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 ...

Valentines Day

 Valentines day is a very special day for us. Nine years ago we went on our first date. Nine years ago I was doing some not so good things with my life. I drank a lot, did drugs, and smoked cigarettes. Not the ideal thing for a Mormon girl to be doing. I did not have much support and just hung out with people who did the same things as me. I knew I wanted to changed and be better but I didn't know how. I prayed one night the Lord would send me someone who would help me with my drinking and smoking because I couldn't do it alone. One day in January I went to church,  at the singles ward, pretty hung over from the night before. But hey, at least I was at church! I remember seeing this boy from a distance and something struck me. You know love at first sight? Thats kind of what happened, except it wasn't exactly love; there was just something about him that I needed in my life. He saw me sitting alone in Sunday school and he asked to sit next to me. I looked around the empty...

Christmas

My friends think they know me or something.... Amy made a shirt that says "Trophy Receptionist" in GOLD, and Ginger gave me socks that said " You're Not The Boss of Me" It's like they think I act like a princess, but I don't ;). I was pretty excited for my socks and shirt My lady lumps make it hard to read my shirt!  Since it was the week before Christmas we really didn't have a lot of patients. Amy and I made one of our famous music videos, I am going to try to post it right here but don't know if it will work.  I went to Sam's Club with my sister one day and hung out with my super cute nephews. I want to squeeze and kiss them all the time! They are the most kissable boys ever! Well, So is Chris! The little one is just chillin like a gangsta.  With my Christmas bonus I bought myself an Alex and Ani bracelet. These are super popular in Rhode Island and they have a store in Salt Lake City too. They were start...
