'Cause I'm a Blonde- ya, ya, ya!

It's been a good week & it's only Wednesday! I finally got my NASTY roots fixed (since swimming lessons are pretty much done)!! YAY! I love what she did for me! I finally got my bangs the way I wanted them- I was always nervous about cutting them too short, but that's what I wanted... I just didn't know it!! And I was lucky enough to get into my anatomy & physiology class for this semester; Somebody dropped out or didn't pay their tuition, either way I thank them kindly (even though I had to wait 3 HOURS in line to get a spot)!! So yeah, school starts Monday & I'm really excited to go back! That's progress for me because I felt like I'd rather slit my wrists than take another class this summer, so the break must have done me good :)! That's all for now... new hair, school's starting, & life is just GOOD!

«« I Spoke Too Soon »»

So, I was all excited that Anthon was home, thinking that was how it would be from here on out... NOPE! He left for Show Low today to work with Gerald for 2 weeks :(! Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful that his family is always willing to help him when he needs work, I just wish he could find a job HERE so we could actually, oh I don't know,... LIVE TOGETHER! He had a few leads down here for work, but either the people never called him back or they decided they couldn't use him after all. Hopefully once he gets going with DPS we'll have more consistent time together (which is still, at least, a month away), but until then... I'm just going CRAZY!!! Sorry, for my whining post... I just needed to vent a little to someone other than Anthon (poor guy has enough stress) :).

ÜG£¥, ÜG£¥, ÜG£¥...

WOW! Who woulda' thought...

Teaching swimming 4 days a week + good 'ole Arizona sun =

REALLY ÜG£¥ sun spots & tan lines all over my back !!

& I use sun block every day!!

Just thought I'd share my pain with you all :)

Thank Heaven It's Over!!!!

"Did you do this??"

Celebrating his return!

Anthon made it home (for good) early Thursday morning, around 4AM. It has been fabulous having him home & I'm so thankful that our lives are getting back to "normal". We have about a month before everything turns chaotic, but at least we have some time to veg together before then (between my last 3 weeks of swim lessons, that is)!

What a Day!!

I thought work would be somewhat nice today (rain usually = slow day), but... NO! First of all, my manager is on vacation & it seems like everyone I work with turns RETARDED when he's gone- like they forget how to do their jobs. Second of all, 2 people didn't show up, so we had 1 teller in the drive up, 1 in the merchant room, & lucky me... solo on the front line. Then, at around 2pm our computer system completely shut down, so we had to run all the transactions by hand- Aleia, please tell me you feel my pain!! So yeah, work sucked!

But, once I got home my niece Bonnie made me an ice cream sundae & made it all better :)! She's been staying with me for a few weeks now & it's been a lot of fun... she's a big help around the house & helps me not be so lonely! Speaking of no being so lonely... I found out tonight that Anthon's coming home this weekend!!! YEAH!!!!

Tag! I'm it... Thanks Gwen

I was tagged & here's how it works...
Do you have a story? One that makes you say "Wow," and it makes you feel good to reflect on it, to remember it, and to possibly share it? I do! I thought we might like sharing them, so here is one of mine:


I started to like Anthon as more than a friend during the summer of 2001, when he held my hand on our stake's pioneer treck. I was hoping it would blossom into a summer romance... I couldn't have been more wrong! Not only did I not get to see him for the rest of the summer, I didn't even talk to him until school started & even then it was like we were back to square one (just friends- even though I had a major crush on him)! I decided to ask him to MORP (girls ask guys dance) in November 2001 & we had a great time, but at the end of the night, he hugged me goodbye & RAN into his house! It was exactly one month later when I was driving back to school for practice & it started to snow... It was inspirational! Looking around at the "winter wonderland" I became even more twitter-pated & said to myself, "I'm going to kiss Anthon! Tonight, in the snow, it'll be perfect... NO BUTS ABOUT IT!" After practice, I sat in the hallway waiting for him to come out of the locker room, then I walked casually with him out to the parking lot. I chickened out at first- We said goodbye, I walked to my car & he started walking to his. Then I just stopped, turned around, ran toward him, spun him around, & kissed him... The BEST THING I'VE EVER DONE!!!! Six years later, here we are! This behavior is completely opposite of my normal personality, I promise... But I thank heaven it happened!!

Ok, Now I tag: Aleia, Heather, & Katie!! Let's hear some stories that define you!

Wedding Weekend

The closest thing we have to a family picture!

2 Hotties- Evan & Anthon!

I know about 90% of the people who read my blog where there this weekend, but I figured I'd post some cute shots anyway! For the other 10% who may not know, Sherry is my sister-in-law & she got married this weekend to McKay Mills in the Snow Flake Temple. All the guys pretending to punch the groom are her brothers... They're playful like that :)!

C.A.L.I.F.O.R.N.I.A!

'Ore The Land of The Free...

Happy 4th of July everybody! I'm in good 'ole California (got here lasat night) & Anthon is getting suited up for a FUN day in Santa Monica! We're going to hang out on the pier, ride some rides, eat LOTS of food, & of course lay out on the beach! I'll post lots of pictures once I get home (if I can get my stud of a hubby to take some with me)!! Anyway, I hope everyone has a great day! Remember how lucky we are to live in this country, even if you don't agree with how it's run, we still enjoy the freedoms of being a citizen & that alone is amazing to me! I am SO thankful for the men who have fought (& died) to keep this country free & safe.... AND The Home of The Brave!!
