Communication

Paper

2005-04-25T20:19:00.000-07:00

I turned in my last English paper today! Yea!!!! What a relief! I was in Maryville last night until 11:45 working on this stupid thing. My mom was a minor in English so thats why I got to Maryville. She is a huge help! Anyway, tomorrow is our last day of class for Com!!! Not that I'm excited or anything. I do have to give my speech which I dont want to! I hate getting up in front of people. Even if I know them I stillg et REALLY nervous. Oh well......

Formal

2005-04-23T23:51:00.000-07:00

Tonight was J. Cru formal at the YWCA it was a blast! I don't normaly do J. Cru things because I jsut dont have the time, But my friend Raya talked me into going tonight and Justin andf I really had a good time. My feet are killing me but thats ok, it was worth it

Grandma Lu

2005-04-22T09:44:00.000-07:00

Wow, its been awhile since I have posted. It's been kinda busy with school and work lately, but other than that noting to exciting has happened. Today was my Great Grandma Lu's birthday. I met everyone out at McDonalds for breakfast. It was cute, it was me and then all these 60 and up people. I don't get to see my family very often, even tho they live in the same town. It's kinda sad. So it was nice being able to see them. Yesterday I was in MAryville for 8 hours working on my last English paper. So today I am going in a little early to talk to my professor about my paper to make sure I am on the right track.

Daddy!

2005-04-11T22:47:00.000-07:00

We met up with my dad today for Mel's birthday. We went to the Ground Round. Yucky, I didnt like it. But it was nice being able to see my dad. We don't see him very often. Justin and I rode his bike there and when we were leaving it started raining. That kinda sucked, but then we came home and got a movie and watched it with Mel and Logan.

Mels Party

2005-04-09T23:44:00.000-07:00

Today is Mel, my sisters Birthday. We decided to go to the Great wolfe Lodge in KC. She really loved it, she's 22 by the way, but I didn't care for it to much. After about 25 min it lost my interest. But we had fun anyway. There were 5 of us, Mel and Logan , Justin and I and then Mel's friend Stephanie, they hung out the entire time and then so did Logan and Justin, so I felt like the 5th wheel. But thats ok, I know Mel wanted me there so thats all that maters!

Psyc and History Test

2005-04-08T02:32:00.000-07:00

Well i had a history test today and a psychology test today. I need good grades on both of them. If i get a B or higher on my Psyc test then I dont have to go back for the rest of the semester! Yea!!!! I think I did ok. My history test I'm not so sure about. I didnt feel as confident. I dont know there is just something about those tests that make them soooo dang hard! Well I'm not going to worry about it. It's Friday! My sister and her husband are coming into town tonight so that'll be fun.

History Test

2005-04-07T22:44:00.000-07:00

Well tonight was Justins cousins birthday. We went to the Pizza Shoppe in Savannah. It wasn't to bad. I couldn't stay for the entire time because I told Charly we would study for our history test tomorrow. We study some on monday and some on Wednesday. So I feel fairly conifdent about it, but these history tests are sooo hard!!! So I went to her house which is way out in the country. I love it!!! I wish I still lived out in the country. Anyway, I met her parents and her sister and her sisters boyfriend. It was a good time.

The Dentist

2005-04-04T15:36:00.000-07:00

So I really wish that I could have better communication with mydad because as far as I knew I had dental insurance. First of all my dad wont give me a health insurance card and tells me to tell them his social security and thats it. Well that doesn't work! I had a dentist appointment today that was long over due and I go and they tell me that I dont have enough information for them to allow me to go through with the appointment! I was mad. So I called my steop mom and she just talked like she didnt know what they were talking about. Anyway Im mad.

Work stinks!

2005-04-03T17:15:00.000-07:00

I think yesterday was the longest day of my entire life. I had to work from 9 am to 9 pm at the museum because of a dinner we had, then I went to Alpha Omega formal and then to the after party. I didnt get home last night until 1 oclock only to get up early this morning to go to church. But my God is worth it! :) The formal was really fun, except that I didn’t get to get dressed up and I was sooo tired from working all day. Oh well I suppose. Tonight Jsutin and I have to go out to my Grandma's for his birthday. Really I would rather just go home and sleep. I'm so so so so tired!

Rayas New Place

2005-04-01T15:29:00.000-08:00

Tonight I did a lot of running around. Went and saw Raya at her new place, very nice! I think I'm going to like her living there we will get to see eachother more often. Really other than that it hasnt been to exciting of a day. It was pay day today! Speaking of I have had to work since Saturday, tomorrow it will be 7 days straight and my next day off isn't until next Thursday. That means I have to work 10 days in a row. Ehh! and tomorrow is not supposed to be a fun day at work either.

Alpha Omega Girls

2005-03-30T16:03:00.000-08:00

Today, Charly, Raya, Dyan and I all went to the coffe shop at World of Life. It was really nice to be able to get to know all of them better. Well Raya and I are best friends, but it was really nice getting to know the other too. I got my ring back today! Yea! It was as bad as I thought it would be, really the time went by pretty fast. But I feel like a whole person again!

My Ring

2005-03-29T10:02:00.000-08:00

I have to give up my ring for 3 days!!! 3 days!!! I dont want to, but it is to big right now. So I must part with it..... its going to be a long three days!

Easter Sunday

2005-03-27T23:35:00.000-08:00

This is the first Easter I have had off sicne I started working at the museum six years ago!!!! Wow its exciting! I had a really busy day tho. Which it seems that way a lot lately. I have no time for anything anymore. I should have enjoyed Spring Break more. Oh well, anyway Justin and I had dinner with his family at his house and then we went on a really long bike ride and then we went to Elevation at World Of Life Church with his brother and sisiter and law and his cousin and her fiance. Then after that was over at 9 we, my sister and her husband and Justin and I, all went out to see my Grandma and drop some stuff off at her house. She lives out by Easton. And now I am finally home. Shoo, long day. And tomrrow is Monday only to start it all over again.

Maryville

2005-03-22T20:55:00.000-08:00

I fianlly got my english paper done! I have been coming up here to Maryville off and on this past week so my mom could help me with my paper for English. I swear my teacher is the hardest teacher ever!! But my mom minored in English so she has been an awesome help. That and it has been nice to be able to talk and spend time with her. I feel like I dont ever get to see her. Friday night Justin and I came up here and he ended up falling asleep and my mom and I stayed up till 11:00 talking about an hour and a half longer than what I was planning on staying up there. But it was nice none the less.

Yes!!!

2005-03-21T15:53:00.000-08:00

Well yesterday was the most wonderful day in my ENTIRE life! For all of you that dont know, Justin proposed to me yesterday. It was sooo perfect. He took me on a horseback ride and half way through our ride he had us get off the horses, he gave me a huge hug and asked me if I knew he loved me. Of course I said yes, and then he asked me if I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. Thats when it hit me! I swear my face hurts sooo bad today because I smiled so much yesterday. But after I answered yes to that question he got down on his knee and asked me, "Will you Penny June Lyon be my wife?" and we all know what my answer was to that! So! Today I have been on cloud nine

Mustang!

2005-03-20T12:20:00.000-08:00

Well the reason he has been spending all his time away is finaly done! He got his Mustang working! yea!!!!! I'm so happy! haha, no I really am, I know how much it means to him. We went and cruzed around in it for a couple of hours tonight, it was really relaxing. We also told his parents about it tonight. They didnt know anything about it until tonight. haha, he was afraid they would get mad. But they really didn't. His dad got a little heated but only for a couple of moments. So anway, maybe I can get my boyfriend back now! :-D

Kansas City!

2005-03-17T22:49:00.000-08:00

Well Justin made it up to me just a little bit today. He took me out to eat at the Olive Garden in Kansas City. We were going to watch a movie at the AMC theaters but we were both tired. He should be because he stayed up till 12:45 this morning and then got up and went to work at 6! and no, just so you know he was not spending that time with me. Ok, but enough about that I'm sure you dont want to hear about my boyfriend and I's problems. But I think we really need to work on our communication, because there is none! Well thats how I feel anyway.

This week sucks

2005-03-16T22:43:00.000-08:00

Well so far my week has been sucky. My so called boyfriend has not spent anytime with me at all. Which would be ok if it was a normal week, but this week I don't have anything to do and I have a lot of extra time that I don't usualy have. But he's spending all his time over at his friend Danny's house trying to get his car running. I'm happy that he got a car, but that doesn't mean he cant spend time with me haha. Yesterday I went to Maryville for the evening to see my mom and so she could help me on my paper. We got most of it done. Probably half. But there is still the other half to go. Gots to keep praying!

The Weddings

2005-03-13T21:15:00.000-08:00

Well both of the weddings went really well. My boss wasn't to happy with me that I had to take off an hour on Saturday for Missy's wedding and an hour on Sunday for Nikki's wedding, haha he didn't even know I had step sisters. I told you we weren't close. It's really kinda sad my dad has been married to Colleen for almost 5 years now, or maybe more and we don't know them very well. They live in Cameron. Not that that is an excuse but there just isnt enough time in one day. Well Missy's wedding was at the Twins Spires church downtown, very beautiful. It was nice to be able to spend some time with my dad that day too. Then on Sunday my two sisters and I thought we knew where the church was, but we didnt. We all thought it was a different church and none of the churches we thought was it. So were a little late getting to Nikki's but it was still really nice, they waited for us to get there. haha oops. But that was my weekend in a nut shell, tomorrow, SPRING BREAK! I didn't tell my boss that it was spring break because I didn't want to have to work all week long.

Psyc Test

2005-03-11T12:12:00.000-08:00

Well I didn't study for my test today in Psyc. I have had so a crazy week. At least next week is Spring break. But I have so much to do over Spring break. I am way behind on my reading for History and I haven't started on my paper in English that is due the Monday we come back and I haven't started on my speach for Communications. We had to have an outline on Tuesday about what we are going to be giving ourn speach on but I didn't really know so I did it over riding horses. But I dont think thats going to be a very exciting topic. Not everyone likes horses like me. So I talked it over with my group and they thought I should do something about the museum. I'm going to see what I come up with next week. ITS FRIDAY!!!! This weekend is going to be crazy too, two of my step sisters are getting married. We don't talk very much but I know it would mean a lot to my dad if I went so, I have to take off some time from work and go. I'm can't stay very long because I do have to go back to work.

This Weekend

2005-03-06T20:10:00.000-08:00

Well I really didnt do a whole lot this weekend. Mostly worked. Thats what my life consists of is working and school and Justin. We watched a couple of movies while relaxing on the couch. We went to Wyatt Park Baptist for church today. We all really liked it. The people there were really ncie and I knew the guy that was in charge of singing. He was a teacher of mine from High School. So I had to go up and tell him hi, he was happy to see me.

English

2005-03-02T15:04:00.000-08:00

The funniest thing happened today. My friend Ellie and I decided that we were going to skip our English class today so we could look up some stuff in the Library for that class. So here we are in the library when out class walks in! haha, of all times the teacher decides to come to the library is when we're in there. He didn't say anything and even let us make up something the other students did in the classroom before they went to the library. How nice huh?

Nothing New

2005-03-01T22:52:00.000-08:00

Nothing really new today, just a normal BUSY Monday. I worked this morning then went to class, the came home for a couple of hours then went to Kim's for discipleship then went to Alpha Omega and now I'm working on my English, or trying to anyway. It was a really good day tho, I'm really starting to like Alpha Omega and the girls in it. I hope we will be able to become really close to eachother. And Kim, she is such an awesome person, gives me so much hope and encouragement.

Nothing New

2005-02-28T22:52:00.000-08:00

Breakfast

2005-02-27T18:27:00.000-08:00

This morning me, Justin, his mom and dad, his aunt and uncle and their kids and all went out to eat at Cracker Barrel for breakfast before church. It was really nice. I have gotton so close to Justin's family. It was nice to be able to sit down and talk with them for an hour or so. Then after we ate we went to Grace. We all really liked it. But we are still keeping out options open. After church I had to go to work :( Now I'm at home relaxing.....

2005-02-26T23:40:00.000-08:00

Wow, so this has been one crazy week. It's been a good one, but really crazy. I had to go to work and class on Tuesday and then on Wednesday there was this huge ordeal at work with some volunteer not leaving some people alone. Then on Thursday I was able to relax a little Friday I had to go out to eat with Justin and his friends from work, then today I had to go to work and then tonight we went out to eat with my grandma and my sister and her finace. It was really nice but I'm ready to just CHILL! Tomorrow we are going to church at Grace and I'm excited for it. I hope thats where we end up. I really haven't had a lot of time to do anything with Raya or Ellie, life has been so busy!

Study

2005-02-21T21:57:00.000-08:00

I'm so proud of myself!!!! I actually studied!!!! YEA! I was supposed ot have a history test last Friday and it got m,oved to this wednesday and so my friend Charly and I got together and studied! WE're so awesome, as for the rest of my day I worked, went to KC with Justin and his parents to Panera and then came home and went to Kims for my descipleship and then to study and now I'm home! Whew! Busy busy busy! And the rest of my week is only supposed to get worse! Good bye!

KC

2005-02-19T01:48:00.000-08:00

Tonight was a blast! Justin, Raya and her friend Zach and I all went to KC to dinner and a movie. We went to the Olive Garden where we had to wait an HOUR to be seated, but the food was worth and we had a nice time chatting and then we went to see the movie "Wedding Date" not the greatest movie, : kinda felt bad for the guys, oops oh well. Then we came home, thats about as exciting as it gets in my life. Tomorrow (well I guess this morning now) I have to get up and go to work! Fun fun!

Work

2005-02-17T21:31:00.000-08:00

Well usually I'm supposed to have Thursday's off but I had to work today because we had a film crew here from Morning Star Productions. Doing a documontary on Jesse James. The day went fast, I got to meet a lot of new people in the film industry, (I'm going to be famous now, I know it!) There was this one guy named Drew that was dressed like a cowboy who got on my nerves because he was very full of himself, but we had a French tour that day, and he go to show off to all the French people who really loved it. So I guess it wasn't all for the bad. Now Ellie is over here and we're are supposed to be working on a rough draft that is due tomorrow. haha, we haven't started on it yet. And now I think she has to leave, (we talk to much) Anyways! I'm going to enjoy the rest of my evening off......

Com Class

2005-02-15T22:04:00.000-08:00

Well I finally gave my speach! Yea! I don't think I did that bad, by the time I finally agve it ( 3 weeks after i was supposed to) I wasn't really that nervous. I just have a problem of speaking to fast and not looing at the audience but who cares about those things when you give a speach? haha! Well goodnight!

Valentine's Day

2005-02-14T21:58:00.000-08:00

Today was so nice!!! I had to work this morning and I got some gifts from my co-workers and then I was supposed to have class at 11 but my friend Ellie called ma and told me that class had been cancled! So I was very excited. So after I got done at work I sent around some flowers to a couple of girlfriends of mine that are still in highschool. Then I really did have to go to class. It was boring. Haha, then I came home and got ready for the surprise that Justin made. We ended up going to the plaza with my two sisters and their significant others and got a carriage ride. We had a lot of fun. I got pictures!

To Fast

2005-02-12T23:46:00.000-08:00

Well this weekend went by way to fast. I was on the go all weekend! Friday night I didn't really do anything. Justin and I sat around and watched a movie. We went horseback riding that afternoon! It was fun!!!!! Saturday I had to work all day then right after work I had to get my nails done (I was there for 2 hours! ahh!) Then after THAT Justin, my sister Amy and her boyfriend went out to eat and soon after I got home I went to bed. Then today I got up early and went to church, work and then right after work I had to go to Maryville because my mom lives up there now and has been complaining about how she hasn't been able to see me! So!! Justin and I went up there and spent the evening with my mom and Mel and there significant others. It was a ncie night but I was busy for 48 hours!!!!! I'm actually kinda glad tomorrow is Monday and Valentine's Day at that!

Shopping~

2005-02-10T22:01:00.000-08:00

Today was so much fun! Well first I went to see my gret-grandma and another older friend of mine in a nursing home. I was there for about 2 hours. I was glad to leave. I know I know thats probably mean! Anyway I was glad to be able to sit and chit chat with them for awhile becuase it had beena very long time since I had talked to either of them. After that I went shopping with my sister Mel! We had so much fun. We were at the mall for almost three hours tho. Haha, she lives in Maryville so we really don't get much time to hang out the two of us. It was a very nice evening.

Birthday Party!

2005-02-09T20:17:00.000-08:00

Tonight was Kim's Brithday party, I didnt really want to go but because I'm such a gret friend I went anyway! Haha! There were 5 of us girls and it was nice to catch up on some stuff. I dont really talk to any of the other girls besides Kim tho. Little ackward.

Super Bowl

2005-02-06T20:47:00.000-08:00

I don't know why but for some reason lately I have just not wanted to do anything! I didnt have to work today but I stayed up in my room all day and all night on this stupid computer. (My choosing shoulod you know) I had a good day it was nice to be able to sit around and do nothing sometimes it seems like I never get a chance to sit back and relax. Justin went over to some of his friends house while I stayed here and enjoyed the chance to relax!

Nothin.....

2005-02-04T15:46:00.000-08:00

Well..... Nothing really has been going on. I have mostly just been busy this week with school and work. Yesterday I sat around the house all day which was really nice. I know this might be silly but I play a loy of the Sims 2 game, and sometimes I think about me being a sim and how my "health" bars would be going down. Like my social bar. But tonightEllie is supposed to come over and we are going to spend some quality girl time together and watch a movie and eat pizza! Sounds like fun! Kelsey, Justin's cousin is spending the weekend with us because her parents are going out of town. She's always fun to hang out with. And I think my sister is supposed to be coming to town. She goes to school in Maryville. So tonight should be pretty fun!

Com Class

2005-02-01T21:45:00.000-08:00

I was so worked up all day today because I had my speach tonight!!!and guess what!?!?! I didn't give it. Haha it's almost kind of funny. Jill and I were trying to give eachother some encouragement before class and she got called second. I'm supposed to go next week. OH! Last night I started Alpha Omega! It was awesome! I'm very excited to start it! I hope to be able to meet lots of new people and become close friends with them. Thats the only bad thing about having a really serious boyfriend. You don't get to hang out with a lot of your girlfriends. But I know that with Alpha Omega I will be able to have a lot of Christin friends. Should be good!

New Church!

2005-01-27T17:31:00.000-08:00

Well because of all the stink that is going on with our church, Justin and I decided to go Grace this morning instead of Frederick. The people there were very friendly and talkitive. They made us feel right at home, but actually it didn't feel like home. I think I'm attached to Frederick. There's nothing like you home church and the people there.

2005-01-26T00:43:00.000-08:00

Tonight we, Justin and his family, went out to eat for Christin's Birthday. We went to Bravo's at Zona Roso. I ended up buying some pants that I probably shouldn't have. Overall the dinner was really good. Greg, Justin's dad, was kinda grouchy because of Christin (they don't get along very well). Then when we got home, Christin and Nate, Justin's brother, started this huge argument about church and about Justin and I and it really wasn't a good thing. I ahve been trying really hard to have love for Christin and after tonight it's not going to be any better!

2005-01-25T16:12:00.000-08:00

Today I had to work a full day at the museum. 8 to 4, I actually dont dred my Tuesdays tho because this gives me time to catch up on everyone's life not alone time to catch up on ym work. I also wrote my mom who lives in Maryville a letter today. Just for fun. The card was really cute the front of it said "do you know what today is?" and the inside of it said "neither do i" Anyway, I used to write my mom letters all the time but since school started I really haven't taken the time to do it as often anymore. I need to start again though because I know how much she enjoys it.

2005-01-20T23:08:00.000-08:00

Tonight my sister had all of her bridemaids get together and hae dinner. We went out to eat at Chili's and exchanged numbers with eachother. Amy wanted us to have eachothers information so that way we can get to know eachother more before her wedding nrext September. I didnt think it was going to be that much fun, but I actually really enjoyed myself. I think after talking with her friends/other bridesmaids we might have more in common that what I thought.

2005-01-19T18:58:00.000-08:00

Well this has been a somewhat decent first day of classes. I have been instructed by Dr. Capps to keep a blo about the communication in our lives. I'm not exactly sure what we are supposed to write. I guess maybe how we communicated or didnt communicate. This being the first day of most of my classes I would have to say I didn't communicate real well with most of the people in my new classes. I tend to keep to myself. Hopefuly this semester Iwill get involved in more things and meet knew people. My friend Raya and I did go to the gym to work out where we were able to talk about the things going on in our lives. This evening I have also been talking on Instant Messangers which I like, I'm not much for talking on the phone, but I don't mind talking, or should I say typing on the net.
