My Sign in all of its glory! ;)

Myself and my Super cute mom waiting...

Elder Harris and Me! He's finally home! :)

Oh ya know... Just Cleaning The House!

2010-09-24T12:02:00.001-07:00

My roommate Emily and I are... easily distracted. (: A few nights ago we went to Wal-Mart for some zip ties and came home with beautiful masks!

We got a little carried away in the Halloween section (: So to justify the best 5 dollars we ever spent we have been wearing them around the house... The first night we had them we watched prince of Persia in our living room... wearing our masks. Then next afternoon after we were both off work and we cleaned the house... wearing the masks. Ill tell you cleaning the kitchen was much more enjoyable while wearing our masks! Then we sat on the couch and tried to have a serious talk but we both kept busting out laughing because its just so hard to take each other seriously in these masks. We both agree and I'm sure you will to... BEST 5 BUCK EVER SPENT!!

So Long Sweet Summa!

To say goodbye to summer Jake and I had one last campfire :] We roasted hot dogs and made smores! (for those of you who know me well you know I'm not a huge hot dog fan but something about sitting by the fire and eating a juicy delicious hot dog... MMM! Maybe its all the fire roasted goodness!

Since we are a couple of goobers this picture is retarded! :]

(okay... mostly I'm retarded)

Not gonna lie I'm looking forward to fall! watching the leaves change and for it to cool down a bit but mostly I'm excited for the clothes! The cute jeans, flats and old man sweaters! mmmyes! :]

On another note...

I made a sign for my brother Matt's missionary homecoming.

Who says cheerleading is nothing you will use after high school?! Check out this KILLER sign I made with my mad painting skills I got from 4 years of making signs for EVERY school event! :]

Okay... so not the best picture but trust me the sign is AWESOME! :] haha!

Jake & Jade

2010-08-14T12:36:00.000-07:00

As Jake and I get closer to our 1 year I have been thinking a lot about how we became J&j. I don't love this story and wanted to share it with you guys! We were both working at the Costco. I had a friends of a guy who worked at Costco who said to me one day "Rob said his friend Jake that you work with thinks your hot." All i could think was "Who is Jake?" So for about 2 weeks when I was walking into work i would look at name tags but could never find Rob or Jake. Who are these mystery guys? haha! So one night I went with my friends to this Rob's house. When he opened the door I was like OH ROB... It all came together but I still wasn't sure who Jake was. Rob and I became really good friends. I would go over everyday after work and we would have mad adventures. Finally I figured out Jake was the produce boy. I went over to produce everyday to buy stuff for my dept and I never knew that cute boys name because he never wore his name tag because while he was stocking it would get caught in boxes. From there on out I would talk to Jake in the mornings and I started to tell him about about my troubles with Willy and we just talked about life. :)

I remember one conversation right before I was supposed to leave to Germany and I was struggling. I was trying to make things work with Willy and it just didn't feel right. Jake just looked at me and said why don't you leave him then you don't deserve that your a nice girl. I was touched that this friend from work thought i deserved better. It was easier to tell a stranger my problems then someone who knew Willy and I as a couple. When I came back from Germany (it was a Sunday and Jake and I were both closing) It was slow so we had lots of time to talk. He asked how Germany was and all I could say was UGH! Willy and I fought the whole time. I told Jake about this huge fight Willy and I had on this bridge and Jake just said you know your not trapped you can leave any time you want. From then on that thought started to cross my mind more and more. I knew in my heart Willy and I shouldn't be together so why was I staying?

A few more weeks passed and i would go talk to Jake in the mornings. I started to like him but things were a mess with willy and I . Then one Thursday night I get this text from Rob and he says Jake and I are going to party and we want you to come. ( i had to be to work by 6:30 the next morning so I said no. So Rob gave Jake my number and Jake tried to talk me into going with them. I still said no. Jake said fine. We are all doing something next Friday and you have to come.

The next Saturday Rob had a party at his house. I asked Willy if he wanted to come and he said No. Then later he was like wait who is going to be over at Robs house? I told him and as soon as I said Jake's name Willy was like "I'm coming" So we went at like 9:30 and were hanging out having a good time. Jake showed up and Rob, Jake and I went up to Robs room and talked for about an hour. They were mad because Willy had said some not nice things to me in front of everyone and both Rob and Jake were like you don't need that. Around midnight Willy said he was ready to go home. So Rob and I drove him home and I got out of the car gave him hug and was like okay ill see you later and he was mad because I was going back to the party. So I went back and had a good time just hanging out and talking to everyone :]

The next day was a Sunday and Jake and I both closed at work. He asked how Willy took it that I stayed at the party after he went home. I told him not well and how all Sunday morning Willy had text me and was really mad. I told Jake I had made up my mind and I was going to end things with Willy. It didn't feel right and neither of us were happy anymore. Jake didn't believe that I would really do it! Little did he know...

The next morning Jake and I both opened. I told Jake that I broke up with Willy. He asked if i was okay. I was I felt relief. 3 days later Jake and I went on our first date. We went swimming and had a good time. 2 Dates and one week later we had our first kiss. Funny enough it was in the Costco parking lot after a date. At the time I lived with my parents and he lives in P.G. When we would go on dates it would be easier for me to meet him in Lehi because I felt bad making him drive to Saratoga back into town for a date then back to Saratoga then back to P.G.

For about a month he was what we called "the half ass boyfriend" we had talked and decided that we weren't dating anyone but each other but we didn't have "the title" then it was Sunday November 22 (happy birthday mom) and we both got off work at 10 then went to breakfast. When he was dropping me back off at my car we had the DTR. (determine the relationship) and decided that he was the boyfriend. I was SO shocked he brought up the talk because he was putting off the I don't want a girlfriend vibe. It was pretty confusing we were only dating each other but weren't together. We have talked about it since then and have decided that the whole "half ass boyfriend" time we were together so we count Oct. 22 as our official date! :]

What I found out after we started dating is that he liked me forever and everyone would tease him and tell him to ask me out. If he ever was caught looking in my direction someone would yell "shes got a boyfriend!" and Jake would laugh and say "give me time!" Even my department would call him my work boyfriend and I would roll my eyes and say "No way! He's not my type! I don't like cocky boys! " I was totally oblivious that he liked me.

He makes me so happy! :] He is always making me laugh and is the nicest guy I've ever met. He never is disrespectful or makes me feel bad. We have so many fun adventures and I sure am a lucky girl! Not saying that we haven't had our arguments and our ups and downs but we always make it through and are happy as ever. He is my best friend and I can tell him everything. Hes everything i want and more!

Holy Freaking Update Batman!

2010-08-03T08:51:00.000-07:00

First off let me start by saying that my laptop is RIDICULOUS! It doesn't work for 6 months, I pay some guy to fix it he fixes it IO get it to my house it doesn't work. :( He comes out to my house tries to fix it and cant figure out what the problem is! Then about a week ago I moved and suddenly it works?! I don't get it either... But you wont hear me complain! :]

Updates...

I MOVED!!!

(again) There were 3 of us in a house in Orem and... Long story short. Emily & I are awesome and Brittani didn't feel the same. (SHE WAS NUTS) So Emily and I moved into an apartment still in Orem called Village Park Apartments. We LOVE our new place! It has central air! For those of you who don't know our last place had NO ac. It was miserable! We would wake up and it would be on average 90 degrees and it never got below 84. It has a pool and Em and I got lucky enough to get on the top floor! No one is above us but moving was a beast! Moving our couch all our beds and dressers up 3 flights of stairs add on our 4 car loads each... Our legs were pretty sore!

This is us moving at midnight!

(yes we were that excited to get away from Brit)

Emily!

Funny how things work out... Emily is a year older then I am. We both went to Lehi High and we never once talked in school. We both work at Costco and didn't really know each other before we moved in with Brittani. Now shes my best friend and we are probably the funniest girls in the world. :] Glad to have found such a good friend!

Shades! :]

Mustaches?!

Jake baby!

We have been together for almost 10 months and are just enjoying life! We have had alot of fun this Summer! We tubed the Provo river (a few times) Sooo cold but so fun! we have been hiking and swimming. Just staying up all night and sleeping all day! I love having him there. We have so much fun together and he always keeps me laughing!

Us at Cascade Springs

Till next time... which will be sooner because my computer works! :] :]

Lets Talk Updates for Twenty Ten...

2010-02-19T16:44:00.000-08:00

-STILL haven't moved... For some reason there is a crazy hold up but... We are signing contracts on Monday! :] Cant wait to be roomies with Brit and Em! For now I'm still at the parentals but cant complain to much because I don't pay rent! Muahahaha!

This is the state my room has been in for a week! We were supposed to move last Wednesday... oops false alarm!

If you don't know, we are moving into an older house in Orem. Brittanis parents are going to be our landlords. This house was Brits grandmas but she got to old to be living on her own. This house needed ALOT of work! This is a picture from the beginning of Jan. We went over to go help clean and we were taking down these AWFUL drapes and we found a spider! So we did the only logical thing... Em held the curtain, Brit vacuumed the little beast and I took a picture! Pretty sure I got the good part of the deal!

- Probably my moms LEAST favorite... I have got another piercing. My nose. I wanted it for a while but never seriously considered getting it done. Then Friday January22 I was like hmm maybe I will pierce my nose, and I did. Random I know. Everyone asks, No it didn't hurt. It just made my eyes water! My ears and belly button hurt WAY more!

BAD pic but the point is you can see my nose ring! (:

-I have now been dating my Jake for about 4 months! :] I am really happy at how our relationship is working out. Both of our previous relationships were really routine, same thing every day and neither of us wanted that again. We don't see each other EVERY day, most days but not every day! :] I like that when I say tonight I'm going out with the girls he says mmk I'm gonna do blah blah. He just makes me really happy!

-Hazzle && I have been up to no good! Its a don't ask don't tell situation....

-I Turned 20! It was a really fun birthday! I took the day off work. Went shopping and had a hot date with my Jake that night! He took me up to the gateway and said okay babe where do you wanna go? you can pick what ever you want for your birthday! [: That boy knows the way to my heart! I do love to shop! Then we went to dinner, then went and snuggled and watched a movie!

Ready for my hot date, waiting to go and of course I was on facebook while I was waiting!

Part of my present from Jake! If your thinking holy crap that purse is huge...

That's because it is!

Jake & I doing what we do best... Being RAtards! ;)

... So far so good! :]

Funny How Things Work Out...

2009-11-30T21:46:00.000-08:00

As most of you already know Willy and I broke up a little over a month ago. This has made me think alot about my life and where I have been, where i'm going and where I want to end up. Lets start with where I have been. The past 2 1/2 years with Willy were so fun! He helped me grow up and discover who I was! All I wanted in life was to marry Willy and have baby Germaricans. I was SO sure that this is what I wanted. I was positive that him and I could make it work and last forever. Then the past month of our relationship I realized that I would be settling. Yes I could have married Willy and this would have been... ok. I would have been settling though. I just wasnt happy anymore and even though he wouldnt admit it I dont think he was either. So I decided to call it off. Things with us ended REALLY bitter and awful. The hardest part was losing my best friend. but in the long run i think it was the right thing!

He Showed me so much about life and another culture. We road tripped, went to Europe, I can now understand German, he taught me how powerful love and trust really are. :] But now as I close this chapter of my life I look back and im grateful for knowing him and getting to share part of our lives together. Im gonna take what I learned from our relationship and use it to make my next one better! He will always have a place in my heart and I wish him the best in life and maybe one day he can forgive me!

Where I am at: Right now I am honestly so happy! Im still working at Costco, im planning to move out with some of my friends at the beginning of the year. I am back to having The Mad Adventures of Jade and Face! Im hanging out with friends and going to clubs and enjoying being my age! Im in a new relationship and im taking what I learned and using it in this relationship! I dont have to see him every night of the week. He has boys night every Friday and we have lives outside of each other. He is so fun to be with with and keeps me laughing all the time! He is really sweet and caring. I dunno where me and the new guy will end up but im enjoying trying to find out! I still dont know what I want to be when I grow up but im only 19 and I have time to decide! Im going to take a class and get my CNA and maybe take a class so I can be a phlebotomist and go from there. I may love it and I may hate it... I have learned that im young and getting married is the last thing on my mind! I want to be young and enjoy life before I settle down!

Its just funny how life turns out. If you would have told me Oct. 1st that I would be here I would have called BS. I didnt see any of this coming, never thought Willy and I would break up never thought I would date the hot kid from work, never thought I would get to do all of the things im doing now! I guess this is just part of the adventure we call life! <3

500 Days of Summer... In November

2009-11-29T14:16:00.000-08:00

Last night Face and I went on a mad adventure! We drove to Kaysville about an hour drive and about $15.00 in gas to see a $3.00 movie! We were afraid my car was going to be shot and roll down the hill, and in the movie we were accosted by a homeless man that asked us for a ride home and chatted with us through the whole move! Besides all of that I must say this was the best movie I have seen in a long time! I absolutely loved it! :] You have to be warned this is the opposite of what you might think. Its not a romantic comedy type of movie. Face has seen it 3 or 4 times in theaters. Its not what you would expect but its a great show and makes you think about love! Just in case you decide to go to Kaysville to see this movie just know there are lots of seats on Tuesday... The girl working the register when we bought our ticket felt she needed to share that tid bit of info so I'm being a doll and passing it on! :]

I have a million more pictures, these were a jist of what you didn't see in my earlier posts! :) I left the island out of this post because they are all the same but different! We had a great time and came wait to go back!

J'ai Taime Paris

2009-09-23T16:13:00.000-07:00

Even though I'm back home I still wanna blog about Paris! It was absolutely wonderful! I would like to start about by saying I found my inner french girl! those of you who don't know what that means I would suggest a trip to France to find out! We left Willy's house at 3:30 in the morning to drive to the airport and catch our 6am flight! At the Paris Orly airport we had to catch a bus into town... 13,80 Euros later we had a bus! Where we had to catch the metro! probably one of the scariest places ever! Since Willy and I were so early into Paris we couldn't check into our hotel for a while! (good thing we only brought backpacks) So we hopped off the metro and headed to Notre Dam... Saw NO hunchback, that was quite upsetting to me! It was beautiful inside but honestly after visiting the Magdeburger Dom this cathedral seemed slightly weenie! Next we walked clear down to the Lourve where we saw the Mona Lisa! I felt like i was in Da Vinci Code or something! The glass pyramid was really cool but smaller then i expected! by then we were tired and... slightly grumpy from the lack of food! So we stopped at McDonald's... I know I know Mcdonalds in Paris pretty lame but this was the most modern and crazy nice mcdonalds i have ever been in. After a quick lunch we walked to our hotel and crashed for about 2 hours for a much needed nap! Then we headed to the Eiffel Tower! It was SOOO much bigger then I imagined! It was BEAUTIFUL! This was the highlight of my trip to Paris! Willy and I decided to save some money and take the stairs to the 2nd level then take the elevator the rest of the way... 1665 stairs later and 3,330 stairs round trip my legs feel like jelly! Here is Willy and I at the very top!

Let me just tell you that those french love fashion and food! OOOOHHHHH the bakeries! YUM! I had the most amazing adventure in Germany and Paris and I'm counting down the days til i can go back! I don't know why we even left! I love it there and it was an amazing trip!

More Pictures will be posted about the rest of my trip I didnt blog about! stay tuned! :)

The Island!

2009-09-02T06:28:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the Island! this past weekend we got to go and rough it German style! We took Papa Kühne's sail boat to this island and camped for the weekend! It was beautiful and FREEZING! There were alot of other people on the island but you were far enough apart that unless you wanted to you didnt have to see them! Willys friend Denny (aka harry Potter) was there so he came and camped with us for a while! It was a great time with lots of spiders and im glad im back on land!
Here is Jonas and Willy while we are heading to the island!

Me and Annemarie!

Me, Harry Potter, and Max! After a Freezing Swim in the lake!

We had a great time and im glad i got the chance to go!

Biking In Germany!

2009-08-28T04:41:00.000-07:00

Okay so I have to admit it has been about... 10 maybe 11 years since i have been on a bike. So last night Willys aunt said that I could borrow her bike while we are here so Willy and I can go in to town easier! So we picked it up rode our bikes home and everything was fine! This morning we went to ride into town and from that10 min. ride from yesterday made my butt is really sore! So this morning we are riding into town and i passed about 3 people smoking while riding there bikes...WTF! (what the fire) Who the crap does that? Im huffing and Puffing along add smoking while I ride and I would probably keel over! Mind you these are not slim or fit people. These are old people with guts!

Here is Willy and I Riding our bikes. yes I did take that picture and no I didnt crash!

Here is what we have been up to!

Döner!

Out With Friends! Annemarie and I

Willy, Jonas, max

Der Magdeburger Dom!

Its Beautiful and its over 800 years old! All stone and the detail is amazing! I love this place!

Willkommen in Magdeburg!

2009-08-27T07:19:00.000-07:00

After a 24 hour trip for SLC to FRA we have finally arrived in Willys hometown! We have been having alot of fun and have been very busy! Here are some of our highlights!

-Didnt sleep on the flight, I had 2 hours sleep in 37 hours!

-About 12:30 or 1 am every morning here Willy and I are on the hunt for food! Its dinner time back home and even though we ate already we are hungry!

- Driving from Frankfut to Magdeburg (about 3 hours) we passed a truck that had Füherer Gardens on the side! Who knew Hitler was a gardener?!?

- Ate my first real German meal! Provided by Opa Manfred and Oma Doris!

-Visited Der Magdeburger Dom! It was the first gothic cathedral to be built on German soil! it stands 120 meters long and 101 meters tall! This is by far my favorite place!

-Ate my first Döner... I have mixed feelings its good but not AMAZING like Willy and Max promised it would be!

- Everywhere we go and have to order something Willy makes me order myself! So I have orderd in German a few times!

- I know you are all dying to know... There is no Diet Dr. Pepper here! Life Almost came to a halt when... i discovered Coca-cola lite. Its alot better then Diet coke in America!

- This is the second time i have wrote this blog... Willys home computer is old, slow, and like to do tis own thing...
I would add some pictures to show you all this cool stuff, but I have just discoverd... This computer does not like to upload! :) I will try to put some up later but.. no promises that it will work!

The Diet Doctor!

2009-08-22T21:58:00.000-07:00

Its the very eve of my trip to Germany... My German and I are packing our suitcases... We decide we need drinks, so we hop in the car to go to the gas station... I get of course i diet Dr. Pepper with a shot of regular Dr. pepper, he gets an iced tea (like always)... Life is GOOD! ... Driving back from the gas station my German turns to me and says the most devastating thing... "I don't think we have Diet Dr. Pepper in Germany." I don't know how to take this information. My Diet doctor is my drug! I need it daily! Sometimes more than once! So for the next 3 weeks I'm going cold turkey, maybe i can try to replace where the diet Dr. once was but... there are NO substitutes!

Just MY Luck!

2009-08-05T11:40:00.000-07:00

Its 17 days and counting until I leave for Germany and Paris! yay! I think it was last Thursday... there Willy and I were with our friends Bree and Brian hiking up this mountain to this waterfall in PG. we were all taking pictures and having a good time! (no harm was done to my camera) haven't dropped it, it didn't get wet, NOTHING!) well the next day I go to take a picture and... This!

This is what I see! It makes a funny buzzing sound before it turns on and AHH! So now I have 17 days and counting to buy a new camera for what is going to be the best trip ever! But really my camera couldn't have broken like next month or something? It just had to be now because that's just my luck! :]

Traditional Burning of the Sticks!

2009-06-09T13:25:00.000-07:00

My Grandpa Bronson has an apple orchard with 600 and some odd trees... So every year after the trees are pruned, the sticks are brought into his pasture and we have the biggest bonfire ever! Is alot of fun to see how big the fire gets and then run like crazy because you can feel the heat! We have almost burned down the neighbors barn and my grandpas barn and everything else that is in a 50 ft. radius! needless to say nothing crazy happened this time but we did let the 8-12 year old boys start the fire! GOOD TIMES! After we sit and watch the fire burn we go and have a family BBQ! Because you know us Bronson women like to eat, and it wouldn't be a family event if there was nothing to eat! :] This year was Willy's first year to see the fire. It was fun to show him what us small down people do for excitement! i cant wait til the next stick burning!

We don't look that close to the fire and the fire doesn't look that big but it was already starting to get hot on our backs!

Curb Crazy? I Think YES!

2009-06-03T12:26:00.001-07:00

Last weekend I got the chance to play in a softball tournament! Willy's "American brothers" own a curbing business (Curb Crazy) and they sponsored us to play! Our First game was Thursday night and... WE KILLED THEM! It was 10-6! Needless to say our luck ran out! Friday it was a 5-7, and Saturday was the worst! It was a 5-10 loss. That's not the best part. 4 of our runs we got walked to home! It was pretty funny! We are awesome softball players!

Willy & I. (team hero's!) lol! jk! Willy didn't even know the rules! Germans don't follow baseball so much! It was funny the first day we had to tell Willy to run, when he was out, where exactly was right field... but he still had a fun time playing!

Our nicknames and numbers! :]

Holiday with the Germans!

2009-01-19T15:20:00.001-08:00

I know it has been a while and chirstmas is now over but i wanted to share some pictures from when i went to Florida with my boyfriend Willy and his family. His family flew in from Germany not without delay of course. they were delayed one day and mine and Willy's flights were not much better! Never again will i buy an airline ticket from Cheaptickets.com! Willy and i ended up with half a plane ticket. and had to be picked up from an airport 2 hours away! The trip was well worth it though! Florida was Beautiful!

My first day we took a sail boat ride on the biggest sail boat i have ever seen. We took off from a harbor in Naples and there were the most amazing houses! That was my favorite part to see how other people live! These houses were massive! We also saw many dolphins jumping and swimming around our boat. then we sailed out into the Gulf of Mexico! It was very relaxing! we did alot of shopping and going to the beach! His little sister was a ball of energy. The joke of the trip was that Lottie (his sister) didnt fall asleep she passed out. Most of the time after dinner we would find her on the floor, couch. or bed face down dead asleep! Sometimes she would wear me out to!

The house that his family rented was very nice! It had a pool in the back yard and was all fenced in so that the crocidiles couldnt eat us! :] It was nice to eat outside every night and relax by the pool!

Here is Papa and Mama Kuehne and Charlotte Sophie!

Willy and I in Miami Beach!

Trippin' Road Style!

2008-12-15T14:48:00.000-08:00

California here we come, right back where we started from CALIFORNIA! HERE WE COME! As we left thursday night that is what me and Willy were singing at the top of our lungs!

Willy went had to go to California to try out for the Ventura county Fusion! (its a semi pro soccer team) So i thought i would tag along for the ride! Ventura was beautiful! we arrived friday night around 4:30 but... we made a few shopping trips first! :] we stopped to get gas about 50 miles out of Vegas in a tiny place called Primm Valley. There were 2 casinos a roller coaster and my favorite... A fashion mall! The best part was... It was all OUTLET stores! yay! I fell in love there! They has a Juicy Counture outlet and it took Willy a good long time to get me out of there! i could have spent all day in there! Plus they had the purse i have been eyeing there, and who am i to pass up a good deal?! i mean this purse was practically begging me to take it home so... I did!

Then we continued happily on our way... When we reached Ventura the view was amazing! We hurry and checked in to the hotel and walked down to the beach! we took a walk on the boardwalk and ran down in the sand til i was dark! we went to In and Out Burger. (it was Willys first time in cali and everyone needs to eat there at least once!)

The next day Willy went to tryouts and YAY! He had made the first cuts so he got to go back on sunday! Saturday afternoon we went down to the beach again to play and take pictures...

It was REALLY windy but still a lot of fun!

Later that night we Discovered this cute little main street with a lot of cool little shops and decided to check it out! (here is the part where i was in heaven) They had the cutest stores! I couldnt help but buying a few things! The Street was lined with palm trees and had lights hanging through the streets!

This was the Cutest little town and we had the best time! the trip was short but it was so much fun!

** We dont know if Willy made the team yet, they said they would call around christmas to let us know! We are so excited and hoping for the best! :]

check it out!

i found a cool video on youtube for twilight its on my video bar and its the 2nd
video down!

Twilight!

2008-11-30T10:03:00.001-08:00

Last Sunday i went to see twilight with my German, my best friend Bree and her boyfriend Brian. i was expecting alot and at first when i saw it i must admit that i was kinda disappointed but after i had time to think about it I decided that I LOVED IT! Even though my friends didn't feel the same way especially my German who said it was probably the dumbest movie ever! i still loved that movie! at first i did not like boy they chose to play Edward but i must admit as the movie went on he became more handsome! I cant wait til it comes out on video and you better believe i will be there opening night with all the 40 year old ladies (no offense mom) in their twilight shirts to see the next one!

I'm also going to try and read all the books again because they are sooo good! :)

It Heppened AGAIN!

2008-11-06T15:27:00.000-08:00

you all remember the post about Steve Daddy... well my friends it happened AGAIN!! it had been a long long long morning to work and i got to school and was in a rush to get to my class because i had to work so late! Walking towards me is a guy in a white hoodie and hat, he has the little soul patch just like the real Steve Daddy! i get excited to see my uncle so i make a B-line for him give him a playful punch in the arm when i realize this guy is not my uncle! i have never been given such a funny look in my life! So just like last time i said "sorry i thought you were my uncle" then he gave me an even stranger look and walked off! i have come to a few conclusions
1. I need my eyes checked.
2. There are a lot of guys walking around who look like the real Steve Daddy
3. The real Steve Daddy is hiring guys that look like him to run around campus and see how many times he can fool me!
Steve Daddy I'm asking you to please stop hiring those guys to walk around campus! This is getting out of hand! :]

My Magic Purse!

2008-10-14T13:13:00.000-07:00

This is my trusy sidekick! it hold all my crap! and i must say that this is a pretty big purse! but i must admit that i was AMAZED at it capacity last night! it all started when willy and i decided to go see a movie. so he came and pick me up from work. we were both a little hungry so we wanted "real" food for the movies and just figured i would stash it in my purse! so we went to Smiths and started looking around. We found: 1 deli sandwich, a bag of quaker rice cakes (apple cinnamon flavor), Sugar cookies with do it yourself frosting and sprinkles, a bowl of fruit pineapple and kiwi's, and a Fiesta chicken salad! This was our dinner and we figured it could all fit in my purse. We get to the theater and start loading up my purse and it was bulging! willy thought we were going to get caught! ha he of little faith! needless to say we got through just fine and had a wonderful meal! :) luckily for us it was a 10:15 show on a Monday night so there were not many others to witness our crime! and in our defense we did buy some cherry coke from the theater.

Here is a picture of our contraband!

Watch Out For GANGSTAS!

2008-09-22T13:20:00.000-07:00

I know this is not the greatest picture but underneath it really says watch out for gangstas! Me and Willy went to the REAL Salt Lake soccer game on Saturday and when we were walking down to the stadium this was on the sidewalk! I laughed for about 5 min and made Willy take a picture on our way back to the car! The best part is that they sprayed the picture right by where the trax pass! So i guess it was a fair warning right?! The game was fun. we went on a big group date with a bunch of boys from Willy's soccer team. Lucky us it didn't rain til the end but... i froze anyways. it wasn't quite as exciting as the David Beckham game! He was very YUM! But all in all it was a fun night even though we lost! :]

We sat right next to the supporter section! NOT a good idea if you have little kids and don't want them hear bad words! lol! They kept lighting off all these smoke bombs and it was cool to watch all the colors, but i could have done without the smell!

Me and my German enjoying the game!

My German!

2008-09-18T13:42:00.000-07:00

This is my German!

He is the best boyfriend ever! He is my best friend and he is always there when i need him! He can always make me laugh, even on the grumpiest day of my life! I know that when we are together we are always going to have a good time! We have been together about a year and a half and things never get old! All our funny jokes and stories are still well... funny! He is such a good influence in my life! Its nice to have a partner in crime, to know that someone always has my back and i can tell him my secrets and they wont be all over town! lol!

He has done so much for me since we have been together! I appreciate everything he has done and i love him with my whole heart! I know that we still have many fun adventures to come!

Will the real Steve Daddy please stand up?!

2008-09-12T12:00:00.000-07:00

A few days ago i was at my grandmas house and my aunt Julie was there asking me how i was liking school so far, blah blah blah! Then she told me that her hubby Steven was going to school to. Then about 2 days ago i was walking from my german class down to meet willy. i was up in the valley view room when i spotted him! Steven Lamar Eldredge! He was sitting at a table he talking to some people, and he was wearing his white american eagle hoodie, i knew it had to be him, so when i got closer i said excitedly! STEVE DADDY! HI! To my horror the guy that looked up was NOT my uncle! DOH! so there i am with about 20 people staring at me because i had said it louder than i had meant to, and no one was saying a word. Everyone was just staring at me. then i said "you look like my uncle." still complete silence... more silence, and with it growing more and more awkward, and everyone still just staring at me, i just look around and said... "Welp! See ya later!" and walked away.

only after did i remember that Julie had said he comes at like 7pm! but wait! it gets better! waiting on one of the benches waiting for willy to meet me for lunch some boy walks by and says "Hey I know you! Your the girl with the uncle! I wish i could say this kind of thing was uncommon for me but really its the story of my life!

So will the real Steve Daddy please stand up?!

Living the Costco Dream

2008-09-11T12:20:00.000-07:00

My story begins in my bed at 5:20 am! im trying to wake up slowly because i have to be to work at 6:30. when my phone starts buzzing! Who has the nerve to be calling at this hour. so i roll over and look at my phone, its Costco. My first thought is don't answer but then i thought i better. I answer, this is how it goes.

Jade- (groggily and slightly irritated) Hello?

BJ- Hey Jade this is BJ from Costco, your opening person called in sick. can you be here in 20 min?!

Jade- .... Uh... yea it will take me 20 min from my house and im in bed so i can be there in a half hour.

BJ- Okay thanks!

Jade- yep. see ya

CLICK!

Only a half hour earlier but... i have never opened alone before, anywho. I arrive at work and the cases for the deli had been cleaned... i don't know how to put them together! DOH! I slowly start figuring it out when Mike comes. (Mike is my new supervisor and hasn't quite got the hang of things!) So im telling mike what to do! so we get going and i check the schedule to see who is coming in next! DOH! its Dakota! another new person who still hasn't got the hang of things. his favorite subjects are working out, how he likes to drink and... oh yea working out! So he gets there im telling my supervisor and Dakota what to do and there is a knock at the deli door. i answer it and its one of the ladies on the floor. She came to tell us that one of our ovens is overflowing with water and there is a puddle on our floor! DOH DOH DOH!!! so i go into check it out and i think by puddle she meant a small lake. it turns out Dakota put the tinfoil on the ovens before they were done cleaning! AHH! FINALLY it was time for me to go home. Im walking to the front and i see Brian he stops to say hi, our conversation goes something like this:
Brian- Hey jade how are ya?
Me- (sarcastically) oh just wonderful!
Brian- Yea just living the Costco dream huh?

Yes Yes i am! just living the Costco dream! DOH!

The time has come!

2008-09-09T14:05:00.000-07:00

Welcome to my blog!
