Traveling

I new when the month of January was going to hit that I would be traveling most of this month, but what I didn't realize is that at the end of all this traveling I would miss Utah, my family, and my friends. I finally realized that I enjoy having time to myself to spend with family or friends and that staying in a hotel is ok, and wonderful if they have nice beds.

Over this past month I have traveled to Tampa, Florida, Long Beach, California; the CHA show in California, then back to Tampa, Florida for HSN stuff. Then in between the traveling I have been working so hard at home and at work prepping for training of the yudu, getting ready for shows, and prepping for Sundance with Mark Montano. I can defiantly say that this month has been full of surprises and alot has been happening.

Some of my fun memories of this crazy month are:

-- Getting to know and spending time with Mark Montano.
We've become BFF's (Best Friends Forever-See Pic)
--Spending time with Mike's wife and Tonya at the Sundance event (Green Lodge).
--Spending time with Halen at Sundance (couldn't have done this event without you)
--Spending time with the Hosts HSN training them on the Yudu and Yourstory
--Helping out with the Live HSN Yudu shoot.
--Demoing the Yudu at CHA and being video
--The CHA experience all together (I enjoyed getting to know a bunch of people better in the company at this show)
--Going to dinner with Mark and hanging out at the lounge
--Hanging with Mark at the Provo Craft booth at CHA-
--Spending time with Mike & Lori at the ISS Show (I finally understand what all the fuss is about Provo Craft's Yudu is about- Its amazing how Provo Craft simplified the whole silk screen process)

Memories I was sad about
--missing Ella (my dog) have her puppies (thanks Jen)
puppies (5 girls) their names are: Co, Chloe, Oreo, Prada, Kate
boy puppies (1) name is: Devan
--saying good buy to Mark
--leaving the warm weather in Florida
--missing teaching my primary lessons (I missed my kids)
--missed seeing Halen every day at work.


As much as I was excited to do all this traveling I am very glad to be home.

New Years 2009

Whats the best way to ring in the News Years if you can't be in Vegas? I would say hanging with friends. That's exactly what I am doing, hanging here at the house watching the TV with Raina, Jay, Scotty, and Emily. We are going to watch the ball drop in New York- someday i would like to go to New York and see it live.

Christmas 2008

For Christmas I went home to hang out with Mom and Dad in Blanding. It was great to drive down with JB, the drive is so long but when you are with someone else time flies by so fast. Brad, Megan, & Kaven were there and it was great to watch Kaven open his Christmas presents. All he cared about was the box and the wrapping paper. Me and JB drove down the day before Christmas- thank goodness for that because it snowed all night long and the following day. The next day we watch Brad and Megan unwrap their presents to get on the road, then the rest of us at breakfast then finished unwrapping presents. The next day we went and played on the snowmobiling machines: I only lasted 5 min then I got on the four wheelers and enjoyed that a lot more. Check out my pics.

Christmas Time

I love the month of December not only because its my birthday, but because it rejuvenates my spirit and boosts my energy. This month builds me up to give service through out the whole year. I enjoy spending time with family and loved ones, and even great to spend time with friends. I love looking for the just the right gift, and then seeing their face as they open the present. Its just a joy to buy things for others, knowing that you are giving them such a simple joy. There are so many things that I love about Christmas, spending time with my dogs, and watching Christmas movies with my roommates. AH! Christmas is so good for the spirit! I love the Christmas caroling, decorating the tree and house with lights, and putting my my Christmas village. I love the giving spirit that comes with this month, but most of all I love that we celebrate the Savior's birthday. Its good for the soul to remember our Savior and to try to be like him. If you are not in the Christmas mood, do something for someone else and soon your mood with change.

Thanksgiving Morning

Thanksgiving morning was beautiful. It had just rained and the view was georgous. I quickly grabbed my camera and took some photos of the dew drops on the leaves. I love the smell of rain after a rainshower. The world is wonderful and fresh.

Thanksgiving was wonderful, as I spent it with my sister and her family. The kids were a joy to be around and the three dogs. My sister did a wonderful job on dinner and the turkey was perfect. I was greatful to spend my day with my sister and her family. Thank You, Tammi and Ken.
