work

some days, work is so much fun, and other days, it is a complete bore! today was fun- alot of friendly people came in. i had conversations about teacups, businesses round about, purses, clothes, etc. it also helps to have a good book for the in-between times.

today i went to the sherman gardens for lunch. i went with 5 cousins/aunts etc. the gardens were lovely! full of plants youve never seen before! it must have been fun for God to make all the different kinds.
before i left for lunch though, i saw my daddy walk! the first tome i can remember!

lately

well, most importantly, i am an aunt! heather and nathan got a puppy. a bull terrier- margo!

i was also painting with a maniac.

i went to the beach twice with all of my cousins, etc. a group of about 20.

i bbsat this little boy. he had SO MUCH HAIR!!! his name is max. his sister is 9 months, name is clara.

this week

has been so busy and so enjoyable. monday and wednesday, i went to danielle's house to paint her room, tuesday and thursday, i went to the beach with my cousins. each time with a group of about 20 people. today i read jane eyre- a book i love, and bbsat for a new family, i'll post more on that later, most likely. tomorrow i work at the store, and am supposed to go to danielle's to make sure she finished her room. i told her i would, and completely forgot i had to work, so i'll go afterwards.

i dug a hole and now i am sore!!!

manhattan

i totally wiped out at the beach today. i was chasing jim, ran into the water, stepped in a hole and did a belly flop! it didn't hurt, though, and was actually quite fun. it was funny, though, because calvin did the same thing, but he flipped on his back! i love the beach. i will hopefully be able to go 1 or 2 times next week, too.

the vintage emporium

i love it when elderly people come into the store when im working. they are usually the more talkative people, and they have great stories! they all come in and say "i used to have this!" and then they will launch into a story about other things they used to own. one guy just came in and was telling me about his salsbury scooter, and about some famous singer, and about when he was 15.

7/18

i woke up this morning at about 8. i have been house sitting, so i took care of everything at the house before coming home. at 9:30, i drove to the deal's house. they have two boys, and today, they also had a friend over. i babysat them from 9:30 to 12:00. we went down to play at the park. there was this really cute boy! latino, with wavy brown hair. he was playing on the playground, whne all of a sudden he was dangling over the edge, he must have slipped off. naturally i freaked, and ran over to lift him down, and then he came to visit me on my bench. i think he mainly wanted my food, but i wasn't about to give him anything. one of the kids i was bbsitting was bored after 3 minutes! i hate it when kids don't want to play outside. then we walked home, and i left. for lunch, i had a date with a couple other people at bj's so i headed over that way. lunch was fun, and as we walked out, we saw this group of valley kids (i hate seeing people i know places). then, driving home, i saw bethany and aaron! so i guess aaron wanted to hang out with that group of people, so bethany drove him over. what a good sister :P
now, i am supposed to be working on my english project. i am forcing myself to finish it before the end of the week! overall a fantastic day.

my timeline

life is pretty good rightnow. i have worked two days recently, plus i will have bbsat twice by saturday, plus im house sitting. i go over to the house and sleep every night with 2 dogs. these are the most annoying dogs ever! but it is worth it. i might go to the beach tomorrow. i just had dinner with joseph, and conversation was hilarious. i may see ashley in the next 2-3 weeks. i may be having lunch on thursday with some friends and mrs cortez. i don't know what else has been going on, but it has been fun!
oh, yesterday, i went with my mom to one of our '70s stores. they have a head i really like. then we went to the goodwill across the street, and i found a word. inspire! one word that can mean so much.
i also have been talking to my grandparents. i love talking to them. i learned that when my g-ma was about 18, she was almost in the roseparade, but her employer wouldn't let her. and i was talking to my g-pa about his uncle's restaurant.
if one is a sea anemone, is two sea anemoni? :P

the perfect date

i went on the perfect date today. i was picked up at 4:30ish? we made our way down to seal beach, to the jetty, the one with the resteraunt? i can't remember the name. we walked down past the peir to the other jetty, where we walked out and sat on a big rock half way out. their were 2 fishermen who we were talking to. they were really nice! we walked back to the resteraunt expecting to eat their, but it was closed! instead, we went to tommy's and took dinner up to signal hill. over dinner, we talked about date foods. what you can and cannot eat. it was a super fun day, full of unexpected twists, with a friend i hadn't seen since school was out? i think that was the last time i saw her....

pro pics

i know it has been awhile, and i haven't posted about NZ, but we just got pro wedding pics, and i love them!
