That One Time I Was Attacked By A Cactus

Greetings from Vegas! The county Chris works for sent him to Las Vegas for a training, and I got to tag along. To prepare for my trip, my friend Jenni and I got our nails did and I got a spray tan. We usually do this beauty activity with our friend Lisa, but she wasn't able to make it and that made us sad, so we sent her a selfie instead.

The next morning I woke up a different nationality. You would never have guessed I am of Irish and Scottish decent, but damn I looked fine! And I have gotten hit on twice since we have arrived in Vegas, so I think the spray tan thing is working for me! We woke up super early, dropped the dogs off and hit the road! The trip took us 13 hours because if you know me well enough, you know I have to pee every 30 minuets. We also stopped in Salt Lake area and did some shopping.

My man is a nut, but he has the dough so I stick around. And he's cute.

If you have noticed on my blog, I love to take selfies with my Diet Mountain Dew. We have a pretty close relationship, it's kinda serious. 

This was somewhere in the middle of Southern Utah, Because my tan looked fine, my butt looked acceptable in yoga pants, and my 3 day un-washed hair was looking semi-ok.

We stopped in St George to eat dinner. This was when I was attacked by a cactus. I was walking along, minding my own business, and it literally jumped out of nowhere and attacked me. I have puncture wounds in my chest and arm. I only screamed for a second and then I showed the cactus whose boss. Chris decided it would be ok to snap a picture of me stuffing my face with a burrito and post in on facebook. I had a salad for lunch so the burrito tasted like heaven, and that is why I look super classy stuffing my face. I am not always the proper little girl I try to come out to be.

When we finally got to our hotel we went swimming, because it was so nice out still. The next morning Chris went to his training so I spent the day by myself. I went to the gym, and then laid by the pool alll day long. It was a gorgeous day! After Chris came back we walked around the strip, and ate at Guy Fieri's restaurant. Chris is a big fan of Guy, so it was pretty exciting. Also, the food was delish. I was in heaven when we went to the Hershey's store, because I have a problem with chocolate. Somehow, it ends up finding its way to my mouth, quite too frequently. I also ran into Donny Osmond and gave him a kiss, he told me "Go away little girl, your much to young to be alone with me" And I said ok fine, and gave him my mom's number (see what I did there). I am still on the hunt for the hunk of burning love named Elvis.

Easter and Not Having Friends at Church

I had the privilege of teaching the Easter lesson this Sunday. I taught on the Savoir's last week on earth. I hid Easter eggs all over the room with scpritures on Christ inside them. The girls loved the Easter egg hunt because their parents say they are too old for egg hunts.  Sunday's are hard sometimes. I caught my self crying during sacrament today. well, because I have no friends. About a year ago our Ward was dissolved. I had a lot of friends at church, some who have become my best friends. My good friend Jenni who lives a block away and was really my only friend in the ward, moved across town yesterday. Another family I am friends with is moving as well. Church is the hardest place to make friends. I feel like because I don't have kids, and I'm not a newly wed, I don't fit in with any of the groups. The people my age have a million kids, and the couples without kids are kids themselves and just got married like last week, and no one has really wanted to be my

2016

I have sat and thought a lot about what I am going to say in this post. So much has happened this year, its been rough but it also has been a blessing. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right? I learned a lot this year. First of all the biggest thing I learned that I definitely paid for was listening to bad feelings. I learned what true friendship was, and saw the ones who cared and saw the ones who didn't. I learned about priorities and what really is important in life. I learned of death and that death is not the end. I learned patience. Maybe I didn't learn patience but I tolerated patience. I learned and always knew that no matter what happens in life that you and your spouse are all that matters. Lets start off with January. Chris was working at the juvenile detention center 45 minuets away from our house. This was a wonderful job opportunity that we both felt so good about. It started to become rough. He was gone all the time and we never saw each other. He

I like older men.

This weekend was Christopher's birthday!! My main man is 33 now, I'm still holding on to my mid twenties like my life is depending on it.  We went for a short get a way to the big city, Salt Lake City. Left the dogs with the grand parents and off we went. After I doused myself in essential oils I was calm enough to sit as a passenger in the car. I think I made my self too sick with anxiety and worry. Tears were shed for no reason in the middle of a resturant and hanging over the toilet Happened. It's either my anxiety or these fertility drugs I was taking. But I have my big girl panties on and can handle this!  The first thing we did was hit up Cripsy Cream. It's like heaven in your mouth. Lunch was at Roadizo Grill. We took our selves shopping and back to the hotel for rest.  The next morning we found a random Ward to attend to take the sacrament, stopped to take a look at the Brigham City Temple, and got back on the road. Like I said, this was a super fast trip.  When
