~*My 24th Birthday*~

So...I got lucky this year. Even though Bryces Golf Outing dinner was the same night of my birthday...I was lucky b/c Uncle Tom, Uncle Shorty and Nancy were here to spend my birthday with me!! The dinner was on my actual birthday, so we decided to go out on Saturday night. all of my friends, Uncle Tom, Shorty and Nancy...Mom and Dad and even Nana and Joe came out for a while. We had a blast!! We went out to our favorite place called Britton Tavern and had a great time!!



Here are some pictures from the evening!!

Crazy!

So I haven't updated this as much as I wanted to. But things have been a little crazy. Mom, Dad, the girls, and Uncle Shorty and Nancy basically went straight from the Golf Outing to Marthas Vineyard for Vacation. They left me to work a million hours at the we*b (as we like to call it) and take care of their house.....their house consists of..Bruizer, the most needy dog on the planet, the midget kitten (with no tail), who has to eat canned food 3 times a day, and would eat more if you let him, the turtle, the Lizard, and the other 2 cats. The 2 big cats, no big deal. But the turtle and the lizard have to have their lights turned on and off at certain times, fed at certain times, blahblahblah....it is all driving me nuts! And don't forget about the mail, the 2 newspapers, everyday...watering the plants, cleaning out the kitty liter, and making sure the house doesn't burn down.They get back tomorrow night and I cannot wait! Bruzier came over to stay with Me, Zach and Lilly every night. He was easily annoyed with Lilly, but he got over it! Also this week I had a girl call off work b/c of a death in her family so I had to scurry to figure out those shifts, and I had to drive downtown to IUPUI twice, b/c the first time I went they screwed stuff up and I couldn't get what I need to get done. SO needless to say its been insane! I have an entire new appreciation for my parents and the crap they do at their house!! Taking care of 2 houses has been a little hectic. I can't wait to return to normal. Zach said to me "Well, now do you still want 5 kids?" I told him..."Yes, why wouldn't I? I don't have to go home just so the kid can poop, like I do with the Dog..." So I'm learning all types of fun new roles of responsibility!
On Friday night, Z knew that I was tired and stressed so he took me out for dinner at our friend Brians Restaurant called Pamfilios, I had never been there. Steph works there, so she was our server! It is an Italian restaurant...my favorite. It was so nice..we drove around and checked out the HUGE houses in Carmel (The Village of West Clay). It was a nice time. When we left there we went to my parents house to get Bruizer and discovered that he had torn up a large piece of carpet, and a huge box of eight, 1000 piece puzzles from underneath Morgans bed. I didn't have my camera with me, otherwise I would have taken pictures. I was sooooooo mad. If you can only imagine...I was not a happy camper. I immediately called my parents and sisters, and they thought it was funny. NOT SO MUCH!
So as you can see, I am more than ready for my family to be back and take back over their crazy ZOO of a house! And I am ready to return to mine! My house is not clean, and have more laundry than I know what to do with! And Lilly misses me! I'm sure of it. haha.

I will be back asap with pictures from the , my birthday, Jaymies Wedding ANd the Golf Outing Dinner, and the Actual Golf Outing!! Which was a HUGE success, and SO much fun!!
I'll be writing soon!!

Blog Virginity! ;]

So I'm rather excited about this blogging business! =] I think it will be a great way for me to communicate with family and friends that I don't get to see very often...or that live too far away from me! It makes me happy!!

Anyway..I figured I would start from NOW, instead of going back in time. Less confusing, right?!

I'm enjoying my summer so so much. I have learned that I actually enjoy the outdoors and boating...and camping..hahaha who would have ever thought. Zach has definitely made me realize how much fun trying new things can be!! We (Zach, Me and Lilly..our puppy) have spent most of our time on the boat, outside, with our parents/families, or at our usual hang out...Britton Tavern, very rarely can you find us at home!! Love it! And for those of you who don't know Zach...you are sure missing out. We have been dating for almost a year now...and its been an interesting, yet amazing time! He is a wonderful guy and I can't wait for all of you to meet him! I'm so glad to finally have found another piece to my happiness!



Hanging on the boat!



Z and I...a night out!




Baby Girl, Lilly! The
coolest Pup Ever!!

my first time tubing!





my first time camping!!!


we*B*tan is our family business that is doing nothing but blooming! And surprisingly enough we are having an exceptionally awesome summer. Being located in Geist, where Boats are just as popular as BMWs, the tanning business doesn't usually make most of its money during the summer months. But for some odd reason we are doing awesome right now! You would have to sit in here one day in December-May to realize how awesome it is that we have this business. We have gotten to know some AMAZING people...kids, students, men, women...and the stories we hear are just as awesome..ha! During our "season" we will have people hanging out the door and down the hall, and most everyone loves it! We have people come in just to talk to us and not even to tan, b/c we are that wonderful! ::smiles:: I love this place! I am only 23 years old and know how to "run" a business....not to bad if I do say so myself.






I am so so excited that I am getting closer and closer to heading back to school in August, for Special Education. [[and Yes, i am aware that you all think I do not have the patience for such a field, but trust me....it is perfect, and I love it!]] I met with an Academic Advisor yesterday and she told me I could come back ::wink::wink::!! I have been out of school for over 2 years, so it is going to be difficult getting back into the swing of things..b/c we all know how much I LOOOOVE school (obvi. I'm joking). I think I will just take probably 3 classes, if I take anymore than that, I will immediately hate it and burn myself out. So I can't wait...pray for me that I make it thru this time! I want it so so badly!


Grandma Mitchell just had a knee replacement and is doing awesome! She is already home, and is going to physical therapy 3 times a week. I talked to her last night and her spirits are high, and she is anxious for building that knee back up!


Bryces 5th Golf Outing is coming up! [[It is going to be pretty amazing, I think.]] We are doing a "2 day deal" this year. On Sunday, July 29th (get out your calendars, b/c that's my 24th Birthday too!!) we are having a big catered dinner, with Kelvin Sampson (IUs bball coach) as our speaker! We are having all kinds of amazing auction items and raffle prizes. (trips to Martha's Vineyard, several FL trips, a ride in an Indy Car, tickets to IU vs KY basketball game, and so many more awesome stuff) Then Monday Morning is the actual Tourney itself. Its going to be awesome, making it 2 days, is just better, I think! It keeps his name going just a little bit longer! =] I can't wait to see all of our family and friends ! Check out the website if you want: http://www.brycemitchellgolf.com/.



Last years Volunteer shirts...this years shirts are Bryces favorite color...North Carolina Blue!

So I think that's it up to now. I can't wait to keep this up with pictures and info on whats going on with me, and my family! Keep in Touch!!
