Macbook = good

Well you all know that I recently bought a gateway PC and I was so happy with it... until the computer wouldn't sleep and had problems getting on the Internet. I really didn't think anything about it until one day Cameron had to run his Macbook into the apple store to get looked at. Cameron has had his macbook for almost three years and has had it be such an awesome computer for him but, there was a problem with the back light that he'd had to get fixed a couple of times. We walked right in there and they handed him a brand new computer... I sat for a couple of weeks on it and kept thinking about what I would do if my computer were to break, I'd have to call the gateway costumer service, figure all of that information out, and ship it in and not be guaranteed help. That sounded like a lot of stress and no so much help. I ended up returning the computer to costco and going and picking up a macbook. I have a great warranty and if anything goes wrong I just make an appointment and get one on one help at the genius bar. I'm very excited to have such an awesome computer that's really fun to use. I like it better already. Freals.


Oh just some computer fun...

My new footie pajamas

Everyone... I bought footie pajamas and yes, I wear them...every night.




To move or not to move?? That is a definite question.


I have a couple of girlfriends that are looking into moving out together. My one friend Jaclyn already lives down in Provo and is going to BYU. She can't stand her roommates and is begging my other friend Jacqueline to move out with her and to bring me along. At first the whole idea sounded so exciting and new but now, I'm having second thoughts. Although it would be an awesome learning experience to go to school, meet new people, and learn to fend for myself, I'm not too excited to leave my cute little house. I think the one thing that freaks me out is that i'd be one hour and 3 minutes (according to mapquest) away from my comfort zone, I couldn't just hurry and run home. Who knows... Maybe it wouldn't be too bad. I'll figure something out.

A day to remember.

I was recently going through my drawers in my night stand and came across a journal entry/ piece of paper that I'd written two years ago to kind of vent about things.. I feel like it's an appropriate time to share... Pardon my grammer...


There's something important I feel like sharing that, as a whole I've never shared. As life seems to pass us by so quickly some people forget to sit down and reflect on things in their lives, feelings they've had, and things they've never shared. I'd like to talk about my cousin Matt. I know people will think that because we never really lived by each other that we didn't have a very good relationship.. but we surely did. Matt used to come to my house and do all of his laundry and get haircuts from my mom, as well as live with my awesome grandparents. We shared a lot of laughs. One night while i was laying in bed reading my scriptures, (yes, i totally was) I had a knock on my bedroom door.. Matt peaked his head in and asked what I was up to. He sat on my bed looking at all the pictures that I had scattered around my room. He looked at a picture that I had of molly and myself and chuckled to himself, I explained to him that it was a while back when we'd gone to one of his football games. We talked for a while and then he stood up, lifted a leg, and gave a big fart running out of the door to leave me with the stench... classic Matt. One memory I'll definitely never forget was the night Kylee, Matt, and I were at grandma Millers house and we just messing around. Kylee and I talked Matt into going to Emu's grave at the salt lake city cemetery. We had fully convinced Matt that there was a man that sat on his sons grave with a while cloak over himself. Matt assured us that he was a tuff guy and didn't believe that this was a true story and that he'd beat this guy up. We headed into downtown listening to weirdo rap music in the big red truck . To get to the grave you can either get out and walk or just drive by. Once we got there Matt locked the doors and held onto the steering wheel so tight. haha. When he saw Emu he screamed like a little girl and drove off so fast... quickly turning onto a one way street .... it was definitely a scary moment. funny. Another time when Matt was at my house he found my dads football dummy's. Landon and him had been playing around with them when i told him to hold it while i ran into it and tried to take it out. One, Two, Three!! I ran so fast and hard towards the dummy and i swear,with all of his power and might, he pushed that bag thirty times harder back into me. I flew backwards hitting the ground like i had fallen fifteen feet. My ears were ringing and all i could hear were the laughs of Landon and Matt. As time goes by i still think about what an example Matt was to me. I could sit here and tell you all of my stories of matt but it would be such a long story time. Even when the tears are rolling down my face when i take a moment to think back to when Matt lived in Utah, the spirit touches my heart. I feel so strongly that he's so happy where he is right now. I get to see Matt's picture everyday when I drive my car... his pictures sits on my car's dashboard. He reminds me of the blessings in my life and the importance of this life. I miss Matt. A lot. I miss the nickname..."strawberry." Matt was such a good friend/example... I'll never forget him.


I had written that just a little bit after Matt had past away. When I found the papers I felt like maybe I should share it with all of you guys. I truly loved and adored my cousin Matt... I am thankful for my understanding of this life... it was a blessing to have during such a hard time.

It has been so much fun watching Landon play this year. Last weekend we went to the Bountiful vs Viewmont game. As we walked into the stands we passed the student section, it made me so sad not to be walking up into the stands with all of the students. Life after high school really is a shock. Why I was so eager to get out is beyond me. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. I work like crazy trying to save up as much money as I can so I can go to school and that is super tiring. I'm so lucky to have such an awesome aunt Michelle to help me figure everything out. She helped me get everything organized and helped me figure out all of the finances and other information. I couldn't have gotten the ball rolling with out her or Cameron. I'm planning on doing all of my generals at SLCC and then hopefully transferring to a university to do some nursing (labor and delivery). It has always been such a dream of mine to be a nurse and, as I used to say when I was little, take care of all the little babies. Now, I know that I've changed my mind about what I want to do like 2304893 times, but i feel like this is where I'm supposed to be. I know that its going to be hard but I'm willing to give it all I've got, I mean, I am paying for this... I'll make it worth it. I'm a little discouraged because in the back of my mind I keep thinking... you're definitely not smart enough to do something like that but, I want to prove myself wrong and show my family/people that I can do something if i stick my mind to it.
Maybe I find something else I want to do... who knows? But for now, I'm hoping to be come an RN.

A well needed update.

There are so many new things I need to update on!

1- American Idol auditions.

2- Vacationing.

3- ATL Jonas brothers.










- - American idol was a really fun experience and i'm glad that I went and tried out. I obviously didn't make it because if I did i'm sure you'd all be aware. It was crazy though, there were SO many people there. How it worked was, you went one day to get your wristbands and then the next day you would go back for the actual audition. Randy, Paula, and Simon weren't even there so it was really lame. The producers actually did the auditioning and decided whether or not you would come back and sing for the actual judges. There were about 10 tables of judges and you'd go up in groups of four to sing. One person from your group would just take a step forward and sing about 30 seconds of a song and then it would be the next persons turn. I felt like a sang very well and felt comfortable about it. In the end the producers told us that we weren't what they were looking for. In the end i was ready to be home because it had been a long day. It was a fun experience.

-- A while ago I was lucky enough to go up to Cameron's family ranch. It was SO much fun. Its nice to get away from all of the stress. Its up in Grays lake, Idaho and is the cutest little place. We ate lots of yummy food and played around on all of the toys. It was a fun trip.

-- Oh boy, i'm so glad that I got to go to Atlanta and see my old buddy Jaclyn. She's such a sweetie and is always so much fun to be around. She finished out her last to years in high school up there when he family had to move. My other friend Jacqueline moss is way obsessed with the Jonas brothers and so we flew down for the concert and stayed at Jaclyns house. Yeah, they're names are both Jaclyn/jacqueline. We stayed in their beautiful house in Fayetteville Georgia and had a girls weekend. Jaclyns dad hooked us up with free tickets so I only had to pay for My buddy pass. It was SO much fun. The south is absolutely beautiful ... I'd totally move there. Now i'm not that in love with the Jonas brothers and tons of screaming girls but they did put on a fun show.
