Life is good!

Hello all my friends.. it has been a long time since I posted. Alot hasn't happened.. My life is pretty boring. I am still working at Massage Envy I work Tuesday - Friday from 9:30am to 3:30pm and every other Saturday. I still love my job! I love what I do!

Some of my highlights over the past 5 months have been

1. The SSR Car Show in Laughlin NV

~ I saw lots of very cool SSR's but of course the best was mom and dads

2. NASCAR in Vegas. Lots of fun stuff this year

~I was able to be really really close to my 2 favorite drivers Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch

~I love Kenny Wallace! He was a hoot!

~ I was pretty happy.. Kyle Busch won the race! he kissed the start/finish line when he won!




#3 I have been to 3 concerts in the past 2 months.. I was able to see

~ The Bellamy Brothers My friend JJ called me the day before the concert and asked if I wanted to go.. He had some extra tickets. I went with my good friend Chelsey Eaton. We had alot of fun.

~ The Nashville Tribute Band and Due West/ This was the 2nd time I have seen Due West I love them. I can't wait till I get to hear their stuff on my XM radio!

~ Jullianne Hough / for Jodies birthday in January I gave her tickets to the concert. It was so fun to see her. I love that she sang with no shoes on... well she took off her high heels part way through! This was an amazing concert. Her opening acts were The Travis Marshal band and Eric Dodge. Not to bad!

I can't promise I will be better at this but I will try!

I'm feeling it now!

Well last night Jodie and I went up to her sisters house in Parawon last night to help her get ready for some job interviews today. We were on our way home and it was about 10:30pm and just about to the Leeds exit when we went under an overpass and all the sudden there was something right in front of the car. Jodie swerved to miss it and over corrected and we started fishtailing and all of the sudden the car just flipped. I am thinking we went over twice but I can't be certain about that. We might even have gone end over end once too. There were the nicest people behind us that stopped and waited for the cops and medics to arrive and then they waited some more for us to fill out paper work and they were kind enough to bring us back home.

As far as injuries I have a blood blister on my right big toe and my toe is really tender. My right thumb kind of hurts to. I have some bruises still trying to form the seat belt that I am sure will be very sexy! Jodie is also doing good. Her knees are a little sore and has some bruises from the seat belt.

All - in -all we are very blessed to have walked away. It could have been 1000 times worse. We are very grateful for the people that stopped to help.

I will guaranty you will never catch me without a seat belt EVER!

I've been photo tagged!

This is a picture of me at the Las Vegas race 2 years ago. I had already had one taken with me just standing by the cardboard cutout but my mom said I should have kissed him so I had them take a 2nd picture and it was funny cuz all the people around the display were all saying how cute it was and after I did it there were about 4 other poeple that did the same think.. Look what I started!!

So for those that I tag Lynnette, mom, Amanda (Both of you),

. . .Here's the rules! Go to your picture files, open the 4th file and post the 4th picture. Also, write your memory of it.

My how time flies when your having fun!

I have had a pretty eventful couple of months.

Well on September 13th I went to the Honkytonk Tailgate Party Concert at the Dixie Sunbowl. I went with LaRae. There were 4 artists that performed, Ray Scott, Trent Wilman, Buddy Jewel, and Mark Wills. I had alot of fun. After the concert I was able to meet all of them and get my shirt signed by all of them.

This is Trent. I was most excited to see him. He put on an amazing show

This is Mark and Buddy Jewel fighting over who got to sign the guitar first

This is Buddy and Ray once again fighting over the guitars

Then in at the end of September mom and a few of her crazy friends came to town and we went to tuacahn. We had alot of fun. Also my friend Amanda Alder from Preston went with us to. I sure she will think twice before she goes anywhere with me again.

The first night they were here we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner

This is me the nurse taking the crazies for a night out on the town (I took really good care of them too)

Mom and I doing wht we do best LAUGH!!!

All of us at Famous Daves

Then just this past weekend on the 18th mom and I were suppose to go to the Blake Shelton Miranda Lambert concert but plans feel through so I got a hold of a friend and her and I went to the concert in Primm. The concert started at 9 our time so we left at around 5ish we drove downtown Vegas and ate at my favorite restaurant Toby Keith's I Love This Bar And Grill! Where I once again got my fried mac and cheese and my fried Twinkies! Yumm yumm.. So then we drove on to Primm and we had a blast. I was very good. I ended up getting home at 2am and yes I was a good girl and was at church at 9am. I may not have been awake but I was there with bells on my toes!

This is everyone jammin at the end of the night

Miranda was amazing! I have always loved her and when I heard she was coming I had to jump at the chance

The oh so cute Blake. He was great. Gotta love him.

Blake and Miranda have got to be the cutest couple ever!

2 month update!! SORRY!

Well... well.. where do I start.

I finally started second job. It only look me a month and a half to find one. The job market sucks!! But I guess you always go back to what you are comfortable with. I am back in a grocery store! I work at Albertsons in the Service Deli and Butcher Block. I would like to be just in the Butcher Block or the Pharmacy but I guess I will take what I can get.

In August I had the chance to go see Jennie and her family in Magna for 5 days. I had alot of fun. I was able to see my friend Brandon while I was in town. I haven't seen him in over 2 years. So it was very nice to be able to visit with him. While I was there I was able to go to the Copper Mine. It was alot of fun.

Also a couple of weeks ago I got off work at Massage Envy and went out to go home and my car wouldn't go into drive! It was stuck. After making 3 phone calls to my local dealer and 1 to the dealer in Arizona.. (Arizona was more help) I was able to get everything set up for a tow truck and stuff. This is my baby on the tow truck. I was very sad to have to have her towed.

The day after I got my car back I was headed to the gym and I tried to turn the heated seats on for my back and yeah guess what.. they forgot to plug them back in when they were fixing it the day before. So yes my baby had to go back again to get fixed a 2nd time. I wasn't happy.

And lastnight I had a friend come over and instal a ceiling fan in my bedroom. In a couple of weeks I he will be back to put one in Jodie's room.

AFTER

Well thats it for now. I will be better..

4th of July Weekend!

Well, my weekend started off kind of crappy.. on Thursday I was forced to quit at the hotel. Yep that's right I don't have a job right now.. Well I have a job massaging 3 days a week 3 hours a day. That is real promising. So I decide I would start my holiday sooner. I was planning on going to Delta with Jodie and go to a demolition derby. But since I had an extra day I figured I would just go to Preston a couple days early.

I didn't quit make it to Preston that night. I decide to stop in Richmond Utah and see Amber and Ray. I ended up staying at their house. I got up Friday morning and met mom and dad on the highway and we drove to North Ogden where Amy's kids were in a bike parade. They were the cutest ones there.


Sydney


Hannah


Hayden


After the parade we went home and did some yard work and had a cookout.

On Saturday we went to Logan to the Cruise In. It is an annual car show that happens 4th of July weekend. They had some really cool entries this year. Well I have never been but I though there were some really cool stuff.

I was excited to get my picture taken by Big Foot the monster truck.


They also had Jimmy Johnson's car there. And a Hendricks car hauler







I liked this one cuz it was purple.


Gotta love prowlers.


This is a way cool truck. I love the paint job.


Then Saturday night after some more yard work Amy brought her family to Preston and we had dutch oven potatoes and ribs. It was way yummy.




Sunday was just a good ol day. After church I took a nap and that was the excitement of the day.

Monday was a stressful day. It was the day I was suppose to head home. The main reason of me going to Preston was to register my car. But I ended up spending to much time at the DMV trying to get everything straightened out. I guess Arizona is a paperless state so they never sent the title for my car to them. So after spending an hour on the phone with Chrysler with a guy who didn't speak English. I still didn't get my car registered. All though I did talk them into doing my VIN check while I was there. I will have to have my mom go in, in 3 weeks and get the papers. Its a big pain in the butt.

So after that I decided I would just stay in town 1 more night. So mom and I decided we would go to Logan to dinner and a movie. It was way fun. We also when with moms best friend Sue. She is a hoot. I love her. We went to the Pizza house for ham and cheese salads and then we went to Wall-e. It was kind of weird.

All in all I had a fun time. I love my family and I love spending time with them.
