Gotta Love Family!!

If anyone knows anyone in my family you know that whenever we get together good times pursue (and crazy ones at that too)!! I am lucky enough to live close to my parents and little brother and sister, one sister and her husband, and another brother and his girlfriend. My littlest sister is a cheerleader at Elk Grove High School so we usually get together to go to her games and watch them. And of course we take fun pictures!! Then we try to have as much fun as possible afterwards!! Just take a look and see.!!

LIFE (or something like that)!!

The regional YSA group here decided to have an activity where we got to play a real life version of the board game LIFE!! I have to admit that it was a blast!! You started off at the MTC where you wrote a letter to a soldier in Iraq. Then you had to answer questions to see how much in debt you'd be for going to college. You went to college (mad libs) and then graduated and got a job (roll of the dice. I was an accountant. Go figure). Then you went to a bachelor or bachelorette party (where you made your bridal veil or tie and the girls got a ring pop ring). Then you got married. You didn't know before who were going to end up with, you just walked out a door and there he was. I luckily go paired with one of the goofiest guys in my ward named Gordo!! We had a blast!! We got married in Australia. Then we went to have kids. We rolled 6. Then flipped a coin to get 4 boys and 2 girls. We got to decorate paper cups and name them. All our kids had names of tv stars (shaun, sam, i can't remember the other two boys, ugly betty and veronica mars). Then you went and built a house. Then you got a calling. Then off to Lehi's dream, work out room (where you took your kids for a stroll), five year anniversary room, date room, and family home evening room (we played a version of jenga where you had to ask a certain question i you pulled a certain block). Then to the end. All the while you are making stops and getting paid and also receiving blessings. It was soo much fun!! Definite fun date idea of activity!! Ask me if you want more details!!

When the family gets together!!

RENO 911!!

So my sister Mindy and I decided to go to Reno for a one night stay!! Okay. So my sister Mindy got a free one night stay in Reno and her husband couldn't go with her, so she invited me!! Whoopee!! We stayed at the El Dorado in a really nice room. We had fun eating at the buffet, taking pictures, watching movies, swimming, winning $85 in the penny slot machine (okay. So only I won $85. Mindy didn't win anything), and just relaxing!! It was fun to get away with my sister and just have some time off from life and the madness of it all for awhile. It was also good to have time off before I started my full time job as a personal aid for an autistic boy in 4th grade and then an part time job as an afternoon director at a montessori school. You can see that life has greatly increased in hecticness!! But its better to be busy than bored I always say!! Hehehe!
