My New Couches

So, for months and months the couches that I have had have been slowly falling apart. The arm on one side pretty much came completely off, the recliners were broken....so it was time for some new couches. It took months of shopping around since I have a hard time spending large amounts of money and found these. They are pretty comfortable and I got them on clearance. They are a pretty green color which is referred to has Sage. Daryl was nice enough to get my old ones out and place these so nicely while I was gone in Alabama for the last week. I LOVE THEM!!! I will post more about Alabama later with some great pics of me and my cute Alabama family at a later date! I think I need to go and take a nap on my new couches before I go to work tonight!

The Latest in Life

So, ya know how I only blog like twice a year, well I figured it was time to do it again. So here are some pictures of a couple random things, not much, but atleast stuff to blog about!


So, here are me and some co-workers who volunteered at the Ironman St. George triathalon May 7th, 2011. We were at a run aid station and handed out all sorts of things to the runners. It was pretty inspiring to watch and cheer on these runner. It baffled my mind that they could swim 2.5 miles, bike 112 miles and run 26 miles.....CRAZY!!!! Our station was western themed and it was warm out but we had a great time.

Eating, it is what the men do best. Chad, Jeff, and Ezra (who was full on western style). We were so proud of his team spirit!






Me and the real cowboy Ezra!

Me and my lovely Stacie! Love ya Stac!!!

Chad, Stacie, Honee, Rebecca, Jessica, Oakley, Peggy, and me getting ready at our station!

Michelle, Stacie, Rebecca, and me just showing up together!


So next was a little trip I took to visit my brother who was in Las Vegas for a civil engineering convention. We decided to take a trip to visit the Hoover Dam, which I had never seen before. They built this new bridge the goes by the Hoover Dam instead of over it and Justin wanted to see the new bridge since he is all nerdy likes that engineering stuff. It was actually pretty cool though to see it and see what they have done. We drove across the bridge and went and walked on the Hoover Dam too. It's pretty amazing and huge!

My nerdy brother "holding" the bridge. We are standing on the Dam looking at the bridge.

Me and my lovely brother on the Dam.

Me standing on the Hoover Dam. It is massive!

This is the walkway on the bridge looking at the Dam.

Holy big! In person it looks a lot bigger I promise.

So Here are just two pictures of Daryl and in San Francisco in Union Square. In December we went out to California for Daryl's nephew DJ's mission farewell and I didn't take any pictures except for these couple. I wasn't really in a picture taking mode, and any of you folk who know Daryl know he HATES having his picture taken and most of the time he just lets me if he can tell I really want to, but sometimes it's more of a struggle. These couple he was willing. These are his nephew and niece Dylan and Ella with us.

AREN'T WE SOOOOO CUTE!!! I think so atleast! This is our backgroud picture for our computer. Yes, we bought a computer together because yes we one day will be getting married it is just figuring out when and when he decides to finally do the asking.









So, there are some pictures to atleast give some entertainment for any readers out that that even still read this, which I am guessing is very few at this point. So, new for me, not much! I'm still working on the cardiovascular unit in St. George and working at night which is horribly hard, but I'm dealing with staying up all night as best as I can. I also bought a new bike that I LOVE!!!!! It is a hybrid, so not road and not mountain, but it is a beaut!! The furthest I have ridden it is 15 miles and my butt was sore, but a doctor told me the other day that you must "bum train." Whatever that means!!

Here is a picture of me with my wonderful bike! I don't look great by any because I took this at like 11 o'clock at night, but, here is my bike. Also, I remembered so other pics I have. My friend Sarah and her husband came down a couple of months ago and I have like 10 random pics when he got a hold of the camera, but don't worry, I'm only posting two that he took for us.

Sarah and I talking while Brent was just snapping away in every which way.

Here is a normal pic of us.....I miss my little best friends!!! It's so nice when people come visit! Love you Sarah!


Also, Kelsey and Spencer came down for a little visit a couple months ago also!

Here we are chilling on my couch! It was so great to have you guys here, Love you so much!!

Oh, and of course I can't forget a pic of lunch with my work girlies!!! This one was taken right after christmas, at our normal lunch spot, Olive Garden.

So, that is about it! Oh, yea, I also finally sold my cute little Acura Integra finally. It was sad, I almost cried, but I got a Honda Accord that I love soooo much! I am also going to Alabama this week to visit my brother and sister and their family and I am way excited! I really need to get out of this place for a while. Well, that is about it for now, maybe, like I always say, I will try to keep updating, but no promises!!!

Where to Start!!!!

Ok so first off we will go back to my graduation on May 6, 2010 and the graduation pictures my friend Kamill took earlier in the year. She is amazing!!

Kamill and I had a day of adventure going all over St. George taking pictures....it was a blast with a whole bunch of laughs.....she even got attacked by a horse!

Next, and actually if I remember correctly are some pictures of my sister Jeneeces sealing day with her hubby and kids in the Mount Timpanogas Temple earlier this year.

Then we just have some random stuff through the rest of the year.....

The things we create at work....a graduation hat for a patient that was finally leaving after like a month....yes....normally this is what we put in the toilet to catch our patients urine.....we use what we have.....

Me at my first bonfire on the beach with daryl, we were just south of santa cruz.....it was for my birthday this last year. loved it!
Chilling with our bonfire to keep us warm!
I loved my headlight, I was very helpful by shining Daryl in the eyes over and over again while we were trying to carry all our bonfire stuff down. He thought I was pretty funny with it, and he loves my cheesy smile too!!!


And here is his cheesy smile....Just in the car getting ready to go somewhere....
He loves my kisses!!!

This last weekend I went and saw my family for the first time in like 4 months....and my little niece Kiya has gotten huge and even cuter!!! It was fun, we ate yummy food and hung with the family and played games. I need to go home more often!

And my little nephew Garrin has grown and turns out loves taking and having his picture taken, this is just one of many!!!

Ok, so that is my photo collage to catch up a little bit....more has happened, but I just don't have pictures. So I passed my nursing boards in June, and yes it was the worst couple of days of my life....I felt bi-polar trying to decide if I felt like I passed or not.....but luckily I did. I have been practicing as a nurse since then and have been loving it. I still have so much to learn, but it has been great. Daryl moved out here from California about a month and a half ago and is still looking for a job so pray for him. He plans to go back to school and then who knows where we will go......well....I think Ihave updated enough....hope there are still people out there to read this. I love you all and would love to hear from any of you!!!

Where have I been?

Well, for anybody who even reads this anymore, which at this point I bet is no one....I have been around. Quick update, I'm working as a nurse in St. George still and I'm working nights. I will find some more pics to post and try to update soon. I really do want to blog....I just never do. More to come!!!

Light at the End of the Tunnel and Spring Break

Here is my graduation invitation, sorry not everyone is getting one, I didn't really think about everyone I needed to send one to when I was printing them so everyone is invited, I just couldn't get them all out!! My graduation pics won't load right now so I'll load them on a separate entry!

So over spring break in March I went to disneyland and huntington beach and LA, to Hollywood. A quick sidenote, I seem to blog when I have the most to get done, not when I'm bored....little weird, but true. So here are some pictures. The weather was perfect in the 70's and the lines weren't long!!! Perfection!
Huntington Beach, super windy, but beautiful day

La Brea Tar Pits in LA, pretty freaking cool

Walk of fame, Frank Sinatra and Julie Andrews

Marilyn Monroe, and underneath it the inscription says "gentleman prefer blondes"

Hugh Jackman

Hard Rock in Hollywood, David Cook totally sat at the table next to us and my friend linds took a pic of her kids with him, it was kinda cool to see a real life star!!! =-)

Me at the castle in disneyland

Getting on spacemountain, I feel like I look like a little kid all excited, I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty excited. I think we rode it like 5 times and I swear it's faster then it was....

Me at the bugs life 3d show, it's a fun little show to go to I just love the glasses!

We ate at the blue bayou and they had the yummiest gumbo and monte cristo sandwich, to die for!!! It's to dark to see the pirates ride going behind us, but it's there!
