COLORADO!

I made it to Denver!

Packed up the big uhaul trailer Thursday night and made the trip on Friday... Car ride was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be, actually seemed pretty quick:)

Bitty made the trip too!!! She was the worst part of the car ride, very restless. Here is a picture of here on my moms lap in the car, so cute.....

The house is awesome! I had never even seen it until we got here on Friday. (kind of scary) But it is way better than I expected, and bigger. My aunt had made a big dinner for us when we arrived!

Here is a picture of ME, LUKE (the roommate), & NICK (cousin).

After we got everything unloaded and I got right to work on organizing and DECORATING::::))))))

Really had it all finished by Saturday night, so we did a bbq on Sunday, Luke had some friends over, my mom, aunt & uncle were all here and Emily and Adam Griffin stopped by with their doggie Tyson (adorable). Tyson and Kia played the whole time, even met up for a walk in the park yesterday, they are already friends, and Kia knows tysons name, she gets excited when I say it. Starts looking around for him:)

Anyway, Here are some pictures of the house!!!

The Crap i HAVE TO watch:(

I have to watch these lectures for my CPA review. Some days this guy is the only interaction I get! These lectures are not boring, but they can be super annoying. And I often wonder, how did you get this job? I found this on youtube, a collection of his rants...

HA... oh Peter Olinto, I hope I am lucky enough to meet you someday:)

P.S. Still no news on grades! They were supposed to be out this week, maybe next week?

i JUST spent the last hour uploading and customizing this exciting new template for my blog!!!!!

Yesterday I was looking around at other peoples blogs and realized that the theme I had chosen (there's only about ten options!) was being used by a lot of people. I didn't like that!

S0....
I put to use some of my college computer class skills in html code, and switched around the colors and fonts of another template. I have to admit that I was surprised with my college recall. I often wonder... what exactly did I learn in college? And, when exactly am I going to use it?

P.S. NEW office is on tonight! Can't wait!

New Car!

Hey All, Can't believe it has been a week since I blogged. Truthfully I couldn't find the charger to my computer, and I wasn't all that interested in looking for it. I figured it would show up- and it did!

So, down to business. I got a new car!!!

It was a quick search, I knew what I wanted, and we found it within a few days! Still can't believe it's mine:) Now I'm ready for Denver and the mountains!

Continuing..... I do believe I promised the most recent picture of Shirley...

CREEPY!!

New Developments...

Hi ALL!

I'm back to the blog, it's been a busy weekend! I tried to blog from the car, but my iphone, (as fancy as it is) would not allow me to type in the right field. Saturday I went to the football game in Manhattan... so sad to be back and have nowhere to stay. It really made me realize all the change I've been through in the last year. All good change's of course:) Then Casey and I went onto Garden City on Sunday, played golf monday, and had a cookout with the family Monday night. On the way back to Wichita Casey got pulled over, not once, but twice. I was pretty intoxicated from drinking all day, and then vodka tonics at dinner- I honestly, barely remember the car ride. Just singing country music the whole way home. I woke up Tuesday and said "Did we really get pulled over 2 times!?" HA, I would love to have a hidden camera in the car on me when he was getting pulled over/ talking to the cop... so out of my character- I wasn't saying a word. Just chillin' shotgun, waiting for my music to get turned back UP!

Anyway... onto the new developments with Shirley.. i was looking through the pictures of the house, and I saw a very noticeable orb in the kitchen pic. It's got to be her:)

I'll post the picture this afternoon! I', in the middle of studying, but I had to inform you all! As this is a very interesting development in a seriously creepy story.

Kstate Football Game:)

Pay it Forward.

Every single time I want to know a random piece of information I google it, and, it never fails to come up on yahoo answers. So today I joined Yahoo. Because I too, have questions.

Within about an hour of posting my first question I got an answer!!!

IF you are a curious person, I suggest you think about joining. I did, and now I'm one answer closer to knowing it all.


My goal by the end of the weekend... pay it forward & answer someone else's question. I'm off!!

Pumpkin Spice Latte!!!

What a way to start a crisp fall day! I thoroughly enjoy Starbucks pumpkin spice lattes (non-fat milk, no whip cream, 2 pumps of spice) today I was banking on a chai tea latte, but.... ahhh, the return of the pumpkin spice. What a surprise. What a glorious and uplifting surprise! So excited!! Just as fabulous as my taste buds remembered!

Also, If you don't know already, I have taken a sudden interest in oil painting.
Seriously.
I have seen these modern art pieces around and said to myself, or whomever I am with, "I can do that!" So I did... I am currently working on my third piece. Here is the unfinished look


Now I'm back to my art, latte in hand. So happy:)

UPDATE: The Finished Product:)

Today is the Day!

Today's the day! I'm officially starting a blog!!!

Since I am just a few weeks away from making my much anticipated big move to Denver, and I am about make some pretty exciting changes, I decided to start a blog, a great way to document my adventure, and share it with my family and friends!

First, Let me get you up to speed on my current circumstance-
I recently moved away from my second home... Manhattan, KS! I lived there on and off for six freaking years and I loved every minute of it, something magical about that town... most of you know what i mean.

Now I am a resident at my parents house, counting down the days until the big move... on September 25th!!!!

Here are a few pics of our place in Washington Park.

1490 South Vine, Home Sweet Home


The Kitchen, A little dated, but she'll do.


The Living Room, please note the awesome colorado fireplace!!


A bedroom

I will spare you pictures of the creepy basement, it's bad. This old lady lived here before us, she died. Now I am in the middle of an investigation into her death, it's posible she could have died in residence, which means her ghost could be a problem. I am aware of this and looking into ways of letting her know i come in peace. IF you have a suggestion, by all means, I'm open.

As you may have noticed from the pictures there is a wheelchair ramp along the side of the house, when I told my mom about the possible ghost resident she said, and i quote, "what is she gonna do to you? well, you may hear her zooming up and down that ramp, poppin' wheelies." WTF Sara jEAN? Poppin' wheelies? I have to admit that leaves a hilarious image in my mind, and I am going to go with it. She was probably a cool old lady, and she probably did zoom around in her wheelchair like a badass. And if I saw her at walmart I might want to be her friend. So maybe I'm the lucky one, living in her house and all.

More to come.. For now, I'm going to refer to her as Shirley. It's a sweet old lady name, but its got an edge to it. True to her personality I'm sure.

More to come, right now I've gotta run, I made enchiladas today (spinach and chicken) gotta put them in the oven, and get ready for dinner!!!
