Wausau, Wisconsin

well, my time off from work before I went home for turkey day was well spent. Chris, my friend from high school, had an interview at this company called Greenheck in Wausau, WI. ROAD TRIP!!

First -- here's how we got there... (follow the blue line)



Since Chris was wrapped up with interviews all this morning, I had the luxury of hooking up with my darn good buddy Jake, since Wausau is his home town. I got the best tour this girl could ask for; I saw the ski hill, watched a snowboarding vid at Jake's house, and got to see this awesome skate/snowboard shop.

On the way out of town, Chris informed me of something he had learned from one of the interviewers... WAUSAU IS FULL OF MAD MEN! Apparently, this foreign dude... well, read about it here. Yeah, that's what happened where I was today... CRAZY

good ole days...

yup, these were it -- the best of times, and the worst of times. I came across these photos because I am still wishing that I was at home with all of these fond, cherishable memories so close..



garsh I loved the christmas parties... these were the days when money was of little to no concern, the hardest thing about high school was trying to find a date for homecoming that no one knew... *sigh*



now this is definitely an all time favorite of mine... i think this is the picture that I will forever freeze the memories of my classmates in... it's like our whole family in the yellow mud-machine.. i mean submarine... oh yes. all the memories are comin back now...

3 more days til home...

curse the wretched puter!

i just hate it when i type happy things and then they disappear... so i was enlightening everyone with casey's costume for halloween.



yeeeeeeeeep, that's right. he is a pretty pretty princess... don't laugh :)

what i really meant to say... is i'm sorry for the way, i am....

so, it's finally thanksgiving break.. but here i am in houghton and i'll be here til tuesday.... i'm ready to go home. I miss my friends and my family... houghton is a far long ways away.

big projects are gettin to be due in, let's see now, ALL of my classes. that's just super.

ya know... all through high school I thought going to a small school was just about the curse of the universe... but i came up to college now, and i realize how much people really don't stay in contact with their friends from high school... and i'm the complete opposite of that. there is rarely a day when I don't talk to someone from big bad b-town. and, as i never thought i would admit this, i'm proud i was a laker... even if we do set parts of the town on fire occasionally..

keep it all in good fun.

here kitty, kitty, kitty....

and here we have pretty Kahlua, on a better note-- i got pictures to work... errr Adam did.

would i be really lame if i said this is my favorite photoshop filter? it's called cutout... no, kahlua really doesn't look quite like that!

hehe

i need to see some 28 degree action...

so we had the ski party kick off... my costume wasn't as successful as hoped... but the point is -- there isn't any snow :(

Brule opened today, I kinda wish I had gone -- but it's only one run open, so no big deal i guess. Miles traveled didn't equal fun to be had this time.

MY CAR GOT FIXED!! so the door handle broke about two weeks ago and Adam the adventurer fixed it today :) i was pumped.

no more updates.
cha-ching.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!

and a cha cha cha.

Today, is just a good day. I'm not sure why, because I have to work a ton -- but it really is. Turkey break is in two weeks, I'm pumped. I get to spend it with my two favorite boys... and the rest of my family.

I have butt loads (for real, butt loads) of homework to do. And I think I am turning over a new leaf for the last 3.5 weeks of the semester, I am going to be more studious... cuz I think my brain is ODed on school since I've been going for a year STRAIGHT.. yeah, the big not cool. But it's alright. And I loooooove houghton and it's gonna snow!

long time no written words...

well well well, here we are. another day. another month. almost a different time period. I am in the 10th week of classes. way ready for it to be all over... but when wasn't i? I don't think I was ready for classes to start.......... o well.

other than that, life is really busy... i've got my job at perkins - and the pool. come winter i could have two more, whoa... and classes, now that's what i call busy :) hopefully it will be over soon. luckily i am takin time out this weekend to go visit alice in sault ste marie -- i'm pumped. i haven't seen her in forever...

stuck on meegan's birthday present -- if anyone has any ideas, hit me up...
