Finally

I have kept you girls waiting long enough...
I finally have a picture with the new man.
:)



I am feelin' kinda really productive this week.
I have gotten ahead in almost all of my classes
and I am so glad to not be feelin' stressed!

Even more exciting news...
I found a roommate for next year!!
I am going out to dinner with her tonight to talk about where we wanna live!
I will keep you updated.
:)

Madre is outta town for work stuff.
Her and I have a date on Valentine's Day since I gotta pick her up from the airport.
Can't wait to see her!

Hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Peace girls!

So Random

I was sitting in my room and I realized that I needed to update my blog.
But...
I didn't exactly know what to write about this time since nothin' new has really been goin' on.
So I decided that I'm gonna make a list of things that not a whole lot of people know about me.
I know,
kinda weird,
but it's somethin' a little different than normal.
Here it goes!

1. I have to sleep with my closet doors closed or I can't fall asleep.
2. I am 19 years old and I still sleep with my baby blanket (named Blue Blanky) and my bear (named Joey).
3. I have to match at all times.. even my pajamas have to coordinate.
4. If I could have one talent in the whole world, I would want to be able to sing.
5. I miss dancing like crazy and I want to start taking classes again extremely bad.
6. I have a serious addiction to shoes and purses.
7. I totally snort when I laugh.
8. My Mom is my best friend of all time.
9. I absolutely HATE Home Depot and Costco..
the whole warehouse type thing just isn't workin' for me.
10. I straight up jam out in my car when I'm by myslf.
11. Never in my life will I not have blonde hair.
12. High school was probably one of the worst times of my life and I would never go back if given the chance.
13. I'm kinda overly obsessed with ribbon.
:/
14. I am a firm believer that you can do anything you put your mind to. You just have to be willing to put in the hard work.
15. I am way too concerned about what other people think about me.
16. I wouldn't trade my life for anybody else's.
17. My cooking skills go about as far as mac -n- cheese.
18. I despise UGG boots. I think they are hideous.
(Sorry if you own a pair.)
19. My favorite numbers are 14 and 45 and they seem to follow me everywhere.
20. I am probably the most impatient person you will ever meet.
I would not recommend driving with me.
:)

I am coming home this weekend
(thank goodness)
and I've got a few cards to make and a cute boy to see.
:)
Preston has his interview in Colorado tomorrow..
I'm kinda really stinkin' nervous for him.
But I know he is gonna do great!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Peace Girls!

Tales from Tucson

As January comes to an end
(can you believe it?)
I am quickly realizing that I
a: need to find a roommate for next year
b: need to find an apartment for next year
c: need to find a job, like ASAP

I don't think I have been this broke since I was in 7th grade.
Let me tell ya, it's not a good feelin'.

So last weekend I went home to Mesa Town and hung out with the boy Seth.
I had so much fun as always and we even built a step stool for my bed.
Now I don't have to run from across the room and jump onto my 8-foot high bed.
:)
And when I say "built" I literally mean "built".
We made a quick trip to Home Depot and picked up the wood, the legs, the paint, the brushes, and the primer for it.
It was a lot of fun to make something together.
It might already be obvious...
but he kinda did all the work.
I did enjoy eating white chocolate-covered pretzels while watching him put it together though.
:)

Preston has his interview in Colorado next Friday for medical school.
It seems impossible to me how fast we both have grown up!
I still remember my Mom dropping us off at elementary school together!
Where does the time go?!

My classes are going great so far.
I'm trying to stay really far ahead in all my classwork so my weekends will stay open.
It's actually been working out better than I had planned so far!
I just hope I keep this motivation I've got goin' right now!

Nothin' else is really new in my life.
My fish is doing great.
Lauren and I still haven't given the other fish to our friend yet.
I'm gonna miss that little guy when he's gone.
:(

Seth is comin' down tonight after he gets off work.
I absolutely cannot wait!
I have seen him every weekend since school started and
I couldn't be happier!

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!
Go Cardinals!!

Peace Girls!

Dorm Room #275

has a new little addition!

On Saturday, my roommate Lauren and I decided our dorm room was lackin' a little somethin'
So..
we hopped in my car and drove to
Petsmart
Although I was totally distracted by all the cute guinea pigs and mice,
Lauren and I bought a fish.
:)
I have never owned a fish before, so needless to say,
I am so excited and a little too overly
OBSESSED
with this thing!
I've caught myself a few times sitting on my floor just staring at it!
How lame is that?
Lauren and I wanted our fish to have a completely original name and a little Mexican flair.
(Don't ask why.. we were just feelin' that way at the time when we bought him)

With that being said, our fish's name is:

Andres Flores
Ole Ole Ole
Philipe Guacamole
Martinez Gonzalez.

I don't think any other fish will ever have a name quite like the one we picked!
:)
In addition,
we bought a fish for one of our guy friends and it's name is:
Joren
(A mix between Jenaye and Lauren)
haha
Anyways.. here is a picture of our new friend!



And here is Joren:



Since this is a new experience for both Lauren and myself,
we posted a little reminder on our door:



Getting a fish was not the only exciting thing that happened this weekend..
the new boy Seth came to Tucson to visit me!
It works out great cause two of his really good friends live right down the hall from me, so he is able to stay the night in their room and then spend all day with me!
It's kinda like a cute little high school reunion with all of us hanging out!
Seth and I watched the Cardinals game yesterday with everyone from my dorm and then we went out for dinner last night.
This weekend has gotta be on my top five list of favorite weekends everrr.
:)

I'm tryin' really hard to keep this baby updated.
Hopefully I will do way better than I did last semester!
I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Peace!

Sad day..

So I got back to U of A yesterday evening and I'm already kinda wanting to go home.
Like really bad.
It's not that I don't like it here..
It's just that being here only means one thing:
The school work is coming!
(In massive loads)

It seriously took me about 4 hours to unpack all my junk.
I realized that I have way too much stuff here, so I had to do a little re-organizing in addition to unpacking.
I honestly take after my mother, cause I'm resorting to storing some stuff in my car since there is no room in my room!
:)
{Thanks for that Mom!}

Today I just gotta go buy all my stinkin' books and get my binders ready for class.
Other than that, I don't have anything planned.
Let me tell ya, it feels wonderful.
After all, I should be enjoying any free time I get while I still can!

Have a great Tuesday!
Peace girls!

Jenaye is a Slacker..

Ok, so believe it or not..
I am totally aware that I have not updated my blog since mid-November-ish.
I am horrible at keeping up with it!

So..
I'll fill you in on what has been goin' on in my little life of mine.
Here it goes!

I am undoubtedly t-h-r-i-l-l-e-d to be done with finals!
I ended up gettin' 2 A's and 2 B's in my classes!
{Since I thought I was gonna get a few C's, needless to say, I was excited!}
I am kinda dreading next semester.
After being home for a few weeks now,
I don't exactly wanna leave again.
But
I do have a class with my brother that I'm completely looking forward to!

I am working at the best store in the entire world again:
Scrapbooks, Etc.
{P.S. You own my heart}
It definitely feels great to be back..
I'm just kinda strugglin' with learning all the new product!

And what else is new?
Well...
I've got a new cute man in my life
:)
I don't have any pictures of us together yet, but if you know anything about my mother, they will most likely be appearing very soon in the scrapbook store!
The only bad thing is:
He goes to ASU
{GO WILDCATS!!}

My Christmas was wonderful.
The parents got me a new Ipod and some much needed cash!
My Granny girl gave me some money as well after an amazing lunch she spent all day preparing!
And the new boy got me an ASU keychain that I'm not exactly plannin' on using!
:)

That's pretty much all that is new.
I will try my very hardest to keep updating this baby!
Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

Peace girls!

This past weekend

was nothing short of
AMAZING.

On Friday I turned the big 1-9.
(Mom, can you believe it?)

Well...
On Thursday, my roommate Lauren, my future roommate Morgan and our friend Lauren took me out for an early birthday dinner at BJ's.
They sang happy birthday and I even got a free pizzookie.
(If you don't know what a pizzookie is.. it can simply be described as heaven on earth with a little bit of chocolate!)


On Frday, my best friend Keli, her boyfriend Jon, and my friend David came down to Tucson to visit me.
They took me out for an incredible Mexican dinner at El Charro.
After dinner, we hung out with a bunch of our other friends til about 3 in the mornin'.
:)











Saturday was kinda interesting..
My {super cute} friend Seth planned on coming to Tucson to spend the day with me.
Too bad it didn't exactly happen that way..
He was about thirty minutes from U of A when his car broke down!
He had to wait two hours for his Dad to come rescue him and tow his car back home.
So.. I drove back to Mesa instead and we still ended up hanging out!
:)

On Sunday, my other {cute} friend Chris took me to the Jason Mraz concert.
Can I just say that I'm in love with him?!
(Chill out Mom.. I'm talking about Jason Mraz, not Chris)
:)

I didn't get to see the parents that much over the weekend..
which was a little
sad.
At least Thanksgiving is coming up so I will get to spend some time with them!

I've got a ton of work to do this week..
1. Study study study for my big weather test on Friday. (Never thought weather could be so complicated!)
2. Finish/START my essay that's due on Friday.
3. Study for huge test on Tuesday. (I don't exactly think I will be doing any studying over the weekend.. so I gotta get started like.. NOW)
4. Read a psychology book and write the essay that is due the first week of December

Jenaye is feelin' a little stressed at the moment..

Happy Tuesday girls!
Peace!
