I haven't posted a blog in a while... so here's whats been going on.
I read Eclipse (the book from my previous blog) in one sitting.  (yes, it was THAT good.)  I really do recommend reading the twilight series.  The only bad thing is that I have to wait another full year or so to wait for the 4th one to come out...


Also, my brother got married a few months ago (july 7th...i think) and they just found out a week or so ago that they're having a baby! (:  I couldn't be happier.  My brother is a little young (24) but he's responsible and I love his wife.  She's one of the sweetest things ever.  So congrats to Tyler and Katelyn!


other news... Me and my sisters are kinda busted.  They're grounded...but they can't really ground me since i don't live at home.  We were having a R.A.C.H night (stands for riley, alexa, carly, and haley night... a little name we made up years ago for our traditional "slumber parties.")  and carly decided that she wanted to sneak out to meet her friends at the movies.  Of course, I told her that I would cover for her.  Alexa and Haley didn't understand so they wanted to tell our parents but I told them not to.  But after about an hour after carly left (driving my DAD'S car) I got a phone call from her telling me that she was stuck on the side of the road and the car wouldn't start.  I didn't know what to do because my dad's car is almost as complicated as it is old.  So...i told them.  We had to pick her up (12 am) and get the car towed in the morning.  So, that's pretty much the last time she'll ever sneak out.


And last but definitely not least...I'm officially MARRIED!  Evan and I "tied the knot" on August 11th... and are still living in the apartment.  We hope to move into a house by the end of the year.  We've been saving our money and Evan just inherited some money from his grandfather.  So everything is all good (:i love married life...but i hate the cleaning and laundry.and it will only get worse when he have kids...but please, im only 20.  I don't even want to think about that. lol
thats all for now....
later.

well, i dont expect everyone to know. But i DO expect all vampire-obsessed, Edward/Bella-loving fans to know.

That's right. It's the date of release for the third book in the "Twilight" series, ECLIPSE by Stephenie Meyer!

Now, I've read many many books in my life. I'm a huge bookworm. But this series really got my attention and is one of the best series I have ever read. I hate vampires. I hate anything that has to do with sci-fi for that matter... but I love this. Even if it is about vampires, its certainly not your typical cape-wearing, fang-bearing, sleeping-in-a-coffin, vampire. Its a realistic story, with not-so-realistic characters.

So read it. Twilight comes first. Then New Moon.

And now... its Eclipse. The one i've been waiting for ever since that day i finished New Moon (which just happened to be the day i STARTED it too)

August 7th.

Don't understand my obsession?
Well, I dont understand peoples' obsessions with Harry Potter and Star Wars...

I guess some things arebest unanswered.

just got home from florida... which was great. i got to spend time with friends that i haven't seen in a while and also... Aiden's family.

God i miss him so much. I can't believe its already been over five months ago that he died.
and i think about him everyday.

I spent the whole day yesterday with his family and we all just went on a walk and talked about him and all of the good memories that we had with him. And surprisingly, I didn't cry...
Until after I heard one of his little sisters (who's 7) start to talk. She said that even when he was growing up, he was still the annoying big brother that he had always been and that he would tease her all the time and get on her nerves so much... and she misses that. She said sometimes she can still hear some of the crazy things he says and she can't help but laugh. She told me that he also talked about me a lot and how it was so great to be my best friend.

That was the most heart-breaking but touching thing that I have ever heard from a seven-year-old.

Aiden boy, we all miss you so much. Your mom let me sleep in your room last night because its the only place that I feel really close to you. She also gave me one of your t-shirts from your closet.... im wearing it right now. Well, i love you so much kiddo. You are my best friend in the entire world.

Sorry, I know its a depressing entry. But it's just something I felt like i needed to write out.

I hope that everyone isstaying safe this summer

okay, well, i just got back from new york (visiting my aunt) and let me tell you that it was not the best vacation ever...

sure, its new york, so theres always something to do..but no matter how hard i try, i cant get away from things back home. i had at least one sibling calling me everyday to complain about something, or fill me in on more family drama. it never stops...

but anyways, now that that's over.. im going to florida to visit some friends who live down there for a week. it makes me feel old... these are two of my friends from high school, and now they're married and expecting a baby. time really does fly, i guess.

so i leave tomorrow... be back next sunday.

until then, i hope everyone is having a great summer!

In a previous blog post, I said that I would be watching my three little sisters and little brother for two weeks while my parents were in Hawaii. Well, they left yesterday... and might I just say, I wish that I my older brothers were here to take over.

Why is it so bad, you ask? Oh... I can give you a few reasons...

My 17 year old sister decided play the whole "hey im a teenager, I'm gonna sneak out of the house" routine. She went to the movies with her boyfriend. (Idk why she didn't just ask... I can bend the rules a little.) Anyways, she waited until I was in the shower to sneak out, AND take my brother's car. (not good. Not good at all.) So, here, I'm flipping out because she won't answer her phone and there's no sign of her. Then, there's the whole angry parents thing that I might have to deal with. Finally, she came home and "explained" everything. I decided NOT to tell my parents... but I DID tell my two older brothers... and believe me, that's A LOT worse than the parents.

Next reason....

My little brother (who's 8.) is anything but human. He likes to eat things, flush things, even FREEZE things. (yes, he put my mom's camera in the freezer.) So I spent hours trying to Noah-proof the house, which is near to impossible... but I thought I did a pretty good job. Later, I found that my cell phone, TV remote, wallet, and Ipod have gone missing. I had to brib him with candy... but he told me that he buried it in the backyard. I wanted to scream. But i didnt cuz my sisters were asleep. Ugh...man, i had a fun time digging those up. (and im still picking dirt out of the number keys of my phone.)

And of course....

My sister Alexa is pretty wild. So I KNEW that something was going to go wrong with her. Well, apparently, her and her twin, Haley, got into a huge argument. (they share a room...not a good idea.) So, she threw ALL (and i mean, ALL) of her clothes out of the two-story window... and most of them landed in the neighbor's pool. So, instead of putting my through it, I made me got next door and make her apologize and fish them out. Now, the neighbors give me weird looks when i walk by.

Haley has been the good one. Thank god.

As you can see, I have my hands full. AND i still have a week and five days to go.... kill me now.
