Thanksgiving & Weddings

 I am so excited that this semester is almost done!! It is giving me time to blog again! Woo.

So thanksgiving was great! What I probably enjoyed most was not having school or work for two days! Booyah. Food was great, people were great, and it was fun having my moms cousin from England (Gerry) come in town. Prior to Thanksgiving we went shooting with him and stuff and it was a lot of fun! I shot a golf ball with a .22 from about a 100 yards away! I was very, VERY proud of myself. You think I wold of cased the ball and had it where everyone can see? Welll I think I lost it that night too. Pretty bummed, but not surprised.

Other fun shenanigans that have been going on are, my friends and I did a group date night after Thanksgiving will all our boyfriends, fiance's or husbands and it was so much fun all getting together and having everyone meet Cheyennes husband for the first time and etc. I am so so grateful to have amazing friends who actually care about each other and stay connected. I honestly think we will all continue to do activities with each other for a long long time. Thanks to iPhone's and group chat, our friendship has never been closer. It has strengthened out relationship and helped us stay update on our lives, and of course have scandalous, funny, borderline conversations with each other.


Jessica Bowyer had her bridal shower on the 29th and that was a good time. She got some great stuff and probably my favorite thing of all was the hunting printed lingerie. Seriously SO good. Sterling is going to love it. Can't believe my bestest friend is getting married so soon! Gah. Couldn't be more happier though especially since she picked a great guy! Oh and on a side note, this bridesmaid outfit is tight on me and I am probably the most stressed I have ever been about not gaining any weight so I can fit in it comes wedding day. If I even gain a pound more in the legs and butt area I am not fitting in it. Luckily I have racquetball to guarantee me a good workout twice a week until the wedding.

Two weekends ago Dan Palmer got remarried in San Diego and since he owns a bus company he filled up two of his buses with family and friends and we headed over to California for the weekend to celebrate his wedding. It was a really nice time, and we stayed in a hotel right on the beach and the weather was spectacular  dancing was fun, food was DELICIOUS (i'm all about that), hot tubing, walks on the beach, good company and all that. It was cool riding a bus there cause you could stand up, have 20 other people to talk to, watch movies, sleep in the back and etc. Yeah it takes longer to get there.. but the experience is fun!

This past weekend James and I went to this work party at the JW Marriott at Desert Ridge and WOW was that fancy. There were SO many people and the food was SPECTACULAR! then they were giving away a bunch of raffle prizes and the grand prize was $10,000 cash! Oh how badly I wish I could of doubled my yearly salary overnight! Luckily it was another 24 year old kid who won which we were glad to hear that and it wasn't someone who already is wealthy.

So now I am in my final weeks of this semester and how nice it feels! I can't wait to start doing more service and Christmas oriented things with all the time I will have on my hands! I am also stoked to go snowboarding in Utah, and hopefully here in AZ if sunrise will ever get any snow! Anyways I hope everyone can fully emerge themselves in serving others this season and to find those in need of love and reach out your hand to them. I love seeing the change in people this time of year and only hope it can continue throughout the whole year, as that is what Christ would want us to do.

September First Camping Trip with Myla

Image
  Started out with Labor Day and Lucas had it off so Micah joined us on a bike ride. We we’re still watching the Millett’s so we had Jane sleep over so she could watch Myla while we rode. Then we had breakfast and hung out there and then had all the cousins over for a swim party to celebrate Alli & Jacobs birthday. Myla started developing a rash around her eyes and mouth that seems to be caused from heat. It flares up in the car and after naps. So hopefully it will go away soon. We had Sunday dinner with my family and the boys had fun laughing Myla around In a box. This week I filmed Traci Beagley and her breast cancer journey and it was very powerful and I’m glad I was able to be apart of bringing awareness to so many. I just had another afternoon with the Millett’s. Next I went to the library with Tayzia for baby Olympics.  Then that night we went to the ASU game with the Packard’s and Trennon & Cari Anne. We got shaved ice that smelt like gasoline so that wa...

Now What?

This past month has been different and not quite what I was expecting. This whole semester I had been working hard for ADI and with the hope that they would hire me on after the internship was over. They had been telling me multiple times that they love me and are trying to get a position open to keep me here for good. Having that said I was kind of banking of getting hired post graduation. Well a couple weeks ago Sue took me to lunch to inform me that they actually do not have a position available because Hotel Site Select has not taken off as fast as they were hoping and they will not have the money to pay me. I was pretty upset and sad because I really LOVE this business, and the other employees are so good to me, and I was already making my future plans to be with them. That lunch meeting was not the happiest, and I was pretty down the next week or so. Many thoughts began to run through my head about being jobless, and how am I going to pay off my loans, and where should I apply no...

October Beginning of Holidays

Image
First day of the month and we had the Bodine ladies over for sister lunch which was really refreshing since we had been home all week not feeling good. It was a good time like always, I’m glad to have them as my sister in laws! Friday we did pickleball with the Skousen’s, Packard’s, and Standage’s for date night and it was super fun to be active and have a group date night! Saturday I had a Romanian Pentecostal wedding that was from 8:30am-7:30pm. It was looong but fairly easy since there is a lot of driving to different locations. It was also conference so I listened to a little bit during the drives. Sunday we started potty training... again. We woke up and “threw” the diapers away and made Myla say goodbye to them and she gladly did. Then we put on underwear and told her to tell us every time she has to go. She had about 7 accidents that day which is normal cause I was pumping her with water & juice all day to make her pee more. It was really nice to have Lucas here on day 1 bec...
