cool

It has been forever since i updated. i think it said it has been since the 15th of november or something like that. since then there has been a few things going on. first of all I AM 20 now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  it feels great. i am less than a year away from the best age ever ,21. i also got a new job!!! i love it too. you get to talk to people all day and learn new things about medical stuff. State Farm is probably our biggest customer. i am a tele interviewer. that means i call people all day to get their medical histories for life insurance or disability applications. we also have Primerica, Allstate/Lincoln benefit life, Farmers New World, and a few others. State Farm is my favorite though because it is long and i know most of the questions by memory. you end up leaving a lot of messages though, or sometimes you will call on an order that has already been completed with out even knowing it so you get yelled at by the person. that happens to me very rarely. i like the flirty old guys. they are the best. they make you laugh so much, and they tell you about every little detail. it makes for a boring conversation but it gives you some good talk time. this new job is out in lee's summit. that is about 31 miles from my dad's. i waste one gallon of gas each way. that is ok though because it pays pretty good money. it think it is like $10.50 an hour, for the 3rd shift, which is what i am, and so is jordan. we have email there so we can talk to people that are internal to the company. so i get to talk to jordan quite a bit, unless i am busy. i try to concentrate on my work as much as possible so then i can't really email her all that often. OK, enough about my job.

Christmas was GREAT!!!!!!  i had so much fun. i had 3 Christmas's. My sister wanted to have one with just mom, jeff, cam, and myself. we had that the night before Christmas eve. i got some perfume, and lotion from my sister, chad, and the girls. it smells really good. for dinner there we had PRIME RIB, twice baked potatoes, salad, and a few other things. my mom was nice and let us each have a rock and rye. for those of you who don't know what that is, it is some freakin awesome tasting pop. it tastes like red cream soda kind of. it is something you can only get in michigan. i will talk about that later. for Christmas eve we went over to my grandparents in kearney. there we had shrimp and cheesy meatballs, green beans, rolls, and corn pudding. it was so good. from my grandparents a got ipod skins and an itunes gift card. and from my aunt, uncle and my two little cousins i got, a wally world gift card and a book that i read in high school that i really wanted. it was recently made into a movie by Clint Eastwood. it is called Flags of Our Fathers. i love that book. it is about iwo jima. i really like books that are about history. then on Christmas day my mom made a breakfast casserole that we cooked while opening presents. from my mom and jeff i got, gilmore girls on dvd, another itunes gift card, and a few baking things like, spring form cake pans, a checkerboard cake stencil package, and cooling racks for cookies or cakes. from my brother i got another gilmore girls season on dvd. i only need the 3rd season and i have the complete set. for Christmas dinner we went to my aunt laura's. there we had brisket and ham, broccoli cheese and rice, and green beans, and rolls. it all tasted so good. so that was my Christmas in a nut shell. although i didn't tell you what my dad got me. he said it is for both me Christmas and birthday since they are only a month apart. he got me a new IPOD. my old one broke because someone threw it out the window of a very fast moving car. so i kind of needed a new one. it is a black 30 gig video ipod. i love it. i haven't been able to put any videos on it yet though, because this computer i update from is in the middle of the country so the only way to get high speed internet is through directv. it is expensive. i think it is like 60 bucks a month, which is preposterous. when i get high speed internet at my dads i will be buying all sorts of stuff from itunes with the gift cards i got. ok now that's enough about Christmas.

I just recently went on vacation to michigan again. it was a lot of fun. i didn't want to leave and come back here. i love it up there, probably because i don't go up there very often. i love the neighborhood my grandma lives in. i also got to go to belle isle. you can see canada from there. i have only been there one other time in my life and i was about 8 or 10 so i don't remember it. i took pictures with my phone and i may eventually put them on here but i don't know. i got to see my cousins and my aunts and uncles. not as many as i did in august though. we took the des moines route both ways this time. it only took about 11 hours and 20 minutes both ways. i think that is the shortest time ever, that i can remember anyway.

TODAY IS THE CHIEFS GAME. yes they might get beet but hey, at least they made it ti the play offs. we are having a party at my moms since we have the big screen and HDTV. it looks so cool with sports. it is so much more clear than in regular tv.     that's all for now.

This is probably one of the fatest cats you will ever see unless you actually go searching for bigger ones in which case I don't think you have a life. Anywho, he is my kitty and I love him very much. He is so cute and so chubby. Cody has a call for him when we are up at my moms. It is obesey obesey obesey. My cat loves to sleep in the funniest positions. Sometimes hwill have a paw outstretched into the air or his paws curled.

This picture is of a match box that I found some place. Read it very carefully. If you have to you can read it again.

I have a second picture of the light show that was a while back.

This last picture is of my doggy. His name is Cosmo.He is a Yellow Lab and Pointer mixed. He is VERY playful and energetic. That is probably because he is only 3 years old. He has big paws and is very un coordinated. He runs into wals quite a bit and chases his own tail. He likes to try and eat Opie (my kitty). He can't get close enough to Purcy or Sassy (my other two kitties) cause they try and swat at him with their claws and sometimes they get him pretty good. He did get ahold of another cat that we used to have. His name was Midnight cause he was all black except for this one spot on his neck. Midnight got really sick so we had to put him down.

This is my mom's house that is out in to middle of no man's land. We have 28 acres that includes a 1 1/2 acre pond that is stocked with catfish, blue gill, and bass. I love it up here cause it is so peaceful and at night you can see the stars really really good from that back yard.

This is another picture of one of my girls. It was originally taken in color but we have this new thing called technology where you can change photos to your liking. So my sister changed it to black and white. She is just way to cute. To me anyway.

The Platte County Pirates lost the sectionals game on wednesday. St. Pius X beat us 17- 14. Both teams did pretty good. We had a few fumbles and too many penalties. We helped Pius in scoring the field goal in the last minute. I think we gave them a total of 30 or 35 yards in 3 minutes. There was a facemasking, holding, and a couple of false starts and off sides. That is what was the worst. We basically just said here let us help you beat us. Oh well maybe next year. I want to go to the Pius v. Grain Valley game on Monday if it is at Pius. My dad and i live about 2 miles from the football stadium so it is rather close. I don't have any pictures unless you want to see a sad face. I don't think you want to so I won't post it. That's all for now.

The first three are my three BESTEST friends( told you not to feel left out). You have Jordan who is at work with her funny face, you have Cody who is climbing in a window cause he forgot his key, and then you have Matt that is at the Verizon store. This is the second picture i evr took with my phone. The first one was of Jordan(not my niece). The last picture is of a tattoo that i designed that i want to get. The flower would go behind the H instead of being out in the middle of nowhere. In case you haven't figured it out already Hula is my nickname given to me by Jordan. I liked it so much that i have decided to get a tattoo of it. That isn't the final draft. I need an artist who can actually draw to put together a final draft.
