Long Time GONE!!

Well it has been a very very long time since I last posted. Here is the update:

At  the end of January I was called to be one of the Co-Chairs of the Young Single Adult Summit this year which means I had to be released from my teaching calling. ( I was sad about that) No no really I was. I miss teaching an helping people understand the gospel. I miss how reading an studying became a regular part of my week. I have slacked off pretty bad, but am starting this week to get back on track. Ok now on to other things. Feb an March saw nothing to exciting but now April, has been a good month!! Cindy an I went on our first Cruise to Cabo San Lucas with about 700 other LDS Young an Mid Single Adults. I met a lot of really great people an some fun new friends!! OH!! I can't forget the cute men I met(oh how I wished I still lived in Arizona)!!  I drove my first ATV an went Parasailing!!  Life has been stressful but after this vacation I feel like I could tackle the world. Well once I recover from this cold I caught on the last day of the cruise.  After the cruise Cindy an I caught up with our singles ward in St. George an stayed there till Saturday afternoon.

Now I am home catching up on laundry an blogging while still trying to figure out how to get rid of this icky cold that has now consumed my entire upper an lower respiratory system... Oh so not a good way to end a great vacation. A girl just needs a good guy to come take care of her an make her feel better!! Oh WHERE ARE YOU??

New Year New Goals, An Rockstar's Girlfriend Photobooth

So my new goal this year is to be a better blogger an to study Isaiah and the Old Testament. Seeing as I will be  teaching that this year for Gospel Doctrine.

Ok on to updates. We last visited in the about a month ago an a few new things have happen! To start off the Holidays I sprang or snapped the Ligament in the left forefront of my foot. I am in a BIG FAT UGLY walking boot and crutches for 8 weeks then another 4 weeks in just crutches so a total of 12 weeks till this foot heals. So I should be ready to wear my heels again by Mid March just in time for no more snow an glorious Spring!!

As I shared with you in our last meeting my roommate Cindy, her dad an I started a company called Rockstar's Girlfriend Photobooth. We finally received our pretty pink photobooth on Christmas Eve an had our first Bridal Show on January 2nd, 2010. We had so much talking to the Brides an their Mothers. We decided we didn't want to pressure the couples to feel the need to book with us that day so we have decided to run our Bridal show special until January 16th 2010 when we will then be in another Bridal Show at La Callie!!  If things go the way we are hoping an praying they do we should be booked solid by the first February!!

The Photo's posted below are from the Bridal Show an from Sunday Night Fun with some friends at our apartment!!!! We have the party place with the Kitty Tickle Tower ( The Photobooth) and Bubbles Leatherbutton (The Stripper Pole)

Sorry!! New Jobs & fun Pictures

Sorry It has been FOREVER. I know I know some days I just don't feel like blogging ok ok the last month I just haven't felt like it. BUT.... New things are starting to happen an I thought you guys would like to know.

October:

First off October was fun I spent a few weeks in Arizona for Mandy's wedding. It was a ton of fun and she looked beautiful. ( can't wait to see the pictures) October ended with not much going on.

November:s

This time of year with the holidays and not being near family and having my parents gone is kind of hard to deal with so I sorta have closed myself off from people and things, I know it's not the best thing to do but it's how I deal with the pain. I had plans to spend Thanksgiving at home alone enjoying the peace and quite but had those plans canceled by my sweet roommate Lindsay who opened her home and family to me and invited me to spend the Holiday with them, I wasn't the happiest of campers to not be sleeping ALL DAY, but... I am so glad I went. They all made me feel so welcomed and loved. Thank you Boucher and Burton family!!

So Cindy took some very fun roommate photo's for us, we held up letters of our name an they came out so good. I have posted the final product and a few practice shots! Enjoy!!! I know I had a BLAST taking them!!

November, also saw a new adventures in my work life, my roommate Cindy and I started up our own Business!!! It is called Rockstar's Girlfriend Photobooth. We rent out portable photobooths for all sorts of events and parties. We are so excited about this and can't wait to have our first booking!! Hopefully we'll have a website up an running soon and we are hopeing to be a part of the 2010 Wedding Expo's in January!! Wish us LUCK and someday GOOD FORTUNE!!

Last Saturday my friend Nate and I attended the BYU- UTAH rivalry game. It was so much fun and I am glad we could go. But after 4 hours of screaming and yelling the Cougars (BYU) came through and WON!!WOOHOO and I lost my voice which was not good cause I had to teach the Chastity lesson Sunday! I had a great time with this one. It was so much fun, I decided to hit the topic head on and not let it be awkward , seeing as my past involved breaking this law I had a little more insight on the importance of obeying this law. After class people told me this lesson was my best one by far. I guess that's what happens when you teach gospel principals with life lessons you get a better view at the real meaning behind the Lords many laws principles and commandments. I am grateful the Lord has aloud me to have the chance to teach and use my trails and my life as a way to help others know there is a way back no matter how far you have fallen.

I'll write again once things start to get more interesting in December... Stay tuned

Funtimes with fun Friends

On Thursday the boys and I met some friends at the Zoo. We saw the cute new baby elephant and other fun animals!! I love being able to take the boys out and about. We have been able to experience a few different activities, The Zoo, The Children Discovery Museum, The Dinosaur Park and a few little new parks around the neighborhood. I have also taken them to see some friends play at Pizza Factory and they just loved that. Here are some pictures of our different adventures!! I must say I have the BEST job EVER!!! I get paid to play ALL DAY LONG!!! What's not to love about that!!!

Back to Arizona for Mandy's WEDDING!!

Well time has flown by. I am back in Arizona for 10 days to help celebrate Mandy's wedding! I flew into town on Friday night October 9th and will be here until Monday morning of the 19th. The festivities began on Tuesday when Mandy went to the Temple to take out her endowments. What a wonderful experience it was. As I sat there I was taken back to when I took out my endowments almost 4 years ago. I am sooo glad I went when I did. Had I thought I knew better then the Lord, I would have missed the chance to have at least one parent sitting physically in the temple with me. My temple experience was one of great emotion for me. I hope I will always remember the wonderful beautiful spirit I felt that day in November. Back to Mandy's BIG DAY... We are having her Bachelorette Party Thursday night and then Friday we are meeting in the morning for Manicures and Pedicures!! ( My favorite part). Friday night is the rehearsal dinner and Renae and I have to each come up with a toast for the happy couple. Then SATURDAY is the BIG DAY!! Mandy and Lowell are getting sealed in the Mesa Temple that morning! I am so excited for her!

While I am over the moon happy for my best friend, I can't help but feel a little sad for myself. Yes I am going to pull out my little pity party. Why you ask?? Well because it's my blog and my place to vent and cry if I need to. In the recent week 4 other people I know have gotten engaged. I also still have 2 more wedding to attend after this one. With all this LOVE and wedding stuff around me it's only normal I feel a pinch of heartache. I would be lying to myself if I said I didn't . But I am slowly realizing I may need to just let go of this dream of ever having my day. The older I get the less and less chance I have of finding Mr. Right. This is a sad thing to accept but some times you just need to and move on with life. So after this hard wedding season passes I am going to do just that. I am going to put all my energy into working my jobs and focusing on my callings of teaching and the YSA program. Maybe those will distract me from dwelling on the things in my life that aren't coming. Sorry for the Pity me. But it's either here or staying pint up for a MAJOR explosion later.

Long time GONE!! Covering August & Septemebr...

Boys are napped house work is done now time to start some bloggin fun!!

Well August came and went with a bustle of activity. It started of with The Young Single Adult Summit the 7th-9th. Oh was that fun. I was honored to play dorm mom to about 20 Young Single Adults from Green river Wyoming. These kids were AWESOME and I had a great time hanging out an getting to know them. I was sad to see them head back home Sunday night after the fireside, but I know I will see them again. You see, since this little venture went so well I have been asked by the Area Seventy over the Green river Stake to help him implement a YSA program up there. I am so HAPPY for this amazing opportunity to serve the YSA's in Wyoming. After the summit finished and I sent my children back to WY I packed my suitcase and headed out to my SUNNY AZ!! It was only a quick 5 day trip but it was so needed. After AZ I returned home with just enough time to wash my clothing and pack again to go with my singles ward to Bear Lake. That was a fun trip and I am glad I went. I learned a whole bunch about the dynamics of my new ward and sadly I was not impressed. I learned that there is a core group pf girls and unless you have something they need they would rather not speak to you. The saddest part about this is, this group consist of the RS president and her friends. I have met a bunch of girls in the ward who feel left out. No worries though, if you know me at all you know the minute I heard this I took it to the Bishop. Well things are changing and hopefully the RS and come together as sisters of the gospel. August ended pretty quietly Thank goodness

On to September...
September started off great I thing I worked only a few days the first couple weeks. So I spent my off time staying up late and getting up early I know I know not a good idea Sadly this month has been a little slow not much to report... I finally tough the Marriage lesson in Sunday school. IT went really well and I was proud of the responses I received. The Lord truly inspired me on this one and the other lessons since. I can't remember if it was the month of August or September but I OFFICIALLY graduated from counselling! YAHOO!!! Angela my counselor was phenomenal in helping me deal with losing my mom and other horrible personal things that happened last year. I am so grateful for her amazing council and her friendship. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. You and the lord truly helped save me.

Now that I have my own computer at home I promise to be better at this and to add more pictures of my life and time. Also I will add stories and pictures of my little buddies (the boys I nanny). Well I'm off to rest and clean the playroom!!

God be with you tell we blog again.

More to come!!

I've been to Arizona, Bear Lake and Deer Valley since my last blog. Tons to tell just not enough time to write it. Babies are up and nap time is over :o( will write soon!!
