My Flat

Last Thursday (Veteran's Day, for all you people that live based on National Holidays) I moved into an apartment with the famous Jason Brooke.

Ok, maybe he's not famous, but he's now my roommate. And he's pretty cool. By pretty cool I mean he does the dishes, takes out the trash (When Chris Henninger doesn't), he's funny, and he doesn't bother me when I'm doing hw (He actually helps with it).

So... I am officially a REAL MAN!

Happy Hallow's Eve!

Tomorrow is the good ol' Halloween and I am excited!

haha, not really. I had my fun last night. Steffany Chriss and I went out to dinner and to a dance dressed as a cowgirl and cowboy. I won the coin toss, so I got to be the cowboy this year. :)

I am waiting for the picture to be emailed, but once it arrives, I will be sure to post.

I had almost the entire outfit. I had a brown Royal Stetson hat, a brown cowboy-style button down, short-sleeve shirt, jeans with killer (cow-patterned) belt buckle, cowboy belt, and even a Winchester revolver (yes, a real one) on my hip.

All I was lacking were the boots (and spurs).

Maybe next year I can find a pair of boots my size.

I struggled for the title of this post for a wee-bit... hopefully it lured you in. :)

I finished my first 3 days of Apple customer support training today!

All day Friday, all day Saturday, and all day Sunday. (well, not ALL day, but 9-6 with 2 15 minute breaks and an hour for lunch. So 7.5 hours per day)

Good news, I had a

BLAST!
(Oh, and I got paid for training too. :) )

I love my life.

I just wish everyone could love their lives as much as I do. (I'm not sure if this implies that people have more than one life, but I sure hope you understand what I mean.)

Salute! ... a Benefit for Children with Arthritis

Saturday night I had the wonderful opportunity to co-host a fundraiser at Chaparral Suites Hotel in Scottsdale. It is a fundraiser put on by the Arthritis Foundation to raise money for children with arthritis (yeah, that's what I have.) I was asked to do it a couple months ago, and then it all happened that night. It was very successful, with muchos denero's raised! (that's "much money" in Spanish!)

I had a wonderful time, and was privileged to be accompanied by the wonderfully beautiful Steffany Chriss, Ericka Tucker, and Robin Tucker. All three of my ladies looked wonderful! (Sorry guys, they're taken)

I only captured one thing that night (with my camera... other pictures will be uploaded soon).

Busy, Busy, Busybusybusy week

My life has been major-busy this past week (ish... it's probably been busy since the start of school, but busy is as busy does, as my momma always says.)

So... Story-time. Gather round your chairs, little-ones. I've got a great story to tell you. (This is a long story. It will take a few minutes to read. It's very detailed. If you don't have the time, but would like to hear the good news, skip down to the bottom. (under the picture) It'll say it as the caption for the picture)

A couple months ago, my wonderful friend Anyha, who works at the Apple Store (in Chandler) told me to come into the store, because Apple is hiring. I jumped right on that. C'mon, who wouldn't want to work at Apple, right?
So I made my way down there, and she introduced me to her managers, and I was all friendly and such. They told me how to submit an application online.

So I did.

This was probably back in the beginning of July.

Imagine for a minute a fish

I found a Word file in My Documents with this title

"Imagine for a minute a fish"

it was "last modified" aka created, 4/14/2010 at 3:00AM.

So, curious, and not remembering what I wrote about at 3 in the morning requiring the preface of fish imagery...

I opened it.

This is what I found:

Imagine a fish.

This fish, called Sal, is the fastest fish in the ocean. He is renown across every sea—The Atlantic, The Pacific, The Indian, and even The Arctic. Many fish wish they could swim like Sal. Now imagine another fish. This fish is called Marlin. He is a young fish, ready to take on the world. Growing up, he spent every day training. On non-training days, other fish would challenge him, and lose drastically. This eventually would  

Just in time for the Holidays!

Don't you just love the Holidays?

I wasn't going to post anything tonight.

Today was long. Thank you Steffany for being a great friend.

Here is a wonderful deal for anyone looking for Christmas photos:

These guys are great. Most people only get one photographer. This deal comes with two, who work together like peas and carrots, babies and diapers, calculus and stress, and, oh yeah, husband and wife ;)

Check em out at their site here.

And with that quick shout out, I bid adieu.
