-had a once in a life time vacation

its getting better

Well my blog is sure a roller coaster ride. Going from up to super low. This ones gonna be in between.
Things are better. I don't cry every day. Which is good. My heart still hurts like someone is sitting on my chest. I think about him almost all the time. Except for when I get busy which I try to do all the time. Mornings are super hard. That's when we did most of our talking. Its rough. I miss him I'm not gonna lie. His sister emailed me which was the nicest thing. She is the mom of the girl we took to the zoo. I love her kids. I miss the whole family. I haven't heard anything from him which is probably the hardest but is probably for the best. If he doesn't love me I don't think I could handle him talking to me. I'm trying to get past it. Every time I talk to a guy I think of him. Every time I see a couple together I think of him. This is the hardest thing I've had to go through so far in my life. But it is getting slightly easier. My family has been uber amazing with letting me vent and cry. Dan has been a champ he feels super bad cause he's the one who set is up. He's been really good at keeping my mind of things. I'm actually glad he's home ha. But my friends have been awesome I love you all. And youre the ones who read this anyways so thank you. For everything.
Anyway I promise my next update with be on the high. I will post about Jamaica and my awesome presents I got for my birthday :)

one week

One week is how long it took for him to fall out of love with me
one week he went from telling me he was ready to marry me to not wanting to be with me
one week he went from calling me the love of his live to pretty much shutting me out
one week he broke promises he made to me
One week

no words

So I'm pretty much speechless when it comes to my life right now. the last few weeks have been amazing. all thanks to Michael Alan Hanna. as most of you know I love movies. and as most of you know men in movies are false idols. I figured that after the guys who I dated I would have to change my expectations about boys. well then I met Michael. he Amazing. he's funny athletic charming cheesey romantic spiritual clean goofy. he surpassed my expectations. I keep pinching myself seeing if I would wake up. its ridiculous. and I love it. He says the nicest things to me. but yeah the kid is great. sometime later I'll update more about our adventures cause we've had some good times and we'll probably have a ton more :)

Enter Text Here....

Well I know my last few post have been some what lame... but I figured Id try to catch up today..

These events will probably be out of order but whateves

-We had to put my dog Koda down. I had told my mom I just wanted them to do it but not to tell me when. She was doing good but she still had to wear that stupid cone and I hated seeing her like that. Then the swelling came back in her legs with ment she was getting used to the medication. I was okay when they did it. I had cried alot the last two weeks over her. But I knew it was somthing that had to be done. She wasnt the same happy fun dog as she used to be. I know she is in a better place barking and being all ridiculouly muscley like she was before all of this happened (and yes she had ridiculous muscles on her!)

-Kar moved down to school... Ive probably seen her maybe twice. When she comes home usually its with Alex so shes at his house. Its weird she was my only friend for 17 years and now I hardly ever see her of even talk to her. But she is having a blast down at Snow. Im glad.

-Dan is home. Dan needs to leave. :) Everyone said he was going to be a little weird and things. But not Danny. He is exactly the same. Which makes it easier for me to move out. :) I like the kid but man he gets me frustrated. It was way funny how my mom thought he was just amazing on his mission and how bad she missed him. But the other Day she got so mad at him. I loved it! Ha Bad to the good ol days of mommy yelling at brother.


-Me and Kandie went and painted the old cement factory! It was way fun! If you want to read more about it you can check it out on her blog! http://kandietyler.blogspot.com/2010/08/17-paint-cement-plantcheck.html

-I put an offer on a house. I still havent heard anything but hopefully by the end of the month...

-I finished my stinkin quilt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This isnt a good picture but it will do for now..

-I finally got my Montero! Its black (lame but okay) But the inside is in great condition. I got a super good deal on it... I love it a ton.

-Work is good. I got a raise and now qualify for bonuses! Boni.. Bonusi.. I now get a bonus! (That works better) So I cant complain to much about work.

-Michael. Michael is my new love. This kid is amazing. Just talking about him right now puts a smile on my face. Its kinda a weird story of how we met. He was in the MTC with Dan (yes I am a cougar) and Dan told him to write my sister. So he wrote my sister for two years (and she never told him she had a boyfriend.... what a hooker :) jk I heart you Kar!) then I saw him at Dans homecoming and I just went up to introduce myself cause I heard tons about him. And that was all. Then a few days later I kinda was feeling bummed out about the whole Jake thing still and I just had mentioned to Dan to hook me up with Michael.. Well he did. We have only spent three days together but they literally have been the best three days ever! (well maybe not so much the first one.. but it was still good :)) Any ways we spent all of peach days together went to the parade, went to all the booths, he even bought me delicious dutch oven there oh it was so good! He was even a trooper and went to a family party that I had to go to. And then dinner and a fire... It was good. Then just yesterday he had a whole day planned out for me. Which was different cause I was used to always planning and dragging certain people around with me. But I got to his house early for breakfast that he made. Then he gave me some options and I totally went for the taking his niece to the ZOO!!! oh it was fun! I havent been there for years! Then we hung at his sisters and husbands place for a bit. They are hilarious. Then we took a well needed nap. Cooked dinner. And then we went on a night hike. Ok I like hikes. But this one was... icky. It was maybe five minutes long but straight up a dirt road. And I know I am not in shape! So the whole hike neither of us spoke cause we were breathing so hard haha! And my legs were burning my lungs were burning. I havent felt like that since college ball! We finally make it to the top and I thought I was going to throw up which thank goodness I didnt cause that kinda would have been embarrassing. It over looks Park City. And the stars were so great that night! It was great. :) Then we came back sat in the hot tub to get life back into my legs. And finished off with a movie. It was good.

He is amazing. I miss him all the time. I wish I could see him more than just on Saturdays. But well make it work.

Anyways thats been my life the last few weeks...

smiley face

So I've met someone. It's new but it's so much better than I ever imagined. It's completely different than it was with Jake. His name is Mike. And he's younger than me :) But he is so great. He lives in Sandy so we only get to see each other on the weekends but we make good use of it :) no worries there will more to come

bitter sweet

This might be short but its comin from my new phone so its cool.
So these last few weeks have been pretty emotional.
Dan Dan came home.
I'm about to out an offer on a house.
Put a down payment on a Montero.
Went on a date with an old friend.
Went on another date with a great new friend.
And found out my dog has cancer.
When Tuesday comes I'll be a wreck. I'll find out about my car and put in my offer for my house and probably have my parents put my dog down. I can't handle her being this way. She has to wear a cone and she's mopey. I've had to put dogs down before but only for old age. And what ever happened to Koda happened to bloody fast it was just completely floored me. But I know its best for her. Its just hard getting to that point of knowing that that's hard.
So anyways in my next post it will be more uplifting I Have picture to share a hopefully some good news about the car/house/boy situation ;)

Well it hurt worst than I thought it would

k to be quick me and Jake broke up. I dont want to dive into specifics but we were just both not at the same place. It got hard for me and tiring getting him to show interest or do anything with me. But I mean its the right thing I think for both of us. Even though it sucks eggs.
So no asking about Jake okay!
So better and funner news. Me Kar and Alex went down to St George this weekend and played in an all night tourney! We played at 11pm 1am 2 am 4am 6am and 7am then Saturday at 9pm 10pm 1am and 2am! It was nuts!!! Its still a huge blur to me! But way fun! We had a blast dont think Ill be doing that for awhile! And the good news is.. NO ALMOST DYING! It was great.
Dan come home in 22 days.... CARAZY!
I got a ton of things to do... probably wont get it done haha.
His home coming is the 29th and you all are invited for sure!
I love my job right now! Except for getting up after staying up playing softball for 48 hours that was hard.
But Im doing what I was actually hired for. Running a machine that makes montages so I play on a huge super nice computer. Its pretty great. I have a blast with the people in the new room Im in but I miss the other people somewhat haha. But it makes the day go by way fast! I like it! Some times I dont want to go home! Yikes thats weird. I wish I could go in later in the day though that would be cool.
This weekend Im going camping in Bear Lake and Im super excited. I havent been up there this year at all. I asked Jake but I guess that aint happenin :( But its okay. I think its hard cause I loved his family a ton! Im just waiting for his sister and brother to text me to find out what happened. Okay I got off track back to Bear Lake. Kar is going up with Alex and his fam so hopefully my parents go so Im not left with them haha.
Well I still am liking my life. Its goin to be weird. My mom is already settin me up. I mean the last couple months I had more guys ask me out then my entire life so. There might be hope still. :)
I am also really considering buying some type of house. A type of fixer upper. And a new automobile so I got alot to look forward to the next while.
But yeah well Have a Good One!

I totally forgot about these

Okay so I have totally forgot about these great pictures! Ive been a slacker when it comes to posting them I guess. But here are some classics!

Kandie, Kandie, Kandie.... we went dumpster diving for my Jurassic Park gate entrance for Relay for Life............ She went all out and helped! I owe her and Katie!

I took Taleas senior pictures and this is her Kar and Alex trying to figure out thoughtful/fierce.. Kar is to thoughtful. Ts too fierce.... and Alley well hes just too special.


Kar graduated seminary!!!

And high school!!!!!!

This is the fam at Kars sem graduation! Were all great.

We played in a slow pitch tourney on the 3rd and my dad got a new camera so he went picture happy. But he did get a few great shots.

That white thing over my head.... yeah thats the ball.. phew!!!

This one is all about my fore arm muscle!!!!

So yeah there ya go! As for my life now its great. Work kinda blows just cause my fam is in Montana right now and Im sitting at home... blogging.... watching X-files..... eating Cheese Burger soup.... OH WAIT... THATS AWESOME!!!

JAKE DALEY IS HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hes a neat kid. I like him. I really missed him. We looked at his pictures last night. He got to do some pretty amazing things.... Im jealous.

Everything else is going splendid. Although I miss my friend Kristen..... She got married and has since not talked to me... maybe she will read this and text me to hang out :)

Well life is great.

I like it a ton.

Except for the having to get up for work.

But hey it gives me a lot of money well a lot for me.

k cool

I hope everyone can have a great day/week/month/year!!!

holy smokes what a month!

I dont even know where to begin. So if these are out of order my bad. Plus Im just going to list them.
-RELAY FOR LIFE!- it was a blast! This year was a ligit 24 hours. I was up from 8 am on friday to 12 pm on Saturday. I was BEAT! We actually got a few naps in between so it wasnt to shabby. The whole week before I had to work in the Rec office for football sign ups so I was very very tired. The next morning we did a t ball tournament! CAN YOU SAY FIRST EVERY RELAY FOR LIFE T BALL CHAMPIONS!! WHAT WHAT! it was awesome and way fun! A few teams semi ruined the fun and would yell and argue and we were like geez come on its for fun right?! The first game we started beating the other team and we ended up having to run backwards or skipping or hopping the bases. And we couldnt use our mits. And it was way fun! My team was super awesome!!
-WORK WORK WORK- The last two weeks were football registration for South Ogden. Which meant 10 am to 10 pm since I had to ump games at night. Yikes. I worked more these last two weeks than Ive worked this entire year.... times 3... maybe. But I like doing registration and the office work. It was the going to umpire and getting yelled at that wore me out the most. Just one coach just hates me and we all know why... its cause Im a girl. And I love the fact that the big strong dad man coaches try to accuse me of being wrong and in fact Im 100% right on the rules. Then we they acknowledge it they go up to the 15 year old I ump with and tells him I was right. He was super lame. But baseball is almost over! Time for tackle football!!!
-BENEFITS- For the first time ever I am now a full time employee.... with benefits! I hardly know what that even means!!! But I do. I start next week at Professional Office Services or what I like to call P.O.S. HAHA. Its down in Clearfield and they make business cards and batches of paperwork for doctors and dentist and people like them. The job I do is brand new so no one actually knew what the name of it would be and the GM ended up putting down like three job titles so it will be interesting! But Im excited. Sad that I have to leave SOC Rec but hopefully Ill still be able to work sometimes for them. Especially tackle!
-JAKE- Jake left me for Belize the day after Relay. He suprised me and came down to Relay Friday night... hes lucky he did cause I would have been ticked if he didnt show up!!! But he did :) Hes been out in the sun diggin for people or something related to that but NOT DINASAURS! He informs me of that all the time. Hes been gone exactly a week today. He doesnt get any phone service but I did get a little short but sweet email from him during the week. So he hasnt completely forgot about me! He wont be back until July so I got awhile!

So yeah.. that was just everything in a nutshell. It really doesnt seem like alot but man at the time, being so use to not working and not having things to do, then all of a sudden all this was thrown at me.... Kinda wore me out completely. Anyways hopefully things start to slow down so I can take it all in!

i was here

THIS IS MY NEW ATHEM.... LOVE IT TO DEATH!

I Was Here lyrics
You will notice me
I'll be leavin' my mark,
like initials carved in an old oak tree
you wait and see
maybe I'll write like Twain wrote
maybe I'll paint like Van Gough,
cure the common cold i don't know but I'm ready to start cuz i know in my heart
I wanna do something that matters
say something different
something that sets the whole world on it's ear
i wanna do somethin better, with the time i've been given
and i wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life
and leave nothin less that something that says i was here
I will prove you wrong
if you think im all talk,
your in for a shock
cuz this streams too strong, and before too long
maybe i'll compose symphonies
maybe i'll fight for world peace
cuz i know it's my destiny to leave more that a trace of myself in this place
I wanna do something that matters
say something different
something that sets the whole world on it's ear
i wanna do somethin better,
with the time i've been given
and i wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life
and leave nothin less that something that says i was here
And i know that i,
i will do more than just pass through this life
i'll leave nothin less that somethin that says i was here,
i was here,
i was here,
i was here
Wanna do somethin that matters
somethin that says i was here
wanna do somethin that matters
somethin that says i was here,
i was here

week in the life - sunday

Alright the last day of the week in the life series... So looking back I did a terrible job. But Im surprised I actually did it and it really didnt turn out so bad. I want to do it again sometime when I actually have a life maybe.

So the day after being at the ball park for 12 hours this is the time I wake up on Sunday... and no its not a.m. Jake did stay till 2 30 a.m. so I blame him mostly for me sleeping through both my alarms and not going to church. But I blame Jake for alot of things anyways.

I was sooooooo sore I could barely get out of bed! Everything hurt... ribs, knees, elbow, fore arms, back, calves.... everything. But nothing cures soreness than X-Files and Icy Hot!

Sunday was actually SUN DAY! Bea-utiful skys! Kar actually took this picture cause I literally couldnt get out of bed. But she actually did good.

Anyways that the week in my life... Its boring but I like it, it could be worse.

week in the life - saturday

So all day Saturday I played in a slow pitch tourney which surprised the heck out of me that we actually ended up takin second... But it rained all day so I wasnt able to take my camera outside. But I had taken some pictures in the morning.

This is what I wake up to every morning! Cowboy James Dean. Even for a drawing hes good lookin!

Now this is what I wake up to on the other side of the bed.... to be honest my dog creeps me out sometimes!

Gage sleeps with my mom every night. While she gets ready for work he comes into my room every morning. We sleep for an hour or so but like I said hes a cuddler...

My moms friend from high school son died this week. I had hung out with him a few times at Weber. He had a brain tumor that hed been battling for a few years now. He was a cool kid. I regret not going out to dinner that night he asked me.

Every night Jake text me. I only get to see him on the weekends and this weekend I only saw him for a few hours cause of softball. And I was sooooo tired and sore that I fell asleep for most of that time. But he always text me good night :) even with the smiley face. Hes cool like that.

week in the life - friday

So I love the smell of laundry. This is a Gain dryer sheet taped above my bed. It smells Divine. I know its getto but whatev I like it!

My mom bought some Shout stain remover stuff and this was my pile of clothes that had stains of them. Not all of them came out but the ones that worked I super happy about!

This is probably the first time since road trips for WSU softball that I had eaten inside Wendys. It was great! Good thing I needed a drink huh Kristy!

So like 80 people are having babies this year. But there are only two that I really care about. So I made onesies and bought the greatest book ever. I grew up with Baseball Ballerina so when a couple softball buds got knocked up its the first thing I bought! The other onesie I made had the Killers logo on it. And lets just say it rocked!

week in the life - thursday

Well X-Files... What can I say. I am addicted. This episode was the last episode ever! It still gives me goosebumps. Im really only on season 5 still but I jumped head cause there are parts in the finale that I just love :)

During one of Kars games she ran for a foul ball and smacked into the fence. To be honest I laughed. I laughed hard. Until she showed me the bruises the next day! Then I felt semi bad.

I swear I do this to my keys atleast once a week. Its okay if the door is unlocked but this time it was locked and my keys dont reach to the lock. Soooo its awesome!

This is the puzzle Mr Jake gave me... out of the blue. Hes a good egg! And yes thats James Dean, Marylin and Elvis playing poker. Its rad!

week in the life - wednesday

Wednesday was of course another cold day. So me and Gage just laid around most of the day. This is basically all we do. He is such a cuddler and its hard to get anything else done. Cause he just follows you around and wines. But who could say no to this little guy. He is actually laying on my lap as I type.

Sometimes Kitten gets jealous of our love and has to fight with Gage. Super annoying but what can ya do.


I coach a 10 and under softball team. Its a blast! I get worn out really fast cause they are all learning so we are "yelling" and telling them where they should be and what they need to do. Its way fun though. The girls make me laugh often...
This is my bedtime routine. Well besides the tv. But I read the scriptures of course every night. Its a great habit that Im really glad Ive made. The Marlee Matlin book is always last. Its the most intriguing autobiography I have read for sure. To be nice she was a baaaad girl. Her life was not at all what I thought itd be! But very inspiring for sure!

week in the life - tuesday

So basically Im obsessing with yard work right now. I usually do at this time of year but man its alot worse this year. I need to do it. I crave to do it. But money, time, work and the stinkin weather are killing me. As we speak I look outside and I should be taking advantage of the blue sky's, but Ill go out later :)

You gotta take a break to enjoy the labors of your work!
Eh this is our back patio that the only people who really see it is me and my sister when we feed the animals. But it was driving me nuts with the grass so I uprooted all the brick, relaid them and filled them with sand along with all the rocks. That took awhile cause this is when we had our nasty hail storm.

Nothing is better then watchin some ball after a hard days work. I really do miss it. But Im super psyched for slow pitch!!

week in the life - monday

Every Monday morning I start of just like this. Bowl of cereal, my phone and the computer. Danny gets to be on the computer at this time so we get to email each other.

Even though his emails mainly just make fun of me, its kinda nice to actually have some type of contact with him. He comes home in August and to be honest its going to be weird, Im sure alot of you have been through it. So Im looking forward to the awkwardness...

The highlight of my day was finding this chocolate bar in my house. Thats hard to come by with my family being raging chocoholics. But I later found out why it was left.... turns out not all chocolate is good. Surprising I know.

I was so happy to see water on the waterfall!! It reminds me of my Gpa Fry. He always said "Is there gonna be water on the waterfall?" I miss him

Im a master rubics cuber.... I did it on the way to Ogden with the madre. No worries I wasnt driving when I took this picture.
