JUST A QUICK UPDATE

SO APPARENTLY I HAVE BEEN INTO PICTURES AS OF LATE. BUT I JUST THINK THAT PICTURES DO A BETTER JOB THAN I DO AT TELLING A STORY. I AM ONE OF THOSE PHOTO HAPPY PEOPLE, I HAVE HUNDREDS OF PICTURES FROM THE LAST YEAR, I'M NOT KIDDING. HUNDREDS. JUST ASK PAUL. UNTIL HE TALKED ME INTO PUTTING MY PHOTOS ON A CD, I HAD CLOSE TO 500 PICTURES ON MY CAMERA. BUT THIS IS NOT THE POINT OF THIS BLOG. YOU PROLLY DON'T EVEN CARE HOW MANY PICTURES ARE ON MY CAMERA.

SO I GOT MY ROOTS DYED YESTERDAY, AND I MUST SAY I FEEL MUCH BETTER ABOUT LIFE NOW. I WAS OUT IN SALT LAKE YESTERDAY AND IT WAS GOOD TO GET AWAY FROM LOGAN FOR A LITTLE BIT. NOT THAT I DON'T LIKE LOGAN, IN FACT I LOVE LOGAN!! BUT ITS ALWAYS NICE TO CHANGE THINGS UP A BIT. I SPENT THE WHOLE DAY WITH MY MOM AND ALSO GOT TO SEE MY GRANDPARENTS.

I HAD A FANTASTIC CONVERSATION WITH KYLIEGH LAST NIGHT AND I GOT TO SEE TYE AND MICHELLE. ITS ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE FRIENDS YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IN AWHILE. I DON'T THINK I HAD SEEN TYE IN ALMOST THREE WEEKS. WHICH IS NO BEUNO CAUSE HE LIVES LESS THEN 2 MINUTES AWAY FROM ME. I GUESS WE BOTH JUST GOT BUSY.

(ME, FATHER, MOTHER, MANDY)

THANKS GIVING IS NEXT WEEK. MANDY ISN'T COMING HOME, SHE SHALL BE MISSED. BUT I THINK EVERYONE ELSE IS GOING TO BE THERE. WE ARE EATING AT MY AUNT LORI'S HOUSE THIS YEAR AND THEN AFTER WE ARE GOING TO SEE TWILIGHT (BOOYEAH!) SO I THINK IT WILL BE A GOOD THANKSGIVING!

YOU'LL ALWAYS BE MY BEST FRIEND

I wish I knew you Way back when Before you were part of my plans
I think that we would have been friends

There's only time to live our lives
And you'll be the one who's by my side
And I can promise you then
You'll always be my best friend

Till the end when we part I will give you my heart And I'll promise to love you with all that it is And I'll promise to be there whenever you need me Because you'll always be my best friend

You'll always be my best friend

I got friends all over this country

I got friends in other countries too

I got friends I haven't met yet I got friends I never knew

I got lovers whose eyes I've only seen at a glance

I got strangers for great grandchildren

I got strangers for ancestors- Ani Difranco



My foot to the floor I will drive to the placeWhere I can kick it with friends through the night A place we'll talk about now and the past what the future holds Hanging out with not much to do Just aimless with each other - is what we do

Cause this ain’t where it’s at My friends will second that And I gotta admit sometimes it’s pretty sad But it's like were our own brat pack We're always kickin back nobody can take that And that is that it’s like its all we have - The Rocket Summer

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

BIRTHDAYS, HALLOWEEN AND STUFF

as you know we celebrated my mom's birthday a few weeks ago. mandy flew back in from colorado and chels came up from salt lake and i came down from logan land! we took her out to eat at bucca di bebo and we ate ourselves silly!! we had pizza and garlic bread and caprize and chicken and pasta and of course we had dessert!! i havent eaten that much in one sitting in a long long time!!! it was so good!! after dinner the sisters hopped in one car and our parents hopped in another and we all met down town at the clark planitarium. call me a geek or a nerd or whatever, but i freakin love the clark planitarium!! its just so much fun! we bought our tickets for the "rock on demand" lazer light show and then hung around the planitarium untill the show started. there was, of course, lots to see. i gave a fake weather report and was on tv and everything! it was rather magical. we read about the planets and what they are made of and all that jazz. then we discovered that there were places set up to look like the moon and mars. needless to say we went a little photo happy and crazy!! it was great fun!! our show was great! it included songs like "sandman" and "tom saywer" and of course "another brick in the wall" among others!! if you ever get a chance to see a lazer light show, do it. and that pretty much sums up mom's 50th birthday bash!
so i guess that brings us up to halloween, one of my favorite hollidays!!! my friends and i decided to go to the howl! so after i finaly found the perfect shoes for my costume michelle and i went to get ready at my apartment and of course we hit a road block! i couldnt find the leggings that i needed for my costume!! oh no its the end of the world!!! but i eventually just decided on wearing my black knee length running pants. so after we avoided that disaster we got into our costumes and did our make up and headed on over to kyleigh and hilary's place! oh, i guess i should mention what mine and michelle's costumes were. i was cleopatra (only with blond hair) and michelle was minie mouse! so there was alot going on over at ky and hil's! of course there was five girls getting ready to go to a halloween party!! needless to say we had planned on leaving around 830ish maybe 845, and we left for the howl at 10! there were hords of people at the howl! ive never see so many fat girls in tight clothes in one place in my life!!! it was rediculous!! but, on the other hand there were some pretty cool costumes! there was one kid dressed up as edward sicssor hands! his costume was AWESOME!! there were a few bands that played, one of them being "love you long time" michelle and i went to see them and it was pretty awesome!! the only bad thing was that they had them play in a small room and everyone was dancing and jumping around and it got really really really hot in there! but it was so worth it!! they are so good live!!! shell and i then met back up with kyleigh and hilary and rikelle and we danced our little hearts out untill "recyled percussion" took the stage! i had never heard of them before that night. they make their music using things like chain saws on metal and ladders and garbage cans and stuff like that! it was so neat! when they played on the latters they would climb up them and then jump of and stuff like that! it was pretty radtastic! they were fun to watch! after all that dancing and partying we were pretty wiped and hungry, we stoped off at mcdonalds on the way home and got some food and i fell asleep pretty fast after we ate. all in all it was a good halloween!
and on with the "stuff" section of this blog. im afraid to say that the little baby i blogged about last didnt pull through. there was nothing the doctors could do for him and they pulled him off life support wednessday evening around six. there will be a service this saturday, and of course i have to work, so i wont be able to attend. i wish i could.
on a happier note! i have recently made friends with the boys next door! yay!! i love new friends! well i guess not all of them are new friends! my old neighbor, aaron, is still my neighbor. so i guess that doesnt make him my old neighbor, just my neighbor. anyway. back to the point. i have made new friends with trent mckay and jacob! they are pretty nice guys! its good to have nice neighbors. for the record a couple of my roomies are driving me up the wall!! and i dont really want to take the time to explaine it all. plus you will prolly find it boring to read. well thats pretty much all that is going on with my life, thanksgiving is coming up, but whatev. i could take it or leave it. well i guess i will catch ya next time!

I DONT KNOW WHAT TO CALL THIS ONE

two weeks ago my boss, ted, had his first grandchild. a little girl named elizabeth. the whole preganancy went well and the baby was born heathy. all is looking well for little elizabeth. but just this last weekend, my other boss, sandy recived her first grandchild. a little boy name kaden. but unfortunatly things are'nt looking good for kaden. while he was only born about two weeks early, he has a hole in his lung and his hip is dislocated. then we found out that he is missing a kidney and the kidney that he does have isnt functioning right and has sists on it. and on top of all this he has a hole in his heart and has no bladder. i cant even express how incredibly sad and upset this makes me. its just not fair. and i know that nothing is fair. but it just seems like somethings are much more unfair. just to prove my point, my co worker cathy, just told us that her daughter is expecting thier first child in may. we have so many emotions going on in my office right now! im not sure i can handle all of this!! my heart is breaking for sandy and her daughter, but im so happy for ted and cathy!! things like this make me not want to have kids. i mean i really really do want to have kids, but i think that i would be completly heartbroken if i lost a child. im not sure i could deal with it. but then i have to realize that there are so many heathly babies that have never had any problems! and its not worth it to live in any kind of fear. once again, you just have to have faith that god knows what he is doing.
