today is what i would consider the best day ever (ok so i can think of better days), but today is pretty amazing. i think you all know how much i love cold, rainy weather, mostly because cold weather means SNOW. last night i slept with my window open, and when i woke up this morning i was consumed by the sounds of my chattering teeth, and the feeling of prickly, goose bumped legs!!!
as soon as i took my first deep breath and felt the cold air fizzle through my lungs i couldn’t help but smile. so i got up, ate breakfast and laid in my cozy bed. after few hours of reading i decided that i wanted to go outside and enjoy the cold weather. what better way to enjoy the cold then to run in it!!! AHHH i was so excited i could bearly wait. i hoped out of bed put on my thick black leggings, my patagonia thermal and laced up the nikes and hit the road.
the second that i walked outside my smile widened and my music was cranked. i began walking through the cold air, and snowy rain. as i began walking i got faster, and faster until i was in a full run. i love running, i never really loved it when i was younger, but now i really feel like i can’t live without it… sometimes i truly even crave it! so anyways, i ran and ran and ran, until i noticed that it was really getting snowy (well thick slushy rain) and i didn’t want to kill ANOTHER ipod.
then when returning home from my glorious run i took a steamy hot shower, and jumped back into my pajamas. one thing that i love to do when it is cold is bake… the warm oven feels so good on my chilled face, and hands!!! so i did what any girl would do, i made cookies. YUM. so now with the rest of the day ahead of me i plan on doing one thing, and that is laying in my cozy bed, while watching Jon and Kate plus 8 marathon, and read my final twilight book (only five hundred pgs left 
).
back to work in the a.m. NO!!!

- a five day weekend- o yes i love it, a five day weekend and nothing to do!!! this is the first weekend this summer that i have had totally free… no work, no drives to red lodge, no weddings, no moving, no painting, and no stressing over school!!!! just me my bed, and the latest Twilight saga… i will be writing a post on that book series just as soon as i finish the last book (700 pgs to go!!!)
- my cozy little room- i recently moved out of my drab basement apartment apartment and into a house with my friend katie. where i not only have a garage to park my car in, a hot tub to soak my tired body in, and a rent check that is almost $250 dollars cheeper a month, but i also have the ability to paint my room. so the first weekend here i spent the weekend painting my walls a pear green color… all but one, the remanding wall is a wine red color, it is amazing, and my room looks stellar ( i will post pics soon).
- Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight Series- these four books have changed my life, i am soooo serious. i know it sounds crazy, but i was a sceptic when i started them, and i am a total believer. she is an amazing writer, and Bella and Edward are all that i can ever wish for in a romance.
- Mortimer- this is my stuffed moose that i have had since i was 6. he is very beet up, and the wired in his ears are falling out, and poking me, but he sleeps with me every night and keeps the monsters away.
- Northern Exposure- i love this show, i fall asleep to it almost every night. growing up i lived in a town my like Sisely Alaska so i can really relate to it.
- Beads- i have spent most of the weekend creating new pieces of jewelry this weekend and i love beads.
- sodaku- this is my dad’s favorite game, and i just thought i would give it a shout out, i love playing it with him!
- the fish blanket- this is a quilt that my mom made when i was really young. ever since she pulled the last stitch i have claimed it as my own, and when i moved back to MT i stole it from her. now that it is turning cold again it dawns my bed every night, it has so many memories, and it keeps my toasty warm… even if it doesn’t match my decor at all.
- the snow- it is in the forecast for tonight!!!!
- my dad- i love him so much. he makes me proud to be his daughter, and for that i will always be thankful!

as most of you can tell from my previous blogs i change my mind as many times as i change my clothes. ALOT. over the past few years i have been battling with getting my college education, of course i always wanted to go to school… and finish, that was never the question. my problem has been picking a major, picking a university, staying at that university.
well now here i am in my fourth, and suppose to be my final year of college, and i am pooped. i am so tired of school that i could just give up (not really), but i am tired. i had a meeting with my advisor last week and was told that because of the difference in art programs (PBA to MSU), and the credit transfer problems it would be another 3 years before i could plan on graduation… that includes summer school. WHAT. i have already gone 3 full years, and frankly i CAN’T do another 3.
as i left his office that sunny and depressing afternoon tears began to fall from my eyes and the only words i could compose were those that i don’t feel comfortable spelling out on my blog for the world to see. i had so many questions in my head, and so many problems with my “three year revelation”.
i thought long and hard for the next three days, racking my brain for new possible situations, but i just couldn’t come up with anything. ya sure i could change my major, but what the point when i know that all i want to do with my life is art. i thought about going back to PBA for a quick fix, suffering through another 3 years at MSU, or just quitting all together and skipping the country (ha i wish). but then the answer hit me, i have always wanted to go to art school, where you can get a 4 year degree in 2 years, and all the life experience in the art world that one could ever need. and for the EXACT same price as 3 years at MSU. the answer was right there in front of me the whole time, i just had to reach out and grab it!!!!
so although i am bursting at the gut to go to art school i have decided to take the year off, i am going to work (at the dentist office, and at the mountain), ski, and travel. then next year at this time i will be in a new exciting place going to school for a degree that i will use, and love!!!! i am checking out the art institutes in Chicago (#1 on my list), Atlanta (#2), Denver, Seattle, and New York… even though my parents would rather my jump off the Brooklyn bridge then live in NYC. HAHA.
i have my first interview (phone interview) on Friday the 12th with the Art Institutes of Atlanta, and Seattle. wish me luck. and pray that i can keep my sanity this year as i await my future!
o p.s. as most of you are probably aware if i do move back to the city i will be selling off all of my belongings including my truck (yikes) so if you want anything, stake your claim now… and be prepared to pay the price IM POOR!
