Hello there,

Well it's been one crazy year and its only September. So much has happened since my last blog. i started my first real job in March and I'm reaching the 6 month point right now. I can't believe I've been working for 6 months already. Crazy! The months have been going by so fast I don't know where the time goes anymore. Summer went by ridiculously fast!

Let's recap what happened this year.. In May, I went to Vegas with my colleague Tammy for the Billboard Music Awards. It was definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity and I'm glad I went. Even though I was only there for a day and I had to wake up at 6am to be at the airport and be back the next day. It was so fun!

In June, I was involved in a terrible car accident that made me lose Shia. :(. I was coming home from work and literally almost home when I look at my side mirror and see a van coming that was out of control. Next thing I knew, my car spun out, I blacked out for a little bit, and my car is completely totaled. :( I went to the ER after my accident and made sure I was okay and I was out of work for 2 weeks because I was on pain medication and muscle relaxers and I couldn't sit for a very long time. I started going to a chiropractor because my back was hurting and we discovered that my spine got twisted and so did my neck. Now I have to continue going to a chiro for 6 months because of my accident. I also hired an attorney to help me in getting some sort of compensation for all that I have gone through. Thinking about it makes me sad cause I really lost my very first car. It was such a scary thing to go through and because of it, I'm paranoid and have so much anxiety when I drive now. I didn't drive for 2 weeks because of my accident. After all this, I had to drive and get a new car. I ended up buying a 2011 Volkswagen jetta and named him Dolphy. I bought him on my own without my parent's help which felt very grown up for me. :)

Enough about this horrific accident...

In August, I went to Vegas with my sisters for Kristine's bday. It was so much fun because I've never really experienced Vegas and being with my sisters has always been a blast. The week after I went, bubba went with his friends and stayed at the same hotel as we did. We stayed at the Westgate Towers in Planet Hollywood. It was soooo pretty and huge. I loved it. It was definitely a much needed trip after all that I went through the month before.

There were definitely some downs in my life but I'm glad that we have it all figured out and are happy. I went to Monterey for the first time with bubba and went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It was a gloomy weekend in Monterey but we definitely had tons of fun. We really needed a vacation away from everyone. On our way home we went to Santa Cruz beach boardwalk which was also tons of fun! The sun was shining through and we were able to go to crawdaddy afterwards too which made my day. :) It was definitely a perfect weekend with my love.

For labor day weekend, we went to LA with my family and bubba and we took dolphy. We went to Universal City walk where I had my first pinks hot dog and it was delicious. We stayed at the Sheraton Garden Grove and got upgraded to a club room with free breakfast. We went to disneyland the next day and was able to get a special assistance pass because I can't stand too long in line. We got to cut every line at disneyland and california adventures. That was the most rides we ever rode because the longest we waited was 20 minutes and it was because indiana jones broke down and they had to figure out and fix it. We also watched world of color. they changed a few things but it was still sooo coool. I got to sit down in the disabled area because I had the pass which was good. :)

Last weekend was my brothers bday so we just had dinner with the fam and I stayed over at Jiro's house and we watched a movie and went out. :) i love being with him.

I'm currently looking for trips for my birthday week. I know it's next year but I need something to look forward to. I'm thinking either a cruise to mexico, to hawaii, or somewhere tropical. I just wanna get away with bubba.

The holidays are coming up! First it's halloweeen, then thanksgiving then its christmas! :) I love the holidays! best time to be with the family and bubba. I'm so much more a fall type of person because I love getting all dressed up and warm and having the heater on. I love the rain and dark gloomy weather because that's when I know it's close to christmas.

I can't believe this year has gone by so fast. It's already september! theres only 3 more months left of the year.

Hmm.. I don't know what else to write so I'll probably blog again when I have time and something to talk about.

Til then.. bye! :)
