My goal in taking this picture above was to make it look as awesome as Sara and Casey’s food pictures. I took about 5 and none of them even came close to the awesomeness of theirs… but whatever. IS IT THE FORK? DOES IT RUIN IT?

 

No night would be complete without our favorite juices: strawberry and Peach- i ran over to Taste of Bosnia last week and got hooked up with the same juice we have in Kosova!

Murder of a Millionaire

IMG_4071

My roomates Katuschka and Catherine Rock.

They came up with the idea to have a Murder Mystery Date night. We tried for a few weeks but the date that would work just happened to be Friday the 13th. FREAKY.

So the theme was a cocktail party at the reading of the Will of the Late Rick Rochester. Rick was my uncle, I was Faith and Keith was Jon... my BABY DADDY!

I love my future home.

 PORTERDALE

I seriously can not wait until i get to move to porterdale.

A day like today makes it even harder to wait these next 4 months.

It is so beautiful outside. We've got the windows open and the breeze & sound of the river are so peaceful.

My brother hooked Keith and I up with some great couches... all they needed were slip covers to cover up the BLUE color!

Keith searched and with failure were were worried that we would never find a size to fit. Out of the blue his aunt said that she had two and to our luck they fit perfectly! So we got 2 free couches and 2 free slip covers AHHHHHHHHHH

Sadie has already made her home on the smaller of the two ..

Picture 010

They are always filming cool movies in the porterdale area... Rob Zombie is about to move into the lofts while they film a new movie he will be in.

personality

For my organizational behavior class i had to take a personality test.. here are my results.. how do you think i compare?

 

 

 

BUILDER/negotiator

About Your Personality Type

You tend to be traditional. Home, family, job and community are all central to you. You like being firmly embedded in your social and business groups and you feel deeply responsible for just about everyone around you. You can be fiercely protective of those you love.
You are skilled at managing people. You are sympathetic and cooperative; you are also hard working and display a good deal of caution and common sense. And you can be very patient. So you can complete detailed, painstaking jobs more easily than most people.
You enjoy building social relationships. You have excellent verbal and people skills. You are talented at achieving solutions to complex problems so that all involved feel fulfilled. You have a hard headed too. You tend to respect rules, schedules and routines.
You also see the big picture, have a fine imagination and can be remarkably intuitive. You like to play with ideas and examine the meaning of life. And because you have a genuine sense of community, you seek projects that enable you to contribute to a more stable world.

Builder primary traits

  • Traditional
  • Social
  • Loyal
  • Dependable
  • Patient
  • Community oriented
  • Orderly

Negotiator secondary traits

  • Sees the big picture
  • Imaginative
  • Intuitive
  • Verbal skills
  • Empathetic
  • Trusting
  • Introspective

In Love and Relationships

You are relaxed and easy to be with, so you attract a range of friends and admirers. But you are picky. You are attracted to those who share your values; moral fiber in a partner is important to you. You also admire those who respect rules, schedules, and traditions. And you particularly admire those who have a sense of social responsibility--who spend their time and money on events that are charitable or strengthen family, business or the community ties. You see the big picture and see way down the road; so you like to prepare for the future. And although you enjoy people who play with ideas, your "true love" must complement you. You admire those who are direct, analytical, authentic and assertive and can enjoy your orderly and compassionate nature.

Relating to others

You are somewhat stoical. You believe that difficulties are inevitable. With this practical attitude, coupled with your dependable, cooperative and "can-do" spirit, you often become a central and effective player in your social and business networks. You are generally calm and entertaining, too, and always dedicated and reliable. And with your imagination and people skills, just about everybody likes you.

Things to be aware of

  • You can be so modest and self effacing that some are likely to regard you as a door mat. Speak up and defend yourself.
  • You can be overly critical of others.
  • Your caution can jeopardize your curiosity.

Spark Factor

You tend to naturally gravitate to the BUILDER/directors.
