Good news will come your way.

I am so happy to say the second house approved our offer and we're now starting the home buying process. So exciting {and scary!} I've spent a large amount of time researching renovations for our home. Hey, a girl can dream! Here's my collection of thoughts and a few of my favorites:

I just know she is loving it on the inside.

Oh Target! Can we be besties?

After I finished my 8 hour dental hygiene exam, I headed over to Target for some healthy retail therapy. I realized that I love the clearance racks, like let's get married and make small clearance babies together love.
I found this super cute gray jacket for 6$ and this light pink ruffled shirt for 7$. SCORE! So who cares if I pass my exam! The important thing is I look good.

Just grin & bear it.

This is my big week! I have my written and clinical exam coming up and I couldn't be more stressed. I think I've lost at least 5 pounds in tears.

What am I up to?

BORING stuff! Day 3 of of this book! Anatomy, embryology, histology, biochemistry, and nutrition.....yuck! After next week, i never want to see a test ever again!

Ch-ch-ch-ch Changes

I haven't really had a whole lot to blog about lately.
It's either study, school projects, work or sleep.
The only fun thing I've been doing lately is house hunting.

We finally found a place and we're moving in this weekend!
I'll update later.

I forgot to take a picture of the house, whoops!

I'm so excited to move in with these girls


Kelsey is my DH girlfriend haha! I love this girl to death!


SPOILER ALERT: boring stuff

This term has been really hard on me. We've had a lot of projects to do on top of everything else. But it's coming to an end soon.
I'm coming to my last year at school and it can't come sooner!
I'm taking two of my dental hygiene tests this summer and then I take two more in December.
After December, it's easy street. I plan to be back in Arizona almost every weekend.
To prepare for these tests, some friends and I have been going to a weekly study group.
As you can see, this is serious business.

In a town that's cold and grey, we will have a sunny day

I am so thankful to have my little car.
It keeps me warm on cold days.

Soon it will be sunny again and I'll be in LA with this girl

And it Just Keeps Coming.....

I would be lying if I said I didn't love it.



I'd also be lying if I said I wasn't concerned about how I'm getting to work in the morning.

House Hunters: Option Deux

The color is a little bright, I know.



Here's the view peaking into the front door a few days before we actually had the tour because house hunting is that intense.


This house holds 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and is on the low end of our budget. (major plus for a cheap college student!)

Here's a look at the first room. Oh look, a walk in closet.


Nooooopppe. It's the smallest closet ever built. All my enthusiasm for this house was shot down.


Here's the second bedroom with a better closet. I'm actually in love with the mirrors. So were the builders.


The bathroom is pretty good size, bigger than some of the others we've seen.


Again with the mirrors...here's the closet just as you walk in.


Here's the master closet....so nice!


And the master bathroom


I love the flooring in the kitchen and the new appliances.



You can't tell but to the left are two mirrored doors. Just in case you want to see how good you look when you cook.


Here's the view outside. The lawn is in really good condition.


A tour wouldn't be complete without me :)

House Hunters:Klamath Falls

Option One:


You're in love right now, I know.
This house is nice. It's a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath in a new community.



I love all the upgrages in the kitchen butttt I wish there was more cupboard/counter space.* It does have a walk in pantry which is amazing.


1st bedroom(PS I didn't take any shots of the master, sorry!)


2nd bedroom

I love the little built in nook under the window

Here are the closets. They're about the same size in both rooms. And for what we'd be paying for this place, I think we definatly should get a little more room :(


Hall bathroom

Again, very little cuboard/counter space :(

Laundry Room

I {LOVE} that there is a separate laundry room

And here's cute little me about to leave for house hunting.




*(Honestly, if you could see the apartment I live in now, you would know I have no room to complain about anything!)

I {love} my car

I filled my tank one week ago.

Thank you! Thank you!
For helping me save money

Let's Talk Makeup

Someone please tell me Sephora is in heaven. I should be going to AA (addicts anonymous) meetings. My entrance speech would be something like this "Hi, my name is Ashley (hi Ashley) and I'm addicted to makeup. I'm not willing to stop, so don't ask. But if you want to try to sponsor me, we should befriend."


So if anyone else has an addiction, come forward. Our friendship was decided in the preexistence.

Okay, back to the reason why we're here today; Mascara.
I love, love trying out new and amazing products. That's why when I saw this, LOVE!
Here's a quick run down of the products included in the love bundle:
Anastasia
Bare Escentuals
Tarte
Too Faced
Sephora
Smashbox
Korres
Stila
Lancome
Benefit
Duwop

So my plan is to try out each one and figure out which one to keep buying. Or at least, that's the justification behind it. Am I right, or amiright?

So what's yer opinion? Which ones have you tried and what's your favorite?
SPEAK UP! THIS IS IMPORTANT STOOF!

Say hello to Ms. Mercy Jacqueline Batemen!

Rachel and Brett had their adorable baby yesterday at 11:06 PM
She is 7lbs 13oz of pure cuteness!

The happy parents :)

I can't wait to meet her!
I promise I'll have more pictures, since I know everyone is already in love.

Every time I wear these shoes I can't help but think of you.

Happy Birthday Michelle!

I miss going out to lunch &
hanging out with friends.

I miss being "homeless" together &
Laughing at "hairy faces"

I miss your happy personality &
living down the street.


I miss you, Chelle!
I finish school in 16 months &
you'd better believe I'm booking my flight to Lake Charles, LA!

There's a puppy shaped hole in my heart.

Is he not the cutest thing you've ever seen?

Okay, okay I'll stop writing about the puppy I don't have!
So here's an Update:
I finished my first week of school. Whew!
With only 10 more to go (but who's counting!)
I had my first patient of the school year yesterday and I am still ALIVE!!
(for the dental hygienists that read my blog: We are still doing hand instruments :( but they are going to introduce a few new ones later this term and also the ULTRASONIC!! Ohhhh I can't wait! Then maybe my cleanings won't be THREE hours long!)
I started work at school and I really like it.
I am still low in the money department so I'm applying for another job on Monday.
Cross your fingers!

Hi Ashley, welcome back to hell........

Ya, I just threw up.
This last weekend my mom and I drove the 16 HOURS from Mesa to Oregon.
We stopped in LA on our way there and we got to see Lindsey and her Animal farm.
I am so in love with Cat Winslet. Um hi, I have Cat Nip in the trunk!!!


So driving the 10 hours to Oregon was fun...
Mom and Clyde stopped at EVERY fruit and nut stand
and we got lost finding somewhere* to eat.
(something that fit the criteria: safe, sit down and steak)
Needless to say, it took FOREVER!
(Anyone remember our trip to Cancun? Anyone? It was like that.)

I've been back for two days. I spent the entire first day with this:
(this is just a glimpse)
KILL ME!
I'm just so excited to start this year.
All the studying and late nights, crying over grades. Oh I can't wait!!!
Suddenly, I'm not so hungry for Acura cake.

I pledge to only force my religion on those who refuse to accept it.

Dear Lindsey & whom it may concern

I'm having a hard time blogging :(
I don't have a camera or the time.....or the motivation.
Actually, no motivation.
