Josh News, Concert, Lunch with Tai, Pictures

Hey blog readers welcome back!




First of all I wanted to give you guys some awesome Josh news. Drum roll please….
Thanksgiving Weekend 006

Josh got his finished Chapter Packet today and was told that he’d be home next week! I am beyond ecstatic to have my Best friend back home. Especially since life’s been getting too busy for every night phone calls.
We haven’t seen each other in around a month and a half and it’ll be great to see him in his favorite atmosphere- Oregon.

*As you've no doubt noticed I redid the blog. Please be aware that this will happen a lot. I get bored with backgrounds easily so don't be alarmed if you check in and the page has no background. Don't worry I'm just tinkering with it again.*

Now on with the updating!

This past Tuesday (April 5th) was the Century High School Choir Festival Choir Concert. I was lucky enough to get an hour’s notice before the concert started so I hurried up and got ready, and convinced Helina to go with me. I have to say it was odd going to a concert and not being on stage. I had some serious déjà vu. But it was amazing to see all of my friends and the awesome Matt Sell sat next to me and kept me entertained.
I won’t say much about the concert because to those that weren’t there it won’t mean anything to you except that I am so proud of the people who care a lot about choir and I’m really proud of how far you’ve come and how strong you are. I also want to wish them luck on their upcoming competition.
Today I was supposed to have breakfast with a friend of mine, but my “boss” called and asked if I could work so I was working in Portland from 7am-3pm.  After my shift I had the awesome privilege of having lunch with Mr. Tai Le, who is my Portland lunch buddy now.
We went to the Lotus Express for Chinese food (where he made me hold out my fortune for forever so he could take a picture) and gossiped while we went shopping. 
First we headed to Claire’s because we had time to kill and I wanted to find some cheap jewelry for work that was “trendy” as is my dress code and I came across this little beauty. It was supposed to be $5.50 but I when I checked out it was just over a dollar. I will admit that it made me pretty happy and I nearly went back for more.

So cute!
Then we went to Fuego (which has amazing jewelry), Nordstrom Rack and Ross for some clothes for Tai. While he was trying them on I went ahead and browsed the home section and I found some surprisingly cute things (and some dorky ones) so I took a few quick snapshots.

Then we went back to mom’s office and saw her. She and I dropped Tai off close to the school and then we went home.

That was my boring, but awesome day. I know what a weird blog post, but I wanted to put one up tonight.
Random thought: Now even though this has nothing to do with anything I just wrote I wanted to talk about this new cleanser I just bought (I know this is random). It’s the Bioré blemish fighting ice cleanser. You rub this into your face, rinse it off, and then BAM! Your face gets cold. It’s actually really cool. It was $8 at Albertsons and I actually really like it so far. I’m quite impressed.

And here’s an awesome picture of my gummy bears a few days ago :)

I’m bomb
Okay, this nerdy chick needs to go to bed for her 4:45 am wake up call.
Goodnight, sleep peacefully, and dream happy dreams,
Kristen
P.S. I work my first day at DSW tomorrow so hope I don’t drop a box of shoes on my foot!
