..moving..

We are moving this weekend..last minute decision so I will post pictures soon of graduation and my family visiting..until then...
I would like to know why caps and gowns are so unattractive..?? Can't I get a sweet fitted gown with no weird cap and maybe like a cute necklace? haha What are your thoughts Gretchen??

..7 things..

Thanks to Darah, I've been tagged and will share 7 random things about myself. I was tagged months ago by Jenn and completely forgot about it! Sorry Jenn!

1) I am oddly fascinated with serial killers. Having grown up in Washington state, (where all the good ones come from-good serial killers..what?) I saw them on the news all the time and began to follow their stories. I like to research them and see their killing profiles. I think I like Ted Bundy and his story. Sick, I know. But he has connections with a man in my church. They were friends in elementary school and shared the same birthday! And then I like the Green River Killer but just because he was being held in Shelton, WA for awhile and we wanted to work on his teeth at our oral surgeon’s office (long story but that is the main point) Then, I think my all time favorite is the DC Sniper. Yuck..this one is bad. I have been so fascinated with this case, why so random? Why all ages? Why? And then it, of course, had ties to the Northwest. And they made a sweeeet made for tv movie called DC Sniper: 21 Days of Terror. Remember when I use to watch that all the time, mom?? I think I watched it at least 10 times.

2) I truly believe that all the F.R.I.E.N.D.S. characters are real. I mean, I watch them everyday and spend more time with them then any other people. Is there something wrong with that? I think so…and I reference most everything to the show, it’s pretty sick and actually quite pathetic.

3) Jesse and I met just shortly after having had a gall bladder attack. That’s right, just left the hospital emergency room and was home resting. I had been in the hospital till 4am and then was sitting on the couch when I heard his roommate down below (we were on the 2nd story). I went outside and saw all 3 of the boys. That is not the first time I had seen him though. I had a mini crush on him months earlier when I first saw him. I just knew him as “Brianne’s cute neighbor”. Didn’t learn his name for a while. But when I saw him again that day in 2005, I was in awe :) Never had a crush that big!

4) I am actually quite a negative person and have grown more negative over the past 3-4 years. Kind of lame and I don’t like it but I feel like right now, I can’t change it. I have grown to be less friendly and more harsh..maybe LA is ruining my life ;)

5) I like to create monologues while I am in the shower and practice them throughout the week. Call it talking to yourself..I say they are monologues :)

6) I am actually afraid of pregnancy and childbirth. It is to the point where I don’t know if I want children. If people continue to tell me their horror stories, the Weldon name will never be passed on. Maybe that’s the answer to overpopulation. Scare all the young women like Melissa.

7) I hold onto the most random things ever. I start sorting through things and start laughing at the random crap I find! It must have been important to me at some point!

..new home, party, finals..

Jesse and I found a place to live!!! WHOO HOO!! I will post pictures soon because we want to surprise my family with the view/paint color/kitchen..all that stuff! BUT we did see it and fell in love! It is in Valencia a newer part called Westridge. We decided to spend the extra money for the beautiful view. Now I can start looking for a puppy to get too :) We wanted a 2 bedroom condo we looked at but this one bedroom is much nicer and a great size. We signed our lease for December 20th. We can start moving in less than 2 weeks! YAY!!!

After finding our new home, Jesse and I went to his company Christmas party. We had a fun evening of drinks, dinner, and dancing. It was fun to get dressed up and meet all his co-workers. He is the youngest manager so it was kind of funny to see them all together. He is like at least 10 years younger then everyone else! hahaha We stayed the night at the same hotel in Van Nuys so we could enjoy lots of fun drinks! Here are some pictures from the evening:




My fun outfit for the evening :) Love my boots!


THEN on the way home we stopped for lunch and we saw a B2 Stealth Bomber. Jesse freaked out and I was like "what the heck is that?!" So I had to snap a picture and then do some research on it when I got home. The B2 was in our area flying over the funeral for former Secretary of the Air Force Vern Orr. It was quite a sight and so close. So many people have commented on it on blogs and other websites. It is rather spectactular to see up close. I am so use to seeing these types of miltary stuff in Washington but never down here! It was quite cool!



Okay, I need to study for a math final, theology final, finish writing a small paper, prepare a funny presentation, and then study for consumer...ohh and clean the apartment for my family's arrival! 3 days!!!
