The last week has been a little hectic. So it's time for a....
Richard had an AMAZING time at PlayList Live. He met up with a lot of really cool YouTubers and made some awesome business connections for himself. His viewers have grown drastically and well, things are just really looking up on that right now. One of his videos is below, check out his channel... You know you want to and well, I want you to as well.
Next, we will talk about my past week... So on Friday I had my last final and I have to say I am surprised I got a high C on the test, which means I passed the class :) yay me. Also on Friday I had a day with my nephews, Nolan and Jake.
They were super adorable. We went and got some ice cream at the mall and then came back to play in the sunshine with Coco... They all got a little worn out and we ended up inside watching Pokemon, Ninjago and I think some other shows. Here's Coco sleeping with her owl after the boys wore her out. She did surprisingly well with them, but she still gets over excited easily and a little cranky.
Then, Coco and I took of for my parents house for the night. This was her first time using her new bag instead of the kennel and well, she was quite entertaining.
She would press her nose up against the mesh so she could sleep and ended up looking like this. I carefully snapped a picture while driving because this was just too funny.
I was kind of nervous about her with all the dogs because my parents have eight of them.... She was one of the pack by the time we left.
While staying at my parents I spent some time with my sister Megan, her husband Sam and their adorable kids Lexie and Avery. It's always good to see them even if Lex can be a little brat. But, she actually was nice this weekend, gave me kisses and everything. Below is Avery in his super cute sunglasses getting ready to go out shopping with us. He is just a little chunky stud and I love him. I will admit, by the time I left there, my arms felt like they had been given a workout from holding him.
Also went to Sweet Tomatoes with my parents and then to see The Hunger Games. I loved it. Loved, loved, loved it. It was amazing. I am only disappointed they didn't spend so much time on the relationship development but seeing the game makers perspective was kind of cool. It is crazy to me how movies are made from books. I guess I just find it interesting the details I think are important compared to what the producer thinks is important. They did an awesome job casting it. I'll be honest, I liked it so much that I went to see it again when Richard got home :) he liked it as well and the second time I was able to actually watch the movie without thinking about all the things they changed from the book.
Then, on Monday I decided to go get a tattoo. I have a slight obsession with them. This is one I have wanted for awhile and means many things to me. "By your side I'll stay forever", my parents, my husband, my siblings, everyone in my life that is important to me fit with this tattoo. I've had a lot of people flake out on me and this is just a reminder of all the ones who have stayed by me through everything.
My other three all have meaning as well. On my ankle I have the Christian fish. One shoulder says beautiful mess in French. The other shoulder has a bird feather with six birds coming out of it, one for each sibling. I've gotten a new tattoo every year since I was 19. They all mean something important to me and I think I only have a few more I want, but I really don't know yet.
My final weekend activity was making some silk dyed chocolate filled blown eggs. Yeah, the name in itself is a mouthful. They are going to be Easter presents for my nieces and nephews. What kid doesn't love chocolate?
I'll get the tutorial up soon, and am also working on making a YouTube channel so I can put it on there... But the minimal directions are this.
First you need to blow out the eggs, ie get rid of the actual egg so all you have is the shell. Then boil that in vinegar water to clean it out a little. I also baked mine to help clean them even more. Then wrap them in silk and cotton and boil them in vinegar and water again. Fill them with chocolate or even just use them as decorations, but there you have them. Again, I'll do a full tutorial later .
Anyways, I think that is the full update for now. Oh wait, tomorrow we have another roommate moving in, so things might be a little hectic again, I'll let you know next update. Remember, check out Richards YouTubechannel... And subscribe to him. :) and watch this collaboration video he got to do.
So it's been a really busy week so far. Today I had at final at 8am...Seriously, eight in the morning!! It was in my Linguistics class and I actually feel like it went really well. Then I turned in my business writing paper. That's two finals down... Next one isn't until Friday. It's in Earth Science and shouldn't be too bad.
Tomorrow the hubby leaves for Playlist Live in Orlando. Check out his YouTube page, entrebizz, for updates on that and also his meeting with the LA Film School. I went to Target tonight to make him a little gift of everything he would forget unless I got it for him... Included: swim trunks, sunscreen, hair gel... Ya know, some of the essentials. Plus some candy, which he immediately ate.
Him leaving is gonna suck for a week. I have no clue what I am going to do the whole time. Though, this weekend I am going to stay at my parents house for a night and then going to see the Hunger Games with them. I am so excited! Read the books and then see the movie.
This weekend I am going to try to get a new tutorial up, cork board iPad case. It will be similar to the one I discussed in a previous post, but with my little touches:)
Until then, stay classy.
So not much exciting has been going on for us. Yesterday was super crappy and we lost a good friend, but oh well... People change and there is nothing you can do about that. It's just really sad to me to see this kind of thing happen. But, I don't want to talk about sad things so it's time for a....
This coming week is huge for us. There is just a crazy amount of stuff going on. Tonight the hubby and I are going to see 21 Jump Street. We will let you know how that one is. But either way, Channing Tatum is in it so I'll be happy.
Then tomorrow we are leaving to the beach to hang out with some friends and celebrate St Patricks Day :)
Monday starts finals week!!!! Ugh. So I have one final on Tuesday at 8am. Who does that? Ridiculous. Then I have to have a paper turned in that day by 2. It's almost done so I am not worried about that. Next final isn't until Friday. So I get the whole week to basically relax.
But, two other important things are getting ready to happen. Richard leaves on Wednesday for Playlist Live. If you don't know what that is, check their website. It's a YouTube convention in Florida so hopefully he will have a lot of fun. He also has a meeting with an LA Film School... All really exciting things for him.
So my coming week isnt as cool. Finals. But then, Friday is the most important thing since Harry Potter.... The Hunger Games! I cannot even tell you how excited I am. Oh man it is going to be amazing. I hope everyone goes to see it.

Once Richard gets home from Orlando and Los Angeles it's spring break time. We aren't quite sure what we are doing yet, but probably a little time at the beach. Anyone have some good suggestions?
Remember tomorrow is a new tutorial. :) so I'll chat with you all then.
