We had a million questions about our lives...


Here we are, in the best years of our lives, with no way of knowing, when the wheel will stop spinning cause we don't know where we're going...and here we are and it's a go, lets make it last, so cheers to you 'cause this moment's never comin' back!!

Everyday, I'm faced with a million questions!  I have no clue what the answers are...and obviously i've failed on so many tests!!!  Maybe to some people i'm just stupid!  LOL but I like to follow my heart and do what makes me happy.  "I lift my voice to sing out and let the sound of my heart ring out".  Maybe its me not giving a crap, taking crap, or realizing whats more important.  But I haven't quite figured out why some people think they can just treat people the way they do!  

Life is way too short to be miserable and unhappy!  Maybe its me just giving up to easily but whatever it is, i'm not going to just sit there and put up with it because you think I should.  Ummm...sorry but NO!!!  I understand there are going to be hard times in life and stressful situations...duh isn't that what life is all about.  And please name one person that doesn't have trails and tribulations.  But its a matter of picking the battles you want to fight.  I'm fighting the BIGGEST battle i've yet to be faced with, and adding another battle on top of it doesn't sound so appealing!  So NO thank you, i'm not going to gear up!  

I've been going to school for over a month now, and I totally LOVE it!!!  I am taking my pre reqs for the pharmacy technician program.  I turned in my application packet this week for the program.  I am praying and crossing every body part that I can to get into the program.  I was working as a Real Estate Assistant but going to school was too difficult so I found a night job at Target to make it a bit easier.  And really the Real Estate Assistant just wasn't my thing, especially in that kind of atmosphere.  Oh geez, talk about CRAZINESS!!! 

Who ever was dealing the cards out, wasn't very nice to me.  However, things do happen for a reason and I asked for some of those bad cards myself.  So I only have myself to blame but hey look at me now...well I think i'm pretty awesome anyways!  :)

Its CRAZY how fast life changes and how fast minutes turn to hours and hours turn to days!!  Lets all just take a step back for a second and re-evaluate what is most important...and then prioritizing our time and energy fighting for it!!!  If you don't fight for your own life and future then how can you expect others to?

3 to 5 to 4 now back to 5 and hopefully soon to be 6!!

Its been so much fun having the house full of laughter!

For quite sometime, its only been my mom, dad, and me.  The house was always cleaned and we kinda just did our own thing.  We would go out to eat for suppers and go to a movie at least twice a week.  We just got into such a routine with it just being the 3 of us.  Dad would always pay for me, it was GREAT!!!

In September, Kheagan and Chance came and moved in.  It was the biggest blessing for me!!!  I love having them here and coming home to them at night!!  We have had so much fun!  All we do is laugh and mess around with one another.  

My dad left to South Carolina the beginning of October.  It always sucks when the man of the house leaves but now having 2 boys in the house with the priesthood helps relieve some of those worries.  Don't get me wrong...I MISS my dad when he is gone!!  I hate it.  But it's been nice with the 2 boys here now.  

My dad came back home last night.  Just for a brief visit.  Trey should be home any day now.  So I hope this house doubles with laughter and not too much craziness!!! 

GEOCACHING...WHERE??

This last sunday the 3 of us kids were a little bored after church.  So I came up with an idea to go...GEOCACHING!

Don't worry...there is an app for that.  What is geocaching?  Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location.

We went to 5 places and found 2.  

The first one was:


You are looking for a unique, small-medium sized container.

Located close to Davis Hospital and Medical Center. I am familiar with all of the waiting that goes on while loved-ones wage war with illness, disease, and brokeness. Often, a walk will help restore and refresh you, whether you are taking a break from work, or waiting for someone you care about. So, take a deep breath... and find a shelter from your storm.



We were a little freaked out about it and scared to open the box.  It was just hanging in the middle of tree and in the shape of an acorn.  LOL so funny...


We get back in the car and try to find another one.  But didn't succeed.  So we head back home and pass a park.  I said, "I bet there is when in that park".  So we stopped the car and yup sure enough there was one by the park.  It was on a walking trail.  So we park the car and go for a walk.





We got closer to the clue and looked for about 10 minutes...this is what the clue was:

This is an ammo can located on the new walking path that opened earlier this year.

The original contents of the cache are a log book, pens, play doh,silly putty, suction cup ball, and mini frisbee. This is not a difficult cache but we hope you enjoy it any way.

The hint:
twig in a trunk.






AND WE FOUND IT!!!








We had fun.  It kept us busy for about 3 hours!

What a GREAT Family I have!!



I have the greatest family ever!!!  It's impossible to get EVERYBODY together at the same time because its that big!  In fact, I don't even know some of my cousins because there is just way too many of them!  But when we get together, we have so much fun together.  (I think our common sense kinda goes out the window)

Michonne and Chandee came and slept over last weekend.  We went to the Syracuse Family Fun Center and oh boy did we have fun!!!









SPOOKTACULAR!!

With the boys here, we painted pumpkins and went to the pumpkin walk in Syracuse.
