My night consisted of Dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and going to Nightmare Mansion and Castle of Chaos with Sean and Amanda!! It was lots of  fun and a GREAT way to spend Halloween!! I hope you all had a WONDERFUL Halloween filled with tons of fun!!! xoxoxo

Day 24 – Something I Crave A Lot

This is such a hard question. There isn’t really anything I crave a lot. But if I had to say something it would be my Cheddar and Sour Cream chips. They are YUMMY!!! Best chips to eat with a sandwich :)

For part of Vanessa’s birthday we went to Incredible Pizza. In the mini golf area they have a few of these…

So we had some fun!! :) xoxo

Day 19 — nicknames you have and why you have them

I have a TON of nicknames… so I am just going to list the most common. :)

Mickey- Allan gave me this nickname when he was a baby cause he couldn’t say Missy.
Mickey D- Taken from Mickey.
Click- Kak came up with this name… not sure why haha
Sissy- Jayden called me this because he couldn’t say Missy. :)
Chili- My mom gave me this nickname after some TV character… I guess I acted like her. lol

I think those are the main ones. Have a great Monday night! Until tomorrow. xoxo Sweet dreams!!

Day 18 - plans/dreams/goals you have

Some of my goals in life:

#2- Long Ago- Mariah Carey
#3- Numb- Linkin Park

#6- Freak of the World- Puddle of Mudd
#7- Halo- Beyonce
#8- Way Away- Yellowcard
#9-How Sweet It Is- James Taylor

Okay that wasn’t exactly in order but only because a couple of my songs didn’t have the names :s and I didn’t have headphones to listen to them.

Day 17 – Put Your Ipod on Shuffle…

So I sat down ready to do my next blog post
look up what is in store for Day 17
Go to grab my iPod
and it is MISSING!!!!

Now… it took me all about 3 seconds before I realized my sister Amanda probably took it with her. So until I get my iPod back I will not be able to do Day 17. My apologies!!! Please check back tomorrow for 2 posts.

Have a WONDERFUL Saturday!! xoxoxo

Day 16 — A song that makes you cry (or nearly)

I don’t have a song that really makes me cry or nearly makes me cry.  There are sad songs that I love but they don’t make me cry… thank fully. I love songs that have meaning!! and I enjoy the message I get from it. Maybe that is why I don’t cry?

Anyway I am off to another haunted house. Have a great Friday night!! xoxoxo

Day 15 – Your Favorite Song

This question is EXTREMELY difficult!!! I can’t just pick one favorite song! There are WAY to many good ones!! So I will just tell you my favorite band.

No matter what mood I am in I LOVE Collective Soul. I grew up listening to them and have loved them ever since!! If I am in a bad mood they make me happy. If I am in a grumpy mood they make happy. If I am happy they make me extremely happy. I just love them all around!! So here are 2 of my favorite songs by them! Enjoy :)

After All

December

Day 14 – What I Would Find in Your Bag

If you were to look into my purse you would find…. a BUNCH of papers hahaha! On top of that you would also find pens, my wallet, gum and my lip gloss. Exciting stuff huh?? :)

Day 13 – A picture of Somewhere you Have Been

So I know I promised I would post on Wednesday and I have been doing so good posting daily but this week has been crazy!! So I am going to catch up on all my posts today. :)

So on to day 13… In April Amanda, Kak and I were able to go to Vegas. We had lots of fun walking the strip, doing some shopping and going to the wax museum. Can’t wait to go again!!

Day 13 delay...

So I don't have a picture of some place I have been on my phone... so I will post one when I get to a computer! Check back tomorrow for two posts. Goodnight everyone! Xoxoxoxo

Day 12 — A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

Sorry but today there is no picture. The people who have had the biggest impact on my have been my friends and family. They have all impacted me greatly in one way or another. Since my laptop is pretty new I have posted all the pictures I have of my friends and family already so you will just have to look at them on my blog.

I have the greatest family and friends a girl can ask for!! I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for all of them!! I love you all dearly! Thank you for all you have done for me!! xoxoxo

Day 11 — A photo of you taken recently

So… I don’t have any solo pictures of me haha so here are some of me and my sisters this weekend at Lagoon.
I hope you all had a Wonderful weekend!! xoxo 

Missing

I am starting to miss feeling this way about someone.

Day 10 – A Photo Taken Over 10 Years Ago

I couldn’t pick one haha so here are a few!!
Me up in a tree. I don’t know how old I am here.
I am the middle in the top row.
This is my brother Larry and I. Aren’t I sooooo cute!! 

I hope you are all having a great Saturday night!! xoxo 

Day 9 – A Photo I Took

This is Foxie. I took this picture one day as we were laying on the couch together. She had just woken up from a really long nap. Isn’t she just soooooo cute! Love her!! xoxox

Day 8 - A Photo that Makes you Angry/Sad

This photo makes me sad….

This is my sister Nessa and her ferret Pebbles. Last week we found out she has cancer so we had to put her down. It was such a sad day and such a hard thing to do but we know Pebbles is now no longer in pain. We will miss her daily! This is their last day together. She was so sweet and cuddly!
Pebbles loved to give Vanessa kisses. So sweet! 
Sorry this picture is so dark. Pebbles was crawling under a pillow and she poked her head out one side. She is so cute!

We love you Pebbles!! xoxo

Gratitude

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. ~Melody Beattie

Day 7 – A Photo That Makes You Happy

I know I have said this many times before but it is true in this case as well… I have way to many pictures that fit into this category but I narrowed it down to two (only because they are currently the only ones available to me haha)
This is from last years pictures for my moms yearly Christmas present and I just love it for oh so many reasons! Many of which I am sure you can figure out! :) 
This is my little Paco!! He loves sitting on my shoulders! Whether we are in the car or sitting at home on the couch he loves to be on my shoulders and I just LOVE it! I also LOVE his face in this picture! It makes me laugh! He is such a cutie! Oh how I love my little Paco!!

Have a wonderful Wednesday! xoxo

Day 6 - A Photo of You and Your Friends

So it would take me FOREVER to post pictures of me and all my friends so we will just do my closest friends (although sadly I don’t have pictures with them all… so if you aren’t on here… that is why. If you have a picture of us please send it my way!!  It would be greatly appreciated!  :) Thank you in advance!)

My AMAZING sisters at Kak’s Wedding! BFF!!
Kak’s wedding take dos!! Peace Baby!!
Anzana, Amanda and I… Halloween 2009. I have known Amanda since I was about 11 years old and we have been good friends ever since. Anzana and I have been friends since our Sophomore year in High School. They are both like my sisters!! We have had such fun times together!! <3  

Amanda (again :)), Urs and I at Lagoon 2010. Urs is my cousin and I love her to death! We always have just a good time! Best time is getting Jamba Juice and going to watch Transformers!! lol
Hay and I at Strawberry Days 2010. I have known Hayley since 9th grade and she has been family ever since!! :)
Sean and I driving to Nightmare on 13th 2009. I have know Sean for the past 17 years. He has been a part of my family since. He is like a brother to me and all my sisters!

I have the best friends a girl could ask for. They have all helped me get to where I am in life. I know I wouldn’t be where I am now if it wasn’t for all of them. Thank you guys so much for making my life better, full of FUN and for helping me during my hard times. I love you all SO MUCH!! xoxo

Hope

This gives me hope…
I am so looking forward to going up Temple Square this Christmas! I haven’t been in years! Seriously I CAN NOT wait!!

Life…

So I hate to be the person who complains on her blog… but it seems like a great place to vent and boy do I need to VENT!!

My life has sure been filled with ups and downs and a lot more downs to be honest. Now don’t get me wrong… there are TONS of things I LOVE about my life! I have the worlds BEST family and the GREATEST friends! But I feel that I have reached a place in my life where I take a step forward and ten steps back! I know that really isn’t the case but feeling that way is starting to take it’s toll.

Work is stressful, money is stressful and boys are stressful!! I feel like I am carrying an elephant on my shoulder and my knees are getting weaker. There are days I wish I could stay in bed all day and just forget my worries but there is always something pulling me out of my bed (although very late some days – which is another stressor in itself.)

I feel like the last three months have just flown by with problem after another problem thrown my way! Of course there are some GREAT moments mixed in with all those problems… THANKFULLY!! I don’t think I would have been able to make it without those moments. They have helped me make it from one day to another but I just can’t seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel and I sure do miss it!

What is a person to do to make it through these hard times? After four months of going through what feels like never ending darkness… what should the next step be??

Day 5- Your Favorite Quote

Hello fellow blogger friends! You will have to forgive me if you read my blog since I have posted these quotes many many times before so just bare with me. There are two quotes that I love!

The first one I love because it explains how I feel perfectly! If I had to sum up how I feel about myself… this would be it! 

I might not be the most beautiful, or the sexiest, nor do I have the perfect body. I might not be everyone’s first choice, but I'm a great choice. I don’t pretend to be someone I'm not because I'm too good at being me. I might not be proud of some of the things I've done in the past but I'm proud of who I am today. Take me as I am or watch me as I walk away."

The second one I love because I feel it explains how I feel about life. :)

"Life is about screwing things up. That’s what we are here for. It’s the things you screw up and still have the courage to fight for, those are the things that usually matter the most" -the open road

Day 4 – Your Favorite Book

Wow this is hard!! There are SO many good books! But I have narrowed it down to my favorite author and one good book.

So to my favorite author… that would have to be Jack Weyland! I grew up reading his books and have loved them ever since. He is a LDS author and mainly writes for Youth but I still read his books :) Here are a couple of my favorites by him.





And my favorite book is… The Book of Mormon. I have really taken this book for granted for a lot of my life but recently I have made it a goal to finish it before the end of the year. I have never found a book that has the ability to answer my questions like this one. It is truly amazing how it can help guide me now matter what is going on in my life. It comforts me when I am struggling and directs me as to where I need to go in my life. If you just have faith this book can help you with anything going on that you need guidance in!! I am so grateful to have such a wonderful gift in my life!


On a side note… last night Amanda, Sean, Ness and I went up to Salt Lake to get some Sushi (well they ate sushi, I had some pork haha although I did try the sushi and yup I still don’t like it lol) and on the way home we passed the Jordan River Temple. I had never seen it before so we stopped and looked at it! It is REALLY pretty! Here are a couple pictures of it! Enjoy :)
 
Hope you are having a WONDERFUL Sunday!! xoxoxo
