Two words... peer pressure.

You cant make me.

2008-06-12T21:03:00.000-07:00

The last few months have made me realize how freaking old I am getting. Lets remind you of my recent events.

1. Turned 19
2. Been with my boyfriend for FIVE YEARS
3. Finished my first year of college
4. one of my best friends from forever is ENGAGED
5. ANOTHER one of my friends I have known for forever is also ENGAGED
6. did i mention i FINISHED my first year of college??

Well this may not seem like a whole lot to you guys. But its tweaking me out!! I feel like im still a little kid inside but when I look at my life and myself in the mirror IM OLD! : ( Ok maybe not old... but it is scary that the majority of my friends and myself will be married within the next 4 years, and i will have a diploma from OSU and be starting a career as a elementary school teacher!

I can remember playing dolls in my street with Ashlea Burch, walking into my closet to find my "baby" hanging by a rope (of course, only a big brother would ever think of doing), and being so scared to sleep alone I would find myself on the floor of my parents room almost every night for many years.

I dont wanna grow up!!!!!!! : (

Project dont get pregnant

2008-03-18T21:37:00.000-07:00

For my last art project we were asked to make a "found object" piece. Which means you use an object that is not intended for art. We were also supposed to come up with a metaphor for it. A hidden meaning either serious or joking. An example was a mouse made out of computer parts. Hahaha I originally wanted to make a "fruit bowl" out of artificially flavored fruit soda cans. I got the bowl part done, looked like a child did it. Then I attempted the fruit part. Looked like crap and gave up in a very stressed out mood. Very same night that I decided I had to start all over with only a weekend left... I had to take scott to the emergency room cause he sliced his knuckle open with a soda top. Anyway.. way later that night I could finally start thinking about a new project. I came up with I think, a pretty funny one! The critique for it is tomorrow morning. Wish me luck!! I did a diaper bag that is made out of condoms. Yes 48 condoms cover this bag that is filled with diapers and a baby bottle. Now the real funny part to this whole story is that when me and scott went to fred meyer to buy these massive amount of condoms which by the way we drove all around town to find the cheapest amount in bulk. Well anyway.. we ended up having to buy three 24 packs of the assorted pack. So I could get the right colors I needed. Plus diapers and a bottle all in one purchase. Well we went through the self checkout of course to prevent any possible embarrassment. When we were all done buying them we walk through the beeping part and of course it goes off! Our luck. Normally the workers are too lazy and dont give a crap and usually just let us go, im sure that has happened to you. Not this time. The guy working there grabs the bag from scott and trys scanning them again to get the detector thing off. While he was doing this, there was a couple our age watching that could see through the very thin fred meyer bag and noticed how many we were buying. The couple starts to laugh and looks over at us. I said "i swear its for a project!" The girl looks at me and says "Yea project dont get pregnant!" So there is the very long eventful story for my weekend. Anyway here are a couple pictures of it.. Ill bring it home though so you can get a closer look. : )

Take me out to the ball game.

2008-03-02T14:02:00.000-08:00

So yesterday we went to the OSU baseball game at the PGE park. It was a really fun game! The only down part to it was that it was oh about 30 degrees out. Ok, maybe not that cold. But it was very chilly. But of course Scott and I had to take part in "Dip'n Dots"." Yea I know.. were fools. Oh well! The beavers lost by alot.. It was very sad. But they played really well and it was still an entertaining game. This picture is from the game, I am going to use it for my next photography assignment. Its a narrative piece. I thought it was soo cute this random dad and son. You gotta love it. It makes me feel like its a back in the day picture, just the fans watching the local baseball game on a saturday afternoon. : )

Have a fantastic day!! Its nice out again! Of course it only rained on the day we chose to go to the game. Thats Oregon for ya...

Drum roll please.

2008-02-11T20:49:00.000-08:00

I just saw probably the worst "for the cure" things. We were watching ESPN, and there was the Rutgers basketball team that were in all pink, the chearleaders were in pink, audience in pink, etc. They were playing basketball for the cure! No joke. I laughed so hard and had to call my parentals. Had to share it with someone that would appreciate it. Whats next!?!?!

need a smile?

2008-02-05T23:37:00.000-08:00

I LOVE this picture of molly. good lord is she cute or what?

Cancer sucks.

2008-01-09T23:19:00.001-08:00

thats all i have.

and... it begins all over again.

2008-01-04T10:15:00.000-08:00

It is friday morning now, and in just two days my Christmas break is all over. I am going back to school sunday afternoon. Classes start back up again on monday after being off for an entire month. Not looking forward to it... we have all new classes as we start the new term. Im taking a photography class which im very excited to finally take a class that has something to do with why im even going there. Last term all i had was an astronomy class and 3 fine art classes. Which were actually harder than you would think, i thought out yea fine arts major, that should be pretty easy! Nope, i was wrong. Art teachers are very hard on grading. It sucks. Well that is all. Just be thinking of me this week as a start all my new classes. Hopefully i can start meeting some cool people! That would be nice...

Have a fantastic day.

Well...

2007-12-26T13:14:00.000-08:00

Christmas is over. It is a very sad day for me. Does anyone else hate that feeling right after all the gifts have been opened? I get instantly depressed because i know that now in just a matter of days all the decorations and holiday happiness will be over.

I cant wait until next Christmas already! : )

Much needed photographs

2007-12-10T18:35:00.000-08:00

So... you all I'm sure have heard about the gingerbread makin contest! There have been some askin for the "proof." You be the judge.. keep in mind... Gingerbread houses are supposed to be made of candy and frosting and other items you could eat! Just remember when looking at the pictures!

Tis the season to be merry?

2007-12-02T23:31:00.000-08:00

Yes, it tis the time. Finals week! Ugh. Wish me luck! Good news is I only have three and only two are tests. I just cant wait till they are over. I am stressin just a little. : )

Another piece of good news is after my last exam at 730 AM on FRIDAY, (yes they do make people get up that early. i never knew. : ) ) I get to go home for a whole month for break! That will be so nice! I know I come home alot. But now I get to stay for more than just the weekend and not have to drive so freaking much!

Well have a fabulous week! I shall be getting to bed soon. Goodnight yall.

OH ps.

MERRY CHRISTMAS SEASON! : )

OH double ps.
Can I live there? PLEASE!

BLACK FRIDAY!

2007-11-22T21:56:00.000-08:00

If you are not a pansy, i will see you tomorrow for mad-house shopping!!! Im super excited! After tomorrow we may not be speaking for a couple days after I push you over. I apoligize in advance... ; )

AHHHHHHHHH

2007-11-20T20:33:00.000-08:00

So.. I just got home for thanksgiving break about fourty five minutes ago. I had to register for classes for winter term at 8pm. That was my "time slot." I am all excited to register because I told myself, if i am able to set up my schedule so that I am able to come home tuesday evenings for training to go to India on a missions trip, then I am meant to go on it. Hope thats not too confusing.. anyway. So i have been waiting and waiting to sign up for classes as you could imagine. I go to do it, i sign up for my writting class and math class, then soon find out the dumb asses over at oregon state art department decided not to switch me over to the art major.. making it very hard to sign up for art classes when you must be an art major to get into them. Im freaking out at this moment. Now I am away from campus, only able to talk to the stupid advisor over the phone.. oh and to top it all off.. the photography class and two of my art classes are already full. Which makes my layout of the next few years all screwed up. OH and I highly doubt I will have much control over my schedule now and most likely will not be able to go on that mission trip. sweet! Gosh this has been fun. Thanks for listening to me complain.

ugh,
goodnight...

Life as a musical?

2007-11-03T12:03:00.000-07:00

Scott and I have decided that if our life was like a musical... everything and everyone would be so much happier! Who could really be upset when someone just breaks out into song and dance while walking down the street. It would just put you in a better mood!

Just sit and think about it for a second... It's one to ponder about. : )

OSU ADDRESS!

2007-10-14T22:57:00.000-07:00

College Life

2007-09-17T17:40:00.000-07:00

Well so far so good... last night was a little hard for me. My roommie doesnt come till tomorrow morning so I am alone in my room for two nights. I went over to scotts place with my friend Andi and her boyfriend Eric. We watched Almost Famous (good movie : ) ) Then I came back to my dorm watched like an hour of Devil Wears Prada and took some sleeping pills and fell right to sleep. Thank goodness. I slept pretty much all through the night. Which I guess was pretty good compared to my friends who kept waking up cause there bed sucked, or cause it was loud. Bummer for them. Hehe. Well this is alot of rambling but im sorta bored.. waiting to go to dinner with scott, eric, andi, and kelsey. Should be fun times. Well that is all. Think of me tomorrow around 9 am when my roommate moves in. I just hope we get along and she likes the setup of the room I chose... Well that is all. Have a great night yall. Missin you already.

I DID IT!!!!!

2007-09-12T21:00:00.001-07:00

I totally got my tattoo yesterday!
-Thank you to Sarah and her children, my mom and also to my dearest friend Andi. I couldnt have done it without you guys. I also want to thank God. Through him everything is possible. ( I made it sound like a oscar award!! you like?)

Anyway... I love my tattoo and im so happy I did it!! I realized I may die tomorrow, and I want to live my life with risks and adventures. I think thats the way that everyone should strive to live their lives like. Those are my intense thoughts for the day. Have a fabulous night!

-Haley

Just cause

2007-09-09T14:49:00.000-07:00

I know I JUST posted. But I came across this absolutly perfect picture. Had to post it!

What I should be doing...

2007-09-09T09:56:00.000-07:00

Well like most people, im way to lazy to do what I really should be doing right now, which is pack. I leave in a week from today and have not started packing. I have everything ready to go just not in boxes. Im kinda pushing it off as much as I can. I told my dad yesterday don't worry ill do it sometime this week. He laughed and said well you better since you only have this week left. I dont know, this is a lame blog. But you all are reading it anyway. Because I bet we are all on blogger reading other peoples blogs for the main purpose of avoiding something we should be doing. That is all. Oh and my super sweet picture of the dragon fly, is just for you to enjoy.

Have a gooood day! Ill see most of you in a few hours!

Tattoo?

2007-09-04T22:25:00.000-07:00

Ok... So I have been thinking alot lately about getting a tattoo! Now. I need some opinions. First off do I even get one? Second.. how do you like my design? (thinking about maybe having MacMillan written right below it) And thirdly... where do i put it!? The only place that seems to fit is my lower middle back. Too trampy? HELP!!

Oh the design is a celtic knot that has the symbol for Holy Trinity (Father, Son, Holy spirit.)

Not a James picture...

2007-09-03T19:12:00.000-07:00

Ok so this is not even on the same level as the James picture.. However these kids do for sure put a smile on your face! Baby Kate has an awful lot to live up to! These kids have the personalitly as well as the looks. See pictures for evidence!

I SEE ORANGE PEOPLE...

2007-08-31T15:40:00.000-07:00

THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!

So. Just got back from Corvallis. FIRST OSU FOOTBALL GAME! Guess what.. WE WON! Alright enought with my shouting. Well my parents, myself, and Andria Parsons went down just for the night to see the Oregon state vs. Utah game. It was the first game. Also was a pre-season game. It was alot of fun. Andi and I sat/stood in the student section! AH! We are students at a university! Dear lord. Sorry had to tweak for a second. Anyway, my parents sat a ways down in their season ticket area. Its pretty cool! Over 40,000 fans were there pretty much all in orange! It was a sight to see. I can't wait for school to actually start and to start meeting people. I think that will make the games even more fun!

thanks and have a great day!

ZOO!!!

2007-08-27T12:02:00.000-07:00

I love me some zoo. Scott and I took lauren and hayden to the zoo last week. It was a blast. Thought I would share some of the oh so cool pictures.

My top five...

2007-08-22T00:53:00.000-07:00

Ok so I'm not as obsessed with movies as all yall... but I do have a few that I would consider my favs.... Not in an particular order. Here I go.

-Ten Things I Hate About You.
-My Best Friends Wedding
-Mean Girls. (I'm sorry.. Its true..)
-The Notebook
-Super Bad.
Just saw it in the theater. It's truely amazing. Worth my whole nine dollars.

And many others. I just can't really think its almost 1am.

There ya go Sarah! Peer pressure at its finest. : )

I swear!!

2007-08-17T23:47:00.000-07:00

Ok I swear i'm not racist. Just some things make me chuckle a little. So at work today I went back into the dish washer area/ kitchen and in there they were playing the loudest mexican music.. I actually stood there for a minute pondering this as I was gathering my silverwear. What if they hired a white person to work in the back. Would they have to be back there and listen to that music all day? I seriously think I would shoot myself. By the way its not just today that they were playing it. It is everyday. Just today I thought that I would share this with you. As I was putting all my silverwear in my oh so cool bin I thought you know, I should blog about this. HAHA. It has got me hooked.

Oh ps.. I just got home from watching High School Musical TWO! I made scott record it for me so we could watch it. I have to admit. I kinda sorta really enjoyed it. : )

Seven hours of my life

2007-08-13T19:18:00.000-07:00

I spent seven hours of my life today working on a slideshow of some past and recent pictures that I have taken and a couple that were just perfect fits for this "assignment." My dad is preaching at our church this coming sunday, and had asked me to make this slideshow to the lyrics of Turn, Turn, Turn by The Byrds. (Im sure you all know that song! Love it!) Anyway, so i thought it would be really easy to do this slideshow. I was wrong. For some reason it took me seven hours to complete it. This is after I had already taken all of the pictures but two. Man alive do I hate my parents computer. Im so used to my little macbook now that I have forgotten how incredibly slow and annoying our home computer is. Oh man. It gets me mad just thinking about it. Ok but to top of the stressful day I had with this dang slideshow thing is, I rushed to get it done cause a guy at our church wanted it by tonight. He didnt even show up to pick it up. What a punk right? Oh and to really top it all off, I was sick. Note to all.. dont eat a hot dog from the airshow. I think I ate bad "meat."

Fine arts major..?

2007-08-11T21:44:00.001-07:00

Most of you know that i want to be a photographer in the future. If you didnt, well now you do! I went down to Oregon State with my mom on thursday. That was a hellish experience. We were late to both of our appointments. We looked like the cool kids looking at the map standing in the middle of the campus trying to find which building we were supposed to be in. After we figured it out i was able to talk to the fine arts dude. He kinda helped me decide if i should be a fine arts major or a business major. Now the problem with the fine arts major is that with that i have to not just take the photography classes but i also have to take drawing, painting, sculpting and crap that seems really cool. However, my skills in that area dont go much further than coloring inside the lines in my cool princess coloring book. Yes i really do have a princess coloring book. Any who.. i walked away from that appointment stressed and relieved all at the same time. I did decide to do the fine arts major. Maybe ill find my true calling in putting some twine together in a piece of "art." No offense to anyone who may have made a piece of art out of twine at some point in their life. Well thats all the rambling i have for tonight. Going to bed soon. Goodnight.

Hello!

2007-08-11T21:26:00.000-07:00

Well I have now created a blog. Everyone has told me to do it. So look at me I went and made one for myself. Thats all for now. Maybe I will post something else later! peace.
