More pictures.....

Here are some more pictures of my Utah trip. My two friends I am with are Sofia and Adam. Spencer is having fun trying out a toy at Toys 'R' US and then the beautiful mountains of Utah. I had such a great time on my visit to Utah and I am so excited to move back in the summer. Life is good. Ciao for now.

My Utah Trip!

On January 22, 2009 I flew out to Utah for my birthday. Becky and Spencer picked me up from the airport. I stay with Becky, Daniel, and Spencer which was a lot of fun for me. I thought that Spencer would be shy with me but he wasn't. He would bring me toys and other items for me to hand back to him and then sometimes he would go away and then come and continue his little game. On my birthday I went to a book sale at the Provo Public Library and I bought some LDS books like the third book in the series: Hearts of the Children by: Dean Hughes for only one dollar! Neil came over for my birthday dinner which was: homemade pizza and root beer floats. After dinner Becky and I went to the BYU Mens Basketball game. I haven't been to any basketball game but I had fun cheering on BYU. Go Cougars! After the game Becky asked if I wanted to go get so hot cocoa and I of course said yes and so we went to Mimi's Cafe and as I walk in one of my friends Melissa Meyer was standing right there and I was so excited I backed out the door. Becky had planned this earlier she had invited some of my other friends but they couldn't make it but it was so great to see her after 2 years! We didn't want to stay and eat so we went over to Barnes and Noble which was close by. Melissa and I had hot cocoa and Becky had a Italian soda. It was a great birthday! On Tuesday I meet two of my other friends (Adam and Joffery) at the mall and we just hang out and talked. Then on Wednesday I meet friends (Adam and Joffery) at the movies and we went to see The City of Ember (which was a good movie). Then later we went to play pool at Fat Cats with another friend, Sofia and then Melissa meet us later. I had never play pool before but my friends showed me how and it was fun. I loved being in Utah it was such a nice break and so inspiring. I was and still are really happy I was able to my friends and family while was in Utah. More pictures to come. Ciao for now.

The Partridge Family

A while ago I checked out from the library the first and second season of the Partridge Family and I really enjoyed them so I checked them out again just recently and so I wanted to share with all of you another great find. This was a show that was on TV on during the late 60's and on into the 70's. There are 5 kids with their widow mother and they are a family band. It maybe a little corny in some parts but I still like having another wholesome show to watch. So I hope you will give the Partridge Family a try. Happy watching!

Inkheart

While I was out in Utah (more about that later) I went to see the movie Inkheart with Neil. It is based on the book by Cornelia Funke which is a great book! I was very pleased with the movie. I was so happy to see this book be made into a movie. It is a magical adventure. So I recommend both the movie and book. Happy reading and watching!

My Wish This Christmas....

My Wish This Christmas is a little different then when I was a young girl which was a dog but so far it never has happened. So this year I am not wishing for a dog but that my family and friends will be safe and healthy. That may sound a little corny but that's how I feel. I know one day I will be able to have a dog again but just not now. My dream dog is a Great Dane (This is what a Great Dane is Kevin). They are an awesome breed of dog. They maybe big but I love them anyways. Since working at the Vet Hospital I have been able to see some Great Danes and seeing them up close makes me so much more sure that is a dog for me someday. I am so glad to be working at a Vet Hospital and mostly the one I am working at. All of my co-workers are so much fun to work with and are really awesome. This is where I need to be and I am so grateful to be there. I hope all who reads my blog will have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Some of My Favorite Things.....

I was thinking about the song from The Sound of Music, My Favorite Things and I thought it would be fun to write down some of my favorite things. Starting with 10 to 1 mean my all time favorite thing. So here it goes.







10. Clothes. But the thing is I have a hard time finding clothes I like but when I find a item of clothing that I totally like that is so great! My favorite outfit is jeans, western shirt, and fatbabys (cowgirl boots, they are awesome!)









9. Movies. I really like watching movies. A few of my favorite movies are: High School Musical 1 and 2 ( I haven't seen the 3rd one yet) The Man from Snowy River and Return to Snowy River, All three Pirate movies, and old disney movies like That Darn Cat and The Love Bug. Grab a bowl of popcorn, some Dots, and sit down to a good movie and that is a real good time.








8.Swimming. I really enjoy it! The water feels so good on a hot day and when I glide through the water I feel like a dolphin. It is so much fun!







7.Dancing. I enjoy letting the music guiding me and I sometimes can't help it to starting dancing a little when I hear a song I like. Dancing is awesome!







6.Music. I really like music. My favorite is country . Music can say things that words can't and it can help me feel better.





5.Food. I enjoy food a lot! Eating, making it and sharing it with others. In some ways when I cook it is very relaxing. I can remember the food that was part of the special times of my life. Food is great!



4.Traveling. I enjoy going on trips. So far I have been to: Venice, Florence, and Pisa Italy and Salzburg, Austria, a number of states, and Canada. I really enjoy traveling . My next place I would like to go is Australia. I always wanted to go there since I was a young girl. I hope I'll get to see more of the world someday.

3.Horses and horseback riding. I love everything about horses! The way they smell so rich and clean, saddles and bridles, all the different breeds, the way I feel when I am riding high on a horse and nothing can touch me. When I am riding a horse my mind is clear and nothing else matters. Horses and riding them is my little piece of heaven.

2. Books. I so much love books! Ever since I can remember I loved reading books. My whole family does too and I am glad that my parents started us kids at a young age of taking us to the library and introducing us to the wonderful world of books. I think one of the best way to have an adventure is to read a book. Books are the best!

1.Animals are my number 1 favorite thing. They bring so much joy to my life. As long as I can remember I have always loved animals.As a child I grow up with dogs and cats, in New Mexico we had a little farm and we had two pigs, a goat, and chickens. While we were living in Iowa City we bottle fed some lambs and I really enjoyed that and I hope I get another chance to do it again. Animals are so part of who I am and I am so happy when I am with them. We can all learn a lot from animals, they love you unconditionally and they understand when you need a little extra love. Heavenly Father must surely love us all to have created animals. They are a blessing in my life and I look forward when I will be able to have a dog, a cat, etc.

I Love My Sisters!

I am so happy to have as many sisters that I do and that I can always can talk to one of them when I need to. They are a bulid in best friend and since a child I had a great time with them all. Now that I am older they are still very special to them and even though I don't tell them very often that they mean a lot to me but I will now take a chance to tell all (and yes that includes Stephanie, Evangelina, and Elizabeth.) of my sisters that I love you all! I have learn so much from all of you and I want to tell you thank you all for being there for me and for being undertanding even when you don't know whats the problem.
