Life

Hey everyone. It's been a while. Just wanted to let all of you know that things are going really well right now. I got a new position at work. It's been a little stressful, but It's been a good thing. I have a boyfriend. His name is Casey, and he's amazing. I haven't had a boyfriend in quit a while, but I'm really enjoying it. It's been an experience trying to juggle work, and friends, and family and him. Lol, but I'm getting the hang of it. I couldn't be happier. I know I need to update pics, but I haven't had time to take any. But I will try and get on it!

Heart, We Will Forget Him!

Heart, we will forget him!
You an I, tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.

When you have done, pray tell me
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you're lagging.
I may remember him!

- Emily Dickinson

Proud of My Broken Heart

Proud of my broken heart since thou didst break it,
Proud of the pain I did not feel till thee,
Proud of my night since thou with moons dost slake it,
Not to partake thy passion, my humility.

- Emily Dickinson

The Kiss

I hoped that he would love me,
And he has kissed my mouth,
But I am like a stricken bird
That cannot reach the south.

For though I know he loves me,
To-night my heart is sad;
His kiss was not so wonderful
As all the dreams I had.

- Sara Teasdale

Hanah's cheer

On Saturday I got a txt from Bree. Her sister Hanah was having a cheer competition at Riverton High. I was intrigued. I don't normally like cheerleading, but sense this was Hanah, and at my old high school....and I was heading to Riverton that night anyway....I went. It was a lot of fun. Let's be honest, I usually find any excuse to see Bree, sense we live so far away. So how could I resist. Hanah's Squad got 2nd place. I was so proud of her!

So as you all know, yesterday was the superbowl. My dad and his neighbor Tom always have a superbowl party. there is a lot of food, and my dad makes his famous buffalo wings. And they were just as hot this year as they are every year. They were delicious. Trinny and Matt and baby Atti was there to spend it with us. It was very fun. And the Steelers won! woo hoo!!!

Aw, Kayla, daddy and Atticus


Me and Trinny and Atti


Oh yea....we are so cool!



Matt and Atti

GO STEELERS!


Atti and his daddy


YAY STEELERS!!!!

Kristi's funeral

My aunt Kristi's funeral was today. It was so beautiful and yet emotional. I'm grateful that the sun was shinning today and that my whole family got to be there to celebrate Kristi's life. I don't have a lot to say about it. But I did want to post some pictures of the funeral.

In loving memory of Kristi

So as some of you might know my aunt Kristi passed away on Tuesday 1/13/09 after battling 7 1/2 years of cancer. She had been doing great with the cancer for almost 2 years, but last November she got news that it had come back, and had spread to her lungs, liver, and paincruis. She was told by the doctors that she had about 9 months to live in December. But her battle was short lived. I am very grateful to have gotten to say goodbye and to have closure with her passing. I couldn't have asked for a more peaceful way for her to go, surrounded by her family. Kristi has two kids. Carson 8, and Courtney 12. They are doing very well. She will be extremely missed. You will be able to find her obituary at the following link http://www.meaningfulfunerals.net/fh/obituaries/obituary.cfm?o_id=315792&fh_id=10812&s_id=C5BF681AF1DB70502B5D8F2BDA6AC76D.

ChRiStMaS!!!!!

So I had a really great Christmas. All I wanted was to just be with family. And I got that. Christmas Eve night I went to my aunt Teresa's for our annual Hawaiian Christmas Eve. My dad and Kayla couldn't come, because they went to Kayla's parents house. But everyone else was pretty much there. We had dinner, and played with the kids. Then got ready for our program. Complete with scripture reading and Christmas carols. Not just any Christmas carols, these are also Hawaiian Christmas carols. Yes you heard right. My family is from Hawaii, so we have a little twist in our Christmas. It was awesome. After that I made my way to Kayla's parents house. They were so sweet, and even gave me a present. :) I then went to my dad's and started to wrap all of my presents to everyone, which I hate doing.

Me and Kathryn, entertaining ourselves before dinner.





Never leave us girls to entertain ourselves. lol

Kathryn was helping Annie lead away in a manger.

This is how Chris felt about the song


Ben...trying to stay focused during the program.


Apparently Ryan was sleepy. Good thing Teresa and Mckay were paying attention


My wonderful aunt Teresa



My grandpa Wyman.




Christmas morning was awesome. My parents woke me up at 8am...eh...I'm not a morning person, nor do I like being woken up, but it was ok. We just spent time unwrapping presents and then ate some breakfast, then played wii, that my dad got for Christmas.


My dad really liked his hat that was in his stocking.



Kayla loved her new skiis!!!


My dad a big freaking book! He looked like a little boy.


Kayla got an ipod!


My dad plays racketball. And apparently needed a new racket.



And the wii!!!! My dad was so excited!


Kayla beating my dad at boxing. lol classic moment.



Me, entertaining myself while the 'children' played.



My dad won! lol



I then made my way to Trin's moms house for Christmas, and to say hi. I then just spent the rest of the day at my apt (the weather was too bad to go anywhere else), and then around 8 I went to my cousins Kathryn's house and watched Kung Fu Panda. Yes that's right. We are so cool like that. lol.


Trin, trying to get Atticus to look at me. He's such a daddy's boy

Family pic. Well sorta, Matt is paying attention, but Atticus is pre occupied and Trin isn't even looking. lol. I love the holidays!
