Off to the Coast

Today I'll be getting ready for us to go to the coast this weekend. A big thanks to my mom for suggesting it and then giving us this double birthday present. We also are bringing the dogs with us. Hopefully it won't rain too much. I'm bringing the camera and taking pictures...if the rain let's me. That's a promise to myself.

The update on the itouch and laptop is that when Johnny came home he fixed it right up. I'm definitely going to miss him while he's gone. Who will come to my rescue when I have an electronic problem? Hopefully I won't have any major ones..lol.

I'll show off some pictures of the coast when we get back...hope everyone else has a good weekend!

ipod touch

Johnny had this crazy idea for us to both get ipod touch's. Yesterday I went out and purchased both of them. It is exactly like an iphone with all sorts of applications to chose from, it's just not a phone. I am trying to figure out how, if it is possible to write a blog and post it from the itouch. Once I figure it out all the way it's going to be a blast.

Ohh and once I figure out what's wrong with the laptop to get my music off of it and onto my itouch that will be nice too. We usually keep our laptop on all the time. Probably not a good thing. I turned it off on Thursday since Johnny isn't home this weekend, drill. When I got home with the itouchs I tried turning on the laptop and the screen doesn't work. Hopefully it's a quick fix because we just spent a good amount of money putting more ram into it. Plus I have things that I need to get off of it. Grrr...hopefully it's something nice and easy because I would hate to here that it's a loss and to just get a new one. Johnny intended to take it with him to Iraq too.

Life happens in funny ways.

Playing in the Rain

I took the dogs to the dog park on Sunday. I forgot the camera so no pics but boy oh boy what a mess they had made of themselves. Covered in mud from paws to tummy to face. But they had a blast. I wasn't sure I wanted to go then told myself I had too. The dogs haven't been to the park in months. What a blast it was. Next time I go I'll remember my camera. Although there are a lot of blogs that I say that in. haha.

Looking back on February

Here we are a day left in February. Isn't amazing to look up at the calendar and see what you did. I look up and go did that really happen. Life certainly goes fast. We had a few celebrations this month including Johnny's. But others that turned another year were my dad, Johnny's nephew and I think a friend's baby turned two. But we don't see each other alot.

We double dated for Valentine's Day with Austin and Cass. That was fun. Although I could have done without the gun show in Portland. But Johnny did find a pistol that we took home. And we got our taxes done this month. These are the highlights of the Samuel's February. I hope everybody else's was memorable in someway or another. Here's to March!

Johnny's 29th Birthday

For Johnny's birthday we didn't do anything exciting. Unless you call having your mom come over and cook for you exciting. Although it is exciting for me because I don't like to cook all the time. We had a yummy cheese enchilada casserole. It was so good we had it for leftovers the next night as well.

If any of you are wondering what date Johnny's bday is because you must have forgotten it, it is the 17th. Ohh and I was talking to my mom about it being Johnny's birthday and she has offered to pay for a hotel on the coast for the weekend. Thanks Mom, we are going in March. It is suppose to be a birthday present for the both of us. My birthday is in April.

Mom's are the best. I'm grateful for mine and Johnny's both. I don't know what I would do without them. I'm glad that we can still lean on them a little bit every once and a while.

How's your week...

Sitting here this evening and thinking back on the craziness of the week. Monday and Tuesday were nice and normal. Wednesday I got called in to work at the LBCC preschool. I worked until six and somehow was suppose to be in a class at six too. I was on campus to say the least for too long on Wednesday. Thursday I worked a full day and then went to dinner with Johnny and his mom and friend and his now fiancee. Friday I worked a full day then babysat a child that was in my classroom that evening. On Saturday, or Valentine's Day, Austin and Cass joined Johnny and I up to Portland. We went up to Powell's Books and then ate at Sweet Tomatoes and then ended up at Fry's. Today I relaxed, cleaned the living room and then babysat this afternoon and evening. But tomorrow is all for me. I can't wait. I feel bad for the dogs because Johnny was away most of the time I was. He was socializing with friends. Tomorrow I'm going to spoil the dogs with some new toys. I feel totally guilty for leaving them beyond hours that they should be left at home. I'm sorry Mollie and Daisy...hopefully the rest of this month won't be as busy.

Just had to type out my busyness. Make sure it was real I guess. So much to think about right now it's amazing how I just go with the flow of the day and end up in my bed each night.

Funny Things

I just had to share because I'm sure it has happened to someone else too. I recently replaced my headlights in the car. I get the ultra lights that are much brighter than the regular headlights. It helps out when I'm driving home on the highways because the highways themselves don't have lights on the roads. Coming into town I got flashed. As if to say my high beams are on, but there not. My question is: how should I respond back to the car coming toward me? Do I actually show them my high beams or let them think that I'm not paying attention to me? I have been wondering this for a while. I didn't car to respond tonight but once I get really irritated I'll eventually start showing my high beams. It was a nice jester but if I don't respond the first time why flash me again?

My mom is going to Phoenix this week to watch the premiere of my Uncle's movie. A documentary of music. Drums is the focus point. At least I think. I can't wait to here how it was. If life wasn't so busy at the moment it would have been great to go too.

Nothing else to update on. Just filling up my calendar just as fast as I did last month. I know it will slow down for summer since neither of my jobs will be open then. But I am now looking for a more permanent job. Going from place to place during the week isn't as fun and thrilling as I thought it would be. Sometimes it can be a headache. Again my motto for life right now is: you live and learn. I sure am doing a lot of it right now :0)
