i'm back

So it has been several months since I have blogged. I guess not much is going on, but there has been.

Well, I will take you through the months since my last post. June and July were not exciting months, just was working and going to meetings for the state-wide YSA Conference in August. August came and the YSA Conference was fun. So many people came. The dances were a BLAST. Wish all dances were like that. August ended and September came and went. October came and Halloween was fun! I dressed up as a Flapper. I love that era, 20s, 30s & 40s. The clothes were unique. I love it! Then November came. I quit my job. Just shy of six months I QUIT. I did not like working at the front desk and many things happened and kept happening that I did not think were professional, so I gave my notice and left a week and a half later. I am glad that I quit, but now I don't have a job and am looking for one. It is crazy what a college degree can get you or not.

I saw NEW MOON!! It was great! Can't wait for Eclipse and Breaking Dawn to come out!!!!Thanksgiving was nice.It was small like last year. I have liked the smaller family gatherings lately. We are a big family now and I love it, but the kids can be crazy. I love them though.

Now December is here (and almost over). I love this time of year. The Christmas songs start to play on the radio and everyone seems to be a little nicer. We decorate the house and get out the hot chocolate. My brother and sister came home from Utah and my sister and brother-in-law came up from SoCal. It was fun the have them all here. Including Odin. It seemed like a non-stop week full of family activities. It was fun. As a family, on my parent's anniversary we went to the Poverello House and wrapped presents. I have never been down there. It was an experience. We went to lunch and then saw AVATAR!!! I absolutely LOVED that movie!! It was just... (I'm speechless). I want to be an Avatar!

I went to dinner and to Color Me Mine with my sisters that next day. I was fun to have sister time. After years of asking my dad to take all of us to the rifle range, he finally did. We went shooting!! I love going shooting, even though it was only my second time going. It is fun!! We had Christmas Eve dinner at my Grami's house like always. Christmas Day was nice. Had breakfast and opened presents and spent the day just lounging. Great day!!! The next couple of days the brothers and sisters left and it was back to my parents and me at home. Its nice. :)

Now here we are NEW YEAR'S EVE!!!!!! the last day of the year and the last day of the decade. I can't believe that it is 2010 and a start of a new decade. 2010, how will you be. Will you be a great year or one that is not so great? I don't know, but I guess that it is up to us to decide. Right now it feels like it is going to be a great year. So 2010, I welcome you!! Let's PARTY!!!

american idol

So this season of American Idol was amazing!!! Every contestant this year was such a great singer. I personally loved Adam! From the moment I saw him during Hollywood week and then when they went to the small stage (where America could start voting for the top 12) I fell in love with him. He sang "Satisfaction" I loved it!!! My mom and I watched it about 4 times. :) Every week he was fantastic!! He should have won, but we all know he will probably be even bigger than Kris. They are both great and I will buy both of their albums!

He's good looking!!!

job

I finally found a job after 10 months of looking. I am working at a hotel as a front desk clerk. I have to start somewhere. I will be able to grow and move to other jobs. YAY!!!!!

life

Not much is happening. It was my mom's birthday on the 2nd. Went to my Great Aunt Toni's memorial on the 4th. It was lovely. I love her house. We had Easter early this year on the 5th with family that are out of town. We had a Easter dinner on Easter Sunday with just 9 family members. I think that it is the smallest Easter dinner ever that I can remember. I was nice. This month has been full of days that seem to just go by trying to make decisions about Life. (not the cereal, which I love) :) Happy April!

24th birthday

I turned 24 on Saturday! One more year & I am 1/4 of a century old. It was a fun day!!! My little sister, Talynn came up from Irvine for the weekend. It was fun to have her here. We went to Color Me Mine on Friday. We were there for 3 1/2 hours working on our projects. I hope they will turn out how we imagined them. I pick them up on Thursday. I will take pictures so you all can see :) I went to BJ's for lunch with my parents, sister and Grami. It was delicious. It was a GOOD birthday this year!

lucky charms

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!! My mom told me the other day that I am a pretty good 1/4 Irish. That my ancestors on my dad side came form Ireland. No wonder I like Irish music, but doesn't everyone :) Hope all have a splendid day!

haircut

BEFOREAFTER

On Friday, I went and got my hair cut. I am not sure if I like it. I wanted it a little bit longer and more of an "A-line" cut, but he didn't really do it. Oh well. I forgot to take a side view so you could kind of see the "A-line" cut.

the world is waiting for you, good luck, travel safe....GO!!

happy valentine's day

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!! I hope everyone has a wonderful day! My mom & I made heart shaped cookies yesterday. Enjoy the pictures!

rain

I guess that I can now predict the weather. Elvis had just finished eating, I let him outside to go to the bathroom and I wondered and asked my parents if it was going to rain tonight. It was breezing, but it did not smell like rain (you know you can sometimes smell the rain before it rains). I swear not a minute later I was lying on my bed and it was RAINING, HAILING and THUNDERING. It was the weirdest thing ever. Strange things are happening!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year!! It's 2009!! can you believe it! I went to the multi-stake YSA dance. It was fun!! I think I might have pulled a few muscles because I am hurting a little bit, but I guess that is good because I was using muscles that I probably did not know that I had. :-)

My UTES went to the SUGAR BOWL today and they WON!!!! YAY!!! 31-17. I am so happy for them. 13-0!!!! PERFECT SEASON. I sometimes miss being up in Utah and in the MUSS especially during football season. I wish that I could have gone to the Sugar Bowl. It would have been so fun to be there. WAY TO GO UTES!!!
