I can't believe that summer break is almost over. I don't want it to end! Here's what I've been up to since I last updated. Let's see... vacation in Florida was sooo much fun. The weather in Clearwater was beautiful everyday and we just relaxed and spent time at the pool and the beach. The past couple months since vacation I've just been doing the normal summer time things. I've seen a bunch of movies- Batman, War of the Worlds, Bewitched, Fantastic Four, Must Love Dogs, Skeleton Key, the list goes on I just can't remember all of them. I've also been volunteering for the animal shelter a lot lately and a few weeks ago Ashley and Michael got a little lab mix puppy that we had to nurse back to health. Now he's getting big and his name is Deuce... so Star finally has a friend to play with, it's so cute. Other than that I've just been hanging out with everybody, going to eachother's houses and having game nights with a group of us or going bowling or to the pool during the day. We still have volleyball games every Thursday and our team has been doing pretty good this session. This week I'm going to be so busy getting ready for school to start back up. I have to go school shopping and go buy all my books this week... but other than that all I know for sure is that Tuesday I'm going to the Reds game and this Saturday a big group of us are all going to go out before school starts back up. Everyone called off of work and everything so we could go on the last weekend before school. It's supposed to be me, Ryan, Britt, Nic, Ashley, Michael, Kim, Chris, Amber, Heather, Phil, Emily, and Tim. ~Well that's a little summary of some stuff this summer... but I guess I'm out for now.

This week has been a lot of fun... I feel like I was already on vacation. Monday I went to Chuck E. Cheese with Ryan, Ann, my cousins Hailey and Taylor and Ryan's brother Austin and his friend Nick. It was a good time but the pizza was NOT good, I don't reccommend it to anyone. Tuesday we were going to go to the zoo but the parking lot was full and there wasn't anywhere else to park! Instead we ended up going shopping and spending a bunch of money lol. That night we went to the Reds game too and they actually won! Wednesday we went to the Y and the tanning bed before I had to go to work. After that Ryan came over and we hung out for a couple of hours. Thursday we went to the zoo right when it opened and we were like the only people there for a while. The zoo was a lot of fun though since I haven't been there in a long time. It was so hot out but we walked around and made sure we saw everything... and took pictures. Last night we had a volleyball game and we won again! Mcbride and Howell came to play with our team last night too. Today I will be packing and getting everything ready for Florida. I leave tomorrow night!

Last week was a lot of fun. Now I only have less than a week until I am in beautiful Florida! Last tuesday we went to Bw3's and saw The Longest Yard for Britt's party. It was a good time of course :). Lots of people were there and I took a bunch of pictures. Just hung out on wednesday and then on thursday we had two volleyball games again. From now on our team will be filling in for a team that dropped out of the league. That means we get to have two games a night instead of just one so that definitely makes playing even more worth the money. We won both of our games this week too! Friday morning I went and got my hair cut in the morning the I went over to Ryan's house and we hung out the whole day before we went to see Cinderella Man. It ended up being a lot better than I thought it would be. Go see it. Yesterday was the best day though... Ryan and I got donuts in the morning for breakfast and then we went to Complete Petmart with the Petmobile. We got a lot of dog adoptions there- we even ran out of dogs for adoption and we had to go back to the shelter real fast to get more. We also sent some people to the shelter and they adopted dogs too, it was a big success! After that we went back home and got ready then went out to eat at Olive Garden. It was good but I stuffed myself! After we ate we went back to Ryan's house and decided to watch old movies so we watched The Fox and the Hound haha. Today I think we're going shopping for some more stuff for Florida. Then this week is already pretty much planned out with a lot of fun stuff it's going to be awesome... Chuck E Cheese Monday, the zoo, the Reds Game, and our volleyball game later this week!  

First of all I want to start off by wishing BRITTANY THOMAS a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY today!

Now back to your regularly scheduled update... yesterday we took Ryan's car to get repaired and while we waited we went to lunch at Pizza Hut. Then we went back and waited for his car to get done and we had to wait so long that they gave it to him for free! After that we went back to Ryan's and read our books and watched Cold Creek Manor (not a good movie). This morning I have been looking for pictures and trying to get them organized for the scrapbooks I am making. Sometime I have to pick out all the digital pictures I want to take and get developed from my birthday and of Star... this is why I don't like digital cameras anymore. Right now I'm getting ready to go to the Y and work out and then tonight is Britt's birthday party! It should be a fun time- I can't wait! :)

Thursday we ended up going early to our volleyball game so we could sub for another team and play an extra game at 6:30. We also won our volleyball game at 7:30! Friday I hung out with Ryan during the day and then I had to work 3-7. After work Ryan and I ate Papa John's pizza and then went to see Madagascar. I thought it was a cute movie... Saturday was also a busy day. In the morning I went over to Ryan's house and we gave Star a much needed bath! She looks so cute now! Then we went out to eat at Schlotzsky's Deli and then went shopping for Britt's birthday present. It is very cute if I do say so myself lol which I do. That night we went with Ryan's mom up to Lake Lyndsey to take pictures of Ashley and Michael's prom group and their awesome Hummer limo. After that we went out to eat at Frisch's and relaxed at Ryan's house for the rest of the night. This morning I had to work at the animal care center and it was so busy with all the pets staying there over Memorial Day weekend. I'm finally home though hopefully to relax for the night and prolly watch a movie with Ryan... I'm off. 

What has happened this past week and a half??? Sometime last week Ryan and I went out to eat at Applebee's then we were going to see a movie at the Rave but instead we just rented Final Cut on demand. Not the best movie choice we have ever made lol. We also went to the Tri County mall one day to pick up contacts and I had to get Bath and Body Works lotion. I've still been going to the YMCA in the morning time and Ryan and I bought tanning bed minutes at Sundance to start getting ready for vacation. Last Thursday our volleyball game was cancelled so we took Scottie, Austin, and their friends to Pizza Hut and to see Star Wars. Saturday I volunteered at the Humane Society and we took the petmobile out by the Cincinnati Mills Mall. It was a good trip considering a dog got adopted, it was sunny out and I got to eat at Panera Bread. :) Sunday Ryan and I went to Kings Island all day and it was fun, we got to practically walk on whatever we rode... but we didn't get to ride the new ride! The past couple of days I've been hanging out over at Ryan's house and we took Star on a walk to Ameristop to get ice cream haha. Last night we watched the director's cut of The Butterfly Effect... Today I have to work :( and then Ryan is coming over. Finally tomorrow we're going shopping for swim suits and stuff for *vacation* then playing sand volleyball at night if our game doesn't get rained out again.

I can't wait- only a couple more weeks until I'm in Florida!!!

This past week has been a pretty good week to start off summer. Last Saturday was Ann's graduation party and it was a lot of fun. Good people and good food haha. This past week I have hung out with Ryan and went to the Ymca almost every day. We also went to the library and got some books to read and we were laughing about how no one else reads in the summertime. Brittany confirmed our thoughts lol.  I worked on wednesday and put in my new availability. I still haven't gotten my check and it's a mystery to me how I am going to get it. Anyways last night Ryan and I met up with Britt and Nic at Bw3s for dinner. Then we all considered renting a movie instead of waiting an hour to see a movie. But... long story short Ryan and I went and saw Crash and it was really good. Well, that's all for now...more later.

I haven't updated on here in forever and since school is over and it is finally summer I figured it was about time. Since I last updated I've done the usual things. We went out with a bunch of people for Ryan's birthday, went to the movies a bunch, saw a Reds game with pretty good seats, celebrated our two year anniversary, and of course school. I am so glad that school is over though and happy that the weather is actually nice! Yesterday Ryan and I had a little "out of school" cookout which was fun. It was me and Ryan, Fields, Hops, Mckaila, Kim, her bf Chris, Steve, Ashley, Michael, Howell, Heather, Phillip, and of course Star and Chewy lol. I wished Britt, Lynette, and Em could have come but they were at work and up at school still :). Well I hope everyone is as happy as me that school is out! Today is Ann's graduation then her graduation get together over here... so that should be a good time. Later.   

I love you so much Ryan! (I just thought you might want to see this)

Happy 19th Birthday Ryan!!!

I LOVE YOU :)

This has been Spring Break:

Last weekend on Friday night we went to Steak n Shake with Michael and Ashley and then went and hung out at Ryan's house. We played Mad Gab which was a pretty fun game and we used up almost all the cards already. Saturday morning we went to Fashion Bug for pet adoptions... no luck though. After that I hung out with Brittany for a little while and dyed her hair blue lol. Then I went home and went shopping for Ryan's birthday presents. Sunday night we rented Ladder 49- that movie is so sad! Let's see here... Monday night Ryan and I went with Britt, Nic, and Nic's friend Ryan to Friday's for his birthday. Tuesday we went to my house and relaxed and did homework, basically the same thing yesterday but at his house. Today we are going to the Y then probably trying to read our book for english.

Spring Break just doesn't feel like a break without the trip. I can't wait til we go to Florida this June. It's not even that we didn't go on a trip but it also sucks to have so much homework over break and I don't want to be behind when we go back next week bleh. I really don't want to go back to school! Except for the fact that I have to get a job I just can't wait for summer to come. But that's enough about that for now.... Hope everyone is having a decent break.

I haven't updated in a couple of weeks but here's what has been going on: The Adoptathon at the animal shelter did really well so now the shelter isn't as crowded as before which is a very good thing! The Monday after that was Valentine's Day so of course that was awesome! We took a bunch of pictures with my new camera. Ryan didn't have a soccer game that night so after school we went to his house and exchanged a bunch of presents- then ate the cake I made him and the heart shaped jello he made me :). After that we went to Montgomery Inn and ate dinner. It was very delicious haha and a lot of fun. I LOVE YOU RYAN! Last Friday I went with Ryan to get his hair cut and we watched Shark Tales. Then on Saturday Ryan and I went with Micheal and Ashley to Burger King and to see Hitch. It was funny even though it kind of seemed to drag on a little bit. Sunday I went shopping with Ann at Tri County and Ryan came over after work. This week so far we've went to the YMCA a couple of times, hung out, and done homework... bleh. Anyways~ no good movies out this weekend so I don't know what we're doing. Tomorrow I think we're going to hang out and go to O'Charleys for dinner. Then Saturday we are going to go to Petsmart for pet adoptions again. Then after he works he is coming over to my house for a while. Sometime this weekend I have to study for the history midterm... I can't wait for school to be over!

Last night Ryan and I went with Ashley and Michael and saw Boogeyman- the ending basically killed it though. After that we ate ice cream and watched The Notebook~ that movie is sooo good. Today I am going to volunteer at the Adoptathon at the animal shelter. Hopefully I'll start feeling better within the next hour because right now I feel awful. :( I just feel so sick and my head hurts really bad... bleh.

I'm ready for school much too early so I figured I would update. Hmmm.... Last friday Ryan and I went to the Y to workout and play basketball. He joined even though it costs a small fortune lol. Saturday I went shopping with Britt in the morning at the Tri County mall which is always fun and exciting. I got Ryan's Valentine's Day presents and I already wrapped them and everything so I'm prepared a week ahead haha. After I went shopping I came back home real fast and then went to Applebees to meet Ryan for dinner. It was delicious... then we went to Ashley and Michael's soccer game for the first time. They almost won, it was fun to watch though. That night we all went bowling. Not so good, didn't even break 100. The past couple days Ryan and I have just hung out and been overloaded with homework seriously more than ever. Then last night he had a soccer game and it wasn't even close is all that I'll say haha.... Well that's it for now.

This week so far hasn't been too exciting for words so here's the jist of it... Sunday I did my photo project and Ryan came over after he went to work. Monday and Tuesday we went to school then came back to my house. Today we went to school then went back to his house. We watched American Idol both nights and it was entertaining. Also, might not sound too interesting but I reccommend trying yoga if you need a laugh. Anyways~ I wish I didn't have so much school and homework but I guess that's how it goes for now. I can't wait til the weekend though... Friday we're finally seeing HIDE and SEEK which looks muy bien and Saturday we are off to Petsmart again to get some dogs adopted then I don't know what... that's it for now though.

I haven't updated in a couple of weeks now- I have been really busy since school started back up. My past couple weeks have consisted of a bunch of classes and even more homework. I went to the mall and the movies a couple of times with Ryan when we had a break on the weekend. Last week we saw In Good Company and this Friday we saw Coach Carter. They were both GOOD movies and one of them made me feel like running sprints lol. Today and last Saturday Ryan and I volunteered for the animal shelter and brought lots of dogs and puppies up to Petsmart to get adopted. It was fun and the shelter wants us to bring dogs up there every Saturday morning/afternoon. I think that would be good as long as there were enough volunteers and I don't have too much homework... but we'll see how it goes if we go there next weekend. Anyways enough rambling about this for now. I'm not sure what's going on tomorrow but I have a photography project to do with a camera I don't know how to use yet... much fun.

Only a couple more days until school starts back up :(. I don't want to go back! These past few days I have been dreading it. Anyways I took Star to get her surgery earlier this week and she is already feeling a lot better now. Ryan and I have been at his house and my house most nights and we watched Surviving Christmas (it was ok I guess.) Last night Ashley, Michael, Ryan and I went out to eat at Olive Garden which was delicious and then we saw White Noise. That movie was kinda freaky I don't know if I liked it. Right now I'm about to leave to go to the YMCA. I don't know what I'm doing the rest of the day but tonight Britt and Nic wanted to do something with us so I guess we will see....

*IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!*

I had a really good birthday to say the least... everyone was wishing me happy birthday all day long and I got a bunch of phone calls haha so that was good. :). Today I went to Ryan's and made a birthday cake for his dad since it was his birthday today too. After that we met up with Ashley and Michael and ate at Champps and saw Lemmity Snickets. It was fun even though that movie was just plain weird and of course Champps food was delicious. Then Ryan and I came home and I opened presents from my family and ate chocolate cake with hot pink icing! YUM! Tonight Ryan had an indoor soccer game too and they finally *won* a game and it was actually against the good Monroe team. All of them were so excited so that was fun. Well I'm off to bed because I have to get up really early tomorrow to take Star to the vet...

Last week was a fun and relaxing week of break... Monday Emily, Tim, Ryan and I hung out and played a bunch of new games that we got for Christmas and then we saw Meet the Fockers. The movie was really funny, might have been funnier than Meet the Parents. Tuesday Ashley, Ryan, and I went shopping at the TriCounty Mall and got some new clothes! Then the next couple of days Ryan and I just hung out and watched movies at his house, I don't recommend Wimbledon to anyone haha! Thursday I went over to Ryan's house for his family Christmas with his aunts and uncles and cousins and their dog lol. It was actually a lot of fun, I should probably start writing thank you cards for the nice Christmas presents and things people got me for my birthday! *Which is this Monday WHOOO* Anyways last night for New Years Eve/My Birthday a bunch of people came over to Ryan's house. It started out that it was going to be a surprise but of course I found out early... We all ate and had cake and I opened presents. We played games like Scene It, Trivial Pursuit 90's, and Battle of the Sexes and watched the ball drop as always haha. It was a fun New Years Eve and it was good to hang out with everyone on break. It was Britt, Nic, Gault, Kim, Heather, Emily, Tim, Ashley, Micheal, Ryan and me. I'm off to upload some pics....

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

This past week I have been pretty much snowed in along with everyone else... not fun. But I'm so glad that the roads are finally travelable again. Today after I wake up the family we're opening presents and all that. Hopefully everyone likes what they got- or else... haha. Anyways after that I'm going over to Ryan's house and we're exchanging gifts and then we're going to my house in the evening because my family is coming over for Christmas dinner. Well that's all for now... I hope everyone gets what they want and...

Merry Christmas!!!
