So for those of you who don't watch the bachelor, well don't start. This was my first season and I am devastated. UGH! Jason, the bachelor, was down to two girls. Melissa, who is a texas girl, used to be a DCC (Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader), the most bubbly goofy girl ever, and the one who made him soooo happy. Then there's Molly. She was head over heels for him, but we all thought she had a dark side. Well Melissa won! Yay! THEN, the after show came on & it was supposed to be a ton of drama. He broke up his engagement with Melissa and five minutes later brought Molly on and told her he was still in love with her. AND they were kissing, right after he broke up his engagement! MANWHORE?!?!? i think so. So now, we (me, chelsea, brooke, ayrika, ashley, melissa, katie, steph, & rhonda) ALL hate him.
Makes me so sad for poor Melissa. He proposed to her on national tv and broke up with her on national tv. You're probably thinking oh alyssa....
Sorry! we're addicted to this show and after knowing the background of Melissa, and Jason too, it's heartbreaking. Maybe Melissa will be the new Bachelorette! I'm going to bed. That ruined my night! haha

This week...
I forgot to mention some stuff in my post yesterday. Yes, can you believe it? Two posts in two days from me. Rare event!
Anyways, Ayrika & Chelsea wrote a little about how they are going to Haiti this summer. Well, I am too!! This will be my third trip to Haiti. I miss it so much and I really feel like I need a good spiritual boost. I go to Antioch and it's such an emotional mess there. One week we're looking for a preacher, the next week we have one in mind, and then the next week they aren't coming anymore. I understand the reasonings, but it's frustrating! So I'm going to Port-au-Prince Haiti with New Hope christian church. They have a group of high schoolers, a couple college kids, and some adults too. It's pretty even in ages. It's weird not knowing very many of the people but I'm not alone. There's a little BR group going. Me, Chelsea Miller, Brooke Lengacher, Stephanie Graber, & Ayrika Lengacher. I know ayrika is from ND, but we say we adopted her!
Next business... The Bachelor. haha I used to make so much fun of the girls in high school because they would miss the bachelor night for ball games and such. Then they would come to school and fight over who got to take home the recorded tape first. I was like girls, you're not going to die. Well, now I love it! I wouldn't fight over a tape, but I don't like missing episodes. BTW, Melissa is going to win for sure. We're like a little Melissa fan club on Monday nights at Chelsea's house. It's nice to get together with the girls and not think about school, talk about the most random of things, and eat lots of cheesecake or whatever sweets we can get into!
Last thing... I started my new job today. I'm working as a pharmacy tech, like normal. That's pretty much the story of my life besides my lifeguarding at Camp Illiana. Anyways, I started at Williams Brothers in washington. I'm training and just figuring out the organization and flow of their work. I did pretty well today actually. It helps a lot having background with medication names and an understanding of what is going on.
Well i'm going to get back to the Purdue game that's on now and get ready for American Idol!!! =] Have a great week. Two posts in two days allows me to not post for like a month! haha jk!

2009 thus far..
I feel so bad because I've had like 3 people say, "Alyssa,!!! you need to update your blog. You never write on it!" I'm just the worlds biggest procrastinator & I always say I'll do it later. I have pictures! =]
Yea... see how good I am at snowboarding.. NOT! good picture opportunities!
Derrick, me, Clay, Gabe, Tye, Meredith, Garrett, & his new gf Amanda, & Derek Clidienst all went skiing a couple weekends ago. Derek tried to teach us girls how to snowboard. I feel sorry for the guy, because I am HORRIBLE! I didn't really try too hard though. I gave up after one trip down the bunny slope. I probably could've got the hang of it eventually.
Derrick & I at paoli peaks.. taking a little break.
Yea... see how good I am at snowboarding.. NOT! good picture opportunities!I guess my life has been consumed with school, family, my boy, & basketball games. I got a 98% on my physics test, I'm still on an emotional high about that one!! Yesterday was Valentine's day, obviously. Derrick & I went to Terre Haute for a day of shopping. I haven't been up there in ages. I got to Derricks house & he had something for me.. =]
I was super excited... Sad to say it, but yep, i'm "smitten". I had to steal Sarah Walton's word. haha We always tease her saying she's a smitten kitten! She's def happy about her relationship! I was excited to see not only a dozen roses but there were daisies & carnations & more.. I definitely appreciate Derrick. I learn more and more everyday about him & i know he's kind of person I hope to marry. & yes, that's my first roses from a boy! haha.. Silly, i know, but completely worth the wait now that it's from him! AND knowing that he truly has meaning behind it, not just for the occasion. So I took a lot of pics because I have some flower setting on my camera & I don't really get many chances to just go take pictures of flowers! haha
LOVE THEM! Mom told Jason they were from her "other man". He said, "Cool, glad he has money to waste." I said "Hey you shutup, that's not funny!" He thought he was just too funny...
So I guess this is enough for right now.. I need to get to bed... Chelsa, Ryan, & Brycen... you're still in my prayers! Hope everyone has a great week!

Derrick's Birthday
I'm so disappointed in myself. I'm not a very faithful blogger! I just read them. =[ Anyways, I had some new pictures, so it's a worthy time to post. Sunday was Derrick's 23rd birthday. I keep telling him that he's getting old and making me feel really young! =]
Derrick and I after dinner. Getting ready to head out into the Snow..
His face turned as red as the hat!! It was pretty funny. He said he expected it though.
Well I better head to class. This presidential stuff is just too much for me today.
Derrick and I initially were supposed to go out to eat with Kev and Sarah Sunday night. Sarah ended up having to work and I wanted to have a surprise dinner. Derrick had asked if it would just be us four and I said, "Kev is coming for sure, but Sarah may have to work and doesn't know if she'll be back in time." So Derrick calls me and tells me sunday afternoon that he was going to go hunting until dark and wanted to cancel his birthday dinner. I was soooo upset i said, "DERRICK! You're ruining your surprise!" What surprise?? I had to tell him that he just couldn't geese hunt all night because all of our friends were coming to eat too. So the boys decided to pack up a little bit early and we went to eat at 7. Kinda late, but it was still yummy and we had a lot of fun!

Everything...
Christmas break. This will be an all inclusive post, i guess. I don't even know where to start! Christmas was good. I knew everything I was getting since I picked it all out, EXCEPT my mom got me a pink Browning car decal. It's like the outline of a deer head. Most of you probably wont even know what that is except Desiree!=] Anyways, mom said, "Wow, the only thing she's excited about is her sticker that cost 6 dollars!" haha. Well yea, because I didn't know I was getting that! I feel like an expert in high school basketball and college & professional football. I've watched enough sports for the next half a year! I even went to my first IU basketball game. My dad got free tickets and gave them to me & Derrick. The poor boy had worked 10 hours that day, but I knew if I didn't tell him then he would be mad the next day!
Oh yea, the best thing so far! My sister decided she wanted to color her hair a little darker. I don't really know why. So I told her I would do it if she bought the color. We went to pick some out and I liked this one color, but she insisted it was no different than what she already had. I said whatever, don't listen to me, do what you want! So that's exactly what she did. Well, she didn't listen to me when I said you only need to keep this in for 5 more minutes either! hahahaha.. oh gosh. She ended up with BLACK hair. hahaha. The next day consisted of washing her hair 15 times with Tide Laundry detergent. Then we let it soak in & wrapped her head in Suran wrap! haha Put the hair dryer on it to pull the color out. It's still rough but looks a lot better.
Oh yea, I got a ring for christmas from derrick. It's super cute and he's so thoughtful. It's a ruby heart, my birthstone, with diamonds around it. =] I was surprised and very pleased!
The last thing... I am going to VU this semester so I can get away from Purdue, and then I will most likely be going to IUPUI in the fall. Well I must get a job since I'm staying home and still have to pay my lease at Purdue. So I'm going to work at Williams Brothers as a pharmacy technician. Suitable since I have experience with pre-pharm school & working in the hospital pharmacy. I had to go take a drug test. I assumed it would be hair but of course it was urine. Well let me tell you, I can't pee under pressure. So after three tries I got that accomplished. That was last monday. The pharmacist called me yesterday and I was like yes, i'm going to get to start soon. NO! The drug test people messed it up, and I had to go take it again. I was sooo frustrated. I wanted to say, do you realize I had to go 3 times!? Now I have to wait another week until I get a reply.
Well, that's plenty for now. I just felt like I haven't posted in ages and i'm sitting at home doing nothing right now. Hope everyone is having a great year so far. I'm looking forward to some really great thing happening and changing in my life this year! Hope that's the same for you!

Blog Awards- Addictions!
Desiree Knepp tagged me in her post a few days ago. I'm just a little behind, like usual, at getting mine posted! =] We don't really know each other extremely well, except for the fact that she's good friends with my cousing Abby and she worked for my mom right after passing her RN boards! =] We also discovered we both liked hunting.
Here's the rules!
1. You have to pass it on to 5 other fabulous bloggers in a post.
2. You have to list 5 of your fabulous addictions in the post.
3. You must copy and paste the rules and the instructions below in the post.Instructions: On your post of receiving this award, make sure you include the person that gave you the award and link it back to them.
First I will pass it on to:
Chelsea Miller
Brittany Miller
Ashley Rawley
My sister, Kirsten
&&& Lauren Beasley
My addictions!
1. I love to be involved in sports! I never took an extreme amount of interest in the "normal" sports at Barr-Reeve, like basketball and volleyball. I loved them when I was younger and I really wish I would've stuck with them in high school. I probably could've been pretty decent at them! I wish anyway! I love cheerleading and dancing. It was 1. a way to get all my energy out & 2. show my tumbling background without competing. I also liked Tennis & cross country, only because running kept me in awesome shape! ha. It's really not that fun!
2. I am addicted to gymnastics. I'm not as good as I used to be, but it's still a blast. I coached gymnastics at Lafayette and loved teaching the little girls and seeing them grow in their abilities. I remember telling Derrick one time that I was sooo stressed, so I was going to the gym to tumble. He's like what? I don't see anything wrong with that! He likes to go play softball every thursday during the summer, it's a break from work I guess!
3. I'm addicted to M&M's. Yum! I'm sitting here eating Green & Red christmas M&M's and loving it! Well actually it's any kind of chocolate in general. Amazing!
4. I love my family and boyfriend. They're awesome, mom's not so great when she's hounding me about school BUT besides that!!! =] Kirsten and Kalen are the funnest kids ever sometimes. They're mean but actually have a good heart..... somewhere in there, deep, deep in there. Derrick is the greatest. He's changed so much since we started dating a year & a half ago and it's unreal. From the somewhat crazy guy he used to be, to the guy that now loves to be with me and makes sure his friends know that I'm part of him now too. He still has his guy nights, but for the most part I am always right next to him.
5. I'm addicted to the falling price of gas!!!!! It's awesome. Very silly, but so awesome. I drive so much and I love paying less than 20 bucks again! The other day I didn't think about it and went into the gas station and said I just need 20 in gas. I started pumping and thought "Oh shoot!!! That's probably too much. AAhhh Don't Overflow!!!" =] I calculated it out and it was only 20 cents over, so I just topped it off! =]
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope it's great and you have an awesome time with your family.

Purdue vs Duke
I know, I know, they killed us. BUT i still had so much fun! I didn't even have a ticket & hadn't planned on getting one. I just happened to mention something about the game being that night to my friend that's in my Physics class, and he said I was just talking to a girl who wants to sell her ticket! She only wanted $30! Is she crazy? People were selling these tickets online for over $100. I could've bought it and made AT LEAST a $50 profit, BUT I love Purdue basketball. I had a test at 8 & the game started at 9. I had my friend save me a seat. Well, of course she gets one in the section that is full and you have to have a wristband to get into. The people sitting there had been camping out since noon the day before the game. Remind you, it snowed that day and then the wind is unreal up here, & it gets super cold during the day, let alone at night! Well I was bad & I slid under the railing when no annoying gate watchers were looking! haha. DON'T TELL SANTA! Here's a few pictures from the disappointing but fun night!
Me & Gabby...
Purdue vs Duke! =]
