Random-ness of the Day

2012-03-01T16:47:00.000-07:00

So... I am "working" right now... but I thought I would blog about some of my wants, seeing I am going to Vegas in two weeks for some R&R. Minus this trip was originally to see Celine Dion, well she decided to cancel on us.. little skank. Apparently her right vocal cord is tired and they have requested that she take time of till June.. so I guess I will just have to wait a bit to sing and dance to Celine Dion with, Celine Dion.

So... I made a deal with dear Wendizzle aka my Madre, not to shop till I left for my trip, that was the beginning of January. So a deal is a deal and I have been holding out.. so here, in picture form.. is some of wantings of my little heart. I can hardly wait for this, I do love my trips to Vegas!!!!

Also... I know I can't buy them in Vegas... but I NEED to see Coldplay in concert, just once.

The End.

Date 17

2012-02-21T13:36:00.000-07:00

So... this was a super random hang out that turned into a date.

He let me pick the restaraunt... Texas Roadhouse of course.

I love me some meat and it is just sooooo good!!!

So we went TRH,

chatted and bantered back and forth,

I love it, it was da best!!

Then we went to my house too make muddy buddies and watch a movie.

Then... I left the room for just a minute and I find my date on the couch chatting with my family..like they had know each other for forever!!

I was impressed with it for sure.. we ended up hanging out with my family most of the night.

Eating muddy buddies and watching Hog's Gone Wild

{I highly recommend it}

Then we watched Nacho Libre and just talked.

Needless too say this date went super good.

Date 16

2012-02-18T07:52:00.000-07:00

So you know when people are nervous and don't make eye contact?

Yeah.. this was that date, the whole night.

So I tried too loosen him up a bit by doing the lamb voice I can do quoting Babe, and the chant the lambs do.

Yeah it didn't really work out.

But we got indian food.

Went to Barnes and Noble.

(I found a cat puzzle I am in love with.)

Then went and saw a movie called Chronicles.

Annnnddd.... that was it.

Sad To See You Go

2012-02-11T09:55:00.000-07:00

I didn't know if I should post on facebook, so I thought I could post on my blog. Last night I found out of an old friend who passed away. I knew he had been struggling and I tried to reach out too him awhile ago, but never heard anything. Tanner, you will be missed, you had an influence on SO many people around you. I will always remember coming over too your house in Saint George and you making me kool aid and just hanging out in your room while you and Jare played Maden, or whatever that football game is called. I will always remember working at Eddie B with you and always talking about Yumi, and how hilarious she was. And I will always remember you giving me the best hugs, just meaningful and full of life. Thanks for taking care of me down at Dixie, you helped make it a good experience because luckily I had a friend like you down their.
Until we meet again Tanner.

Heart to Heart

2012-02-03T18:14:00.000-07:00

I need to have a venting session here peeps. Because, A. I need to let this all out somewhere B. It is my blog so I can do whatever I want/ say whatever I want.

-First off I can not tell the difference between to and too... I am struggling here.

-Stupid Boys... seriously, we have been on five dates, you text me, then you don't. You take the time too tell me how awesome that date was and then follow up with texting me. Then you disappear for a few days. Are you interested are you not? Just be flat out honest here, then I will be fine either way.... So I guess what I am saying is I HATE not knowing. I hate bad communication and not being up front. If you are figuring things out fine.. but let me know if that is what you are doing or if you are just busy. Because this girls mind, LOVES to over analyze... way too much. {Did I use the right to?}

-I work in the medical office, if you want to get help don't be mean on the phone. I am always MORE then willing to help people who remain calm and kind. If you are rude, I will still help you but I will not go above and beyond too assist you. I am sorry this may sound rude but when you take over a 100 calls in one day, plus checking in patients, plus other tasks, you kinda get worn out with people telling you it is your fault if they die.

-I dislike confrontation and high stress situations.. but I love awkward situations.

-If you are going to leave your children in the waiting room for 3 hours BY THEM SELVES... don't be upset that I told them that if they colored on the furniture or walls that I would call the police. They were taking off their shoes rubbing them on the children's toys, asking me to change the channel, continually trying too sneak by me and opened the locked door, and stealing all of our appointment reminder cards.

-But alas friends.. it really is all good, this weekend will be fun, just like I made today a good day with hellian children, because I got them back, oh I did. I made them watch the stock market. Straight up.

Date 15

2012-01-30T15:55:00.001-07:00

This is a rare date where I am actually going to post a picture of my date, but how could I not, he is kind of adorable! And we did have a joyous time getting jamba juice and watching a Junior jazz game.

Kind of Obsessed.

2012-01-30T13:25:00.000-07:00

Kind of obsessed with this song... Love it, wayyyy too much!!! That is all.

Date 14

2012-01-22T16:17:00.000-07:00

My super cute friend Alison was talking about a group date she was doing.

So I told her next time, you let me know and I am in!!

Well Alison is kind of on top of things.. she called me the same night and said we found you a date are you in?

Of course I am!! And my friend Rina too of course,

so we met at Alison's apartment she shares with two other roomies, a few other people showed up (including our dates

Mine, a 32 year old half Asian who develops buildings....owns his own home.. worked at LDS Hospital as an IV guy. So he was really nice and extremely established. It was a Hawaiian theme dinner which consisted of Pina Colada's, Hawaiian Haystacks and this yummy cake after.

After eating we all went bowling, when my true colors do show of, well, hyper-ness.

My date later asked while bowling if I was drunk, which I replied no.

And he said, Are you sure because I am really hoping that is the case... which I again replied, no I never have been.

Then he told me "I don't know if I can handle your enthusiasm."

Um..... I still don't know if he was kidding or not.

Haha I love meeting new people, but this is what dating is.. some guys are going to like you, some not.

Which is fine, this narrows things down and helps you figure out what you want and what they essentially want.. which evidently is someone who doesn't cheer even when you miss.

Reading it Up...

2012-01-21T17:33:00.001-07:00

So... I got this book mailed too me. (Random story, which I will tell later)
And I have been reading it and has okay some of the advice, hilarious in fact, it is weird getting it from a guys point of view. Dating and how too work it.. but when I find stuff I like on here, I will add a few comments too the blog and we will see what happens.. but don't think my blog is turning into a dating blog, it is not. But if you are single and want life too move more forward into the dating someone phase what is the harm in reading a book?
Now what did they say on Reading Rainbow, like check it out and see for yourself? Or Read On!!! Haha I don't know.

Date 13

2012-01-09T14:39:00.000-07:00

So... I went on Date 13, with a guy from my singles ward.
He is kind of a big deal... Sunday School President and he is 28.
My little sister's boyfriend, wanted too line us up, I said I was down for it, I mean why not?
He is a super nice guy, who is really tall, and he has a deep voice.
So.. I get a call Tuesday night from this guy too go out, I asked my sisters boyfriend if he had talked to him... and he told me he hadn't, so this guy just got my info, maybe from the ward directory and called me too go out.
So we planned for Friday, he said he would call me on Thursday with our exciting plans...
So Thursday rolled around and we planned on going too dinner and going ice skating.
So Friday, we went to Gecco's for dinner, went ice skating, and got hot chocolate.
This guy was sooo nice, I am glad I am making friends in the ward for sure.
The End.

Date 12

2012-01-05T08:38:00.000-07:00

So.. last night went out with Jaxon,

a super nice really, really smart guy from American Fork.

We went and saw Sherlock Holmes.. A-Maz-ING.

Oh my loved this movie, and it is totally fine,

that was the second time I saw it this week.

Good date.

Great movie.

Ringing In The New Year

2012-01-01T08:48:00.000-07:00

Eating Food.

Dancing in gas station parking lots too Hold On.

Then continually random dancing at every gas station on Holladay Blvd.

Taking pictures at overly decorated homes for Christmas.

Continuing the dancing at the U,

with a little bit of country and a little bit of... well, everything else.

And too finish of the count down too the New Year having some guy dip me down and try and kiss me,

when instead of a kiss he got a screaming girl who grabbed his throat.

Happy New Year everybody!!!!

Date 11

2011-12-29T08:24:00.000-07:00

So date 11 happened last night....this guy...I haven't met before, so prior to the date their was a bit of texting back and forth too get a feel of how this date might go down, from what I could tell he was sarcastic. So this pleased me, maybe just a little bit. I met him downtown at Stoneground (can I just tell you how much I love mapquest, finding this place without it would have been a challenge.) Anywho.... LOVED Stoneground we shared a Chipotle Chicken Pizza and talked and talked and talked and talked. Mr. Nick or Sir as I liked too call him is a business kinda guy who just moved back to Utah after traveling for awhile working around the U.S of A. He loves music, movies and history. And he has ginger tendencies, but only in his beard.

So after dinner we walked out too the parking lot and he suggested if I was up for it getting hot chocolate that we should, um.. .yes of course I am. So we got hot chocolate and talked alot more about our families, communication and the lack their of, and kinda what we are all about. So once we realized we had been talking for 4.5 hours.. we though it might be time too call it a night and we may have also came to that decision because the coffee place was closing.

So this date... super fun, Mr Nick aka Sir was super cute (even if he had ginger tendencies in his beard) and I loved talking to him, so don't even worry peeps, he has already asked me out for a second date... we be going to see Sherlock Holmes.

P.S. This was my 100th post... kind of a big deal.

Date 10

2011-12-15T13:13:00.000-07:00

So.. here we go, we are 1/5 done with the dating game. Impressive right? But maybe not really... Which is fine too I have fun doing all of this so far. But I went out with Steve and he is building his town house in Draper right now.. he works for some techy company and he is 30.
Luckily he had the idea of a group date.. so I grabbed my friend Rina to go with us with one of his friends. We went to Italian Village (I miss the 70's motife of the place) and just sat and chatted... he then told me he couldn't date anyone under 23 and I was like uh.... I am 22.
Needless to say he was a bit surprised.. haha but he quickly changed his answer to 22, smooth Steve.
It was fun, good, and I liked the food.

Advice

2011-12-05T14:32:00.000-07:00

I just wanted too share this message, my cousin and my sister both posted it on facebook. So I decided to watch it because both girls are extremely spiritual and amazing examples to me of being Christlike and excelling in the Gospel.
This devotional brought me too tears and I was filled with the Spirit, I hope that anyone struggling with anything in life watches this and feels the same comfort I did. I am so blessed and grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I know I have my struggles.. I sometimes lack faith and question why this is happening too me. But my Heavenly Father and the Holy Ghost confirm too me yet again, how everything works out and how truly blessed I am.

Date 9

2011-12-01T12:47:00.000-07:00

This date made me giddy, seriously, giddy.
So.. it was a blind date and I met him at Salt Lake Burger Company.
He is 6"5 seriously.. I love me tall boys and in business attire, yes please.
Our waitress knew it was our first date, so she was all excited for us, she was seriously adorable...
So we ate and chatted... it was fabulous... two and half hours later we decided it was time too leave seeing they were trying to close the restraunt.
But it was so so fun and he is a hard working motivated guy. Who is attractive and has a dry sense of humor and actually laughed at my jokes.
Kinda hope their is a second date.

Date 8

2011-11-29T12:39:00.000-07:00

I have know this kid for what, 10 years?
And then he asked for my number after running into me at a Halloween Party
I was flattered and surprised.
We started texting and then he took me to dinner.
We went to Denny's
And it was way fun super chill.
We are still texting and have plans to hang out again.
Sweet deal yeah?

{LOVE}

2011-11-23T16:05:00.000-07:00

My family is hilarious... just saying.

I've Moved

2011-11-05T15:28:00.000-06:00

Yep.. I have moved.

So random, so fabulous...

Last Sunday my good friend Em texted me telling me "hey my friends house has an open room and I thought of you," she gave me the info and I called Libby and went and saw the room.

I LOVED it, a room all too myself, in cute SLC area with great roommates...

So of course I decided ahhh yeah of course I will move in.

So I have moved.. and I live in a cute old school home with green walls and super nice roommates that are already showing me new foods... good, I was hoping to gain weight.

Plus I live 2 minutes away from Bridget and other friends.

This is going to be magical.

Pictures too come soon-ish.

Date 7

2011-10-22T11:03:00.000-06:00

SO.. it is the Halloween season,

so of course our date would consist of celebrating this fine holiday.

It was a group date consisting of my sister, my cousin, myself and a few others.

These guys in our group were HILARIOUS... seriously.. loved it

We carved pumpkins..

Had pumpkin cake and root beer with dry ice.

Told scary stories.. of things really happening around in the Salt Lake area.

The story we ended up talking about was this guy who was in a gang and his family didn't know that he was {he was from the Salt Lake area} and one night he was shot and killed and his father was so upset that this happened, he and his son had a very close relationship.. so every night he goes to his grave and just prays for a few hours to find peace.

So naturally we decided to go to the Salt Lake Cemetery and check it out... the first time we went in our group was being slightly loud so the rent a cop in his ghost busters car drove up too us.. I didn't hear what he said because I took off.. {I don't know why but for some reason I always run when cops are around, bad choice}

So part of our group decided to distract the rent a cop and so as they were distracting them we ran into the cemetery. We were sneaking along trying to find the spot.. hiding in the shadows.. when one of the guys was like do you see that... of course I couldn't I have bad vision and it was dark so as we kept inching forward a man came out from behind a tomb stone and yelled at us saying "What are you doing here?"

I of course freak out and start running but I wasn't running very fast, my feet hurt and I didn't want to fall in an open grave {like my date did} and I really didn't want to step on a tomb stone... I look behind me and he is chasing us.. well actually he was chasing my sister and her date.

But still it was way freaking.. I was so scared.. I started running zig zag and turned to my left and freaked out thinking that was the guy, called him a d-bag only to realize it was my date.. oops.

So we run back too the car and the guy is standing right their just watching us.. my sisters date says... he has my keys..

I guess he dropped them when he yelled at them and the guy picked them up.. wow, perfect then he started running towards us.. but don't worry they knew the kid and had planned the whole thing.. it was pretty legit. And then I fell asleep.. but it was way fun and super creative.

Happy Halloween.

Date 6

2011-10-08T11:35:00.000-06:00

Date 6 was fun.

It was a group blind date, my sister and I were set up by one of our cute co-workers.

So we drove down to Provo and of course Aubrey and I got into such a deep conversation we realized our next sign said Manti... oops.

So after turning around and back tracking a bit.

We went to cute Lisa and Sean's apartment and made dinner I made a dessert, that of course I found on pinterest.

{Toffee Fudge Bars.. basically amazing.}

Then we ate dinner, my date is an IT dude, graduating from BYU this April and he had a leather jacket all the other guys in our group that night wanted.

After dinner we went to Wal Mart and played the Wal Mart game where you retrieve 10 things from the store switch carts and then try and put everything back.

Unfortunately we lost... but it is okay, I was still entertained as IT guy almost took out Wal Mart bystanders too try and win.

We went back to the apartment and played Quelf and ate my way yummy dessert.

Definitely way fun!!!

Precious Moments

2011-09-29T18:31:00.000-06:00

Last night I came home after working a really long day and my little cousin, Baby Z was over at our house, we were babysitting him while his parents went out on a date.

Z was super fussy and super tired, so I offered to hold him and try and get him too fall asleep, I snuggled up too him and just kept walking back and forth and bouncing him. After a few minutes he fell asleep, so I kept walking around, just cuddling him up in my arms. Thinking about how precious this little guy is and how much I love him. It was right then, that I knew I WANT to be a Mom, I have always know I would be a Mom, but I have never though, oh, I want to have my own babies.

I have always been content with just playing with other people kids and then handing them over when they are fussy. But little by little it has been building up inside of me and last night was that ah-ha moment.

I love little ah-ha moments, the ones that make you smile, get goose bumps, and feel super warm inside.

And that is exactly what it was.. I realized I can not wait to be a Mother, to have children and take of care of sweet little babies with my husband. I am so excited for it, it makes my heart so happy thinking about it.

After a while I laid Baby Z down too sleep and I laid right next too him, just in case he woke up.. I ended up falling asleep as well and my Mom came in and saw me and Baby Z next too each other asleep and she told me she can't wait to be a Grandma, and I would agree I can't wait for her to be a Grandma either.

Date 5

2011-09-24T15:43:00.000-06:00

So... everyone should feel lucky because this one get's a story with it.

So date number 5 was with a cop, yes a cop from Austin, Texas.

Who happened to dance for Ballet West a few years ago.

Crazy random combo.. yes I would agree, but seriously.. one of the nicest, happiest guys I have ever met.

Me and and the Cop had been chatting for awhile.. and he said he was coming up and would like too take me out on a date when he got up here.

I was all for it, I mean he is kind of a stud.

So we set it for Friday... when low and behold I go to the Salon I work at and it says I have a client on Friday, 4:45.. with just a name and no phone number.

So their is no way I can call this Robert fellow and change the appointment because he left no number and I was supposed to be going on a date with the Cop at 5:00.

So I let the Cop know that he will need to come later.. I have a client.

He was fine with it and said he would be by a little bit later to pick me up.

So I was finishing up with my sister when I hear some commotion coming from the front of the Salon... one of the other stylist comes back and says your 4:45 is here.

And it is the Cop, with flowers, he wanted too book me out to make sure I didn't schedule a client and surprise me at the salon.

So we get ready to leave and he had rode.. a harley,

yes a Harley Davidson Motorcycle over to the salon and said well, you ready.

Umm... motorcycles are scary but I said okay.

And he was nice enough to bring me a nice pink scooter helmet.

{Which at one point I accidentally head butted him while wearing my very attractive helmet, he was not wearing a helmet.. so I am sure he enjoyed that.}

So we went to dinner at Lone Star

We played Miniature Golf and made lots of That's What She Said jokes.

Then got Cold Stone ice cream.

And then too finish off the night we went on a ride on the bike.

Seriously so so so much fun and he was so nice and charming and funny.

It was a good date, for sure!!!!

I guess that is why we are going out again on Monday.

The Sev

2011-09-20T20:42:00.000-06:00

Tonight was a Sev run too pick up some slurpies.

And you are almost guaranteed some entertainment in your evening when stopping by at the Sev

tonight was definitely no different...

As we were leaving the fine establishment, a nice black gentleman sitting on the sidewalk in his shirt and tie. Started chatting with me.

He {black guy} asked how my night was going, I said good how is yours. He replied by saying good, then following with.. do you go running.

Which I replied, yeah, I do and he said;

you got thick legs.. and I mean that in a good way {because I started laughing}

he followed that up by saying I was just saying you got really nice legs!!

So I said thank you and he said have a good night and I told him too do the same.

Thank you black man sitting on the sidewalk and 7-11 for making my night.

Livster's First Dance

2011-09-18T16:52:00.000-06:00

My little sister is growing up... and going to her first dance... with little Tyler.

They looked so cute.. seriously love it.

Plus I did a killer job on her hair and make up...

I think I should do hair.

Yep... I will.

Date 4

2011-09-17T20:37:00.002-06:00

This one was a cutie for sure..

Tall, blue eyed; blonde boy

Who is an administrator for a hospital

He travels

and makes fun of me.

And loves sushi as much as I do.

And were able just to talk, without any awkward silences...

I would go on a second date with him.

And just that fact alone makes my heart happy.

Date 3

2011-09-17T20:35:00.000-06:00

So... date three was yet another lunch date.

I am officially loving lunch dates because

A. They are short so if they are good you know their will be another one.

B. If they are not so good, it is a free lunch and you are out of their in 40 minutes, tops.

The boy I went out with was super nice,

motivated,

hard working,

and giving a kidney to his Mom.

Needless to say I was impressed with him... I would definitely say we could be friends...

So yeah, that was it with him. But I will say I love what I am learning on all these dates {although I have only been on three... I still take in alot and am learning.}

Which is always good.

3 down.

47 too go.

Date 2

2011-09-15T19:06:00.000-06:00

Lunch Date

With a Private Investigator

Who rides a Motorcycle

Eating Sushi...

Meh...as my friends in St. George would say,

it was semi.

But he was nice, that is all.

The End.

Date 1

2011-09-06T10:04:00.000-06:00

Are you already impressed?

I already got date numero uno under my belt.

So yesterday {Labor Day} I went out with Mr. JPhelps...

Our date started at one in the afternoon, he said this was going to be an all day adventure.

I was totally down for this, I mean this Mr. Phelps was entertaining already and I had never even met him..

Yep, that is right, this was going to be a blind date.

An all day blind date.

So I met him at his house, and don't even worry he was definitely a cutie and I was introduced to his brothers and girlfriend who were coming with us.

So we took off and went to a jump on it place {which p.s. I am scared of trampolines}

We jumped and such and I even did a front flip.. don't worry he was impressed by me over coming my fears of the trampolines and foam pits.

{Which I could never get out of those foam pits... ever time I jumped in I would plug my nose... not necessary and each time I tried to get out these women watching their children along the wall would laugh at me as I struggled to get out of the foam pit whether it was rolling or swimming or just trying to move all the freaking foam squares. I am glad I could entertain them.}

Then the accident happened

luckily not to me, but Mr. Phelps brother.

He did a flip but kneed himself in the head... so they refunded us all our money and said come back again but because of his injury they wanted us to peace out.

So Mr. Phelps and I went and got Polish Dogs.. loaded with special sauce and banana peppers

which were amazing.

We chatted about music and where we have traveled and what we do for work.

Then we went back to the Phelps residence and changed and took of to Boondocks where we played some mean Laser Tag and did the Go Cart Races.

{I destroyed in each of these... totally dominated}

We then all piled in the car again and drove to Wal Mart to pick up the necessary ingredients for our Mexican dinner.

We cooked it all and chatted

ate some dinner.

Watched this video... oh my I could die.

So hilarious and we just kept laughing about it the whole night.

Then we watched Scott Pilgrim Saves The World

and laid on the luv sac.

Seriously so so so much fun...

It was a freaking 12 hour date and I loved it.

50 {First} Dates

2011-09-06T09:45:00.000-06:00

So... in Relief Society we were discussing choosing to be happy and being pro-active.

A girl in our ward made the comment on dating, she said she went to BYU and Snow College

the two schools you are bound to find a husband at...

But unfortunately for her, she had not found a man yet.

She said it finally dawned on her though.. she had to be proactive in finding an e.c. {eternal companion}

She couldn't just sit at home, watching chick flicks and eating chocolate ice cream.

She had to be making an effort and putting herself out their.

So she decided that she would go on a 100 dates in a year...

Once she had decided that, the dates started flowing on in, and she successfully met her goal.

So I thought.... huh, I want to do that.

So here we go... but instead I am doing 50 dates before my 23 birthday.

And I will blog about each one, just to keep track...

I am excited about it and hopefully {I am sure} this will be entertaining.

Yoga

2011-09-01T13:33:00.000-06:00

Welp... tonight is the night, I start yoga.
I am a bit nervous... we {Bridget and I} are doing it at Bikram Yoga
I have heard some intense stories about this place...
But I am SO excited.
Updates later on if I appreciate it or not.
But yay to being fit and healthy... and one with myself.. or something like that.

My Hair Is Gone....

2011-08-25T14:11:00.001-06:00

It is gone... remember how in my last post I was thinking about growing it out... yeah that didn't happen.

Instead, I got an adrenaline rush and cut it all. off.

For reals.

I cried after the adrenaline was gone... I had an anxiety attack...

But now.. it is growing on me.

I will post pictures soon, but i am not a huge fan of the self portraits...

not my thing.

So I will wait for some real nice in the moment pictures to come, then I will post those.

Just a quick thought... or thoughts.

2011-08-21T21:32:00.000-06:00

So...I have almost been home from Africa for a month now... and I miss it so so so so so much. I actually missed my card board pillow and cement mattress last night. I long too be their again in the convent with the nuns and the scary dogs barking out my window and bats flying right outside my door.
I miss those little kids so so much and I have missed the service I was able too do their. I guess that is why I am applying to Guatemala next year!! Cross your fingers I get in!!!
I might grow out my hair.. it has gotten thicker since high school. So I figure why not.. and their is extensions to make it thicker.
Last night was hilarious.... my tailbone hurts so bad!!! And now I have a black, literally black bruise on my butt. I officially love escalators now... last night is definitely in my top ten moments right now. Thank you Brooke and Bridget for sharing it with me.
Dating is silly....
This week I hit a year mark for being officially divorced... this is a huge milestone and I am so glad I have reached it.
I love the movie Something Borrowed... seriously makes my heart happy.
I am SO excited to start working out again.
I feel re-motivated in my work.
One of my best friends get's married this week to her high school sweetheart... well done JEN!!!!
I heard exactly what I needed to hear in church today... it remotivated me and strengthened my faith.
I am so grateful for a father who has the priesthood, that is such a blessing.
Life is good, it is hard work at times and confusing but it is good.
Welp, that is all!!! Peace.

My Experience in Africa

2011-08-10T17:50:00.000-06:00

Hey peeps... so here is the blog I did for the organization, Youthlinc, that I went through to go to Africa. I did a post on our experience please just click {here} to view it enjoy!! More pics to come.

I miss them, alot.

2011-08-07T10:27:00.000-06:00

I miss my babies.. Alot.

I'm Home

2011-08-01T12:27:00.000-06:00

I am home.
I made it back from one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my life.
It was mentally, emotionally, and physcially exhausting.
But I loved every minute of it, completely, and whole heartedly.
I learned so much on this service trip.
I learned about me.
I learned I have asthma.
I developed an ulcer while I was their.
I witnessed some of the most amazing spiritually uplifting experiences ever.
My testimony has grown so much.
I miss the people of Kiamori, so much.
I loved the experiences with everything I am.
All the hard work was worth it.
So now I am home, and grateful for every little thing I have, I am blessed. We are all blessed. And we should be happy with what we have because the people of Kiamori are happy with what they have... and they have a whole heck of alot less.

{Pictures and More to Come}

It's Time For Africa

2011-07-11T11:54:00.000-06:00

It's here... this week I leave for Africa. I am so excited and even more excited I get too experience this with my sister. I will miss talking to my family and friends. But I am SO ready to go and loose myself in the service of others!!!

{Sooo... cute right, and I get to spend two and a half weeks with them. It is going to be magical.}

Taking it To Heart

2011-07-08T10:44:00.000-06:00

A heart is not a play thing,
A heart is not a toy,
but if you want it broken,
Just give it to a boy.

Boys they like to play with things
To see what makes them run,
But when it comes to kissing
They do it just for fun.

Boys never give their hearts away
They play us girls for fools,
They wait until we give our hearts
And then they play it cool.

You will wonder where he is at night
You will wonder if hes true,
One moment you will be happy.
One moment you will be blue.

If you get a chance to see him
Your heart begins to dance
Your life revolves around him,
Theres nothing like romance.

And then it starts to happen,
You worry day and night
You see, my friend, you're losing him
It never turns out right.

Boys are great, though immature
The price you pay is high,
He may seem sweet and gorgeous
But remember, hes a guy.

Don't fall in love with just a boy
That takes alot of nerve.
You see, my friend, you need a man
To get what you deserve.

So when you think that you're in love,
Be careful if you can
Before you give your heart away
Make sure that hes a man.

You Never Know....

2011-07-06T13:02:00.000-06:00

Life is full of surprises... I think I say this A-LOT.

But it is true you never know what to expect and what is going to happen. Regardless of how much planning you do. Like take for instance my 4th of July weekend. My guy came up to go camping with my family. He made sure he made it up here. He started driving and his car broke down, so he FLEW here. How sweet is that?

But... alas as sweet as he is/ it wasn't meant to be, we broke up. It sucks. I am sad. I wasn't expecting it. at all, I really saw all of this going somewhere. And now I am left a little confused and helpless.

But everything happens for a reason, only my Heavenly Father knows where I am supposed to be and why things like this happen too me.

So I am trying to learn from this, because I truly believe that every person that enters your life is for a purpose whether to help you grow or for you too help them grow. I am trying to learn lessons from this experience and grow into a better person.

But until I realize the lessons I needed to learn I am going to keep busy I have an amazing family and great friends. Who have already been their for me and are keeping me way busy. I love them and appreciate their support and love.

So now I am going to go out on Summer 2011 with a bang!!
Who's with me?

{And here is just a sneeky peek at what I got going on!!}

Africa {ONE week away...Ehhh!!!}

Keys On Main

Boating

Swimming

Drive In Movies

LOTS of Food

Shopping

80's Dancing

Possibly California

Maybe still Louisiana{crossing my fingers}

Camping Trips

and

{2} of my best friends weddings.

oh...

and my birthday.

Hizzaah for Summer and learning from unexpected changes.

Bring it on.

The Unexpected

2011-06-28T13:24:00.000-06:00

Life is definitely not what you expect...

I have learned this first hand,

numerous times.

And it continues to happen too me over and over again.

I am dating this boy, totally unexpected, and totally the best thing that has ever happen too me.

He makes my heart happy.

So how does this tie into the unexpected?

Add and I have been friends for FOUR years... and now we clicked?

Crazy how things happen, but I wouldn't change a single thing.

Memorial Day Weekend = Magic

2011-05-30T21:03:00.000-06:00

It was that good, that is all.

Peace.

A Good Laugh

2011-05-24T19:09:00.000-06:00

My family.. is out of control.

So what we put our dog in a garbage can and make him have piggy back rides and dress him up like a gangsta... it keeps our Sundays very entertaining.

Probably my most favorite... Mickey and my Padre.. so classy.

Today is Good, Real Good.

2011-05-13T11:16:00.000-06:00

I officially love today. Why, you may ask. Well let me tell you, because their are lots of reasons.

I get Jimmy John's today for FREE at work... I guess something about our AR being at 14 days.

Whatever it means, it works for me, I get free food!!!

Today it is BEAUTIFUL, I am wearing shorts and flip flops... seriously perfect weather.

I am in LOVE with it.

I got my favorite eyeshadow that I have been missing and they discontinued but I found it, it gives me a "sunkissed look"

This weekend shall be fabulous for many reasons:

Uno: Tonight, I get to hang out with my family, I love it.

Second: I am going to this fine building tomorrow and am oh-so excited, it is much needed.

Thirdly: Since I graduated from COLLEGE... we are having a BBQ in my honor and having some of my favorite fixin's for a BBQ and Hello Dollies... mmmm. I heart food.

Fourth: I am going to clean out my car

And Lastly but CERTAINLY not least: I get to see a certain boy in 13 days and I am SO excited.

{Even though I just saw him 8 days ago, I feel it has been too long already.}

I hate sea food, from the ocean that is.

2011-05-10T12:31:00.001-06:00

Last night... I went to Joe's Crab Shack for dinner on a date.

I thought I liked sea food, apparently I don't like all sea food.

I HATE crab and lobster.. and occasionally shrimp.

Reasons... it is not very good.

The crab and lobster look disgusting.

And my date told me Lobster is the cockroach of the ocean..

wow, super yummy.

And although Mattew Mcconaughey can make eating crab and lobster look oh-so-hot on How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days..

Guys eating sea food, is not attractive at all.

So although I recently learned, I don't like ocean sea food,

I still like fish, you get from a lake... and tuna but that is it.

Day 30 {A bit late, but better late then never?}

2011-05-06T10:16:00.000-06:00

Day 30: A photography of yourself today {this is pretty recent} & three good things that have happened in the last 30 days.

Three good things that happened in March through April and part of May... hmmmm.... I don't know. Good things happen to me on a daily basis. I am grateful to be alive, to live in the United States.. {for the most part} To be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. To have a family and to have friends {especially ones I was able to see again, that I haven't in a long time, I have missed you all and am so glad too see you again} To get letters in the mail from one of my best friends and my number 1 buddy. To have not one, but two jobs that I love, to be completely done with school, I am still amazed I finished. I can't believe I did it, but I am so happy I did. To have the opportunity to take road trips, for the opportunity to go to Africa.
I am truly blessed with great things and great opportunities and I love the people I have met along the way. And that months can go by without talking to them or seeing them but I am able to catch up with them and it feels like no time has passed since I saw them last.
I have great parents who have pushed me too do my best and not to settle, I am grateful for the growth as an individual I have done... I am a person who will never stop changing I am constantly getting to know me. I am so happy I have this time to do that, that I am truly getting to know me and what I want and not settling ever again. That I can pick and choose and be honest. I love it and I love the ah-ha moments I have that make me realize things... that are truly important to me. Life is fabulous, and I am going to have a fabulous time living it.

{The End}

Thoughts of the Day

2011-05-02T22:58:00.000-06:00

I have a few things on my mind, that I thought, where better to be written then on my blog. This is completely my opinion and some people may not agree and others may agree. It is whatever, but here it goes.
-Well Bin Laden is dead {it seems pretty legit this time} and people around the world are so very happy about it. They are throwing parties and posting facebook statuses, this has been something so many people have been waiting for for ten years. 9/11 was a tragic time, it destroyed so many lives... and we finally got one of the masterminds behind the attack that left American's in such fear and chaos.

I read so many of my friends facebook status updates {like I said before} so many said things about him finally being dead, that he was going to burn in hell, he got what was coming to him.... all in all their was a lot anger. Although on this occasion I did not update my status with the masses. Only one status really captured what I was feeling, me personally:

"I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."

-MLK Jr.

That pretty much sums up my feelings on the events of it all, I don't want anyone to think that I was mad that they were mad at Bin Laden and are glad that he finally got what he had coming.. these are just my feelings on the situation. I hate being mad in general I don't like being angry or holding grudges. I know the sacrifices SO many people have made, I have had dear friends make those same sacrifices, 9/11 struck a cord in everyone. It will never be forgotten, nor will all the lives of so many we lost. So thank you too all the amazing troops out their serving and the everyday heroes of America who continually show what a true generous loving serving American is and how we are.

On a lighter note:

The cute sister, in the middle... yeah she WON for Sophomore Class Officer today, people love her and are drawn to her. She has such a sparkling, yes I said sparkling personality... she is a friend to everyone. She is one of my best friends. I cried when I found out she won because I know she will make a HUGE impact on the school. I love you Livs, I am oh so very proud of you!!!

San Georghe!!! O-lay!!!

2011-04-27T22:31:00.000-06:00

Our family went hiking at Zion's and my cousin Ashley came with her baby Noel, her and her husband were nice enough to let me and my sisters stay with her for the weekend. I am already so excited to stay with them again when I go down in June!!!

Me, Ash, and Liv

My Mom being a straight up Ghansta.. she makes 50 cent look like a poser.. she is legit.

And don't worry the sights of Zions were amazing as well.

I think Anna should seriously consider become a forest ranger... this Asian family was feeding the squirrels their crousants and so Anna {as she was coughing} said $100.00 dollar fine.

I guess she was right because we found the sign later... super impressive cousin.

Sisters... so cute.


Me madre and padre... so sassy

Our family went to Dixie Rock... more then half of our family has a fear of heights so it always makes for an interesting experience hiking... and my Dad was cute enough to give my Mom a piggy back down part of the mountain so she didn't ruin her sandals.. Adorable and I was super impressed with his strength.

And what is a Saint George trip without shopping

which as you can tell my Dad LOVED... so much.

We know how to load on the good food

which of course our trip consisted a lot of eating.

And swimming/skim boarding

which Josh and Kev picked up so so fast.

Josh wants to go down again and compete...

Apparently he thought he was that good that fast.

Aub and Kev.. aren't they seriously the cutest thing ever!!!

Me and Addison

And I was lucky enough to see Addison this weekend. He showed my family how to skimboard, he is kinda a big deal in the skimboarding community. And I am lucky enough to be his friend haha!!

But seriously he is sponsored and such and I got to spend most of Saturday with him and I am SO excited to see him in 3 weeks. I can hardly wait actually. If you want to see his mad skim boarding skills and also him puncturing his lung click {here}

You will also probably see his amazing dancing skills.

Gabby and me

And to finish of the trip we went to Kolob and saw the beauty of it all on Easter Sunday.

Our family is classy, classy as cats.

The End.

Until Next time.

Please be soon,
I miss Saint George already.

Homework with the Sibs

2011-04-26T17:50:00.000-06:00

I was working on Gabby's spelling with her.

So we go through every word

I read the word she spells it.

The next word was SINGLE

So Gabby started spelling it...

M-E-A-G-A-N

Thanks Gabby,

super awesome of you too remind me.

Hilarious... haha.

A Conversation with Gabs

2011-04-20T13:23:00.000-06:00

Gabby aka {Gabs} is my little sister

She and I are identical

In more then our looks...

Personalities too, but her's is a bit more extreme then mine.

And she is SO much smarter then me... and she is not even in junior high.

Today Gabs called me at work, this is how our conversation went:

Me: Hello?

Gabs: {Pretending to be this guy named Trevor} Rambling on...

Me: Hi Gabby, what's up?

Gabs: Nothing just calling, what are you doing?

Me: I am working

Gabs: Are you sitting at the salon?

Me: No I am at M West

Gabs: Oh.. so you are tapping stuff?

Me: Yep

Gabs: Did you get Cafe Rio today

{At my work every Wednesday different companies bring us lunches for free}

Me: No they brought us Rumbi

Gabs: OH!! Can I have your left overs?

Me: I will think about it.

Gabs: Okay.. what are you doing?

Me: Gabs, you already asked me that question.

Gabs: Oh yeah, haha I forgot.

Me: Haha you are fine, I will see you after work okay

{Here is my FAVORITE part of our phone call, this happens regularly when you talk to Gabby.}

Gabs: Okay I love you

Me: Okay I love you too, have fun.

Gabs: I will, I love you, I will talk to you later.

Me: Okay love you bye.

Gabs: Okay love you bye {she barks} [Inside family joke]

Me: Okay bye.

Gabs: Okay I love you.. talk to you later, more in my head.

Me: Okay bye.

Gabs: Bye Love you....

I think she loves me... I have the cutest little sister!!! She is out of control, I will keep her though.

Randomness of the FB

2011-04-15T11:59:00.001-06:00

This post is SO random..

{And I know I need to finish my 30 Day Challenge, I will}

But...

Facebook,

It is the best

and..

It is the worst.

Then...

their is the random business.

Like last night for instance

Random friend request,

I thought she does not look familiar,

but maybe we went to high school together..

maybe.

So I accept her friend request, just so I can see who she is.

She is my ex-boyfriends new girlfriend.

And other then that I have no idea who she is.

Quite honestly... if I don't know who you are, I am NOT going accept your friend request.

And I have a feeling the only reason you added me is because I previously dated your man.

Sorry, but I don't feel like having you fb stalk me

when the only thing we have in common is the guy we dated.

Haha ... of facebook.

and the words of wisdom that are given to us by our leaders of the Church.

I am also so grateful for Joseph Smith,

who at the young age of 14 prayed to find out what church he should join

and was told none of them.

And what came forth was one of the greatest blessings I have ever known in my life.

I am so grateful for his sacrifice and bringing forth the Gospel

and the Book of Mormon.

I am a proud member of the LDS church.

I am blessed every day from it,

I have a testimony of the gospel.

I know the Book of Mormon to be a wonderful thing,

and I know that reading this book,

it has strengthened my testimony.

I love this gospel,

I LOVE my family, they are simply amazing.

We have all been through a lot, but we have been through all of it together.

We have laughed and cried and gotten in fist fights together but it is fabulous with every up and down, twist and turn. And every other sparkle and glittery thing that happens.

I know I don't see them all a ton and some not all. But they will always have a special place in my heart for what they added to my life. I respect them and hope that they are happy and living life to the fullest... but knowing this bunch they are doing just that.

And I hope I can do the same for her right now. She has been by my side and I her's and we have been through the ups and downs of the last two years. I know this girl is a life long friend. She is an amazing sweet person with the best of intentions. She is willing to listen and understand where you are coming from.

Day Three My dream date
so, my dream date. i have thought about this alot today, and i dont know what i would do on a dream date. i could say it would be going on a road trip together or eating at a favorite restrauant or going on a hike. anything really, for me i am easily entertained so i can do anything and have fun. what really counts is who i am with doing these activities.

now to me, that sounds like the best date ever.

peace

2011-03-09T16:51:00.000-07:00

so, my life is good real good.
this past week has been complete peace for me,
maybe it is because I was sick for five days and watched every nicholas sparks movie i could find on net flix and was able to just sit with my sisters.
or it could be that spring is here, well almost
it also could be i got pictures in the mail from the cutest boy
and it may just be that i have only been listening to fm one hundred.

but in all honesty it may be that my life is getting back on track. that i am happy and content with where i am and who i am with. even if it is just me and my family playing bs and slap jack.

it is no secret, and i have never been ashamed of the last year i just chose to keep it to myself. some business i feel shouldnt be plastered everywhere for the world too see, i still like the idea of mystery behind people.

but it is true, i am someone who has been through a divorce after only six months of marriage. did i wonder why this happened to me, yes.
was i embarassed, yes. was i scarred of what people would think, yes. did i ever think this is where i would be, did i ever think i would be one to get a divorce, no, definitely not.

but i had a great support system and i know i made the best decision for myselfi knew my happiness was important and i was not going to let that be taken for granted. i know now that my divorce was a trial i had to go through to grow in ways i could only with could onlu grow by having those things happen.

and now i finally am content, it took nine months but life is moving i have always been a happy person but even more so now. i am grateful for everything i have learned.
i have a deeper appreciation for the gospel and my savior.
i am improving in areas i lack, so someday i can be the best wife mother sister daughter and friend i can be.
i dont let people walk all over me, well i am trying.
i know who i am and what i am about and what i need and what i am looking for.
i appreciate my friends and family oh so much more.

life is good i love it i know there are ups and down but they are all worth itthere leading me to where i need to be even though sometimes it confuses me... it will all be good.

love meagan

I LOVE Vegas...

I-MAN

2011-02-14T18:24:00.000-07:00

This is Issac, this little guy I had the AMAZING opportunity in nannying for the past two and a half years.

I absolutely love Issac, I love the way he knew who I was, and would wrap his arms around my neck.

I loved how he would snuggle up to me when I held him.

And I LOVED that he knew the sound of my voice and that I knew how to make him smile..

I love Issac and always will, he will forever be in my heart. I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to take part in his amazing short little life. He is in a better place now, he is with his Heavenly Father and his sister Macy. And I know he is happy, but I will miss him.

I know everything happens for a reason and I know I-man has found peace.

I love you little guy tell Macy hi for me.

Love, Meagan

This Is Love

2010-12-18T12:09:00.000-07:00

If this doesn't say love, I don't know what does.

My parents have been married for 23 years, and are still so in love.

I have been so blessed to grow up in a home, were I was able to witness, the love, friendship, and partnership my parents share.

Not only have I seen it through there actions and the love they show for each other, but also that they have had 5 children, and I would say have done a heck of a job raising us together.

I love my Mom and Dad, and love seeing them STILL falling in love with each other more and more everyday.

They are amazing examples of what you can accomplish in a marriage, it is what someday, I will have as well, I know it takes work, but they are a success story.

So Mom and Dad, here is too you, you love birds, Happy Anniversary, thank you for being in love and showing it.

Love, Meagan.

2010-11-18T17:04:00.000-07:00

Those of you who read this, haha the few (love you guys.) Know that I was out of the dating scene for over a year.... so now that I am back in it, oh my lanz!! I feel handicapped when it comes too dating, don't get me wrong I love meeting new people, having awkward moments, and all the free movies and food and what not. But seriously it is draining and it is an emotional rollercoaster... but you know what, I wouldn't change a thing. I love it and I love that I get another chance, next time, it will be a home run!!!

Love Mugz

A Few Thoughts

2010-10-20T14:25:00.000-06:00

So, here is a little update from my brain. Enjoy!!!

I LOVE Reese's Puff Cereal, I don't know why I had never tried it before, but I have now and I am addicted.

Okay, Val Kilmer, do I care he is like over 50, no. Do I realize he doesn't look like this anymore, yes. Do I care? No. Seriously he was in his prime in the 90's and I am in love with Val Kilmer's 90's self.

Other bits:

I just got called into nursery, and I am so excited!!!
I make headbands, all the time, that is all I do.
I am almost done with school
I LOVE my family and friends
I have become remotivated in all aspects of life
My best buddy left for Panama on Monday, and I wont see him for 22 months
Another friend gets home in three weeks
And my very best friend, leaves on her mission in 3 and a half weeks.

And Lastly

I saw Fun. last weekend, which was fabulous.

AND... I get to see MotionCity Soundtrack this weekend, with some of my best guy friends from the SG.

That is all!!!

The End.

My Life is CRAZY!!

2010-10-11T18:01:00.000-06:00

So maybe I haven't posted in awhile, but it is because I have been having a crazy good time with everything going on in my life. So here is a quick little update, so I can hurry and get back to work with everything else.

Running... yes please. So my Mom and I did our first 5k I came in under 25 minutes, I have two more this month and one more next month. I have a need for speed, I heart running it is good for the soul... haha.

The beginning of the race.... we were totally in the front.

Me and Mom, Mrs Sassy herself....

VEGAS.. your coo?

Okay so seriously, I can't say enough good things about this group of girls, they are all my best of friends and they add to that phrase in there own ways. They are fabulous and it is seriously so interesting to me that I started hair school when I did, (because I had always wanted to do hair, I just didn't start till I had been graduated for a year and a half.) These girls were all supposed to be in my life, because this last year has been extremely difficult and if I didn't have friends like them, it would have been so hard to get through. So thanks girls, you are the best!!! I have gabbed long enough now the pictures.

Here is the beginning of our trip, we love da bears. We had to make ALOT of stops on the way down.

Don't even worry about it... on the way home. I spilled gasoline all over the ground and my car, embarassing to say the least but I got a free car wash. But seriously I do not know what happened... I didn't pull the trigger thing or anything. But I did keep screaming asking if it was going to explode.

Skimboarding on the Virigin River.. thanks Addison for teaching us.

We went to the Vegas Temple... seriously it was beautiful, I loved it!!!!

P.S We did listen to conference, it was even on when we went to the D.I.

New Addiction: Cold Hot Chocolate, thanks Sammy for going and trying it with me, seriously everyone else missed out. Plus we met Romii, oh hey!!!

We ate ALOT, I am still trying to get back to my regular eating habits, I just always want food now, thanks Vegas. Us at Cheesecake Factory, SOOOOO good.

And don't even worry I found the man of my dreams.... oh Donny!!!!

Me and my very best of friend, Miss Elle.

THE MISSION

Cutest, little Kev-Kev, little bunny got his mission call to Sacramento, California Spanish Speaking. Needless to say we are so excited and SO proud of him. He will be an amazing missionary, the people of California are so lucky to have him for the next to years, but after that he is ours. I miss him already.

Kev with the family.

It's Business Time

And Lastly, what else have I been doing with my time, well you can look here. You will love it probably as much as I do and all the other people who have ordered. So thanks to everyone and there amazing support with this little hobbie I turned into something to share. I hope you enjoy and definitely check it out.

2010-09-09T10:05:00.000-06:00

Dear Joyce,
I just wanted to let you know I think you are a classy old lady. But I will say I very much dislike that we can't eat food in your class the only reason we do it is to stay awake snd listen to you lecture for 5 HOURS. Also, I find that you like us to wear our capes when you lecture.... We get hot Joyce, really hot. So maybe please can we not wear them, I understand if it is for lab but not lecture.
Lastly what is this test business come on Joyce let's think about not doing that. But it is okay I enjoy the class just the same even though I think you dislike me slightly for doing that's what she said jokes and putting my hand in your lotion and not using like a wooden spoon.
Sincerley,
Meagan

p.s Let us know if you bring food so I don't go to the sec for a pick me up!
P.p.s Rickie keeps falling asleep and I do too and unfortunately when I fall asleep I resemble a old woman in a resting home with a double chin.
