alive.

hey, just checkin' in. not alot has happened in our lives as of recently, hence the "non-updated" blog. sorry.

Today Mike started a new phase in school and this is the last phase in the core program; after this phase he will move into his elective ("fun") phases. I can't believe how time flies.

I am over half way done with my 2nd block (block=9 weeks/2 classes). A lot more to go.

I'm thinking a lot about the future lately. With the economy being not so good, I'm worried Mike is going to have a hard time finding a job. His school will help place him in one, but who knows the future. And I have come to the realization that I'm totally "out-of-luck" for finding a job anytime soon. I'm not really looking right now but every once in a while I put an application in here or there. No luck. There are a lot of questions and worries running through my mind. Just taking it day by day though.

Anyways, I can't believe it's Mid-Feb already, it's almost spring!!! We are trying to settle our situation with the motorcycle we bought, so we can ride it again (now that it's getting warmer out) ...we haven't gotten the title yet...:( If we don't hear from the previous owner by March 15th, we are going to start the court process, which we really do not want to do.

Well that's about it, not too interesting, I warned you. I promise my next post, whatever it is, will be a lot more interesting.

Once.

No video this time, sorry folks.

one word: Once.
another word: Moved.
two words: awesome music.

If you love music and you want to be inspired by pure emotion and simplicity of friendship and music, please, please, please enjoy this movie.

The story line is simply about 2 people meeting and their journey in a music adventure. Ending...exactly where they both should be.

Set in Ireland, love love love.

This may be my new favorite movie...and I'm sad that i haven't watched it sooner (it came out in 2007).

***the reason behind the rated "R" is that they say the F-bomb alot, but not in a vulgar/sexual way....it's like how Americans always say "Crap." ...there is no sexual content or violence***

Up to date.

So if you watched Jan 13th video, you would know I really want a Wii...anyways, after you view this video, you will realize that I got one. Good things come to those who wait. I haven't just wanted one since the 13th I've wanted one for a long time. Thanks to this Christmas season I now own one! It''s good fun! :)

This was a blog from Jan 13...

you know when you listen to music and it takes you back to a certain place or time. yea i'm listening to music that reminds me of seattle. i miss it. don't get me wrong i love where we are now, but there is just something that always pulls me back to seattle.

anyways. waiting for mike to come home from school. not a whole bunch happening right now.

I'm still learning about myself as the days go by. I would love to be someone who has it all figured out, but I'm just not.

I realized that I'm a "phaser" --as mike calls me. I start something and I fade out of it within a couple of days, weeks, months, whatever the length of time may be. I think that is a big reason that I have not accomplished pretty much anything in my life. Thats why I think I'm not further along with music, school, or life in general. I lose motivation quickly. I hate this part of me.

How do i change? How do I continue with something? I don't know, because even if I'm motivated in the beginning, i lose it. How do i keep the motivation?

I don't know...

On another note, I've been keeping up with everyone's blog, i love reading about people's lives and journeys. I look back at my blog, boring at times, yes, I can't believe I have like 5 years of blogging on this site...i guess i didn't phase out of this! Old faithful.

Well I think I'm calling it quits for tonight. Thanks for reading, faithful readers of mine!

quiet.

so life is back to normal.

mike is in his 3rd phase in school with new teachers and mostly same students.

I'm in my last week of my first 2 classes, monday I will start my next block (2 classes). this week is crazy with my school. i have 2 major projects due, one is done, but my 2nd project is really stumping me. i'll get it done though.

heather is gone. it was a blast having her here for 2 weeks. lots of laughs, lots of adventure, fun holidays. as the pics showed below...we went to LA, Santa Monica, Venice, San Francisco, downtown Sac. it was good to get a chance to get down to SoCal.

I think our dogs are depressed because the lack of people and activeness. They've been sleeping a lot lately.

I'm looking into different volunteer opportunities in Sacramento. I feel I have so much time on my hands that I want to do something more than just sitting on my butt. I have school, yes, but I do still do have quite a bit of time that I could be using for good use.

I don't know...I'm thinking helping blind people play Bingo. haha! what you think??

I'm not the best with strangers, striking up convos with random people, so I'm thinking maybe I'm volunteer at the Humane Society and hang out with dogs.

I'm still looking, we'll see what I come up with.

this is kind of a boring post, but whatev.

Break:3

Today we went to San Francisco (2nd time for mike and I-1st time for heather), one of the most awesome-est cities ever! seriously love it. we went to chinatown, jeer-a-deli square, and Golden Gate Bridge...enjoyed every second...
