I should be fired!

I really have sucked at writing on my blog. It's pretty sad when you haven't been on in a while and you forget your user name and password and have to think about it...It took me about an hour to think about what it was...it might have helped if I wasn't sick so I could concentrate a little better! LOL! What has been happening in the last month or so? Hmmmm....I have been out and about dating some...shocking right?! LOL~ I also helped put together a Multi-stake Turkey Bowl ranging all the way down to Olympia to Bellingham and out from the coast to Bellevue! It was a lot of fun! But definately glad it's over! It took up a lot of time! That with work, school, Church (which that was part of one of my callings) and trying to have some of a social life has made me not want to write a whole lot!!

This quarter is almost done and over with! I am really looking forward to now have to use quickbooks for a while! It has been nice to have my cousin Ester helping me...and trying to convince me to move back down to Utah!! LOL~ Maybe in a year...who knows! I have 4 more classes to take and than I can graduate! YAY!!! I will be taking 2 classes this next quarter as I don't have a HUGE activity to be planning with either the Multistake Committee that I am on or my wards activities committee.

What else can I write?! I didn't do Halloween this year as I didn't have the money, because of all the bills I have and with also adding in two car accidents! I did however finish paying off my mom with my honda civic that I totalled back in september which is one less bill. My back has been slowly but surely getting better...that is when I take it easy!! LOL~

For Thanksgiving I am going to relax and have a great day of doing homework! Fun times! LOL~ I did get invited to my real Father's (Bobby's) but I really don't like the whole Thanksgiving feast and I have lots to do here...I still haven't unpacked all the way....and I was going to go see new moon but I already saw it. I love that movie!!! Well that is about all that I can think of...hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

Sometimes...

I really think the Lord is testing my patience and strength and faith! I got in another accident this afternoon. I am ok and my car still runs it just now has a dent in the back bumper. It's a long story but here is the short version. I was backing up and I made sure no one was coming (as I didn't want to ever have to get in another accident again...the first one was traumatic enough) and was almost completely out I hear and feel a loud thud. The car that hit into me doesn't bother backing up and moving slightly to go park he just keeps going and scratches the entire side of his car, and my bumper more! I told him we needed to exchange information and call the cops! We exchanged information and he left. I didn't know what to do and didn't think that I should call the cops now that the guy had left. So I left...well I learned my lesson! ALWAYS CALL THE COPS! Doesn't matter if the other person left or not....JUST DO IT! This is just one more thing that I am trying to get through! I haven't had my car even 2 months and been in my last accident! A REALLY big part of me doesn't want to drive EVER again!! But I have to! I was barely holding it together and now I am trying even harder! I feel soooooo very out of control with my emotions and everything else in my life! And that is very scary for me!

Almost a month

Wow...things seem so crazy and keeps me really busy! I spend most of my time with work, or school or even with friends. My best friend came almost a week ago and I got to spend some time with her in the two days that she was home for. It was good to see Melanie and spend what little time her and I had in our schedules! I have also been going to the temple regularly and loving every second I am there! I wish that I could spend more time there! I love it there and always feel so revived when I leave. Like I can deal with everything (for a couple hours at least after I leave).

I know that this is short but life is the same (mostly) and keeping me pretty busy! I have to leave for work here in a little bit and still have to finish getting ready! Love ya'll and hope life is going well for ya!

back to school again

So I meant to write in my last blog but I was in a bit of a hurry and most of you know by now...I have a new car. I got it on Sept 5th and I LOVE IT! It is a 2005 Dodge Neon. My fav color too!! BLUE!!! I also haven't written about the rest of my time that I spent with Nicole and Daisy while they were here. I don't have pics cause my SD card is retarted so sorry!!

Thursday: I can't totally remember but I think I just went over to Chris and Allisons and hung out there when I got off of work.

Friday: I had to finish packing some stuff and go and do a walk thru to get my keys. I had to stay at my new place to 1ish for comcast to get internet and the boring local stations. The only channel I really watch is 11 and if I am home for a show or two on channel 5....ohhhh how I miss my DVR and cable!!! (but I can't afford them anymore :-(.) After that I went over and Allison, Nicole and I went and got pedicures. We did a girls day!! Thanks Nicole and Allison!! It was REALLY fun!! And thanks Chris for babysitting!!! Ohh and that night I ended up babysitting Daisy so that Nicole could go to her High school reunion.

Saturday: MY BIRTHDAY!! I turned the big 25...I feel old!! LOL~ As my friend Jordan puts it that if I was lucky I could celebrate turning another of a quarter of a century three more times...Who knows if I want to do that though!! LOL~ It was also moving day! I was well prepared and had pretty much every thing packed so that all they needed to do was grab it and load it up to take. My sister and niece loaded up Allison's car and took it over before everyone else got there so that there would be someone there. I stayed behind to clean up a little. By the time I got to my new place there was only my car and my friend Ethnie's (who also had stayed behind to help a bit). It took ABOUT an hour to do ALL of that...It was great! Thanks EVERYONE who helped out with that. We started to unpack some and made it look somewhat nice. Later that night, Nicole, Daisy, Chris, Allison, Topher and I went to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate my birthday! Allison told them that it was my birthday and they came out with two balloons and about 30 tokens. Daisy was entranced with the figures on the stage and also with a couple of the rides/picture things...Topher also was loving the figures up on stage and the tv thing....

Sunday: I went to Stake Conference and than when I got home Nicole Daisy and I went to Mulkiteo Beach and also went on my real father's boat with him and Beth. It was a lot of fun. We then headed to chris and allisons and we all headed up to Marysville to have dinner with Beth (my real dad's girlfriend) and Bobby. After dinner we headed back to C&A's place and went hot tubbin!

Than I went back to work as usual. I was able to spend time with friends throughout the week to celebrate my birthday and ended up having a BIG bash at red robin on the 18th. It was a lot of fun and was actually a bit surprised how many people showed up...I honestly thought that there might only be about 5 to 10 people but there were a lot more! Thanks! It made it really fun!! After red robin I went over to Jordans with a bunch of other people and we ended up watching the Office off of his DVR (the new one from thursday) and than played 4 on a couch. I think we played two rounds of that...the first one lasted 5 min or so and the other one like 45 min to an hour...LOL~ Than started rockband! I love playing that. I lost track of time and next thing I knew julie was telling me she needed to go home to get to bed...SORRY JULIE!! I got home at 1am and than was up at 6. I went to support Julie at the temple as she was getting her endownments out for the first time. CONGRATS!! YAY!! I ended up having to work after that. I took the 3 kids to the Seattle Aquarium! I love going there and I hope to go more often!!!

I have also been doing some more over time this week and next week. It's been nice to have some extra income coming in to pay on some bills! This sat if it is nice and NOT raining I want to take the 3 kids to the zoo...so hopefully it will be SUNNY!!!

I also started my accounting class yesterday. I am still not sure how it's going to go but I hope I will do a great job...

So far

So Nicole and Daisy flew in on Labor Day (monday) and I was able to pick them up from the airport!! After picking them up we went to the Seattle Pacific Science Center! It was a lot of fun!!

"Cheese Auntie"

Nicole and Daisy putting together a bee puzzle

"Look at me!"
Showing love to each other on this BIG chair!

From across the table

I look tiny at the table!

Daisy looks even smaller!
Mother and Daughter!
How Precious!

After that we went to my place for a little bit and than off to Chris and Allison's to see them and Baby Toph! I have pics from my phone but it isn't working at the moment so when I get them I will post them! Hopefully!! LOL~

Annoying

So every night when I go to bed around 10 my nieghbors diagonally from me are outside by my window with their friends talking a little to loudly but they aren't out there for very long and that is fine...but this morning Iwas RUDELY awaken from the same people at 2 am with them fighting and yelling for 15 min!!!! Than finally te one that actually lives there was like lets do this inside (must have finally realized how loud they were being). But about every 20 min their door would open and close and you could hear the shouting match going on as if it were ot by my window just a tad softer...I think that finally ended around 4 am this morning and they came outside and shouted for about 10 more min before heading to their cars and leaving...I was thankful that it was finally done so I could get some sleep...but no....each time of them being outside for that length made me wide awake and took forever to fall asleep...Now it being about 6:30 in the morning I am now WIDE awake and can't get back to sleep on a SATURDAY no less!! Sorry this was a venting blog cause I am really tired but can't sleep...so frusterating....

Faith is sometimes a hard thing to come by

So this last week I have had a lot of turn of events in my life. ALL starting on Tuesday Sept 1. My day started off GREAT but than went down hill from there...I got in my first wreck ever! Now it definately wasn't as bad as my cousin Jess, and I am truely thankful for that. But being my first BIG wreck it terrified me! I ended up totalling my car, which made my plans for getting a new car around Jan (which I would have traded in my car as part of a down payment with some money too) no longer valid. I do however to get a new car sooner than planned...WAY sooner and not knowing if I can really afford it. Here is a pic of my car:I was lucky though...the parts under the hood look like they are still good...I think?!?

So I plan on selling the parts to help pay for a new car. Than I was thinking that I was making more than what I really am...somehow I thought I was making 50 dollars more a week...Don't know where that 50 dollars came from but I need to have faith that I will be able to do what I have planned...and I will get more into this in a min.

You might be asking how did this happen? Well I have learned that you should NEVER look down for a split second when it rains outside and if you do no matter the weather make sure you have a four car space in front of you instead of a two car...When I looked down the car infront of me wasn't on the brakes...but when I looked back up they were. It was a three car collision....me being the last. So by law it was my fault. However...the car in front of me, not sure if they had hit the car in front of them first or not. But the one in front of me was also (I believe) totalled too as it had to be towed cause the front end was smashed (not sure how bad as I hadn't really moved from where I stood which was up a little by my passenger side door) and the back end was just the bumper fallen down. Also when I stepped on my brakes (as it was wet) I slid a little underneath the car infront of me (which explains why it was just the bumper). Somehow though I don't know how I ended up not under the car when all was said and done before moving the cars over to the side...

I am very grateful that I didn't have any of the kids I watch in the car with me. But I was a total wreck. I was also thankful that my brother was able to come and get me. He happened to have been working close by (bothell and I was in Bellevue which was a twenty min drive rather than about 35 to 40 min...in traffic mind you). Another thing I am thankful for is that I only left there with a sore back which has been getting better as the days go by.

Latter that night I had my hometeachers over and they gave me a blessing to not worry about money, that it will be there, and to continue with my plans that I have about my future. For those few days I felt peaceful and all was good and than today I realize as I was looking at an excel sheet that I was dead wrong on the amount I make and somehow came up with a wrong amount...off by 50 a week! I felt sooo stupid and some people may think that isn't much but really for me it is!!! I have school that I am tryin to pay for, living expenses, and now added on top of that a car with extra insurance because of the wreck I got in...I am REALLY REALLY tryin to have the faith that I need!!!

Than also today I was thinking about what kind of car I wanted...I wanted something in a good price range but now I also want something that isn't a gas guzzler!! I was able to fill up my tank of gas in my civic (about $25) that would last me a week from all the driving I do! I am borrowing Chris and Allison's car and have put in 33 dollars in the last few days...I use about 1/4 of the tank each of the days that I have works...That is DEFINATELY not going to help in saving some money!!!! So now I think I want to have my civic back!!! It doesn't have to be that particular one but a civic with 4 doors!! Or some other car that does great with gas that isn't too pricey with payments!

On other news...My sister and niece will be here in two and half days! I am totally excited!! I have such a fun week ahead planned for me (somewhat that is)! Tomorrow, I need to go get a money order for my new place that I will be moving into, go to costco to get some plates and cups for my wards potluck on sunday, hopefully look at some cars, and finish up (or mostly finish) packing. Sunday is church and visiting teaching and potluck. Monday I get to sleep in a little as it is labor day and I don't have to work. I also get to pick up Nicole and Daisy at the airport!!! Totally EXCITED!!! After that I think we are going to the pacific science center. Tues and Wed I work long days...Date night for both nights. Thursday I work during the day and then that night I think I will be with the fam (meaning Nicole, Daisy, Chris, Allison and Toph). Friday I do my walk thru in the morning and than unload some stuff and wait for comcast to show up so that I can have internet for my online class. After that we (Nicole, Allison and I) are going to do a girl's day and maybe (hopefully) get pedicures!! That night I am going to be watching daisy. Than saturday I move ALL of my stuff into my new apartment!! YAY!!! And celebrate my birthday (since it's that day) at chucky cheese with Chris, Allison, Toph, Nicole and daisy!! So hopefully it will be a GREAT week full of distractions so won't have time to worry...I know I need Faith and am really trying to keep!!

Ward Campout

The ward campout was SOOO much fun!! I am so happy that I went. The first day we got there (wednesday) we went to the lake altogether. I think only one person stayed and took a nap but every one else went. There was 5 girls that went swimming and like 13 guys....we all stuck together, which isn't normal and so it was nice. Same thing on Thursday too...It wasn't until that night that everyone started to kind of go into little clicks...which is fine.

Thursday night, though, Rikayla, Annie and I went for a walk and we had been told that there was a cougar and a bear and something else loose somewhere. I had forgotten and I think they had too until one spot where we had sat down to talk we heard a growling sound. It freaked us out and decided to go back to the campsite. My heart thumped soooo hard! I was TOTALLY scared!!!

Friday night we had a Dance lesson and than danced after the fireside! It was alot of fun!!

Surprisingly though I only took a few pics on the first day...

Annie and I rode on Rikayla's car when she got there to where she went to park...thought we would get a pick after she parked!!

Playing around the world Ping-Pong

Wowee!

Life seems to keep going with out me realizing the days! I told myself I would be better at keeping everyone up to date, but I haven't!! LOL~ So where to start?!?!

About a week and a half ago I had the opportunity to watch Toph and spend one on one time with him!! HE is just sooo cute! It was my brothers birthday so Allison and Chris went on a date and while they were out (about 10 min before they got home) some of Chris' friends showed up to surprise him. I was going to stay but I had just had my 2 wisdom teeth taken out (almost three...long story...). Toph and I had gone on a little walk out to my car to get one of the birthday cakes and then back to the apartment. He slept for about 40 min or so and than ate. After he ate I tried to burp him for a couple of min and it didn't come so I started to make noises and faces at him to get him to laugh and smile...it worked and then he finally burped and I wasn't very quick with it so it landed on me...after a while I wanted to see what he would do if I put him on his tummy...Allison and chris had told me he had rolled over the night before and I wanted to see if he would do it for me...HE DID!!! Toph really didn't like being on his tummy but loved being on his back listening to me make noises and faces at him...and he would copy the noises...or at least try too!!! It was TOTALLY cute!!!

(this was taken July 21)

Than that weekend Chris and Allison went out of town and I house sitted for them...it was nice to stay there for a couple of days, but I also realized that I was very self conscience. EVERY noise or sound freaked me out...I would get up and check the doors to see if they were locked and the windows closed...I'm not totally used to being in a place at night all by myself with out my dog or a room mate...and I had neither. It made me wonder about me moving in less than a month! I know after awhile I will get used to it but I am still scared, but really excited about it too!!! LOL~

2 weeks ago (Aug 1st), I went to the Kenny Chesney concert!! I love him!! He is one of my favs, but there were a few other of my favs there too!!! There was Lady Antabellum, Miranda Lambert, Montgomery Gentry, Sugarland and Kenny!! I love all of them!!! I am sooo happy that my friend Kerry asked me to go with her!

Me and Kerry drinkin our fresh squeezed lemonade
Kenny Chesney!!!

Kerry lookin at me wierd!! But I love this pic even though it is taken with my cell phone!

Let's see what else has been going on? The hike and hoe down went well...I was the only YSA that is on the committee that was able to go and almost didn't go cause my jaw was still killin me as it was the same week that they got pulled and my jaw getting yanked back and forth to get the lower one out but alas it is still in mouth as they didn't have enough grab to pull it out...so one left to get out!! Anyways...I went with my friend Aryn (pronounced Erin) and Carrissa up to Cascade park which is owned my the church up by marysville. Aryn and I didn't stay for the dance as she had some other place to be and my jaw was killing me!! Carrissa was able to get a ride home so she stayed. All in all it turned out great!

My wards campout is this week. I don't have to work tomorrow and is why I am up writing this at this late hour. I am getting my room somewhat cleaned and I am getting packed to go camping but also to move too...The only day this week that I work is on Tuesday which will be nice...I am really excited to be going!! I wish that I was able to go camping more often!! I love camping!! I just never have anyone to go with and no time to do it!!

After the campout I still have a busy schedule ahead for me! LOL~ I know I complain sometimes that I have no time to do anything, but I bring it on myself (95% of the time). Because I am on the North Seattle multi-stake I get to help plan things for about 4 wards. It's nice. For Novemebers activity we normally do a Turkey bowl where we invite not just our multi-stake but a few others to participate in (so it turns out to be a BIG turnout) and we do it at the Husky Stadium at the UW. Well this year I am charge of it!! Hopefully it will be a great success. So now that the campout is almost done I will be focusing on that, an online course starting Sept 21 in accounting (not sure how that is going to go...), AND working some overtime the last two weeks in Sept and some in the beginning of Oct. Now I definately know that it is my fault for being that busy as I think I have a problem in saying NO. I like to please people...make them as happy as I can cause that it what makes me happy...(most of the time)....But I am actually loking forward to the challege and the adventure that comes with it!!

Another thing that is going on...My extended family (or some that is) on my mom's side are doing "the biggest loser". I wasn't going to participate in it as I don't have a whole lot of time and no longer have my gym membership as it was getting to be a bit much than I could afford. Well than my sister talked me into it. The new apartment complex that I am moving into has a little gym and I plan on using it, but that won't be till September. So I have decided that even though I won't be able to use that till I move there are other things I can do...like watch what I eat (no going out to eat very often), eat more fruits/veggies, and go walking more often...so that is what I am going to do... I am hoping on not only losing weight but committ myself to getting healthier. I HATE looking the way I do and have been trying to lose it but then get side tracked and will end up doing a roller coaster of my workouts and eating habits...But this time I am going to try harder and committ myself more to it. I am not big on committing myself to things that are longterm normally. There has been one thing that I have committed to and I think that I have done a pretty good job on that one thing so now I think I can add in one more and work on getting myself where I want in health and weight-loss!!

time flies so fast sometimes!

So this last few weeks have been a very big roller coaster! I have been able to spend some time with Chris Allison and Toph!! I love being able to go and spend time with them and to play with Toph!! I get to babysit him on Chris's birthday and am totally excited about it! I have also been looking for a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom and found one!!! I am getting the key and walk through the day before my birthday and moving everything on my Birthday (sept 12)!! I am totaly excited about that! A birthday present to me!! LOL~ Than a week ago on Wed, I took Hershey to her new home!! It was one of the absolutely hardest things I have ever had to do!! I knew I would tear up but wasn't expecting to ball like a baby infront of the person that was taking her...but I did!! It is better off that she is with this family cause they have a yard she can run around in and people who are home to play with her....where I am rarely ever home!

Upcoming things that I am looking forward too....

Sept.
*Me moving to my new place
*Nicole and Daisy coming

Aug
*Babysit Toph
*KENNY CHESNEY CONCERT!!!!
*Halls Lake Ward Campout
*Hike and Hoe Down (multi-stake activity)
*Getting one of my Wisdom Teeth takin out (cause it be hurtin...)

I have things to really look forward to in the next two months! I can't believe it!!! In about a month and a half I will be 25 too...I feel really old with nothing to show for it (or at least that is how I feel but know that it isn't really that true)! Life is going good (for the most part) and am trying to be happy and positive!!

4th of July Week

So this last weekend has been amazing!!! Friday I picked my mom up from the airport at 11:30 at night. Sat I dropped my mom off at my brother and sister-in-laws and went paintballing!! It was alot of fun...probably would have been funner if I hadn't been as tired as I was. After paintballing the eight of us that went went and jumped into the river...5 of them ditched and didn't tell us where they had gone but thouhgt that we knew which we didn't...that part was still really fun!! After that I went home and got ready and let my dog go potty. Then went over to Chris and Allison's and spent time with them and her family that was staying there too (Allison's parents and her two nieces). Chris made me promise to go to the fireworks with them, even though I am not a fan of fireworks anymore...Well mom was getting really tired so I ended up going home (YAY!! sorry!!). Sunday I went to Chirs and Allison's ward for Toph's baby blessing and then spent the afternoon/night hanging out with everyone (including my grandparents, Bob and Beth, Mom, Chris and Allison, Toph, Allison's two nieces: Sammy and Caitlin, and Allison's Parents: Gayle and William).

Monday I went to Bellevue to the Deseret Bookstore with mom and then to Seattle and did a little bit of the tourist thing. Like Pike's place market and then met up with Allison and Chris and her family to go see some of the exhibits at the Pacific Science Center and to watch Transformers...which Toph only being about 10 or 11 weeks now did REALLY awesome and watched most of it with out crying! I was very impressed!! And that night I let Allison's youngest niece (Caitlin), paint my fingernails...

Tuesday I woke up at 2 am and searched frantically for my retainer cause somehow I took it out while I was sleeping...I thought it was kinda funny...but when I tell the story it doesn't sound as funny...LOL~ I couldn't really get back to sleep and had to be up in a few hours to leave to take my mom to the airport anyways...It was nice having my mom here and wish that they lived closer. I was able to go home and lay my head down before I had to get up again and get ready to leave to meet up with my grandparents. My grandma and I went to the temple and than to lunch! It was nice to spend some more time with them! I am soo happy that they were also able to come this last weekend!

So it had been a busy weekend and thought that NOTHING could have spoiled it...well than while I was at Walmart my room-mate calls me and tells me to get home cause Hershey had eaten 7 or 8 IB Profin. My room-mate had left them out on the floor with her back (apparently) zipped up and Hershey had gotten into them and ate all of them!! So I had to take her to the ER for animals and spent 4 hours there while they made her vomit and then had her eat some charcoal and they also gave me some medicine to give her every 8 hours. Luckily my friend Julie is helping me out and staying with me so that Hershey gets her medication on time...I have had to either go to meeting after work or couldn't get off earlier to get there in time to do it myself!

I am trying to give her away now as much I don't want to, but she is lot more work and money than I was planning on and the way life is going right now I don't have the time or money to keep her! If I don't find someone before I go camping than I am going to have to put her down and that is a LAST resort that I DON'T want to do....

Now that the June Conference is over I am trying to get all the Thank you cards out and sent to those that helped and then I will totally be done with it! And now my ward is starting to put together the ward campout!! I am soo excited to be apart of it and help put it together! I wish I had more time to go camping than just to the ward one but I am thankful that I get to at least go once a year with them...

This last week

So I was crazy busy with getting things done. From work to last minute stuff for the Western Washington YSA Conference. Today is actually the last day (but I am not going to it, as I have already travelled down to Tacma 3 times and did not want to do a 4th. Plus I wanted to spend time with Chris, Allison, and Toph). I had to make 400 black and white copies and 14 color copies of workshop schedules and maps for this conference. Didn't realize that my copier would take as long as it did, but I got it all done about an hour and half to two hours before I had to leave to go down to Tacoma. Friday night was such a GREAT night!! I got to meet Kirby Heyborne and Corbin Allred!! I have a pic with Corbin but it isn't the greatest pic because it is with my phone and the pic that I have of kirby is on one of my friends camera. So here I am with my friend Kerry and Corbin Friday night!!!

And then yesterday was amazing as well!! I was running aound helping out and the workshops went better than I could have hoped for!!! I have to get ready for church now so I hope every one has a great day!!

craziness

I don't think that I will ever have a non busy life! LOL~ Cause when I get done with one thing I have to try and find something else to occupy that time lost. Anyways...my summer schedule is crazy!! I have the June conference that I am getting stuff done for...which that will be over with this month! YAY!!! But I am working about 60 hours. 40 in about 4 days (tues-fri for Bernard and Lynda). Mondays is about 8 hours with my other employers (Yong and Julie) and then Thursday nights with Yong and Julie, too. Between 4 to 5 hour date night. Somewhere in that time I will be working on a on-line class, trying to spend some time with friends and my dog.

Hershey, my dog, her poor eye swelled up today after chewing on a bone (not even twentyt min after I took it away from her). I am not sure if she has another absest (spelling is probably wrong on that word) tooth or she might be allergic to the bone?? I haven't given her one in a while cause it swelled up the last time and then went down. Although this time it is a LOT bigger than it was. So I hope and pray that before Sat (cause that is the only day I can take her to the vet) that is goes down and that it was just the bone...but I am pretty sure that it isn't the case...LOL~

I am however greatful for the extra hours that I will be getting. I will be making just a tad bit more so that I can hopefully pay off some bills, save for next quarter, save for a graduation trip to Hawaii, and maybe even get a new car in Novemeber that has ALL wheel drive so that when it does snow I won't be stuck in my apartment or at my employers' houses...We will see about that though...I love my car and it gets me to the places that I need to get to but when it snows it doesn't help me out at all...and I am worried about that. It was nice when I lived with my employers cause I was there and able to work but because I no longer live there it makes it harder and not as convienent (spelling?!? sorry!!) to get to work and then I am out of pay for the time!

I don't remember if I remarked in my last blog or not but I am done with my english 092 class (well not technically but I already have my final grade and don't really have to go to class since I don't have a final test). I am proud of the grade I have and am actually surprised with it!! An 85%!!!! I suck at english...well the grammer mostly so I was very empressed at how well I did!! This next quarter starts up in a couple of weeks and I will be taking a keyboarding class (online) to help build speed...you can always improve on that, right? plus since I don't work at a place where I type all the time my speed typing has gone way down. So hopefully I can build it back up to where it was if not faster than that...we will see..and it is part of my requirements for my AA in office managing!!

Well I have to get to bed...it is another work week starting tomorrow...I feel like I didn't get a weekend...sad days!!! Hope everyone has a GREAT and eventful week planned!!!

Blessed :-)

Since I have gotten my endownments out I have felt so blessed!! The only thing that keeps me sane is knowing that I have made time in my schedule to attend a temple session!! So far I have been able to go once a week and it has been amazing! I love it!! I have also been making time to see my Brother, Sister-in-law and Topher as much as our schedules let us! He is getting so much personality and he is just the cutest little nephew I have!! Here is a pic of him looking at me (it's a close up) from Sunday night!

I am sooo very glad that I only live a few min away from them! It is great that I get to see them more. I should have made more of an effort before Toph was born, but sadly I didn't...Sorry guys! Now we just have to get Mom, Rai, Nicole and Daisy to move here so that I can see them more too!! Daisy is getting to be such a cutie pie too!! I talk to as much as I can and she is getting to that age where when I call she knows when it's me and wants to talk (about 80% of the time). In the next couple of months I have lots to look forward too!! The June YSA Conference will be done and over with by the end of this month and I will be able to stop stressin over it!! Heather's brother Taaron is getting married (sadly I don't have the money or vacation time to take off to go down to Utah for that!! But congrats to Taaron and Charlee!! I am totally excited for them! Toph will be blessed in a month (July) and my Grandma and Grandpa Nelson, and my mom (not sure about Rai, but hopefully he'll be able to come this time) will be coming to that. My ward is having our campout in August which I am looking forward too!! Then in September Nicole and Daisy are coming for a week and they will be here on my birthday which makes it that much better in turning 25!!!

My summer schedule is crazy busy with work and school and some church activities, but I am totally looking forward to it! I am able to save some money with the extra work that I will be doing and hopefully by Novemeber I will be able to afford a new car with All Wheel Drive. The wnters where Bernard and Lynda live is crazy and annoying cause I get trapped in or out of the nieghborhood with the car that I have now. And it's also annoying and frusterating in putting and taking car seats into and out of a two door car...I need four doors!!

For this upcoming school schedule with work I am still not totally sure how that is going to work as both of bernard and lynda's kids are going to be in school and so my hours are going to get cut in half. But I will be watching Julie and Yong's youngest for sure!! So hopefully I will get enough hours and pay to pay bills and live on my own. So we will see. Well I should get goin and get to bed since I have to be up early...Hope ya'll are enjoyin the BEAUTIFUL WARMTH AND WEATHER!! I sure am!!! I am sooooooooo happy that SUMMER is HERE AT LAST!!

Got my endownments!

So I have been extremely excited, nervous, scared, stressed out, but mostly excited. I got my endownments taken out yesterday and am totally happy about it! I look forward to the next time I go to the temple. I totally forgot my camera and thankfully Leilani is a GREAT friend who remembered it and took these pics...Me coming out of the temple

Me looking at Leilani while her snapping the pic!

The group of friend who came to the temple (2 of them waited outside for me)

Chris and Allison at Dairy Queen afterwards...

My mom was there to but we didn't get a picture of her....I am THANKFUL to all those that came to support me in this whether they were there in person or in spirit! I have to go but I will write more later!!

TOPHER JAMES NELSON

My nephew was born last night around 7:30pm. He weighed 7 Lbs 10 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long. Here is the cutie pie!!

Isn't he just prescious? I think so!!!

When I left to go home I ended up loosing my license, debit card, my costco card and also my gym card. I was almost home when I realized it! I couldn't believe it! I turned around and called my brother (which made me feel horrible cause he just had his son and I didn't want to bother him). He said he couldn't find it which made me freak out even more! So I when I got back to the hospital I looked at where I had parked (another car was in it's place), and lo and behold it was still on the ground!! I was SOOOO extremely grateful!!

Craziness of life

It is amazing how life gets when you don't really pay attention to whats going on and your so focused on life. With being on the 3 different committees, school and work, I don't have much of a social life. That part is sad because by the weekend all I want to do is be by myself and not be around anyone. I want to hide. But I forced myself last Sat to go out with my room-mate, Julie, Skyler and Casie (and two of their friend and brother) to go shooting and I am REALLY glad that I went!! I had an AMAZING time!!

Julie givin me some love!! LOL~

Shooting.

Than Sunday night I had to go to a meeting for the June Conference. I was really wantin to skip it cause I was tired from the lack of sleep that I had the week before and just not in the mood to drive an hour down to tacoma. But I am really glad I went! I wasn't expecting to see anyone that I grew up with, but when I walked in I heard someone yell out my name. I looked up and I saw Tabitha Mudge and Brother and Sister Wilcox. I have known them for years! Since I was 8 or 9 I think... Tabs family and mine had become close...they are like a second family!! So it totally made my day/week!!!

This week I was hoping to be an auntie again (and even though there is still a few hours left, I am still hoping!!), but to no avail I am not. Hopefully soon though!! I am getting REALLY excited to have one close by!! I was also really busy this week. I had school monday night and then went over to President and Sister Walters to work on the multi-stakes talent with dancing with brooms for Sat. Then on Tuesday I worked late. Wednesday I was suppose to go to school but I started to feel sick so I went home and got some stuff done and then went to bed. Thursday after work I went over to Tara's to work on the Poy Balls that her and I will be doing tonight on the last song and after working on that for a little bit we went over to the Shorten's to work on the talent again and work on the broom dance too...It was a GREAT night!! I think it will be an AMAZING show tonight!! Last night I went home after work and took my dog on a walk and then ran to costco. I also made some stuff and then was in bed I think by 10. I wasn't feeling very good and still somewhat don't. I hate getting sick and I seem to get sick ALL the time...at least once a month it seems like....it sucks!! I have like no immunity built up!!!

I haven't worked out for awhile which sucks cause I have like no motavation in the mornings...I'd rather sleep cause I can't seem to fall asleep before midnight lately...and then trying to get up at 4:30 (have to be up by 5 anyways to get ready for work and than leave by 6ish area). I want to leave early enough to beat traffic so that I can work out before work but I would have to leave by 4:45 if I'm going to work out...yeah it's hasn't worked in 2 weeks....Maybe next week will be better and I will feel better too!!

Today I have a lunch date with Aryn (my visiting teaching comp) and Natalie (the visiting teachee)! They are such awesome girls! I love my route! And then around 3:30 I have to head down to North Seattle to set up for the talent show and then do the talent!! IT should be an AWESOME day today!!! YAY!!

New Hair...and other things...

This is a side view of my hair.



















This is the back view of my hair.

















Front view


















The top/back view













This is me and Michelle! She came up to show her parents around and came to see me! She served her mission here in the Everett Mission!!!

So I know...

Lately I have just been posting these silly questionaire things, but sometimes I think that they are pretty funny and cool and mainly cause I don't have a whole lot to say. Life is keeping me busy and I really enjoy it for the most part. I started back working out this week (after not going for about 2 weeks) and it has been great! I went Friday night with my friend Leilani and I actually did weight lifting (which when I go in the mornings I don't do it cause I hate going downstairs where they are at the gym in Kirkland that I go to, so I always stay upstairs to work out). Needless to say my muscles are a bit sore from that work out but it was really good! Leilani and I are now going to be working out just about every Friday night (which works out perfect since fridays are one of the hardest to get up and get going for me since monday thru thrusdays I am up at 4:30 and don't get home and to bed till really late...)

School started wednesday for me and I think I will like this class and hopefully I will do well in it. I am so horrible at english and grammer that I am not so sure how it will go but I hope and pray that it will be good!! That is about all that is new with me! I still keep busy with work and my church callings and school! That is about my life for awhile...hopefully something new will come along!

Things that I am looking forward to though that might make a change: Getting my hair done on the 10th, my friend Michelle is going to be here in Washinton and I get to see her on the 11th, Service project on the 18th, Multi-stake talent show on the 25th with visiting teaching lunch date with my companion and one of our teachee's, my nephew coming sometime in April...hopefully the day he is suppose to be due!!! My mom coming in May!! Lots of exciting stuff!!!

Starting to worry!!!!

So I start my english class this next wednesday and I ordered my book about 2 or 3 weeks ago and haven't gotten any word that it is in so about a week ago I checked online to see if it has been ordered and waiting for me at the place that I had it shipped to (the north campus cause it's closer to my work...) but it said that it was on back order and that is why my account hadn't been charged...so I thought that I would have have it by now too!! Well needless to say that it is still on back order!! What am I going to do when it comes time for me to be in class and I don't have my book??? So needless to say I am starting to freak out and not sure what I am going to do!!! AHHHHH!!!!

It's always the pits when your sick

So Tuesday I woke up with one of those headaches that I get when I know I am starting to get sick and I hate those!! I figured that by taking my vitamin C, I would be good...but the headache never went away and yesterday I still had it, but with the headache I had no energy to do anything...the kids that I watch ave been sick all week too...but towards the end of the day Elsie had some and I had very little. So today Lynda and I thought I would take a sick day. Good thing too cause now I not only have the headach, but the feeling of throw-up (like it's going to happen and then it doesn't...), no energy, and a sore throat. I hope that by sleeping it off during the day today that I will be better tomorrow!!!

Spring is in the air and I am REALLY happy about that! I just hope and pray that there will be NO MORE snow!!! It can come back here nex winter but not till then!!! And hopefully next year's won't be too bad!! LOL~ Anyways...hope all is well with everyone and that you won't get sick!!!

"What some guys do"

So when I get home I can post you some pictures from what Heather's boyfriend did at my apartment to welcome her home and to wish her a Happy St. Patty's day! But I thought it would be a little bit creepy but with my help and Annie's we helped troy so it wouldn't be so creepy!! It turned out really cute! I even thought it was way cute by the time we were done!

So this week and last week I am have been lame! I haven't worked out in about two weeks! I have been so exhausted without having any sleep in watching the puppies or cause I haven't been able to fall asleep when I didn't have to watch them. But I plan on doing it for sure next week! I better or I will be mad at myself for getting a new membership to a gym. 4:30 in the morning is tough to do but it is the only time I have. Especially starting April 1st!

So starting April first this is going to be my schedule. Sundays is church and anything to do with it, Mondays I work and then I have class at night, Tuesdays I will be working late for Lynda and Bernard, Wednesdays I have class at night and Thursdays, depending on which one, I will either be working late for Julie and Yong or at a multi-stake YSA activities committee...Fridays and some Sat are like my only nights free...I feel bad for Hershey because I won't see Hershey those days except for when I get home and get ready for bed! I am such a horrible mom to my dog! If Bernard and Lynda weren't allergic to dogs I would have asked them long time ago if I would just bring her with me!

Well I have to get back to work so I will let everyone go! Hope everyone has a great day!

The last week

So this last week has been an odd one for me. Heather has been out of town and I have had the place all to myself! It's been great for the most part. Meaning mostly quiet and I can relax when I am home...the not so pleasant part is the lack of sleep I've gotten cause of the puppies barking and playing in the night, the smell...after 20 min of new newspaper and clean bedding for the pups it starts to stink up again...not as bad but it does...and then at night to I have both of the girls. I love both of them to death but they had to be touching me at all times while in the bed. It was hard to move around without having to push them and make it awkward. Last night though it was funny because one of them...not sure which one decided to get out from under the blanket and lay on my feet on top of the blanket. That mad it awkward but sooo funny at the same time! I love those dogs even though I get soooo frusterated with them! LOL!! I am so very happy Heather comes home tonight for those reasons AND cause I missed hangin out with her too!! LOL~

Gold and Green Ball

So I used to love going to dances...not so much anymore (well with in the last year or two) but I had to help set up for the Gold and Green ball that a few multi-stakes were participating in. It was actually pretty fun. Not many showed up from my ward but it was still really fun! Here is a picture (which I look horrible cause I was leaning in but looks like I am sloutching).

There were a few more people from our ward but I didn't see them and some of them aren't in my ward but we all knew them and come to visit!! Needless to say that the Ball was really fun and entertaining! I heard from lots of people that it went good and I am glad that it did!

In the last 20 years...

I got this from my cousin Amy on Facebook and thought I would do it! It is sooo hard to think of what to write and what I did in the last twenty years. I can't believe sometimes how time flies and that I am now old enough to say that I was alive twenty years ago! Crazy!!!

New Blog...

I started a new one because I started to get weird comments from total stangers...like "you rock my wolrd". Not knowing who that is I decided to do this one...and the fact that I haven't been on my other one in a while to write. So things with me are basically same ole' same ole'. I am still single and loving it. I have two callings in my church that collide with one another. They are both on actvity committees. One is just in my ward and the other is one that combines with other wards. (I am a stake rep in my YSA ward for the activites that happen with in 5 stakes total). It keeps me pretty busy but I enjoy it.

I start back at school on April 1st whcih I am really looking forward to!! I took this last quarter off since I didn't have the money to go and I was alittle bummed out about that but that is ok since I have to do what I have to do to be on my own!! I will be taking an english class, sadly it isn't english 101 cause I'm not that smart in it but I will hopefully get better and next english class will be english 101...

I am still working as a nanny. I am on my 4th year with the one family I have been with since I started and a little over 6 months with the other family I work with! Other than that...life is life...here are a few pics to end this blog...
