weekend Aug. 14th -15 and Aug 21st 22nd

Hi everyone,
I have been not my self the last few weeks, so getting on here and blogging was something I just could not do. I am happy to say that, I think I can feel the old Charissa coming back.
Well Aug 14th-15th I needs some much Charissa time way from school, and everything else, but I needed my mom and dad. So the three of us took a trip to Glacier Park, if you have not been there you need to it is absolutely amazing. We stayed at a adorable little hotel, in Hungry horse. We also went on some bumper boats and go carts, it was fun just letting loose and getting away for a few. I have the best parents.
This weekend, a little more stressful, lots of Lesley homework due in both classes. My dad had his knee surgery again. He had the knee surgery in March and it had some complications, like the stitches came undone. When that happened he had to go back in and have it scraped and cleaned. I personally feel an infection started then, and his knee became loose. Well about 6 months later and after watching dad in so much pain, and depressed. The doctor had him go in again and this time they found that he had a form of staph infection in his knee as well as it was loose. He has a spacer in now and that allows him to walk (very little). He will have surgery in 6 weeks to replace the knee.
I hope you guys had a great couple of weeks!!!!

August 7-8

Hello everyone, this weekend is a bit boring to blog about. It was filled with Birthday parties however. On Friday, my niece Piper came with me to my parents house in Boulder, Mt. She is my partner in crime. We went for a 4 wheeler ride. We also went horseback riding. She is quite the kid..lol I have her singing "Fishing in the dark" it is the cutest thing I have ever seen. My Dad's party was Saturday, we had family over. BBQ ed and had b-day cake. It was great, and just what my dad needed. He had a a rough week. He had to have a bone scan to see what is causing him trouble in his knee replacement. The results came back not as good as we would of liked. He has an infection and he will have to have it removed, a temp knee added that has antibiotics and then a total knee replacement again.
On Sunday, we had a B-day party for my cousin Jeff. It was also lots of fun. It is always good to get together with friend and family. Spent the evening with a guy I have been seeing. He treats me like a queen, I am just not used to it..lol
Well I hope you all had a great weekend, and a super week!!!

July 31st - August 1st

Well tis weekend, I went to Great Falls Mt. for my cousin's wedding, it was lots fun. Saw people that I have not seen in along time. After the wedding reception, I went to the Montana State Fair for a few, and caught a horse race. Not a big fan of horse races, the only race I saw the horse i picked broke her leg. so needless to say i am still not a big fan of horse races. I did talk my mom into going on a carnivl ride with me. Which was a hoot. She was paniking, telling me she will never talk to me again. lol..
Sunday, I drove back to Butte to get some school work done to find out my modem on my internet is not working and I have to wait till Wednesday to fix it. So I am doing school work at my couisn with two little girls who want all my attention, I am kind of worried about the outcome of these classes.

July 23rd -25th

Well Greetings,
This has been a better week than last week. I live in Butte Montana, for those those of you that didn't know. This is a huge weekend in Butte. It is Evil Knievel Days. It is always fun to walk around watch all the stunt shows and mingle with people you have not seen in years.
On Friday night, Pete, Jeff, meg and the girls went and watched the bike parade and then watch Keith Saylors stunts as well as Stuntman Spanky Spangle jump off the 8 story building. It was fun!

And yes for those of you that read last weeks blog will realize that I did hang out with Pete. Pete and I broke up last week. However, we have been friends forever and dont want to loose that so we have made great attempts to remain that way. This was out first time hanging out since that and it went great.

On Saturday, I took my niece to see the jets that will fly over the big show that night, She got to sit up on one with the pilot and where the helmet. She is such a doll. We then took her up to see the basketball stunts at Evil days, they are called aurdunks, they were on "America's Got Talent" It was awesome!!! Piper, then wanted to ride the mechanical bull, she is 3 in case you dont know. It was sooo cute. she is quite the dare devil herself. She is definalty Aunt Charissa's pride and joy!!!

Hope your weekend was AWESOME!

July 17th -18th

Well hello,
This has not been the best weekend of my life. I did do a lot and I am thankful for my family who were there for me.
First off I broke up with my boyfriend that I have been dating for a year. It has been coming for some time now and it was only a matter of time before it was going to happen. I am still good friends with him, and will always love him. In fact we went for a picnic today.
I spent the weekend with my parents, and went to a rodeo in Three Forks Montana. I also went to Bannick Days near Dillon, Montana. It was nice to get out and get my mond off things.
Well I hope your weekend was good.

Summer Days July 9th-July 11th

Well hello, This weekend I had class for Lesley. Therefore, not a overly exciting weekend. Friday night i went to Pete's brother and sister-in-law's house for dinner and games. We ended up playing a new version of Monoloply, it was a blast, long but fun. I was kicking butt for most of the game, people were dropping off, it ended up being Pete, Dylan, and mysellf when we finally called the game at 11pm. The National Folk Festival was in town but it is crazy so I did not parttake in any folky fun..lol
Saturday, had class till 5ish. Went to dinner with Dylan and Pete. Then we decided to relive our youth and went on some rides at the carnival that was in town. It was a blast! I have not rode those thing in like at least 10 years. I was a bit woozey and felt that the ground was moving, but had fun anyways.
Sunday, had class again, it was way boring, did not get anything out of it at all. However, we did get out early like 3ish and some cohorts and myslef went for a cocktail (or two ;D )
Ended the weekend snuggling with the one you love watching a movie!!!
That was the weekend, Hope you all had fun!!!!

Well this is my first post on my blogger.
I am going to post about my fourth of July weekend. I hope you all had a great weekend. First I am from Butte Montana, and we do things a bit differently here..lol Our city firework display is always on the 3rd. This makes for a two day celebration. If you have ever been to Butte you know that this town likes to celebrate. I live in a grand location for fireworks. I had family and friends over to my house to have muchies, chat and enjoy the big show. On the forth, I picked up Pete and we met friends and family at the parade route to enjoy this years big Independence Day parade. I then went to my aunt and uncles who live south of Butte. Enjoyed some time watching my two beautiful neices Piper and Paige play in there pool. We had a awesome BBQ, YUMMY!!!!! I also, took my first gopher, it was soooooo exciting. I felt a little bad for the gopher, I am sure he had a family, but it wasa rush. I just now got into target practicing, thanks to pete and his family. I have always been a outdoor type of girl, i have horses and love to be out on the water. Well that is my weekend! I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July!
