I haven't posted for a while. Haven't really had too much to say I suppose. Just been working and going to school. On friday night I went to Canada to see Dierks Bentley in concert with Amy! It was a lot of fun but I wish it was a little bit longer though. Then Saturday night Nathan, Matt & Chelsea came over and we watched scary movies all night pretty much!
One thing that I have been thinking a lot about lately is kids for some reason. Kids are very stressful to take care of and all the times that they push your buttons but the times when they make you laugh or just see in their eyes that they feel safe in your arms makes it all worth it. I know I want kids (adopted & biological) one day but not anytime soon. I love the time I get to spend with my nieces and nephews and thats enough for right now!
I miss my boys♥

Luciana, Delilah, Thomas, & Chad♥
So I haven't posted in a couple of days. On friday I went to IKEA with Cindy! I haven't seen her since Labor Day weekend. She wrote me a really great letter of recommendation for this scholarship I'm going to apply for. We had a good time even though it was a short time. We didn't buy anything at IKEA but we did buy food and it was really good! PIIZZA fresh out of the oven! Then the fire alarm went off but 3 minutes after it went off they came on the loud speaker saying it was a test! Couldn't you have told us that beforehand!! But anyways it was great seeing Cindy since she is at Grand Valley so I don't see her as much.
Then yesterday on Saturday I went to my sister Bridget's house in Grand Haven! Its about a 3 hour trip from my house and so it was an all day thing. We left about 730 or 8. We stopped at McDonald's for breakfast and I got a free med. fry from the monopoly! So now I'm going to try to get my places and try to win some money or something! So we arrived at Bridget's at about 11 and we stayed until 3 or so. It was a fun day. I love spending time with my family and I got to spend a little more time with my older brother Larry. It was great seeing Bridget and my nephews, I miss them a lot! Also, the food was really good of course lol. I love food as you can tell!
Overall, it was a really good day and later that night me and Amy went shopping. I bought a jacket and a cover up. Then we stayed at my house for a while just doing nothing. We made some goofy photos as well! I will share those some other time!
Let's just start off by saying that I'm major fans of Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie! I am in love with them pretty much. Everyone I know knows that! What's not to love about them? They are both great actors and have great movies. They are both humanitarians who has done so much good in the world. Brad has his Make it Right foundation http://www.makeitrightnola.org/ He is helping rebuild the lower ninth ward of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina hit. Angelina has been a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Ambassador since 2001. She has visited over 20 countries visting internally displaced persons. Together they have donated millions of dolars each year through the Jolie-Pitt Foundation. But probably their biggest endeavor they have taken on is becoming parents to six children.
I love the fact that these pictures show that after being together for 5 1/2 years that they are still very much in love. It's kind of funny how so many celebrity couples have been breaking up left and right lately but Brad & Angie are the ones in the tabloids each week saying they're going to break up. They seem to not pay attention to the tabloids and they don't care. It goes to show you that they seem to be in it for the long haul and are stronger than ever.
Okay enough of all this mushy crap! And yes I know I am a major dork but I really don't care! I should be writing two papers now but I always seem to get distracted.
Today I woke up about 12 like always:) but today I woke up because of my dream that I had. The dream was about me getting shot 3 times in my backyard and I was still running around trying to get away even though I was shot 3 times! I don't know who the person was who shot me, some black guy. I got shot in the arm and when I woke up my arm hurt real bad. I thought it was so weird.
So last night I watched Reviving Ophelia on lifetime. It was a decent movie I suppose for a lifetime movie. The movie was based on the book Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls by Mary Pipher. I've never read the book but it's on my list.
Someone who beats up there significant other because they have anger issues or have the genetic factor of their parents being abusive is NOT okay in my book. Now usually it's men who beat up women which is mostly true but after watching Teen Mom it could also be women beating up men. When women are in a abusive relationship, they usually blame themselves for their partner's outburst on them! And this is not okay and it never will be okay. It's never your fault that a man hits you. Just because you might of made him mad does not justify what he did was okay. Well, I could go on forever talking about this but I will stop where I am at.
Today and well always people never cease to amaze me. I don't get people at all especially people who are close to me. That's why I can never trust anyone and I don't depend on people anymore. I have stopped doing that when I was little when people always let me down. Even if it was a little thing. Nothing is ever absolute.
Okay, I'm giving this a go! My friends started a blog and I didn't even think I would start one too. Maybe this can be a place where I can vent about anything I am feeling at any moment. As of right now I have a lot of things on my mind but right now I'm just going to go with who I am.
I'm Betsy, I'm 20 years old about to be 21 in a month! I go to college to study Criminal Justice and I'm undecided on what I'm going to be. I can be outgoing but I can be shy around people I don't know. I love my family and friends. I don't trust a lot of people and I guess I can be well guarded around people I just meet. I love to read books and my goal for the year is to read 25 books and I'm only on book 17! I work at China Gate Restaurant and have been for like 6 years. I'm weird but who isn't? I love to watch movies and listen to music. I've even consider being a movie critic because I always seemed to criticize movies.
Okay that's it for now.
Oh yeah I miss Up North terribly!
