okay its random

One of my new favorite blogs… 3191 a year of mornings. I just really love the concept, it also makes me feel a little more motivated about taking pictures more often.

Not feeling great about school right now… a little bit of wondering, a little bit of needing to think about life and my goals.

There is actually snow on the ground… It snowed last night and this morning and it was gorgeous outside this morning. I just wanted to put on warm clothes and go outside in it, and then come back in for hot cocoa (but instead I had to go to school).

The power was out today, but it is back on now. Thankful for warmth and heat…

my London pics

So I finally have some of my pictures from london resized and uploaded. I decided to put them on Flickr and include a slideshow on this post rather than post them all separate on here. If you want to know more about the pic, you can visit the set on Flickr here. Hope everyone enjoys!

lots to show & tell

By the way if my brother-in-law or sister-in-law are reading this, I would really like to see pictures of your new puppies! (Now how is that for pressure:)

Wow! Where in the world do I start? Life has been crazy busy for the last couple of weeks really… I know I said I was going to post pics of my trip earlier this week and I had planned on writing a little more frequently on here but well… first my computer was having issues, so Ben fixed those for the most part (I think he is still going to completely reload windows and such, but I first had to get some stuff off of it), then school has been REALLY busy.

Feeling a little bit out of sorts about school and life right now… Maybe that is too honest, but this is my blog and place to write so if you don’t want to read and would rather skim down to see pics I understand. Just not sure if I am still out of sorts from all the time changes (I am not really back on United States time, I have been going to bed early and getting up earlier than I normally do) or what, but I just haven’t felt the way I did last semester about school. I am somewhat frustrated with a few things about school and don’t want to really go into all of it, but just wish that sometimes rules and such were thought over a little more rather than just done and accepted.

Also feeling frustrated with the fact that so many people in life are close minded… I don’t mind people having opinions and beliefs and even holding very strongly to those (I do so I can’t say that is bad), but I do mind people just doing things for the sake of doing them or getting stuck in the same old things because it is all they know. The frustrating part is that I think this is a fairly prevalent attitude in the area where we live. Things I thought that a lot of people felt strongly about I am starting to learn are not that way. That might sound naive, but I don’t really think it is when you understand the issues, I really think we all should challenge ourselves to grow and not just hold to the same old because it is what we know. I know I am not always great at this either, but I do attempt to make an effort and I find it sad when this effort is lacking.

I don’t really feel like I am doing a great job at expressing myself on these issues, but it feels a little better to just get it all out… Maybe you would prefer I move on to more light topics? Funny ones even? How about a funny story?

Okay so light topic now & pretty funny story…. The day before yesterday I was leaving school with my friend Jes. I was going to be heading home & she was going to the gym at school, so I got into my car to drive home… Well as I started the car I looked down to the passenger seat and across the floor I see a mouse running under the passenger seat. So what do I do? I scream of course & jump out of the car (okay yeah, the soon to be Vet Tech can’t handle a little mouse, I know!). After I jump out of the car I call for Jes who is across the parking lot and she comes over to my car to see what I am saying. The brave friend that she is, she looks under the seat but by then the mouse had run off somewhere. Well even if the mouse is gone, I cannot drive home wondering where it is, so I call Ben who gets off work early just to come get me and drive my car home while I drive his car instead. Needless to say, Ben has been driving my car the last two days and I am not sure I am ready to give him his car back:) (He definitely wins the award for best husband ever for humoring me and taking off early to save me from a little bitty mouse!)

So did you actually read all of that? I am impressed if so! I am getting to the pictures finally if you have been waiting this whole time for that:) Hmm… I just went through all of the pics of London that I took (which was quite a few) and I am kind of thinking there are a lot for this blog post seeing as it is already quite long. So do you think you can handle the suspense for a little longer? I think instead I am going to post some other pics and wait to post the London pics one more day:) Hope that is alright!

Of course no blog entry would be complete without pics of the two cutest cats in the world (okay I admit I might be a little bit biased on that issue! Maybe they are the two cutest boy cats in the world and my sister-in-laws cats are the two cutest girl cats? :)

Axel loves a good hiding place and Pounce just loves to be Pounce:)

Pictures from the drive between my parents house & Ben’s parents house… Both taken by me while Ben was driving. I miss seeing trees everywhere (oh and big bodies of water… I think I need to live by the ocean;)

So I promise I will post pics of London either tonight or tomorrow. It is just going to take me a bit to size all of them down to a point where they will fit on my blog (and there are a lot of pics so it will take me a bit longer than usual.)
