Last week in Florida...... Maybe

I have said that it was my last week in FL a lot. So maybe this time it will be true. But I never know. I has a very busy week. I went to church in Orlando and hung out with the girls that afternoon. Sarah talked me into going to Epcot on Monday. It was the flower and garden festival so there we many pretty flowers all over the place.



Sarah and I also did the new Kim Possible game at EPCOT. It was really fun, you get to go to a country in EPCOT and try a solve a problem and the "cell phone" gives you the clue and shows you where to go. We went to France and Norway.
We were really excited to get the "cell phone"
We all so played princess
As mom said when she saw this pic she says that I play princess a lot.

My parents got to Florida on Wednesday. It's time to talk grandma back to NY. So we went to the temple on Thursday. I love going to the temple. It's a great way to have a great feeling of peace. Friday was a recoup day for the parents and I went to Busch Gardens with Maribel . It was so much fun. I loved seeing all the animals, that was my favorite part.
Saturday was a chill day, then that night we went to see Elder Jeffrey R. Holland. It was awesome to see an servant of the lord. He had some great inspiration and in site on the things that we need to do in our lives. I learned a great deal of things that I need to work on. On Sunday mom and dad dropped me off at the airport so I could go to Seattle and then they left for NY.
So I start the next adventure of my life for the next couple of months.

Utah

So I have been home for a little over a week so I thought that it was time that I wrote about it. I had a great time in Utah. It was great to get a way from Florida for a little while. Amy and Chuck's weeding was great. It was great to see lots of people from Florida that live in Utah now. I love those 2 and I am glad that they have started there life together.
Mom and Dad met me in Utah after the wedding. It was there 1st time in Utah and they had a great time.I am grateful that Joel got them to come out even thought that dad did not want to come out in the middle of sap season. He bladed it all on me that he was losing time to make syrup, but I now that he got over it and had a great time. We went to temple square and spent the day there. I have been to Utah before but there was not as much time to look around and take in the sights last time so that was great to be able to enjoy the sights this time. We went to the Joseph Smith move and I cried the entire time.Which if you know me is not a hard task to do. It opened up my eyes and I could really grasp what really happened back then. I was grateful that I had the opportunity to see that movie. We also got a tour of the conference center, that place is huge. Our tour guide was great and the tour was like 1 1/2 hours long.He was telling us everything about anything that was in the building. It was great to hear all the stories behind the history of everything that went into the building of the building and why things are the way they are.

We also went to Park City and road around and saw the Olympic sites. It was really cool to see all that. Park city is a pretty place.
Hey I even saw the school that High School Musial was filmed at.

We also went to the This is the Place site. It was great to see the place that it all started



We also went up into to the Canons and stopped at Sundance. The mountains are really pretty.

We even got to go to the ER. It was a trip that was not fun but the trip into the canons was a little much for Dad. He got affected by the altitude so he just need some more oxygen. The oxygen is a little thin in Utah. Utah is a lot higher than NY is. We did not even think of the difference. So he spent all day Sunday just resting. Next time they go to Utah they we spend some more time at relaxing and not so much on the go. Dad is still willing to go back which is a good sign. Well that was all the happened in Utah and It was a great trip.

Wedding's

So I have come to realize that I really do love going to wedding's. I use to not like going because they would make me sad to think that I am not even close to getting married, or maybe my day will never come . But my day will come when I am not even looking. Weddings make me very happy and I was so glad that I got to go to Chuck and Amy's wedding. I have gone though the whole relationship with them and it has been a great experience. I am so happy for the both of them.


After going to the sealing in the Temple it makes me realize how important Temple Weddings are. There is a special spirit that happens when your are in there. It makes me want to try harder and not saddle for anything less. I am so happy for Chuck and Amy they deserve the best. They are great and fun loving people.

School....

So everyday I drive by the high school here in Zephryhills, FL and they never seem to be there very long. I remember when I went to school I was there from like 8am to 3pm. Here they seem to go in at 9pm and leave by like 2pm. What is up with that. There are always cops outside the school to back sure the people that are driving by follow the speed limit of 15mph in the school zone. If you are even going over by like 2 miles they will get you. Its crazy to me.
This is what I blog about when I have nothing else to write about.

Y.M.C.A.........


I joined the YMCA yesterday. YEAH for me to get back into the habit of working out again. So lately I have not been happy with the way that I have been treating myself so I decided that I need to get off my butt and do something about it. So I did and the best part is when I go back on the ship I can cancel my membership without a plenty and I can start my membership back up when I am off the ship. The have awesome classes that they teach. Today was my 1st day at working out at the center. I did water aerobics, it was great. But it also kicked my trash. Who knew that you would get a hard core workout in the pool. They have a state of the art workout room. The best part about it was there were lots of older people there working out. They are so cute. I am excited about getting back on track.

Temple ...

I went to the Temple the other day with my parents. I love going to the temple. It is great to be able spend that time with my mom and dad. When I was in NY I went the Palmyra Temple. It was awesome to get to go. I loved it. My parents don't get to go that much because it is 3 hours away. When they come to visit FL they always go to the temple because its only 1 1/2 hours away after there 3 hour flight. LOL.

Time in NEW YORK........

WOW....... it has been for ever since I have blogged. I am such a slacker. I have busy and bored over the last 2 months that I have spent in NY. I have relearned a lot about myself and my family. My family is definitely crazy when we are all together. I learned that I can still drive in the snow and that I am not a fan of it. I also am not a fan of the cold.
I am very grateful to have been home for the holidays. I have not been able to spend the holidays at home or even have the time off for the holidays in 3 1/2 years. I was great to not have to worry about work or anything else while being home. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, we as a family get together and go to my grandmothers and over eat turkey and just hang out as a family. I love it. At this time I was also again reminded of the many blessing that I have been giving. I often sometimes forget to be grateful for what the lord had blessed me with.
Christmas was a blast this year. I did not get that much in the present department but that's ok. I would rather give gifts then get them in return, and I don't have antwhere to put anything that I would get. It all started off with a church Christmas party. My parent are the Activity co-chairs so I got to help with the planing. My 1st task was to help my dad with a homemade fireplace.

This was the out come. Not to bad.
My dad had come up with idea of Christmas morning. So everyone ( even the adults) came in there PJ's. The kids were going to be a train and they where to stop at different Christmas stations. The train because most of the TV Christmas movies have a train going around the tree. So that is why the kids were lined up in a train. At each station the kids learned the real meaning behind Christmas.

This is the kids starting the train and my dad showing them what to do.


The kids and the adults had a lot of fun. It made me remember what is was like to be a kid around Christmas. It made me want to be a kid again and not have the worries of the world and growing up.

I am grateful for the time that I got to spend with my 3 year old niece. It was the most time that I got to spend with here since she was born because I have lived in FL.

She is so Cute. I love this girl.

The best part about being home was that I did not have work to hard. I did have a job on the side doing computer work but it got boring really fast. I now know that I don't want to be stuck in an office all day looking at a computer. So I have come to the conclusion that I going to go back to FL where it is warm and I don't have to deal with snow.
