Thanksgiving Break

My Thanksgiving was a pretty good one this year. I went over to my dad's house along with my boyfriend, Wyatt, and we had the usual feast. My nephew, Alex, was pretty sure that he was going to be the champ of eating the family Chicken Noodles. However, that is not so. I still hold the title. It was quite a nice effort though. After we all stuffed our faced full of food, we played the game with the wrapped gift. If you don't know, that game involves a group of people trying to open the present that has been wrapped in roughly five layers and taped with packaging tape. However, if that doesn't seem to be complicated enough, you have to wear oven mitts. You have as long as it takes for the next person to roll doubles on the dice to open the gift. Dad wrapped this one pretty good this year!!! It took a group of my sister, Nikki (super competitive), Nathan (fairly competitive because Nikki pushes him), Alex (not really playing at all, mainly taking pictures), my brother, Nate (not super competitive), Heather (not competitive), Gwyn (fairly competitive), me (slightly competitive), Wyatt (not really competitive), Hunter (competitive), Dad (the helper and competitive),Sherry (competitive), June (not competitive), Carol (very competitive), and lastly Rich (not competitive), forty- five minutes to unwrap this gift completely. The inside prize was a flashlight that could have a small light or a large light on it; it was pretty cool. After stuffing my face, playing the game, and then eating pie, I was pretty sure that I was going to explode. I believe that most of the family felt that way.

My Black Friday started early for me this year. My Black Friday started at nine thirty on Thanksgiving evening when we ventured to Wal- Mart to endure the crowds. I stood in line with Wyatt to get two new laptops while Ronifer was in line for a new t.v. and my mom roamed about the store trying to find other good deals to snag. We ended up getting everything we came for plus five or so movies; which were on sale for $1.97 a piece!

Friday I worked along with Saturday and Sunday. So my weekend ended up being fairly boring and tiring. I hope all of you had a spectacular break as well!

A Wonderful Day thanks to Wyatt!

Yesterday was probably the most wonderful day of my entire life! I woke up in a fairly good mood which is not unusual, but the staying there part is what is unusual. In my first class I had to make a presentation which I thought went very well. Then, I had a silly lunch with my best friend, Emily. After lunch comes metals, and Eli soldered my box for me so that made me extra happy! Metals is my last class of the day so afterwards I walk my friend to her class and then go out the band doors to my car. I did nothing different yesterday than I normally do, however, this time there was a bouquet of a dozen, red roses; a handwritten note; and a super cute invitation to go on a date with Wyatt written on the windows of my car. The picture below is what I saw at first when I walked up to my car.This is what Wyatt wrote on the windows of my car.
These are the adorable question marks on the side of my windshield.


The roses before I took them out of the plastic and put them in a vase.


The roses after I put them in a vase at home.


Not only did the roses and excitement make my day, but when I got home I decided to go all the way back to 29th street and go to Noble House. My plan for that being that I buy some stones to take a few of and then donate the rest of them to my metals class. The man that runs Noble House has known all about this since the summer and has already talked to my metals teacher. However, they just came up with a plan where the students get good deals on the stones and not necessarily get to choose from them at a school setting. I have found that most kids don't have money to go to Noble House and buy stones even though they are cheap. Noble House ended up giving me twenty stones to donate to my class! It was extremely nice of them!! I am going to make a thank you card and have people in metals sign it.


Went to the dollar store, and the checker complemented the necklace that I was wearing. That make me very happy! Then, on the way home, Blind Melon came on the radio as well as The Black Keys.
I waited for a few hours and then Wyatt showed up to my house to pick me up for the date. Ron was busy so we had to go find him so that he could meet Wyatt. The date was not awkward at all like normal first dates are! At Olive Garden, they offered us wine which we didn't take because we aren't old enough. The waitress also asked us if this is a special occasion and she mentioned a date night out, sort of hinting that we have been together for a long time. But nope, it is our first date. Afterwards, we drove to the mall and walked around. It was very dead in there and so we ended up leaving just to go drive around in the town. We drove around and talked to each other and bonded. I had a wonderful time!!! Thank you Wyatt!

The Date

Last night I went on my first REAL date!!!! I asked him out however. Curious how??? Well, I am going to tell you. On Saturday night this kid from my work experience came to Rocky Horror Picture Show at my theatre. Since I am in the host of Rocky Horror, I have to tell people what they can have and what they can't in the theatre before the movie starts. I went up there and told all of the audience that they can't have water guns because we want to keep nice screens and they can't have fire because for some reason AMC doesn't want us to burn the building down. Then, I said, "Warren, will you go on a date with me?" He said yes! I was so excited at everyone cheered as I walked up the aisle to go out of the theatre. I was blushing so much! He eventually came out and said that he was trying to find a way to ask me out. That made me happy to hear that. This moment completely made my day!
During class, we decided that the date was going to be Tuesday night at 3 Margaritas in Loveland at 6. He was EARLY! Which is a huge brownie point for him in my book. When we walked up to the front door of the restaurant, he HELD THE DOOR for me when I walked in. We got our seats and then looked at the menu. I got the Colorado Burrito and he got a chicken burrito. Mine was delicious! We talked and I thought that I paced myself on the burrito but our date only lasted 30 minutes tops. Not sure how that happened. It was wonderful none the less though.

The DATE!!!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween weekend! I was hosting Rocky Horror Picture Show Friday night, Saturday night, worked Sunday, and hosted again Monday night. Not going to lie, I did freak out and have a mental break down. I sort of ruined the experience for a few of my co-workers. I am very sorry for that Sam, Shane, and Chelsea. At least I got some of the trees cleaned up from the heavy ass snow!
However, the best part of my weekend was when I asked out this kid named Warren! I sit next to him in my work experience class and we occasionally talk to each other, however, he has shown up to Rocky Horror the last few time which I think is pretty amazing. Warren is an IB kid (in a super smart advanced learning experience) and plays a lot of video games so I hope we find something in common except for Rocky Horror. I am slightly worried that the date will be awkward. Maybe it will be good awkward.... Anyways, I am super excited about it. It is at Three Margaritas! I haven't been there in forever! Plus, I think that was the same place that my step dad and mom had their first date together and they are the happiest couple I know. Maybe it will work out in our favor. Only time will tell!
I hope everyone's Halloween was safe and enjoyable! Have a wonderful day!
