What do y'all think about..?

So, I've been thinking about doing the 60 day challenge on here, not Facebook. Why?

I feel that I've lost all excitement in my life. Which is probably why I've been feeling the way I have. I get cranky ALOT and that isn't me (or who I use to be that is).

I remember feeling like I was sitting on top of the world. & most importantly I was excited about life.

What was life like back then?

What was I excited about?

I remember how happy I was to be around amazing people (who I miss dearly), smiling/laughing all the time, I loved dancing (swing was my favorite), and I loved feeling needed. I loved to be there for everyone in my ward that needed a listening ear, or some advice. I'm not the best advice giver but atleast I tried. :)

What happened from then to now?

Moving was a big part of it. BUT I think my attitude and my outlook on everything is really what made it hard for me. Then me getting into a relationship with a non-member and going through everything that I did akso set me back even more. My attitude is STILL part of my problem. I just don't know how to change it? I'm pretty sure a social life would help...but I don't know. I have never been one to invite myself to someone else's plans. But what I COULD do that I HAVEN'T done is plan something or ask people if they'd like to go to the movies. I always wait around...and that gets me no where. I can't sit around and expect to be given everything. I need to quit living in the past. So, my solution is to start TRYING again. & I am thinking the 60 day challenge may help get some excitement back in my life!




What do y'all think?

Missing the old days, and missing the old me.

Since I moved away from Kansas almost three years ago. I just haven't felt the same. I was viewed as this gitty, bubbly, happy person. I could befriend anyone. I could just be me with no fear. I find myself looking back to the good ol' days. I miss being younger and carefree. I miss not worrying about what others are thinking. I miss being happy and hanging out with my friends 24/7. I feel like Satan has been working on me in all different angles. I find myself confused, hurt, and unsure about life. I know I have a lot to work on and a lot to do to get back to the old me but this time be better then the old me. I just don't know where to start. I know that a lot is a lack of confidence that I've been having and it sure doesn't help. My Life hasn't been too entertaining. I did go to downtown disney recently...which is the closest I've ever been to Disneyland. It was pretty cool. But that's about as entertaining as my life gets. It's a work in progress. I'm a work in progress. ..share the love if you want! I'd love it!

My Christmas/New Years!

So, it's been pretty hectic. Have you ever had to unpack and stay in the same place? Well, I'm working on unpacking...and I'm doing a horrible job at it. I haven't even started. If you didn't know my family and I were suppose to be moving to Texas a week after Christmas. On Monday, my Dad's boss calls him and tries to get him to stay again. My Dad said he would if the offer they gave him still applies. He told me and my family that it just didn't feel right to leave. So, we are not moving to Texas and we are in the middle of UNpacking. I'm glad that we are staying. I was a little frustrated because I had already quit my job but I have an awesome Supervisor that got me back on the schedule. :) I started talking to a guy about a month before we were moving. So, I was a little down because I like him and he treats me like I should be treated. :) So, that was a little rough and up in the air of what was going to happen. My entire family, including my Aunts think we are staying for a reason and it could be him. :) It's a little different here though because my brother and Katie (my sister-in-law) moved to Boise, Id on the 31st. SO, I miss having them around. On my New Years I went to a dance in a museum down in Balboa Park. It was really fun. I didn't get home until after 3am and didnt go to be til 4 something in the morning. I had a sleepover. Shelley, Stacy, Nathan, Troy, and James all stayed the night at my house. James spent the night with Nathan and I made troy a bed in the computer room. My family didn't want him to drive the hour and forty mins home at 3am. So, the next day we all got up and hung out. James, headed off for work first, then Shelley and Stacy headed home to their family. Troy and I went to Old town to the Whaley house. It was pretty cool and then we went out to eat before he headed home. It was a really great weekend. I enjoyed it a lot. That's it for now. Comment if you'd like..I know I'd love it. :)

Thanksgiving...

I spent Thanksgiving with my family, of course! We went to my sister in law's families house for dinner. It was a lot of fun and SOOO much yummy food. I don't even think I've ever ate that much on Thanksgiving day EVER. I even had pecan pie for the FIRST time. IT was pretty good. :) The only sad part is we got both Katie's and my family together for a picture. We went through all the trouble of getting people in the right places and the camera....and the picture some how was erased from the card. While I was in the middle of shooting my brother and sister in law...the camera died. :( So, I don't know if we will get everyone together again before they move. They are moving to Boise, Idaho right after christmas. :(
 

Things I am Thankful for;

1. The Gospel- I know that I've messed up. That I stopped going to church and doing things I always told myself I wouldn't. But I never stopped believing and never will. I know that I would be a completely different person without it. And I felt lost everyday that I wasn't there at church.

2. My family- I will mis having everyone in one place. I know that for sure and wish that I didn't take advantage of the time that we were all here in one place.

3. My Friends- I was really blessed to have great friends. I know who my real friends are and that is something I've learned from moving away.
 I am also thankful for the newer friendships that I have and still am gaining. :) Love you all!

4. I am thankful for children. I love my job. I can be having the worst morning/day ever and go into work and all will be better. I love to hear the laughter and smiling.

5. I'm also thankful all the food and drinks.

6. I'm thankful for photography and my camera..well my parents camera ;)

7. I'm thankful for my Comfy bed!!!!!

8. I'm thankful for music.

9. My cell phone so I can keep in touch with family and friends.

10. I'm thankful for PAZOOKIES.....yum. ;)

Halloween



so, left to right. Shelley, Nathaniel, mystery person, me, katie (sisinlaw), gabe, and james all waiting in line for the boat dance.. :)



So It's way past October and almost December. Geez, I can not express how HORRIBLE I am at this updating but I will, I WILL get better.

Halloween was actually really enjoyable this year. Surprising, huh? I went as Lois Lane and once as a secretary. I didn't want to spend money on something I wouldn't wear again. So, I bought an adorable pencil skirt at Goodwill (for 3 dollars I might ad) and a couple cute tops at Ross. My brothers, sister in law, and close family friend all celebrated together on a nice big boat. Yes, we went to a BOAT dance. It was kind of crowded but really awesome. :) I did leave out one person but for good reasons. I was talking to this guy. I will leave it a mistery. I was hanging out with him a lot actually within that month. He was easy to conversate with, and i could be myself. AT frist I thought well maybe....something will work out. Boy was I wrong. He is just one of those guys that want all the attention on themselves and really wants to go make out with random girls he'll never see again. I guess, I am just upset mainly because even after we talked and decided we'd just be friends....he doesn't even contact anymore. So much for that awesome friendship...huh? Oh well, I have plenty of friends. :)

Provo, Utah!

As you can see I went to a wedding while I was in Utah. That is one big reason I decided to go out there. :) It was one of the most beautiful weddings I went too. The Bountiful Temple is so GORGEOUS! I had never seen it before, not even in a picture. Chelsey (my good friend) had a luncheon at this cute little restaurant. They had it reserved and it even said Congrats to Chelsey and Jason Taylor. It was awesome and the food was delicious. Her reception was held in Layton at this mansion like building it was so gorgeous. They were serving ice cream the ENTIRE time. I loved that. :) Another funny thing about her wedding is she used the colors I want to use for my wedding. IT will be different because I'm going to throw in some nutural colors and set up differently. Jason and Chelsey together are so cute and so in love. They smiled the ENTIRE time & they were good sports about all the picture taking. Here are some more little collages I put together of the wedding...before I start talking about the rest of my trip. :)

ISn't her cake beautiful? See the little girl in the blue next to her brother Daniel? That's Jena! I haven't seen her until then. Before then she was only 4 years old. Anyways, poor girl. The night before the wedding she was walking and I guess she had a pencil. She dropped it and ended up some how stepping on it. It got STUCK in her foot. She bent to take it out herself and it broke. Yes, inside of her foot. The night consisted of her screaming and crying. I mean she had her parents digging inside of her foot trying to get the lead and wood out of her foot. She had to be on crutches for the wedding. I tried giving her a piggy back ride at one time...and guess what happened. I flashed everyone my boohonkus. Yep, embaressing!

Another reason I went to Provo was because my best friend Janiece was there. It was her first week of being in Provo. We had so much fun! we drove around ALOT and we got together with those guys you see there. Brandon, Geoffry, and Andrew. WE all graduated the same year...except Geoffry is the odd one out..he went to a different school. But we went to the pool, played card games, and just sat around Janiece's apartment and talked. It's so weird how everyone grew up. I hadn't seen the boys in over 3 years, I think. They were all off on their mission and had only been back for a couple months. It was nice to catch up. Janiece and I shopped, talked, ate, and everything together...once again. :) IT felt so normal being there...and I find myself wishing I never left. It has everything I need and I think it's pretty there. One of my best friends I wish was there. Everytime I drove passed the sign AF...I thought of her and just wished she was there with me. I will have to make a trip or something to see her one of these days. :) Well, that's all for now. :)
