Guys are the worst back seat drivers

This is the conclusion that I came to after last night. Last night we had to drive down to Escondido and I was just with my brothers and Dad. Nobody wanted to drive so I offered I really do enjoy driving. (well at least I thought I did) Anyways, I printed up directions but Ryan was like "no I know where we are going don't follow those stupid mapquest directions." so I did as he requested and listened to his directions. Might I add that they were exactly the same as mapquest. That's right. those stupid directions ended up being the same as his. Then they make fun of the way that I park, where i choose to park, how close I am to the lines in the parking space. Then they want me to pull out of a parking lot and go left across traffic on a major road. I said no I'm gonna go right and just do a u-turn. So then they make fun of me for that. So all that to say, I had three back seat drivers and they were all men. And they say that women are bad back seat drivers. I have 3 words for that statement. I THINK NOT!

New adventures

I just got a new job! I will be starting on January 8th. I will now be the purchasing agent for Eagles Peak Charter School. I'm excited, nervous, scared and happy all at the same time! I know that God has opened up this oppurtunity for me and I see it as a blessing. I think it will be a great oppurtunity to grow my office skills , I have learned so much at the job I am currently at seeing as I came in knowing nothing. God has truly blessed me with the job that I have had over the past year with a wonderful christian boss that has been really flexible with giving me time off just with everything that went on with my mom this year and time off to help my sis move. He also has been a great source of encouragment to me. I will miss a lot of things about this job, but am excited about what God has in store for me on this new adventure that He has given me! Please pray for me as I will be learning a lot of new stuff that I would be quick to learn and be a blessing to the people that I will be working for!

I look the most like a man? That's just great...

My mom always makes me laugh!

My mom is a never ending source of enjoyment. She always comes up with the most witty things to say or the most interesting way to put something. Anyways, yesterday we were at the gas station (obviously getting gas) and so I get out pump the gas and then ask her if she would also like a car wash, seeing as we live down a dirt road we could wash Durango the Dinasour at least 4 times a week. So, she says yeah why not. I get all done pumping the gas and we go into the drive through part for the carwash where you enter your code. So we have to wait a few minutes to go through because there was someone already in the wash, so we are sitting there listening to music and just talking away when all of a sudden my mom looks at the front window and goes "oh no my windows getting all wet from the car wash Heather" I just sat there and looked at her for a minute and then procedeed to kinda giggle and then it finally dawned on her that we had not yet gone through the carwash and that it didn't matter if the window got water on it or not. It just made me laugh.. I love my mom.

This is my new camera! (digital by the way. I finally crossed over!)

Well, the time had finally come to go from 35mm to digital. I wasn't sure that the day would ever come. But with the help of a little christmas money, I decided it was time! I'm so excited. So you should be seeing pictures posted a heck of a lot faster than before!

Triple Espresso

Last week a group of us from my Sunday night Bible study Kaleo got all dressed up and went down to downtown San Diego at the gas lamp district. We went to dinner first at the Star of India ( I've decided that I can live without Indian food) and then went to a comedy show called Triple Espresso. We had a blast and we all look forward to doing it again soon hopefully!

What is classified as "sleeper" music?

So I have had this question in my mind for quite a while now "what is sleeper music?" The reason for this question is because whenever we go anywhere in the car I'm usually the one that brings the music and the fact that I'm the only one with the ipod hook-up in the car...:) anyways, Whenever I go to put on music everyone says "no don't put on heather's music, it's sleeper music and it'll put us out." So my question is: What is sleeper music? I think I listen to good music such as.... Lifehouse, Ben Lee, Jars of clay, Gavin DeGraw, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Sheryl Crow, Josh Kelly, Jeniffer Knapp, Nickel Creek etc... I don't like screaming music or hard music or music that you can't understand. I like music that tells a story. Is that such a bad thing? So you tell me, is that music sleeper music? If it is, please tell me what constitues not sleeper music. Your help is much appreciated...And I happen to like all my music too. So there.

I'm home

This past week me and my sister had driven out to Colorado to take her stuff back there and to visit with Ryan. We had a blast driving out there, although it's tough driving a u-haul up major hills it was worth all the time that I got to spend with my sister. We had a lot of fun just talking, hanging out, singing/dancing (scary I know) It took us like 2 days just to get there because we drove through Arizona and New Mexico (yuck, i do not like the desert. Especially when you are in it for like 600 miles...) anyways, once we got there we just drove around and got to be familiar with wear my sis and brother in law are going to be living, went downtown. While we were in downtown we got to visit with some friends the Starr's who had moved down there a while back. Anyways, we had a blast playing with their kids, playing hide n seek, sitting in their "secret room", eating dinner and reading with them! I really think they are the cutest kids I know! We were only in Colorado until Saturday, so we took off early in the mornign and drove home through the rockies. Which is a much more beautiful drive then AZ. and NM. we got to stop in Glenwood Springs and sit in the hot springs for a little while and then take off again. Anyways, it was a great trip and I really enjoyed the time spent with my sister since we wont get too much off that once they move. I will be posting some pictures once I get them developed.
