busy busy!!

..life isnt always beautiful but its always a beautiful ride..
~~ H. gyuitez

isnt that so true? Here's a little bit of my life, sorry i havent updated much, life has sure been crazy lately :)


1) Not last sunday, but the sunday before, so january 31st, my mom put the potatoes the stove to boil so we could have mashed potatoes after we got back from church. Well, in the chaotic-ness of everyone getting ready & trying to make it to church on time, she forgot to turn off the potatoes! As most of you know, we live right across the street from our church building. After church, ryan my mom and i, were all walking home from church and can hear a LOUD fire alarm going off! Where is it coming from? oh yeah. our house! along with thick black smoke coming from the opened door. Koy had gotten home before us and ran into the house (who taught him to run into a house full of smoke? not me..) he came out the front door yelling, and ryan by the time was running into the house. He got a hot pad and tried to grab the pot off the stove, but it was so hot, he barely made it outside before it burned throught he heat pads. He threw the pot on the hot tub cover and it burned a hole right through it.. so grabbed new heat pads and put it in the deck, oh, put a hole in that too. :) finally got new pads and put it in the snow, where it continued to smoke for a good 15 minutes! We opened all the doors to the house, and windows, thinking how lucky we were that the whole house hadnt caught on fire! Thinking that we would just have dinner at the neighbors and everything would be fine later that night, boy was she wrong. We had to call our insurance and they had to take all of our clothes, cleaned all the decorations, wiped down all the walls, set off 2 ozone bombs(for the smell), cleaned our carpets, windows..EVERYTHING talk about spring cleaning!! We had to stay in a hotel for 9 days! Does that sound so fun!? yes? youre wrong! SOO lame!! :/ We're finally back into the house, but the smell is still here.. a little. we still don't have a stove or a microwave yet! oh life, you are so crazy to me and my family this year, already! After telling my friend about this happening, she says "within seven months, your parents have divorced, your house has been robbed, & your house sets on fire" ..thanks nicole, thanks for reminding me..haha.. oh man. i took some with my phone and some with my a330 thats why some are of less quality. since i know you all care about that kinda stuff, and everything..:) The one above is pictures of our stove and microwave, missing. and the other ones are all of our clothes and everything getting ready to be dry cleaned and everything else.





2) Ive been really busy with my camera!! I'm trying to build up my portfolio for the future, i guess you could say.. I've really been thinking about my schooling & that i might consider going into photography, maybe as a minor. I really enjoy photography, but i'm not so sure i want to go to school for it? I jsut want to take classes to learn how to be better! Idk. Heres some pictures of josh that i took. He's my little sisters friends brother. :) Or my moms friends son. I also went to school with him for a little bit, he's a year younger than me.





3) Busy with work! I'm working about 34 hours a week, so not quite full time! But its enough for me! On wednesdays and fridays i have a break between 11-1, and i'd take that time to go donate plasma. But last week when i went, they stuck me twice and gave me a bloodclot :( so i was a little nervous going back to the plasma center for my appointment. They gave me a vein check and told me my veins in my right arm are too weak to donate. i've been "deferred" for 90 days! Now what am i going to do with my breaks? oh, probably..probably blog. yep. :]

4) being off track is not that sweet! I miss school! Is that so weird?! I miss the college life! Almost all of my friends except taylor and hada are gone away to school. I come home from work and i dont really do anything. I take pictures, and go watch my sisters basketball games..or take her to her friends.. skdjfadlfka;dfkajsdfkaf. idaho falls is a silly town. i need a way to meet more people. i'm kinda a social butterfly if you know me. this is killing me.

5) shoot, i had something good to write..ohhhh yeah i remember. tonight im going to see dear john. im kinda excited! :]


6) Even little ellie loves my glasses. don't hate. she kept them on and even stuck her tongue out and went cross-eyed for a second. hahahah.

You are just so stinkin' cute! I'm glad all the house stuff is getting worked out. We want to hire you to take our family pictures in the spring or summer. I need some really good ones that I'm gonna have done up really big for the wall going up my stairs. I'll let you know when the time gets closer. Oh, can you edit out double chins ;)?
