Here are some more adventures. I went with Talynn and Chris to St. George, UT for Dixie State University Homecoming. My Grami does a song with her brother. It is so fun to see them do their little "diddy" Went to the "DIXIE" with Talynn, Chris, Natalie and her boyfriend, Chris. It was fun to go up there again. My name "TRIS" was carved in the red rock. :)

Pretty view of Dixie.

Talynn and Me

On Halloween us sisters put on brightly colored wigs and delivered cookies to family and friends.

Jessica joined us too after we delievered the cookies.

Since then...

Well, it has been several months since I last posted anything. Today, it has been one year since I quit my job and also one year since Talynn saw Hanson in concert without me for the first time. June came. Hanson came out with a new album Shout It Out on June 8th. It is an GREAT album. Love it!! At the end of June, I went up to Salt Lake to pack up everything from our condo. We sold it. It was bittersweet. I enjoyed living there for over 2 years while I went to school. I had not been back to Salt Lake since I graduated. It was fun to be back up there, even though it was for only a few days. July came and celebrated our country's independence on July 4th!!! August celebrated my Daddy's birthday!!!! September I saw HANSON in CONCERT!!!!! with Talynn. September 16th was a FANTASTIC day!! I have loved Hanson since I was 11. This was my first Hanson concert. They are amazing!!! We went on a one mile walk without shoes before the show with Hanson. It was very cool! An amazing experience to put yourself in someone elses shoes (so to say, without shoes). So many people around the world walk miles without shoes and we take it for granted. I got big blood blisters on the bottom of both my feet from walking the mile. My eyes were definitely more opened that day. It was a great experience. Who else gets the chance to walk with musicians that you have loved for half your life. I don't hear of anything other musicians or celebrities doing such a thing. Hanson donated $1 for everyone that walked. Talynn and my $1 went to help children around the world have shoes. Talynn and I got a picture with Isaac.

We should have tried to get a picture with Taylor and Zac, but we didn't. I wish we did, but next time. I have become a little obsessed with them. My family would say lots obsessed, but I love their music and it brings me some happiness into my life. Talynn loves them too, but doesn't show it like I do. I guess I don't have a life (which is true right now). So what!! :)

October came and went. Had fun on Halloween. Went to the YSA dance. Dressed up like a hippie. It was fun!! On Halloween Talynn, Tiffany, and I put on some wigs and delivered cookies to friends and family. We has some friends come over and watched a movie and play games. I watched Hanson online. They had aLive stream of a members only concert in Tulsa, OK which Talynn and I could have gone to if we would have bought some plane tickets, but they were too expensive, So I watched it online. It was a great concert. Now Novemeber is here. I voted!! California has a new governer. Republicans took majority of the House of Representatives. Hopefully the country will move in a more positive direction. It is now 2 weeks til Thanksgiving. It is going to be a small group of the family again (which I enjoy). I have decided to go back to school and get my MBA degree. (Master of Business Administration). I have signed up to start taking some pre-requisite classes this spring semester. I will see how they go. If I do well and like it, I will then apply to Fresno State and to the Business School. I also have to pass the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) exam. We will see how that goes. So I haven't been accepted yet, just taking the first steps toward the graduate degree. We shall see what the rest of the year brings.

I can't believe it is MAY!

So I can't believe that my first post in 2010 is in May!!!! Anyway....not much going on here. New Years was fun!!! (even though the dance was not so) January, February came and went. March came and I turned 25!!! I am a quarter of a century old!! Haha! Didn't do much, just dinner with my parents. Talynn came to town after my birthday for Easter and we had a blast being the only two home for over a week!! Easter was nice and small. Just my aunt and uncle, cousin, my sister and me. We played monopoly and of course Talynn won. It was quite a long game, but what game of monopoly isn't :) Went to visit Talynn and Chris for a weekend with Tiffany. It was nice to get away. And now here we are....MAY!!! We will see how the rest of the month goes. Til then...

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!
