That was an AMAZING Cardinals game. I wish I could have been there! Walk off grand slam to win in the 9th, sweeping the Cubs, and moving up in the race against the Reds. Wow.
Life is going well but seems to always be so busy. I feel like I need to be a hermit for a week so that I can get pulled together. Home was a lot of fun seeing people. I didn't get to see everyone but I worked hard to see a lot. It was great to have Elizabeth in Fort Collins even though I was super exhausted and trying sometimes unsuccesfully to be a good host. Next weekend I start working for Vail selling ski passes. We don't get paid much but we get free season passes and we get like 8 $30 lift tickets so if anyone wants to come visit and go skiing or snowboarding . . . Work is out of control recently but hopefully things are going to start getting better. Currently I do NOT like the kids that are living at the house very much. I'm currently debating with myself whether I should apply for grad schools next fall. I've always known that I might go back but I also knew that I needed a break and I'm glad that I took it. I'm thinking about getting my Master's in Social Work at CSU since I would be able to pay instate tuition there and also continue to pick up shifts at Namaqua so I don't go broke, but we'll see . . . I don't really want to go back to school but at least it would be staff that I wanted to learn. And it's not as expensive as I thought which is good but still I don't know if I want to be doing it or not. Anyone have any advice?
Well I better head to bed but I thought I would do a quick update since I've been busy and a huge slacker.
Oh and soccer started today. We lost but still I love soccer!

i wish someone would explain to me why I think it's a good idea to update in the middle of the night drunk? If anyone knows the answer to this please let me know!

who knew

I'm pretty drunk but I was thinking in my wasted state that I kinda like arguing over politics and religion. I totally support what I believe in and I'm willing to listen to what you have to say but I know what I believe in. It's funny how upset people get . . . especially when they hear that I'm conservative, pro-life, anti sex till marriage, republican, pro-Bush, etc . . . but hey I'm glad I am and I wouldn't change it for the world!
Overall a pretty good day. Nice bumming around and drinkinf with the roomies. Although too much drinking. Maybe we shouldn't have drank everytime we saw a red or blue car!
Hung out with Liz from work today, missing Elizbeth like crazy, wishing it was alumni already!

"I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself
I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
I'm movin' on

I've lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different but they're always the same
They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it
They'll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong
I'm movin' on"
Rascal Flatts- Moving ON

Sometimes I think that this song really hits the nail. I"m glad I moved away from St. Louis but I continue to miss it like crazy all the same. Life sucks. Why are families and loving people so dang complicated? I thought it would be easier. Instead I get to feel like I'm screwing stuff up all the time. Silly world.
I shouldn't drink so much! IM drunk and needing bed. I had to retype each word 30 tines so thqt it was legible!
I am happy to be in CO though - don't get me wrong!
I wish someone would tell me what I should do with the rest of my life. Someone could take me on, like a little project, and work out everything for me!
