Hey all,
Thanksgiving was pretty good. We went to visit my Grandma and have Thanksgiving lunch with her. She didn't want the whole traditional meal lol. She wanted Bean Burgers haha. Odd, but they are pretty good. We stayed for a couple hrs. We had a good visit (:.
Than we went home and got stuff ready for our family's Thanksgiving dinner. And it was also my Brother's 23rd Birthday. He went down to his friends house that evening. So, it was just my Mom and I that evening. It was a good dinner :P. Very yummy!!
I started having a bad day towards the end though. Because I was missing my Dad too much. It was just not the same doing all these things without him here with us. He was the one who'd always cut the turkey and say the family prayer. And it will just never be the same, ever! I miss him soo terribly!
Sorry, don't have that much to say. Umm... today I got our Christmas Decorations outta the basement today to put up tomorrow. I'm excited about that than I can take my mind off things and just kinda put it all to the back of my mind. And plus I enjoy decorating the house up for holidays. It's fun for me. And I think my Dad would want me to enjoy it. I'm just glad that the lights my Dad and I put on the house last year still works. (We left them on the house all yr). So it's like my Dad is still here helping me, ya know?
But I'm gonna go now. I hope everyone is all good. And I will catch you all later.
Merry (early) Christmas!

October!
I just can't get myself to come on here like I should and post stuff. Not too much has been going on. Still same old stuff.
Um, I was finally able to get me a few good friends, which I am so thankful for!! Their names are Deshelle, Derai (they are sisters)and Heather. The ones in the town I lived before for almost ten years, they don't even compare. The friends I got now, have been more of a friend to me in the few months that I've known them than friends I had in Monroe for almost 10 yrs. I'm just so happy I have them in my life! I'd be doing so bad without them!
We got a new kitten. She is just so beautiful. She's a doll. We love her so much. We named her Bunny, because she really does hop like a bunny lol. She is one hyper little thing. We've had her for about a month now.
We got her because my Mom's cat Snuggles died. I gave her to my Mom either for her Birthday or Mother's Day. I can't remember for sure. But she was also a VERY beautiful cat. We had her for close to 10 yrs. We miss her a lot. But she's with my Dad now.
Today is October 4th, 2011. It's the 7th month mark that my Dad passed away. It hasn't gotten any easier yet. And I don't think it will for a long time. I just can't get use to life without him. I miss him so much. I still wish that when I go to bed at night, I will wake up and he will be here... that it was a dream. It still feels like that. I can't even talk about that night when he went. It's to hard on me to even think about it. Because I will just start crying and I can't quit. I know a lot of people don't think I'm doing as bad as I am. But I am doing really bad. I've just learned to hide a lot of it. For a while there I was having nightmares about my Dad. That when they did the embalming on my Dad at the Mortuary, he would wake up after that's done to him and he would ask me why his face and body was so hard like that. He couldn't figure out what happened. That dream bothers me so much. It's disturbing! But I just can't believe it's been 7 months already. Seems like it's only about 3 or 4. The Holidays are gonna be so hard for all of us. Thanksgiving because Dad is the one that would always say the prayer, and cut the turkey. My Birthday and his Birthday. Which is (Mine)Dec 12th, (His) 13th. We would celebrate our Birthdays together every year. It's really gonna suck this year!!! Than there is Christmas. That will be the most hardest of them all. I don't know how I'm going to deal with all those this first year. I'm gonna need extra strength from Heavenly Father and my family to get through all that.

5 months...
It's been 5 months ago about now, since my Dad went! I love and miss him so terribly!! I think about him all the time! I know he wouldn't want me to cry or be sad, but it's so hard! I just want him here!! I want to talk to him, laugh with him, go work on things with him, hug him, and tell him how much I love him and how proud I am of him!! Always have, always will, for all time and eternity!!
I'd give anything for him to be here with all of us. If only... I need to stop doing that! Ya know, doing the if only, what ifs, could ofs, would ofs. But I can't help it. I need my Dad so much!! I've been putting on a brave face all the time, and I just wanna cry and break things. This shouldn't of happened, not this soon. He was way too young. It's not fair!!
Why can't I just go to bed and wake up and all of this was a dream?!? I wish so very much it was. Than we could of changed the outcome. I was so very close to my Dad! We'd do so much together! I was always wanting to help him work on things just so he wouldn't have to do it by himself.
I'm just so thankful though that I did get to spend so much time alone with my Dad, doing all kinds of things! That will be forever with me!!
(That was his and my saying to each other, he'd say " I love you for an eternity" and I'd say " I love you for two eternities." I miss that so very much!!)

I Swear, This Time I Mean It!
I've been thinking... I think that starting next month I am gonna get serious and start losing some weight and get myself healthier again! Because I need to start taking better care of myself. My Mom doesn't need something bad happening to me now.
I got some of this diet stuff called HCG. IT is really good stuff It helps you lose a pound a day or more. You have to go yourself a shot every night before you go to bed. You are on a VERY restricted diet. You only get 500 cal. a day, and the shots also gives you 500 cal. It's hard but this time I am gonna go all the way through it. It will definitely all be worth it in the end!
I am gonna put my heart and soul into this. Because I'm very self conscious of my self and this will give me confidence and I'll just feel a lot better. I've tried this before for only like 4 or 5 days, I had to stop though cuz it was making me sick cuz I was on my monthly and you aren't suppose to do the shots when you're on it. So I just stopped and decided to just start over when I'm ready. But anyways, within those couple days... I was already losing weight. It was great!
I'm guessing that after my fist round, I will have lost 40lbs or more by sept. Than I have to wait 6 weeks than if I want to I can go a second round for another 43 days. And I am. So I'm guessing right around dec. I will have lost another 40lbs, and that just be so awesome! I'd feel so much better about everything.
And plus I think my Dad would be really proud of me if I did this and lost all that weight. And I wanna make him proud of me!

Dad
It's been almost a month since my Dad passed away. In a week it will be a month. I just still can't believe this has happened. I don't understand why God had to take my Dad. Dad was our rock, the one that kept everything/everyone together. He made sure everything was taken care of, he always knew how to make us laugh when we needed it. When we'd have doubts about anything, he was there to make sure we knew how special and proud he was of us. When we needed help on something, if something was broke, we'd ask Dad to help us fix it, not just with things, but what problems. He was always there no matter what. It's like, now... who do we go to now? We needed him! I can't help be think about when I get a serious bf, who's gonna scare him with saying like " Take good care of my daughter, if you hurt her, I'm gonna break your knee caps" or what not or when I get engaged, my fiance wont be able to go up to my Dad and ask permission or how he's not gonna be around to walk me down the isle, or be around to see his first grandchild, and be there and do things grandpa's do. My Dad's Gone! And there's nothing I can do to fix it, change it. This is ridiculous!!! He can't be gone. There's too much still left in life for him to experience. This isn't fair. I hate this. With my Grandma H. or my Grandpa W. you'd expect them to pass on cuz of their really bad health, but with my Dad... it was unexpected. His health wasn't so good, but you wouldn't expect him to pass on. This is stupid!! But yet I'm pass the point of just sitting on the couch or in my bed thinking it's just a dream, because it's not. It's a reality nightmare that no person on earth can fix or wake you up from and tell you it's okay, because for one, it's real and you won't ever be okay again. The pain will get a little bit easier, but it will always be there. It won't be normal again. I just wish I would of been able to of let my Dad know how much I was so very proud of him. I would of told him that I know that he does the best that he can for his family every single day, and I know that it's not easy cause of his health, but that I was so proud of him for not just making sure his family was provided for but for being my Dad. There is a poem I found on the computer that I wrote down in a Fathers Day card last yr. This is what it said...
Happy Fathers Day
A Dad is a person
who is loving and kind,
And often he knows
what you have on your mind.
He's someone who listens,
suggests, and defends.
A dad can be one
of your very best friends!
He's proud of your triumphs,
but when things go wrong,
A dad can be patient
and helpful and strong
In all that you do,
a dad's love plays a part.
There's always a place for him
deep in your heart.
And each year that passes,
you're even more glad,
More grateful and proud
just to call him your dad!
Than I had the Superman symbol underneath, but instead of Superman, it said Superdad. He was a Superman. My Superdad. My Hero! He was the best Dad any family could have had. I know a lot of people say that, but he really was. I couldn't have asked for any man better to be my Dad. There's no man on the entire earth that could even take the place of my Dad even a fraction of a little bit.
There's a locket that I have that I got for my 19th birthday. I am planning on putting a pic of my Dad in there. That way I can always have him close to my heart ALWAYS!!
My Dad and I always had a saying we'd say to each other all the time. He'd say " I love you for an eternity " than I'd say " Love you for two eternities ". I'm gonna miss that so much.
LOVE YOU FOR TWO ETERNITIES DAD!!!!!

Hello There :)
WOW!! Now I really have been slacking on writing on my Blog. Last time I wrote was around Thanksgiving lol.
But even though this is late... I hope all you had a terrific Christmas and New Years! I had a good Christmas. Got a lot of good things. And New Years was pretty fun. Hung out with some ppl. Hadn't had that fun in a while.
On the 4th of January I believe, when our Church Guys came over they brought a girl with them to meet me. Her name was Rachel. She's super nice. But she wanted to see if I'd like to start going to the Singles Ward with her. And I decided to cuz it would be good for me. But two days later she came back with two other girls that are in Relief Society and talked with me. We had a good talk. They was at my house for maybe an hour or so. I liked them. They were also really nice. That friday Rachel had invited me to go to a girl's night with her with some of her friends. That was a lot of fun. It's sad but I've never had a "Girls Night" before. That meant a lot to me that she invited me. Than Sunday she picked me up and we went to Singles Ward together. I enjoyed that :).
I was pretty nervous and pretty much scared to go to the Singles Ward. But it turned out to be just like regular church but with just young ppl. Sad to say, after that Sunday of going... I haven't went since. I really need to. It's just been hard finding a way to get there. Cuz for one I don't know anybody besides Rachel and I'm worried she might get sick of me wanting her to sit by me most of the time. I just feel comfortable around her. Meeting new ppl is hard for me. It's not that I can't met new ppl, it's just I am too shy. I don't wanna feel like I don't belong there, like I'm out of place being there, ya know what I mean? But I know I need to go so I can eventually meet some good friends. Because I really need some good friends in my life. Haven't had those in such a long time. But not only good friends but one that are a good influence on me.
But I hope Rachel and I can start hanging out more. I'd really like that. I need to get out of the house more. I can't really drive long distances cuz we don't have car insurance right now and I'd be in a whole lotta trouble if I got pulled over. That's another reason why I haven't went to Singles Ward for a while. But, hopefully things will turn out being friends with Rachel. Dunno how much fuller my bowl of disappointment can get. It's scary making new friends when all of your old friends treat me the way that they did. I'm always worried that making new friends is just setting myself up for more disappointment.
I'm trying to be positive though. Not everyone is the same, I need to really realize that and keep that in my head. So I'm gonna give Singles Ward a good solid chance and just see what happens. I'm hoping it'll be a good change for me. And plus I'm hoping going to SW that it will not only help me meet new friends but only boost my self confidence up. Cuz I really need that to get boosted up. That would be so nice.
Not too much has happened since I last wrote on here. That's pretty much why I haven't wrote on here very much since November. But maybe things will look up and get interesting and exciting. :)
I'll try and write a lil bit more, if more stuff start happening more lol. Nice bloggin' for ya. See ya. :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!....
Just kidding haha!! I am sure in the Christmas Spirit today though lol. And it's not even December. Must be the snow lol. But I can't wait until next month. Christmas is my favorite Holiday. I am actually listening to Christmas music right now =D. Would be so nice and awesome if I had a special someone to spend Christmas with. That would be the absolutely best present, ever!!
Not too much has been going on. Still looking for a job. Umm... we've had our kitten Spartacus for a lil over a month now. He's getting big lol. He now likes to play with my dad's socks lol. He the other day got a hold of one and was playing with it, so my dad put it in the bedroom so I got one of mine for him but he played with it for a lil bit than went into their bedroom and got my dad's same sock out and was dragging it everywhere by his teeth and playing with it lol. So cute!!
We have been getting a couple guys from our church to come over ever Wednesday for a while to tell my dad about the priesthood and about the church more, than maybe he could get the priesthood eventually. That'd be so neat! But when they come tonight I am gonna ask them if they know of any nice girls my age that they could introduce me to so I can get me some friends. Cuz I'd do it, but I am just too shy. It would help a lot if I had ppl introduce me to ppl. That'd be awesome! Can't believe I've had my license almost three months already. That's weird lol. Never thought I'd be able to really get it. I was/am so happy that I was able to.
Well I hope you all have a good rest of the week. Bye. :)
Not too much has been going on. Still looking for a job. Umm... we've had our kitten Spartacus for a lil over a month now. He's getting big lol. He now likes to play with my dad's socks lol.

Trick or Treat?
Hey guys!
I can't believe it's the end of October already. That is crazy. Than Monday will be November, WOW!! Than before ya know it, it'll be December lol.
I just wanted to write you guys a quick blog and hope you all have a Sp00ky Fun Night Tonight. Too bad we can't celebrate it on Sunday which is really Halloween. That sucks. But most of us will anyway haha. Just no Trick or Treat tomorrow.
Did you guys here about that law the government is trying to pass about Trick or Treating? Yeah, they are trying to pass a law where if you get caught over the age of 12 Trick or Treating, you get fined $100. That is so RIDICULOUS and STUPID!!! I feel like, would people rather have kids over the age of 12 Trick or Treating, or causing problems and getting into trouble on Halloween? And the government has got more worse problems to fix than worrying if that kid over there is at the appropriate Trick or Treating age. It's one day a year to go house to house for candy. It's ONE day, not like every weekend or something. NOT THAT BIG OF DEAL, SO STOP YOUR COMPLAINING ALREADY!!!!!!! I mean, so what if kids over the age of 12 want to go Trick or Treating? It's fun and gives kids something to do. In my opinion, I see nothing wrong with it.
But anyways, hope you all have a really nice time tonight. And be careful. :)
Happy (pre) Halloween!! :)

New Kitty :)
Sorry I haven't been on here for a long time. There just hasn't been much happening to write about.
I can't believe it's October already! That is crazy. Seems like it was just the first part of July lol. But I love October, and Halloween!! Halloween is one of my favorite Holidays. I love the whole dressing up and fixing up your house all Halloweeny lol. Hopefully we will be able to this year.
Than before ya know it, it'll be December. I actually turn 20 on the 12th of December. I'm excited. I am hoping that me turning 20 will be so much better than me being in my teens. I can't wait to not be a teen anymore. Than I can't wait for Christmas. Christmas is my absolute favorite Holiday!! It's just so beautiful and the Christmas Spirit is the BEST!! And seeing all the pretty houses all decorated all awesome looking with lights and stuff and Christmas Trees.
We got a new kitten two days ago. First I seen it lost by a fence meowing. I felt bad but I knew I couldn't do anything because my dad wouldn't let me keep it. So I just left. But than the next morning my dad and mom was outside and my dad seen that kitten underneath our ramp hiding from our adult cats all scared. So my dad was trying to get it, he was actually chasing it all over the yard trying to get it, haha. But once they got it they gave it some milk and got it all warmed up. That by surprise, my dad decides to keep it. WOW! Never, EVER thought he would do that. But he wanted it for him so he could have a cat of his own. So that is pretty cool. The kitten is a boy and is orange and white. He's so cute! Once he got comfortable being here, he would start chasing after your feet when you are walking to play with them haha. And than when he is tired and you are holding him, he will climb up to one of your shoulders and sleep on one lol. It's really cute. I think he is only like 6 or 7 weeks old. We are having it be an indoor kitten for a while. Probably clear through winter. Cuz I don't want him being outside in the cold and than get run off by the older cats.
But my dad ended up naming him Spartacus lol. After that tv series called Spartacus. Spartacus is super smart. The day we got him, that night...when I showed him how to use the litter box, he learned so quickly and used it. It was so neat haha. Almost like having your child use the potty the first time LOL. He is sure a hyper kitty when he isn't tired, or hungry lol.
Well, guess I will end this now and I will try and post more on here more often. Thanks for reading and you all have a good day. :)

Job Hunting
Hey guys,
Haven't wrote here in a lil while. Nothing been going on to write about lol.
But after I got my license, like three or so days later I sent in my resume to Temple View Lodge place to clean rooms and I was all excited because they told me I have an interview. But the day of the interview I found out that the position wasn't only for cleaning, it was for being at the front desk too. And I am not interested in doing that and I kind have phone fear with ppl I don't know lol. So I canceled it. I am still looking for a job. Because I wanna do something that I know for sure that I can do and that I won't mess it up. Know what I mean? So until I am able to find a job, I am gonna babysit or something than I can get at least some kind of money.
Boy! This week has been not good for my family. First my brother ends up having my parents take him to the ER, because he had a bad pain in his kidney area and had to go check it out and they did test and xrays and stuff on him. After a few hours they figure it's just Kidney Stones. Hope it's just that. But than yesterday, my dad ends up needing to go to the hospital because he got a bad pain in his leg. He thought maybe he was getting heart problems or maybe a blood clot. But it had something to do with his blood pressure and the blood veins in his feet because of his smoking, or something like that. So they gave him some meds to help. He needs to just quit smoking. He'd feel a lot better.
The first part of this week, I met a guy and he was really cute and was in the army. He worked on the mechanic stuff. But anyways, we seemed to hit it off the first day we met but after, not so much. But oh well, there is other guys out there. I don't even think soldier boy was LDS. And I really want someone who is LDS. Because I want someone who can take me to the Temple. That is the most important thing to me right now. I won't change that for anyone.
I wanna get married in the Manti Temple. I think that Temple is just so beautiful and it looks so awesome sitting up on the hill. I think that's one of the reasons it looks pretty.
But yeah, I want someone who is LDS, because for one, to marry in the Temple and two, so our standards/morals and values are the same. And I know how I'll know if someone is the one for me... he'll be the person that I wanna be a better person for and just be the best person I possibly can be. And another is if I spend time with him, when I get home... I am smiling a lot and can't stop lol. Hopefully I'll met that man some day. Even though the waiting is tough and rocky, when I finally meet him, it will all be worth it! :)

License!
I got my license, YAY!!! I am so happy. I had the test Friday and I only missed two which added up to 8pts that I missed. And to be honest, I think I did the best driving out of the other three drivers that was with. But since the DMV wasn't open on friday, I've had to wait until tomorrow to go pick my license up. I just can't believe I have finally gotten it. I never really thought I'd be able to. And what got me through it all was confidence. Of course I was nervous the first couple days than I finally convinced myself that I could do it and so did my mom.
Now either this week or the one after I am gonna start looking for a job. This whole thing is gonna be awesome. I finally feel like a 19 yr old. Even though once I have a job I will probably get sick of it maybe and just not wanna go but I'll love it cuz I am actually experiencing what others my age do and that's why I'll like it cuz I'll feel like I am actually up to the level as everyone else is my
I've been painting the kitchen all afternoon today. I love painting but after a while its hard work. Probably the week, my mom and I is gonna finish it up and start painting the hallway and do some other cleaning. Maybe even get the kitchen organized lol. Than we will have to work on getting other rooms organized too. That's one thing I hate about moving is trying to get everything back to the way it was and put things where they belong and trying to find things that you boxed up lol.
Can't believe that in a little less than 4 months, I'll be 20. That is CRAZZY!! Seems not too long ago I was just barely turning 13 lol. Now I'll be outta my teens. Too be honest I actually can't wait to be outta my teens. Most of my teen yrs wasn't too good and I am hoping that my early 20s and so forth will be waay better!
Can't wait until I can get my car fix. I love my car. The problem is that when I would drive it, it would just quit on me. And I don't wanna be driving it around and it quits on the freeway or something. That would be scary and could cause and accident. And than the car has a putt putt sound to it like it's gonna kill. So once I get a job I am gonna take it in and ask them to just do an all over check and fix whatever needs to be fixed. Hopefully it won't cost a whole bunch. Than after I get my car fixed than I am gonna get new tail lights and a new stereo. My brother said he might help me with the lights and when he gets a new stereo he will give me his and I love his, it's really nice.
Well thanks for reading. I'll write again soon. =)

A Good Day!
Well, I had a good day today!! I went driving for my last day for the Behind the Wheel and I did pretty awesome this time. I am VERY proud of myself. Than after the boy drove, we picked up another girl at wal-mart lol and she was kinda bad haha. The teacher was all like, oh you're doing very well lol, umm...I don't think so but whatever you say lol. But today was my best day driving with him. I felt really good with how it went. And than friday is the test. Yay!! Oh and when we first started he asked for my learners permit to write down the number and I coulda sworn he never gave it back to me. And so today I asked him for it back and he's all like "I gave it back to you, I don't keep them." So I was thinking " Oh great, he just lost my learners permit, now I gotta go get a new one tomorrow." But when I got home I looked in my wallet and it was there. I feel SO DUMB!! I don't know whats wrong with me, I honestly don't remember him giving it back to me. Maybe it's all the stress of wanting to get my license so bad that's messing with my memory lol.
Oh, today I got my Personalized Autographed Poster and CD from the band Soletta. That made my day. It's such a good CD. I love it. They are gonna be in Utah in Sept. I am thinking since I will have my license by than that I will go up to it. I kinda don't wanna go by myself so I am gonna try and find someone who wants to go with me. That would be pretty fun. It's pretty cheap too. I think it's only like $5 to get in. So that's pretty cool. So if anyone wants to go, let me know and I will pick you up. I think it's on the 15th of Sept in SLC or the 16th in St George. I'd rather go to the SLC one.
Last night I couldn't stop thinking about Jake. I know it's been 8 months and it wasn't that big of deal but, it was to me. It just sucks how things went. If I could redo that day, I definitely would. I feel so stupid for feeling the way I do but even though we only knew each other for 30 mins and I got a kiss from him, twice lol....I felt something. There was like chemistry between us. He was just so nice and a gentleman and asking a lot of questions about me, like do I have a boyfriend and how come I didn't and so and so. I think it's just me though cuz obviously he doesn't feel the same lol. But I think I have two reasons why he won't talk to me. Cuz the business he was in on getting people to buy magazines was a faud cuz I gave him money for one and I never saw it. Or he's just a player. Or both lol. But I think once I find another decent guy I will be totally over this Jake dude lol. So bring on the gorgeous guys!! Haha, =D.
Well, thanks for reading. I will update soon. Have a good day you guys. =)

Yesterday was Friday the 13th, and guess what? My driver's teacher called and canceled our last day of driving until Monday lol. That is ironic lol. So we are gonna just go Monday than hopefully the test will be Tuesday. I'm kinda disappointed since I wanted all this to be over with, but than I am glad so I can practice more with my mom so I know for sure that I will pass. I think I'll be alright though :). Can't wait until I get my license though, that will be so awesome!
