My New Year's Resolutions for 2012

2012-01-19T00:35:00.001-07:00

My New Year's Resolutions for 2012 are:

1. To Live Out Loud. To make the most of each and every moment. And to care for all those around me, because that's what makes life worth living. ( I stole this from my cousin Ashtyn. I really like it and want to do it aswell.)

2. I want to be more positive. (I stole this from my friend Sarah and I agree with her that I to want to be more positive in my life this year.)

3. I want to try not to take things personally. What people often say is a reflection of them and not me.

4. I want to not let things get to me like they do. I need to just let the things go and to not worry about them like I do.

5. To read a new book once a month or for however long it will take me to read the book.

6. To be on a stricter diet and to not eat dairy whatsoever this year. And to start working out so I can lose more weight. I want to weigh 120 by the end of this year.

7. To keep my 3 blogs all up to date and to work on my deviantart page and keep that all up to date as well.

8. To work on my scrapbooks through out the year and keep them all up to date too.

9. To clean my bedroom from head to toe and get rid of a lot of stuff that I don't need anymore.

10. To come up with a new name for my photography business. Get a new website for my photography business and find new ways to get more business. I love being a photographer and want to do this job full time and for the rest of my life.

Trip to Disneyland for 4 days in 2011/2012

2012-01-17T19:00:00.003-07:00

My family and I had a great time on our trip to Disneyland in 2011 and 2012. We have never been to Disneyland during the holiday season so we wanted to go and check it out. We left on our trip to Disneyland on December 26th and we returned home on January 2nd. My family and I drove to Disneyland last month. We wanted to leave at 9am but didn't leave until after 10am. First, we ran an errand at the post office. Got some brunch at Mcdonald's and got some goodies at a gas station. After the gas station we got on I-15 and headed for Southern California. My niece Alyssa slept on me for over an hour on our way to Disneyland. We made pretty good time until we hit Las Vegas. We started playing the game Catch Phrase in the car just before we got to Las Vegas. We had a good time playing Catch Phrase in the car. We stopped in Las Vegas to go to Savers. After Savers we ate dinner at Mcdonald's. After dinner we drove down the Las Vegas strip to show my nieces. We got to watch the volcano go off at The Mirage from our car. After the strip we got back on I-15 and headed for our motel in Anaheim,Ca. While we were driving on the freeway we got stuck in traffic for 2 hours. We got stuck in it from Primm to Bakersfield. We got to our motel in Anaheim at 11:30pm. We would have gotten to our motel at 8pm or 9pm if we didn't get stuck in traffic. For the past 2 years we have seemed to get stuck in traffic on our way to Disneyland and not on our way home. When we were at our motel that night we figured out that our motel used to be Red Roof Inn where my family and I stayed at in 2005. Now, it's Motel 6 and they remodeled all of the rooms. When we were there in 2005 our room was on the bottom floor. When we stayed there last month our room was on the 4th floor.
   On December 27th was our first day at Disneyland on this trip. We got to Disneyland a little bit after 12pm. First we ate lunch at Red Rocket's Pizza Port. I got their Asian Chicken Salad for lunch that day and it was so yummy. Our first ride we went on was Space Mountain and waited in line for 2 hours. I think that is the longest I have waited in line for a ride in a long time. In the evening we went over to California Adventures for a couple of hours. We went on Tower of Terror, It's Tough to be a Bug, The Littler Mermaid and Toy Story Mania. We went to Denny's for dinner that night.
   On December 28th we spent the whole day at Disneyland. We went on Buzz Lightyear, Autopias, Matterhorn, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Splash Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Haunted Mansion and Star Tours. I think we also went on Space Mountain and Captain EO that day too.
   On December 29th we went to Disneyland from 8:30am until midnight. We went on Star Tours, Sleeping Beauty Castle walk through, Splash Mountain, The Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear, Matterhorn and Indiana Jones. I know we went on some more rides that day but the ones I just mentioned I took pictures of. We also watched a little bit of Fantasmic that day.
   On December 30th we took this day off and relaxed. I woke up in the morning feeling crappy. I started getting sick this day with post nasal drip. In the afternoon I went out to lunch with my friend Brandie and her Grandma at the Rainforest Cafe at Downtown Disney. It was my first time to Downtown Disney. I had a great time visiting with my friend Brandie that day even though I didn't feel good. In the evening my family and I went swimming. I sat in the hot tub for a while while my nieces and my brother went swimming. It felt so nice to sit in the hot tub and relax. After swimming my niece Alyssa and I watched the Disneyland fireworks from our motel room and they were really good. I wanted to take pictures of the fireworks but my battery was charging. For dinner that night we got take out from Wendy's and Popeye's. We went to bed early that night so we could get to Disneyland early in the morning for Magic Mornings.
   On December 31st we went to Disneyland and California Adventures for New Year's Eve. We were there from 7:30am until 1am. I woke up that morning at 5:30am and was awake until 2am that day. When we got to Disneyland we went on Star Tours, Space Mountain, Autopias, Buzz Lightyear. Then we went to California Adventures and went on Tower of Terror 3 times in a row, ate lunch and went on Grizzly River Rapids. Then, we went back over to Disneyland and went on Big Thunder Mountain, Matterhorn, It's a Small World, Gadget's Go Coaster, Splash Mountain, Monorail, Matterhorn, Big Thunder Mountain, saw the fireworks go off in the fog by Big Thunder Mountain and went on Pirates of the Caribbean. Then, we went back over to California Adventures to watch the New Year's Eve firework show. When we got to California Adventures we went to Flynn's to play some video games and checked out Electronica while we were there. Then, we went on Tower of Terror and then watched the New Year's Eve firework show. After the firework show was over we got to watch a little bit of World of Color. After that I went on The Little Mermaid ride while the rest of the my family went shopping. I met up with them at one of the stores and then we walked back to our motel.
   On January 1st we checked out of our motel a little bit after 11am. We got some lunch at Jack in the box. After lunch we got on the freeway and headed for Las Vegas. We stopped in Las Vegas for a little while and to go to Savers. After Savers we got back on the freeway and headed for Mesquite. We were going to spend the night in Mesquite but when we called them they said that they had a water leek so we couldn't spend the night there. So, we spent the night at Red Cliffs Inn in St. George.
On January 2nd we checked out of our motel at 11am. We got some lunch and headed for Orem. We stopped in Orem to go to Savers. After shopping at Savers we went to Jamba Juice. After Jamba Juice we got back on the freeway and headed for home. We got home at almost 7pm. I had a great time on this trip to Disneyland except for being on that wonderful time of the month and getting sick with post nasal drip. I went to see my doctor a couple of days later and found out that I was sick with bronchitis. I will be posting the pictures that I took on this trip on my All Things Disneyland blog in the next few days. Take care everyone and have a great rest of the week!!!

Dog Sitting Wheatie on 11/16 to 11/25/2011

2011-12-22T12:27:00.000-07:00

I started my dog sitting job late at night on Wednesday the 16th of November. My aunt Robyn and her family went to Florida the next day for Thanksgiving. On the 17th I took Wheatie for a walk around the block and in the evening I ran some errands at Walmart. On the 18th I took Wheatie for a walk around the block during the day. In the evening I got together with my friends Cristy, Becca and Maggie for a Girls Night Out at Iggy's. We all drove to Iggy's in a horrible snow storm that night but we all had a great time at dinner and catching up with each other. On the 19th took Wheatie for a walk around the block during the day. In the evening went out to dinner with my Dad, my brother and my nieces at Cafe Rio. After dinner I ran and errand at WinCo. On the 20th Wheatie and I went to my house in the evening. My nieces and I took Wheatie for a walk around the block. We ate dinner with my family and on my way back to my aunt Robyn's house Wheatie and I stopped at 711. On the 21st I took my computer in to Ace Computers to get fixed. It had another damn virus. After I took my computer in I went to Walmart and got a manicure. On the 22nd I took Wheatie for a walk around the block. Didn't get to take Wheatie for a walk on Monday so we went for a long walk on Tuesday. On the 23rd I took Wheatie for a walk around the block during the day. In the evening I went to Ace Computers to pick up my computer. On Thanksgiving Wheatie and I went to my house in the afternoon. We ate Thanksgiving dinner with my Mom, my brother and my nieces. It was great eating yummy food and spending time with my family. After my nieces left Wheatie and I went on a walk around the block. In the evening Wheatie and I went over to visit with my Dad. While we were visiting my Dad, I also got to visit with my Grandpa, my aunt LeeAnn and my cousins Garrison and Maggie. My aunt LeeAnn, Maggie, Wheatie and I went to 711 and got a Slurpee. Wheatie and I didn't get home until 10:30pm that day. On the 25th I took Wheatie for a walk during the day. In the evening I got done with my job at 8:30pm. After I was done with my job I met my Dad for dinner at Ihop's. In my next couple of posts I'll be posting pictures that I took while I was dog sitting. Take care everyone and have a great rest of the week!!!

A Christmas Poem

2011-12-18T19:52:00.001-07:00

A Christmas Poem

by William F. McDermott

Christmas time is the most wonderful time.

It is the time when our thoughts center on the goodness of our Savior.

When we try to live our lives as He commanded, we discover there is joy beyond all measure.

So, let Christmas come into your world and bring you warmth and cheer.

Bring you faith in place of doubt and strength in place of fear.

Let Christmas bring you hope and bring you love to guide your heart forever.

Yes, let Christmas come into your world and bring us all together.

Pearl Harbor

2011-12-07T14:08:00.001-07:00

70 years ago today Pearl Harbor was attacked. I lost my great uncle in that attack. He was the Captain of the West Virginia and received the congressional medal of honor. His name is Mervyn S. Bennion. My friends and I went to Pearl Harbor on May 24, 2005. It was a powerful experience when I went there.

Dessi

2011-12-05T21:20:00.001-07:00

Today is my dog Dessi's birthday. She would have been 21 years old today. Happy Birthday, Dessi!!! I love and miss you so much!!! You were the best dog a girl could ask for and my best friend. We got Dessi on May 19, 1992. She was a birthday present for my brother Tyler. She was 16 months old when we got her. My family and I all feel in love with her when we first saw her in our backyard. Dessi slept downstairs in my brother's bedroom the first night. The next day and for quite a few years Dessi slept in my bedroom with me. We found out that Dessi likes girls way better then she likes boys. On my birthday the following year my brother gave me Dessi as my birthday present. Which was the best birthday present ever!!! Dessi loved being petted, hated taking baths, hated the blow dryer, loved being out in the snow and she loved my Mother and I. My Mom and I had to put Dessi to sleep on March 4, 2002. It was the worst day of my life having to put my best friend to sleep. Here are some of my favorite pictures of Dessi and I. I love you Dessi very much and miss you like crazy. Happy Birthday, my sweet Dessi!!!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!!

2011-11-24T11:33:00.001-07:00

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!! Today Wheatie and I will be spending Thanksgiving at my house in the afternoon. We will be having Thanksgiving dinner with my Mom, my brother and my nieces. In the evening I'm not sure what I'll be doing yet. I might get together with my Dad tonight to celebrate Thanksgiving or we might get together sometime over the weekend. Today I am thankful for my family, my extended family and my friends. They all mean the world to me. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!!

Guess what? I'm going to DISNEYLAND!!!

2011-11-23T14:18:00.001-07:00

Guess what? My family and I are going to Disneyland!!! We are so excited to go there and we can't wait!!! We will be going to Southern California for a week at the end of December. We have never been to Disneyland during the Christmas holidays before and we can't wait to experience it. We will be leaving for Disneyland on Monday December 26th and will be returning home on Monday January 2nd. We will be driving to Southern California this year. So far what we have planned for this trip is that we'll be going to Disneyland for 5 days. Then we will go to either Knott's Berry Farm or Universal Studios for one day. We will be going to Disneyland on New Year's Eve and on New Year's Day. I haven't been to Knott's Berry Farm since 1999 and I haven't been to Universal Studios since 2005. So, I'll be happy to go to either one of those theme parks. But I hope that we go to Knott's Berry Farm instead of Universal Studios because my nieces have never been to Knott's Berry Farm. Plus, I've been craving their funnel cake and boysenberry punch for the longest time now. I'll be taking tons of pictures on this trip like I did on last years trip to Disneyland. And this time I'll be taking some video clips too with my new Canon 60D camera. I love Disneyland so much and it is the happiest place on earth!!!

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

2011-11-11T16:37:00.001-07:00

I finished reading the book Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on October 30th. It was really good but some of the stuff that happened in the book I liked how they did it better in the movie. But I still enjoyed reading the second book of the Harry Potter series. After I read the Chamber of Secrets I watched the movie. I started reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on November 1st. I want to try and finish the book by the end of this month but I will probably finish reading the book sometime in December. I am on page 22 right now and the book ends on page 435. So I have a long way to go still but I know this book is going to be good. And after I am done reading the Prisoner of Azkaban I'll be watching the movie. I can't believe that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 just came out on DVD today. Now, the movies are really over. I wish that they could make a few more Harry Potter movies so that the story could go on and on. I love watching the Harry Potter movies over and over again and I can never get sick of those movies. They are some of the best movies ever made. I wish the director of the first two movies directed all of them. I loved how he filmed the first two movies. I love the actor Richard Harris who played Dumbledore in the first two movies. He did a great job playing him and I wish he played him in all the 7 movies and wished that he didn't die in real life. I thought he was the best Dumbledore. And I wish Harry Potter was The Land Before Time. We'd have 14 more movies to be excited about! Happy Veterans Day, everyone and Happy 11-11-11!!! I hope that all of you have a great weekend!!!

Happy Veterans Day!!!

2011-11-11T13:33:00.001-07:00

The hardest Job? Military! I want to thank all Veterans & Military Personal for defending my Country! Thank You!

Thanks to all the men and women who have served our country, for the innumerable efforts and sacrifices you have made in the past and continue to make today.

What kind of gem are you?

2011-09-26T13:06:00.000-06:00

What kind of gem are you?

I got Turquoise.You tend to be protective, repel negative energy and bring good fortune to your friends, which are many. You have a peaceful, playful spirit, like a clear blue sky. In romance, you are attractive to a partner who makes you laugh. You are drawn to work outdoors.

Daddy-Daddy

2011-09-22T17:18:00.001-06:00

2 years ago today my Grandpa (Daddy-Daddy) passed away. He was the best Grandpa in the whole wide world. He would always say to me "who's the prettiest girl in the world wide world" and I would say "me". I have a lot of great memories of Daddy-Daddy that I will always remember. One of my favorite memories of Daddy-Daddy is when I was a little girl he would take me to go see a movie at Valley Fair Mall. Then we would go get something to eat at Chick-fil-a. He would always come to my band concerts and he liked watching the Jazz band play. After my concerts money would exchange hands. Another memory of Daddy-Daddy is when I had plastic surgery done on my nose Daddy-Daddy came over a couple of times to my house to be with me while my Mom was at work. He would bring me a Jamba Juice and he feed me can peaches. Another memory of Daddy-Daddy is a scary one. My family and I went to my uncle Ryan's football game and his school team was playing Tooele at Tooele. I remember that it was raining while we were at the game. I think I was 4 or 5 at this time. Daddy-Daddy was carrying me up the bleachers and he slipped and fell down some of the bleachers. I got a cut on my forehead when we fell and I'm not sure if Daddy-Daddy was hurt or not. I remember I was more scared for Daddy-Daddy being hurt then if I was hurt. I have a little scar on my forehead from that lovely fall down the bleachers that I will always remember but in a good way. Daddy-Daddy always smelled like cloves when you hug him. And whenever I do smell cloves I always think of him. Another thing I remember about Daddy-Daddy is that whenever we would leave his house he always wanted us to give him a call when we got home. So, that he knows that we made it home safely. I miss you very much Daddy-Daddy and I know that I will see you again. I love you Daddy-Daddy.

Go Utes!!!! Kick BYU's ass!!!

2011-09-17T18:16:00.000-06:00

I'm not a big fan of college sports but when the University of Utah plays BYU especially in football I am a fan. I sure hope that today's game that the UofU kicks BYU's ass and win the game. I think that BYU is a great college and has great programs you can major in. But I think that their sport teams are awful. Go Utes!!!

The Vang's Family Portraits at Murray Park on 7/26/2011

2011-09-14T17:15:00.001-06:00

On July 26, 2011 I shot a family portrait at Murray Park. I shot Mary and Mike Vang's family. Mary and Mike Vang live in my neighborhood and are in my Mom's ward. I have know the Vang's for a very long time. It was so good to see and visit with them on July 26th. I took there pictures at Murray Park in the evening and it rained while we were taking pictures. When we finished taking the pictures it was pouring so we time that perfectly. Here are some of the pictures that I took that day. You can see the rest of the pictures on my photography blog at www.tlgphotographyllc.blogspot.com. Take care everyone and have a great rest of the day.

Pictures of Jester, Duke and Duchess on 7/12/2011 and 7/13/2011

2011-09-13T13:58:00.000-06:00

On July 11th through July 18th I was dog/cat sitting for my Aunt Lorna while she and her family were in Orlando, Florida. It was my first time dog/cat sitting for her and my first time cat sitting. I fell in love with her cat Jester and I'm not a big fan of cats. I'm allergic to dogs and cats but I'm not allergic to Jester because he is a hairless cat. He slept with me every night on my aunt Lorna's bed and I loved it. I love her dogs Duke and Duchess but my allergies don't like them. We had a good time playing fetch all day. When I was dog sitting Duke and Duchess they were naughty a few times. They escaped from the house twice and went to places in the house that they were supposed to go several times. Other then that I had a good time dog/cat sitting for my aunt Lorna and I hope that I get to dog/cat sit for her again. Here are some of the pictures that I took of Jester, Duke and Duchess while I was dog/cat sitting.

The Boy Who Lived

2011-08-25T00:02:00.003-06:00

I finished reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone at 4:15am last night/this morning. It was really good and it was my first time reading it. When I was reading the book I was saying to myself that this scene is a little bit different in the movie. When other people who have read the books first then saw the movies said this part is totally different in the book. I really enjoyed reading this book and it was a pretty easy read. It took me less then a month to read this book. I know that some of the books are going to take me over a month to read the book and that's okay. I think tonight I'm going to watch Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Then, after I watch the movie read more of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I started reading Chamber of Secrets earlier today. I will let you all know when I am finish reading Chamber of Secrets to let you all know what I thought of that book. Take care everyone and have a great rest of the week!!!

Dog Sitting Wheatie from June 28th to July 8th and July 10th-11th 2011

2011-08-12T01:03:00.000-06:00

I went dog sitting for my aunt Robyn from June 28th until July 8th and then back again from July 10th to July 11th. On June 28th was a busy and fun day. During the day I was getting ready for my dog sitting job. In the evening my Mom and I went to my cousin Meghann's baby shower. After the shower I went over to my aunt Lorna's house to go over things because I started dog/cat sitting for her on July 11th. After I was done at my aunt Lorna's house I went over to my aunt Robyn's house to start my dog sitting job. I didn't get to my aunt Robyn's house until after 1am. But when I was at my aunt Lorna's house I found out that my uncle Luke has prostate cancer. They did find the cancer early and he's going to be having surgery done sometime this month to remove the cancer. My thought and my prayers are with my uncle Luke and his family.

On June 30th I had an eye doctor appointment in the afternoon. My old glasses were driving me nuts and I wanted to see if I needed new glasses and to see how my eyes were. My eye doctor told me that one of my eyes is farsighted while my other eye is nearsighted. I thought that was very interesting. I have poor vision actually I call it shitty vision. I'm farsighted but I have tons of astigmatism that it makes me nearsighted. I can never get lazer eye surgery done due to my stupid astigmatism. And if I wanted to get contacts that I would have to get hard contacts. The eye doctor appointment went well but she wanted me to come back in the following Thursday to get my eyes checked out again and to pick out new glasses. After my eye doctor appointment I went to Walmart, home, got gas in my car and went back to my aunt Robyn's house.

On July 1st I went to Rumbi's Island Grill to get me some dinner. After I got my dinner I went over to my friend Cristy's house to visit with her and her family. It was good visiting and catching up with my friend Cristy.

On July 2 my nieces came over to my aunt Robyn's house for a sleep over. After they got to my aunt Robyn's house I think we took Wheatie for a walk. It's been awhile so I can't remember all that happened while I was dog sitting and I forgot to write everything done. I took pictures of my nieces jumping on a tramp and landing on a bed in my aunt's basement. They love doing that and I took some good action shots. After we did that we went out to dinner at Golden Coral. After dinner we came back to my aunt Robyn's house played some games and watched the movie Despicable Me. After the movie we went to bed. On July 3rd my brother came over to my aunt Robyn's house and picked up my nieces.

On July 4th Wheatie and I went to my house for dinner. My family and I ate Sausage Cheese Soup and I took Wheatie for a walk around the block in my neighborhood. While we were leaving to go back to my aunt Robyn's house the Sandy Fireworks were going off. We should of stayed and watched them but Wheatie is afraid of them. When we were driving back home to aunt Robyn's house it was cool to see all the fireworks going off in people's neighborhoods and all the city fireworks too.

On July 5th Wheatie and I went back to my house to visit with my nieces. Wheatie had a fun time playing with my nieces. We got home a little bit after midnight that night.

On July 6th I met my Dad at Just in the afternoon to get our cars safety and emissions done. My car passed and my Dad's car didn't passed. I started feeling and getting sick on this day.

On July 7th What a day! I went to my eye doctor in the early afternoon to get my eyes checked and to pick out my new pair of glasses. I felt like crap while I was at my eye doctor. I picked out and bought my new pair of glasses that cost $340. After I was done with my eye doctor I went to see my normal doctor and I found out that I was sick with a sinus infection. After the doctor I went to Walmart to drop off my prescriptions, went home for a little while, went back to Walmart and then went to my aunt Robyn's house. My uncle Dave was there when I got to my aunt Robyn's house. I thought about coming home that night but I felt like shit and didn't have my bags packed at all. So I slept over for one more night.

On July 8th I got ready to come home because my dog sitting job was done. When I left my aunt Robyn's house I went to Salt Air to take some pictures of the Great Salt Lake. After I was done doing that I went and go some gas in my car. After that I met my family for dinner at Sucasa.

On July 9th my family and I went and saw the movie Transformers 3 in the afternoon. Transformers 3 was awesome. After the movie we went out to dinner at Smokey Mountain Pizza and Pasta. After dinner my niece Rylee and I ran some errands.

On July 10th I was back at my aunt Robyn's house dog sitting Wheatie. I got there in the early afternoon. In the evening I had dinner with my uncle Dave and some people from his singles ward. My uncle is the bishop to a singles ward in West Valley. Dinner was really good. We ate steak, had some veggies, salad and for dessert malts.

On July 11th I got done dog sitting Wheatie in the early afternoon. After that I went to Ream's to get some groceries and then I was on my way to my aunt Lorna's house to dog sit/cat sit for her for a week. I will tell all of you about my dog/cat sitting job in another post later. I hope that all of you have enjoyed reading and looking at my pictures on my blog. I have enjoyed working on my blog and enjoying all of your blogs and comments. Take care everyone and have a great weekend!!!

The book that I'm reading right now is...

2011-07-31T16:00:00.000-06:00

I have 5 make that 6 books on the side of my bed that I am reading, actually needs to finish reading right now. They are Eat Pray Love, The Canning Season, Alice I Have Been, The Almost Moon, Child of the Prophecy and the book that I'm reading right now is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

I hate to read books that I know the whole world is reading at the same time. So I never read the Harry Potter books when they first came out because at that time I wasn't interested in them and I didn't want to read them when everyone in the whole world was reading them at that time. I love watching the Harry Potter movies. And I decided that when I see the last Harry Potter movie that I will start reading the books. So when I do read the books I can picture the actors as the characters in the books. I started reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone the day I saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow's Part 2 on July 25, 2011. After I finish reading the Sorcerer's Stone I'm going to watch the movie. I'm really enjoying the book so far and I will let all of you know how I liked it after I am done reading it.

The books I want to read after the Harry Potter series are The Hunger Games trilogy. I read the plot for the Hunger Games movie and it looks really good and sounds very interesting. After I read The Hunger Games trilogy I will finish reading the 5 books that I have on the side of my bed. I also want to read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo books. I have the first 2 books in paperback and will be reading them sometime in the future. I will still never read the Twilight books. They look really stupid to me and I heard that they are fluff books. Plus they don't interest me at all. And what I've learned about reading books is that you read books that you find interesting and are your favorite books by your favorite authors. I have seen the 3 movies and they were ok. I don't think that they are the best movies ever made. I probably will go see Breaking Dawn when that comes out or I'll go see it when it's at the dollar movie.

I hope that everyone is having a great weekend. I sure am even though I'm not feeling that well. My stupid sinuses have been driving me nuts for the past 2 weeks and I'm getting sick of it. Today is my Mom's birthday and it's also Harry Potter's birthday too. Take care everyone and have a great new week!!!

Living Life

Living Life

Life is not a race- but indeed a journey. Be honest. Work hard. Be choosy. Say "thank you", "I love you", and "great job" to someone each day. Go to church, take time for prayer. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh. Let your handshake mean more than pen and paper. Love your life and what you've been given, it is not accidental- search for your purpose and do it as best you can. Dreaming does matter. It allows you to become that which you aspire to be. Laugh often. Appreciate the little things in life and enjoy them. Some of the best things really are free. Do not worry, less wrinkles are more becoming. Forgive, it frees the soul. Take time for yourself- plan for longevity. Recognize the special people you've been blessed to know. Live for today, enjoy the moment.

Happy 56th Birthday, Disneyland!!!

2011-07-17T22:07:00.000-06:00

56 years ago today the Happiest Place on Earth opened. Happy Birthday, Disneyland!!! My family and I will be going to Disneyland sometime this year. I am so excited!!! We are probably going to go sometime in August to Disneyland. I have had a lot of fond memories of Disneyland trips that will last a lifetime. 30 years ago was my first time to Disneyland when I was 3 years old. My last time I was at Disneyland was when I was 32 years old in 2010. I have been to Disneyland 15 times in my life so far. Whenever I go to Disneyland I turned back into a kid and it is the happiest place on earth. One of my dreams in life is to go to all the Disney theme parks all over the world and to go on the Disney Cruise. I am obsessed with Disneyland and Disney. Another one of my dreams is to get married and have my reception at Disneyland. I think that would be amazing. Happy 56th Birthday, Disneyland!!!

"To all who come to this happy place, welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past... and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, dreams, and the hard facts that have created America... with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration in the world." ---Walt Disney

My 15 Year High School Reunion

2011-06-11T00:23:00.000-06:00

My 15 Year High School Reunion is tomorrow night. I can't believe that it has been 15 years already since I graduated from Jordan High School. My class was the first graduating class from the new Jordan High School. I wanted to have my graduation at the old Jordan High School because all my memories are from there and that my brother Tyler graduated from the old high school. They didn't tear down my old high school until the summer of 1997 so I totally could of graduated from the old school. The new school is cool but I was only there for 2 months and then I graduated. We had our graduation in the gym and it was really nice. Now, Jordan has there graduation at the South Town Expo Center or at the UofU. We are having our 15 year high school reunion at Rock Creek Pizza Co in Sandy. I'm excited about that because it's really close to my house so I don't have to drive that far. What sucks about having it there is because I don't eat Pizza anymore because I'm lactose intolerant. I heard that they have a salad bar so I'll be having that for dinner tomorrow night. We were going to have our reunion at a park in South Jordan. They were going to have Chick-fil-A cator it. But a lot of people didn't send in their money on time. I thought that we still could of have our reunion at the park and everyone could bring their own food. We could probably do that at our next reunion. Tomorrow during the day I'm going to go get my haircut, styled and my make-up done before I go to the reunion. I got a manicure done tonight. I'll be taking pictures of the reunion tomorrow night and then I'll post them on here when I'm done working on them. Here are some pictures of me when I was in high school. There are pictures from my sophomore, junior and senior year in school. Take care everyone and have a great weekend!!!

You're My Friend

I don't care how much money you make, where you live, what you drive, whether you're gay or straight, fat or thin, tall or short, beautiful or average, rich or poor, liberal or conservative or what faith you are. If you're my friend, you're my friend. I accept you for who you are, and that's ALL that counts. If you feel the same.. steal this status from me, your Friend, like I just did from another friend!

2011-05-25T14:20:00.001-06:00

On May 14th was a very busy and fun day for me. From 3-6pm I shot a Grand Opening of a pet store in Draper. The photo shoot went really well but I wished more people showed up. My Dad came with me to the shoot to be my editor. He is also a photographer and has come with me on other photo shoots that I have done in the past. With my photography business you get two photographers for the price of one. After the Grand Opening my Dad and I went to In N Out Burgers and The Sweet Tooth Fairy. When I got home my Mom, my nieces, my brother and I went out to dinner at Olive Garden for my niece Rylee's birthday. After dinner we came home and watched Rylee open some presents. After that my family and I played the game Boxers or Briefs and my Mom won the game. It was really fun playing the game and celebrating my niece Rylee's 12th birthday.
