2 Down and 2 To Go


I just finished the 2nd one. I think it was a lot better than the 1st. I loved the 1st one too but this was a little more intense for me. This one I finished in less than a week. I can't believe how much I am loving these books.Now I am going to start this one with a lot of anticipation. I can't wait to see what happens next. I have no doubt that it wont be just as good if not better.
For Kalah...

You leave and it finally storms. Thanks for sending the rain down here from Oregon. Hopefully you can see it coming down! It rained for a good 45 mintues on Monday afternoon. It was about time we saw some rain here.

The First Female President

My little sister, Tarin, is running for Student Body President. I am so excited for her. I can't wait to find out how she does. The election is still 2 weeks away but her campaign posters are due tomorrow. I helped her make them today. It's been a long time since I got to do something crafty like that so we had a fun making them. Thanks to a family friend who let us borrow her Cricket machine it was so much easier. I am addicted to the Cricket. I know if I had one I probably wouldn't use it that much but it still would be fun to have. It just made life so much easier instead of having to cut them out. We loved how they turned out. We are hoping that they are not too girly to where they wont attract the boys' attention. We shall see. I can't wait to see how she does. Good Luck T!!


Umm...GROSS!
Ok so this is a really random post. I rarely turn my ceiling fan off in my bedroom. I actually couldn't tell you the last time that was. But anyway...the old fan that was in my room was not bright enough for my room. After 6 years I am finally changing it. When I turned off my old fan today I was so GROSSED out. Check this out:
Yes...that is a layer, a very thick layer, of dust. This is the new fan. I plan on cleaning this one a lot more often. It's a lot faster and a lot brighter. It's was a good change.
Waxing Party #2

On Friday night, my Aunt Laurie hosted a waxing party. We had an awesome turn out. I waxed 23 people and only 3 were family. I was so excited to meet new people and hand out my cards. The girls that attended thought it was the greatest idea ever. (thanks Jodie) They all had a blast. I seem to be getting more organized party after party. I set it all up in our downstairs bedroom.
My aunt had a portable massage table that I used. That turned out to be very helpful after the 3rd person. I just went down the list one by one and ended up doing a total of:
11 Eyebrows
7 Lips
4 Chins
1 set of cheeks
2 Noses
4 sets of legs
1 Bikini
all in 4 hours. I can't wait to do it again. My mom is hosting one in about 6 weeks for her and her friends. I will have more "fun" pictures then. Maybe some leg and brows?!? I just took the nose ones of my family because I wasn't really comfortable asking strangers to take pictures of them being waxed. I didn't want to creep out potential clients.

1 Down and 3 to Go!!

Thanks to the Jen I have decided to read The Twilight Saga. My mom got me the first one and the Sedillo's got me the last 3 for my birthday. I just got finished with the first one...
I finished it in about a week. I thought it was really good. When and if I read, I normally read autobiographies so to read this a little different. Surprisingly, I have enjoyed it. Jen said after 20 pages I would be hooked and I was. Now I am on to the second one...

I'm glad I got all 4 though. That way I can just move right into the next one and not have to wait.

Way Overdue

So I'm way overdue for a update so here it goes:
My Birthday: I turned 21 on Monday the 25th. We had breakfast on Sunday morning with all of my family at the Omelet House. Service was horrible but it turned out to be a good time still. On my birthday the daycare kids threw me a little party. My mom had one more present for me to open so we opened presents, sang happy birthday, and had brownies.
I went out with Josh and our friend Eric that night. Anytime with those 2 is a lot of fun. Tarin did my hair. It looked so good.
Thursday I went out with some girlfriends to Stoney's. I rode the bull and we line danced.
Friday I went with my Mom, Aunt Laurie, Aunt LeAnn, and Uncle Nick to play bingo. I know it's weird for someone young to want to play but I my aunts promised that when I turned 21 we would go. It was a a good time. They even announced my birthday in front of the whole Bingo Parlor. Pretty embarrassing. That concluded my birthday week.

Barry Manilow: My friend Nicole got tickets for free and asked if I wanted to go. I had mixed emotions about going because I knew that he was a legend but his constant smile and skinny legs creeps me out. The show ended up being really good. He is a good singer and a very good entertainer.

My Mom's Birthday: Her birthday was yesterday but we started the birthday week(end) on Friday. Some of her friends meet up with us after Bingo for dinner. Then on Saturday my Dad treated her to a pedicure and lunch. Yesterday, we had the family over for lunch and cake. All of which was very good. You know your a true mom when you ask for a deep freeze and a kitchen strainer for your birthday. My sisters and I ended up getting her a purse. She is a huge purse fanatic so I thought that would be perfect. I had it made through Costco. (courtesy of Jen's photos). She already got compliments on it.
