Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys

Because they will attempt to steal the heart of a young lady, then ride away, off into the northern California sunset.

Never to be heard from for a week and a half.

...but my goodness, they sure are handsome.

There is a sale at the Fashion Boutique

Did anyone else ever play the game "Mall Madness" when they were little? You were given a credit card and so much money and every time you ran out, you had to roll the die to make your way back to the bank. Then you had to make a purchase at so many stores, and if the "line's too long" you had to "try again later". Then all the sudden you'd hear the speaker say "Attention mall shoppers, there is a sale at the _____________, there is a sale at the __________________, there is a clearance at the ______________" and you had to move these little signs to the stores mentioned. As much as I hate shopping, that game was actually pretty fun.

I'm not sure what reminded me of it, but it was a tangent anyway. Here's the real update:

Did ya catch that last part? Yes, I have made the decision to move back to Northern California to pursue my teaching credentials. Call me crazy, but I think it's the best thing for me :)

So Woodland, please have In & Out built by November/December and ready to go by the time I get there... or I may seriously have to reconsider everything again.

The great thing is, for the friends I still have left in the Long Beach area, I will have FREE TIME this summer to find any excuse to go out (or stay in) and have a great time!! Life is good... and just keeps getting better.*

*In order to assure the accuracy of this statement, Lisa Wilcox, my best friend, will be taken to Northern California with me. Hehehe

The Butterflies Are Back!

So are the ladybugs :)
This little ladybug landed on my sweatshirt on my walk to school today and hung on (it was REALLY windy) until I arrived on campus. Then I took him off and placed him on this little flower. It was nice to have an unexpected walking buddy.

So in other news, I'm going home again this weekend. I know in my last post that I was over going home, but the tables have turned.

I'm really happy to be going home for Easter, to see my brother's confirmation, my dad as a "water boy" for the Easter Vigil and to spend time with my family- especially my grandparents.

And then there are the butterflies.

But I don't want to jinx anything, so just think good thoughts and we'll get back to that at a later time.

I'm way too excited though!!!
