My car is falling apart.

For those who don't know, this is my 2nd Isuzu Trooper. I had my first one from April 2012- April 2013. Just one year. Then, a drunk driver smashed into and totaled my PARKED car outside of my house. She was obviously speeding because she hit it hard! The steering was totally messed up. It was crooked when I drove it to get an estimate. She pinched my muffler. Mostly just hit the back left corner but did some serious damage. It was an awful experience for me all around but I could go on about that for days... All I'm gonna say is, Safeco Insurance- you are covering someone who hit my parked car while driving drunk! It couldn't be my fault because I wasn't even there!! I was in my bed asleep! How could you not give me a rental cat until she got out of jail to give you a statement? Safeco Insurance sucked!! They were rude and yelled at me for no reason. Tasha Rodman was the only kind person.
Here's a lesson for you: If you drink and drive, you could have to spend a night in jail, pay for a lawyer, buy yourself a new car, but the person you hit a new car, pay for higher insurance, deal with a DUI in your record, and so much more.. What's a $40 cab ride compared to that? Or even calling a friend??

Anyway,
Back to this car.... The drunk driver bought it for me! :) It's not as good as my perfect one she ruined. But it'll do...
The antenna had to be replaced. It has new tires- best Christmas present ever!! But today on my way to work the window totally came off it's track.. Ugh! I know it was a little off and wobbly before but today it was stuck and crooked and a hassle.. All while on my way to work. Thank Goodness Dave came and at least got it up so it wasn't half way down my whole shift. Now I just can't roll my window down.. Hopefully I can fix it soon!

Bambi and Friends..

I've seen multiple deer around my apt building before. I think they're fluffy and adorable and always want to take pictures. My niece Cheyenne would say, "Let me go get my pink gun to shoot the deers". Now calm down people, she doesn't have a real gun. She's awful cute though! :) Anyway, earlier today I saw 7 deer walking around here like it was no big deal.. I want to feed them but then they'll never leave, so I don't.

December marked 6 years..

How has it been 6 years since I've heard your laugh or seen your smile? I think about you all the time and you always seem to put a smile on my face. We had some amazing adventures together!! I miss you so much. I miss having someone who's known me forever and has gone through so much with me. I loved that you didn't care if I slept all the time, you still loved me for me. Sometimes I see someone with long blonde hair and get excited and almost run up to them but then I remember, there's no way that could be you.. I wish so much that you could be here enjoying all these great moments!! I miss you Chels but I know you're doing amazing up there. I hope you still look down and smile at us! :) <3 Stebert


This is the necklace I ordered for Chelsey! <3

Disneyland... It's a long story.

Ok, so to make the long story not quite so long about Disneyland, here are some key points..
• I'm afraid of the characters so we've never been to Disneyland.
• Since I've never been able to go, my brother had never been able to go.
• The last time my brother didn't get to go, it was not my fault.
• I was willing to suck it up and go because it would be fun to experience it once.
• I was trying to plan for Christmas time last year because the lights would be spectacular!
• That didn't work out because we didn't have enough time to plan.
• We are hoping for Christmas time in the near future because it will be a great experience!
• I know that the people I've picked to go with will protect me from the characters. Plus, I've done a TON of research!

Anyway, I don't have Disneyland withdrawals. But I thought this was funny and I do stalk Disney pages, listen to a Walt Disney station on Pandora, and watch Disney movies frequently! :)

I don't watch Hunger Games, but I like her!

I've never been into the whole "Hunger Games" thing. I didn't read the books, I didn't watch the movies. Well I watched the first movie but was very confused and wasn't real impressed.. Apparently you need to read the books....?
Anyway, I'm not too familiar with this actress. I do know that she's been in other things and I will have to see those things now and support her because of this statement. I wish more celebrities, or people in general would be like this- or at least admit they are! :)

Ok, I warned you I had a lot to say.

I have a lot going on in my brain and instead of bothering everyone on Facebook with these 20 posts, I decided to put everything on here. After all, it is on my blog. It's going to be her whether someone reads it or not. I honestly don't care if anyone reads it. I don't write for that. I write for me. I write to get it off my brain. If someone reads it (and likes it) that's a bonus..

Something to think about it!

Somebody had shared this on Facebook and it really got me thinking... This is a very powerful statement. How many people would like to live this way and how many people actually do? It's definitely something to think about! :)

Snow Day

Let's just say that I'm happy to have 4 wheel drive! It snowed here recently (last weekend) and it really came down! This was when they attempted to plow the driveway of my apt but it didn't work too well. I'm happy for my 4 wheel drive and brand new tires!! :)

Kindness is Free!

I think this is a great statement. Not enough people are kind in the world anymore. When you find a kind person who holds the door or does some random act of kindness, you're surprised aren't you? Well we shouldn't be. We should expect everyone to be kind and be surprised when people are rude. Why not hold the door for the person behind you? If you're the person behind them, say thank you. It's the little things that make a difference and make someone's day.

So I see my last past was about a new puppy..

Let me introduce.... Kuma!!
Or Kuma Bear, Puppy Niece, Fluff Ball... Whatever I feel like calling her! :)

They've almost had her for a year and she is just the cutest and sweetest puppy!! I love my Kuma Bear!! :)

Kuma is a Shiba Inu which is a Japanese breed so they picked her name because Kuma means Bear in Japanese and she looked like a lite bear when she was a puppy! :)

Here's some pictures so you can see just how adorable she is:
(1 week after getting her)

I feel like writing again.. We'll see how long it lasts.

I could write a lot in a few days or a little a lot of days.. You never know with me. But I feel like I have a lot to say, so we'll see how this goes! :)
