My sister.... My friend.....

Its my lil' sisters birthday tomorrow and so last weekend we went down to richfield where she and my parents live to celebrate. It was so much fun. I always love going to see my sis and family.

When I was a teenager I remember how sad she used to get when I would leave with my boyfriends or friends and not take her along, she used to cry and it would make her feel so bad. Chelsea and I are best friends and always have been. We always have gotten along so well and now its my turn to feel how bad she used to feel. I hate having her live so far away, I dont' feel like her big sis when she is that far away, I feel like I should be there to help guide her through school, to choose friends and most of all to find mr. right, I dont want her to get mixed up in the wrong direction. Now she is almost graduated and thinking of going off to school, I am so scared she will go off some place where she will be futher away and all I want is for her to come her so her and I can go to nursing school together and I can take care of her and watch over her while my parents are gone on the truck, so this is where it comes in that I feel so sad now, I don't want her to go further away and start a new life of her own, I know some day she will but just not yet!

I love you chels!

Also this weekend we celebrated jade birthday with my family, him and chelsea shared a cake and we went out to dinner with all my family.

Jade went 4- wheeling with my dad and they seemed to have had a blast. I cant wait til we see everyone again.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JADE!!!

I know I am a little late..... on the 5th it was jades 23 b-day, we celebrated up in blackfoot with our good friends kevin and becca. It was alot of fun, jade and kevin got drunk while bec and I supervised, the boys played guitar hero while we shopped and then we all played some board games together. It was good fun!
jade- happy birthday baby! I hope you had a good time. Maybe next year we will have some extra money and can do something extreme :)
I love you!

So far in 2008

well its only 2 days into the new year but so far so good, until today. Jade has had a terrible day for some reason, he told me we would talk about it when he got home from work tonight and I to had a bad day, I really dont' like my job and just want a new one but can't find one that pays decent in this valley so here I am stuck in a job that I hate. Oh well its life.
So far I have keep up my goal of loosing weight, well I am not sure if I have lost anything or not but I have gone to the gym every day this week. I always dread going there but once I get done and come home I always feel so much better.
Well I hope that Jades news isnt all that bad, it has put him in a bad mood so it just might be. I guess I will see when he gets home.
oh and HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone out there!!!!!

Thankgoodness....

Well only one more holiday left in 2007....YAY..... I don't know about all of you but I am so glad its almost done with. The holidays are so stressful, dont' get me wrong they are lots of fun, you get tons of food and lots of gifts and you get to spend lots of time with your loved ones so it totally has its benefits but it also makes you broke, stressed (which causes major breakouts) and the worst of all fat, I don't know about all of you but I probably gain 5-10lbs during the holidays, I love the chocolate! So back to my point, I am glade for the new year cause then its like you get a fresh start of everything, like you get a fresh start on your savings account and a new start on your weight loss program.... HEE HEE..... well anyways I just wanted to let everyone know that I am happy for the holidays but I am also very glad that its over. I am so happy for the new year, I have so many goals in mind and really want to stick to them for the new year and I just fill like a new year is a fresh start!
MY GOALS-
* lose weight( goal is to lose atleast 60lbs)
* get pregnant ( #1 goal)
* start a savings account
* and just to be happier and make the best of life!

lessons learned

OK so I know that life is suppose to be a test for each of us to see what we can handle. I don't have a problem with things like per pressure and all that stuff, I am to old for that but what I have trouble with is like money and adult life in general. what is the right way to live? I don't know about everyone else my age but I know that Jade and I sure are having a hard time keeping our heads above water... if you know what I mean.... We both work full time and make 10-12.00 an hour and still we cant afford to pay our bills. What does it take? I mean its not like we have super fancy stuff or anything like that cause we don't, we just have normal stuff from wal-mart or what not. I know its life and everyone has to go through it but how are we ever going to succeed in life if we are constantly tyring to get out of the deep end? I hope that someday we are able to finally get a breath and get our heads up out of the water and move on. I would love to have a baby and buy a house and do all this stuff that everyone dreams of, that's exactly all it is though is a dream! I hope that one day our dreams come true.
