I have become a lame blogger. I am working on that. Here is a list of 10 things that happened this week-
1. I got sick and vomited at work.
2. Took a nap everyday.
3. Passed the entrance exam for MATC. I will be starting school in August.
4. A dear friend of the family, Pam Sommer, lost her battle with cancer. I am so sad that I can't afford to go home for her funeral. I want to give Bob and Doug big hugs do badly.
5. Was put on a new medicine for iron deficiency. It is what is making me sick all the time.
6. Played in the rain with Kyle and our 18 month old neighbor Claira. We were teaching her how to puddle jump. It was so stinking cute! She is a terrific kid.
7. Started Ether in the Book of Mormon and Exodus in the Bible. (I have also decided the Bible is pretty boring. I like the BoM way better)
8. I am now half way through A Thousand Splendid Suns. It's super good!
9. Worked my full 40 hours. I've not done that for a few weeks. PLUS! over time this week because of the holiday.
10. Started cutting out fabric for a new blanket. It will be a slab quilt. I'm super excited. I may make 2! Haha

This is a blog post
I have outstanding news! My car is in the shop! I am so excited. I should be driving by Tuesday.
I am so excited. I have Tuesday and Wednesday off this week. I will be able to go get my car and not have to leave right when it starts getting dark I will be able to actually stay until it’s bed time. I will be able to see my man more! I am so happy.
I also will be able to go grocery shopping. I haven’t really been grocery shopping in a long time. I will pick up milk and bread but I am really running on nothing at this point. I may need a friend to go with me. This is a warning to everyone.
I will also be able to use the GYM at work. I have never been able to before because I would be dark by the time I could find time to go. Now that doesn’t matter. I’ll be able to drive. I am really excited about this. Also with me not riding my bike to work every I’ll need to work out. HA!
On other notes. We had several call outs at work today. That was lame. It was crazy busy this morning. It seemed like every person ever was being a stinker and setting off the alarm. Also, there were lots of husbands with good intentions setting off the fire alarm. Some men just shouldn’t cook.
Jentrie had the giggles this morning. It was great. Everything was funny. I love when she is tired like that. Hahaha.
I am in a rambling mood. I hope that his hasn’t been too much of my awesome randomness. Haha.
Oh man! What a day yesterday was! Now that I have been able to get some sleep I will tell you about it.
It’s funny because I was more rested than most of the rest of the house.
Alexis and Aaron were married yesterday.
Mati and Lexi stayed up until 5am putting the finishing touches on Lexi’s dress. Calli stayed up all night doing flowers and everything else ever!
Olivia and I were up until 1am making pies and watching Batman. We had a slumber party at my house.
Olivia and I were back at her house by 6:50am.
I helped fix the bridesmaids dresses. The sleeves needed altered a bit. I did Hannah, Olivia and Alexis’ hair. I slapped together a flower for Aaron. It was a crazy morning.
I went home to try to take a nap around 11:30am. My upstairs neighbor was vacuuming for what seemed like an eternity. I finally gave up and went back to Spencer’s house.
His cousins were there to help him today while everyone was running around.
I was able to be with Spencer that afternoon and evening. It was fun to have a mini date again. We made dinner and were able to visit. He had a big day today also. He was up all night as well. With all the hustle and bustle of the night he wasn’t able to sleep.
He kept saying things like “My sister is married” “Alexis is married.” He asked me her new last name and he kept saying “Alexi Puglisi” over and over again. It was weird to him. I was weird to me too as my siblings got married.
He asked me if I thought anyone noticed that he wasn’t at the Temple or the Reception. I told him how I knew that everyone missed him. He kept saying how he wished he was able to go to the family dinner on the 12th. He wished he was able to go to the wedding. He loves his family so much. He wants to be able to share in these moments. He is so sad that he is sick. He feels like he is in the way and he would like to be helping.
Now that the wedding is over there will be a lot less stress at the Hales home. Everyone has been working so hard for the wedding. Lex was a vision in her dress. Mati, Olivia and Hannah were all so beautiful. Chris and Sam here so handsome. I am so glad I was able to see everyone all dressed up. It was a good day.
I had left for the evening before the family all got back from the reception. I did get to hear how that went. I will be asking about that tonight when I get to see everyone again.
I am glad that I was able to help with the wedding. I hope that Lexi’s day was memorable in the best ways. I love everyone at that house. I am so happy for Aaron and Alexis. I wish them all the happiness in the world.

What could have been
In February Spencer asked if I wanted anything from the jewelry store I worked at for Valentines Day. I looked at my left hand and then looked at him. I said "Yeah"
In March I started looking for a new job. Spencer and I talked about getting our rings before I quit Schubach. That way we could use my employee discount. We had our rings picked out.
Spencer's head started hurting. I told him several times to go to the doctor. He said it would go away. He was fine. The stress of getting the money for an MRI was weighing on us.
Sadly Sam broke his arm but now Spencer could get him MRI.
Marriage put on the back burner once again we waited for the MRI results.
In the mean time Spencer's tumor didn't want to wait for his doctors appointment. May 6, 2012 we were told that we had at best 6 months.
These last 5 months have been amazing in several ways. They have been hard and wonderful.
I asked Spencer if he would marry me when he was still in the hospital. We talked for a couple of weeks about it. He then just said "No". That broke my heart.
A few days ago Spencer told me why he said no. He told me that it wouldn't have been fair to me if we'd gotten married. That I shouldn't marry someone with cancer. I reminded him that the cancer has never been an issue for me. He said he knew that. That he still thinks that I shouldn't have to deal with it. That I need someone that will take care of me. That it isn't fair to me that I sit with him and do nothing. He feels like he's wasting my time. He then said he was sorry for being like this.
Spencer brought up marriage again today. He said that he wants me to make sure that I get married. That he wants me to be happy. I told him that I would still marry him today. He asked me "Why do you put up with me? I'm nothing." I tried to explain how much he means to me and how I love him.
He told me how if he wasn't sick we would be the ones getting married right now. I must admit I am painfully jealous of Lexi and Aaron. I am so happy for them. I am. It is just all I can do not to cry all the time when I see Lexi and Calli talking about the wedding or working on putting the finishing touches on things.
Okay so this is my rambling. I am going to leave you with a couple of pictures. These were the rings we had picked.

Time...
Time has been on my mind. When someone says "We've known each other for 25 years." The response generally is "Wow, that's a long time."
When someone says "He passed away at 25." The response is generally "Oh, he was so young."
It's the same amount of time. It's 25 years. It's all in how you look at it. Spencer is 25. We've been together for over 2 years. Dating someone for 2 years is a "long time". As I sit next to Spencer, holding his hand, it doesn't feel like its a long time.
He told me today that it wouldn't have been fair to me if we'd gotten married. That I shouldn't marry someone with cancer. That shocked me when he brought it up. I reminded him that the cancer has never been an issue for me. He said he knew that. That he still thinks that I shouldn't have to deal with it. That I need someone that will take care of me. That it isn't fair to me that I sit with him and do nothing. He feels like he's wasting my time. He then said he was sorry for being like this.
I told him that there are no sorry's and no regrets. That he isn't wasting my time. He keeps me company during my time off.
The doctors said we had at best 6 months. That was 5 months ago. When someone tells you that you only have 6 months to live its hard to think that you only have such a short time. When someone says "Ensign Ranch is in 6 months." That 6 months is an ETERNITY!
The last 5 months have been a huge growing experience. It has straightened my testimony of the Plan of Salvation. It has let Spencer and I talk about the memories we have made together. It has grown me up more than I ever thought possible. It has been a long but at the same time a very short 5 months.
I know this post has probably made zero sense. I'm sorry for that. I just wanted to ramble for a minute.

Ramblings of an insane mind
I worked on my WIP wall yesterday. Dedra would be so proud of me. I finished 3 blocks, ironed all the completed ones and then walked away again because I was mad at my sewing project. :)
The blanket I am working on is one that will be so UGLY when it is done. It is all my scrap fabric. The colors don’t match. The fabrics are all different. It will be really awesome. When I started the project Spencer asked why I was making something so ugly. I told him it was going to be the blanket that we were going to have on our bed when we got married. He in the cutest way ever asked so nicely “Can we have a pretty one instead?” I laughed. I told him that we were going to have this ugly for the first 10 years and that we would reevaluate then. He seemed less than thrilled. He told me he would buy the fabric if we could have a pretty one to start with. I still told him no. I really wanted the crazy quilt. It would have been more fun.
Now that Spencer is sick I really want to finish it. There is a lot of work. I don’t think I will be able to finish it before he passes. I am going to try though. I was asking him if he remembered the quilt. He said he wasn’t sure. I will just need to bring pictures. See if that helps. Haha. It is really ugly.
Last night was a really fun night. Calli and Stephen went on a date. I was glad that they were able to get out and have some time with friends. The Girls were babysitting, the boys are at High Adventure and so it was a nice evening with Spencer and Mati. It was nice to have the time with Spencer and to visit with Mati.
Everyone got home around 8:45. I the made my exit. I had to work this morning.
I got to work around 8:15am. It am making up some hours. The ride to work just about killed me. It’s not a hard ride. I was almost hit 4 different times. I ride on the shoulder until there is trail for bikes. People are scary.
I got new tires last Wednesday. Sam told me that I would have better traction but it would be a little harder to peddle. He was right. My quads are a little sore. I have been riding my normal route to work. Yesterday morning I rode out to the lake and back. That was harder than it should have been. Haha
Adam and Casandra will be in Utah on Tuesday. I am excited to have family here. I will get to see them on Tuesday and Wednesday. It just so happens that I have those days off. Ha! I look forward to seeing how big Kaylee and Caleb are. I am also excited to make dinner. I’ve not really cooked in a while. I like cooking.
This is a very rambling blog… I’m not really sorry. I am in a rambling mood. Haha.
The other day my sister and I were texting back and forth. We were talking about the things that we do that show we are slowly turning into our Mom. Like when we vacuum the kitchen, the way we write sometimes will look like Mom wrote it, The way we talk, our tempers, thing like that…
Dedra is way too nice to really turn into Mom. I, on the other hand am not. I have a sharp tongue and a temperament that is almost the exactly like my Mother’s. It scares me sometimes. My mom was an awesome lady don’t get me wrong. There are lots of things that I am thankful that I can do because I am so much like her. There are just other things that are going to make my life hard if I don’t learn to play nice with the other kids. Mom used to tell me all the time that I was either going to have a husband that I will argue with all the time or one that is submissive. (Spencer was neither by the way. He was the perfect balance. He told me to cool it when I needed to. He liked that I was head strong and bold when I needed to be.)
I have been thinking about this topic a lot since we talked about it. I was so happy that I’d found someone that wanted to put up with me. No I am back to square one. I am scared that I won’t be able to find someone else that will be able to balance me the way Spencer did. What are the odds that I will be able to find someone that will have the temperament that will be able to handle all my crazy? It makes me scared.
Maybe I’ll be single for the rest of my life and then I will get to be with Spencer in the end. I’ll probably die when I’m in my 60’s. I can just be a Temple worker for the rest of my life. 35 years isn’t that long of a time compared to eternity.
I am going to end this post before I get too crazy. I may or may not post again today.

There was zero proof reading done on this blog post.
I have some catching up to do.
After church I went over to Spencer’s house. He was in the kitchen. Everyone else was putting the finishing touches on dinner. I moved Spencer to the table.
After dinner he wasn’t feeling well. His stomach was really bothering him. He went to lay down in the study. After his stomach was feeling somewhat better he said he wanted to go upstairs.
I took him to his room. We talked for a bit. He is in a really dark place right now. He is so ready for all of this to just be over. He said how he feels like he is wasting every ones time. That he just causes stress. That he is sick of life. I keep trying to comfort him when we talk like that. It’s hard to convince him that he is worthwhile. He doesn’t want to hear it. He says that he is ruining everything. That because he is sick we don’t get to do any of the things we planned. That I shouldn’t love him anymore. That I should find someone that isn’t dying. Then out of nowhere he asked me “What are we doing? What’s going on?” I told him he was upstairs in his bed just resting. He said okay and then closed his eyes. From that point on I couldn’t even move my hand because he would hold it tighter if I shifted in anyway. It took about 10 minutes for me to talk him in to letting it go so I could go home. I was keen on staying. I don’t think his parents would have been as okay with it. Ha!
After I got home I was able to clean my messy house for a minute before Derek and River came over. Derek needed his hair cute so bad. They went to see Spencer on Saturday. Derek said it was really hard to talk to Spencer. He wasn’t all there. Derek asked what I thought about getting together in a couple of week and having dinner. I said I will see what we can do. I don’t know how Spencer will be in couple of weeks. We’d be hard pressed to get Calli to let him out of her site as it is. We may end up having a picnic in the back yard at Spencer’s house… That’s not really a bad Idea now that I think about it.
So here comes the part of the Blog Post that is being written to make Dedra painfully Jealous. Kate, Dedra’s best friend is in Utah. Kate is a bit of a stalker. She took a picture of my house and sent it to Dedra. Kate then text me and said there was a crazy lady outside of my house. Haha. Kate came over at 9pm to visit and have a root beer float. Kate and I took a picture of us standing like Superheroes. We are rad. Dedra is Jealous. MUHAHAHA! I had never met Kate before. I’d talked on the phone with her but that was all. It was nice to finally meet her. She’s funny.
I was in bed much later than I should have been. I am not even more tired that I normally am for work. WOOT!
Cam was in charge of the floor again today. He ruins my life most days. Today was one of them. I’m not his favorite because I talk back. He tries to be intimidating. For most of the people, that works. I am not most people. It bothers him that I don’t bend over backwards like the other minions do. I’m glad he leaves at 2.
This week out Central Station is the one doing ALL the inbounds not just the overflow. It has made it harder for Cami and I to do the Special instructions project. It’s frustrating. It was nuts today. BLAH! Yay for work! It very much cramps my style.
I went to see the Doctor after work. It was just a follow up about my new meds. I’m still crazy. How’s that for fun? Oh wait… it’s not.
I finally got to Spencer's house around 6. He was laying on the couch in the kitchen. He was pretty out of it. He didn't really say anything until around 7:20 and all it was, was "What am I doing?"
After dinner we all went and sat on the porch. It was finally nice outside. There were crazy hot moments, stand still and you'll drown moments. It was really nice come 8pm. It only took all day to get here. Ha.
I took a couple of pictures of Spencer outside. He is so skinny. He still eats. I think they should start having him drink whole milk or maybe cream.
For family night they went on a ride in the truck. I sadly had to come home. My work schedule requires me to go to bed ridiculously early. I hope he had fun.
The app in my iPod that I update my blog with won't let me pick and chose where to put the pictures of what order they are in. That is why they are always at the end. If I was smart and fancy it would be different. Seeing how I am of average intelligence and only pretend to be fancy, you get pictures at they end. Also in a weird order. This app has flaws.
After church I went over to Spencer’s house. He was in the kitchen. Everyone else was putting the finishing touches on dinner. I moved Spencer to the table.

After I got home I was able to clean my messy house for a minute before Derek and River came over. Derek needed his hair cute so bad. They went to see Spencer on Saturday. Derek said it was really hard to talk to Spencer. He wasn’t all there. Derek asked what I thought about getting together in a couple of week and having dinner. I said I will see what we can do. I don’t know how Spencer will be in couple of weeks. We’d be hard pressed to get Calli to let him out of her site as it is. We may end up having a picnic in the back yard at Spencer’s house… That’s not really a bad Idea now that I think about it.
So here comes the part of the Blog Post that is being written to make Dedra painfully Jealous. Kate, Dedra’s best friend is in Utah. Kate is a bit of a stalker. She took a picture of my house and sent it to Dedra. Kate then text me and said there was a crazy lady outside of my house. Haha. Kate came over at 9pm to visit and have a root beer float. Kate and I took a picture of us standing like Superheroes. We are rad. Dedra is Jealous. MUHAHAHA! I had never met Kate before. I’d talked on the phone with her but that was all. It was nice to finally meet her. She’s funny.
I was in bed much later than I should have been. I am not even more tired that I normally am for work. WOOT!
Cam was in charge of the floor again today. He ruins my life most days. Today was one of them. I’m not his favorite because I talk back. He tries to be intimidating. For most of the people, that works. I am not most people. It bothers him that I don’t bend over backwards like the other minions do. I’m glad he leaves at 2.
This week out Central Station is the one doing ALL the inbounds not just the overflow. It has made it harder for Cami and I to do the Special instructions project. It’s frustrating. It was nuts today. BLAH! Yay for work! It very much cramps my style.
I went to see the Doctor after work. It was just a follow up about my new meds. I’m still crazy. How’s that for fun? Oh wait… it’s not.
I finally got to Spencer's house around 6. He was laying on the couch in the kitchen. He was pretty out of it. He didn't really say anything until around 7:20 and all it was, was "What am I doing?"
After dinner we all went and sat on the porch. It was finally nice outside. There were crazy hot moments, stand still and you'll drown moments. It was really nice come 8pm. It only took all day to get here. Ha.
I took a couple of pictures of Spencer outside. He is so skinny. He still eats. I think they should start having him drink whole milk or maybe cream.
For family night they went on a ride in the truck. I sadly had to come home. My work schedule requires me to go to bed ridiculously early. I hope he had fun.
The app in my iPod that I update my blog with won't let me pick and chose where to put the pictures of what order they are in. That is why they are always at the end. If I was smart and fancy it would be different. Seeing how I am of average intelligence and only pretend to be fancy, you get pictures at they end. Also in a weird order. This app has flaws.

Just another blog post... Nothing special
I worked today. It was a really long day. I sat in the corner alone. I didn’t want to talk to anyone. I also wanted to sort through some pictures and update my blog. I wasn’t in the mood to talk to people.
I woke up tired this morning. I could feel that it was going to be on off day. I made sure that Courtney had a house key and knew that Aubrey would be there to pick her up for church at 12:15. I then left for work.
There were a lot of people that were calling in to say that the alarm that we either didn’t receive or the alarm we got X number of days ago was false. It was frustrating. Oh well, it’s okay. It’s not like they were trying to be annoying. Haha
As I type this I feel grumpy. I have really no reason to be grumpy. I should get over it. Everyone was so happy today. Everyone was joking and laughing. The atmosphere at work was great. I just wasn’t feeling it. I wanted to shake everyone and say “DON’T YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON??? DON’T YOU SEE THAT HE’S DYING???” Their lives are still going on. Things haven’t changed for them. They don’t get it.
I for the most part an really good about keeping it together at work. I have had a couple of times where I have cried. Things just get to be too much and I explode. I generally can excuse myself before it gets to that point. Today I just feel sad. I don’t feel like I can’t do my job. I have been just fine. I just feel sad. I was looking through a bunch of pictures from the last 2 years. I remember and smile. I love seeing the silly things that I was able to talk Spencer into doing. Haha. I am sad that I don’t get to keep making these kind of memories with him. I am losing him. I know that we will all be invited to the same party in the end. I know this. I just wish that he would get to be the one that escorted me when we are both there. I’ll be lucky if I even get a dance.
I don’t want this to sound like a pity party. I just wanted to vent a little. Everything will be all right in the end and until it’s all right, it’s not the end.
I had dinner at Spencer's house. Courtney wanted to do something different. Dinner was good. Conversation was good between everyone. Spencer took a little bit understanding that it was time to eat. He sat there for a little while then it clicked.
He went to lay down in the study after dinner. He kept saying how he hated that he didn't understand. He was so frustrated. He was angry. He asked me why. I told him the tumor wasn't letting him think. That it was the cancer not him. That this would pass. He kept asking when. I don't know what to do when he gets so upset like that. It hurts to see him like that.
Courtney and I hung out at home gem about 7:30 on. We watched Finding Neverland and drank hot chocolate.
I am tired. I am tired of everything.

Friday the 13th- The July 2012 edition
Today is Friday the 13th. This made work really fun. You would think that the world was coming to an end. Every one that could call in did. Every alarm that could have gone off did. I was so happy when it was time for me to go home.
It was a stressful day. I dispatched for an actual this morning. I shouldn’t have been the one to do it. That just about gave me a heart attack. I don’t get scared anymore when I dispatch. I stay calm during actuals. I am good under pressure… Well, normally I am. As of late, not so much.
Today at work Julia called me her imaginary friend. Why? You ask… I don’t know. I thought I was real this whole time. Jokes on me. Ha!
I got to Spencer's house around 5:15 ish. He was laying on the couch in the study. He and I were sort of talking. He recognized me. He didn't ask until I'd been there for a couple of hours "You're Gina, right?" I said "Yes" he then said "Good". He's never called me Rachel. I really hope he never does. He's corrected his family before calling me by her name.
He asked what he did to deserve this. I tried to explain that this isn't a punishment. That he is an amazing person to be able to be done with his earthly work so soon. He asked why he just couldn't be normal. He just wanted to be able to understand. He asked why he couldn't understand several times. I tried to tell him that it was the cancer, not him. Then he asked "What's cancer?" I told him it was a sickness. That the sickness is in his brain. That this confused feeling would pass. He didn't understand at first. Once he did understand he asked when he wouldn't be sick anymore. I started crying. I told him soon. His lack of getting things brought him to tears several times through out the evening also.
He didn't understand when I told him I love him. I tried to explain. He then said "Do I love you?" I again cried and said "I hope so." he said "I think I do."
He would stare off and I asked what he was looking at. He didn't know. I asked if he saw people. He said he didn't know. I feel the vail is thinning for him.
He said his chest hurt. He was laying funny but he shouldn't have had chest pain. His breathing was weird also. I was scared.
We had pizza and salad for dinner. He won't eat unless someone else is eating too. He will eat until you tell him to stop. He doesn't know when he's full. His cousin Britny came over tonight. Everyone ate and visited. They played Monopoly. Spencer laid on the couch and I sat by him as we watched them play. It was fun.
Calli and Stephen went on a date. They needed to get out. I am glad they were able to get out. Sometimes you just need time with your husband. I know I feel that way about Spencer. Sometimes after a long day I just want to sit with him and hold his hand. It makes everything so much better.
I had a later night then I normally have. I am tired. I have to pick Courtney up from EFY tomorrow. I'm excited to hear how things went.

July 12, 2012
I talked to dad on my break at work this morning. Steve is doing good. They are putting him a new diet. He will also has to be low activity for the next few months. Steve being a Price makes me think that this will be hard for him. Marla being Marla will kick his butt. I heart Marla mucho. He is out of the ICU and is on the normal cardio wing. Shad went to go see him at the hospital. I guess they were having too much fun and were asked to leave. Haha! I love it. I am also not surprised. Everyone was together and no one was working. Why not have a party?
The meds I’m on are kicking my butt. I am in bed by 9:30 and will wake up at 6:40 and still can’t hardly function. How’s that for fun? Oh what, IT’S NOT!
Work was fun. Julia text me to asking me to tell the powers that be that she wouldn’t be coming in. haha. David and I have taken over the Priests of Noah row. When they got to work they were grumpy. I’m over it. I am not going to sit with the stinky 3rd shift people when I get here. Not going to happen. HA! Plus, we like being able to have snacks at work.
Cam was in a really bad mood today. I don’t know what his problem was. He was grumpy over everything. I think he needed a nap. I know I did. He made me tired with all his micro managing today. It was zero fun. Norm wasn’t in today. I’m thinking that Cam was drunk on power. I like it better when Maria or Herschel are the ones in charge during the morning shift hours.
Have you ever had so much caffeine in your system that you were jittery yet you were so tired that you were still moving in slow motion? This was my life today. My new meds are kicking my butt. I need the caffeine to stay awake. It’s like I keep running but my target never seemed to get any closer. It was extremely frustrating. It’s funny now that I am thinking about it. It wasn’t funny while I was at work.
They kept trying to put me on alarms today. It was great how I told everyone that I wasn’t to be on high priority alarms. I was only to be on Lows and inbounds. It made for an interesting day. I think tomorrow I am going to bring a book or something. I am the only one on the floor that can have their phone on the their desk. I just can’t sit and play on it. I did text a little when I shouldn’t have. I get so tried that If I don’t do anything I will fall asleep at my desk. Thanks to Mary I was able to stay awake the last 45 minutes of my shift! Hahaha.
I thought about crying to see if I could go home early. I would have but I need the hours. I had to work my schedule weird this pay period so that I could have Courtney. I am short about 10 hours. I have been working through my lunches. I need the hours.
I got to Spencer's a little after 5pm. I visited with Calli for a few minutes. I like Calli a lot.
I was able to sit with Spencer for a while before dinner. I told him I love him and he said "okay" he was half asleep. It made me laugh.
He was really having a hard time forming thoughts. It's become more noticeable the last couple of days. He will do good for a bit and then he can't even find the words to say he can't think. He will just have this look on his face that is frustrated, embarrassed and sad. It breaks my heart.
We had french toast for dinner. I had to fix his plate. He didn't understand what was going on. Once he say everyone else eating it clicked.
After dinner we watched Ocean's 11. I think he recognized Vegas. It was interesting to see the dots connect for him.
When I left he didn't understand what I was doing. I explained to him about 4 or 5 times that I had to go home and would be back tomorrow. He asked if he was coming with me. He asked what he needed to do. He would say how he didn't want me to go. That he didn't understand why I was leaving. It kills me to have to leave every night. I would give anything to be able to sleep on the floor next to his bed at night. So I could hold his had as he slept. I could make sure he is still breathing. That I could just be there.
I love him so much. I wish I could be with him always. I am so tired of everything cramping my style.
I did Turbo Jam a little tonight. I needed to blow off so steam. Its been a really long day. I'm ready for it to be over. Now comes the fear of tomorrow.
P.s.
This what happens when I try to take his picture when he's awake. You'd think that taking his picture would have gotten easier through all of this. Nope. At least I know I've not lost all of him right?

Me + Spencer = 716
So I'm bad at math. Haha that shouldn't be a shock to anyone. I like 716 better.
Yesterday after work I called Spencer to see how his day was. He'd been resting most of the day. He asked if I was home and if I was coming to dinner. If he extends the invitation I will always except.
Dinner was delightful. It was really fun to spend time with his family.
After dinner Britny came over. It was fun to see her. Every one sat around talking for a while. Mati told stories from Russia. Britny told stories about her piano students and different roommates. She said how she likes Michigan. They played Apples to Apples also. Spencer and I watched.
Apples to Apples is a funny game in the right group. Everyone was laughing and being silly. It was fun. I am glad I was able to be there.
Like the gentleman he is, Spencer walked me to the door. I was home by 8:50. The worst part of my day is when I have to say good night to Spencer. More times than not It’s all I can do not to cry. I wish I could sleep on his bedroom floor and hold his hand.
Spencer called me a little after 10pm to say good night. I love being able to end my day talking him. He makes me happy.
Today I started my week of 10 hour days. I don’t mind 10 hour shifts. I don’t love them though. I am looking forward to having Tuesday and Wednesday off. I will get to have all of both days with him. I love that! I am excited.
Norm is the new kid at work. He is also the head of both monitoring departments. He is the major big wig. I heart him mucho. Monitoring just won some award for outstanding customer service and prompt response time and some other stuff. We are the best of the best in the alarm company world. Whatever… I didn’t realize it was anything special until he comes in with this HUGE trophy. I asked him if he was going to fill it full of candy for us. He said no and laughed. He told me I could rub it if I wanted. I said I’d rather have candy. As I was leaving for break I was telling everyone that Norm was going to fill this huge trophy with candy for us. I made it sound like it was his idea and by the time I got back from break everyone was so excited and thanking Norm. Norm told me I was manipulative. I’m pretty sure that we are getting candy. Muhahaha!
I was only able to see Spencer for a few hours today. He is having a really hard time thinking. He was frustrated. It makes me sad to watch him slip away like he is. I miss him so much and he is sitting right next to me.
I was able to sit with him at the table. We talked a little bit. I like when we get to talk. I sat next to him during fhe. Stephen talked about the plan of salvation.
I was home by 10:20 ish. I'm tired.

1,2,3,4 I'm just gonna keep on counting...
So I went to bed really late last night and could hardly see to read my scriptures. There was no way I was going to be able to write a blog. So here I am sitting at work once again. (In case you were wondering, I live at work.) I didn’t post yesterday. That means my ramblings will be about yesterday’s events rather than me sitting at my desk talking to David about his stalker who is sitting 3 chairs down from me today… She’s special…
Wednesday June 27, 2012
At 10am I put a pork roast, about 4 oz of beef broth, cumin, taco seasoning and 2 small cans of green chilies in to the crock pot. I set it to low and walked away.
The rest of the morning I cleaned my house, made raspberry cream puffs for my friend, talked on the phone with Spencer, ticked off a wasp nest, and went to the grocery store twice. Let’s say it was eventful.
I went to Spencer’s house at 2:30. He came and sat by me on the couch while everyone else got ready to go. We all went to see Brave. It was really cute. It wasn’t anything like I was expecting but I still liked it.
I also decided that I need to get all the Pixar movies. I don’t really like the Toy Story movies. I really liked Ratatouille. I love the Incredibles. I liked Cars. I did NOT like Cars 2. I’m not going to go through the whole list of movies. (I ramble) I do need to get them though. I want my kids to be able to watch them. My Disney collection is awesome. Might as well add the Disney Pixar stuff.
After the Movie Spencer and I were dropped off at my house. We made a really yummy lime cilantro rice. We pulled the meat that had been cooking all day. We got everything ready for dinner. We made Café Rio style Burritos for dinner for his family. They turned out sort of AWESOME. Really, this rice is so good. It makes me happy every time we make it. It smells amazing and its tasty.
After we cleaned up from dinner Spencer went upstairs to rest. He had been going strong for most of the day and was tired. I was tired. I sat with him until 9. He was practically asleep. I also had plans to go do baptisms at the Temple with my friend Julia.
Julia and I did baptisms and were back to my house by 10ish. I made us sandwiches and we talked and laughed until 11:30! 11:30 is SOOO past my bed time. Haha. I was trying to not fall asleep as we were talking. I am such a light weight now. Once it’s dark, I’m a no fun.
Julia and I also sprayed the wasp nest with poison. I hope they are dead. I am going to spray them again tonight. I don’t like bugs but I will leave them alone for the most part. If they invade my space, its self-defense and I will kill them.
It was a very eventful day.

Oh look, a new day. I am sitting at work and I get to ramble! MUHAHAHA!
Because I stayed up so late I got a ride to work this morning from my friend Andrea. She is in my RS presidency, Her sister is my visiting teacher, and she is one of the few people I know in my ward.
Work has been fun. David’s stalker is driving me nuts. He gets to work a little before I do and he always makes sure that either Julia or I sit by him. Depending on the desk he’s at we sit on either side of him. Stalker Chicky is a divorcee with 2 little kids and has a crush on David. David is a happily married man with 4 kids. He treats his wife amazing and she wants that. She is trying to be a home wrecker. We protect him. We’re nice. Chicky is a nut. When David’s family came in to say “hi” she was bitter and failed to recognize how cute David’s 3 month old Greta is. Greta is little an squishy and CUTE!
I didn’t hear from Spencer while I was at work. He had a really busy day yesterday. He needed the rest.
Julia had and asthma attack at work. Her brother came and got her. I rode her bike home for her. Utah is on fire right now so the air is awful! I thought I was going to die on my way to her house.
Spencer text me asking when I was going to be home and if I was still coming over. I was running late because of riding the bike to Julia's house. I forgot to tell him. I felt like a doofus.
When I got I his house we talking for a minute and then came down for dinner. He cousin came over and visited for a while. That was fun.
Spencer was tired so he went to go lay down again. I was able to sit with him until 9pm. I had to go home then. It's the worst part of my day having to leave Spencer. When I left tonight Spencer grabbed my hand as I was walking away. He held it tightly. It was so sweet I wanted to cry. He is so wonderful. Who ever he gets to be with through eternity is going to be so lucky. I am very jealous of this woman I don't know.
I should have been in bed over an hour ago. I took my time getting ready for bed... Good night.

At 10am I put a pork roast, about 4 oz of beef broth, cumin, taco seasoning and 2 small cans of green chilies in to the crock pot. I set it to low and walked away.
The rest of the morning I cleaned my house, made raspberry cream puffs for my friend, talked on the phone with Spencer, ticked off a wasp nest, and went to the grocery store twice. Let’s say it was eventful.
I went to Spencer’s house at 2:30. He came and sat by me on the couch while everyone else got ready to go. We all went to see Brave. It was really cute. It wasn’t anything like I was expecting but I still liked it.
I also decided that I need to get all the Pixar movies. I don’t really like the Toy Story movies. I really liked Ratatouille. I love the Incredibles. I liked Cars. I did NOT like Cars 2. I’m not going to go through the whole list of movies. (I ramble) I do need to get them though. I want my kids to be able to watch them. My Disney collection is awesome. Might as well add the Disney Pixar stuff.
After the Movie Spencer and I were dropped off at my house. We made a really yummy lime cilantro rice. We pulled the meat that had been cooking all day. We got everything ready for dinner. We made Café Rio style Burritos for dinner for his family. They turned out sort of AWESOME. Really, this rice is so good. It makes me happy every time we make it. It smells amazing and its tasty.
After we cleaned up from dinner Spencer went upstairs to rest. He had been going strong for most of the day and was tired. I was tired. I sat with him until 9. He was practically asleep. I also had plans to go do baptisms at the Temple with my friend Julia.
Julia and I did baptisms and were back to my house by 10ish. I made us sandwiches and we talked and laughed until 11:30! 11:30 is SOOO past my bed time. Haha. I was trying to not fall asleep as we were talking. I am such a light weight now. Once it’s dark, I’m a no fun.
Julia and I also sprayed the wasp nest with poison. I hope they are dead. I am going to spray them again tonight. I don’t like bugs but I will leave them alone for the most part. If they invade my space, its self-defense and I will kill them.
It was a very eventful day.

Just another day in paradise
I am trying to not be a lame blogger. I was really good about posting every day for a little while. I then became a slacker.
I have not been sleeping well and I am just too tired to really write anything. So, I am sitting at work as I type this. I figure if I can type out the first half of the blog at work and then finish it up before I go to bed. This is my plan.
The only problem with this plan is that I now have 8-10 hours a day to ramble. That is good and bad. It’s good that I get to write down everything that I think. It’s bad if you don’t care and you are reading my blog. Haha. Jokes on you! This is my sorry in advance.
I sometimes like to free write at work. It’s never anything of substance. That’s the problem. I could tell you funny things that happen at work…
We had a lady named Constance Butts. Her alarm was going off and everything David would say her name for a message or for dispatching or whatever everyone would giggle. We are all children here. When David was done with the calls he said “She must have really loved her husband” I think I would have kept my last name if I were in her shoes. Anderson is way better than Butts. Haha We’re so immature.
I am trying to not just free write. I could ramble and go on forever about needing to pee, being hungry, wanting to stretch, stupid people not knowing how to work their alarms, AWESOME older people calling in and telling me the alarm is false and then telling me stories and things like that. (I actually really like listening to the old people telling me stories.) I could ramble about that for a long time. I could make this blog post a novel. I won't do that. Haha This is why I don’t blog at work. I never have anything of substance to write about until the evening. Even then it’s my rambling about what *I* found to be important throughout the day. If I type at work, there is no telling what I’ll ramble about! See, I’m doing it now!
We had a team meeting today. It was kind of fun. We are really obnoxious. There are 17 people on my team. We didn’t go over any of the things we needed to. We ate cookies and joked around. It was awesome. It was like having an hour long break randomly. Then after my team meeting I went on my regularly scheduled break. HAHA
Once I got home I went over to Spencer's house. I sat with him for a while. He was tired. I was glad to be with him while he rested.
He needed to vote today. So we went with Stephen and Calli to the Court house to vote. It was Sam's first time voting. That is way weird to me.
After voting we went back home and Spencer went up stairs to rest again. He was really dizzy. It was hot and really bright. That wasn't helping anything.
Spencer asked me what I write in my journal every night. I told him that it's just the days events. He asked in the past what I've written. I finally understood that he was asking what I wrote about him. I told him that I write about how sweet he is and kind and I went on and don't want to embarrass him... That everything we've done I write down. From going to the grocery store to the kiss goodnight. He asked who would read my journal. I told him my kids would after I'm dead. He asked if he would be embarrassed by my journals. I told him yes and so would I. That's why I have to be dead for people to read them. Haha
He then asked me if he was going to heaven. It always hurts my heart to heart that. I told him how he was lucky to able to finish his work here so quickly. That he must have an important job to be called him so soon. I really think he has a major roll to play. Why else would he have had some of the trials in his life that he has? I asked him if he would be there when I die to say hi. He told me he would be. :)
At 8 we had dinner. We sat at the bar and talked. I love being able to talk with him. We decided we're going to make dinner for his family tomorrow night. I really like cooking with Spencer. I think it's going to be fun.
I was home be 9:30. It was a good day.

I fear the lameness. So I am posting
So it has come to my attention that I am a lame blogger. I have been told this by someone who will remain nameless. So, I am now posting because I fear the lameness.
June 12, 2012 Tuesday
I worked. It was good. Well… about as good as work can be.
Right as I was pulling into my parking lot Spencer text me. “Do you want to come over?” Heck yes I do! I told him I’d be over as soon as I changed my clothes. He said that he was excited to see me. Seriously! It made my heart skip a beat.
I still have such a crush on him. Whenever I get a text or email I can’t help but to smile. When I see him, I light up. I love him so much. I really like that I still have a school girl crush on him. He is wonderful.
I went over there and we sat upstairs for a little bit before coming down for dinner. He told me that Mary was coming over to say Hi.
After dinner we sat out on the porch for about an hour talking with Mary. It was fun to visit. We laughed and talked while her kids played with air planes. I thought it was really fun. She also brought over a pie. I wanted to eat said pie. I didn’t get a chance because I left shortly after Mary did. I had a date with Katie Marie.
Katie and I went to Applebees and listened to tone deaf people try to sing. It was fun. The staff at Applebees are troupers! They have to put up with so much. Katie and I then came back to my house and watched RENT. We are old and were tired at 10. Neither one of us said anything until 2am.
June 13, 2012 Wednesday
Spencer and I went to breakfast at Village Inn. We also were able to eat pie. It was free. We got 2 different kinds so we could sample. It was awesome. I love Spencer and I love Pie. It was the best morning ever.
We then walked across the street to the mall. I had a bill to pay and needed new shoes. I don’t like shoes. I wouldn’t have bought new ones if it weren’t for the fact that I walked through the soles of the ones I was replacing. I didn’t know what I wanted. I walked to Spencer with a different shoe on each foot. I was going to have Him pick. He then replied with “What if I bought the other pair?” Spencer bought me shoes. They are blue, tan and white plaid. They are pretty much the coolest shoes I’ve ever owned. He picked good ones. The ones I bought are just black. They are kind of boring.
After we got back from the mall he needed to rest. I sat with him for about an hour before I went home. I wanted to sit with him. There was just has so much I needed to get done at home.
I broke my toilet brush cleaning my toilet. That was funny. I went to go buy a new toilet brush. My bathroom is clean. My bedroom is clean. My kitchen is clean. (The toilet brush was only used on the toilet)
A little before 6pm I went back over to Spencer’s house as per instructions given by Spencer earlier in the afternoon. It was Alexis’s birthday. She is 23. We all had dinner and watched her open presents. It was fun. I’m glad I was able to be there.
After dinner Spencer and I talked a bit before I came home. He and Sam gave me a ride. Sam is a good sport for driving us and Spencer was nice and sat by me in the back seat of the cab in the truck.
I could have posted this last night but I chose not to. I wanted to sit on my bum and do nothing.
June 14, 2012 Thursday
My back hurts. It hurt some yesterday. Today it is trying to kill me. RUDE! It made it hard to sit at my desk. I was glad to come home.
Spencer is out with his friends tonight. They are up in Salt Lake seeing another Alien movie… Boys….
I am really glad that Spencer gets to go out with his friends. I like that they go out. I wish my car was working so that we could go do things too.
My friend Andrew is getting married in 2 weeks. I am beyond jealous. He brought over his announcement. The pictures are cute. He is 6'4 ish 5 and she is 5'3. I love it! I cut his hair. It was needed. It looked like I'd shaved a cat. There was so much hair on the floor.
I have been at home doing really nothing. I have cleaned my house. I have made me dinner. Sadly in that order… I don’t want to clean again. I already did that once today. Ha!
This is my story. I have a few pictures from the last couple of days.

8 eggs
At work we have teamed up with some photographers. One of them came in to explain what corporate is up to.
This guy was awesome! We were all talking and he explained the "all your eggs in one basket" of dating.
You start with 10 eggs. You can have one egg in 10 baskets or 2 in 5. You just can't have more than 10 eggs. I really loved this and had to share.
1 egg - Your first date.
2 eggs- Your second date
3 eggs- Your third date
4 eggs- This is when you say you like the other person.
5 eggs- Physical touch other than lips. Arm around the shoulders or holding hands. Things like that.
You can still have 2 baskets with 5 in each. You get 10 eggs dating. Do with them what you will.
Kiss goodbye to one of the baskets!
6 eggs- Your first kiss. You only kiss one person at a time. So only one basket.
7 eggs- Constant kissing. When you are really getting to know the person. More than the fluff of eggs 1-3 . Also its the make out stage.
8 eggs- This is a big one. This Eggs is placed in the basket when you say "I love you"
9 eggs- This is marriage talk.
10 eggs- He bought the ring and it's on her finger.
Now I'm sure you're wondering why only 10 eggs in the dating game... The other 2 are when you're married.
11 eggs- Your wedding night
12 eggs- When she is pregnant.
I have 8 eggs.

- I flew to Utah for the day to go on a date with my friend Devon.
- I was part of a flash mob on BYU campus and at Walmart.
- I have played cards in the coolers at Walmart.
- I have went to more festivals and fairs in one summer than most people go to in a life time.
- I went to 5 concerts in 5 days.
- I have waltzed wearing a period Renn dress and a cape in the middle of a park when a Renn faire wasn't going on.
- I have walked the main street in almost every major town in Washington state.
- I have been to the top of almost ever lighthouse on Oregon coast.
- I swam in the Puget Sound
- I have ridden and elephant
I invite you to post a blog like this one too.

Spam... What they wont put in hotdogs...
So I don't really know how it started but it's now sort of a running joke. If I'm at the store and see spam, I'll take a picture of it and send it so Spencer saying "thinking of you"
He in turn keeps changing the background of my iPod to different adds for spam.
I really don't know how it started but it's funny. Granted neither of us would ever eat spam. It's just funny.

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.

I'm not dead
Just a quick update. To let you know I'm not dead.
I moved back to Provo. I moved on the 4th of July. Spencer was awesome and spent the afternoon/evening helping me move and then putting my furniture together. He's awesome. I love him. He's for keeps.
I no longer have Internet.
I got a new job! That's right I said "PEACE OUT!!!" to Craig's and now work at Schubock Jewelry in the Provo mall. I heart it mucho.
Spencer and I went to the nickel arcade Friday. It's like a kid casino. We went with his home teacher and his wife. It was fun. I like them.
I am currently sitting on a couch in Spencer's living room listening to him practice the piano. He's only been playing a year and he's awesome. It's one of my favorite things getting to listen to him practice. He's a keeper.
Oh and to end my post I'd like to say I DON'T LIKE JIMMY OR BILLY!!!

All rolled into one
So it's been a full week since I posted last. I don't love not having Internet. It ruins my life!
Memory Monday - My friend Katie and I had to make the diabetic dessert for the "Senior Saints" dinner when we were 16. We didn't have the baking splenda. We had about 500 packets that Katie stole from her dad. :) After opening all of the packets we were about 1/4 cup short. My mon said to just use sugar. Give the old people a treat. Katie and I weren't too big on killing people (yet) so we came up with a different plan.
We pooled our money and went to Denny's and bought a piece of pie. (The people at Shari's knew us. We didn't want band for life) We then stole all The splenda packets off the tables! Our waiter comes out and says "how come every time I turn around I hear sugar packets shufflin'?" Katie and I then emptied our pockets and explained what we were doing. He went in the back and brought out a big bucket of splenda packets and said we could take as much as we needed!
We didnt have money for a tip so we left a full subway card and Pass along card. Oh and just so you know, the brownies we made were gross. The moral of the story is USE SUGAR!
Tuesday - I again have no story. Work was rather uneventful. I didn't see Spencer and it was so hot out side I wanted to cry.
Wednesday - Dave (My boss) closed the shop with me. He worked the front desk while I cut hair. Things he'd claimed I'd done he had to do. Such as turn customers away because we were booked for the evening. He was sweet justice! He also said as we were cleaning up that he couldn't believe how great I was. Haha I don't know why he was so shocked but what ever. In the bulk email with the next work schedule he added
"Standing Ovation for Gina. As the only stylist for three hours in Orem I was amazed how many quality cuts she provided while providing a personal experience to each client. And the seven steps every time too! Big hand for Gina!"
Guess who got full time hours again! Better yet, guess who's quitting! OH THAT'S ME! Muhahaha!!!
Thursday - ......... I don't know
Friday - Spent the evening with Spencer. I sure do heart him.
Saturday - We went to Ikea in the morning. Then had a fun date that night. We went to dinner and then a late showing of Cars 2. It was really fun.
Sunday -
Good Idea- going on vacation
Bad Idea- Not telling all your kids and also not having cell coverage. RUDE! (Dad, Guilty!)
Good Idea- Ikea
Bad Idea- not renting a uhaul when going
Good Idea- fun dates with Spencer
Bad Idea- there is no bad idea for this one
Good Idea- 70 degrees with overcast
Bad Idea- This 90 degrees with no clouds crap we've been having! (...oh how I miss Washington...)
Good Idea- packing all your things up before you move.
Bad Idea- wanting to move now because you are living out of boxes... (I was overly motivated when packing)
Good Idea- taking naps
Bad Idea- wearing pants (I don't know why I think pants are a bad idea. I just don't like wearing them! Viva No Pants!)
Good Idea- having a night light when you're scared of the dark.
Bad Idea- taking down all of your glow in the dark stars because your moving. (I know I'm 25 and that I shouldn't be scared of the dark but my room is scary now. I can't wait to move so I'll have my night light again!)
This was my week!
Memory Monday - My friend Katie and I had to make the diabetic dessert for the "Senior Saints" dinner when we were 16. We didn't have the baking splenda. We had about 500 packets that Katie stole from her dad. :) After opening all of the packets we were about 1/4 cup short. My mon said to just use sugar. Give the old people a treat. Katie and I weren't too big on killing people (yet) so we came up with a different plan.
We pooled our money and went to Denny's and bought a piece of pie. (The people at Shari's knew us. We didn't want band for life) We then stole all The splenda packets off the tables! Our waiter comes out and says "how come every time I turn around I hear sugar packets shufflin'?" Katie and I then emptied our pockets and explained what we were doing. He went in the back and brought out a big bucket of splenda packets and said we could take as much as we needed!
We didnt have money for a tip so we left a full subway card and Pass along card. Oh and just so you know, the brownies we made were gross. The moral of the story is USE SUGAR!
Tuesday - I again have no story. Work was rather uneventful. I didn't see Spencer and it was so hot out side I wanted to cry.
Wednesday - Dave (My boss) closed the shop with me. He worked the front desk while I cut hair. Things he'd claimed I'd done he had to do. Such as turn customers away because we were booked for the evening. He was sweet justice! He also said as we were cleaning up that he couldn't believe how great I was. Haha I don't know why he was so shocked but what ever. In the bulk email with the next work schedule he added
"Standing Ovation for Gina. As the only stylist for three hours in Orem I was amazed how many quality cuts she provided while providing a personal experience to each client. And the seven steps every time too! Big hand for Gina!"
Guess who got full time hours again! Better yet, guess who's quitting! OH THAT'S ME! Muhahaha!!!
Thursday - ......... I don't know
Friday - Spent the evening with Spencer. I sure do heart him.
Saturday - We went to Ikea in the morning. Then had a fun date that night. We went to dinner and then a late showing of Cars 2. It was really fun.

The crazieness is genetic
These are my parents. Kent and Charlet Anderson. They had 8 children. Wendi, Ryan, Heather, Dedra, Garen, Adam, Gina and Kyle. I have gathered a few pictures that I like of me and my siblings. The pictures are in random order. These are some good times.
Kyle got the chicken pox when he was 17. Those are pox not zits. We were on our way home from selling a parade. I think I had a date that night. That's why the rollers.
This was a dinner at Wendi's house. I really have no explanation for this picture.
I was in Kansas City with Dedra to see Wicked! (SOOO GOOD) We're Pretty.
Kyle is a Civil War junky. His beard is eyeshadow. I drew it on myself. :)
At a festival. Dedra and I are just awesome.
Dedra was trying to drown me. She's rude!
At Ensign Ranch.
Garen was in town because he had to go to the Hospital about a heart thing he has/had. After a day of being poked he came to Mom's house. Dedra, Garen and I played with the camera for about a half hour. FUN!
After we shipped Kyle off to the MTC Dedra and I drove for 3 hours to have dinner with Adam. We then drove home. haha
Same Dinner Trip... I don't know...
Family Pictures! The 2005 Edition. Garen, Adam and I. I heart them.

You'll hear people say "they are a product of their environment." Truer words were never spoken about me and my siblings. We are all loud, crazy, funny, AWESOME people. I heart them Mucho!
