.....not sure what to say.....
I am at work currently just relaxing waiting for the day to end. I have finished all my work there isn't a thing i can do right now. So i figured i'd just blog about nothing. Life has been just a bit busy today. We are closing for our month end. I also have now discovered I am allergic to some types of air freshners in bathrooms. My throat has swelled up twice now since i've been at work with in the last week. It was only on the days that i would go into our women's restroom. Not fun. Anyways. I am looking forward to my Bible study tonight. I really enjoyed class last night. I have just started my German class last night with my two close friends Nikki and Nissa. It's great. We have a nice teacher and he's pretty easy to understand. So i have nothing else to say. => haha i know i am a weirdo i am sure all of you are wondering why on earth i even blogged this.... just one of those days....

Lonely for a Min...
Sometimes its frustrating when you look around and friends are all getting married or have a guy that actually seems to be right for them. Sometimes I envy those people... but then I think about it... I still have so much time to do that. I can travel, see the things I want to see, and I can get what I want to get done. It was interesting a co-worker of mine and I were speaking about my ex situation and I had mentioned I really hadn't thought of him while I was on my trip. He said "then you probably didn't really love him"...Hum interesting situation. Oh well life goes on...
I am currently at work super early on a Saturday morning. I am very tired and still a little jet lagged. I am hoping that clears up soon. My room looks like Hurricane Katrina went through it. It needs to be redone so that I have a little place to call my own. I have been planning how I want it to look I am going to force myself as tired as I am to work on it today.
I know one thing for sure I am happy to have a job in these tough times right now. Things are getting pretty bad... People's homes being foreclosed, no one finding jobs, and just not enough cash flow for anyone. It's hitting the plumbing business' very bad, and I see it everyday. One of our major companies just had their general contractor (who owes them a lot of money) file for chapter 11 it's such a huge general that this particular chapter 11 was reported in the newspaper. I personally think that the major factors of our economy being so bad are as follows... people like the octuplets mom who live off the government, gas prices, housing prices, and over saturation of businesses. I could never ever ever live off the government I'd find a way to make money and I for darn sure would work my butt of till I found myself a job. Laziness is one of the worst diseases that exist in the world today it isn't obesity or cancer it's laziness.

Post Vacation Blues
I am starting to miss being out of the country. I must say the world has lot's of beautiful places all you have to do is look for these places and soon you will find them. I have decided that I want to see more of the US i keep on traveling out and halfway across the world now its time to see my home country. I haven't been to some places here, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Mt Rushmore, Pittsburgh, Boston, New York, and the list goes on. There are so many beautiful places here it's time to discover them. Plus it's a little less expensive haha. I must say that being in Paris was a beautiful thing even though my experience coming home was so much of a disaster. I did enjoy the views such as this gorgeous view of Notre Dame. The bridges look amazing at night. The city is a bit dirty so to be able to see it at night helps to cover up the dirt and for you to see the beauty that lays within it's walls. I hope that many of you are able to see things like this and to discover many new places. It's so important to see these places to appreciate God even more. He has created man to help create beautiful things even though God could just speak and all of this could just exist with out our help. I must say I am happy to be home yet I would love to keep traveling. I have many goals to accomplish time to start checking off my list. HAHA enjoy the picture and may it encourage you to travel.

OH yah there are still Gentlemen around...
Just wanted to say Tyler thank you.... for being a Gentleman.... those Roses were very sweet and nice... As well as all the help you gave us helping us through Paris, carrying some of our things, and just seeing us in Paris was a nice thing....
He is just a friend but a true one at that.... So it's nice to see they still exist... even to open a door, carry some things, and give a rose to say that you are special.... :) See little things do count in our eyes we don't always just want diamonds.... :)
THANKS AGAIN TYLER....for hope for the Male race haha.... :)

French Soil left a Bad Taste in my Mouth...
Well I am home now.... it kind of amazing i didn't miss the flight.... I enjoyed my trip all the way up till the time i was coming home..... here it starts.... we are in the airport in Munich and i am going to check my baggage... my aunt and i spent a few hours packing doing the best we could to make our suitcases only weigh 23kg approx 45lbs we were fighting and struggling balancing and replacing and leaving things behind. When we checked our luggage they told us we both had to pay 50 euros more because one of both our bags were over by 2kg.... we were a bit upset because many people are let though with that amount as ok... but the french lady behind the counter saw that we were American.... as my aunt walked away to go pay for her luggage the lady turned to here friend and told her "those stupid American's" in German....haha little did she know i could understand her for i understand German. So she checked my bags and I wanted to say something to her in German to show here I understood what she had said but I wanted my luggage to make it home so decided better of that idea. Went to pay for my stuff and continued on to security....Went through security with 1 hand luggage the exact size of hand luggage ur supposed to be allowed, a backpack as my purse, and a small bag of one very breakable thing. Got on the plane and on my way i went......
Made it safely to Paris, France.... got of the plane and proceeded to go meet my friend Tyler at the trainstation in the airport. Got there no sign of him... I walked all around up and down and then decided to go back to look through the terminal to double check he wasn't waiting there for me... nope no Tyler..... walked all the way back to the trainstation went back to my aunt and said i hope he shows up soon or that i find him within 20 min or we are going to have to try to see what little we can of Paris... (17hours all we had) Just then i turned around and lone behold just about 20o feet away TYLER!!!!! yay I told my aunt there he is i run i jump and hahah walla we have found eachothere... turns out later he told me he did the same things i did walked around looked in the terminal... we must have crossed paths and didn't even know it....
Well it was the day after Valentine's Day and he had a rose which he handed to me... then turned to my Aunt and said to her oh too bad I didn't know u were coming i would have gotten you one as well.... oh but wait what is this he pulls another rose hidden from inside his jacket.... it was very sweet.... We then proceeded to purchase 2day metro slash train passes to get to see some of Paris... Got on the train and went to his hostle. Dropped some of our load off and took one backpack with some valuable things in it and continued on to see PARIS.... First stop was to go to the Hard Rock Cafe before it closed!!!!!!! haha made it but the Kitchen was closed... :( no food there. Got our lovely turisty things and left... went next store proceeded to eat nachos haha in France very good i might add and drank a balinie martini i know i spelled that wrong... Left there and off we went to the Louve!!!! That was a beautiful site even though it was well not lit up.... and as we looked off to the South East i believe no lit up Eifel tower either :( But it was still beatiful to see... Then we proceeded on to see the Arch (haha of what i can't remember) that famous one haha. After that we proceeded to walk to Notre Dame because of course the Metro shuts down a little after Midnight hahah so we walked there.... but stopped once again to see a little light in the middle of the city another late night cafe to stop in... tired, wet, cold, and just worn out we sat down to a cafe o'le, cafe latte, and an 11euro haha coke.... well none the less the place was dry, warm, and friendly. Stayed there till they kicked us out... haha went on to Notre Dame it was gorgeous to see at night that was the one place that was lit up at night and wow was it beautiful to see. haha and met a few nice drunk French young men in the park area haha that was funny... Took many pictures there and continued on to the metro which was now open early moring haha RUSH of people on their way to work... wow that was insane pushing, shoving and many other abnoxious things haha... Got to the Eiffel Tower wow that was amazing to see... took lots of pictures... Then we looked around to see if we could find a near by cafe that was open that we could sort of see the eiffel tower from... haha none to see so i saw some French military people and decided i would ask them if any of them spoke english and if they could recomend some place.... they were niceish and told me down the street to the right found a two to choose from ducked into one and we proceeded to try to order some things.... first two hot chocolates (tyler and my aunt ordered) as they orded those Tyler was still looking at the menu which the girl ripped out of his hands and threw on another table with a rude, discusted look on her face... haha wow our first rude person... We left there as soon as we could and headed back off to the Hostel to get a loaf of bread and some crissonts and get on our way to the airport.... Got on the trains which were now packed and more pushing and shoving and got on the train to the airport and were traveling quickly through to there... Said our good byes because Tyler had to get off a stop earlier than us and my Aunt and I continued on to the stop we needed....
Got inside and proceeded to the board to tells us where we needed to go to get to our plane.... our's wasn't listed yet... sat and waited finally it was on the board proceeded to go to our security area to go through because we already had our boarding passes... haha showed our passports and walla again the lovely rude people of France took over.... No u have too many carry on's.... huh.... we got through in Munich where it was a smaller plane no issues there haha no no no u need to go check one them in.... huh??? We said ok went to go ask about this at the counter were told no u don't have to much here are some tags and continue over there... go back to security still rude lady no no no u can't come through tooo much stuff. I told her we were told it was ok... she said bring someone back to say that to me... fine walk back over told the same person who told us it was ok he showed us to a supervisor who told us well i guess we'll have to check two of ur bags.... now we showed her we already were paying for exess baggage from the other airport haha that wasn't enough she said 300 euros were needed to check both our little carry on's GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR i was about to lose it at this point.... I told her can u please do something for us we are tired, want to go home, have spent enough money and need ur help.... She said ok.... 150 one bag free fine.... ok we'll take it.... did the paperwork sent them on their way praying nothing would break..... (all our breakables in these carry on's and my aunt's coach purse) went to the wrong place to pay our 150 euros but a nice guy behind the counter asked if we had frequent flier miles with them... we said yes he said we can pay this with those.. we wer 2000 short but he said ok we will put i through and the next time u fly with us it will deduct hahah it was freee!!!!!! off we went to security with security stamps on our passports stating we could go through w/o more hassels....
At this point i turn to my Aunt and told her FORGET FRANCE I am never coming back... RUDE and mean people... YUKE!!!!!! Got our little trinkets and got on the plane and flew home... Landed safely and were getting yelled at by the Security girl in the plane no phones while we taxi ok... fine... comes back again right before we docked ahah no phones again.... she was RUDE too haha..... got off plane got through customs and got outside i KISSED AMERICAN SOIL and said i am PROUD TO BE AMERICAN... I missed home.....
Got home nothing of my things were broken miraculously... but my Aunt's bag suffered a little damage.... one stine had a broken handle and one little breakable bunny figurine had a broken ear... but overall we got home safe.... barley but safe.... it was an experience i don't want to experience again....
But seeing Paris at night was fun and quiet without Rude people....haha... Many thanks to my friend Tyler for helping us get through our time there and see all that we did see.... It was a good time then... but yes i must say French people do hate us... Oh well.... Farewell for now..... Pictures will follow on here sometime this week...

Europe to clear the head.
So i have decided that leaving the USA to clear my head of stupid boys helped alot. I am now not feeling like i must be with anyone to enjoy my life... I am happy to be single and living how i please. I have seen and done many things here that if i were with someone i would feel like i couldn´t be free. That doesn´t mean that i have been with other people it just means that i have been able to not have a leash attatched to me so that i would have to call, write, or text to someone just to let them know i am not cheating on them or whatever... I am sick of having a leash on me that says i have to let them know i am fine but for them they can do what they want no way.... it works both ways or not at all. Freedom is a beautiful thing... I will have to post some pictures online when i have a chance. I have seen some beautiful things while i have been here in Austria and I will continue to travel as much as i can... Now i will be saving up for trips all the time. Don´t care if its even in the great USA or all around the world just getting away helps to clear the mind. :) super duper... Gentlemen to exist if u wait for them... Mine´s out there some where.... maybe it will happen soon or maybe i will meet him later... Doesn´t matter for now God, family, school ,and work are the most important things... (family includes friends) life is good just keep on smelling the roses and looking at the glass half full that´s all we can do... SMILE =)
