A couple of my Favorite Pictures from Christmas

Merry Christmas!

For the past week I have been driving so much! On Tuesday I took my Dad Dave Christmas shopping and took Danielle to the DMV. The same day we went to American Fork to visit my family who came in from NV. Then Wednesday I went from work to my moms then to my sisters work to my moms then home again. Then Christmas day I went to my Mom's, my Grandma's in Lehi and my Aunt's house in American Fork. I used almost 2 tanks of gas already this week! It been crazy. I can't wait till Sunday where I can sit around my apartment and do absolutely nothing. No driving or anything. But don't let that hold you back from asking me for a ride somewhere because I am always willing to help! I got alot of great things for Christmas! I got Scrabble, my favorite board game, from Jordan, Wall-E, the best movie, from Danielle, I got, alot of bath things and money from my mom and candy, much needed, I got a popcorn popper, and a food chopper and a lot of food items from my Dad, money from my Buelo, A calendar, Scene It, and perfume set from my Aunt Nyla, a griddle with a huge bag of pancake mix from my Grandma, more money from my Aunt Rachel, a beautiful necklace and lipgloss and candy from my Aunt Paula, and last but definitely not least, a scarf, lotion and a Spa Day from David!

Thank you so much for all the gifts! I love you all!

So pretty much I had a great Christmas. I got to see all of my family and I had alot of fun even if my car got stuck in my Grandma's neighborhood and I got snowed in for a little bit at my Momma's house. I love Christmas so much! Everyone is always so happy and cheerful and their is always delicious food like shrimp and smokies at Aunt Nyla's house. I hope everyone else had a good Christmas!

Red hair! What do ya think?

It's been a while. Not much has happened. I went to Nevada for thanksgiving it was fun. I also cooked my own turkey dinner and it turned out really well. I did the potatoes and the turkey and the gravy all from scratch and the rest like the stuffing was stove top and I had canned tomatoes and corn that I served and we bought a pumpkin pie. I also bought that apple cider that comes in a wine bottle. That was yummy. I had a good day that day. Tomorrow David and I are going to Nevada again because my nephew I call him even if he's really my 2nd cousin, he's turning one and they are having a huge party! Serious my Aunt said that over 200 people were invited! It should be fun. We are staying in a hotel in St. George tomorrow night. Yesterday I bought a christmas tree! Wanna see it? Well here it is!

Pretty huh? I decorated it by myself except its prelit lol. It's 4ft high. I love it. So that's pretty much it. I cooked beef stew again today in my crockpot and it wasn't as good as usual but it was still yummy. I also made turkey soup and it was really good! Emilie if you read this I can't view your blog anymore and I'm very upset about it. Oh I also dyed my hair red. It's pretty. Anyway I'll try to take many pics at the party to post more!

Oh ya PARTY!

So it's Sunday. Yesterday was David's Party!! It was a fun time. Dee came over to help me with getting ready for the party. I bought hot wings, chips, and sodas. I also bought betty crocker cookie mix. I cleaned the apartment all nice and people started coming and complaining they were hungry haha. So I put the hot wings in the oven and they were gone so fast! They were eating and watching the U of U BYU game. It was quite loud! I don't really get the whole football thing of course I'm a female so I just served food and drinks. After the 2nd batch of hot wings were gone I baked the cookies! Everyone loved those too and ate them all! There were 2 girls there besides me so the girls would check in on Charlie in the bedroom so he wouldn't be too lonely. Near the end of the game everyone was asking about a cake for David. I didn't get him a cake pretty much cuz I forgot. So Dee and I went to Walmart. The boys asked for ice cream and cake. When we got to walmart I saw the perfect thing! An icecream cake! We also bought some sparkler candles. The game was almost over by the time we got back so we lit the candles and everyone sang! It was cute. Unfortunately there is a tradition with David's friends where when they have a birthday they punch them the amount they turned. They don't just punch they PUNCH! It was awful! They pretty much beat him up and he was defenseless because it's tradition. Oh geez today David is bruised and sore and it's horrible. Next year we are so not having his friends over. So the party went well I think they had a good time. Today We are going out to eat with David's parents for his birthday. I'm going to post a picture of me and Charlie. Oh also today I bought charlie a puppy Kong toy. I put wet food in it and it keeps him very entertained! I love it!

Charlie is Trouble

So I am babysitting my sisters son Charlie for ten days. Charlie is a chihuahua. He is the cutest lil squirt. Unfortunately the lil squirt is not potty trained very well. This morning I was playing with him on the bed and all the sudden he just pops a squat! What's up with that? Well I scoop him up and run to the potty pad quick as lightning! Well maybe I scared him because he just didn't have to go anymore so I thought. Well then he was playing around in the living room for maybe one minute and he starts squatting again! This time I am angry! I scoop him up again and put him on the potty pad and finally he goes. I rewarded him with congrats. I hope he doesn't make a habit of going to the bathroom all around the apartment. He is a whiner. He was whining alot last night. Probably because danielle lets him sleep on the bed with her. The way I sleep by morning he would be a flat pancake. He is very precious but I am allergic. I like him but he is alot of work! I won't see him till like 11:30 tonight poor guy he's gonna be very lonely! Well that's all going on so far. OH David is turning 19 on Saturday and he has invited his friends over to watch the football game. I'm in charge of food. It should be fun. Well I'll post again soon!

Finally!

We finally got our internet back! It was broken and we had to get it fixed. I was mad because they made us pay for it when it wasn't even our fault it broke! Stupid huh? Well it's finally back now so we are good. I'm really happy! I got transferred to the customer service department at discover! I am so much happier about work now it's like a big weight off my chest! I'm also qualified to have benefits now! Everything is great. The only thing I don't like is while I'm in training I have to work from 2:30PM till 11:00PM so that's difficult for me but that's my only complain!! I am really loving my job. So Halloween was so lame! David and I got in a fight that day so we didn't do anything but watch Zach and Miri Make a Porno (it was funny) and then we went to bed. Very disappointing. I don't have any pictures or anything because we didn't do anything. Ya I know it's so stupid! Oh well. Well I'll be blogging again soon!

Horrible Day

So today I had the day off. I decided to go over to see my mom around 5 because I had some bad dreams and she was in them. So as I was driving over there everything was normal. I stopped at a red light and the other cars started going. Then I heard a loud sound and I looked over and I saw a girl get hit by a car!! I kind of just sat in my car for a couple seconds, then I started dialing 911 with my phone but my hands were shaking so bad and I couldn't really dial also I saw other people dialing so I just hung up and got out if the car. I went over the the girl who got hit. She was crying and she looked so scared. She didn't get hurt too bad from what I could see but it's possible she got hurt on the inside because she got hit pretty hard. I asked her where she hurt and she said everywhere. Me and some people just sat there and waited for the ambulance. She used my phone to call her mom. The guy who hit her was trying to say it was her fault that she got hit! He was such a jerk. I told him it was his fault. Then I filled out a police report and I left. I am going to call her in a couple days to make sure everything is ok. I'm pretty shaken up about it.

OUch

Yesterday I got a flu shot at work. It really hurt. It's still kind of sore.

Halloween Pumpkin

I finally carved a pumpkin. I say its adorable. David hasn't carved his yet. Tomorrow at work we are having a costume contest. I'm going to dress up but I know I wont win. Just for fun. Life has been pretty boring for me. Just been working. We went to Nightmare on 13th. That was really fun. Oh we also went bowling with some friends from work too!! I had alot of fun even if I totally lost big time haha. So I had a pretty great weekend. I will post a cute pic of my pumpkin!! Isn't it adorable??

Nothing new really. I have a car now. David's old one. I want contacts now. So I hope everyone is doing well I sure am.

So Saturday was my birthday!! I turned 19! It was pretty fun, first David took me to this museum called The Body Worlds. It shows the different parts of the body. They have real bodies without there skin and it only shows the muscles. It was cool. It also showed actual babies in the womb. That was my favorite part to see the stages of the babies. It showed a huge camels insides!! That part was so cool too!! We were running late after that. We had to pick up Dajana for dinner at the cheesecake factory and we were supposed to be there at six thirty to eat by seven but when we finally got there they said the wait was going to be an hour and forty five minutes!! GEEZ! So me and my friends walked around the mall for an hour then David went back and they told him another hour!! One of my friends left because it was taking so long! So we decided to forget the Cheesecake Factory and head over to the Mayan. That was another forty five minute wait but it was our last resort. We had dinner there and saw the divers and it was pretty fun. I have pictures from the dinner. I had a pretty good birthday!! I really enjoyed it!! So I better make the most of this year because it's the last year I'm a teenager!! SAD! So that's my birthday. I'll post the pics!

Scroll to the bottom.

Oh my gosh I saw the funniest commercial on tv just now so I put it on the bottom of the screen because that's the only way I know how haha. So check it!

Utah State Fair

Ok so on Sunday David and I went to the state fair with Kati (we aren't friends anymore long story) It was alot of fun!! I won a huge basketball and a Unicorn stuffed animal and a hammer blow up AND a little purple frog! I was really good. So we looked at all the art and photography. Then we looked at animals like chickens and bunnies and goats. It was really fun but it was really expensive too! I got to go on ONE ride and it costed me 4 dollars. For one! Also I bought myself a caramel apple and it costed 4 dollars too! Way expensive but it was yummy! So Kati and I decided to go on the boat ride. It's just like the one at lagoon it just swings you and makes your tummy feel funny............NOT!!! This one went so high my butt came off the seat!! I was getting nausous and it was just horrible!! I was so scared I would fall out!! But besides that we had a really good time at the fair. I also went to the driving range that day too. (I think that's what it's called) It's golf by the way. I had so much fun and I didn't do that bad!! I like it. So I didn't get many pictures but I got a few of some rides and me and David and the other girl who was there so here they are!!

My Mom has given me an Award!! I'm so proud!! Thanks MAMA!! I think this is what I'm supposed to do. That's it right above my writing. Yay blogs!

So it's been quite a while since I blogged last. Not too much has happened. I just have been working and working and working. I've actually been doing very well at work this month I have really improved a lot and I'm very proud of myself!! But anyway on Sunday we had the Greek festival!! It was pretty fun and it had delicious food of course! We watched the Greek dancers and we looked around at the things they were selling. It was me David, my grandpa, my dad, and Dajana. David and I decided to get a caricature and it turned out pretty cute!! I'll post a picture of it. Dajana took some pictures too with her phone which is the iPhone and I love it!! But she took pictures so we don't have anything else but the caricature picture. In all it was pretty fun. After the festival Dajana stayed over and we watched Donnie Darko. That's all that's new pretty much. I plan to maybe have a birthday party on my birthday next Saturday. I don't know for sure. But here is that picture.

Hello

So David left for California yesterday. I am sad. I miss him. Oh well I get the whole bed all to myself. He sent me some pictures already so I'll post one of them. Yesterday I played the Sims all day so that wasnt very productive but today I'm heading to work soon then me and Kati are heading to the gym!! Unfortunately I'm worried about gas money!! I'm not sure if I'll make it without dipping into savings but its ok because I get paid again friday. Its a way pretty picture of him with his feet in the water at Newport Beach. I like it. Well I'll post again soon.

Hungry?

Here is the dinner I made last night. It's salsbury steak with Mac n Cheese and salad! It's David's and my favorite so we eat it often. It turned out great!! I was so hungry that I started eating and forgot to take a picture, luckily David hadn't eaten any yet so I got this beautiful picture. I am learning how to cook. I think I'm doing pretty well!

Poor Maggie

So last night me and David were hanging out with Maggie and she started climbing in my hair!! I was like AAAHHH OWWWWW AHAAAHAHA!!! Then she sneezed in my hair!! Gross, anyway, I thought she sneezed because she was mad but then a couple minutes later she sneezed again!!! Then she climbed in my hair and..............she pooped in my hair!! GROSS!! But sadly she had diarrhea!! Poor baby. So she was still sneezing a little so we took her back to the pet store. They said they have to keep her for 2 weeks to treat her and make sure she is better so we can take her home. So no Maggie for 2 weeks. It's kind of good though because they are doing inspections at our apartments tomorrow and they are choosing 25 apartments. If they saw Maggie and Maggie accessories they wouldn't be pleased and we would be charged $50.oo a day till she is gone. So now we just gotta hide her accessories!! I miss Maggie but she will be happier when she gets back.

MEET OUR NEW ROOMIE!!!

HEYYY!! This is our new friend and roomie Maggie. She is a guinea pig!! She is cute. She doesn't bite and she is very sweet. She is really nervous and scared because its her new home and everything but I read she probably wont be totally adjusted for about a week so we just gotta give her some time!! When we first decided to get a guinea pig we were going to name it Joey but the pet store only had girls!! HAHA so I kept calling her Joey anyway but it also made me call her him so we had to find a girly name. Maggie it was. But when we get more money we are definitely going to find her a FEMALE roomie because she seems a little lonely and we arent home too much. We have to buy a bigger cage and they cost about $35.00 so probably next week we can get her a friend. So thats pretty much it for now. I'll keep in blog though!!!

FUN SUNDAY!

Yesterday David and I went to lagoon! We had a very fun weekend!
So friday we decided to go to Boondocks and we golfed and played some arcade. Then Saturday we went over to my Grandma's new house for a barbeque! All my cousins and Aunts were there and I had the best time! We got a ride it Mark's new car and everything! Well anyway after the barbeque we went to the store and bought the Sims 2 game and I play it every night I love it!!
Then yesterday we went to lagoon. It was so hot for the first part. The first ride we went on was the Wicked, I love rides but for some reason this one made me really nauseous! After that ride we went on the big rollercoasters and by then it was getting cooler outside. We say one of my friends there Tatiana and so we just talked to them for a while. David is very fun to go to lagoon with because he doesn't try to act tough on the rides and he will scream and yell and hold my hand! The last ride we rode was the Rattlesnake Rapids!! We got so soaked!!! I wasn't that cold but David was really cold so we went home. That was such a fun weekend!!
We usually just go see movies on the weekend so a change of activity was really nice. We did see pineapple express I believe on Wednesday and that movie was hilarious!!
We also decided we are going to get a ginea pig. We were supposed to go this morning before work but we didn't wake up haha. So now I'm just blogging before work. I better get ready so I'll blog soon!

Just got some graduation pictures! I graduated on June 4th of 2008! It was really one of the happiest days of my life! I had so much fun even if I was nervous the whole time of falling in my sisters heels haha. It all turned out perfect I had the best time and it felt so good. Alot of people didn't think I was going to graduate but I did it! So here are some pictures of the day and a picture of the beautiful flowers my father gave me!

APARTMENT!

So me and David got an apartment. We have been living here for a month now and I love it! We have everything we need as of yesterday when we got chairs for our table finally! I cleaned the apartment all day so I decided to take some pictures. I will post them up!
