Flashback Friday
Sk8ter Girl When I was young, rollerblading was in, and I thought I was pretty awesome. I would spend hours on those things....many sizes too big, and with close call ankle twists. I had skillz. You will notice the graceful tricks I used to slow down, and my impeccable balance. If you pay attention....you can also hear Lillian egging me on, →
The Return of “FlashBack Fridays”
First and foremost, let me just say that I CANNOT believe that I am ACTUALLY exposing myself to complete and utter humiliation. Yes, I know I was a ridiculous child, I have somewhat come to terms with that. But....I've been missing my "Flashback Friday's", and I have come up with a fun new series for myself. For the next few →

I can't believe it's that time of year again. Last year I wrote a post about that day, and what I was doing, and how I found out. It's something that I will never forget. So, this year instead of talking about my experience, I thought I would post the experience of someone who was actually there and →

Look how young we all are!!! I think these were taken soon after I graduated high school. It doesn't seem like we've aged much until I look at an old photo, and then I sure feel old! Before I know it, I'll be 30!! Eck! We had taken our family photos here in Las Vegas, and went out to the strip →

Chris and I went to our favorite pizza place one night, and happened to notice that the suite next door was a pet store. We dropped by just to check it out, and we fell in love with the two adorable little puppies! The little pomeranian was this 3 lb little fluff ball, and in the same playpen was →

This was my Senior year Drill Team Review. I was on the High School Drill Team for 3 years, and I really did enjoy it. We had so much fun all of us girls. From road trips to our daily practices, there was always a lot of laughing that occured. I don't really ever remember any fighting going on between →

How we met...the UN-fireworks moment Chris and I met at Dixie State College in a communications class that we had together. Taking that class with him was very difficult because it's hard enough getting to know someone when things are still awkward, but then to be forced week after week to get up in front of everyone to give a speech →

When Chris and I were dating, I used to make funny little cards for him. It was really kind of silly, but he got a kick out of it, and I had fun making them with my roommates. There's a little bit of background to this card, and the front has a quick story. First of all, No....that's not a →
When I was in college, I lived in a house that occupied 12 girls. That's right people, I said 12 girls under 1 roof. It proved to be a fun experience that enabled me to get to know many different people. Imagine what a weekend could be like with 12 roommates and their friends all at your house. It was →
FlashBack Friday
AAhhh....graduation. The day had finally arrived, and I couldn't have been happier. There's really not a whole lot to say about this. You feel kind of sad because you know things will never be the same, and you're now entering all new territory. High school is easy...because it's a comfort zone. I knew most everyone, and had friends with almost →

My brother John and I took these photos at the St. George mall...a VERY LONG TIME AGO. It was the very first time we had ever been in a photo booth and we thought it was VERY exciting. Unfortunately for me, I was clearly going through an awkward stage. Just look at me, I can't even tell if I had →

I Hate Walgreens This is from when I worked at Walgreens . The bane of my existence at that time. Can you see the exhaustion on my face? Dang I hated that job! Even though I needed the job, and it helped us get through school, I hated it there. It's one of the lowest paying jobs I've →
FlashBack Friday
My first year of college my sister and I went down to Mexico for an extended weekend with friends. Chris and I had just started dating, and he couldn't go with us, so I took my friend Ryan. He lived in the same apartment complex as me. We had such a blast, and every time I think about that weekend →
Flashback Friday
These photos are soooo embarrassingly cheesy, but you kind of had to be there to understand. Programs like this tend to breed corny, but at that age, I guess it's all kind of cheesy anyway. (Not to mention that looking back now, these boys all look like they're about 14 years old) This was the summer I went to EFY. One →
FlashBack Friday
This is a picture of my entire Kindergarten class. It's funny because I still remember every single one of their names, mostly because many of them graduated with me as a senior in high school! If you look to the top row on the left, there's a boy wearing a yellow and white striped shirt. His name is →

This was the very first car accident I was ever in. My best friend Amanda had joined the cross country team, and she had somehow managed to talk me into running with the team that day. After practice at White Rock, we were driving back with ML and she wasn't exactly known for being the brightest or best driver in →
I Remember…
I woke up this morning and I completely forgot that today is September 11th. I'm kind of ashamed that I let the morning go by without much acknowledgement. I remember the morning that it happened. I arrived at work at about 6am, and I walked into the electronics department at Sears, and everyone was standing around the big →
