I have a feeling this year may be crazy in some ways ;) but im ready and excited for the future! I dunno where i will be in a year or what i will do...but i know that i will be guided and im never alone. I'm so blessed to have my wonderful family who i love dearly and miss...and so blessed for my amazing best friend amalitta as well.

hi :)
So last night i was able to spend the night with my best friend (finally haha) which made me very happy :). I love her so much and dunno what I'd do with out her. Its funny how we dont have to do anything, or even talk yet still have a good night. We were gonna go see a movie, then go bowling...but no....instead we go to the river and listen to country music haha. We dont have to say a word to eachother but we know that we are both there for one another, and thats all that matters. We had nothing to worry bout when I left for school, because our friendship def. hasnt weakened but only gotten stronger haha...I love you best friend. You are an amazing friend and im so blessed to have you in my life :). ...thank you. xoxo

Hey!!!

Alright so I was super excited this weekend cuz I got to see my BEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD! I've missed her so much and being the friend that she is, she drove 4 and half hours to come and visit me in Oregon (Thanks Bestie). We had a pretty fun weekend....we didn't do much other than another amazing biking adventure. It was fun, we made lunches, put them in my basket on my bike...and we were off! haha. We took plenty of fun pictures and had fun video taping us being our goofy selves haha (which turned out to be a funny movie :)...haha). We were gonna find a cute place to eat on the river however my dear BFFE fell and pretty sure broke her finger trying to jump onto a slippery rock.....it was hilarious i have to admit....i got it on video hahahahaha.....(her finger is not so pretty now considering that is how she caught herself....oh dear). We ended up eating on a giant rock away from the dangerous slippery rocks along the river haha but we had a lot of fun. We went to dinner with my friends at a cute little Italian restaurant...Bebe gaints or something (ok thats not the name i don't speak Italian haha). Dinner was fun and we had plenty of laughs...there were some really cute guys sitting near by with amazing accents that made our hearts melt haha....it was fun. Overall, I had a good weekend, my best friend cheered me up and reminded me once again how blessed I am to have her in my life. I miss her already but will be talking to her later so its not so bad haha. I love you Amalitta! So yeah....i had a great weekend and just want to say i love life and.... 2 more months...hehe. love u bffe. Hope you all have a happy day...smile cuz ur loved :) :) xoxo ps- sis if you read this i love you mucho and miss you and all the fam too!!! xoxo

Trip home for Winterfest ;)

2009-01-21T10:25:00.000-08:00

Erica and Chelsea admiring my horsies :)

I got to see my BFFE!!!...so exciting :)

Me and my crazy friends from Oregon...haha

Me and Erica

HI!!!!!

Well, I'm doing everything I can to avoid homework so I decided I should write about my weekend. I'm so happy I got to come for Winterfest. It was fun because I brought my roommate Chelsea and my other friend Erica...it was the first time Chelsea had been to Washington! Chelsea (other friend chelsea haha....its confusing) drove us back up to Washington, after a LOT of car problems we finally made it. Friday night was fun because my best friend spent the night with us and she got to meet my Oregon friends who practically already knew her haha. We had fun, although I don't think we ever actually did anything....other than Erica and Amalitta making me do a 1 push-up.....i know its sad I can't do one push-up okay jeeze haha....i was SO SORE the next day. Anyway, Saturday we went to my brother's basketball game which was fun. Erica enjoyed especially enjoyed....it was funny she was getting stressed and anxious cuz it was a close game. Then we decided we should dye Chelsea's hair (it was purple/red color), although it didn't seem to change haha....oh well. Saturday night was great because we got to see Winterfest! I was impressed by the show, everyone did a great job. I thought my best friend did a freaking amazing job on her solo, and my sisters too! Everyone looked great on stage. Erica was impressed with the dancing and Amalitta's choreography :).....good job bestie. It was weird to watch the show and not be in it though :( . I'm so glad we came to see it! It was nice to see my family too....I miss them and love them dearly! We took the train back...which was an interesting ride back haha (long story). Monday since we had no school, Erica and I rode our bikes to the river and wrote our papers that were due along side the river (how cute haha). We were there for about 4 hours!!Then we had to leave cuz i was frozen, but it was a gorgeous day. Well that was basically my weekend :). I love and miss you all and wish you a smiley day :) xoxoxo

Back at School :)

2009-01-08T10:56:00.000-08:00

Hey guys!

So...as you all know I'm back in Oregon!!!! I thought I'd include a picture of my dorm since its a lil more decorated and of course colorful :). I'm excited I have a hot pink chair that swivels....its kinda distracting haha. I'm definetly stocked up on food that is for sure! I love costco....my roomie when she walked in was like Oh my GOSH (haha) wow Nikky, cuz my WHOLE shelf is filled with food....oh jeeze. But I have to eat right? Anyway, I'm glad to be back in Oregon. I loved seeing my family and siblings but at the same time i like my freedom and missed my friends here as well. And I've officially decided i hate 8AM classe!!!ugh, my stretch class is kinda fun....my teacher is very odd, and i'm definetly more flexible than she is...its sad. But its an easy class....i get a sticker for coming early haha (its like kindergarten all over again!). I'm glad i'm taking more dance classes t his term cuz i've missed it. Well....i'm not sure what else is to say other than I'm super excited to see winterfe9st next weekend, and that Chelsea is coming to visit me next Wed. and then driving me, Chelsea (my roomie), and Erica back up to Washington to see the show! :) It'll be fun and everyone can meet my crazy friend Erica and my roomie! Well, I've got to get ready for ballet so thats about all I'll say for now. Love and miss you all! xoxoxo have a super smiley wonderful day :)

The Moracon Restaurant

Ice Skating :)

HI! :)

So, I have to admit that Saturday was pretty fun. To celebrate my best friend's birthday we had quite a day haha. We went ice skating, went to Bellevue Square Mall, and then went to a Moracon Restaurant in Seattle for dinner. It was quite a day and soo much fun. I hadn't been ice skating in very long time....and i only fell ONCE (despite what titta says haha)!!!yeah...go me haha! (i'm proud of myself). Shopping was fun....although I wish I had money to spend....and if only i didn't find several things I couldn't get now... ;). The Moracon Restaurant was a lot of fun too, and def. an adventure. I just liked how both me and Melissa got to sit on pillows on the floor, while everyone else got to sit on the bench.....thanks guys haha jk....Melissa and I enjoyed the floor (kinda haha)! Overall I'd say we had a pretty fun day and then had some more fun that night playing hide n go seek (yeah...i know its sad....but we can never be too old for that game haha). I will say I did NOT like being scared to death by my bestie though....with her stupid Christmas tree hiding place haha...jk it was a pretty good hiding place ha. So yeah...I must say I enjoyed hanging out with a bunch of my favorite people on Sat. Love you Jessica, and the rest of ya! Love you best friend and hope you had a merry birthday celebration haha and Melissa you are pretty amazing too :). Merry Christmas....yikes thats NEXT WEEK!!!! xoxoxo peace n love

At the river...me and Erica

Hi! Wow, so yesterday was such happy day :) ! I don't know where to begin....haha. Well, besides waking up early for my 8 AM math class with a quiz....I had a good morning. I talked to my bestie and we had a nice talk on the phone and laughed, then I took a nap and fell asleep till 10:45...oops. I woke up to my dearest friend calling me haha (thanks Titta). Then i decided to straighten my hair and Chelsea, Erica, and I all decided to go on a bike ride to the river. Before leaving though my friend Jenny called and I was super excited to hear from her...she went back home to Utah and I miss her, talking to her made my day and put me ina very happy mood. So yeah...we packed a lunch, rode our bikes to the river, talked, took pictures, talked some more, laughed, and had such a relaxing day. Then we went and saw sooo many ducks and geese....and yeah we took pictures with them haha (i know we're weird haha but it was fun). We saw a pretty intense geese fight too haha. After, we went to Safeway to get some food then came back exhausted yet still happy :). I definetly ate 4 peanut butter and nutella sandwhiches yesterday...yikes! I tried it with bananas...SOOO GOOD! haha. I'm getting fatter by the minute haha. I'm watched a movie with another friend tonight...which was fun too. I'm so thankful for my dear friends here and miss my friends and family back home too. I'm so excited for Thanksgiving and to see everyone!!! :). I just feel so blessed to have had such a happy day :). Love and miss you all! xoxoxo

Hey!!! So, I should be doing my homework right now but I'm really not in the mood....haha. It's finally Halloween!!!! So, tonight was the Bean Basement Halloween Bash/Dance/Whatever you wanna call it haha. It was actually a lot of fun and everyone got dressed up. I just liked how all the girls were wearing very tight, short, low cut costumes.....then there was me....haha. I chose to go as a little girl on Christmas morning dressed in cute Christmas pajamas with snowflakes and little penguins on them, obnoxiou froggy slippers, and pigtails with little bows :). Yep, totally me! haha. I was very comfy you could say wearing my slippers. Tonight was a lot of fun hanging out with my friends and we had fun taking pictures. Chelsea was a peacock and looked super cute, Sarah a cowgirl, then there was Erica the lion....haha. Well, I just realized it is 2 AM and I have class at 8AM..ahhhh...so I love and miss you all very much and.......HAPPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!! xoxo

Girls Night Out

2008-10-25T11:53:00.000-07:00

Hello!

Ok, so last night my friends decided that we all needed to go out and do something (although they were talking more about how I need to get out...haha), so we decided to get all dressed up and go see a movie and go out to dinner. It ended up being a lot of fun. Before leaving the dorms though we had an interesting experience that taught all of us a lesson...haha. But i won't talk about that...Anyway, we decided to see Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, and it was really good. We all thought it was cute because there was four of us that went to go see it (and there is four girls in the movie...awe haha). I have to admit it was kinda a hard movie to watch because it made me miss my best friend even more! (and my own sisters!). It didn't help that my bestie kept calling me several times in the movie....which just kept reminding me of her :(....but "it's all good" (that's my new line haha) because i will get to see you Amalitta soon when i come home for Thanksgiving...ok its still a month but i'm counting the days. I miss my family too :). Anyway, after the movie we decided to go to dinner at Roadhouse Grill...which i AMAZING! We are totally going there again soon because the food is so yummy :)... I LOVE food haha (i'm theo remember haha). After dinner we all went to Sarah's apartment and hung out till 1:30 and then my roomie and I decided to go back to my dorm and make hot coco. I would say it was a pretty fun night. Well, I have to leave for class in 10 min so i gotta get going ugh....Love and Miss all of you guys soooooo much. I hope you have an amazing day!!!! ....wow i'm def. in a happy and excited mood again...haha oh dear :). xoxo

ps-I'm a lil challenged when it comes to putting pictures on here so I couldn't figure out how to put captions on the pictures above and I want you to know who they are so...The top pictures is me and my fabulous roommate Chelsea. Next is crazy Erica and I (she's amazing too and has helped me cheer up at times...). And then there is Sarah, my ballarina friend :)...she's hoping to make the Eugene Ballet Company...she's SO good at ballet and adorable. wow...so i really am challenged...i said that all backward...it goes sarah, then erica, then chelsea is the bottom pic...haha sorry. Love ya

Got to see my best friend :)

2008-10-16T15:45:00.000-07:00

I'm so happy.....so last night at 1 am Amalitta and I finally figured out how to work skype and actually got to see eachother (SO EXCITING). I love new technology haha. Talking and actually seeing my gorgeous best friend made my night. I miss her soo much and it made me happy to see her smiling face. Now i just need my family to get a webcam haha. Who knew talking to a computer could be so much fun :). So, anyway that is my exciting news for the day. Love and miss you all! xoxoxoxo

2008-10-07T23:05:00.000-07:00

Hey!

Ok....so I gotta love my friends. So last night, we all got tired of studying and wanted to take some pictures to share with everyone. Then my roommate Chelsea decided we should dress up in all the different costumes she brought and we decided to take pictures of us with her HUGE duck stuffed animal. It was such a random and fun thing to do. We got some odd looks from people in the hallway as people walked by and we're in these ridiculous costumes taking random pictures. However, it definetly was a fun way to take a break from studying haha. I love both Erica and Chelsea. They are two very fun people. I'm so glad Chelsea and I get along great together as roommates as well. Erica just happens to live across the hall from us.....she's kinda like our adopted roomy cuz she's always over in our room....her roommates kicked her out before haha (its kinda funny). I'm with Erica all the time since we have almost the exact same schedule so we seem to do everything together :). Well, I miss all of you friends back home (and my amazing sis jess who I can't wait to see Fri.). Speaking of friday.....I can't wait till I have my bike....Chelsea's bike is wayyyyy tooo small for me and the brakes don't work and well...anyone who knows me well knows that thats not safe for me haha. Anyway, I'm supposed to be finishing my homework so I gotta go. Peace and Love :)

Ps- Best Friend I LOVE YOU!!!!

I love Oregon Go Ducks!

2008-10-02T13:38:00.000-07:00

Hey!

So, my best friend Amalitta has been telling me i need to write another blog and since I finally have a break I decided to write one now haha. I don't even know (haha...famous line) where to begin. I feel like I have been here forever already yet it's only been a week. I have to say that I love it so far. I've met some really cool friends....and a ton of other people that i don't remember their names (i feel kinda bad haha). My roommate is really cool, she's an art major so her side of our dorm room is super cute and creative. We've had so many people come by our dorm and tell us how cute it is :). I like my class schedule (for the most part at least haha), i'm done with class 9 Am on fridays.....SO NICE!!! however it really sucks having to get up early for 8 AM classes 4 days a week when Chelsea gets to sleep in till ten every morning....whatever :). Lets see what else.....well there's been a lot going on but i'm not gonna go into great detail here....:) but overall I love the school, the people, and my friends. I miss my family....all of them (i miss seeing you jess every mornin before school!) and of course my bff Vinny haha (love you girlie). Well, i have to go read a play with some friends for my intro to theatre class (which i love so far...who knew? haha), then i'm going to some dance auditions, so wish me luck :). ttyl love u all xoxo

My BEST FRIEND

2008-09-19T20:14:00.000-07:00

So... in the last few weeks I've had some wonderful experiences that I will never be able to forget and will cherish, and today after spending the night at my best friend's house it got me thinking about something........it hit me once I got home just how blessed I am to have a friend like her. I'm so blessed to have so many wonderful friends in my life, however this girl makes me forever grateful that God put her in my life. We're an odd match and totally different in so many ways, yet PERFECT for eachother. It's strange to think we havn't even been actual friends for a full year yet, although we've danced together for several years. I truly believe God had it planned all along for us to become friends this past year, and that He had perfect timing :). After sharing many good and bad times together, dance competitions, so many talks, late night phone calls, random adventures on Friday nights haha, tears, and many laughs....we have bonded and become best friends. I just wanted to take the time to say thank you Amalitta. You have helped me in so many ways, and I love you soooo much. My best friend is truly amazing, and an inspiring (yet crazy haha) girl. I know we will ALWAYS be able to count on eachother no matter where we might be. She will forever and ever be my best friend! All the memories we've shared this year and over the summer I will never forget, and forever cherish. I will never forget all our crazy things we've done together like our double biking adventure haha, our odd telepathy :) that nobody but us seems to understand, or all the deep talks we've had about just about everything...and I know we will have plenty more to come. It's going to be so hard to say goodbye in a couple days when I leave for Oregon, but at the same time I know I will not be saying goodbye but simply "see you later." Everytime I ever see a rainbow from now on, I will always think of two things....one: that rainbows+lucky charms=true happiness, so that means I have to smile :)... and two: I will remember that I have an amazing best friend, Amalitta.....aka vinny haha. Vinny + Theo=friends forever. peace and love ttyl

2008-09-19T00:53:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone...

So this is my first post :) And I have no idea what to talk about so I'll just tell you about my summer... a little bit. This summer has been AMAZING :) It has been a summer I'll will never forget... that is for sure. I got to go on a 3 week roadtrip to florida for a National dance competition (talk about a long freaking drive haha). Nationals was a lot of fun, and one of my favorite parts was simply hanging out with my amazing, crazy, obnoxious, but oh so loving best friend Amalitta :). After, I got home from Florida I had fun just simply relaxing and enjoying the sun. I got to babysit my adorable baby cousin a lot through out the summer, he's so cute. After my best friend got home from her trip to Colorado we had a LOT to talk about haha. I picked her up at the airport and then we met up with her boyfriend Tony and headed to Eatonville Falls (not a safe place for me haha)...I def. bit it more than 3 times and left with several bruises....ouch. But it was a fun trip that I'll always remember not to mention beautiful...I owe my bestie a new camera now because of it...that's another story :). Since she's been home, we've shared some pretty incredible talks and experiences, not to mention her friend Liz got in on a few :). I'll never forget all the intense memories that I will cherish forever. I leave in 5 days for college...ahhhhh GO DUCKS...Quack haha. I'm excited for school, but not gonna lie its going to be super difficult to say goodbye (I mean see u later) to my best friend and my wonderful family who I love so much. ttyl peace and love :)
