Vissa's Gradiation 2009

So today my sister Clarissa graduated, with honors, from high school. One to go for my parents. Yay! She starts at SUU (Southern Utah University) in August. She's working this summer as a lifeguard at the Payson Public Pool, which is really neat. I am so happy for her. She wants to get her Bachelor's Degree in Theater and then go to NYU (New York University), I think, and get her Master's Degree in Theater. That should be exciting. If she doesn't do that I believe she plans to attend Law School. A long road lies ahead of her, but it'll definitely be full of adventure. Which is so Clarissa anyway. I love her and am proud of all that she has accomplished and will accomplish. Here's to seeing her one day on the big screen.

This video is good stuff!

Okay. I think this commercial is hilarious. Just a random posting. Had to let everyone know.

Baby Samantha Jade

Here's to my sister and brother -in-laws. They just had their first baby, little baby girl Samantha Jade. Yay for Aleece and Scott.

"I'm not an idolater, but I totally worship Mr. Clean."

Just a short blip blog...I've been cleaning the apartment a little bit at a time so that there won't be so much to clean when we move. I went to the store and bought some of those Magic Eraser sponges by Mr. Clean. I had never used them before and was shocked at how well they actually worked. I definitely love the sponges with the Febreeze side, they make everything smell so nice.

So, yeah....I totally love Mr. Clean. Those sponges kick trash!

"You can't get something from nothing"

Alrighty. So...things are going O.K. for me and Pat. Except for the fact that I ended my internship and don't have a job and Pat has a six-week field camp class and can't work. I am currently sick with a cold (This year I have been sick so often it makes me angry!) and have to get my wisdom teeth pulled. So we are both jobless and still have bills to pay. What fun for us. AND I just found out yesterday that my great grandmother died.

However, to put a positive spin on things, Me and Pat got all As and Bs this semester and our landlord is the greatest guy ever. I really hope in the future that we have landlords that are as cool as ours.

This summer we had planned on going down to visit with Pat's fam in Cali for a week, but I'm not so sure we'll be able to afford it. I hate this we-don't have-the-money phase. I wasn't able to attend my cousins wedding, I won't be able to attend my great grandmother's funeral, and we both won't be able to see Pat's family for another 7 months...maybe.

I so badly want to be done with this phase of my life but know that I can't get the things I want in the future if I don't work hard and earn them now. It's all about give and take. As my husband says, "You can't get something from nothing." I loe my husband but I hate philosophizers. ;-)
