CALIFORNIA.

One week from today I will be in California with my family.

it's my little sister. and little brother's spring break.

here goes are 13 day family vacation.;)

Can i say I'm so excited!! me and my sister are so ready for the beach!!

I got work off from this the 15th-29th. Everyone deserve a break from work. 

especially if it is family time. ha ha

were leaving this friday!! ahhh! so soon. so much to do in so little time to get ready.

were going to go to Zion's. Grand Canyon. Goblin Valley. to do some hikes and camping. then we will head up to San Diego. woot woot!!

I'm ready for the beach. to lay in the sun and just relax and enjoy the beautiful sunny day.

 

 

 

 

                                

Board Walk. and all the interesting people you pass by. Shopping. Food. Fun. Jogging on board walk. oh boy ;)

the sound of the waves.

as you can see just the BEACH in general. I'm Excited.

My family and I are going to try and go to t the temple to do baptisms. I'm so excited for that. Last time we went to san diego which was last year this temple was closed for cleaning the week we were there. This time it isn't. So hopefully we will be able to do it. I love going to new temple's and seeing they style and uniqueness about each one.

can you say ROAD TRIP!. i love these they are truly the best.!!

polka dot.

I’m so excited I bought the cutest swimsuit at Target. Funny thing is I went the night before and they didn’t have this one in my size so I put two of them on hold. I had my sister and mom come and see if it looked good on me. Always need opinions they truly help me decided since I’m so undecided person. While I went to try on the two swim suits I put on hold this cute adorable polka dot swimsuit was in my size! 

Ilove that when you want something and it is actually in the size you need. It works out perfectly. that then means you must buy it. 

plus when it is on sale also. that is an extra bonus. I saved two dollas.

If you need a new swimsuit. try Target. They had cute ones there.

Of course I wanted everything else I saw there. shirt. pants. dress. skirt. purse. sun glasses....etc i just love Target. I was on a mission for a swimsuit and that is it. Good thing i didn't buy anything else ;)

My new swimsuit reminds me of this commercial below. the words do. lol

It was an itsy, bitsy, teenie, weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini
That she wore for the first time today
An itsy, bitsy, teentie, weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini

ha ha i have that stuck in my head.

dee's + park city = with the family :)

Wow last night just wasn’t my night. As you can tell in my blog I just kept complaining. 

It just wasn’t a good night.

good thing there is always a New Day. A new fresh Start. A new Bright Attitude. i love that about life

today has been a GREAT DAY.

I absolutely love Family. I don’t know what I would do with out them. Seriously I don’t.

Today we went to Dee's.

lets all go to Dee's.

cheese burger's cheese burger's.

hot dogs

and fries.

(good old song if you know what I'm talking about) just had to mention it when you say Dee;s.

Myself. Mom. Dad. David. Richard. And Kimberly.

I slept in and my parents went to the temple and when they got home we decided to go get some breakfast…alright I guess it was more like brunch. So good.

I always tend to get the same thing and places. It just always is good. I know I need to get some variety in my food. But when something is so delicious you just got to get it. Plus I was in the mood.

I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich with fries. And fry sauce to dip both of them.

I ordered hot chocolate. and asked for xtra xtra whip cream. The waitress was way nice she brought out a bowl of whip cream for xtra xtra. So good!!. I love whip cream.

It was a great time. I love spending time with my family it is the best. They always put me in a good mood and full of energy.

Funny thing my brother David told us all to put tabacoo sauce in our mouth so we put a drop.

Oh my goodness that stuff is disgusting. I haven’t really tried it before.

Good thing my dad had his nice huge camera and took pictures of the process. It was gross. As you can tell by the faces. (I will upload photos’s soon they are on my dad’s camera). They are great.

After denny’s. we went to Park City to the outlets.

dropped off my mom and Richard. My dad and david and Kimberly all went. It was fun.

On the way there we saw the sign Chain up (which is for semi trucks)

I told them I always think of CHIN UP.. instead ha ha. We all laughed it was funny.

Bought some hiking shoes. Jacket. And socks. (they are all so cute by the way. loved them. and on sale:)

we all had fun shopping around the Colombia store. pretty sure we were in there for 2 hours. ha ha.

it was hard to choose what hiking shoes. i finally narrowed it down to three. and then bought the cute red ones. ;) so excited to wear them. with my jacket. woot woot. 

my brother david wanted to buy these shoes. ha ha to bad they were just a little. little to small!

look at these adorable snow shoes for a little boy. They were the cutest things ever. Nice shoes and in style. so cute.tiny!

So exciting.

gotta love dressing room mirror's for photos.
as well as a camera phone to take pictures anytime anywhere ;)

My sister and I bought the same jacket but both different colors. She got blue which was the same color of her beautiful eyes. And I got the pinkish redish jacket to match my new hiking shoes!. Fun day at the outlets. Spending money. Ooh boy but we will all be ready for our hiking trip which is in one week! I’m so excited. It is my sisters and brother’s spring break. It will be loads of fun.. 

It was a grand day with the family. You can always count on family to be there for you when you need them. They are always there to help you CHIN up and make you have a great day.
  now going to go watched Tangled with my sister ;) she is already watching it going to go join. her ;)

LOVE YOU FAMILY!

frustration.complaining

There's gonna be some things in life that

     are going to make it hard for you to smile,

     but through all you see, all the rain and all

     the pain, you have to keep your sense of

     humor and keep on smiling.

                -unkown 

                               

Alright so I hate to complain. who doesn't right?

but when your having one of those days you might as well let out your thoughts 

by typing.

texting.

reading.

writing.

 so mine is typing tonight.

i apologize. but blogs are to share whats on your mind.

well. here i go.

 Sometimes I feel alone. which i know i shouldn't but I do.

not alone with family wise 

religion wise

but friend wise.

to be honest I don't have anyone that I can walk out my door and go see right now.

to talk to in person. to share my thoughts. to get feedback. to chat about life. boys. school.etc

you know when you have friends. really good friends.

and flash you feel as if they are all gone

everyone of course moves on with life.

but deep inside my heart it hurts.

i miss my friends. best friends. college friends. ward friends. high school friends.

it might also be me working to much and I'm not focusing on my social life.

but it is killing me. i work days and nights. and come home and its time for bed.

i'm exhausted after work also.

in the end it will be worth it. i hope

I just need some friends at the moment.

most of them are off to college.

but then again at college one of my good friends. is ready to move back home.

she is sick of her roommates and the drama going on with her apartment.

she was able to vent to me. and it did not sound like a fun situation.

we all have challenges and trials some are just WAY different then OTHERS.

way different. but we all are facing them. 

some friends are

at the stage in their life of marriage.

or traveling. or study abroad programs.

i try not to compare but its hard when you want a friend relationship with those.

its life. you just find new 

and new friends. along the way.

new places. new towns. new states. new.

high school friends i try to get together with lunch. but it never happens.

my good friend up the street. she is going to Alaska. i'm excited for her.

but haven't seen her for about 4 weeks she is getting ready.

i miss that friendship.

i am not in an LDS sorority anymore because I forgot to sign up this semester.

and i work Thursday nights which was the night i got together with the girls.

i miss that i do. but it hurts when you feel as if no one even noticed you gone.

or not showing up.

i haven't gone for 4 weeks. nope no text. no call no email. nothing.

i guess i didn't pay this semester deadline because i forgot.

and that might be the reason why.

but still.

and realized i felt as if I was a nobody. which by the way is an awful feeling.

i went with a good friend in the neighborhood but i felt as if i always needed her there with me.

when she wasn't there it was just alright.

i never really got to know anyone and become really good friends

because we both were always together. which is fine.

but then no friendships bond.

its probably my lack of communication and not trying.

i do need to try better. and will.

it just gets to a point. where i am lacking that in my life right now.

and i know why cause i'm never home. always at work.

least i have created friends with people i work with right.

to bad none of them are the same faith as me that would be even better.

i enjoy working with my co-workers i do> i gain a better appreciation for my life.

and the choices that i have made and the person that I am today.

i hope that i can be examples to those i work with.

and come in contact with. 

so maybe my answer.

I'm ready to go back to the college life.

i loved it.

i hope this fall or spring i start back up with school.

i think that would help a lot being around college students and living life the way a college student should be doing. studying long hours. yes can't wait!!

also deleting my facebook. which by the way is one of the BEST choice that i made 

right now in my life.

i don't need to waste time or stalk friends profile's and get different emotions raceing through time.

i know things will get better.

it just hurts. i miss hanging out with friends. groups of friends and doing fun activitys.

creating mischivious.

laughing late hours.

staying up late hours.

I guess i made a HUGE focus on work this semester.

yes it is worth it. but i do make it a very important priority in my life.

i need to relax but still work. or maybe fine another job more challenging for me.

you know when you have worked at the job for a long time.

you get used to it. it is like an old pair of shoes.

you just can't get rid of them.

your used to the breakin inside the shoes. you have worn them out.

it is like work. i'm used to everything. i have breakin at work.

i need to look and see other job options available and maybe that would be best

or maybe not. just got to decided for me.

I need to realize the more important things in my life such as family.

spend my time wisely.

and go out of my way more at home and friends. at less at work but still keep my work ethic amazing.

it seems like the longest blogs sometimes are the ones where you go on and on complaining.

it just helps a lot.

i'm sure no one will even read this. or get this far. they will be bored. 

but really it has helped me a lot.

especially not having a friend close by i have my blog i can type to.

ha ha. blogs can be friends. they can be best friends.

alright i'm done complaining off to bed.

final words of wisdom for myself.

its always good to leave on a good note. or good thought.

i have a couple below. enjoy;)

 

oriental chicken salad

Worked this afternoon and decided to share an Oriental Chicken Salad.
first if you haven't tried this salad it is a must!! It is so delicious. 
you can even make your own.

• salad (well of course)
• chicken
• pineapple
• manderian oranges
• almonds
• and asian dressing.
• pretty much the bestest salad at my work. So GOOD!

so I called my mom and asked if she had eaten.
luckily she didn't. so i could share and enjoy lunch.
i brought home the salad and prepared a cute little lunch meal with my mom and I.
what great company that assisted me today for lunch. :)
i also love doing surprises for people. it is great and the best feeling inside. i love it.

Dinning Room Table for lunch with my mom and I

The best Oriental Chicken Salad

Alright I love playing games
One of my favorite games is called: Upwords.

• it is like the game of scrabble but doesn't take to much time.
• It is a fast paced word game where you can add letters to the other players letters.
• each letter is one point and through out the game you add points to see who is the winner.
• but remember We are all Winners in heart. 
• so during this delicious lunch we played this intense game.

Score Board

Up Words.

 

Thanks Mom for always being there for me.

You are the best-est mom anyone could ever ask for!!
Thanks for spending time with me at lunch :)

I always love knowing that my best friend

is my Mom. best friend forever and ever.

rain.

I love the Rain

especially the sound of the rain.

I love sitting in my bedroom

listening to the rain fall.

I open my window and smell

the fresh rain

I wish it was morning so I could be outside.

I guess I will just have to dream......

it is my bedtime. good night world. good night laptop

good night rain

when i think of rain I always think of this quote below :)

never gets old. never. ever.

bountiful temple

I have a strong testimony in the power of Temples

Recently in General Conference the Prophet Thomas Monson

talked about the power of the Temple and having it in our lives.

I suggest if you haven't heard this talk that you should listen to it or read it in the Ensign that comes out in May. He said remarkable things about the Temple. 

A few that stood out to me are the following that the Prophet said: 
sunday morning session: The Holy Temple- A beacon to the world. The website is listed below ;)
http://lds.org/general-conference/print/2011/04/the-holy-temple-a-beacon-to-the-world/?lang=eng

• Now, my young friends who are in your teenage years, (I put myself in this categorie Young Single Adults) always have the temple in your sights. Do nothing which will keep you from entering its doors and partaking of the sacred and eternal blessings there. I commend those of you who already go to the temple regularly to perform baptisms for the dead, arising in the very early hours of the morning so you can participate in such baptisms before school begins. I can think of no better way to start a day.


• The world can be a challenging and difficult place in which to live. We are often surrounded by that which would drag us down. As you and I go to the holy houses of God, as we remember the covenants we make within, we will be more able to bear every trial and to overcome each temptation. In this sacred sanctuary we will find peace; we will be renewed and fortified. 

  

  Bountiful Temple: Wednesday April 6th 2011

  

Recently Today My mom and I took some pizza to my sister's softball game in Ogden. We decided after delivering the pizza's we would go to the temple after. We got ready in our church clothes and continued on the drive to Ogden. Dropped off the pizza's watched her game then headed to the Bountiful Temple because the Ogden one was closed for cleaning. Driving with my mom is always an adventure I realized. She does sometimes forgetful things. We almost headed to Evanston instead of Bountiful it was quiet funny.....we both had our laughs. I still laugh at it as well as are other driving adventures. ha ha. I love going to the temple and loved going with my mom. We finally arrived. She went to a temple session and I did baptisms. It was great I had about an hour in a half of time to reflect and wait for my mom. I decided to go into the waiting room. I loved sitting there watching couples young-middle aged-elderly couples enter the temple. The best is seeing their husband carry the wife's temple bag when leaving and entering the temple. What a gentlemen. It was very kind indeed. It made me think of my future husband and he better carry my temple bag when going to the temple together ;) ha ha. I loved also seeing the smiles on people's faces. There is such a strong, peaceful feeling inside the temple. I of course had a lot of time on my hand to sit there and ponder. I was able to read my patriarchal blessing, the ensign, my scriptures and write in my journal.  I absoutly love it and didn't feel rushed at all. I was able to set aside the worldly things and reflect about the true gospel.we truly blessed to live by so many temples.

I love to go to the Temple.

I also took some pictures on my phone........silly me I couldn't find my camera charger................still its somewhere

Bountiful Temple

 

My mom was so kind to take a picture of me in front of the Bountiful Temple.
It only took about 5 tries then she finally got it.
"what button do i push?
Why isn't it working?
Ooops it went back to your picture background?
Thanks Mom for this great picture 5 times is a charm ;)

Thanks Mom for Driving! Love you ;)

work.food.game.movie. spending time with my bro.

I love working on Saturday night for the Priesthood Session. Right at 8:00 is when we get are rush at the restaurant. I love seeing crowds of Young Men come in dressed in white, suits, ties. They all look so sharp. You get this feeling of the power of the Gospel and the Light of Christ within each person that I sat. I love looking into the main dinning room and table's and booths were filled with Young Men. What a great day at work. It was busy and a little stressful but worth it in the end.

I opened at work 2:30 and left around 9:20. long shift but it actually went by fast.

After work I bought myself.

child's pasta=half mariniar sauce half creamy garlic

piece of garlic bread

and then for dessert

I had a Red Velvet Cupcake from (So Cupcake)

delicious.

stuffed for now.

then Richard (my little brother) and I finished off the night 

playing a game of YAHTZEE. yes I won ;) 

only by like 69 points. creamed him.

then we

watched one of the greatest movies

TANGLED.

what a great Saturday night
