Really???

ok... sooo all I blog about is my family and the ABC's Bachelorette! Call me crazy but these are two of my favorite things and the two things I really live for! I know...you don't have to tell me...I'm a nerd! However, let's just skip all that and get to this post! I LOVE this stinkin' show! I get so into it! And tonight are you kidding me?! Wes! Why do we girls not get it!? How can we not see through his crap!? I mean obviously we (the viewers) see it...thank you editing, but if we were dating him...we would not see it completely! So...I will try not to bag on Jillian too much, she's a little blinded by his singing and whatever country good looks he's into. But really he's not that cute...tonight amongst those other 3 classy seriously good looking MEN..not boys...Wes looked a little hick trashy to me! And HELLO can we please talk about Ed! He has been one of my favorites from day one...a little shy, reserved, yet mature, into her, and has that side flirty smile that just makes you melt! SOOO glad he is back in the picture! I say the bottom three are Reid, Kip and Ed...she'll see through Wes this week...how long can you lie...I mean really! ? And although I love Kip since he's from my home town and a good guy and the whole package...I think the last one standing is going to be Ed. They have a chemistry that she doesn't have with any other guy. They've "been through tough times " :) as much as you can in a 6 week period show...and "gotten back together"...:) and now it's all about "their true feelings and where they want their future to go"! Sorry I'm totally cheesy...but I am a sucker for love and romance! Once again I love this show. I feel for Jillian, I think she wants true love but is afraid of what that means and she is used to getting hurt so it's a big change to allow someone to really love you truely and that's why she still has Wes there...it's what she is used to. Now, the boys who left....Micheal and Jesse...SAD. That is all I have to say there! SAD! Poor Micheal he fell hard and well Jesse just got cheated, it's ridiculous...once again...REALLY WES?! Ok...I'm done! I promise to post about my adventures here in California soon....it's late and 2 little boys will be waking up sooner than I am ever ready for! Until the next dramatic rose ceremony.....

Happy Father's day

Dad, I love you! Happy Father's Day! xoxox~

Happy Birthday Harmony!

Today is my niece Harmony's birthday! Harmony is one of the sweetest girls. She loves to be around everyone and always makes you feel special when you are around. She's 8 today but if you met her you would think she is at least 12, she is very mature and can hold up her end of the conversation just as well as the rest of us. There is never a dull moment with Harmony! :) We love her and couldn't be happier that she is a part of our family! Few things I love about Harmony: She gives the BEST hugs! She is ALWAYS smiling and wanting to be a part of everything you do, she is a great helper and good at everything she does, she is funny and sweet and loves her family!!! I love you Harmony! Happy Birthday! This will be a great year for you!!!!! Love, Aunt Nat

Change

Change is good. I've decided that I am one who needs change often. It's healthy! At least for me! :) I am ready for this next month in California to help look after Benny and Laura's boys. I have realized that when I have a chance to be busy and helping I am happiest. Thank goodness there are a lot of opportunities to serve if you just look for them. Not only is service good, but just doing something different any chance I can get. Being at this stage in my life where I have the chance to learn each day what I enjoy or don't enjoy is nice. I can look at this time in life as lonely, boring, uneventful or I can see it as fun, a chance to explore life, and free! So I've recently decided to take the latter approach! Don't get me wrong....those who know me know I'd love to be at home being a mom and doing mom things...but that not being the case I'm going to ENJOY being me, whatever that includes at the moment. I went to a fireside at my mission presidents home last night. Its been almost 3 years since I returned home and I realize that I have been holding back WAY too much! He said something last night about being a "wall watcher" (meaning someone who doesn't make choices because of fear of the unknown and staying safely on the ground) I will be the first to say I have definitely turned into a wall watcher! What the heck, I DON"T want to be a "wall watcher!" So although it may take time I am realizing that the only way to do this is by creating change! So...here I go! I hope it will be a good adventure and a successful road! I am aware that change is exciting at first but then I have to continue to do something with that change to make it worth while~ and there's something about putting it out on the world wide web that makes me feel accountable!

Road Trip

Mom and I took our first road trip home to California together to see all the kiddos. We had a blast and didn't stop until we arrived back in good ol' Utah. Here are a few pictures from our adventures!
