Lia Sophia

Since I have been hanging out with Becca so much lately, I thought it would be nice to invite her to a Lia Sophia party that I was going to. Don't know what Lia Sophia is? Well it's jewlery!

Friday night after we were both done with work, Becca came over so we could get a quick work out in. Saturday we both worked, and Tony and I got to hang out for the night. Tony has been super busy with work projects so I haven't seen must of him lately. It's usually very breif and just for dinner, then he has to go back to his computer to work yet some more.

Sunday Becca showed up at my place around 11:30 a.m. and we headed to my friend Chris's place. There was lots of awesome food and drinks provided by her, and it was great to catch up with her while buying jewlery. Chris is a long time family friend, and used to babysit me and my sister, and now that we are all older, she's a great person to hang out with!

Here is the stuff I bought! The pictures aren't that great because I had to take a picture of a picture on the internet! I won't have the jewlery for about another week or so.


I have always liked having a pair of plain small hoop earrings, but I am sick of buying them from claires or other stores because they always break. Hopefully these ones will hold up better, and if they don't, it's nice to know that Lia Sophia has a lifetime gaurantee and will replace them for me at anytime.




These earrings caught my eye several years ago when I saw them at a friends party. I at the time couldn't afford them though. At this party there was a deal where if you bought once item, you could get the next two items at half off, and they could be the most expensive pieces!


This ring is my favorite one! It's called Ocean..hmmm I wonder why :)



I absolutely love pearls and have been looking for a nice pearl ring for a while, that I could afford! I have found several at local jewlery stores, but they have all been over $100 and I can't spend that kind of money on just one item right now. When it comes it will be one of the first rings I wear.



This ring is just a fun every day wear ring! I don't have to be dressed up, or going out for a special occasion. I can wear it anywhere and with everything and that's what I love about it.



Thumb rings are great and this is exactly what this one will be used for!


Here is my partner in crime! I love having her living so close by so that we can hang out and lots :)

January!

January has been a busy month so far, with lots of fun happenings :)

At school I discovered that I can fit into the cat kennels! I know what you're thinking....and maybe that's weird, but you have to remember that I'm in school to become a Vet Tech so these kinds of things should be expected :)

Krista and I can both fit into the bottom ones, and I can fit into the top ones by myself. I think we could squish a third person into the bottom ones with us, and it would make for a hilarious picture!

My friend Becca and I also had a margarita and movie weekend. She came over on a Saturday evening and we went to cub to get the needed ingredients, and some redbox movies! We also hit up pizza hut for some food and had a fabulous time just hanging out and being silly, watching movies, playing board games, and chatting.

Becca and I have also started working out together. I need/want to lose some weight so that all my fun clothes will once again fit me, and we both want to look good in the swim suits we own. We are hoping to be able to go swiming in Vegas, which is now only five weeks away so we have come up with a schedule that allows us to work out together 3-5 times a week! So far it's going great and I feel good, hopefully my swim suit will fit in five weeks :) I just keep telling myself I cant do it, I can do it. LOL

I also went to a Lia Sophia party on the 16th, and took Becca with me. That will be another post though because I want to put up pictures of all the stuff I bought!

Hodge Podge of Stuff

The first week of my second to last quarter of my college career went off with out a hitch! I have classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and so far there is a lot of homework. Luckily though my Wednesday class is only 8 weeks long, were my other two are 12 weeks long.

I can't believe that April will be the start of my final 3 months in school....hopefully forever! I will also have to do an externship at this point. I am looking towards doing that at a large animal clinic, or an emergency clinic. Last week I sent out 3 resumes with cover letters to some large animal clinics. I hadn't heard back form any of them yet though. Since I need to get the ball rolling on this, I called my number one choice of clinic. I was able to speak to the manager and set up a date to have a working interview. It's not until Feb. 8th, but I'm super excited for it. Next week at school we have a meeting with the Vet Tech program coordinator to get all the needed details of our externship. I'm sure there is a lot of info. I am super excited yet terrified at the same time to do my externship.

This week (Thursday to be exact) I also got my pearly whites cleaned! My Mom is my hygienist, and I'm totally not lying when I say that I enjoy going to the dentist! I love the feel of walking out of the dentist office and having nice smooth, clean teeth. After my appointment, Mom took my sister Katie and I out to lunch at a restaurant called pinstripes. Katie works there. It was nice to sit back, relax, enjoy a bottle of wine, and share some food with my family. I love being around them.

So kind of a funny story.....two nights ago I was going to take a picture of my new shoes I bought. I went to sit on the floor and I heard a RIP! I tore a big hole in the crotch/very upper leg of my jeans. Now tonight I had to go buy a new pair, because I don't have any other jeans at the moment. I was successfully able to find a pair, and I was also able to find a fabulous carry on bag at TJMAXX. I will use it in February when I fly to Vegas!

Isn't it cute?!?!
