so living at home with my parents for a few weeks has been fun... i have all my clothes shoved in bags, shoes are all over the bedroom floor, the bed is rarely if ever made, parents clomping down the hall in the early morning, one bathroom with a shower that scares me, nephews and nieces always around making lots of noise... ahhhh being home is lovely!:) but truly the greatest things that i have enjoyed are seeing my parents in everyday actions... the first and the thing that humbles me is a site that is only late at night when everything is quiet. its seeing my mom kneeling beside her bed, her last act of service that her tired body performs on a daily basis. it brings tears to my eyes to see her head bent and her quietly kneeling talking to her father. i know that i am in those prayers and that she is always asking for my Heavenly Father to watch over my steps and to guide my life. seeing this has been one of the greatest things that i have ever seen in the 32 years of my life.
the second thing that i love to see is the way that my parents interact with one another. i know that they love each other. they have shown this throught there devotion to one another through the years. i know that my dad needs my mom strength and love of life. i also know that my mom needs my dads lightheartedness and sense that all will amazing in a couple of days! my parents have taught me to serve. its amazing to be able to go "home" and to see things that i have taken for granted.
so this christmas my dad wanted to come into the cell phone world... so i went out and got him a cell phone for christmas... he wanted to know his phone number... my mom and i were in the other room talking when she heard her cell ring... she looked at me and asked if that was my phone, i told her no that is her phone... she goes running to answer it before she misses it. on her way to answer it she passes my dad who is sitting on the couch. so the next thing i hear is my mom answering her phone: "hello!"
then i hear my dad say: " hi how are you doing"
then i hear my mom say " YOU DORK!"
yeah my dad wanted to know his number so he called my moms cell... it was awesome they were in the same room and talking on their own cell phones to each other:) i sat there and laughed and laughed with my dad... my mom was standing there with her phone in her hand and said... "i just dont understand why you didnt tell me that it was you calling..." truly made me laugh!

im an angler...maybe
after friday night's trip getting cancelled we made the best of it and he drove me around oxnard/ventura area... it was a very pretty area and the coast is my favorite! we went to a lake and i couldn't get over how beautiful the area was. it actually had trees that were in full autumn color and it was tucked into the mountains around it. I actually felt like it was a fall day!!!
Taking the first (of many i am sure) self portrait on my new camera... one of the reasons nothing has been posted
back at the boat while i tried to stay out of manny's way as he hustled to get the boat ready for the charter that night. i quickly learned that my 'help' really isnt that... so i just stood by watching as he ran around doing things. and i have to say it was amazing to watch him work... yep it really was NICE!
this is before the night of 'sleep' it was before the rolling really hit me and made me say some serious prayers for a stomach that wouldnt empty itself and embarress the rest of the body that encased the all important stomach. i went down below and instantly felt queeeeeezy! so i layed flat on my back... really a bad idea, more praying was being uttered... so i flipped over onto my stomach and literally felt every single muscle in my stomach tighten and release... the nauseousness went away and i was able to "sleep". manny came in to check on me and i asked him to hold me...
so this is how the fishing went...manny got the fish on the hook and then he would hand me the pole and i would bring it in. i am quite the fisherman!!!

manny came in to check on me and see if i was ok in the morning... but i slept in a little longer! i thought i would be a big girl and get up and surprise manny with my sunshiney face... i got up and as soon as i put my feet on the ground my stomach started in... so i thought i will pick up my new boots and my sweatshirt and put them on up top where the air would be fresh. i put on my head band, and out the door i went. only to be confronted with a guy sitting on the steps to his berthing area, our eyes connected and i knew i would lose it. this guys eyes were watering and tears were running down his cheeks, his stomach was dry-heaving and i knew that the sympathetic puker that i am was about to lose it! so back in i went and flat on my stomach i went uttering more prayers!!! i fell asleep and woke up when manny came in (thinking i was being lazy) to check on me again. i explained to him and then i decided i felt better but i knew that if i bent over it would be all over. so manny put on my boots and off to fishing i went! it really was calm for the rest of the day and i didnt have another thought about being nauseous!!!
so this is how the fishing went...manny got the fish on the hook and then he would hand me the pole and i would bring it in. i am quite the fisherman!!!

meet manny!
So world that is viewing my blog meet Manny... yep i am marrying this man next year. some of you maybe surprised and wonder why you havent heard about him before... let me explain. after talking to my mom she said that she is a little shocked because i don't seem like i am over the moon excited about marrying him... i actually am! but i have learned that over the years i have embarressed myself by talking about boys that just really in the end meant nothing, but just sucked the life out of me slowly over the course of our friendship. so when manny came bounding into my life i had my arms out to block any advance he tried to make on my heart... not only did he have get around that but also the walls that i have erected over the years... he tried valiantly to get around that then he had to conquer my stellar personality and cutting words... so basically i was a horrific beast to him... i tried so hard to push him away. but he persisted for whatever reason, cuz if i was treated the way i treated him (oh wait i have!) i dont think i would have persisted like he did... anyways, over time and for many reasons my heart softened and i realized that the things that held me back from loving and accepting him were crap in comparison to the amazing heart that he has!!! so here are some of the things that i love about him... i love that he is forgiving, understanding, strong, loving, willing to jump through hoops for me, persistant, loves his family, genuinely a giving person that gives his whole heart to the people he loves, i love that he giggles with me, i love that he is the hardest worker i have ever met. i love that he makes my life a little easier that i have a partner in my daily life, i love that i miss him when he is gone (which is often) but i am HAPPY when i see his face come around the corner! i love that i believe in him and all that he has to offer me and the world around him. i love that i feel safe and cherished by him... i love that he knows that i am a butt and he still loves me. i love that he is nice even when he is in pain. i love that he is sooooo tired after work but he still wants to see me... and goes out of his way to do just that! i love that when i was soooo tired after my flight home from greece i could fall asleep on his shoulder at dinner when i couldn't be home in bed!
i love him. so now that you know just some of the things that i love about him i will tell you this... that after i made the decision that i loved him and didn't want him to go anywhere i didnt introduce him to anyone because i wanted to cherish him and keep him close to my heart. i wanted to protect what was now sacred to me, so a didnt tell anyone how i felt about this amazing man that blesses my life... so if this hurt you or you are concerned about me... this is my reasoning!!! so world my wedding will be sometime next october just to give you the heads up!

thanks nesha!!! this really did make me laugh and cry... because my whole life i felt stifled and that i wasnt good in school because math never made sense. i wished more than anything for it to but it always eluded me. not until after "school" did i realize that i think outside boxes that "normal" people place me in and if i cant figure something out, put it in my hands and more often than not i can figure it out. it wasnt until after school that i found out that i am intelligent and that i really can hold my own... i was and still am tired of the labels that grades put on me and the people around me. thanks for giving me validation!

MEMORIES WITH NICOMI THAT MAKE ME SMILE:
#1. "Yo, PUMP up the Jam!" Nicomi's performance in the annual dance show at Sierra Nevada Dance Center. She wore a checkered spandex costume and had to tape her boobs down for the performance. I kept a VHS copy of the performance and sometimes pull it out for a group of her friends, much to her horror. heheheheh
#2 "Don't backtalk me, missy! You've been gone for 7 hours!" Our sweet but senile paternal grandmother accusing Nicomi of delaying our trip from Utah to Nevada. Nicomi had run to see some friends before our departure and was gone MAYBE an hour and a half.
#3 "Does this ever hit the windshield?" Nicomi riding in my car and asking about a spare tap I hung from the rearview window. I said it hadn't and RIGHT THEN hit a giant bump, making the tap CLANG against the window hard.
#4 "BACK TO BACK WITH THE RIO GRANDE, A CHRISTIAN WOMAN IN THE DEVIL'S LAND!" Singing with Nicomi and pissing Kimmy off.
#5 "I'm a VAMPIRE!" The best episode of COPS ever.
#6 The most expensive Polaroid in France!
Sasha & Jay
out of 104 smiley memoirs you couldn't even squeeze me in one? How rude. I am hurt. I can come up with at least a list of ten.
1. Everytime I would take a pic of Nicomi she would shoot me the finger, once even with the ENSIGN in her other hand. Don't lie I have the pic. :)
2. You sandwiching me between the wall and psycho roomie's mattress.
3. The night you told me old roommates off. (that is a personal favorite)
4. The night we paid the Dominoes man our 7 or 8 dollars of pennies for our 1 large 1 topping pizza. I also have the pic as evidence.
5. The rubber band fights that would take place between either you and shawn or you and cameron. All the rest of us were using furniture and armor to protect ourselves from your brutal rubber game. :) ha,ha!!!
6. The late night runs to the AM/PM mini mart or something like that for BIG GULPS for like .79 and a penny for swedish fish. MMMMMMmmmmmmgooooooddddddd.
7. Jay and I, apartment, bed, you need I say more for the floods of memories that keep coming.

9. Dancing. Whether at a school dance or just in our apartment.

MEMORIES WITH NICOMI THAT MAKE ME SMILE:
#1. "Yo, PUMP up the Jam!" Nicomi's performance in the annual dance show at Sierra Nevada Dance Center. She wore a checkered spandex costume and had to tape her boobs down for the performance. I kept a VHS copy of the performance and sometimes pull it out for a group of her friends, much to her horror. heheheheh
#2 "Don't backtalk me, missy! You've been gone for 7 hours!" Our sweet but senile paternal grandmother accusing Nicomi of delaying our trip from Utah to Nevada. Nicomi had run to see some friends before our departure and was gone MAYBE an hour and a half.
#3 "Does this ever hit the windshield?" Nicomi riding in my car and asking about a spare tap I hung from the rearview window. I said it hadn't and RIGHT THEN hit a giant bump, making the tap CLANG against the window hard.
#4 "BACK TO BACK WITH THE RIO GRANDE, A CHRISTIAN WOMAN IN THE DEVIL'S LAND!" Singing with Nicomi and pissing Kimmy off.
#5 "I'm a VAMPIRE!" The best episode of COPS ever.
#6 The most expensive Polaroid in France!
Sasha & Jay
out of 104 smiley memoirs you couldn't even squeeze me in one? How rude. I am hurt. I can come up with at least a list of ten.
1. Everytime I would take a pic of Nicomi she would shoot me the finger, once even with the ENSIGN in her other hand. Don't lie I have the pic. :)
2. You sandwiching me between the wall and psycho roomie's mattress.
3. The night you told me old roommates off. (that is a personal favorite)
4. The night we paid the Dominoes man our 7 or 8 dollars of pennies for our 1 large 1 topping pizza. I also have the pic as evidence.
5. The rubber band fights that would take place between either you and shawn or you and cameron. All the rest of us were using furniture and armor to protect ourselves from your brutal rubber game. :) ha,ha!!!
6. The late night runs to the AM/PM mini mart or something like that for BIG GULPS for like .79 and a penny for swedish fish. MMMMMMmmmmmmgooooooddddddd.
7. Jay and I, apartment, bed, you need I say more for the floods of memories that keep coming.
8. All of our mischievious encounters. There were to many to mention.
9. Dancing. Whether at a school dance or just in our apartment.
10. The baseball team. Need I say more there too?

those darn barking spiders
Today i had an unfortunate moment at work. i have had to go to the bathroom but was unable to all day for various reasons... so i was getting done with my last client at about 7:45p.m. when in the middle of the blow dry i thought to myself 'uh oh i better go sooooon.' we wrap up and i am getting her out the door... i love her, but some people have a hard time leaving. so my body is REALLY ready to excuse myself ( at this point i am sitting down) i think she is about to go so i stand up, my body is angry and REALLY wants relief. i am standing at the end of the front desk ready to run back to the bathroom, but she and i are stilllllll talking. i am starting to contort my body trying my darnedest to hold back the splendor of my being and i am getting this contorted constipated looks in my face. i am trying not to look her in the eyes at this point because i am MORTIFIED but on one glance i can see her look of humor. i held it with all i had twisting and my face didn't help... a couple of small puffs of air(i am not exaggerating, they were small) never the less noticeable for what they are! my face is red with embarrassment. Finally, after what feels like a million years she takes off and i run to the best moments of my recent life!
i know this is too much information, but it made me laugh. so sorry if i just burned your eyes with my blog!

So after packing up what felt like everything possible besides the kitchen sink we got on the road for one long trip to visit my dad's side of the family! on the way out of town we got a call from james that said the motorhome was having problems so we pulled off the road in prim and waited for them to catch up! we followed them to mesquite having to pull over a couple of times because the gas pump was going out. we finally eeeeked into mesquite and crashed for the night. my mom and i took a little benedryl which knocked us out for the night... i don't think either of us could open our eyes the next day, my dad was laughing and calling my mom a cheap drunk! After getting to see kimmies and michaels cute new place we headed off! Flaming Gorge is beautiful!!! what made it even better was the lack of mosquito's!!! it was surrounded with trees and the beauty of nature!
Let's just say that family reunion is just tons of eating... Rachael had marshmallow all over her face and she wouldn't let me get the picture until she was pretty sure it wasn't toooo bad! I think everyone grazed through the weekend...
Tinfoil dinners the first night and joel giving his typical face that will make his posterity very confused! Tinfoil dinners are my absolute favorite camp food. its an essential! 
Joel getting everyone ready for the snipe hunt... these are the cousins that got into the hunt!
look at porter! nesha pointed him out to me and said look he is practicing shooting the snipes! i had to take these pictures!
paul getting his son ready with the rules and the toothpaste
look at the shine on his cheeks, the snipes are really going to be attracted to that adorable face!
TY cant get any freakin' cuter!
when they got back from the hunt nesha went to touch porter's face not realizing he had toothpaste all over it!!! it makes me laugh be cause paul looked at her and said "it was dark, i didn't know how much i was putting on!
My beautiful sister in law! seriously i love hats on her!
Bryce caught the only fish that was worth keeping and eating!!! He is his dads miniature! i can't believe that he is as old as he is!
my favorite sisters niece!!! it was fun to sit and to giggle with them and to cherish the time we have together!
ok so fire was the one of the big fights this vacation! kids will be kids and always want to play with fire... they started one right by the pavillion which just blew smoke right onto all the adults. needless to say we (the adults) were not so excited about it. my mom went up to the kids and said NO MORE! she chastised them and told them that it was too dangerous because they were throwing tumbleweeds onto it with high winds blowing. i watched as my mom walked away these kids watched to make sure she wasnt looking and then threw some more on... i came unglued!!! i jumped up and started yelling. Man alive my dad has always taught us to respect my mom and when someone doesnt all hell brakes loose. yep thats what happened and i YELLED! these kids that don't know me think i am a mean person... oh well, they can think what they want!
so then when we weren't looking they went down and started a fire down below. so all the older uncles told them to put it out. the kids asked with what. Chuck (don and chris's daughters husband) says you have firehouses go put it out. i watch as yellow streams started putted out the flames!
the siblings minus my uncle who left early. oh the fun, fights, laughter, family, food and trouble that we get as a family!
My cousin Jay... I have to say that out of all my cousins he is my favorite male cousin! he is such a hard worker and seems so stern. then he starts up with jokes and he makes faces and loves on little kids!!! he came up with two suckers and said that the kids had been eating them all day so he was just trying them out to see which ones he liked!
the last night the rain was coming down so i looked at josh and said i think we should move the tent under the pavilion. we debated and then moved it up... luckily we did the rain came and we didn't get wet!

I hope!
on a side note... my mom read us water for elephants on the trip she has such a fun voice to listen to!!! we were pretty content to just listen to her read... we laughed and cried through the whole book. the old man reminded me of my grandpa. we had a couple of chapters left when we got home so the three of us came upstairs and she finished it. we all were crying at the end. it was a great book!
Beach days
This was a very COLD day in sunny san diego!!! but it was july and my brother called to see if we wanted to go down and play at the beach. the above is a picture of tyler's great wall of china sand castle! it took him awhile to complete but it entertained him for a little bit!
jake and shannon out surfing!!! he actually stood up the first wave, he's been out before but i was surprised at the balance that kid has!
jackson has hated the water, but cuz his cousins were in he was all about playing with them! I was trying to leave on one of our beach days and he looked at me and said "comi, stay with me... don't leave me!" Yep, he has some morris in him, my siblings always say the same thing!
I truly think that porter can always take the BEST pictures! here he has sand crabs. I have to say that they caught a couple of the biggest ones i have ever seen! i love these days!

i love fireworks!
The Fourth of July is my favorite holiday!!!! Why, because i live in an amazing country, able to live the way that I want, able to worship how and where i choose, i am able to think for myself and know that its safe, i can do and be anything i want here!!! I also know that this freedom that i have is on the backs of men and women who have fought with their lives so that i have all the freedoms that i do!!! Some of my favorite people are ones that i have only been able to read about but who have made an impact on me. I am humbled by what it took for the founding fathers to sign the Declaration of Independence and the life that they lived after. I always get chills when i see the beauty of the red, white and blue flag waving in the wind! I love this Country!
She is getting sooooo big! She made my heart happy when she was in her moms arms and she leaned over so i could get her!!! it was the best feeling in the world to kiss her smack right on the lips and to see her grin after!
so while my fourth of July is "predictable" why would i change perfection? I am surrounded by the people i love and am able to create memories every year!!! My family is always growing, my friends bring me happiness that i can be blessed with them in my life. How can a girl complain?
Shauna and Camden
She is getting sooooo big! She made my heart happy when she was in her moms arms and she leaned over so i could get her!!! it was the best feeling in the world to kiss her smack right on the lips and to see her grin after!
Keegan and Jackson with sparklers. My camera had a hard time figuring out what picture to take!
Porter somehow found the HOTTEST guys to get into the marshmallow fight with. they seriously would wrestle and be all soft with him... He would pull back and throw with all his might and peg them in the head. I wanted to say to these handsome men "you could make my fourth and wrestle with me!"
usually people wait till after the grand finale is over before the marshmallow war starts... Not this year, we were getting hit from the start of the fireworks.
the thing that surprised us this year was the HUGE marshmallows that were being flung at us!!! i also didn't realize that Nesha and Paul hadn't ever done the war before. it was so fun to see them giggle and to see Nesha's eyes as she hurled marshmallows at random strangers. it made me really happy when paul said that they should do this every year... I couldn't agree more! i love creating memories that will last a lifetime with them!
I love that kimmie and Micheal come down and celebrate with me!!! I am however mad at kimmie for the fact that my nephews love swimming with her more than me. Today as i was sitting in the jacuzzi my nephews asked where kim was. i told them that she was home in utah and they both looked at me and said "that Sucks!" i asked why is she more fun than me? they said YES... stupid boys... then they said it was only because she had fun toys!

wilco!
Last night i went and did some things that i have never done. As i was leaving i thought about grabbing my camera and thought what would i want to take pictures of... BIG MISTAKE!
First I took the train up to L.A. union station. It was a GREAT trip. I didn't turn into cruella deville with road rage. I didn't curse, flip the bird, shake my fist at people that cut me off or tail gate me! i peacefully sat and listened to music and read a great book and never got stressed! when we pulled in i didn't know how HUGE this building was going to be, of course i went to the opposite side of the station than where sarah was at! i got checked out twice and i wanted to yell, "yeah i get the eyeballing mister, you just don't do it for me!" but it was nice at the same time! This building is absolutely beautiful on either sides of the long hall. one side is really modern and the other is old school, but it was beautiful and had some cool places to eat. i really think i would take a ride and eat and take some pictures just for the fun of the ride!
after the 6 miles, 1 1/2 hours later we get to the Wiltern. The directions were odd, so we circled the block before realizing that it was right before our eyes! Walking into the building was eye opening! It is BEAUTIFUL. I realized yet again that i really wish that i had brought my camera to be able to snap this cool building. i was walking down the hall when i looked up and saw this man who i know i have seen in multiple movies/shows. i reached over to Sarah and said who is that, i know him... she agreed but couldn't place it. That happened a few times over the course of the night. the music is great and we had fun! Sarah knows their music, i was along for the ride but will definitely be going and getting some of their many albums. i love people watching but i was sooooo freakin' irritated when this couple came in to sit in front of us. this stupid big haired woman sat in front of me, the hair would be one thing but it was the constant movement that drove me NUTS. come to find out she was supposed to be down one seat, i was like yes she isn't in front of me!!! SOOOOOO FREAKIN SELFISH! she was now in front of Sarah... who could now understand what i had been going through. i couldn't handle her going through it so i moved down and we prayed that no-one would come claim that seat. No one did, so we could enjoy the show with out the constant readjusting to compensate for freakin big haired bobble head.
after the show, we go back to get in the car... i knew i was going to have to huff it and puff it up to the 4th floor... i then saw that the elevator car was just coming down. i said oh look sarah its here lets just ride the elevator... yeah, we then had to stop at every level... the people walking beat us to the top. it was kinda embarrassing! oh well i got a giggle out of it! It was a great night that was then topped off with the 5 freeway being shut down to all traffic... UUUUUGH! got home and into bed at 3, i realize now i am not 21 anymore. SAD!

things i learned on this trip!
~that i get so excited for something new i can't sleep
~These girls really know how to canoe, and camp anywhere
~i learned that sometimes in the moment we forget what we are looking at, but when you turn around and see where you have been... it can take your breath away with how beautiful it was!
~i learned that when your all paddling at your own pace it isnt at full power, but when you work as a team with everyone paddling at the same time you get somewhere!
~i learned that you constantly re-apply sunscreen... and that it really hurts when your pants rub up against your sunburn
~i learned that your legs and ankles swell with sitting in the sun and baking~
~i learned that both canoes need to be equipped with bug spray
~i learned that sometimes the mosquitos don't go away with the sun.
~i learned that i am allergic to mosquitos in utah.
~i learned that in the battle against the mosquitos i really lost.
~i learned that if you get up and go to the bathroom at 3 the mosquitos were still waiting to eat me alive... they succeeded and bit my lips, eye, and chin!
~i learned that you can never be excited to wake up your friends knowing that you look like a monster...
~ i learned that laughter really is the best medicine and that i had friends that were there to take care of me and not make me stand there getting eatin' alive by those damn mosquitos.
~ i learned that in life sometimes i really need to escape to the mountains and be surrounded by the beauty that God has given us to enjoy!!!

say a prayer for my bro!
I was thinking today about my brother joel getting ready to take the D.A.T. i can hear in his voice how stressed out he is and i saw it written all over his face when he was bbqing. I know that this is his personal crunch time, he is done with school and just focusing on getting into dental school. He has been studying the past 6+ months to get ready for this test on saturday. So please oh please say a prayer for him, that he might have peace, that he will know the subject matter, that he will be calm and be able to think clearly and that he will know that the Lord will not let him fail, that God will watch out for his son that has served him in any capacity asked of him. So this saturday is his big day, please think of him and send him good thoughts and keep a prayer in your heart for one of the best people i know!

i just have to say...
Today started out with a funny moment... i went to my bank around lunch time so the parking lot was full. i circled and spotted an empty spot on the other row so i quickly whipped around the isle to be able to get it... another car spotted it and i kid you not whipped into the spot at around 30 miles an hour, but in his haste to beat me to the spot he pulled in crooked and too close to the car on his left. so close that there was no way that he could have gotten out! so i was at first cussing him out in my mind, but in all fairness knew that i would have gladly done the same thing to him if i would have beaten him to the spot. But don't you worry i got him back. As soon as he stole my spot i see another car about to pull out a few spots down the row so i pull up and literally blocked him in so that he couldn't back out enough to straighten out and be able to get out of his car. He sat there trapped while i pulled into my spot and walked into the building before he was even able to get into the spot correctly. lesson learned mister stealer of my parking spot... I WIN! lol!
