The Everyday Life!

Not too much has happened the last little while, but I guess I'll just update on the little things! Last week I got to go to Utah to watch Emilee's kids while her and Dallas got away to regain their sanity! ha ha Those kids are a handful but they are so fun right now. Westyn, her oldest, is too smart for his own britches, and Treyson is starting to talk so well and his smile is the cutest thing ever, it makes me laugh every time, and Makyndie thinks she is twenty years old and she tries so hard to keep up with her older brothers and when you try and hold her back, oooh the fit she throws! So I went to Escalante instead of Cannonville where Emilee lives so Jen and my grandparents could help me watch them, good thing cause I don't think I could have done it on my own! It was one exhausting weekend! I love hanging out with my family though, and I was glad I got to go cause I wasn't able to go this weekend for Memorial Day! Jen and Carson are doing so well, Carson is growing up so fast and he LOVES hanging out with his "brothers" (thats what he calls his cousins Westyn and Treyson) It was a long drive home and I hated to leave but unfortunately the bills have to be paid! So this weekend I set Danielle up on a blind date with a guy that I work with and she said she had a good time... so maybe my matchmaking skills are amazing? Who knows? I also got to hang out with my roommate from Thatcher, Whitney. She is leaving on her mission in a couple of weeks and she is so awesome! I love catching up with old friends, reliving memories is the best! Well, I hope everybody is doing great, summer is here and I am excited! Oh, and a little update, my toe is all healed, its crooked, but its all healed, it was a little touch and go for awhile but we didn't end up having to amputate! Just Kidding!

I've been tagged too!

All right, I am probably like the last one to do this so if you haven't been tagged, consider yourself so, like Taytum said! Here are seven weird things about me:

1) I love to clean! It is a stress relief for me and I guess the weird part is that I HATE it when people help me. I have to do it a certain way, and it drives me crazy when its not done like I like it. It's the first thing I do when I get home from work!

2) I love taking pictures, it drives me crazy when something cool happens and I don't have my camera with me, and the funny thing is that I usually DON'T have my camera with me!

3) I think I was supposed to be the boy in my family cause I love wearing jeans and T-shirts all the time, I could live in a tent and be perfectly happy, and life would be heavenly without make-up and all the other jazz we have to put up with. I am definitely the tom boy of the family and usually the one that is underdressed for the occasion!

4) I broke the third toe on my right foot the other day in the swimming pool, how do you break your third toe? That was weird...

5) I can roll my tongue three times, lots of other people can do that too, but I still think its cool that I have a weird talent!

6) I am diabetic and I could probably eat chocolate all day long, so its a daily struggle to resist, and sometimes I just give in and take a shot!

7) I am completely amazed and intrigued by the human body and the way it works and diseases that plague it and ways to heal it... go figure since I'm gonna be a nurse!

Small Town Life is the Best Life!

I got to go to St. Johns a couple weeks ago to do Kelsey's hair for Prom. Sounds like a long way to drive just for that, but to a sixteen year old your Junior Prom is like the most important thing in the world! Needless to say, I got a lot of crap from my boss at work for taking the afternoon off to get there in time. Why do bosses have to go on little power trips, like their the God of Credit Unions? So lame! Anyways, it was really fun, it made it feel like it was mine again, weird to think it has been so long since mine!

It's starting to get sooo hot down here in the Valley, I think I am going to melt this summer, hopefully it will melt off all the places I want to melt off anyways...hee hee! But I am really excited for summer, there is so much to do! I love floating down the Salt River, best time ever so if you ever get a chance to do it, DO IT! It's going to be hard to sit inside and work all summer cause I love to be outside playing, even though I'll probably think differently when its 120 degrees! Hope everyone is healthy and happy!

Another Day in Paradise

I haven't updated in awhile... hmm probably because my life is a little boring at the moment! My mom and sister came down this weekend and we did a whole lot of shopping (probably more than the wallet needed!) It was fun and they got to see my new apartment, and its nice when mom comes down and spoils me! I am also trying to get a grant to pay for nursing school, so everyone pray for me! I would really like not to have to work during nursing school cause I know its gonna be pretty crazy... In other news, my nephew got signed up for T-Ball, could that be any cuter? I am so sad that they are so far away cause I want to watch him play so bad! He was all excited when he called my mom to tell her, he goes "Grandma I signed up for T-ball and I get my own shirt and my own hat." I think that is the part that is most exciting for him! Well, a boring blog I know but hope everyone else is doing well! Until next time...peace out!

P.S. Look at my twin sisters! It's amazing how much these two look alike!

Hello, duh...

Well, an important part of my life that I forgot to mention (wow something cool happened so I better write about it..) I got into nursing school! I start on August 20th, and I got into Mesa Community College. I am so excited. It has been kinda hard to wait and to not know, but at the same time it was good to have a year off to recharge the ole batteries! I am excited to get back into the college life and actually be going to school for something that is going to get me a career, cause the pre-requisites you have to do to get to this point just seem so pointless. Plus after I get out of school and start working, I'll be a high-roller! hee hee So after August, see you all in 2009, my head might be stuck in a book! (I'm being a drama queen, I'm sure it won't be that bad and that's what I am going to keep telling myself!) Well hope life is good for everyone. Take Care!

Families Are Forever!

Like I said in my last blog I got to go to Utah for a few days and hang out with my family. It was so nice to get away from work and spend time with my family. It had been awhile since I had seen my niece and nephews. If they could be any cuter... oh my gosh! The things they say are so funny! Carson( Jen's little boy) and Treyson (Emilee's) were sitting in the kitchen and we were sitting in the other room and Treyson yells out "You're a butthead!" to Carson and without any hesitation Carson yelled back, "No I'm not!" and then they went back and forth with "uh-uh" and "yeah-huh" until we could get in there to break up their little fight (over who knows what!) They really do love each other but it is so funny to watch them interact and play, and you should hear those southern Utah drawals from Westyn and Treyson, it is HILARIOUS! They think they are as big as any adult and can do anything. We got to take a family picture even though it was windy and felt like five degrees below zero so we had to hurry, but they turned out pretty cute, we are gonna try and take another one this weekend. Jen's boyfriend got to come down and hang out with us, it was really fun to get to know him, he is a really awesome guy! I also got to use my sister's tanning bed, can you say Lobster...wow! Well, hope everyone is happy and healthy! Happy Easter!

Good Weekend!

Well, this weekend was a busy but really good one! I went to Thatcher to take my state boards to become a CERTIFIED nursing assistant... I was so nervous but it ended up not being as bad as I thought but I am still waiting for the test results (so cross your fingers)! I got to see all the St.Johns boys, they are all doing so well, and you can tell everyone in Thatcher is in love with 'em! Surprise, surprise... I also got to visit Charlie and Pete, their house is SO cute! I miss ya Char! I can't believe how hot it was in Thatcher, but I am sure it was way worse down here, this summer is gonna be a doosy(or however you spell that) Thank heavens for air conditioning! Oh and today we started our city league basketball team and we kinda got our butts kicked but it was really fun nonetheless, even though I didn't realize I was THAT out of shape! (Jess and Kam seemed like they agreed!) Anyways, I hope everyone is healthy, happy, and doing well!

P.S. I get to go to Utah in a couple of weeks, my nieces and nephews are getting so big and so adorable, they are pretty much the most amazing kids ever! (maybe a little biased but I don't think so!)
