Okay so this week I finally did something in social media that I swore I would never, ever do. I joined Twitter. And I can't lie, I kind of love it. It's really fun to see what people come up with on there. It's not the stalkerish thing that I thought it was. So too morals out of this. 1 - Don't knock it till you try it. 2 - Never say never. So much from a social media site.
Christmas Music - Yes I am THAT person, who starts in October. Usually I start in September, but for my boyfriends sanity I refrained, and I have even only listened to it alone, or with headphones, because I'm that nice. But the point is, it makes me really happy to listen to Christmas music! I love Christmas, it is my favorite holiday. This does not mean Thanksgiving will be pushed aside. I am very excited about this as well, but something about listening to Alvin and the Chipmunks on my way to work puts me a really snazzy mood!
I got to talk to my dad for a good long while yesterday and that made me extremely happy! I am a daddy's girl, my whole family knows it. Lately with our conflicting schedules and the time difference my dad and I haven't been able to connect, but I got to talk to him for over an hour yesterday, about pretty much nothing, important. We also discussed me FINALLY going home for a trip after a year and half in February! This is happening, I couldn't be more excited. I love my family and not seeing them after this long, is just craziness. With my new job, I should be able to go home once or twice a year at least now!

Slasher movies, and reorganizing, late Hang Outs
Yesterday I spent most of my day slowly reorganizing my closet. Which included getting ride of some things that I was never going to where again. It felt good, I felt like I was doing something very adulty. I no longer own any jean mini skirts, I mean I'm 24, really it was time for them to go. I did however keep a few things for costuming purposes. Who knows maybe I will need them.
I watched Scream pretty much all day while doing this and enjoyed it. Scream is part of my Halloween experience, I love those mediocre slasher movies, I don't care what anyone says!
My house is becoming a hang out spot for some of my friends, and I LOVE it. I love having people over. I am kind of a homebody and an extrovert at the same time, it's a convoluted mixture, but it is what it is. Last night my friend and our writing partner Ben came over to hang out mainly for venting purposes, we have found a good friend base and it has really become a blessing for us!

Endings, New Beginnings, and Nevada
Last Friday was my last day at the Chinese Restaurant I now used to work at. After the work day a few of us went to a little Mexican restaurant down the street for drinks. Which by the way. If you're in Beverly Hills and want to go to Frida's. Save yourself the trouble and don't, you will be better for it. That part was some what fun. However we took the fun back to my place, which ended up being a blast.
Now I will digress a little. I had been feeling extremely mixed emotions about leaving this place. Not because it was a good job or anything, but because I had built some relationships out of it that I did want to lose, and in the past moving away from something has always meant losing close relationships, which is part of life as I have grown to learn and accept. I don't love it, but I accept it. I spent so much time with these people that they were my LA family, and now I was leaving them behind.
Back to Friday Night. This night actually showed me that this was the true beginning of so many of these new relationships. Outside of work, we were able to discover so much more about each other, sides that you would not see otherwise. Since that night efforts have been made for us all to see each other again. Because now, we don't just have to see each other, we want to. I have been dying to have a connection with people like this in LA for a very long time, and I think it has finally happened, and it is making me a happier person for it.
The Cupcake place is the best thing I could ever have asked for. I actually look forward to going to work every time. Everyone there is so open and it's easy to make friends, I've actually already started in some cases and it's great. It has been a wonderful restart to my life. Including helping the drive for acting. Pretty much everyone I work with is an actor, which is amazing, you gain inspiration by being around people with the same interests and drive as yourself. God really knew where I needed to be and found the perfect place for me! Plus I get to see this whenever I leave work!
Nevada - Everything about this place I love. It's my third home. The first two being Pennsylvania, and Los Angeles. Every time I come here, even though I've only known my family for a few years, it's like they have always been there. Sitting in my grandparents kitchen always gives me that warm fuzzy feeling, that you can only get by being with your grandparents. I don't know how to explain it. I love that I get to have that in my life.
I have no clue when I will get to go home, so it makes me so happy that I get to come here as often as I can. Another piece of God's plan for me I believe. I need family around me, but if I have it constantly I will not let myself strive for the things I want in my life. Not because my family tries to prevent me from doing that, but because when I'm close to my family members I want to be around them as much as I can, spending all of my free time with them, because I love them that much. I firmly believe that is why, for the time being I am meant to be in L.A. but get have some family so close in Sparks. They close enough for quick trips, but then they are far enough for me to learn how to keep my self focused, and believe me I still have a long, long way to go on that.
My aunt is easily my best friend. Everyone who knows me, knows this. I look up to her in so many ways. This woman is a pillar of strength, resilience, and most importantly, faith. She has not had an easy few years, and this past year has been especially difficult, but through it all, she has still held on to the one thing that she knows will get her through, and that is God's promise that things will get better in time. She kind of reminds of Job right now.
Through everything that has happened in the past few years, she is still able to put on a smile, and find ways to laugh. Whether it be with hanging out with friends, or her goofy animals, she knows that life is still happening and she doesn't try to hide from it. I love spending time with her, every time I get to come here is blessing, and we always end up with some new little side jokes out of it.
And if visting those three weren't enough incentive for visiting Nevada, here are a few pics of that would be.
And these just show the adorableness of it all.
Miss Buffy. She has had rough year but has been a trooper, and is looking pretty good these days.
Bentley and Belle. The sappiest, and cutest Bassets on this earth.

Mini Vacay's, New Job, Best TV Show Ever
Okay so it's been about a month since I've written, it's been a little nutso and plus I really wasn't in a positive place, so essentially I had a writers block.
When I started this blog I originally wanted to something everyday for thirty days specifically. Now what I am going to start is something out of my boyfriend's, sister's blog (she gave permission I promise). 3 Things. Each day to write about three things that affected my day positively. And sometimes I'll miss a day hear and there, sure but it's something to help focus on the positivity in my life. So to start it off, I will do three things from the past month.
1 - Visiting the Alfeo's - Towards the end of the month the boyfriend and I went to visit his sister and her husband, which was an all around awesome visit that included seeing Casablanca on the big screen, and laser tag. Pretty much an epic weekend.
On Saturday we joined them to do The Walk to End Alzheimers, and it rained through the whole thing, but it was worth it. I love being with family, evening when getting soaked. Then Sunday we played mini golf, which I am NOT good at. At all. But it was a lot of fun, and they had some random medievally music playing which made everything that much better.
The best part about this trip for me though, was getting to just kick back and talk to Barbara. This woman is honestly one of my favorite people in the entire world and I don't think I let her know it enough. She is a giant ray of sunshine with the perfect amount of goofball and sass. There is a whole lot I could go on about here, but in essence, Barbara is the perfect big sister..
2 - New Job - This says it all! I am leaving my current restaurant to work at a cupcake place, and I couldn't be happier about that decision. Due to social media contracts and I cannot list where I am working, but it's cupcakes. Generally, customers are so much nicer and easier to deal with, and it's a full time job that pays decently, and when needed I could actually request days off here and there to do auditions! This part makes me even happier. The people I work with so far are incredibly nice, and they are fun! We have spirit days Wednesday was Wacky sock Wednesday, I wore some pretty cool Jack Skelington socks. All in all, I know I made the right choice.
3 - Once Upon A Time - I found my dream T.V. show. One that I love to watch, and that I am also determined to be on someday! It. Will. Happen. I am soooooo happy that I finally starting watching this show. And if you aren't watching it, you're wrong. Stop what you're doing and go watch it now, it's that good! I now have a newfound love for acting because of this show, and a new favorite actress. Lana Parrilla, is one of the most talented women, I have ever seen in my life...ever. She plays the Evil Queen, my favorite character, I always like the bad guy for some reason, Grease is proof. Anyway there will be a blog about the Evil Queen and Once Upon A Time as a whole, because this show changed my entire outlook on life.
Okay that was a little snippet of this past month, three things that really inspired me. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
