Song of the day!

I have been listening to his artist the past few days, I love him. He is very chill and relaxing!
I particularly like this song.

Tub time

2012-01-05T18:28:00.006-07:00

The other day I went over to the Wilson's for dinner and game night. We grilled up some yummy hamburgers, then played some fun games.

This is my favorite conversation from that night:

Rachel: Brayden, what do you want on your hamburger?
Brayden: Mom, I want it Animal style!

Hahahah! Someone has been to Inn & Out before!

While we were playing games Bryan got Conner ready for bed and put him in the tub..
Oh boy, he's such a cute little noodle!

This is Conner's new Pirate face! ARGH!

Big BOOM!

2012-01-05T10:28:00.000-07:00

Last week we went shooting, Yes, again!
One of my friends came with us and brought a few of his Big Guns, one of them was a AR15...

It looks kind of like this

This is a video of me shooting that gun and shooting a Star Target!

BOOM!

Shooting!

2011-12-23T09:40:00.001-07:00

Last weekend I went shooting with the family! My sister Jessica has been in town for over week, so this was one of the activities we did while she was here.

We went out in the boonies near Leeds. The only downfall was it was a bit windy, which made it So cold... but it was still fun!

Here are a few pictures!

Brayden and Bryan

Me with the shotgun!

Brian Head

2011-12-16T09:57:00.000-07:00

This past weekend I went to Brian Head with a few girl friends! One of my friends bosses has a condo up there and said we could go any time. So we left Friday Morning and came back Sunday afternoon.

It was such a nice, mini vacation. We didn't do anything too eventful besides watch movies and play games, but on Saturday we went sledding behind the condo, it was so fun! I haven't been sledding in so long. But oh boy, it is such a work out walking up the hill every time! So we only lasted about 20 minutes :)

Here are a few pictures!

Thanksgiving

2011-11-26T13:24:00.001-07:00

This year I had THREE Thanksgiving dinners that I went too...I'm pretty sure I gained 10 pounds!
But I ate lots of yummy food!

On the actual Thanksgiving day I went to New Harmony to my Grandparents house and had turkey dinner with my grandparents, aunt, uncle, dad, mom and step dad. After we ate we played a few games!

We forgot to take pictures.. but I just wanted to share this CUTE picture of my siblings and I!

Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving!

A year...

2011-11-21T12:52:00.001-07:00

Its been a full year since I have moved back to St. George from Salt Lake...
What a great year it has been too... (I still can't believe its been a year though)

Lots has changed in the past year.

I'm living back in St. George, with my Friends and family.

I never knew how hard it would be to move to another city where I barely knew anyone while being away from my comfort zone.

I'm single and not engaged.

Every so often I still get asked about being married (someone asked me a week ago).
Being single has been fun, its fun going on dates meeting new people.
And I'm not ready for a seriously relationship just yet..

And the best part... I'm HAPPIER.

Here is something I like to say...

"When I was in Elementary school and was asked what I want to be when my grow up... I didn't say a Doctor, Nurse or astronaut.. All I said was I wanted to be Happy."

Thank you to all my friends and family that I have in my life that make it even better.

My sister Jessica came down from California last week, so we had a early Thanksgiving with her on Saturday. It was fun and tasty!

I hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving and cherish the time you have with your family and friends.

Music

2011-11-16T11:09:00.000-07:00

I love this song!
And no... not just because it has something to do with Twilight.

Give it a listen...or three.

Silly boys!

2011-11-07T14:21:00.004-07:00

Today I went to Rachel's house for lunch.. and attempted to take a few pictures with the boys. I think we took like 15.. and these were the best of the bunch!

My silly Brayden!

Halloween

2011-11-03T12:51:00.001-06:00

For Halloween I went over to my mothers house to see my sister and her family! I had to work, so I couldn't really go trick or treating with them.

Here are their costumes!

(The Angry Birds Family)

The boys!

My nephews are sure cute! Hope you all had a fun day!

I just Love HIM!

2011-10-26T13:52:00.000-06:00

No
No
No
NO

I'm not talking about a new man in my life... I am just simply talking about this lovable guy...

.
.
.
.

.Meet Meeko!

Meeko (My roommates dog) is my first real pet. Growing up we only had a mouse and maybe lizard or hornytoad, as we are all allergic to cats and dogs. I got lucky when it came to Meeko, he is 2 breeds that are hypoallergenic. He is pretty much the first dog that I have not been allergic to.

He is so dang lovable and cute! I will say, I am ~~rather~~ very attached to him. A few weeks ago Kyle went out of town and took Meeko with him, that was definitely a lonely week.

Here is our "Family Picture"

Here are a few cool shots one of my friends took the other day.

My favorite!

Luck!

2011-10-18T16:16:00.000-06:00

This is going to be a quick random blog... (that I have been meaning to do for a week.. or two.)

September was a really good month for me. I have been getting more into the "groove" of my new job, which is still going great and it was also my birthday.

But the best thing that happened was I was super lucky.. why?

1st.... I entered into a contest with a local car dealership for FREE Tuacahn tickets, which are usually 30 - 60 $$. There were only about 60 entries.. but I WON!!!
So tonight I am taking a good friend to go see the Little Mermaid! I'm very excited as I heard it was AMAZING!

2nd... I entered in a giveaway for the Local radio station for FOUR FREE TICKETS TO Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn..(YES, I am a Twilight fan!)
The Planet 94.1 has 3,700 fans on their facebook page, so I am sure there were plenty of Twilight crazed fans that entered. Out of all those fans, I won! They announced it on the radio too... its always weird hearing my own voice..especially on the radio.

3rd... a Local company asked a question on their Facebook page about a new feature on their page and the first person that answered correctly won a gift card... I didn't answer first.. but I was the first person to answer correctly..so I won.

I think I won something else..but at this time I do not remember.

I guess I should of gone to Mesquite or Vegas to really test my luck!

24

2011-09-20T20:29:00.000-06:00

A week ago I turned 24! woot!
Last Monday I had a family birthday party!
Here are a few pictures with my favorite little boys!

Rachel made me a Tasty Lemon cake!

My birthday was on a Tuesday, so I did have to work. After work I went to dinner with just a few friends. We went to Panama Grill, since I had never been there, and it was good!
Here are some pictures!

Then the following Saturday I had a friend get together and bbq! It was so fun seeing all my friends!
Here are a few pictures from the night!

Overall I had a great week! Thanks friends and family!

Work, Work, Work...

2011-09-10T18:32:00.000-06:00

Life changes have been happening to me!

About 3 weeks ago my Friend Holly ask me if I wanted/needed a new job... No, I wasn't looking, I have been working for Liquid HCG Diet for over a year and a half now and its been a Great job!

But I figured why not see what it is all about.. So I went in for a interview, it seemed like a great company to work for! The companies name is Go Social Motion. They basically do Social Media for companies around St. George, Vegas and SLC.

So a few days after my interview I got called back for a 2nd interview. The other social media strategist (which is my official title) asked me a few questions... Then the next day.. or later that day... I got a call with them offering me the job, and if you can't tell by now.. I took it!

I've been working there for 3 weeks, and so far I like it! I love computers, the internet and social media.. so I am happy there. It is a bigger challenge then my HCG job, which I am still going to be working a few nights during the week.

So Social Motion needed me ASAP! So I started working there during the day after they hired me. So for the past 2 weeks I have been working a full time job and a part time job, 12 hours a day, every day. WHOA!

Needless to say, life has been crazy, busy lately!

But its starting to cool down and I'm getting into a new routine... hint hint.. waking up at 7 AM! Which really isn't too bad.

Life is good!

4 days!!!!

2011-08-16T21:01:00.000-06:00

Since I recently graduated and have been working lots of over time.. I decided to buy myself something.

That something is Death Cab for Cutie concert tickets!

I have wanted to see them in concert for Years.. every since middle school, so I am happy that I am Finally able to see them.. even better, I get to see them with one of my best friends, Hilary!

Here is there hit single on their new album

And this is one of my favorite songs by them

Another goody just for fun!

We are also staying the night in Vegas, so it will be a fun little getaway before school starts!

Lately...

2011-08-08T15:47:00.000-06:00

Lately I've been hiding from everyone, mainly because of..

-School
-Work

I FINALLY finished up my associates degree this summer semester. I took a loooong break and finally decided to go back. I only had ONE class to take to get my degree, the dreaded Statistics. I had a Much better teacher and passed my Statisics class with a B, which I am Highly proud of.

We have been short handed at work for over 2 months, so I have been working over time the whole time.
So being in school full time and working full time was NUTS! I barely saw any friends or family or did that much.

Now.. school is over for the summer.. but, I'm going back in the fall, so I have a small break to breath again! Work has hired someone (this week) so my hours will go down to 40. The overtime (money) has been nice, but it will be nice not to have to work every day!

That is about it for now.. hopefully I do something exciting before school starts again.

Nephews!

2011-07-08T16:32:00.000-06:00

Last week I babysat my cute, little nephews for a few hours while Rachel went and hung out with her girl friends.

Here are some cute pictures!

His crazy eyes!

Love my nephews!

Happy Birthday Mom!

2011-06-26T21:23:00.000-06:00

Last Friday was my mothers birthday!

On her actual birthday we all went out to lunch!

Then today we went over to Rachel's house and had cake and played games!

Rachel's Yummy coconut cake!

I love this picture as it truly portrays one of the things our family does frequently!

Nate and Brayden playing the Wii.. looks like a pretty intense game!

It was a fun last few days celebrating her birthday! She usually celebrates a week before and a week after her actual birthday. Tomorrow we are having another family party with everyone!

5 years old!

2011-05-26T17:01:00.001-06:00

Last week my little nephew Brayden turned 5!!

Rachel had a fun friend birthday party for him Saturday morning at the water park in Washington with a pinata in all! Here is one picture with B and some friends

Tuesday (on his actual birthday) we had a family party!

This Train chocolate cake

Cheesy smile!

Cute siblings (just missing one sister)

Pretty mom and Rachel!

Birthday boy, with cake on his face!

It was a fun little party! Brayden is growing so much and getting smarter and smarter each day!

A day at the park!

2011-05-19T12:09:00.000-06:00

Last week I went to the park with my mother, sister and 2 nephews!
It was such a nice, sunny day, we decided to go get some cafe rio and head to the park for a little picnic.

One of my favorite things at parks is the swings! Conner loves them too

The last few days here have been semi cold and rainy, which I don't mind the rain.
Hopefully we have more sunny days so we can do things outside!

Easter!

2011-04-28T19:41:00.000-06:00

For Easter we all went to Rachel's house for dinner and home made ice cream. It was tasty!
After we ate we played some games! It was a fun day!

Here are a few pictures!

Hope you all had a great Easter!

Stung by the enemy..

2011-04-25T09:53:00.002-06:00

Last night Kyle and I were watching tv.. Modern family. He was laying in my lap, all of a sudden I felt like my arm got Poked by something, like a needle had poked me. I thought it was some pokey thing on Kyle's shirt, so I checked his shirt and didn't find anything. So we went back to watching TV and my arm still felt like it was being poked over and over again.

A few minutes later Kyle felt it to.

Then all of a sudden he stood up suddenly and found a scorpion right by us on the couch... talk about Freak out X2.

We've had trouble with finding scorpion's the past few months and we thought it was the end of it.

So me.. being the bravest one... went and grabbed a plastic cup to scoop him up.

Although this picture does not do him justice, this guy was the biggest one we have found so far and happens to be the one we BOTH get stung by.

After I took the picture I immediately flushed him down the toilet.

For the next few hours our arms were numb and stinging. We didn't want to go to bed, as we wanted to make sure we didn't get any serious symptoms.

Here is a picture of us too scared to go to sleep yet.

This morning I am ok... though my arm is still not fully functioning as well. Hopefully it will be better later today.

New Addition.

2011-04-15T10:38:00.000-06:00

I recently got a new addition in my life...

.
.
.

Hopefully you are all not thinking that I'm having a baby.

Though I do know a few people that have had babies recently.

Here is a picture of my new thing.

My last lap top COMPLETELY DIED. That computer caused me so much stress and trouble and was not working more than it was working. So I'm glad to have it gone.

My new lap top is a bit smaller, which I like and its much slimmer!! Yes, my new computer went on a diet, compared to my last one!

So far I am really enjoying it and I'm glad I have a reliable computer again!

Adventure in Dixie rock!

2011-03-24T14:41:00.000-06:00

A few days ago I went up to Dixie rock with Rachel and the boys! It was a good day outside so it was fun to take a small hike, though it did sprinkle for a bit, but it was still fun!

Here is a great picture of Brayden posing!

Favorite Treat!

2011-03-15T09:31:00.000-06:00

One of my favorite treats lately.. well for the past year since they have been open... Is to go to Krave: Self Serving Frozen Yogurt!

They have the most TASTY flavor, Dole Whip PINEAPPLE! I Swear I could eat it all day! Then my second favored is Cake Batter! I have got quite a few people addicted to Krave as well, I probably deserve a free one or something ;)

Rachel, the boys and I go every now and then. I had a buy one get one free, so we went the other day.

Conner surely loves this treat too!

So if you live in St. George and haven't been there yet, I highly recommend it :)

2nd Birthday

2011-02-23T19:07:00.001-07:00

Last week was Conner's 2nd Birthday!!! We had a family part a few days early. Here are a few pictures of him and his homemade chocolate cake!

He is such a cute, happy boy and is always enjoyable to be around!

Here is a precious picture of him and I!

Serenity at the Spa

2011-02-17T19:14:00.000-07:00

Have you ever been completely relaxed for 5 hours?!?
I can now officially say YES to that question.

Last week I had 5 hours of heaven, at a SPA! WHOA! I have never been to a spa before, so it was my first experience and it was incredible.

The day started off with lunch at the spa's restaurant. The food was so good! It was a big buffet with lots of choices of healthy food to eat, and the way it was cook.. it was just so good.

Next on my "spa Itinerary" I had something called a "Mountain Glow", where I got scrubbed down with body salt/sugar scrub. After it was done, my body was sooo nice and soft.

Then I had a 45 minute massage. Massages are my favorite, so it was heavenly.

Next I had a Facial, it was my first time having one and I loved it.

Here is a pic of me in my robe, which I was in for most of the time

Then I got a pedicure, which I almost feel asleep during it, it was so relaxing.

Last, but not least, a manicure.

My whole spa day was a present from someone...

......And so were these :)

Its almost the weekend!! I'm heading up north for a family gathering, very excited to see everyone!!

House pictures!

2011-02-10T14:18:00.001-07:00

I forgot that I never posted pictures of the house I live in! Here are a few:

The living room

Entry way/front door

Dinning area

Our sweet Dixie Rock fire place!

The kitchen and a peak of the laundry room

My office

Plus I have other things like a bed room and a bathroom, those aren't that exciting haha!
So far I'm loving the new place! Its very spacious!

The Unwanted visitor.

2011-01-17T16:52:00.000-07:00

Two days ago I woke up and saw this on my bathroom wall...

Yeah.. that is a scorpion.

I was pretty freaked out at first, but he was fairly small. I let Bob (Yes, I named him) stay on the wall until I had enough courage to get him out. Since my room mate wasn't home, I had to deal with him by myself!

I finally mustered enough courage and went and got a plastic bottle to go and scoop him off the wall .
Note: I did put gloves on just in case.

I got him in the bottle and let him sit there for a while.. as I had to show my room mate him! I did go check on him every 10 minutes to make sure he didn't get out! Here is Bob in his bottle.

This morning we had his forced funeral, as he got flushed down the toilet. Sadly, Bob will not be missed.

I'm back!

2010-12-30T16:28:00.000-07:00

I've been slacking in the blogging department, but I have good excuses! I just moved and and haven't had internet.

We finally got internet TODAY! It will be nice not having to use my friends phone or going to someone else's house. (Don't worry Mom, I'll still come visit you)

So I moved into my new house 10 days ago. I moved in with one of my great friends and I'm loving it. We still have things to do around the house, so I'll take some pictures soon.

Christmas was great! I went to my sister's house early in the morning to watch the boys open their presents. It was so fun! They both got a train set that they love! Then I went to my Mom's to open presents with them. Then we all went to Rachel's house for dinner with my grandparents, aunt Pam and uncle Greg.

Lately I have just been working and unpacking/organizing things. The house is almost all together.

I'm excited for the new year and for the new adventures it will bring.
I hope everyone had a great holiday and has a great new year!

Thanksgiving/moving

2010-12-02T12:28:00.000-07:00

For Thanksgiving this year we all went to Rachel's house. We had about 16 people, so her house was packed with family! We had a delicious feast and it was great seeing all my family. My sister Jessica came from California and my Grandma Lilga from Florida, so it was great being able to spend some time with them.

I didn't even take any pictures this year, but my mother did, so I will have to get some from her.

I've been fairly busy the past few weeks with moving. I moved back to St. George about a week ago and I have been house hunting for over a month. Today I finally found something that I love, its a older home, but it has new tile, carpet and paint. So it looks great! I'll be moving in about 2 weeks, I'm pretty excited to have a place to call "home" again.

That's all the update I have for now. I just wanted to check in and let you all know I'm still alive and kickin!

Happy Halloween!

2010-10-31T10:32:00.004-06:00

Happy Halloween Everyone!
Yesterday I went trick or treating for a little bit with my two nephews.

Dancing boy!

2010-10-26T10:04:00.000-06:00

This last weekend I went down south with my brother is law for just the weekend. It was a fun, short trip. I just hung out with family and friends.

I took this cute video of Conner, he was playing with a singing toy and started dancing! SOO CUTE!

Sorry, the video is side ways

BINGO!

2010-10-06T10:48:00.000-06:00

This past weekend I went down South, I had a few friend events going on. Friday Night I went to Mesquite with 10 - 15 other people and played BINGO! It was SOOO much fun. We went down to have fun with our friend Nancy, who is moving.

Here are a few pictures from the night:

One of my fav pics, Jared, Erik, and my self

Love this picture of Jared and Hilary

Saturday night my friend Hilary had a little house warming party/bbq because she just moved into a nice, new house! It was fun seeing lots of friends!

The rest of the weekend I hung out with my family, which is always nice! I'm excited to move back in November!

Birthday Weekend in St. George

2010-09-26T14:31:00.000-06:00

The a few days after my birthday we went down south and spent a few days in st. George and Cedar city.
The first day I had a little family party with my Mom, Mike, Angie, Kristine, Nate and kids! I haven't been bowling for a few, so that's what I decided I wanted to do. It was fun, even the kids had a great time pushing the balls down the alley. Here are a few pictures!

Little Brayden

My "little" brother and I, I swear he grows Every time I see him.

Kevin

Mike

After bowling we went back to my mom's house and everyone pinched in and cooked me a tasty dinner.

The next day I celebrated with my dad, sister and mom, we all went to Rachel's house, she cooked us dinner and make a coconut cake and we played some games!

Saturday we headed down to Cedar City to spend some time with Kevin's family. I think if we stayed there for a week I would gain 10 pounds! Jim is such a great cook and he made us something tasty for every night! It was nice spending time with them and playing phase 10, I even let Cherie win!! ;)

We will be heading down south again this weekend, so we can do it all over again!

Funny of the day

2010-09-15T20:40:00.000-06:00

Today while at my mothers house, Brayden was spending the day with us and he has had a bit of a runny nose, suddenly he sneezed and said "I'm sick, cause I ate some grass earlier today"

I don't know if its just me..but I could not stop laughing, my eyes were crying because I had been laughing so hard! He really does say the funnies things sometimes! :)

23

2010-09-14T15:47:00.000-06:00

Yesterday was my birthday! First thing when I woke up and went into the office I found this..

Roses, chocolate, mints, chocolate and a Poem! Yes, he wrote me a cute poem!

He also got me this new, shiny LAP TOP...

My old lap top has been having problems for a while now, so its nice to have a newly working one!

I had to work for a few hours in the morning, after I was done, i did some yoga and we watched some of my favorite tv shows. Later in the evening Kevin and I went out to dinner at Buca Di Beppo. It was tasty Italian food.

(Not a very good picture, it was bad lighting..Plus Kevin is pulling a weird face)

After dinner we came back to the house and had some peanut butter/chocolate cheese cake that I made and played my favorite game Phase 10, as we watched some good tv shows!

We are going to celebrate more with my family tomorrow in St. George!

This is a picture of me and a new dress i got for myself!

Overall I had a fun, relaxing day! :)

Down South

2010-08-04T17:46:00.000-06:00

Last weekend Kevin and I went down south for a visit. We stay with my mom in St. George for two days and mostly hung out with family. Though Saturday night I went to a fun concert with some friends, it was very fun, though it got a bit too hot and sweaty.

Then Sunday night we drove up to Cedar city and we were greeted with this marvelous sunset.

So breathtaking, if I do say so myself.

We got home yesterday, just in time for me to work. It was a fun little trip

C is for Conner!

2010-07-28T15:44:00.000-06:00

I love this picture of my Cute Conner and his cookies! Mind you he had to have two cookies, one for each hand... Best way to eat cookies!

A close call... For us

2010-07-23T17:27:00.004-06:00

This accident happened early Wednesday morning, in the apartment building RIGHT BEHIND ours. We are lucky our building didn't get damaged.

Right now there are guards posted out side the building 24/7. Probably so no one try's to sneak in and get some of their possessions back.

Here are a few pictures I took, I had to be sneaky.
These are pictures of the back of the apartments, most of the damage was in the front.

Nature

2010-07-20T21:57:00.000-06:00

The other day I was going for my morning walk and found this on the side walk...

I thought it was so awesome looking, I had to share.

Sometime nature just amazes me :)

New and Shiny!

2010-07-18T13:59:00.001-06:00

Last week I got a new phone, its the chocolate LG Touch, So far I love it!
I got a free upgrade, can't say no to a free phone ;)

Last weekend Kevin and I drove down south to see family and friends, it was so nice seeing everyone!
We mostly hung out at my mom's house and Rachel's and we hung out with friends a few times.

I have been looking for a new vehicle for a few weeks, we found one at the Toyota dealership in SLC, but I wanted to see what was available in St. George.

We went to the Toyota dealership and within 10 minutes I saw the Pontiac G6 GT and immediately fell in love! I've liked them for a while and have drove a few of them before. So I ended up getting it and so far I love it!

That is my exciting news for the week! Hope you are all having a good weekend!

We had a fun night last night playing games with another couple.

Demolition Derby

2010-07-06T19:28:00.000-06:00

Saturday July 3rd Kevin and myself went down to Delta with our two friends Nick and Sarah!
We went to the demolition derby. It was my first time going, cause last year I promised Kevin I would go!
I'm definitely glad we went, it was so much fun. I loved seeing all the cars/trucks bash into each other.

The winner of the whole competition did sooo good! His car was so smashed and barely running, by the end of it the whole crowd was all yelling and cheering!

Here are a few pictures!

Kevin, Me, Nick and Sarah!

The weather was hot at first, but not too bad, though I did get a small sunburn. By the end of the night it was breezy and cold. After we watched some of the fireworks we left early to bet the traffic.
As we pulled out of the gravel parking lot Kevin noticed something was wrong, we got out and found out we had a flat tire. PSH!

So we drove to the gas station to try to fill it up, but that didn't work. LUCKILY, my brother in law mounted the other spare tire (The rim was previously off, no company would put it back on, due to NO tread).
But no tread was better than a flat. Good thing we had our friends there to help us and follow us home.

So it ended up being a great day, minus the end.

Hope you all had a great 4th of July!

Bad day...Chocolate helps melt it away!

2010-06-15T17:21:00.001-06:00

Sometimes when I'm having a bad day all I want is a hug or... CHOCOLATE!

I tried this HCG chocolate delight recipe yesterday... and it was soooo tasty!

1 C. cocoa
1 C. Coconut Oil, melted
8 packages Stevia
Agave Nectar (Optional)
Flavored Stevia – Peppermint, English Toffee (Optional)

Fluff cocoa with a fork to break up any chunks. Add melted Coconut Oil.

Mix in Stevia adding MORE or less depending on taste.

Add a few sticks or drops of Agava Nectar to taste and drops of flavored stevia to taste.

What do you do when you are having a bad day and need a "pick me up"?

A few days ago Kevin and I went up the Cottonwood canyon to go on a hike. But due to high amounts of snow, still... the trail was blocked off. So we went for another small hike and a nice drive!

He wanted to push a snowball down the hill!

Even though we didn't get to go on the hike, it was still fun! And such a nice day!

2010-04-23T20:45:00.000-06:00

Last week I went to St. George for a week! I am able to work where ever a computer is, so that was definitely convenient. I stayed at my sisters house the whole time, her husband, Bryan, just got a new job in SLC, so I helped her not be lonely :)
Plus, it was fun seeing the boys... even if they are a bit crazy sometimes.

On Sunday, a few friends and I, decided to go to Zion! As it was "Free Week". Here are a few pictures!

Erik, Jared, Brayden, Mike and Me!

2010-04-04T13:34:00.003-06:00

Over the weekend Kevin and I went to St. George.

We left Thursday and stayed in Cedar city with Kevin's parents. Then Friday we headed down to St. George and hung out with my family and played games. Then Saturday we played games with Rachel and my dad and went to lunch with some old friends, Kelly & Danelle!

Later that day my friend Hilary (and baby Kass) and I went to my friend Vanessa's wedding! It was so pretty and fun seeing them get married!

Later that day we went to Hilary's house warming party since she just moved to St. George! It was so fun seeing old friends!

Sunday was my brothers 13th birthday!!! We had dinner and cake!
It was fun seeing everyone!!

Here are a few pictures!

Hope you all have a happy Easter!

I got a Job!!

2010-03-23T21:18:00.000-06:00

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I finally got a job after about 2 months of searching, geeze, the job market is just as bad in the SLC area.

So here is the story.
Last week I had a interview with the small airport in SLC, as I was waiting to talk to the manager a guy came up to me and gave me his card and said if this job doesn't work out to give him a call. So 2 days later I emailed him seeing what job opportunity he had and sent him my resume. He gave me a run down of what the job entailed and I told him I was interested. Then he called me the next day and said he contacted the airport to see if they were going to hire me, he found out they hired someone who had previous airport experience, so we scheduled an interview, which I had today. After the interview, which went well, he said he would get back to me later on in the day. He called me about 30 minutes later saying I got the job and that I can start training tomorrow!

I'm pretty excited to be employed again and since I'll be doing computer stuff (support emails, online help and support calls) I get to work at home. The only down fall is its a part time job and at night 5pm - 10pm, but it will probably work into full time later on.

The company is called "Liquid HCG Diet", I'm sure Many of you have heard that this new craze. Well Ill be an expert on it soon! They seem like they will be a great company to work for, they have around 7 employees right now, so they are growing!
That's my good news for the day!

I guess we no longer have to eat Ramen ;)

See all you St. Georgian's on Friday!

2010-02-10T20:53:00.000-07:00

I'm still unemployed,,,, BUT I FINALLY got a call back from eBay today. I had a small phone interview and it seemed to go well. The lady I talked to said she would be contacting me again in a few days!! It will be nice to have a job again.. I've been jobless for a month now, so I'm starting to go crazy, but I have caught up on a Lot of TV shows :)

I haven't taken any pictures of our place yet because Kevin has a TV in the front room he is trying to fix. He found a 51" TV near THE TRASH!! The screen was a little dented, but he fixed that, so now he just needs to fix the convergence and it will be a completely working TV for FREE!!

The TV looks very similar to this:

So he is very excited about his dumper treasure. Like a week ago he found a nice working Lamp! Which is nice since we needed one for the office! It is true that... One man's trash, is another man's treasure!!

On Sunday we went to Kevin's friends house to watch the superbowl, it was fun, even though I'm not into football. It was mostly fun because we played the new Mario on the Wii after.

Here is a picture from the party!

I'll be heading to St. George sometime in the next few days! It will be nice to see everyone again!

SLC so far.

2010-01-31T22:54:00.000-07:00

Well, we've been living in SLC for almost 2 weeks now. We found a 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom apartment, we really like it! I've never lived in an apt before, but so far it isn't too bad. We haven't had any trouble or noise with neighbors... yet :)

We just got the internet, which is nice to have back! I'm still looking for a job, now that I'm in the 3rd week of not having one, I'm going a bit crazy with having so much free time. I applied for a few jobs today... so hopefully I hear back from someone. I'm trying to find a office job.. since that's what I have been doing for 4 years.

I miss my St. G family and friends so much! I'll be back to visit on the 12th. Since my sister Jessica will be in town that weekend too!

I'll post some picture of our apt soon!

That's all for now folks!

Hide and Seek!

2010-01-12T17:27:00.000-07:00

I've been hiding, if you've been trying to seek me!!
A few things that have happened recently:

-Quit my job
-Started packing up my house
-Searching for a place to live in the SLC area
-Having fun not working :)

Right now I'm still in my "vacation week" of not having a job. Give me another few days and Ill be ready to get back to working again. I recently applied for a job at eBay, so I hope to hear back from them!!!! I would love to work there, since I love, love eBay. I applied for a job in the support department, so I will definitely have some experience!

In other exciting news:
I have a twitter account and every now and then I play a trivia game, I won one of the games... over a month ago :) and I won this sweet external hard drive, just for being good at trivia!! Oh yes, I was uber proud! So I had to show it off.

So for now, I'm going to go back and forth from St. George and SLC while I finish moving all my possessions and continue on the hunt for a job!

I will admit that take a little break is nice, but I don't want to take tooo big of a break :)

Christmas Holiday

2009-12-29T22:57:00.005-07:00

On December 23rd my mom, Mike, grandparents, aunt Pam, Dad and I went to Rachel and Bryan's house for our family Christmas party, plus my dad's bday party! We ate some tasty food, then opened Christmas presents with my grandparents and aunt, then opened birthday presents with my dad!

Hope you had a great birthday Pop pop!!

On Christmas Eve I got out of work around 2, did a few errands, packed my bags and headed up to Cedar City to spend the night with Kevin at his parents house!! Kevin, his sister Megan and her husband Ryan drove down from Midvale and made it to the house around 4:30. I made it shortly after. We all hung out and played games!! First we ate delicious hamburgers, then started to play games!! We played Taboo for a while, then switched to a game I have never played before called Balderdash, it was very fun! Then we played Catch Phrase for a while, told stories... then went to bed.

Christmas morning we all got out of bed, then opened presents around 11:30. I got a cute new shirt, new sweater, gloves, perfume, lotion, new hat and a gift card to Aero!! It was so nice!

The big thing I gave Kevin for Christmas was a new Blackberry Tour phone! He has been wanting one since his other phone was giving him trouble. He loved it and was speechless when he opened it!! It was quite a site to see :) After we opened presents we ate a tasty breakfast and played more Catch Phrase!! We all highly enjoyed that game! I had such a great time with them!!
Here are a few pictures from the morning!

Kevin trying on his awesome new sweater!

I got him a Mtn Dew shirt!

Then Kevin and I left and headed out to my sisters house to open presents with the Wilson's and my dad. I got a cute sign my sister made, a game, some treats, a gift card and socks!! Then Kevin and I headed home then got ready to head to my mom's house. We got to her house and ate dinner, she made some tasty soup and Rachel made some spinach dip. Then we opened presents with them I got a awesome beanie Mike made for me a gift card!

It was a very nice Christmas weekend and had fun spending time with my family!

I'm glad I got to spend it with Kevin too! He is so ~~awesome~~, Amazing to me, I'm sooo glad I have him in my life!!

Here are some pictures!

Thanksgiving!

2009-11-27T16:41:00.005-07:00

This Thanksgiving we all went to my sister Rachel's house! We ate around 2, it was very delicious! For dessert we had pumpkin pie, apple pie and my sisters home made cheese cake! MMMmmm. It was so tasty.
After we ate we played apples to apples and told stories.

After we hung out with my family we headed up to Cedar City to spend some time with Kevin's family. We ate some food there too! Then we played Rummy Cube for a while, it is one of my favorite games, so it was fun to play! Over all it was a fun day, it was nice to see so many family members!

Here are a few pictures from the day!

Mozy.com!

2009-11-17T21:02:00.001-07:00

What would you do for a free tshirt?

Well let me tell you what I did. I play a trivia game on twitter and the sponsor of the last game was a site called mozy.com they offer a great online back up solution. They said they will give you a free shirt if you Did something for it. I Really wanted one of these shirts, for Kevin cause it fits him..since he is nerdy, so I was determined to get one.

What I did was wear a sign around the office that said "Mozy.com is Awesome!!"

Here are a few pictures

Me at my desk

A awesome co-worker and I chatting

Heading out to lunch!

On my way home I drove home with my sign on my truck!
So thats what I did! It brought a little excitment to the usual Manic Monday!

Recently...

2009-11-04T21:34:00.005-07:00

The past week has been kind of crazy for me!

Last Thursday I left work because I wasn't feeling well, and it all spiraled down hill from there. From Thursday to Monday all I did was lay in bed and watch tv, it was horrible and boring! I had some type of viral infection that made me weak, have a cough, sore throat, achy body, cough, and some. I think its the sickest I've been in my life and I never want to life through that again! Thankfully, I had Kevin there to be my nurse! And my mother and father helped me out a lot too! I still have a small cough left, but I'm feeling much better!

Its seems like its hard not to get sick now days since its going around. Yesterday there was a coughing orchestra in my office, yes, lots of people around me are sick. I think we should take a few days and de-containment the building!!

I was sad I missed all the Halloween festivities, but I got to see some good pictures!
Here are a few pictures of my cute nephews!

Conner as a cute baby chicken!

Brayden as a Lion!

The boys with a few neighbor kids

Here are a few other cute pictures!

I only have three tests for my Stat class then I am done! Well 2 chapter tests and the final!
I will be SOOOOOO happy when I pass and I'm done!

Tomorrow Kevin and I have been dating for 6 months ♥ !!! Boy time flies!
He is such a sweet guy and I'm lucky to have him in my life! I sure do ♥ him!

Well I hope you are all having a great week, I know I'm looking forward to the weekend!

Birthday weekend! ... and some.

2009-09-14T20:03:00.009-06:00

So last Sunday was my 22nd birthday! On Saturday a few friends, Kevin and I went to Benja's for dinner! One of my favorite places in town. Here are a few pictures!

Jason and I!

Then after Benja's and a few other friends and I went to Mesquite for a BIRTHDAY BINGO BASH! One of my friends that went won, but I didn't.. PSH! But it was still fun. I gambled with only $5 and was up to $50.. in the end I won $18... so not too bad! Here are a few pictures of the bingo adventure.

For my birthday day I had a family party! My mom made my favorite chicken dish, my father made mashed potato's! And my sister made her delicious homemade chocolate cake! My family also gave me a bunch of my favorite treats, including homemade granola!! MMMM!! And some good body products!

Then after we ate we played my favorite game "Phase Ten". It was a very enjoyable little party!

Two weeks ago my sister that lives in California came down for a 2 week visit before she leaves to travel! So we all decided to take a family picture.

Now days I am just working full time and doing homework at night. I am taking my final class for graduation, which is Statistics. Math has never been my favorite, but I am taking the online class and so far it seems to be easier. On my first test I got a 90%, which yes, I was quite proud of :)

Well, that's all for now, I hope you all have a great weekend!
My plans so far are:
1. get a massage
2. go see my mom
3. mop my kitchen floor
4. go shopping with little brother
5. be lazy
6. watch a movie with my boy!
7. sleep.

California Trip!

2009-07-12T15:49:00.004-06:00

Last Friday I went to Vegas to start my 4 days of vacation! Kevin drove me down to my friend Hilary's house and I got to stay the night with her! We hung out at her house for a bit and played with her cute baby! Then we headed to a casino for a bit of gambling fun! We ended up play Crap's and I won $100!! Well I spend $20... so I really won $80.. which is still awesome. I had a great night with her! In the morning she took me to the airport and I got on my plane to head to California. I landed in San Francisco about 1:30 and meet my sister, father and Grandma Lilga!

We then headed to a big San Fran garden park, with so many amazing things to see, here are a few pictures of the day.

(Took this picture for you Katie! there is a plant named after you!)

Later that night we tried to catch the fire works in the local town (since it was the 4th of July) but there was sooo many people and cars everywhere we didn't make it, so we ended up going to dinner at a pizza place, which was Sooo tasty!

The rest of the time there we went out to eat, did a bit of thrift shopping, played games, went to a few winery's, went to gardens, and mostly just hung out and had a great time with each other! I had a nice relaxing vacation, I just wish it could of been longer!

The inside feeling

2009-07-12T03:37:00.004-06:00

Sometimes I wonder if we are all taking enough time to stop "smell the roses"....

We should all be enjoying the life we have and make it the best we can..

but sometimes its hard to get what we want out of life, there are so many challenges in life to go through, sometimes I just have to stop and tell myself to remember to breathe and it will turn out okay. Getting frustrated over small things its not always worth keeping myself from being happy. At times, I find myself having so many mixed emotions and I don't know what to do with them.. to sit on them.. how to get rid of them..., if I'm ever feeling a bit sad,mad, unhappy or neglected, sometimes certain events then get me frustrated, even if the reason for being sad is just seems unreasonable, i just feel like screaming and hiding somewhere in the corner where i can't be seen. Crying a little sometimes seems to help.. I'm a female so yes that happens.. even though it hasn't for awhile. But its not like I am going to cry out my problems or frustrated emotions.

One other thing that helps when life I'm feeling down is a simple hug, when someone close randomly gives me a hug, it seems to brighten my day, even when thinking about issues with money, family, friends, hugs just seem to be a big band aid to help heal a wound

Reach out and share a hug with someone that looks like they need of one.. or if your just feeling extra "huggy" its a great way to show love or friendship to someone else.

If you've got someone that makes you feel loved and happy in life.. You've got it all, so just hold on to them.

When I can't sleep I have lots of random thoughts flying through my head, this time I decided to get them out and write them down.

My eyes feel like they are on fire even though i have a burning desire, they are not willing to let me sleep, not even a peep. Yes, sometime I like to rhyme, it can be a fun time.

Well, now that its past 4:30 in the morning I am going to attempt to go back to sleep

Just breathe and everything will be all right.

Men are like... (For the women)

2009-06-29T10:50:00.001-06:00

For all those men who say, “Why buy a cow when you can get milk for free?”
Here's an update for you: Now days, 80% of women are against marriage, WHY? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage.

Men are like....

1. Men are like ... Laxatives..... They irritate the crap out of you.

2. Men are like..... Bananas....... The older they get, the less firm they are.

3. Men are like...... Weather...... Nothing can be done to change them.

4. Men are like..... Blenders..... You need one, but you're not quite sure why.

5. Men are like..... Chocolate Bars.... Sweet, smooth, & they usually head right for your hips.

6. Men are like..... Commercials....... You can't believe a word they say.

7. Men are like.... Department Stores.... Their clothes are always 1/2 off.

8. Men are like..... Government Bonds..... They take soooooooo long to mature.

9. Men are like..... Mascara..... They usually run at the first sign of emotion.

10. Men are like.... Popcorn.... They satisfy you, but only for a little while.

11. Men are like.... Snowstorms.... You never know when they're coming, how many inches you'll get or how long it will last.

12. Men are like.... Lava Lamps.... Fun to look at, but not very bright.

13. Men are like.... Parking Spots.... All the good ones are taken, the rest are handicapped. Now send this to all the remarkable women you know, as well as to any understanding good-natured, fun kinda guys you might be lucky enough to know !!!!!!!!!!

Saturday in Vegas!

2009-06-22T19:46:00.003-06:00

Saturday my good friend Mike and I decided to head down to Vegas.. just for fun!
We got a rental, Ford Fusion, which was fun to drive, then left around 11. When we got into Vegas we had lunch with his friend then headed to the mall to meet our friends Hilary and Cora!
I bought a few things at the mall.. including a few new bras (hey, that is always exciting!)
Then after we were bored of shopping we headed over to Hilary's house and hung out with Hilary, Brandon and Kass, till Cora and Brandon J came over. We ate pizza and watched some of a fight.
It was so fun to see our friends we had not seen in a while. Here are two pictures with Hil!

On Sunday my family and I had lunch at the Wilson's to celebrate fathers day. We made sandwiches, played some Wii, then played some scrabble. It was fun to hang out with my dad for awhile!
