family

so, i was home this last weekend, and was waiting for zach to come and get me because we were going to go yard saling to look for a dresser for him since he's just moved. I was talking to dad in the family room and cassandra was sitting there too. I had asked dad a question about where an address was and dad didnt exactly know, so he turned to cassandra to ask her. she knew where it was, pointed it out to dad, and then dad turned to me and basically just reiterated what cassandra had told him. It is ALWAYS like that. if i'm ever talking to dad and cassandra is there too, i might ask a question that dad doesnt know the answer to, he will ask cassandra, she'll tell him, and then he'll say something like, did you hear her? or yup, like cassandra said. she cant even answer a question directed to me, even though i was the one that asked it. i guess at any rate in the past six years or so now, i've at least come to really appreciate the people that are mother figures in my life, since i really dont have one thats at home with me. I have people like my friends devon and diana's mom, debbie, who is truly like my second mother. though really, that whole family is like my second family. i can also really appreciate zach's mom. she is such a sweetheart and its definately always a plus when you can get along with the boyfriends parents. :) but thanks to grandma and amy, and debbie, brenda...i really appreciate you guys and i hope your kids do too.

boys...

So I'm in class with twelve boys. I can honestly say that most of the time, they are more girly than I am! :) As much as those boys complain about everything and gripe and such...I'm surprised we ever get anything done! lol. no, they're good guys and its a lot of fun being the only girl. I like to think that I'm atypical and have given them a view of a different type of girl than the super girly ones that dont ever like to get dirty and all that. I'm pretty mouthy, but I've learned to be in class. If you can take it when they dish it to ya, or ya cant dish it back, you just about get eaten alive. that happend to another kid that was in our class and he ended up dropping out. they were pretty harsh on him, but he didnt handle it well either. The other thing ive learned being in class with all boys the past two years is that when it comes time for me to find someone to spend the rest of my life with, they cant be a jealous person. they have to be able to trust me and the fact that though i work with guys, am with guys all day, that the one im with is the person i care about. Both john and nate were jealous of the fact that i have guy friends. I'm im a male dominated field and will continue to be for the rest of my life. I cant change that and dont think that its fair for someone to ask me to because they're insecure with that fact. thankfully, i have found someone that isnt like that. :) i really appreciate zach's ability to trust me even though i hang out with specifically two guys just about every night. you cant have a good relationship without trust, so by the looks of it, we're off to a good start.
