Horray, Fall is here! My most favorite time of the year! I can’t wait for the leaves to change to beautiful yellow, orange and red masterpieces! And not to mention Halloween! Well, well, well..I obviously need to work on my Blogging skills. The main reason why I haven’t blogged in so long is because I feel I have so much I’d like to blog about, yet when it comes to me actually blogging, I go blank. Go figure! But really, so much has happened. If I didn’t put off blogging so badly I wouldn’t have such humongous updates to deal with. Well, here we go!

I bought a car a couple of weeks ago off Craigslist! It’s a bright red 1993 Toyota Tercel with 133,000 miles on it (which is nothing for a Toyota car!). I know it’s kinda old, but I think it’s absolutely adorable! We got an amazing deal for it- $1400 for the car plus 4 new snow tires. I’t sos much fun to drive around! Compared to my last car, a 1999 Hyundai Accent, I like my Toyota a lot more. Andy says it fits me perfectly and calls it my little Ladybug I really want to get a ladybug antenna ball now! I’ve already put some extra money into it (new stereo and speakers, steering wheel cover, exterior paint wax, etc.) and could not be happier!

Last week Andy and I brought the kittens to PetSavers in the valley to be fixed. All went well except Gray came home with a terrible bladder infection. I went ahead and took him to the vet the very next day and he was put on some antibiotics. Let me tell you, he is a horror to give medicine to. He hates it so much. The first couple of days he would try to spit it out. By now he has become pretty used to it, but he’s still a pain to administer the drugs to. I also went ahead and got some pain medicine for all 3 kitties. The vet was shocked that the spay / neuter clinic didn’t send me home with any. Overall the bill was around $150. Gray is still having a hard time going to the bathroom but he has shown improvement. Hopefully by next week he will be cleared up fully.

I’ve always told myself that I’d never get a Tumblr. Well, I caved and got one. I think this is going to be another reason for me to put off blogging, but let’s hope I don’t let it become like that! It’s pretty fun to share things on there..a lot better than Twitter if you ask me! But I’m not going to let that keep me from using Twitter either..even though my Twitter account has become my “location feed”. Anyway, if you’d like to become friends with me on Tumblr, my URL is ambrosity.tumblr.com. Go ahead and add me if you will

In less than two weeks (October 4th) I’ll be flying to Indiana for my brother’s wedding. He’s getting married on October 9th so that means I’ll be in Indiana for almost a week. I got my bridesmaid dress a few weeks ago and it’s absolutely stunning! I’m really excited to wear it (and of course for the wedding as well!). After the wedding I’ll be driving back to Texas with my grandparents. I’ve missed my friends and family so much and I can’t wait to see them! I’ll probably end up staying for a couple of weeks, but I’m sure I’ll start missing Andy so bad I’ll want to come back to WA pretty soon after. I guess we will see when I get there! Oh, and lets not forget I will be bringing home my beloved Maximus with me!! HORRAY! I miss him dearly. So there is so much that I have ahead of me..and I’m definitely ready to take on everything!   Filed under Family, Life, Summer

It’s been over 3 months since I last blogged. Much has happened since then, with the biggest being my complete move to the great state of Washington. I now live in the city of Spokane which is a wonderful and beautiful city. I didn’t realize how much I hated living in huge city until I came here. Spokane is like a big city in a small town..with a population of around 205,000 people, yet all of the great entertainment and nightlife a big city would have. Back in Houston you could not go anywhere without sitting in traffic for 2 hours of your busy life, and on top of that there is a whopping 2.3 million people that live there, making it the 4th largest city in the United States. I absolutely love it here. There are parks all over the place. We actually live 2 houses down from one of them and I don’t think I have ever seen so many evergreen trees in one place. It’s amazing! There’s also a major park smack dab in the middle of downtown called Riverfront Park. Andy and I live about 5 minutes from there. It not only is a park, but is also a small amusement park. There’s an IMAX theater as well as other small attractions. All of it is situated right on Spokane Falls. The river looks awesome, especially when the water is high. Over all I absolutely love the area.

One of the drawbacks of me moving so early is the fact that I am basically living out of my two suitcases. My mother has slowly been sending me things. I received my computer, bedsheets and some more clothes just a few days ago. Surprisingly it only cost $13 to ship with FedEx. Since it’s so cheap I’ll definitely be asking her to send me some more stuff!

My brother is getting married on October 12th. The wedding is taking place in Fort Wayne, Indiana which means I have to take a plane for a weekend out there since I’m a bridesmaid. Thankfully I can take advantage of this opportunity and ride back with my grandparents to Texas so I can fly from there with 2 more suitcases filled to the brim with more of my fabulous junk! not only that, but I will have my cat Maximus with me as well I miss him so much!

Since I have my PC back, I definitely will be updating more often. I have the chance to finally update many of the pages on my site that have been broken for months. I can assure you I have a huge to-do list when it comes to my little abode on the net. As for now, I will just take it slowly and get things done little by little.   Filed under Family, Life, Updates, Work
I’ve tried to think of a time in my life when I have taken a minute to just stop, think, and evaluate how my life is at that moment in time, and I honestly can’t find anything. I’ve thought about it plenty of times, but I’ve never actually studied it. I believe it is pretty crucial in everyone’s lives to just take a few seconds to realize exactly how their life has been in the past, how it is now, and what they would like to do to make it that much better in the future. I’m sure there are a lot of people who follow that routine religiously, day by day, and there are others who are like me, who have never experienced it. Sometimes I kind of wish I wasn’t the latter. I usually try to live my life in the present, but for some reason I am always sucked back into the past. I severely let the past take hold of me and completely rip me apart. I let it prevent me from expanding certain parts of my life, and it greatly holds me back. I want to try and change how my life is. I want to be able to look at my past and actually realize that there’s no possible what that I can change it, and go on living my life without it affecting me. Well, for some reason I’m having an extremely difficult time doing so.

To make things worse, Andy is moving away. He is moving to Idaho to live with his sister because he can’t stand living with my family. They are extremely rude and uncaring toward him, and I can’t even fathom where they have any reasoning to do so. He is wonderful and he doesn’t deserve to be treated that way. That’s the only reason why I agreed to letting him go..I know living with me while I’m living with my mother is an unhealthy environment for him to be in. We have talked about moving out numerous times, but have never had the motivation to do so. Well, it has jumped right out at me and slapped me in the face. After he moved away I’m most likely going to try and get a job at Starbucks again, and of course he’s going to try and get a stable job up in Idaho. Once we can afford to move out, he will move back to Texas to live with me. Having him by me every day of my life and then him just up and leaving is going to be a major change for me. I’m going to miss him so much, but I think in a way it will help our relationship grow stronger. We will stay in contact every day either through the phone or internet, I guess whichever is more convenient for the both of us. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see how things go for the next couple of months. At least with him being gone, I’ll have more time to reflect and work on my own life.
