10:54 pm	Ode to my Car!!! Yea, I know its been about a month! Yikes!!! But I have a very good reason to write...I am upset! My 95 Red Pontiac Grand Prix decided it would be a good idea to die today! AKA the transmission went out, it was bleeding to death...but no worries I got a new car last weekend! But I took my pontiac up to school, to spend some more time with it and to try to sell it, but I don't think it wanted another driver, I suppose there wouldn't of been a better owner than me?! But this Pontiac was my first car, I got it 2 weeks after my liscense so in...April of 2002....Im pretty sure...so it was rounding 4 years...anywho...we've had some good times together, and no accidents or speeding tickets! Amazing huh? But it is time to let it go and rest in peace, and possibly donate it to some people maybe....I am sad, and upset but it will be ok when I get my new car...a 2000 Buick Lesabre, white! I am pretty excited for that!! I've heard they are a pretty reliable, and well-built car! Well that was my day today, pretty sad! I have to go clean it out tomorrow...good luck to me! In other news, I cant wait for Thanksgiving, we are going to South Dakota, as usual! It will be awesome! And it's almost Christmas season and MUSIC!!!!!!! wooooohooo, I actually like the fact that they haven't started playing the music before Thanksgiving, because we obviously can't forget about this holiday! Oh yea NOVEMBER 15 first snowfall!! And man, it is WHITE outside, it was very windy, icy, and cold today..but eh...its winter...Well have a good night to ya'll...say alittle prayer for my little red car! Love ya'll!

1:21 pm	SOOOO LONG! Hey everyone! Wow did you think I died or something??? I haven't updated in such a long time!!! But I have been reading everyone elses. College had been good soooo far, it is so nice to be in an apartment rather then a dorm. I have 3 great roomies, our own bathroom, kitchen, and living room...yea that rocks! It has been an overload though! With my classes but I am getting alittle break today. Summer was the best ever, taking on two jobs actually went ok, but I did sooooo much this summer my first day off was the second week in August, yikes huh? But it all was soo crazy and fun! I get to come home this weekend this is my second time home since I have been up here. The first time was just because, I definately missed my dog and cat. This time I have a concert. Brandon and I are going to the Sugarland/Sara Evans/Brad Paisley concert, I heard Brad Paisley puts on a kick butt concert! Last weekend was apple festival. Emily, Tiana, and Em's roommate came up and on Sat. we went to Bayfield Wisconsin to Apple Festival, it was a beautiful day, and some pretty good food! I have an awesome job, it is soooo perfect. It is what I have been doing all summer in Forest Lake - School Age Care but it is called Latchkey Kid Connection. I work everyday but thursdays and I absolutely love it, I also work with the best people ever. So that is definately a bonus! Well what is new in all your lives? I don't wanna stay out of touch with anyone! Halloween is just around the corner, I think we are going to try to be the Spice Girls! Never goes out of style, and I think I am Geri (Ginger Spice), can't ya just see it? Well thats all I have for now, I will try to stay in touch and keep up...maybe one of these times I will have a very intellectual journal entry!! Who knows?!

1:51 pm	Recap! Hey Gang! I have not updated in a while so I will just recap recently....Although Spring Break was great, it was a much needed break, and Easter was fun as always! Except for when the old guy hit on me at Brunch! Yikes! He looked like someone from the Mafia! Oh well. Last weekend was my birthday! And it was a perfect weekend, I don't think it could have been any better! Friday, Brandon picked me up and we ventured down to good old Flake and had dinner with Emily, Mike, and my parents at our house! Yum Yum...Then me and brandon went to his house and we had to try to get to bed early cuz we had to wake up at like 410 am on sat. to catch our flight to New York....Yup thats right New York! We finally fell asleep at 1230 alittle later than expected but oh well....We got up at 410, left at 450 got to the park and fly at 505, dropped off at 515, got our tickets, went through security hit up McDonalds and was at our gate at 600. PERFECT! It was absolutely perfect timing. Got on the plane took off at about 704...got to New York 1030 their time and to Manhattan at 12. We went to ground zero and times square and we rode the subway many times. I tell ya, New York is an experience...Its like a totally different life down there but its awesome, if any of you havent experienced it yet, I highly suggest you do sometime in your life! It was a BEAUTIFUL day and we had an awesome time! Too bad we didnt have more time I mean we were only there for the day but it was the best! We had to get back to the airport at about 430 and board at like 520.....so we got back to MSP at like 8 we were sooooooo exhausted and kinda sick but we kept eachother entertained, and we fell asleep at like 1030...who does that on a saturday night, oh yea us because we woke up at like 410 to go to New York. It was an awesome birthday! Sunday me, my mom and dad, and brandon went to Timberlodge and had a very scrumptious lunch! Then back up to Duluth...Well today is Thursday I am done with classes so the weekend is now, and I am done with tests until finals...WOOHOO!!!! This weekend Brandon is coming down and we are celebrating our 2 year which is the 23rd but some conflicts came in. So it should be a pretty special weekend! 2 years, HOLY CRAP! What a journey that I've loved every minute of! So these two weekends have been pretty eventful, New york, and my bday and then celebrating two years! Oh yea and it is GORGEOUS outside here in duluth! yes thats right the weather is sooo nice in DULUTH!!!!! YAY I love spring! Well I hope you all have a great day!

9:29 pm	Ode to the Boys State Hockey Tournaments... Oh Joy, Guess what time of year it is!? Yes, you have guessed it, it is indeed the Boys State Hockey Tournaments. Granted I am out of high school, but I do not care, these are the greatest things ever. My mom still goes and shes alittle out of high school :) Yes, every year we venture down to the games thurs. thru sat. and watch the AA schools because they are the bigger ones and I like them better, but anyways this year I have no friday classes and Brandon starts his spring break tomorrow so guess what?!?!?....He is coming to get me in duluth we will make the last 2 games of the night then we will be there friday and saturday, now this is new for me, I have not made it to the friday and saturday games in four years, why you may ask? UMYs, every single year I have gone, UMYs fell over the hockey tournaments.....many of you might of heard me obsessing over the games, or skipping out of worship to "go to the bathroom" but no I ventured up to my room and turned it on to see the score. Yea, I know how christian like. Oh but get this when I am out of High School and dont go UMYs anymore do they fall on the same weekend? NO! God must have been trying to tell me something?! But this year I will be there, I will be there cheering on these teams. The hockey tournaments have always been special to me but now they have taken on a more significant meaning....2 years ago Brandons senior year, their team made it to the Tournaments....Me, my mom, and emily went to watch him on Wednesday night and i could not watch him anymore because of UMYs but I still followed through with his games. Now this is crazy but...I do not remember who was with me, i know it was me, emily, and morgan for sure maybe Kristina? but we ran up to our room on saturday night when they were going for the championship and flipped on the TV and right on the screen was Brandons face. Right there: Brandon King #20. That is where I knew something good was gonna happen, I can still see the image in my head. It was ironic! So that is the new significance of the tournaments, they are now me and brandons thing. Things have just taken off from there.... So tomorrow, friday, and saturday will be great days!!!!! I love the Boys Hockey Tournaments! If any of you are gonna be there, rock on and give me a call!!! Oh hey Matt Hendrickson will be at UMD tomorrow for orientation he's gonna call me tomorrow around lunchtime, how neat-o. And Kristina will be here in 2 weekends....that rocks! Have an AWESOME weekend! And talk to you all later! Much Love Love n Stuff Becky Current Mood: ecstatic (2 Comments |Comment on this)

5:03 pm	the beauty of nature The Beauty of Nature... After being in Ely this weekend, I realized how beautiful nature really is. On saturday we me and brandon and some others went ice fishing and we walked quite a distance...but we sat in the middle of this lake surrounded by trees and snow...I just sat their for awhile and looked around and was in awe because how can you look at nature and just not think God created this and it is amazing. and since ely is far away from big city lights, when it was dark out you could look at the sky and just see all of the stars, which were breathtaking because you normally don't see all of the stars. It's places like that, that make you happy to be alive and be in the place where you are. I don't really know how to explain it, but nature is beautiful!!! love n stuff becky Current Mood: indescribable (Comment on this)

9:13 pm	Well first week of spring semester is done! I think it is going to be a great semester. Only problem so far is that I am finding just the littlest things to do to procrastinate on my homework! Yikes, but hopefully I will swing back in the mode! The weekend was good! Emily came up for a night and we just sort of chilled! What a TON of snow we all got! It was crazy outside. It was just a nice weekend at the dorms. But since I have NO Friday classes this whole semester...Thursday night I am going home to stay with my Kitty and welcome my parents home from their 2 week vacation in Hawaii on Friday morning, then....I am going to Ely for the weekend, that will be awesome! I can't wait. But Me and Brandon were talking about what to do...man...I guess we are going ice fishing on saturday afternoon. I have never done that before so it will be a new experience! Dude, he's such a great guy! The fresh new episodes of 7th Heaven and Everwood were on tonight. 7th Heaven was great....Lucy had her baby in an elevator...Kevin bought a mansion for them, She named her baby Savannah and it is the cutest little girl baby I have seen...Granted it is TV but still! Sometimes I just want to get married and have a kid, but I know it will happen soon enough right now I need to support MYSELF financially and ya know. But babies are soooo cute!!! I want one!!!! (someday) Me and my friend Erica did this arobics class today and man I am hurting, I can tell I haven't worked out in such a long time. Well this really isn't a very interesting journal entry, I just thought I would update. But I will see some of you on superbowl Sunday for those SUBS!! WOOHOO right? Ok Everyone have a fabulous night!!! and talk to you all later! Love n Stuff Becky Current Mood: relaxed (Comment on this)

11:09 pm	That good ole thing called LoVe What an awesome much needed break, with still about a week left. I experienced a lot of new things over the past 3 weeks. I guess this journal entry is just to vent about this weekend. A lot of you don't know much about my relationship with Brandon....it is a good one indeed. And we spent pretty much every day together except for a few days here and there over break. And this weekend his mom, brother, me and him...well we went up to Ely to move him back into school. Ely = 4hours away from Forest Lake....Ely = 2 hours away from duluth. Some distance. And of course I cried when we left. I CRY OVER EVERYTHING. Thats something I realized over time, I cry at everything, I am sooooooo completely emotional!!! But now this is something new for us. Either ive been home when hes at college or he was home when i went to college, never was it both of us at college. But back to what I started.....Being together so much for the past 3 weeks, and then going to not knowing when to see him next is soooo hard on my heart, and that may sound corny but I hate the feeling of missing someone so much....Just wanting to be near them, with a kiss or a hug, it drives me crazy. I will just stop and think that ok hes not a half an hour away he's 4 hours away, I don't know when i will see him again he won't be coming to my house this week and when are we gonna see eachother again. When this situation occurs for us, I always get my doubts, how can someone stand to be away from someone they care about so much, but having gone through it, I know we somehow make it work. And how can we not, its going to be 2 years in April, thats a hell of a long time to spend with someone, so I can't let a little bit of distance come between us. Because like I said we have done this before. But I just look at the rest of my week, and feel worthless....I dont work at all..I am doing little things here and there but none of them include Brandon which makes me sad. So instead of just sitting here, I am ready to go back to school, it will make the days go by much faster! and I knock off 2 hours of the distance. You know what song is a really good relationship song? " I Could Not Ask For More" by Edwin McCain. I love it, perfectly describes feelings! So yea that is how I am feeling, kinda in the dumps....I just dont like missing someone so bad like this!!! But it will be ok I know it will!!!! Ok peace out peeps...Have a great rest of the break for those of you still on it, and have fun in school for those of you in school right now!!!!

8:39 pm	Oh How Nice!!! Well let me tell you how nice it is to be home, and not having to worry about freakin' school stuff!!! It all started Saturday when my parents came up to Duluth to pick me up, and I had a crap load of stuff to bring home!! Then Me, Morgs, and Em had our Christmas Party and then Me and Morgs went to the YPA Show....Which surprisingly wasn't that bad?! It was just to weird to be sitting in the audience for once!! And then Sunday I went to watch Brandon play some hockey and chilled with him....And then later at nice I ventured to Minneapolis to Morgans dorm, where me and em stayed the night! We went to eat at the Old Spaghetti Factory on monday! OH SOOOO GOOD!! Then me and em went to the high school, how weird was that! It's like you aren't the oldest ones there anymore infact, you kind of don't feel like you belong!! But then I just hung out the rest of the night! Yesterday-drove back to Duluth to take my last final, finished up some stuff there and drove back home! Today I got my hair done! I love having my hair done by salons...it makes my head feel good, and my hair smells good!!! I wish a salon stylist could do it everyday! Well Christmas is soooooo close!!! I can NOT wait!! But it is a tad bit cold out! So Weatherman- can you please lighten up on the cold....my car doesn't like it! And if it is going to be cold atleast have snow!! Thanks!!! Well have a good Christmas everybody!! and everybody home from college! I hopy you enjoy a nice long break!!! See Ya Love n Stuff Becky Current Mood: bouncy (Comment on this)

12:20 am	What if hes an angel sent here from heaven making sure you are doing your very best! I have met 3 amazing girls here. We all click and in fact have become great friends.....tonight I spent alittle time in one of their rooms......and we talked. It started out with the basic girl talk then to homework than it got to God. Kellie, answered a lot of questions about God....it's amazing how well she can answer things! So the questions we had about God led to stories. I don't know if any of you ever just sit in church and listen to who you are praising or in songs listen to the lyrics but i think i almost cry everytime i sing anything because of how AMAZING God is! So our fascination with God grew and it turned into a girl cry fest because we all had these phenomenal stories to tell. I guess those stories that were told to me and that I told only made my faith stronger. Sometimes it is amazing how things work out. And sometimes it is amazing who you meet on your life journey!! Have you ever had those God moments....where it is just a reassurance that an angel is there? Or even he is there? Ahhhh It's great! God works in mysterious ways....Have faith he's always there! God Bless you All!!! Love n Stuff Becky Current Mood: content (1 Comment |Comment on this)

6:16 pm	Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my mama please It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size Dude, I guess I am not very good at updating this thing, but hey it's ok because the first semester of college is wrapping up....so it has been kind of stressful! Not only homework, but roommate problems. I need to vent I think. Well she is a very big drinker, I on the other hand am not. She has come home the past 3 nights at 7 o clock in the morning and not very quietly, people will walk into our room and talk or she'll talk on the phone in the room, while yours truly is trying to get some beauty sleep before I start my day! Then she will eat! Well this morning she ate, she used my bowel and like practically emptied my nalgene bottle, because I don't know why, Because it is soooo hard to go to the drinking fountain like 20 feet away! And she tried to do it quietly, she then proceeded to turn on the tv and than pass out snoring loudly! It sucked because I did not have class until 12, therefore get up at 11 but this is at 7 am and then sleeps ALLLLLLL day til like 4 o clock seriously!. Not cool, I guess you could say I like my sleep, in fact I need it otherwise I am a pile of you know what in the morning for sure! My conclusion about my roommate....yea we get along but...we are 2 totally different people with 2 totally different schedules that do not mesh well...And she is actually very disrespectful towards me and my stuff. Which sucks because I wish she would just ask, thats all you need to do to be respectful and make sure its ok. But she does it all sneaky and just thinks everything is fair game. Well I am making a list for the end of the school year of all the stuff she owes me! Because it was my money I spent to buy the stuff I have. The stuff for me! Ok it felt really good to vent to people that do not know her! I just can't wait to have my own room for a whole month, without her!!! She's cool and nice to a certain extent I suppose. Sorry if this all sounds alil B*t*hy! But oh well!! I hope you all are getting excited for Christmas! I know I am! The girls and I (from up here) are going to the Holidazzle Parade tomorrow night! I am soooo excited, we will be around the city...possible making a stop at the U of M!! So answer your cell phones tomorrow night if you live there! But it is just gonna be soooo beautiful down there! And put me in a really good mood because I just LOVE Christmas! I am so ecstatic about break...I have already made plans for the first week I am home! And might I add I can not wait because I will be hanging out with my 2 best friends in the whole wide world for almost the whole weekend!! Man, I miss you guys! But I will see ya soon! Woohoo GIRL TALK majorly!! Well I think I am off to Christian Gathering in alittle bit so everyone have a great night and stay warm!! God Bless!

6:45 pm	Take an example... So I thought Bill Clinton did a great job running our country along with other people. He did a lot for us as the United States of America...but yet people couldn't look past that because they had a problem with his personal life with Monica Lewinski. Some couldn't put their dignity and pride away for i dont know maybe like 5 minutes and admit he was a pretty good president just because of his actions(unless it conflicted with your political views). But they thought that his personal life was the nations personal life, which is totally wrong. That doesn't influence what he did for a job. So I guess it was none of their business because they should really care about the man running our country and how he will bring us through everything... After all that is what he was entitled to do... What I learned this weekend.....The people I thought I knew the best..turned out to be the people I really don't know. I am praying for my youth group....and the church. Love n Stuff Becky Current Mood: worried (2 Comments |Comment on this)

6:02 pm	Finally! Well, I finally decided to make one of these things...because in my spare time...I read all of my friends. And so when I get bored I am just gonna write, it will be fun! Now whether you want to read mine or not is your choice :). So...What to write about in my first entry...hmm let's start from my weekend. I went to see Children of Eden on Thursday night with my friend Erica....it was good..and boy do i love that play, but might i add not as good as YPA's but i was probably rude to the people because I kept singing the songs..but hey what can ya do when you've been in the play two times over the year and have rehearsed it a bunch of times! Then friday Brandon came up and we spent the weekend together...Roomie was gone...(was that nice or what!) We went to gooseberry falls on saturday and there was snow and ice yet it was sooooo sunny and nice out! It was pretty nice! Then we were gonna go to this really nice resort restaurant but.....it was way to expensive and alittle out of our league and style....so we ended up going to Grandma's awesome choice! Sunday ended in watching the football game and just laying around! After he left...it was movie night with the girls! So let's talk about how people are immature! We have this new Life Sciences Building that is just beautiful it is in the shape of at ship kinda like Titanic and they have been working on this building for hmm i dont know like 3 years and so what do kids decided to do this weekend...vandalize it! Over $1 million in damage! Why would you even do that? It's supposed to open in spring but i dont know i guess they did some pretty big damage to it! I tell ya! It's monday night tonight which means.....7th Heaven and Everwood! Go WB!!!! Well that is my first journal entry! Have a great night everyone!!!
