Kansas has 7 crisp internet pages of our homes very own creatures, who should not be let out of their cell and/or cage..
The strange things people wear is fine with me, it's free entertainment while I take a break from studying Marketing and Communication Theories. Now that I think about it, I am sure there's a theory for these type of people. IF anyone can find one, let me know.
Go to Target.
Today is motivation day, I'm taking a "special vitamin" that is suppose to create a wafer-like figure upon drinking lots of water, and exercising regularly. I've been beyond productive, it's the perfect cure for senioritis, which has been in effect since junior year. When the prof's can actually teach something new, and useful, I'll listen.. ready.. go... no? ok that's what I thought.

A day of #winning:
Today was the first day in a long time that I was dealt decent cards!
I'm happy to say, I was offered a position at the Target Corporation in management, I gladly accepted! It was a great day. I even go to speak with my husband more then usual since he is off doing missions! He even gave me a fb status shout out which made me feel like a million bucks, knowing I made him proud.
He's made me proud non-stop since we met, and it was time for me to show him, I am doing things for us too :) go us!
I also had an excellent day in my newspaper class. We had to put our names in a drawing and I just happen to put #winning on my sheet, and guess what? I won! haha. It was a magical day, and I will never forget April 14th 2011!!!!
After My wedding (which was the greatest day in the history of my life,) my second favorite accomplishment would be to get this amazing job opportunity, lastly, Graduation. I know once I have kids, the order will change, and they'll be bumped to a tie with marrying my dream guy.
Time to start making things happen..
About to patten an idea of mine, it's going to be big. big. big!
Next: Start job, wait for D to come home, MOVE OUT OF KANSAS TOGETHER!
Dreams are coming true! Beautiful life.

Update
It's been a while since I've updated this blog with light followers.
I went to TX this past weekend to see my husband, it was amazing!
I fell in love with him all over again, and TX too. Probably one of the most memorable trips taken in a long time, just because of the emotions involved.
I got my nails done in TX, found a place that still hasn't realized that credit card machines exist, so that was interested trying to pay, with no cash...
Still obsessed with Real Housewives of Orange County. I'm not blonde, nor do I wish to be. But They're entertainment, and it's a nice break to watch T-Vo after a long day of class. Peggy, the newest housewife was getting her boobs done (for the 100th time) and was crying bc she was scared she wasn't going to wake up.. Well.. it's a voluntary surgery, soooo shut up!
What else.. hm...
D is coming home the last weekend of April, so I'm planning a mini-gathering for him with his family. He requesting bowling, and what my man wants, he gets. So I hope everyone follows through with that!
Being married is nice! And having him trust me to be the "head of the house," makes me feel pretty darn special! I never thought at 22 that i'd have everything in life under control. No I haven't gone through any "tough" experiences when it comes to relationships, but i think that's what gives me the clear head to make the decisions I am as a wife! it's...AWESOME! so everyone can back off now... thanks!
Graduation is less then a month away. I'm pumped. more to come.

Pet peeves
1. Hail.
It breaks windows.
Scares my pets. I'm pretty sure The Godfather jumped out of his fish bowl.
and it dents cars.
2. Tube tops are trash. I saw enough of them last night that I think all the classless people forgot the other half of their shirt.. Can you not afford a full top? It's not sexy, and if you're trying to attract a guy.. you won't, because no one wants a girl that has to pull up her shirt every 2 seconds.. and if you get a guy, most likely he wants to just do the dirty. Casual hook-ups..Just as classy as your tube top.. NOT... goodness gracious, buy a normal shirt.
3. Knees
They're such an unattractive part of the body. If they were removable, Id do it. Ick.
4. Chalk.
5. Drama
6. Newspaper class
7. Tube tops
8. Creepers
9. Bad intramural volleyball refs
10. TUBE TOPS!!

Katomate
I don't know if this is true, or not. But a little birdie told me that May 8, 2011 is Mother's Day.
That happens to be my COLLEGE GRADUATION date.
So, that's probably the best gift for her ever, right?
You're welcome, Mom!

On another note...
I officially have received two A's on my speechs in Public Speaking at KCKCC.
So take that, Ham.
As of tomorrow, I will be seeing my husband in 30 days.
30 DAYS!!!
Do you know what that means?
Yup.
Thirdly:
1. Royals Home Opener TODAY! No, I'm not going :(
2. Brick House volleyball game tonight (8:30 and 10:30)
3. I'm not thrilled I have to turn in my newspaper article tonight
4. The Johnson Family dog (Chester) sleeps more then he is awake.
Leading cause of obesity from the Basset Hound Journal of Howls?
Laziness.
5. I'm going to (secretly) buy D a new wedding band, because I think he deserves a fancier one,
with a little bling, for special occasions.
6. Twitter won't allow me to change the background. #losing
Do the humpdy....

Duuhh-air-ick
HE GETS TO FLY TODAY!!!!
D has been working so hard to complete every task the Army has given him to accomplish so he can work on becoming a pilot, and he has!
GO D!!!!
So proud of you!
____________________________________________
This week has been pretty hectic, and it's only Monday. I can't believe I have 2 tests, and a speech to present. Some professors need to work together in making weeks less stressful. I am a senior for goodness sakes, I've been in school since I was 6, enough is enough. And now that most of us are 22+, we have lives, jobs, career potentials, families, etc, GIVE US A BREAK! I'm going to get grey hair before I even set food on the stage to get my diploma.
Time to watch Sex and The City, and study.. ahh, what an incredible Monday afternoon.

Belly:
Button.
Kass and I went to lunch today. And I had this impulsive idea to get my belly button pierced. Of course I wanted to surprise my husband with a semi-alluring treat that was still classy. Done and Done.
So we went to Kings off of 107th at Metcalf. Right next to Hooters, so if any gentlemen get a tattoo, they can hobble on over to get some good......bo..wings.
The piercing hurt a little, not as bad as I had thought.. I recall telling Kassie, "I feel like I just got poked really hard, in the belly button.." Her response.. "you did." lol. #duh.
Now I am writing my speech for public speaking that is due wednesday. Why did I not get this taken care of earlier in my college career? darn you sophomore year and major change!
Back to writing, update later..
Kass, you're the best. that is all.

Fact 4: I think our dog Chester is constipated.
Fact 5: I don't think that tube tops on women is an attractive trend.

The little things..
I've noticed that seems to be the status of a lot of individuals right now. The little things in life make them happy. Where did that simplicity go in life? There are so many people who pride themselves with how much they have, how much work they have done to approve their appearance and so forth. Yes, I am guilty of it too, until just recently, I thought the more the better, but why? It's not about money, that's a luxury not a necessity, it's not about fake tans, hair extensions, acrylic nails, or the best make-up. Life is so much easier, simplified.
Look at your family, they are real. They don't care if your hair is black, blonde, purple or brown, or if your fake tan is orange or gold, or if your nails are long enough they can be used as a ruler. They just love you. They are simple.
Life is as simple as you make it. The more you must have, the more you are complicating things for yourself. Learn to narrow down your goals, your needs and wants. Make a list. Cut things that aren't necessary, keep things that are. If there is a person in your life making things difficult, cut.
That sounded terrible. And very Al Pacino-esque.
Simplicity=sophistication.
On that note, I need to go get my nails painted, and my hair cut.
Ironic.

Motivation:
My blog motivation is slim to none. I think it is partially because my better half is out being a hero, and I am still home, trying to finish these classes at a less then merited college, with financial issues, and a rotisserie chicken stand. But who pays attention to the flaws anyway? Oh wait, EVERYONE.
Today in marketing, the lecture was over inventions, I felt it was appropriate because I have a few ideas that I would like to get in the process of creating in the near future. I promised D before he proposed, that I was going to invent something and propose to him, and even though he already has a ring, i would like to get him a new amazing band that he can wear when he comes home, and have his current band for when he is overseas; sort of the rough and tumble band, and the elegant, going out band.
Still waiting on the Target Corporation to get back with me about my interview, I am so excited that this could potentially be a future for me.
The real world is calling most seniors names, especially the MNU students who have been conditioned to want to remain in college as long as possible and prevent the real world from happening. In the real world, there are parties, bars, clubs, alcohol, etc, and no, being a lush is not the most attractive thing to be known as, but eventually the freshman-seniors who have been brainwashed to feel that being "out" is wrong, will realize that there is life outside of the rose colored glasses that are handed to you on the first day of orientation. Unless you work at NPC, or some mission/not for profit organization, your co-workers will go out, socialize at bars and talk about hangovers, and i apologize to those in advance who have no idea what will happen to them once their diploma is in hand.
On the "Real World," subject, has anyone seen the new MTV episodes... Trash...scum...reason for the world ending... that's all.
Ta-Ta.

Lets dedicate.
He's just that guy that I will always love, and need. I can't help it if I am being a mushy lady right now, most of you reading this have your significant other in the same city, state, or room as you. And if you don't have a "partner," then there is someone you love that isn't too far. And if they are, well then I understand exactly what you're going through. It's funny, before you meet the one, there's an obvious empty place in your heart that needs to be filled, then you meet the person, and you are fulfilled, and when they go off to war, or where ever, it's a different empty feeling. It's not really empty, it's that a piece of you, has been moved to another state. I doubt this is a good example, but I literally feel like my heart is traveling to where ever he is. I have my whole body, but he has my heart, it won't be the same until he has returned home safely to me.
Derek R. Johnson:
I will always be your number one fan. I will never leave your side, no matter how far away you seemingly are. I will support you, and go where ever you need me to be. This is an unconditional love, that will never change, unless it's growing. Please stay safe, rely on the saints around your neck, and remember, home is when I am with you.
Forever, Me&You.
Yup, I had to be the mushy, annoying wife.
Don't worry, I'll post a less-mush read later. But until then...

1.2.3.
1. I am looking for out-of-state-jobs.
2. Give credit, where credit is due.
3. Love unconditionally, from day one. Don't make the one you care about earn respect and love back from you. Cherish the ones that love you from day one with out you having to become something before you're respected. Don't let someone take you fore granted, because you'll spend the rest of your life trying to make someone care for you, who didn't care for you in the first place.
Love is rare.

This just in...
"I'm using a piece of plastic designed by trolls covered in lights and buttons."
Compliments of Mr. Sheen himself.
I can't help but find pleasure in his destructive behavior. Terrible, maybe. But this man has literally built an empire, and then watched it crumble in his drug invested brain. He is genius, and I have no desire to be anything like him.
Successful, maybe, but stoned out of his mind. I mean, that isn't even a creative way to go man, drugged up, drunk, and crazy. We've seen this before Sheen, between Loose Lohan, and Spiraling Spears, we've already had our dose of crazy, and as temporarily entertaining as you are, I'm not impressed by your idiotic tactics at reinventing yourself. Should have stuck with Two and a Half Men, that was you, without so much of YOU!
But with that being said, I'm going to keep watching your ustream, until you've fired yourself, because quite frankly, you quote well when you're messed up. PS: your live stream right now, STINKS! Watching the organic "Tiger Blood," on the screen is ridiculous, I'd rather watch you drool over yourself on the phone calling things trolls, then anything else. So get back to the good stuff.

Job time..
Tomorrow will be my first, "entering adult world," interview.
I am beyond excited, I have never wanted a job so bad. Just the thought of transitioning out of this adolescent stage of college, that has taught me that what you learn in college applies little to the career field. BUT, the career field applies largely to the job. If that doesn't make sense, then you have just grasped everything I have learned at MNU thus far. But I do have a couple months left, so an update of intelligence may surprise you near May.
On another, less job related note, Derek is about to deploy. I think we have about 2 more weeks, then he's shipped out to serve his shift at as "The Big Sexy," aka Chinook. I'm proud of him, yes.
There are so many emotions surround his deployment: sad, happy, angry, proud, etc. The sooner he goes, the quicker he'll return and the longer he'll stay before deployed again. I can't wait for our life to start once he returns. There is so many new things to look forward to. He's my guy. What I love so much about being married, other than the D himself, is that he knows my goals, and my career hopes and supports me 100%. And while others are looking, stressing and dreaming about their "one," not focusing on what's good for them, I get to have my cake and eat it too. But everyone gets that at some point, playing your cards right is important. Derek taught me that, he's a poker king.
ps. We used our crock pot (compliments of Brice S.) Brisket, potatoes, carrots, onion = delicious !!!
Well that's all for now.

Is this really a trend...?
I can't help but wonder, now that I've begun this blog of wedding bliss, is this social media network all it's cracked up to be?
I guess I just haven't figured out how to really use, create, and find others to blog with, other than a great friend, Melissa Crew, who you can follow (Crew Cuts) it's an excellent read! So welcome to the blog world Mel!
This upcoming weekend has a lot going on, KU/MU game Saturday afternoon (ROCK CHALK). Then my husband and I, along with his family will be attending a moto cross adventure at sprint. All there is to say about that is... I hope it has techno, and happy birthday Becca L. You're too tall to be so young.
My husband discovered a wonderful new trend of the "sports jacket," I think he was meant for that type of clothing, and dark jeans... HOT. Ha, I know, I said it, but seriously, I think I watched my man, become a trendy man... (Please don't change because I am boasting on your newly discovered side of fashion.)
You look classy baby..
The last thing I would like to discuss would be the lack of career placement MNU offers. I have never heard of a college that provides you with the classes for a degree, then refuses to help you find a job. And I am NOT saying that I need help locating a place of employment, there are plenty of opportunities, but in the broadcast section of the worlds career choices, the local jobs are slim to none. All I am saying is... come on, help me out! Send me in the right direction, at least. But no, the career development center is no longer there, darn budget cuts. I mean, WE NEED A CAREER CENTER, we are there to obtain a degree, and get a career, not get fat off of campus center food and their 2010 addition of rotisserie chicken, DR. ED! I mean seriously, we cut professors, classes, majors, and career center, but not your precious plethora of food. Priorities doc? I guess that's what they mean the way to a mans heart if through his stomach, ew.
Well, off to the "couples" dinner at Houlihans :)

Mary Burdge Inspired...Wife approved
I'd like to start off on this new blog adventure by thanking Mary Burdge for introducing me to this incredible site. Not that you went and said, "try this out," but I saw it on fb and decided to try it, since writing is a passion, might as well give it a go! Right?
On to the next: I also decided to find a blog because it's that time of year, 2011, the year I graduate college from MNU. Time to start networking, connecting and looking for a career to get life started. Toyota has been an incredible learning experience, I've spent 3 years there, no raise, but since my time there is coming to its end, it's a little late for such a request. Plus, a blog seems appropriate considering facebook, twitter and myspace are not what employers are looking for in a desired skill ability. A questionnaire about a job actually asked if I had a blog, knew how to blog, etc. I couldn't say yes, because I didn't have a blog. And I may not fill this up with interesting facts, stats, or anything of value, but maybe a few people will read! We'll see :)
So on to the next chapter of my blogging life, my amazing husband. We decided to, "take the plunge," this January, 2011. So far everything has been wedded bliss, nothing out of the usual, learning about each other, our strengths, weaknesses, etc. The one thing I've learned, if anything, is that we are stronger together, than apart. I guess when they say, you know when you know is a truth, not a myth. Which I always believed growing up. I never thought there was one right person for you, or that I would even find "love," but I guess when you're not looking.....you know, life happens.
D and I met a little over a year ago, thanks to his mother working at the same job location as myself. The whole, " you need to meet my son, " and I said, "ok" kind of shrugging it off, I mean who really meets someones son? But I did. Hesitated getting to know him because of his flight school being in AL. But when it came down to it, I was crazy about him, not even knowing it. I spent most of August in AL, part of Sept, and he came up to visit in Oct. Proposed in Sept, married in Jan. And as the story goes, the rest is history. Life happens in such a funny way sometimes. I can't necessarily grasp the fast pace of my life, but I always wanted to live life to the fullest, no regrets, jumping into things with both feet, and I haven't been disappointed in life yet, so I'm going to keep going with it!
We have a son... Chester.. who is a basset hound. Our pride and joy, lol. Turned a year on our wedding day. The most loving, and lazy little man you can ever come across. I know, his name is Chester. I've attempted to change it several times, to Javier, or Ches, but D didn't allow it. So Chester it is. He's the type of creature that cries when one of us leaves the house, until the other returns. Precious species, hoping on the next puppy purchase it'll be a massive beast of a dog, like a great dane, or german shep. One can only hope.
But that'll come later in life, because my husband is about to deploy to Afg. His 4th tour, and I couldn't be more proud. I guess I've never dealt with anyone leaving me for any length of time, especially one that I've become inseparable from. But if he's strong for our country, I can be strong for him. That's all I'm going to say, because it's way too difficult to discuss right now. But I understand a lot of other women are going through this too. Army Wives. Strongest women I know.
And on that note, I'm going to sign off.
Until next time.
On to the next: I also decided to find a blog because it's that time of year, 2011, the year I graduate college from MNU. Time to start networking, connecting and looking for a career to get life started. Toyota has been an incredible learning experience, I've spent 3 years there, no raise, but since my time there is coming to its end, it's a little late for such a request. Plus, a blog seems appropriate considering facebook, twitter and myspace are not what employers are looking for in a desired skill ability. A questionnaire about a job actually asked if I had a blog, knew how to blog, etc. I couldn't say yes, because I didn't have a blog. And I may not fill this up with interesting facts, stats, or anything of value, but maybe a few people will read! We'll see :)
