Bloggity Blog Blog

Man! It has been a while since I've blogged haha, but that doesn't mean I haven't had anything cool happening, more like busy doing cool things!! CHyea!

Let's kick it off with the most interesting thing that happened today. Three guys came in to my restaurant and ordered our 12 patty burger challenge...each. It was the most entertaining thing I'd seen in that restaurant haha, 36 patties total... our grill wasn't even big enough to cook them all at the same time. The challenge is to eat all 12 patties, and the fries, and we'll buy the burger. Worth it? I don't think so, but it was quite the show. Did they do it? No, cmon people its 12 patties AND fries! Good attempt though.


Oh yes. So since I graduated high school, I've been carrying around what I call a "dumb phone". Everyone has those cool little smart phones, so that would go hand in hand with the idea that if your phone isn't smart, its dumb. Great logic, I know. Anyways, I had been very avid and totally content on sticking to a normal phone that performs basic phone functions. This idea of using a phone that was smart just seemed trendy, expensive and excessive. Plus, 75% of the time you're walking down the street at any given time of day, you'll see at least half of the population with their nose glued to their phones. (I could get into this but I am consciously choosing to just leave it at that haha). My point, I just wasn't too uppidy about getting and paying for a smart phone. And guess what I got for Chirstmas that I was totally excited to receive? An iPhone! Yep, I'm totally converted and completely understand at least half of the population a little bit better now. Now, I can't see myself ever going back, plus... I have come to understand as to why people are always on their phones now and blame them less for being interested in such a cool device!


Overall, I feel like things are coming together nicely! Finally got my grades :) Happy with them. Filed my taxes, bought new tires, made a visit to the doctor, made an appointment to see a counselor to start applying to colleges...yep, I'm moving up in the world :)

Not to mention, I see my very loving and amazingly wonderful boyfriend every week-ish or so and I couldn't be happier. Kyle has surprised me with park-hopper tickets to Disneyland on Valentines day and I am super stoked to go. I absolutely love Disneyland :) It is going to be one great Valentines day!

And all the rest

It's been a little while but I didn't forget to post about my Christmas! Which was amazing :) Kyle and I spent a week in Spokane, Washington. It was my first Christmas away from my family, but we had celebrated an early Christmas together. I still missed them!  It was my first Christmas where there was snow! According to everyone in Washington, it wasn't really snowing, but I say if there's white stuff on the ground and you can throw it at people, thats snow to me! It was great getting to meet the rest of Kyle's family. Everyone was so warm and welcoming. And it was great spending Christmas with a bunch of kids in the house ha. Christmas is different when you're not a kid anymore, but it's still a lot of fun. We went on a mini boat cruise at night with the whole family to see all the Christmas lights near the lake. We played games almost every night, watched Christmas Vacation together when the kids were all asleep. Kyle surprised me with a bunch of awesome trinkets from Europe haha. He picked out things that I would pick out for myself! We spent one evening up at a ski lodge at Mt. Spokane. We didn't go skiing or snowboarding, although that would have been a blast, but we had a few beers and read haha, quite the romantic evening. Man, it was such an awesome week and I couldn't of been happier than to spend it with Kyle and his family. Kyle's parents, Ric and Cindy, were wonderful hosts :) Cindy really is superwoman, between feeding kids, watching kids, cooking, everything! Ad Ric does the dishes!! (didn't see that one coming haha) It was so kind of them to open up their home to all of us. Thank you so much!!

And now, Kyle and I are back in California ready to take on the next few months. I am here in SLO while he is in San Jose starting his job at Cisco. (I love you Kyle! Keep up the good work babe!)  We'll be seeing each other every other week or so, which is like nothing compared to three months! The plan now is to gear towards moving to San Jose. If you know anyone that needs a room mate up there, please let me know :)

And, I have officially decided that I'm not going to be looking for a job in a restaurant ever again..unless I manage or own it or something. I'm ready to graduate from servinghood.

Overall, life is going great! I'm not saying I don't have lame days ha. But I think it's because I care too much about everything and I let the wrong things get to me sometimes. If there's anything I'm working on this year, it's not letting unimportant things get to me and focusing on the things that really matter. This year, I want to get to where I want to be and stop settling for what gets me by. There's so much ahead of me this year and  I'm so excited for it all!
