Not my fault!

Ok, I know that I haven't updated lately but it really isn't my fault. I haven't had any access to the internet for like ever! And not only that but I have been really busy this month! First of the month I flew down to Vegas, for Thomas and Tyler's graduation. Then Flew back home and it was crazy back home because there was a ton that had to be done before Keisha's big day (Jaden's older sister). Then the wedding, then we had to go down to Salina for the Shaw reunion. As soon as we got back from that Jaden's sister Kristen and her two boys came to stay with us. And that my friends leads us to today! So see, not only did I have no way of getting on the internet but I also was crazy busy! So now that I have rambled on about what life has been like for a while I will go into more detail. If you are bored now... stop reading... it's probably going to get worse! Heehee! 

Ok the boys graduation. One of the saddest days! I have some to the sad reality that my little brothers are no more kids but young men! I so badly don't want them to grow up. I can't believe how fast life goes by. It seems like just yesterday that my little brothers were, well... little. Ha ha! I am so not looking forward to the day that they go on their missions. It is so close. It will kill me to have them leave. **Holding back tears** It is so funny because when I went on my mission I didn't understand why everyone was all sad and worried about me going on a mission. I just thought that they were all a bunch of weirdies.  I now understand. I am so scared to let my little brothers go in fear of what might happen to them. I know what goes on in a mission, I know what dangers are out there. I almost feel like there are more for guys than for girls. I always felt like everyone was watching out for us, and I always thought that the guys were just plain out hated. I am scared to let them leave to a place I don't know. :*( 
Ok, now the wedding. It was a beautiful wedding! Keisha was just glowing and was gorgeous. It was a very long day but full of fun. Keisha is so random and so was her wedding. Her husband walked out to the Star Wars theme song and she walk down to the Monday night football song.**Laughing out loud**  Now if that isn't just plain out funny I don't know what is. At the reception they had a photo booth. Jaden and I did the photo booth 3 times. Loads of fun and some pretty funny pictures too. Keisha's husband Brandon rented a ferrari for their getaway car. No way anyone was decorating that car! Brandon is so funny! He rented a shelby mustang for our getaway car and a Ferrari for his. Funny guys and generous. 
The Shaw reunion... one word... Boring. We were so bored while we were there. So when it was ok to leave we booked it out of there and went and had some fun on a seado. It was a blast. Of course I didn't bring a swim suite with me so me and Lindsay (Jaden's cousins wife) went shopping. I found a $8 swim suite in the little girls department. **Gloating**  I am not going to lie that made me feel pretty darn good! Jaden also let me buy two pairs of pretty sweet pants. I was stoked! 
As soon as we got back from Salina on Sunday I came right home and made dinner for Jaden's parents and his sister and her kids. We went to his parents house finished up dinner and then went back to our house to get Kristen, Lucas, and Keegan all situated at out house. Her kids are wild! But I love them. They may be wild but they are loads of fun! 
Today I got up, made waffles, cleaned up and came over to Jaden's parents house until I had to go to my doctors appointmen at 3. I was a little bit nervous about going to the doctor, BUT in the end it ended up being a great appointment. I found out that I am ok to have kids now. We can have them when ever we want. I am so excited. Of course Jaden told me not to get my hopes all up because he wants to wait until at least May to start trying. What a stick in the mud! I think that that is probably a good idea for us. **Sighing** Just given us some time for us before we become parents. So anyways... today was a good day! **Smiling**

Hawaii and my birthday


Hawaii was a blast! We did a lot of snorkling and shopping and eating! There was only one thing that I didn't like so much in Hawaii, it was crazy windy! Other than that it was great. We got to go on a boat that took us snorkling and fed us (that's always a good thing). We got to see a lot of beautiful fish and coral, we even saw a sea turtle. We didn't get really tan but that's because we loaded on the sunblock. I really didn't want a sunburn to ruin my fun.
The sights that we went and saw were lots of fun. We saw the black beach, and some lava tunnels. The lava was pretty cool, I wish we could have seen an erupting valcano but that didn't happen. We saw tons of waterfalls and beautiful green fullage everywhere. The locals were pretty fun to look at too. They all looked like bumbs and were all smoking Maui wowee. We saw some blowholes, and of course the ocean.
Now the food was delicious! We ate 3 times at a place called BJ's pizza...one word... Heaven. It was the best pizza I have ever had in my life. If I ever return that will be my first stop! The pineapples were to die for. Jaden is alergic to them so he can't eat them but he tried them there and they didn't bother him at all and he loved them. I think I gained a little weight over there. I ate too much pizza!
So I am now 25! Ouch! I feel so old! Half way to 50 as Tyler would say (thanks a lot little brother). For my birthday we went snorkling and walked front street and at my request went to BJ's pizza just to get their Pazzookies! Lisious! So my birthday was pretty good.
The trip went fast but we had a lot of fun. We took a ton of pictures and I am super excited to scrapbook it all.
The picture is my birthday pazzookie!

Mothers day in Hawaii




For mothers day I had the opprtunity to be with my mom in Hawaii. It was a fun day but I am wondering weather or not she thought it was fun. My dad and Jaden planned to drive the road to Hana, or the Hana highway. My mom and I both get car sick really easy so we were both a little not as excited as we should have been, but my dad went and bought some ginger pills for us and we didn't get sick at all. It made the trip fun. We got to see beautiful waterfalls and the black beach! I was so excited!

My mom is the best out there. She means more to me than anything. She is so loving and caring and would do anything for any of her kids or anyone else for that matter. She bought a million things for people at home on the trip and nothing for herself. She is the kind of person who would never say a bad thing about anyone and would never say anything for cause waves or hurt someone feelings. She is the kind of mom that I hope that I can be some day for my kids. She has taught me everything I know. She is the person that I look up to most. she is a hero, she is MY hero.
There are things that my mom has done for me that I will never forget. When ever I have been sick and that was a lot she ALWAYS stayed with me. She would sleep on the couch or stay up with me as long as she had to. Whenever I had a seizure she was there. She was the one to comfort me when I really needed someone. When I was going through depression she was always there to make me feel better and tell me it would be ok and that she was there for me. She is the greatest mom and I love her more than words can say. Happy mothers day mom, I love you!

Not much to report


Since we don't have kids I feel like there isn't much to report. We have pretty boring lives. We work and Jaden goes to school and thats about it. Jaden is the best man, he works two jobs and goes to school. What would I do without him? This past week Jaden's dad had surgery and he is healing very slowly. He was hoping to be good in like 3 days and he is still not back to himself. He is improving though.
Jaden's family is really into basketball so all these big games with the Jazz are really exciting for them. My family isn't really into sports so this is all really new to me. I really don't know anything about basketball and his family is determined to make me a basketball fan. I have gotten to a point that I know a lot of the Jazz players and I understand what is going on. I am not going to lie I am really enjoying it all. I am just as excited to watch their games as Jaden's family is.
Today was kind of a crappy day. Jaden came to my work and brought me lunch from Subway. After we ate we started working and while we were working we both started to feel pretty sick. I am pretty sure that we both got a little food poisoning. Jaden still went to work even though he felt sick. He is a trooper.
Jaden and I are getting really excited about going to Hawaii. Jaden has told me a lot lately that he is past due for a vacation. He is done with School on the first and he is really excited to be out for the summer.
I am afraid that is all for us lately. Until something fun happens to us it will be a while. Until then...

Girls camp!

So tonight there was a girls camp thing to let all the girls know what we are doing and some of the things that need to be done before we leave. We are learning a song that was written by one of the beehives, it is an amazing song. what a talent this little girl has. she wrote the words and the music, what a talent! Tonight was also the first time that I met most of the girls. They are so sweet and I am going to love my new calling. We had to take these pictures tonight for camp and they made us dress up like pirates. It was so funny to see all the leaders dress up. I was not to excited to do it. I am a little scared what they are going to use those pictures for. I know I look pretty stupid in some of them. Oh boy!
Tomorrow night I am going with Lisa my visiting teacher to her daughters play. It is at the Draper theater and that is right next door to me, who knew, I didn't. Ha Ha! Oh ya Lisa's daughter is the talented one who wrote the song for camp. So I am looking forward to tomorrow. On saturday I am going to a wedding for a girl that was in my mission. I am so excited! I haven't seen her since I left the mission. It is going to be great!
The only other cool thing that has happened that was super awsome was that Jaden and I got to go in the church administration building, which is where the 12 and the first presidency have their offices. We got to see where they practice their talks and all their offices. It was great. Unfortunately we didn't see any of them. That is ok though, I just saw all of them the other day in the tunnels that run past the temple. I am lucky to see them about every week. I love my job!

All the good stuff!

This week has been pretty darn good, if I do say so myself. Wednseday I went to my inlaws house to do some scrapbooking. While I was at their house I checked my facebook really fast because I had like a million emails saying this person wants this, they wrote on your wall, you know that stuff. So I was reading something that was written on my wall. It was written from a lady from my mission and she said that her daughter, who I absolutely love, was coming into town. She gave me her number and told me to call her and see if we could catch up with each other. I was so excited so I hurried and called her right then. Codey answered the phone and as soon as I said hi she knew it was me. She thought that I still lived in Vegas and was going to make a trip down there just to see me. Well I broke the good news to her that I was up here. Then we were both excited, so we planned a time that we could get together and catch up. I am SO stoked to see her. We decided to hang out on saturday. We'll watch the second session of conference together and just hang out the rest of the day.
Oh ya, on Tuesday I had a meeting with a member of the bishopbric and I was so excited about it because they wanted to give me a calling. I already teach the 17 year olds in sunday school so was really hoping that it had something to do with young womans. So I went in and the second councilor took me in a room and asked me if I would be the assistant camp director for the young women. I was SO SO excited, that is the calling I have wanted forever.
Ok now back in order, on Thursday I had a meeting for all the camp stuff. It was so much fun. I now get to go to young womens every sunday and all the activities. While I was there I got another calling from the president, she wants me to be the sports corrdinator for the young women. That one really scares me since I am not real good at any sport. I figure if the Lord called me to it there is a reason. Maybe it's just to get me off my lazy butt. Girls camp is going to be up in Heber and we get to stay in cabins and out theme is western pirates. So it is cowgirl meets pirate. That will be funny looking.
And Friday! Tonight I am going out with my visiting teachers and we are going to go to a movie and and out to dinner. I am so looking forward to it. I can't remember the last time that I went and hung out with just some girl friends. I actually feel like I have a friend now. I love it. WOW! I have to go. I am leaving in an hour. This has been a good week!

I finally finished! And Crappy neighbors!

I am so excited to anounce that I have finally finished my wedding scrapbook. I have been working on it for like 5 months and last night I finished it! It was so great to get that all done and out of the way. Now I am starting on my cruise scrapbook. It won't take me that long (hopefully) to do this one because there are a ton less pictures. My mother-in-law has really got me into this. I almost feel like my whole life is now revolving around scrapbooking. Everywhere I go I am looking for stuff and ideas. I have to admitt it is my addiction.

This doesn't have anything to do with scrapbooking but it does have to do with my life so i want to talk about it. Not last night but the night before that, Jaden and I were sound asleep and all of a sudden there was a huge bang. It scared the crap out of me. Then there was another one and another one. It was coming from our neighbors above us! I looked at the clock and it was 2:36 AM. I was so mad! These loud bangs went on until about 3:30. I was about to get up and go see what the crap they were doing but never found the guts to really do it. It really made me mad though. We are thinking they must be having problems and he was there alone that night so I think he was throwing things around. It might be our fault that they are fighting though because when Thomas and Tyler were up here last week we came home one night and it smelled like weed. Then our house started smelling like smoke. I was a little mad and so I told Jaden when the land lord came by to get our rent he needed to tell him about that. I am not going to put up with someone smoking weed around my house. Well he talked to them and that is when all the trouble started. O'well. All I know is there better not be crap going on in the middle of the night like two nights ago. I love my appartment and that is how I would like it to stay.

My stupidness


My husband is so good to me, that is all I have to say. He comes to my work, after he has been in school for hours, and takes me to lunch. He spends like 3 hours working at the conference center, to make a little more money, and then goes to work at Thatcher. Well I worked until 5 and then got ready to go home and realized that I had left my keys in the car after we had gone to lunch. We got out of the car at lunch I went to pick up my purse and thought to myself, there isn't anything that I need in there, I will just leave it here so I don't have it in there just chilling in some random cupboard. So now that I have figured out that my keys were in my purse in my car, I now realized that I had no way of getting home. Smooth move, retard! So I call my very loving husband to come and be my knight in shining armor to come and rescue me. He has to leave his work to come and unlock the doors to my car so I can get my keys to leave. So he comes and unlocks the car for me and isn't even mad at me. I totally would have been mad at me. He is so great to me. He calls me just to tell me that he is missing me and he loves me so much. Now really could there be a better man? I think not. Then to top it off he got off work early just so he could go to bed at the same time as me. I tell you, I am seriously the luckiest girl to have a husband like him. He's my hero, especially today!

I'm New!



Ya so I am so new at this that I accidentally posted that last thing without being done with it. Haha! ANYWAYS... We are living in a really cute apartment that I decorated myself. Our landlord is a way cool guy and let us paint the walls whatever color we wanted and pretty much lets us do what we want, it's great. My family was suprised at my decorating abilities. That made me feel good.
The second week in May we are going to Hawaii with my mom and dad. We have been saving up so that we can have a good time. Neither of us have ever been so it will be something new for both of us. We have been trying to get ourselves swimsuit ready. Lol!
I am sure you have already heard but Britney had her baby on the 9th of this month. Little Lexi Kay is growing fast and is the spitting image of her mother. Both mommy and baby are doing good. I am so excited to be an aunt again.
As for Jaden and I, it will just be us for quite a while. I have been talking with my doctors and they have told me that we will be able to have a family of our own someday but it has to be completely and totally planned. There are a lot of risks invovled but we have faith that the Lord will bless us with some precious spirits of our own. With in the next year and a half we hope to get things planned.
As for now that is about all that is going on in our lives. We aren't that exciting I am afraid. Hopefully I'll have more to report in the next bit. Good things (hopefully).

Jaden and I



I am not really sure how you do these so I am just going to give it my best shot. Mindy is coming over later to make it look all fancy so that it looks cool. I guess I will just tell you what is going on in our lives. Jaden and I were married on September 15th 2007 and went on our honeymoon on October 5th on a cruise to the Bahamas. It may seem odd because we went with ALL of Jaden's family, but we had a blast. I just love his whole family and we get along well. We currently live in Draper, UT. I am still working at the conference center doing the Audio visual stuff. Jaden is going to school at Salt Lake Community Collage, is working at Thatcher Chemichal and occationally comes to work with me at the conference Center. He is such a hard working man. I couldn't ask for a better husband.
