:)

Im over these sappy, sad blogs. That's not me. I'm not a sad person. I guess everyone must go through downs to appreciate the ups. But I would just rather shorten the down ones as much as possible. Not worth being sad when so much in my life is amazing. I mean...wow. I have the BEST friends and family anyone could ask for. Don't even try to argue with me about it, because you will lose. It's the truth, hands freaking down.

So what is new in the life of Kari Geha. Not much haha. Doing this school thing. I've actually been applying myself more which I'm happy about. I spent the better half of my monday writing an essay. One down, 2 more to go this week. My own fault for putting them off! I knew that would happen in a class which had no set due dates. That results in the downfall of me haha So I am steppin it up this week to finish those. I'm also visiting the gym more. Finally. Had the membership long enough without using it haha So healthwise Im feeling so much better! Mentally doing great! Pretty soon I'll have to finish my resume and start job hunting in Denver! I cannot wait to move down there. It is just what I need:) Plus, all my besties are closer!

I never had an update/photo dump of all my AZ pictures...there are just too many. Maybe I'll get to that one day. Same with pictures from the other night. Too many to choose from. But let's just say, that night was exactly what I needed! I've never had so much fun in fort collins. That was quite the night with such amazing friends. Flashback to HHS haha And then the next day I had breakfast with my lovelies Rabananda and Nicola. A wonderful way to start a day!

So much wonderful things happening lately, that I cannot help but be happy. Talking to you was great too, and needed. :) Thank you for all that you said. Things will work out how they are supposed to. Whatever way that is...I guess we will find out when the time is right...

Well, I really should start on essay number two and stop procrastinating. My friend Libby is thinking I'm really going to town on an essay over here. But no...I am blogging haha Shhhh...don't tell.

Before I go, I feel that this old little song describes kind of how everything had been this last week. But Things are better, and I'm happy:) I am so excited for the weekend. Courtney, and Kam are back in town. Halloween. FUN! Lots to look foward to!




Tooooodles! <3

Hey, Thanks

Thank you for showing me your true colors. Thank you for showing me how much you really cared about my feelings. Thank you for hurting me more than any guy. Congratulations. It makes it that much easier to say goodbye to you.

I guess I am to partially blame. I knew deep down you would hurt me. And...I allowed it. I just didn't think you would go to such lengths. I realize now how much my feelings meant to you, and that hurts me the most. Even as a "friend", you had no consideration. None. And I was all but too supportive of you and did not receive it in return.

Not only am I going through some rough patches, but you just added to it. Maybe I needed that to temporarily forget about the other? Thanks for that I guess haha. All in all, I have been let down by what I hoped would be a significant person in my life. Whether it be relationship-wise or just a friendship. It's gone and I don't think I can trust myself with you anymore without being hurt. I do not deserve it. No one does.

So...fresh start for me? Yeah. I do know though, that I have the most Amazing and supportive friends. Im truly blessed! In the end, I have surrounded myself with people that honestly deserve to be in my life. Just as I am lucky to be allowed in theirs. Thank you guys for everything! You mean so much to me...

Well, cheers to a new start, with my wonderful family/friends:) I cannot wait for everything the future holds. I know everything works out for a reason.

Ps. This makes me laugh so hard. Do not know why haha

Careful Now

You'll hurt yourself. Careful now. You'll hurt someone else.

Relationships

Be careful with your heart. That is something that I haven't really done lately. I usually am the girl with all of the walls up. It's not that I don't want to be in a relationship, it's just that I think deep down I am afraid of getting hurt. But aren't we all? I think that is what relationships are about. Whether it is a romantic one or just a friendship. All come with the risk of getting hurt, but you don't know until you try.

Opening up to these can potentially lead to something great. Something that teaches you to care. Teaches you to hope. Challenges you. Pushes you to be a better person. Teaches you to love. So many more things can come out of it that may change your life. Even with the risk of getting hurt, I think the possibilities of all those positive outcomes are completely worth it. Even if it is something that ends up hurting you, you can learn from it. Become a better person from it.

I just am not sure where to draw the line I guess. The line between friendship and something more. A relationship that can hurt one day and make me completely happy the next. One where there is complete and brutal honesty. No matter how much it may hurt, I appreciate it so much. One that challenges me to push myself. I'm so grateful for what I've had, but just do not know where to go from here. I guess taking it one day at a time is best, but I always need to remember to still look out for my heart.

All I know...is that in the last 24 hrs, I realized how much I care about you. And I had such a happy 24 hours with you. We'll see what the future holds. But at the very least, I'm glad I have you in my life. Thank you.

Oh life

I'm so excited.



And I just can't hide it:)

Seriously, bring on 2009. It's gonna be great! Also, see you tomorrow Tempe. I cannot wait to hug my Kellybelly <3
Apparently this is her picture for how excited she is haha




And I'm equally as excited!

Just Perfectly Content

I've recently decided that I'm going to be addicted to this. I kept a diary when I was younger and never again wrote in journals after the age of 12. But now...I'm definitely into it. I mean, I can add pictures and everything! Now THAT'S a diary. E-diary ha ha

So the last 2 days have just been so wonderful. I'm really loving life right now. Not that I ever don't, but lately it has been pretty great. Seeing good friends lately and having fun has been so lovely! Last night my friends played a show at the Ogden and it was amazing to see them. It had been to long. It's weird to think I've known them for a few years now? Maybe 4? Lost track. Awhile. And they have always been great as far as checking in randomly to see how life is treating me even if I only get to see them but once a year. Love it. I love those friendships where if you cannot see a person for an extended amount of time, things are still exactly the same when you arrive at a crossroads again. Makes me happy. I mean, Craig is and always will be my scar twin! :) Anywho, ch-ch-ch-check out their new stuff. [www.myspace.com/chiodos]

Today was a lot of fun too. Got to hangout with my brother which doesn't happen nearly enough. He's the best. We took pictures of him and his car and had so much fun just being outdoors and in each others company. Then I went to dinner at Watercourse with my gal pals and said bye to Courtney before she leaves for tour. Love that lady!

BROADAMAN! <3





Then I got quality time with my puppy:) She's not really a puppy anymore but she's still as cute as one.




Well, enough with the updates...I'm off to go pack for another couple fun-filled days in Tempe with my sister and dad! I cannot wait. Apparently it's still 90 degrees out there?! ha ha Eek. Regardless, I love seeing my AZ family! Friday cannot come soon enough:)

Trying to stay awake in class

:)

So excited about tonight! I get to see my loves, courtney, derrick, craig and danny! Should be a really fun night. Cannot wait. Step one: to get through this class. lol

Ps. Just glanced around the classroom and about 75% of the class is either doing the "trying to stay awake head bob", texting on their phone, OR actually sleeping on their desk. Rough.

Anyways, it is my favorite season now!!! Can't get prettier in boulder than it is now. Now...I need to get into some haunted houses and corn mazes. Who is down?





Anyone has a free night should come hangout at the Ogden tonight!

Also, I'll be in AZ friday-saturday to see Kelly! Im so excited to see her! Best girl in my life haha We may even drive with Papa Geha to the Grand Canyon. :)

Have a lovely day everyone....

Sigh

Can't sleep...But I am listening to the Copeland (old AND new) and am pretty content.

Ever wonder why sometimes you can sleep and other times you can't? I always do. Story of my life. Don't quite understand it haha I guess until I do fall asleep I'll just keep youtubing Sigur Ros videos.

This one especially makes me so happy:




Can't wait to hangout with my loves tomorrow night! Ahhh Courtney is back in town and so are my boys!

Turning over a new leaf

This is a point in my life that I look foward to the most, when it does come about. The realization that I need and want to change a lot in my life for the better. No matter how minuscule. I'm so excited for what my future holds, and what I can potentially accomplish. I just need to realize that it needs to be taken one step at a time. I can be a bit impatient haha.

I'm trying to even organize my thoughts as to all I want to do so I guess the best way to begin is with a list? :)

1. Work OUT. I got a gym membership. step two...to actually get myself to go. Working out makes me feel so much better and energized and healthy! Nothing is better than that. I am so much more productive when I feel that way so in a roundabout way, I may get more homework/studying done;)

2. Eating healthier. I already eat pretty healthy for the most part, but I could do better. My stomach has been fairly angry at me lately so I need to cut back on some things.

3. Sleeping Habits. These need to be fixed. I should start a fairly regular sleep schedule cause sometimes mine is pretty messed up. When I eat well, work out and sleep well, my immune system pays me back immensely which my friends and family know is pretty important for me for a few heavy reasons lol ugh...

4. More study time. I feel like this semester I have slacked off...a lot, as far as studying goes. I'm out of my element! Im used to going to the same coffee shops for years at CU, but not living in Boulder has proved this to be harder than I thought. So instead of studying, I slack off. So, I started today by studying A LOT and plan on keeping it up. It's a good feeling to be confident in a class....

5. Apartment/Job hunt. I neeeeeed to find a place to live in either december or janurary. I'm thinking Denver! Unless people have ideas otherwise. I'm open to new things. I really want to try other places, but Denver just may be a stepping stone for the rest.

6. Travel. I want to go to EUROPE! If money permits. To do this, money must be saved. Let the saving games begin!

7. Build my Resume. This should go above 5 haha I really need to add/fix my resume for any serious jobs to take me.

8. Make sure my friends and family know everyday how much they truly mean to me. If I don't say it, know how much I appreciate all of you! You are the best things in my life xo

9. I know there is more, I just cannot think of it at this time. More to add!

So there it is. My list. :) Here we go!! I'm so excited....

One more thing: GO TO THIS PLEASE! It's for a great cause and will be a lot of fun!
