Let's hear it for some back bone!

I have a problem...I don't have a back bone! Bug me enough and I give in, give me 10 minutes to calm down and come talk to me and I'll be fine. But at this moment of time. I'm done. I'm done giving in. I'm done being nice to someone who's just going to walk ALL over me and treat me nice ONLY when they want something. I'm lucky enough to have such great friends and family that talk me through stuff and listen to me vent to only watch me go back and do that same exact mistake again. Well guess what? I grew a back bone over night and I'm not giving in anymore. I'll do what's best for me and I'm going to stop letting them walk all over me. But here comes the hardest part...actually standing up for myself, but I'm going to do it. And I'm going to be happy about it, so goodbye to the tears, hurt feelings, and "I'm fine" answers.

Temple Trips!

These last two or three weeks I've had the opportunity to go to the Okur Mountain and Jordan River Temple. I've never been to either one but they are both GORGEOUS! Jordan River was a little busy for me but Okur Mountain was wonderful. I love going there and being able to just think and pray and read the scriptures and be able to feel the spirit so close. I'm so grateful that we have so many so close! And I know I did complain about the drive both times but still they are pretty dang close to home compared to other members, ( I'm just used to being spoiled :D ) Anyway, it was so much fun and I love the feeling I get when I go and that I have so many people around me that go with me.

Peter Pan

I have a problem...I don't want to grow up! I want to do what I want, when I want, and not have to worry about work and all that! But we all have to grow up sometime in our life, I'm just not going to do it willingly :) Anyway I went Skydiving last weekend. It was Amazing!!! SCARY but awesome! The view from the top is the best although I don't like how they swing you out and pull you back in twice!
       Oregon is next week, can't wait! I finally feel like I'm starting to do what I've always wanted to. I'm chasing my dreams and nobody can hold me back. It's an awesome feeling to be doing what I love and just exploring what is here! Yes I do have my bad mood days (sunday...sorry Mom, Dad, & Braeden) but for the most part I'm learning that it's me that has to deal with me when I'm in a bad mood and I'm not very nice. So why not be happy? I'm trying and it is wonderful the difference it has made. So here I am happy, living my dreams, and never really going to grow up :)

An American Soldier's Sister



When I was younger I never really would think about those who fought for our freedom, until my brother joined the Airforce. The older I get the more I love this country and those who fight for us, (probably because it has affected me.) It takes a great person to do that, they are so brave! Being a sister of an American soldier affects me and my family so much, my brother has served in Afaganistan and is currently serving in Iraq. He come's come in 2 weeks and I can't wait to have him back on American Soil. Those that have served, are currently serving, who are just joining, and those who have died for this country, Thank you so much! I have so much respect for soliders who leave their family to protects yours. This is especially the time of year to think about it with Memorial day and all the holiday's coiming up. So to all of those who are in the military, God bless you and your family and thank you for doing what you are doing!

Tractors, trucks, and tinkerin around

You know you live in a small farming town when it's not an unusal sight to see tractors and the biggest possible trucks parked at Hoagies ha

Yesterday for FHE we went to the Brigham City Temple to see how it was coming along and then after we went to Peach City for Ice Cream. (Peach City is AMAZING! I love it there) On the way there Aly and Manuel where picking up guys for us, it was so funny becasue the boys looked at us like we were crazy. All the pictures that were taken are on Manuel's camara so I'll post those later.

For awhile now I've wanted to do my own garden...but I've never done one by myself. So since yesterday was finally not raining I went out to get it ready to plant :) I forgot to wear gloves so now I've got MAJOR blisters, but it feels good to be sore from hard work. Anyway with my dads help I've got Cucumbers, Lemon Cucumbers, Carrots, Radishs, Beans, Tomatoes, Peppers, Watermelon, Pumkins, Zucchini, Squash and I think that's it, but I can't remember, all planted. I can't wait for it all to come up :)  I'll post pictures as soon as I get some!

PS--I fixed my own brake light, look at me go

Stressed out to the max

I know it has been like a month since I updated but I seriously haven't had time....not even kidding. This last weekend really sucked, I have a boss that I DO NOT get along with at all and he pretty much yelled at me and gave me the ultimatum...pick a job I love and work for the mean one and my career or pick a dead end job that is ok but I love the people I work with. So sunday after I get home from jumping on the tramp I go read my email from the salon guy and start crying, end up crying myself to sleep, wake up and go the salon...on my day off...and then go to Watson's. And really when I get stressed out I do not handle it well, I get bloody noses, can't sleep, and get Crack eyes ha. Tina (bless her little heart didn't expect me to do this) asked me how my weekend was and I just started crying, not little tears either, like I can't breath cry, and really the people there are the most AWESOME people ever, most the guys just ask me if I'm okay give me a half hug, but the girls there are the best. Kim just let me cry on her shoulder. ANYWAYS I ended up quiting a place I love for a place in Hell :) JK...but seriously, anyway more crying through out the day. Tuesday I go back to Watsons and even though I do feel like crap it does make you feel a little better that everyone is kinda mad at you for leaving...they really did like me! ha I am REALLY going to miss that place, I've grown up there and found who I am, they've been with me through break-ups and graduation and all my different hair colors. The people are so nice and like my friends, they all watch out for me and have got my back no matter what. And if any of you are reading this, don't make fun, and I LOVE YOU!!
