March Updates

Spring break is over and everyone survived. Not that any of us did anything life threatening. Besides drive home or to work everyday. woooooh. 


Since we are oh-so-very exciting, I thought it was high time for some updates. 


Most importantly - David Darling has moved out :( BUT....he is also now, officially, ENGAGED!!! Congratulations to the soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. Moore! Kellsie has a beautiful ring to prove it! They have moved onto bigger and better things in Denver. David got a grown-up job at Toys-R-Us! Pray that they have a stress-free engagement and an extremely happy life together!


Ryan has a cutie patootie girlfriend Lindsay - who i absolutely adore. She is the total package and i couldn't be happier for the two of them. Just look how cute they were on V-day. 

Other than that, Ryan is applying for grown-up jobs at Sprint and AT&T in sales, so pray that he gets that! However, if he does, he too will be leaving the Duplex :( 


Lucas is applying for Grad School here at UNC in Sports Admin. I'm sure he'll have no problem getting in, and once he does, he'll just breeze on through. He coached JV girls basketball and assisted with the Varsity squad over at Frontier this year. He had a great time (minus all the drama and unnecessary tears of course....pft...girls) but i think he'll probably want to move into boys sports in the future. 


Jordan went home for spring break so I havent seen him all week. I guess he had a good time. Who knows. I do know that he enjoys observing in his assigned school here in Greeley. I think he is excited to  be in the classroom and not doing mindless busy work. He has also been playing basketball quite a lot. Trying to "get back in shape" .... like he was ever out of shape. whatevs. 


Clintopher has adopted a major change this semester. From Business (Accounting?) to Criminal Justice, he is quite enjoying it from what I understand. He is still hard at work being a butcher at Sam's Club and in his free time he likes arguing and making fun of the neighborhood children. I just made some delicious homemade chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes and i'm sure in a couple days they will all be gone and Clint will have diabetes. :) 


Stu is bigger. He poops a lot and is too scared to go down the stairs. He only goes up them. Poor guy. 


I am great! I am officially a certified Barista at Starbucks and am loving it. My co-workers are amazing and so kind and patient with me. Im sure we're going to get along swimmingly. It looks like i'll be able to graduate in December and I am super excited about that. Right now it looks like i'm planning on working for Starbucks all year, then applying for FOCUS next year. Lookout world! I'm discerning fundraising my own salary and spreading the Gospel to the future leaders of the world! Holler!! 


We are in need of a roommate...it could be YOU! :) Warning: Thorough application process. 

Valentines Day

This year was probably the first year I wasn't dreading Valentines Day in the slightest. I had my valentines cards made, chocolates bought for my bible study, homemade cards finished, I was ready to give give give. And it was wonderful.

The night before, I stopped by the liquor store and picked up a case of Bud Light Platinum and went home to wait for everyone to go to sleep. When all the little boys went nigh-night I snuck out and set up the four six packs with their cards on top of them, took a picture and went to bed. Oh ps-since the boys in question are old, this fist happen until about 1:30 or 2:00.

(the top is last years valentines, the bottom is this years)

Happy valentines day!!


At around 9:15, I get a knock at my door, I tell them they can enter and in walks Clint and Stu. Clint comes right over to my bed, leans over to give me a hug and says, "THANK YOU!!!". I say, "you're welcome", give Stu a little pat on the head and send them on their way. I'm tired.

At noon (haha) I get another knock. Let them come in again and it's Ryan, Clint and Lucas. Ryan and Clint tell me about their journey out that morning to get flowers and things for their little ladies, I immediately cut them off predicting they spent way more money than normal going to a local florist. They say that would've happened but they decided to go elsewhere. I approved their decision. After that, they were done stalling-or staring at me in bed and started pleading with me to go into the kitchen.
"there is something waiting for you on the table...!" they taunt.
"come on! Get out of bed!" they nag
"okay okay" I comply
I had to kick them out of my room, assuring them I would follow just so I could put on a bra in private. They were so excited for what they had done.

And they should've been. They were so good to me, it still warms my little heart.
Waiting there on the table, just for me, was a bouquet of flowers, a pot of tulips, a bag of jelly beans, a HUGE chocolate bar and a little card. What they wrote was so nice I wanted to cry, but since they don't know what to do when I cry, I didn't.






I go on with my day as originally planned, when I got back to the house that afternoon there was a rose on the table with a heart shaped box of chocolates from Jordan! Oh me oh my!! How amazing are these men??!

Later that evening fed ex man brought flowers from my parents!

Basically, I was spoiled rotten and I am so thankful for people's thoughtfulness and gratitude for being my friend. I am so very humbled and blessed.
End.
