Updates.... Fianlly!!!!

So its been awhile since I have updated, and a lot has happened in the past four months, there were weddings, baby showers, babies being born, birthdays, parties, just everyday changes in life, so this post might turn out to be quite long. I just feel I need to vent and get some things off my chest, and I feel the best place for me to do that is here, or go running, and since running isn’t an option right now, this will have to do. (Please forgive me if I get the events and dates mixed up I can hardly remember what I did last week let alone four months ago. )(I will put a separate post for just pics to go with the events.)

April- April was very packed with things going on with the family. First was Melody’s baby shower for baby Knolan. It turned out great, the house looked amazing, my mom and I hosted it for her, and we had a great turn out. Got to meet some new people, got to see some people we hardly ever get to see. While her family was not able to make it, she had ours there to support her on one of her special days, all in all it was a success. She got tons of great gifts for the baby. The second weekend in April was Easter, we had a big get together at my grandparents with most of the family who lives here, and we had some outta town guests Molly and Datra. The kids had a big Easter egg hunt, and that was so fun to watch, it reminded me of when I was a little kid. Man how time flies. The third weekend in April, April 18, 2009 to be exact was a very special day for my cousin, and our family. This was the day he got married to the love of his life, and we welcomed in another person to out family. The wedding was so beautiful very unique but very classy and beautiful, especially for how much crap it got talked about it, it was simply stunning. The reception was at Shannon’s parents house where, they had a Marachi band playing, and it catered the food was delicious, the music was beautiful, and everything was just perfect for them on their special day. Later that night everyone well most of the older cousins, and friends of the couple went out to Flicka’s in Scottsdale, its pretty much like a Dos Gringos, but we all partied the night away with the newly wed couple. There was no bouquet toss, but I was literally handed the bouquet guess my family really wants me to get married… haha! We had a greatttt time, and some def funny and good memories. Mandy even found a “boyfriend” for the night hahah jk, but that guy was a riot…I want to say Carrie’s confirmation was in April too, but I cant remember. Sorry Carrie I know its an important day, but im totally spacing on the day, but we were all very proud of her for making that step in her religious journey. Well I believe that was everything in April, im sure I forgot something as we always have a million things going with the thousand people in my family. So if I forgot something my apologies.

May- Finally Knolan is born yayyyyyyyyy!!! He was born on May 6, 2009. He was such an adorable little baby, I was so blessed to have another amazing nephew, I love kids, but I am no where near ready to have any of my own so I will stick with my nephews for now. I love to spoil them like crazy, although I don’t get to see Pierce as much, as Knolan but I love them both the same. They are amazing, and wonderful little boys, and they are lucky to have the parents, and family they do, and one day when they are older they will be able to realize that, they are too young right now. May 3 was Kahlia’s birthday she turned 15, I cannot believe how fast she is growing up, it feels like just yesterday she was born. She is now a sophomore in high school its so insane to me, to even think how old she is, I mean she will be driving next year… AHHHHH don’t worry we will warn everyone when she gets her license. She is really a pretty great girl, she is just extremely boy crazy, but hopefully that’s just a phase. She is a character. Levi turned 28 on May 18. We celebrated their birthdays, as well as Mother’s day with everyone at my Grandma’s house on May 12 I believe it was a crazy eventful day though, and I am so blessed and fortunate for my mother she is the best thing I could ask for well everyone in my family, but especially my mom, I love her so much, and I know I don’t say or show it enough, but I know she knows and that’s all the matters to me. My best friend Justin who I met in the Navy came to AZ for about three weeks for work, so while he was here, I went to Tucson to go visit him, and he came down here two weekends. It was so great to see him, I have known him for 6 years now, and I hadn’t seen him since I left VA, which was July 2007, so it was great to catch up with him. He got to come to the cabin with my family, and meet everyone it was a great time when he was here. I am suppose to go to New Hampshire to go see him in December, but we will see how everything goes I like to take it day by day.

June- Justin was still here, and we hung out with my family, and I took him and showed him around AZ, since he had never been here before. He left the first weekend of June, I was so sad to see him leave, but I knew it was coming, so I was a sad the first week or so, but I was ok after that. George Lopez was also in June. I went with Janea, someone who was or at least I thought was my best friend, that’s another story on its own. We went and had a great time he was HILARIOUS, and I would def go see him again. We went out to Dos in Chandler afterwards, and just like normal we ran into people from high school, but that’s so common there, as pretty much everyone goes there. We stayed the night at a friends house, and ended up spending pretty much the whole next day over there, it was so much fun though, I hadn’t seen her in about a month in half since then, so it was really good seeing her, and spending time with her. June 28 was Dominics birthday, he is like the only person in this family he doesn’t have to share the month of birthdays with, so we had a party for him at my Grandparents house.

July-I don’t believe anything significant happened in July but I could be wrong. Not sure when it was but Mel, Patrick, and I went to Grahams for some cheap drinks, and a fun night out for Mel since having the baby. It was a good time, def got a little tipsy, but it was a lot of fun. I believe this was also the month I went and hung out with a bunch of people I hadn’t seen since high school at Dos Gringos in Chandler. It was sooooooooo much fun catching up and hanging out with everyone. July 28 was my moms birthday we didn’t really do much for it until August.

August- August 1, 2009 we went out for Mels birthday, we went to Grahams, just wanted to go somewhere cheap, and easy. And that it was. We had so much fun, and got pretty drunk haha, not even meaning to, but its just how it happened. We left there about 11, and headed to Dos and drank some more haha, we ended up walking back to their house about 1 am I believe all in all it was a successful night, the next morning was Hunter, Melody, Mom, and Grandma’s birthday party at Grandma, and Grandpas.

I have a lot more I want to say but I am going to put them as separate posts over the week…

So many things...so little time

Ok so I have been meaning to get on here and update, but since I have time now, I thought why not?! Hehe anyways! Update on the JJ situation there isnt one haha! I have been thinking about him alot lately, and I do miss him, not in the couple sense but just as a freind, I really enjoyed his friendship and I could talk to him about anything, and now he won't talk to me, I really miss that. I was thinking of emailing him when he left for Germany just telling him how I feel exactly I am over the whole liking him thing, it doesn't make sense right now anyways, but I don't really know if I should, I don't want him to think I am still upset or anything about it, becasue I am totally not just bummed about losing a freind I guess. Oh well I will get over it, I have so much coming up that my mind will too busy to even think about it.

Anyways...Tuesday night I went out with one of my besties for St. Patricks Day we weren't going to do anything since it was a week night but, after I had a rough night with JJ I said why not so we met up with some freinds, and stayed out pretty late but it was worth it we had a great time, and suprisingly I was not even tired the next day at work hehe.

Last Friday night one of my best freinds, Patrick, and I all went to the Boyz to Men concert at the Wild Horse Pass Casino..let me just say it was AMAZING!!!!! OMG they are such amazing performers, it was def a great experience, and we actually got to meet them afterwards, for a small fee of course but it was so worth it. They were the nicest guys, and so humble. It was def worth the money to see Patrick get so excited over these guys, and then we started talking about how if he met Justin Timberlake what he would do it was hilarious. We all had so much fun, after the concert we went to RT O Sullivans and got some food, and met up with some freinds, whom I haven't seen in awhile, and then I saw a guy I have known since Kindergarten, but haven't seen since Junior High gotta love those times. We def had fun catching up in fact we ended up closing the bar down, but I was driving so no drinking for me.

Saturday morning I got up bright and early to go to the Zoo with a good freind of mine Joe. He picked me up about nine in the am, and you know me I am not a morning person so lucky for him I was in a great mood haha. The weather was so gorgeous, and when we got to the Zoo the parking lot was FULL it was insane, and I am just thinking to myself OMG I hope the Zoo is not this crowded, I do not do well with crowds haha! But it wasn't suprisingly. We walked around the whole Zoo and took pictures of alot of the animals. My favorite animal is the elephant as most people know so we spent a good 45 mins watching them haha sorry I'm obssessed, and his is the monkey or orangutang...so we spent about 30 mins at the orangutangs they are so dang cute, they are just like people it was so funny to watch them. I was suprised all the animals were out for the most part, of course the lion was sleeping it always is when I go to the Zoo. Anyways we finished up at the Zoo around lunch time so we went, and got lunch and just sat and talked for awhile. I had such a great time with him it def made my Saturday, and weekend.

Sunday was finally the day we have been waiting for RENT... Mel, Carrie, and I all went to eat at Applebees before the show, man o man I think that place gets better and better everytime I go there, I am addicted to their french onion soup its amazing. Hehe, anyways we got to the show pretty early so we just sat outside the doors talking and what not, it was good to spend time with them, since I don't get to see them much, well more so Carrie. The show was sooooo amazing, and very close to the movie. OMG the two girls sitting next to me kept screaming like they were at a damn Jonas Brothers concert, and then they would start ballling it was insane, and Melody and I found it quite funny, and at the end they fricken just stood there hugging eachother for like 10 minutes, and we were like ok hurry up jeez!!! Haha then we got outside, and realized we had parked on the complete opposite side of the place, and so we had to hunt down the car, meanwhile I have a dress on, and the wind is blowing, and I am not trying to flash anyone...haha oh man oh man good times.

This weekend dont have too much planned, just going to get the oil changed in my car, get wheels for my car, look for apts and prob hang out with my cousin on my dads side of the family since he is in town. I am getting so super excited for all the family stuff coming up we will have a blast. Well wish me luck on finding a place, and I will update again soon... Have a wonderful weekend....

Everything works itself out in mysterious ways just have to patient...

Me and Janea on St. Patricks Day, I was DD so I didnt drink was just holding it for the camera man :)

So they decided to play this game where everyone puts their credit card in a hat and whoever's gets pulled has to buy the round of their choice...Matt won, and had them do a mind eraser and from the look on all their faces it was not good haha but hilarious to see!

Me and Janea before the concert started with our VIP badges :)

There is only three now, but they are still AMAZING!!!

Me and Patrick (he was freakin out right before this haha) with our autographed VIP passes

Me and the men themselves...they told me and Janea we were cute ;)

This was the emo orangutang we saw at the Zoo he was so funny

Sisters before dinner, and RENT....FINALLY!!!

All Good Things Come to an End....

So JJ has been here for about 2 weeks now, and we have been hanging out and stuff and I dont know what happened or what I did but something changed with him, and I just decided I think it would be best if we went our separate ways so thats where things are right now, we arent talking, and I am doing well with it you know everything happens for a reason so maybe God has a better plan for me no worries though. I am glad I did get to hang out with him while he was here. He is still an amazin guy more so than ever and I want nothing but the best for him, and to be happy and well if I cant make him happy then I hope he finds someone who does... I am not down about it or anything :):) So thats my short lil update! So excited for RENT on Sunday witht the sisters we are going to have a blast I will let you know how it goes on Monday hope everyone has a wonderful weekend xoxo!

He is finally here!!!

Ok so after waiting forever, and ever to see JJ he is finally here :):) He took me to lunch yesterday, and I was so nervous not really being sure how it was going to be since, I hadnt seen him since high school, but it was so awesome there was nothing akward about it at all. Then I hung out with him last night, and just watched TV and talked for hours it was so much fun just doing nothing at all. I think I am the happiest I have ever been with a guy its insane but I can honestly say that! I am so so happy he is home, and I cant wait for him to meet the family. So a few weekends ago I finally got to go see Pierce, man I love how that little boy is so cheerful he is so much fun to play with I think I wrote about it on my last blog, but I thought I would talk about it again and post a few pictures I had on my camera... hehe I love him so much I show him off to everyone!!

Here he is on his little play mat. I tried getting like a hundred pictures of him smiling, and this is the only one I managed to get, he was so sneaky everytime I would turn off the camera he would just smile away, and then when I would turn it back on he wouldnt, such a silly little boy but looking as adorable as he is, he is allowed to get away with it :).
Here he is looking and admiring his monkey it was so cute to watch him play with this, cause he was so animated, and cheerful, and making all kind of sounds it was sooooo adorable. I really wanted to see him roll over, but he didnt feel like showing me he could it so thats ok, I will be waiting for it next time :).

So Friday me and the girls went out to Mill like we usually do hehe, and I ran into some freinds, I have seen in awhile so I actually had a good time, there was so drama, but hey when is there not, I dont let it get me down though, so whatever hehe. It was a fun night though for sure!

Saturday Dominic and Shannon had their 80's party and my best freind Janea and I went it was actually alot of fun, and totally awesome dressing up. They did a great job with hosting, and their house is BEAUTIFUL! Congrats to both of them!

Here is a pic of me in my eighties get up.... LOVE IT!!!

The Weekend....

So I am so so so excited this week JJ comes home on Sunday for a whole month....I am sooooo excited to get to hang out with him, and be with him while he is here. I have to admit though I am a little nervous, but I know i wont be once I see him hehe! I am such a girl I know :)

Anyways didnt do much this past weekend, I think the highlight of my weekend was going to spend time with my sister, and my nephew, I had soooo much fun, he is such a happy baby and being around him just makes me even happier if thats possible haha, and just seeing him, and how joyful he is all the time is such a blessing. He is seriously one of the cutest kids I have ever seen. I dont want kids of my own right now so he will do for me :):) he is my lil angel. Carrie and Levi are very lucky parents, to have such a wonderful baby, and I am so blessed and fortunate to have such a wonderful nephew. I am so excited to see him grow, and talk, crawl, and walk, of course not too fast though hehe. I am really going to be a good aunt, and see him as much as I can, I dont mind making the drive out there its so worth it just to see him, and my brother and sister.

Saturday Kahlia, Carrie, Melody, and I all got together for sisters dinner, we started this thing where once a month we go to someone's house, and we all get together and make dinner together, and just sit around and talk about whats going on in everyones lives, and what we have missed out on, its really awesome to be able to do that. Saturday was filled with lots of venting haha but it was def something that needed to be done, I had a great time though, it was a lil akward at first but once we started talking we couldnt stop so it was all good, and before we knew it 3 hours had passed haha. I just want me and my sisters to be close, and someday when Aaron, and Hunter get married we will add them too.

Rent is coming up very soon, and I am so excited, in fact I need to find a dress to where to it, but I am so stoked I think I am going to rent the movie this week for Kahlia to watch since she has never seen it. I am so excited, and once again I will be going with my sisters, well unfortunetly Kahlia because I didnt think she would want to go, and my mom told me she didnt think she would want to go, so I didnt get her a ticket, but I think she will still come to dinner with us.

Well I think thats all for now, hope everyone has a wonderful week! xoxo

You have to have faith, and believe in yourself, before you can expect it from others.

A Whole Month.... WOW

Wow, so its been a whole month from today, since the last time I updated. Not much going on with me, still working hard on school and getting my straight A's and enjoying every minute of it. Work I finally got signed on full time which is exciting because for those of you who didnt, and dont know I was with a temp agency but my job loves me so they are keeping which is great so I i will get a raise, and benefits and the whole nine yards :) its exciting, and for once I love the people I work for, and I am truly happy where I am in work, and life.

I am not usually one to let people go in my life, but I am finally coming to realize that you cant always try to see the best in people, they will continue to hurt you, and walk all over you, and sometimes its just better to let them go, then keep them close. So I learned that the hard way, but hey its a part of life, and you gotta just pick yourself up and keep on going. Your life is a never ending journey there is no stopping it, so just live it to the fullest, and make the best with what you have.

On a brighter note, I have met the most amazing guy ever! He is everything I have ever wanted in a guy, but it sucks because he is in the Air Force, and stationed in Korea right now, but he will be home in 10 dayssssssss( can you tell I'm excited?) but then he leaves for Germany in April for three years :( I have been so happy and sad with our situation, and now I am just thinking of it logically, I like him a lot, and care deeply for him, I know most of you will think I am crazy but still I don't know, i just feel like i really need to do what my heart is telling me, and for once listen to my heart since I never do. I know its a complicated situation, and long distance relationships never work out, but I dont know what to look at it like that. I am going to spend all the time I can with him while he is home, and just really enjoy his company and when he leaves I dont know what will happen, but I am just taking one day at time, I have never met someone who makes me so happy. i truly believe that its worth waiting for the one you believe is better than the rest than going through hurt and and heartache just becasue he is not here. I have never been one to be good with commitments or anything like that but with him i feel so different everything is so close to perfect its indescribable to me. ok sorry enough about that!

Other than that not much going on going to do sisters dinner this weekend, with the girls, and RENT is coming up so fast, JJ will be here in 10 days so cant wait for that, Dominic and Shannons wedding, Knolan will be here before we know it its crazy my life is going full speed ahead but I love it, and I am always enjoying the ride, and my life is like a rollercoaster all the time haha but I wouldnt have it any other way, I feel so blessed and fortunate for the life I am living with all the people in it....

Have a wonderful day :):)

True happiness comes from within you....everything else will fall into place!

Back to School....Finally!!!! and my weekend updates

Yeah thats right I started school again finally after that what seemed like a forever break hehe. I love school. I am not sure if it cause I am studying what I want to, and not because I am forced to go, and learn about something I have absoulte no interest in. I am not sure but whatever is its working haha. I have to say I am proud of myself I challenged myself this semster I took classes that I knew would not be a breeze for me, but I know if I put my mind to it, and really focus I will do marvelous I have no worries. I was supposed to have been able to check in on Saturday, but they were having issues with the online system so I wasnt actually able to until Sunday, and man oh man, I already have tons of homework, and tests coming, but I dont mind it keeps me busy.

So Friday night after I got home from work, it was just my mom, Kahlia, Huter, and I at home, dad went to the cabin for the night to do some work. We had a delicios dinner courtesy of my mom, and then I took the family out to Dairy Queen for ice cream it was a fun little family outtin minus one. Then we went home, and watch Sydney White it is such a cute movie. Just a real low key Friday night with the family but it was awesome.

Saturday I was sooo super stoked to check into school and get started right away so I could watch the football games on Sunday, and what do you know the system is down... LAME hehe oh well I did some laundry cleaned up around the house a little was pretty lazy all day. Then my freind Janea, Melody, Patrick, and some of his freinds from work all went out to Gram Central Station I normally dont like going there, but I actually had a lot of fun, we watched everyone yes including Patrick about 5 times haha karoke some were good and some were horrible which was worth laughing at, got to see some people from high school I have seen in forever so all in all it was a good night out.

Sunday was the best day of the weekend..... CARDINALS WON AND ARE HEADED TO THE SUPERBOWL YAHHHHHHHHH BABBYYYYYYYYYYYYYY....hehe sorry just a little excited, its so exciting and such a huge accomplishment for the team, I am so proud of them they never gave up. Its so funny with all the negativity out there they just gave what they had, and showed everyone what they are really made of , it just goes to show when you have faith, dedication, and determination anything is impossible. It was and still is history in the making, and its so remarkable. This year has been such a huge year with things around the country changing dramatically. I have a feeling this year is going to define whats to come from here on out, and not only is it a huge year for the US but me personally I have so many big things happening in my life. I am going to be blessed to be an anutie again, I am going to be going to school on campus full time in the fall, I am going to be moving out on my own, and so many other incredible head starts on to the journey of my own, and its so exciting I cant even put into words how happy I am everyday that I am so blessed and fortunate the live the amazing life that I do, I def enjoy and cherish it for those who werent able to. Well thats about all for now I will update again soon, I hope everyone has a wonderful week... xoxox

Realizations.....

Haha I thought this is the cutest picture, for all of you that know me I looooove elephants.... Anyways, I have been inspired to start blogging my daily happenings eventhough I am not married or dont have kids, but I feel its important, to let people know whats going on with me, especially the ones I dont see on a daily basis. So as I was sitting at work today with nothing to do which isnt uncommon haha, but anyways I was sitting here thinking where has the time gone?! Just yesterday I remember graduating from high school, leaving to go to the military, and now here it's 2009 already. Man I guess the saying is true time flies when your having fun. I have learned so much about myself, and life over the past 5 years its insane how much I have grown as a person, I have been through many ups and also downs, but its the not letting it bring me down, and being thankful for what I do have that keeps me strong. I am at the happiest point I think I have ever been in my life. I went through a horrible break up over 2 years ago, and I was devasted at first but i got through and now he is one of my best freinds, and i realized that it was not needing to fix things with him to make me happy, but to work on the realtionship with myself so that no matter what happens I will always be happy. True happiness comes from with inside you, everything with fall into place, and thats where I am at in my life. I am so extremely happy with myself, that everything else just seems to make me even happier its the best feeling in the world, and I have the greatest people to share it with. over the past 5 years, i have learned how to become a strong person, and deal with things in a positive way no matter what, it took some time to get there but I am there, and I am a much stronger person becasue of the things I have been through. I am so extremely excited to be starting school again, my dreams are finally coming true i knew i could do it, it was just a matter of having faith, and believing in myself, and here I am today fulling my life long dreams its amazing let me tell you. So I guess I just wanted put some thoughts out there on paper hehe, its easier for me to express, and open myself up to people through writing than it is speaking...so you will prob see quite a few posts daily hehe...well hope everyone has a lovely day....and i will be leaving a quote I have come up with on my own at the bottom of all my blogs... lemme know what you think!!!! xoxo

Quote of the day: Saying you can't, is just another way of saying you won't
