My Day Last Friday

Originally this was suppose to be done for my Friday post but things took a hard left turn and it just didn't happen. It was finally a day where I did not have to stress out about moving or having to do homework; I just got to chill. I took the boys out to go to the bathroom a couple times and one time Busa and Toby decided to have a tug-a-war.

 

Defeat! Haha, Toby obviously won in the tiring battle to see who would get the toy.

Jasper, he was wondering what I was doing while watching the other two.

This one was from that morning, we think Jasper is allergic to the grass like I am since he doesn't go out in the back yard to go to the bathroom. He normally just sits and watch.

I'm not sure if you can see it but theres a strange yellow and black bug on the wall. It freaked me out and I wouldn't go near it the whole time I was outside. It kinda looked like a roach but I've never seen one that was bright yellow and black. 

At one point all three of them were asleep, it was really cute. It was also nice to not have Busa or Jasper growling and playing for once. (sorry for the mess, I'm in between moves so my stuff is kinda all over the place. I'm trying my hardest to keep it together and organized if at all possible.)
Later that day I went and helped my best friend Diana move to her new apartment and there was a fire fighter who lived across the street. He was mowing the lawn but while in his uniform, didn't take off his belt or nothing. I thought it was awesome, so I took a picture.

Apartment hunting this week, wish me luck! 

Chaos

     Alrighty, things are going to get a little personal on this post. My father-in-law got laid off over a year ago and still has yet to find a job and my mother-in-law does hair. Things are really tough on that side of the family right now. Tuesday the A/C went out again upstairs. Come to find out that it isn't fixable and we can't afford to get a new unit at the moment, so me and Ryan were forced to find other places to live. So right now I am living at my parents house until I can find an apartment. Julie, Ryan's girlfriend, me and her mom found him an apartment to live in that was still close to his work. I hope it works out because we are all stressed out like it is nothing else.
     Well our good friend Brett, would like to room with us so I shall be finding an apartment with him here pretty quickly. It will just be about an hour away from here, which I don't mind; it is better than being all the way in Cali. So possibly by the end of the month I will be in Cali to get all our apartment stuff out of storage so then we can move all our stuff in when Brett and I move in. Which is great and all but moving takes a lot of time and I am in school so I am possibly going to miss one class. 

     Speaking of moving, the past couple days I have been moving. Surprisingly it only took 2 days to get all my stuff out of my room and over to my parents house BUT I also didn't have any furniture to move other than my little bookshelves. So that wasn't too bad I just spent most of my days doing it. Then yesterday I helped my bestie Diana move from her parents to her new apartment. It has just been crazy the past couple weeks. Things, mainly not so good things, happening every day. I did get to talk to Chris yesterday morning so that definitely helped ease my stress. 

     I was expecting to be able to relax a little and destress last night but that did not happen. My mother-in-law ended up going to the hospital.. Yeah not so good. Her blood pressure got really high and caused her back muscles to spaz. When I got a call that she was in the hospital that did not help my stress level. (I finally had my stomach under control but now its fighting back again.) The twins were at the neighbors house they asked me if I could go get them and watch them while they were at the hospital. I was more than happy to, I didn't want the girls freaking out because things were out of wack. So I got to go watch them, and my mom was nice enough to help me. :) I made popcorn on the stove so we could eat it while we watched cartoons since there was no use in putting them to bed since they knew what was going on. They would have kept getting up and asking me questions and all sorts of stuff. Its funny because I knew they were tired but yet they would tell me that they weren't and when my in-laws got home it was I'm so tired I want to sleep. Lol, Success!! Any who, we had little juice boxes and made this video mind you its not awesome but its something.

I was planning on a completely different post but that can wait till tomorrow. 

If you could please pray for my in-laws, that would be awesome.

playing catch up

Man oh man! Talk about stressful, we are down to just needing to pack the last minute things. My mom will be coming the middle of next week to help drive down back home to Texas. It's going to be one emotional ride, including the drive home lol. I thought that we would fill our roommates old room to the brim but so far not so much but granted not everything is in there. I've got one final down and 3 more to go. Woohoo.

My sinus' have been going crazy as of this week. I've been trying to stay away from dairy but I keep craving ice cream lol. I got butterfinger ice cream and it is delicious lol. 

I finished my menu for Grid Systems. Granted when I printed it my font did not come out because it was protected.. BUT I made a JPG of it with the proper font I used. I remade a menu for a restaruant back in Plano, Texas called Zenna. It is one of my favorite places to eat! I love sushi and Japanese food and they have a lunch special every day, SOOOO GOOD. Anyways, here it is :) I got the strongest grid in the class which I am very proud of :). 

It is a tri-fold, where the light blue lines are is where it folds. I made the logo and the octopus in illustrator :). Which I am proud of :) I'm exploring Illustrator now that I am able to use it.

Sorry for such a large break, I had so much to get done and it is finally lightening up. So hopefully Ill be able to keep up even while I am on the road to go home.

On Display

I apologize I haven't been on my game the past couple days. So much homework so little time, got a prego scare which today proved that I wasn't (Thank Goodness), our room mate moved out so we could use his room for storage of all our boxes before we get a storage space, my 21st bday this month and actually getting to spend it with Chris (the last two we didn't get to celebrate together, which I don't think we spent his last 3 together.. anyways), trying to prep as well as possible for this next deployment, figuring out what goes in storage and what goes with me back to Texas.. I just have way too much to think about.

Anywho.

Last quarter I was in Typography, Form & Space, Electric Layout, and Image Manipulation. I recently found out that I got an award for Best of Quarter in Electric Layout. :) But a couple things went on display from a couple classes. In Typography, my typeface that I hand rendered made it :). Also my journal from Form & Space made it. They finally put them on display so I took pictures, lol.

 My journal is the one top right. They didn't really do a good job with the display with the journals.

My typeface is Peachy, the one in the top right corner. My friends Ceaser and Samona both got a piece displayed. Ceasers is the guy holding the crescent roll for C and Samona's is the one above his which was an A for Atlantis. If you could get a closer look hers is super detailed.

I've got lots of stuff to do today, homework for tonights class, hopefully go to the grocery, and hopefully pack a little more but homework is def. a priority.
