Things that are LAME

Dedra

That is all.

15 years ago

15 years ago Dedra woke me up at O'dark:30 in the morning. She married so weirdo. I was 11. I was mad at him for taking my sister away. I forgive him.

Happy Anniversary Dedra and Ken. You guys don't stink. You are nerds though.

The last couple of days

Have been awesome!

The evening of June 1st

Dad, Dedra and I went and did baptisms for the dead. Dedra hadn't done that in 20 years. It was awesome to be able to do that with them.

The morning of June 2nd

Dedra ironed my dress.
I curled my hair.
Dad packed his bag.

We went to the Temple. It was amazing. Dad, Dedra and River were there for me. It was wonderful. After our session we were able to be do a sealing session! So within a 19 hour period I was able to do everything possible from Bapism-Sealings. It was amazing! And to end it all they let Dedra and I change in the bridal room! We ate cookies. It was awesome.

River couldn't make it to lunch but Spencer could. It was nice to have him with us. My high for the 2nd was when we picked up Spencer. I went up stairs to get him. He met me on the little landing. He put his arms around me. He kissed me. Then he told me how proud he is of me. I love him so much.

June 3rd

I worked. That was lame. My family went home. They are lame! (I mean that with all the love in my heart.) {this is a secret message to Dedra. You poop your pants. That's a compliment.}

Spencer invited me over for dinner. It was yummy. I spent most of the evening sitting next to Spencer in his room as he is resting. I love being able to just sit and hold his hand. It makes me happy. He is always the best part of my day. The saying goodbye almost
Brings me to tears everyday. The seeing him is always worth it though.

I am so thankful for the last few days. It has been amazing and very eye opening. I can't wait to go back to the Temple. It's such an amazing place.

My pictures are Spencer sleeping and one of him as an old man. This was the site I wanted to wake up to for the rest of my life but don't get to. He was supposed to grow old with me. I looked forward to us being grandparents. I will miss him. I love him.

The Adventures of Arded!

A picture is worth a thousand words. I'd love to hear yours.

The things that are

This is the first blog post in a long time. It's amazing him the lack of Internet can cut you off from so many thing. 

We'll do a good news minute:

*My new job is amazing. I love it a lot. I enjoy most of my coworkers. The one I don't enjoy doesn't bug as much anymore and we team sell really well together. 

*Dedra was in town for a couple of weeks. It was fun. We played, stalked Donny Osmond and even made a quick trip to Vegas. 

*I am all settled into my apartment. It's nice to feel like an adult. There comes a time when you out grow having roommates. So until a get married I don't plan on living with anyone

*I am currently listening to Spencer play the piano. That is one of my most favorite things. 

*Even though Craig isn't my favorite person a still work there sometimes. It's just random and when I want to show up. It's nice to have the tips and the play money.

That was a fun minute. 

Fun stories...
Spencer and I went to SLC to get my couch. It's spectacular! So my friend that we got it from didn't find a date for when we went to dinner. Spencer had a double date of the best kind. 1 boy 2 girls. 

The Kid at work I don't enjoy is Ken. I call him Kennerd. We race in sales. He's winning right now but I'm closer to my goal than he us to his. Muhahaha!!!

Things are going well for me. I'm enjoying being back in Provo. I enjoy being so close to Spencer. I am happy where I am in life for the moment. 

You asked for it!!!

I just got off the phone with Dedra. She told me to update my blog. Well Dedra, you asked for it!

Dedra, STOP BOSSING ME! You Know this is what I do when you force me to update. Why do you do this to yourself? Seriously! Muhahaha!

Tuesday Story - Time Out

I just got a text from my very nice and not bossy sister Dedra. (SHE IS BOSSY!!!) She said I needed to do my Tuesday story! Well I have one for you.

So after Spencer's class he came over. We were listening to music as he worked on the puzzle and I played games on his phone. Spencer decided to start changeling words to the song. He stated adding the word "booger" to River of Dreams by: Billy Joel. I find that word to be one of the grossed words EVER! I get up and walk to my room. I was shunning Spencer for being rotten! He got up turned the light off in my room and closed the door as he said "You're in time out young lady." I said "WHAT!" as I followed him. He laughed and said "I knew that would get you out." I couldn't believe I was played so easily! RUDE! 

I walk back in my room and call my sister. I tell her what had just taken place. We both laugh. We talk for a bit and she reminded me of something I'd done before. We then put a slight twist. Haha. I get up and close my door. I quickly change my clothes! I put in leggings, my tutu, a crown, and 2 feathered boas! I put my hair in pig tails. I grabbed the toys that I let Sophie play with then she's here and set them up to start playing. 

After a few minutes of my door being closed Spencer knocks. The door opens and he's standing in the door way. I look up from my toys and say "Can I be out of time out now?" He smiles and says "No." as he starts to close my door. It was to funny!!!

I am out of time out now! I changed my clothes back and am now writing my story.

That is my Tuesday story. Haha

Memory Monday - The Candy

There are so many things I could write about the candy. I could tell you how much we hated it. I could tell you that we missed school for it. I could tell you how the smell of sugar in the air as i was walking home from the bus stop made me walk slower. I could tell you how the thought of Saturday made me Ill. 
I could also tell you that the song 9-5 by Dolly Parton warms my heart and makes me laugh. I could tell you that I am close with my siblings because we worked long hours together. We would laugh so hard we would cry. We would cry from exhaustion til we would laugh. As much as we hated the candy, we have some amazing memories because of it.

I was 7 the first time I got to ride in a police car and it wasn't the last time. 
The security guards at several outlet malls have been toyed with. We were sneaky and they could never find us but we always knew right where that were. That's called team work. We have been kicked out of stores and towns by frustrated people that couldn't believe that the mouthy 10 year old wasn't intimidated and would still look them in the eyes. I have walked the main street of every major town in Washington by the time I was 10. How many people can say that?

One of our selling trips/ vacations we drove to Utah. I was 5. We were at the BYU bookstore. I think Heather was supposed to be watching me. I was bored and started walking to the car the way we came in. I was standing at the drop off in front of the Wilk. I decided I wanted to try directing traffic. In the mind of a 5 year old I was going great! The cars were listening to me and there were no accidents. I was doing my job right. Haha. Mom was relieved and ANGREY when she found me. I was in huge amounts of trouble!

Another time we were leaving early on a Saturday morning. Mom was rushing us because we were going far and had to be there between 9 and 10. Once we got there and we are getting teams set and routs picked I tell Mom I forgot my shoes. We were in such a rush and I didn't even notice til we got there... She wasn't happy... Hahaha

When I was 7 I got my ears pierced. We were coming to the end of the selling day ish and Dedra thought I should get my ears done. The first place we went to the lady had 15 piercings in each ear. I was so scared that I worked myself up to a vomit. I was crying and couldn't breathe. It was bad. We left. The second place an old mean grandma lady sat me down, told me I wasn't allowed to cry and took a pen to color on my ear lobes. She drew a dot on each of my ears and checked if they were even. She then showed me the GUN and said I had to hold still. Two painful quick pinches later I had pierced ears. Adam told me they were ugly and I had to take them out. I didn't listen. 

One of my most favorite stories. I was 8 or 9 I think. I had been talking in a british accent all afternoon. Some lady in a flower shop said my accent was amazing and asked where I was from. I dropped the accent and said "Bremerton" Dedra was so embarrassed! Hahaha 

That's my Memory Monday for this week.

Squaw no post'um!

Dedra said that because I now have a way to post often that I am now being held to a higher standard... HA! Did you not read my last post? My last post was nothing but fluff from a mind not functioning. There was no substance and I sounded like an airhead. I am not going to post anymore unless I have something of note or I have a story that I want to share. There will be the random Memory Monday or Good Idea Bad Idea. 

Or better yet!!! So for all you bossy people that keep telling me to post more, here's the deal. I'll post again when Spencer posts next! So until then, Squaw no post'um! 

Things I shouldn't do...

So I am a fan of ramblings and randomness. The two go hand in hand. I happen to be suffering from sleep depravation and feel the need to ramble about random nothingness. This is something I should never do! Haha Other things I shouldn't do are:

1. Write things on my blog with out proof reading. I say stupid things or I have many typos... I should work on that. I will go back sometimes and reread the things I write... oh how I sound like an airhead!

2. Swear at my boss. I have yet to do this. I would like to do this. I have to remind myself daily that I need this job. That I can't burn this bridge until I have crossed another. I am working on this.

3. Murder my roommates. My Mom taught me to clean up after myself. Is it really that hard to take out the trash? The dishes needed help getting dirty. They need help getting clean too! Seriously! Spencer helps me more than the people I live with! He is my sanity. If it weren't for him I'd have killed roommates long ago.


So my Tuesday story... Aren't you so excited!

I don't have one! Oh wait... I was so out of it today. It was 20 minutes til closing and I was sort of cleaning up... Ish. I had just rinsed my combs and turned to get a towel. Me being unaware as I was of everything going on around me turned the wrong way and walked into the doorway of the break room. Luckily no one saw this. (so naturally I feel the need to post it on my blog...) I felt like such a dork. Yet sadly that was the high light of work until Spencer showed up.

I cut Spencer's hair today. That made me happy.

I made BBQ chicken for dinner.

I still haven't folded my laundry. I don't think that will happen tomorrow either. 

I am in the 113 section of D&C in my personal study. 

I have a crazy plan I want to put into motion. I don't think Mom would love this plan. (I LOVE THIS PLAN) I would like to hear what she would tell me... 

I really have nothing to say. I am just typing what ever comes to mind.... and right now my mind isn't working so this post is a special treat!

Dedra, make me a treat! 

My evening... Ken this is for you!

So I called Dedra because I wanted to tell her that I made bread for the first time. Spencer and I made dinner for his family. His parents are out if town this weekend. 

We made pork roast, mashed potatoes, green beans and dinner rolls from scratch. It was so good! It was fun.  It was all of his siblings, Chelsea and me. We are a fun group.

We made cookies too. Spencer, Chris and I were in the kitchen cleaning up and making new messes while everyone else was watching a movie. :) End result was chocolate chip cookies and a clean kitchen. 

So back to Dedra... She didn't answer her phone when I called her. I then called my dad to tell him of Spencer and I and out bread making adventure! (Neither one of us had ever made bread. He had the leg up because at least he'd seen his mom make bread. My Mom never did.) Dedra then calls me 3 times when I was talking to my dad! RUDE!

One if the times that she called she let her husband leave me a 4 minute long voicemail message. If you have ever called my phone and gotten my voicemail you know that I HATE voicemails! I listened to the whole thing. Ken sang me Christmas carols and kept making sounds like things were exploding! My favorite part was that every time he said "BANG" or "BOOM" Dedra would giggle in the back ground! 

I love Dedra and Ken very much. They are both TURDS!!! I wouldn't change them for the world!

Di-be-bi-dra

This is a blog just for Dedra. Dedra is my sister. I love her. She is a turd. She is a crazy awesome sewer. She has 4 kids. She has one husband... So maybe 5 kids... She is an awesome sister.

Some of my favorite times with her are from when I was younger and didn't know she hated me. We are 8 years apart and I thought we were the same age. :) She put up with me and I didn't even know she didn't want to.

I crashed her 18th birthday party. I thought I was one of the big kids. I had fun and didn't even know I wasn't invited.

We have had photo shoots at Costco (I am not sharing my tent!)

We have slumber parties (no I will not tuck you in.)

I talk to her all the time. We talk about almost everything you can talk about.



Things I learned from Dedra:
1. Eating beef jerky and listening to Reba count as excersizing.
2. Root Beer floats are good dinners
3. She should never eat garlic
4. Blankets are most fun when made after a week of being silly with your sister.
5. Casket rooms are fun to play hide and seek in.

Even though Mom isn't here to yell at me and tell me to get my head out of my butt. I have Dedra who tried hard. She's nice and listens to my crazy talk. Thanks Dedra. I love you.

10 Truths

10. I miss my Mom. She was some one I could talk to and get advice from. Most of the time she was crazy and I wouldn't listen but I still wish I could ask her things. My sisters are great but when they yell at me they giggle after... Mom didn't giggle... It's just not the same.

9. I live 1000 miles from my family. 2500 mikes fron one of my best friends. And in the next room is my roommate Brittany... She's a million miles away.

8. Dedra fires for no reason all the time! RUDE!

7. I go through almost 3000 texts a month. Most of them are between Spencer and I. Funny how I see him everyday and I text with him the most. Haha
6. The blankets on my bed were made special for me. Ryan and Rhonda made the bottom one for my when I was like 15 or so. The top one is my star blanket! Dedra made it for my 21st birthday. They are my mist favorite blankets.
5. I have over 200 pairs of socks. Non of them are white.
4. I have painted toe nails even though I don't like having them painted. They are bright red and sparkly. Just like my Mom's toes are. That way we match.
3. Spencer is hot. He is. I think I'll keep him.
2. I sometimes think I want to go back so school. I would love to get my instructor's license. I would love to teach people what I wish I would have known in beauty school. I'm not saying miss Anna did. Bad job... I'm just saying it's a good thing i pick up on things as easily as I do.
1. I love Spencer Hales. He's my favorite. I miss him when he's not around. I asked him to read this when I'm done writing it. He said he would. It's almost 2:30am. He's nice.

Thanks for staying up Spencer! Go to sleep! I love you.

Oh Dedra! This is for you!
