment head and they sent a person out here to spray along the baseboards. Well that's about all that's been going on for now. Bye Bye and Thanks for reading <3.
