Tribute To My Three Best Friends

Over the last couple of days I have had the opportunity to talk to my three best friends. And it got me thinking about how much they mean to me, or the years!

My First friend has been by far the longest friendship I have ever had!!! We met when we were six We are on 18 years for friendship!! WOW!! She moved in across the street from me, her next door neighbour had a big dog and he introduced us to each other, I remember asking her if she wanted a popsicle, Random I know. We were inseparable for a long time. I was so sad when we found out she wouldn't be going to school with me when I was younger too :( She was in the catholic school division and I was in the public school division. Right after school we would call each other and ask if the other could play. When we started it get older we thought we couldn't use the word play, it would be hang out!!! We would play from right after school till 5 her dinner time and then 8 her bed time. Summer were the best We would play from 8am till lunch, then just after lunch till 5pm dinner time, and then after dinner till 9ish, or all night if had a sleep over. We played Lego most of the time, but other times we played barbies or jumped on the tramp, but most of the time it would be Legos. I think we had the best childhood ever :D We even worked at taco time together in high school, and then in our secondary education we worked at little ceasars together.

As we grow up and started to go to middle school we grow apart a little, and more in to high school. But we were always best friends and we both knew it. This best Friend name is Nicole, she has been the bestest of best friends. She was always there for me even when I feel like I was not there for her. She loves soccer and always has, she always had soccer around my birthday time so she was never really there for them, and it also happens to be her dad's birthday as well. But I remember the first time she was able to come to one of my birthday parties, I was so excited about it, I wrote it down in my journal. it was my 14 birthday I believe. She has also always worked hard for what she has and I love that trait about her. I could go on and on about her, she has been in my life for a few years now and i would not have traded her for anyone. Nicole thanks for been my first best friend Even when I feel like I wasn't a very good one to you :D I love you and miss you Nicole!!!



My second best friend we met through her brother, she really didn't like me at first and then she finally warmed up to me :D We met the summer before our first year or college. It didn't even happen to be in Lethbridge where we both live, it happened to be in Calgary at the Calgary Stampede and then we didn't hang out until August 12 when we happened to go up to Beaver mines to go quading and watch the meteor showers. She was mad we come up, lol!!! Then she got in to a car wreak and didn't have a car any more!!! So she couldn't go hang out with her other side of town friends any more since they didn't have vehicles either :D So she had to get to know ME :D And then the story blossomed from there. We have been to Arizona, Mexico, Disneyland, and Utah all which were fun times. come to think of it she has been there for a lot of my first time things like Calgary stampede, quading, Arizona, Mexico, Disneyland, and thunder in the valley, and summer sale in the summer of 2008 in Chandler Arizona, and I am sure there are many others. This best friends name is Kaila. She taught me that if you want something bad enough you will do anything to get it, like go to school even though you really didn't want to but it was the only way so she could work for her parents!!! She hated it but she did it so she could work at the place she loves to work at :D I love you and miss you too Kaila.



Okay my third best frient happen to take me away from my other two best friends. I met him during the summer of 2008 in Chandler Arizona well Kaila and I were doing summer sales there. It really was not love at first site, the first thing I thought about him when I met him was I couldn't date him and he though wow she is crazy. I had just come home from a week long trip to Tennessee at the end of may 2008 with my sister and mom, and wow excited to be back but sad i had to leave them. I was excited to tell Kaila and everyone about my trip. He had moved into the guys apartment when I was gone to Tennessee. I then started to get to know him when we would go to Queen Creek to sell, we sold Pest Control. We started to spend more and more time together. At this time I really wasn't doing well in sale and started to get really homesick. I guess you could say he was my knight in shining armor. He really was and is the best thing that could have happened to me. So we met may 23, 2008 the day I got home from tennesse. We started dating June 13, 2008. In the first week of dating I knew this was the man I was going to marry I feel for him so fast, he was GREAT. But I started to suck at selling and really didn't want to be there anymore, so I had prayed and fasted and felt like i needed to go home a week after we started to date. So we talked about what we were going to do. We decided we would see were it would go. He decided he would come up to Utah with me to meet some of my family this was the end of June. During this time he had gone with my sister to pick out rings, I didn't know he was getting a ring. July 1, 2008 (Canada Day) he asked me to marry him :D It was great. and then he left to go back to Arizona on July 3, 2008 and me back to Canada. We were apart of just under 11 months of our engagement, me in Canada and him in Arizona!!! But it was the best thing for us. WE got married on May 13, 2009 in Bountiful Utah. This best friends name in David, Which also happens to be my eternal companion now :D Even though he has taken we away from my other two best friends I love him very much and always will.



I am grateful for my Three best friends who have been there through different times of my life, and I know they will continue to be there through many other part of my life!!! I HAVE THE GREAT BEST FRIENDS IN THE WORLD. I love you all very much and miss two of you a lot....

Another Week

Well The week Started off with a Hoilday, which meant no school and David had to go to work!! Tuesday David finally started school!!! It was so nice to have him home!!! He came with me to watch them put my bottom braces on, The Orthodontist here puts the top and bottom brace on a month apart from each other. Which was actually quit nice, I could still eat!! They hurt a little when the bottom ones got put on but other then that I enjoyed having them put on one at a time!!! Since I have experienced both!! David thought it was interesting to watch them put them on. I really can't wait to have my perfect smile I have always wanted, but never got till now :) My sister always had the straight teeth and I was always jealous. But I guess I shouldn't complain I got other talents that they never had :D I LOVE MY SISTERS <3

Wednesday David was back at work gone for 16 hours!! I guess I will explain he wakes up at 3am to get ready for work. 4 am his ride picks him up. 5:20 am they arrive at work. 5:40 am they are on the bus to the truck shop. 6 am arrive at truck shop. 6 am - 6 pm they work at the shop. 6:20 pm they get on the bus to go to the first drop off place. 6:45 pm he is on his away home. 7:35 pm he get home. I have dinner on the table ready to eat. We eat. I do dishes. David cleans up. 9 pm start getting ready for bed. and then it starts all over again.

Thursday it rained all night the house creeked and cracked!! David got up and ready for work. He left at 3:55 am. I couldn't sleep so I got up at 4 am. I was going to visit some ladies I go to church with at 10 am so I decided since I was up I was going to bake some cookies. Well it started off with smartie (smarties are candy covered chocolate, Canadian thing) cookies I finished those and still was not tired so I made Peanut butter cookies. Then I was like okay still not tired so I made brownies. As the brownies were in the oven I was looking for other recipes and decided to make apple spice cake. at this time i was about 7:30 am when the spice cake finished in the oven. I had even washed all the dishes I had dirtied. at this time I decided I could have a nap shortly have 8 am went back to bed, 9:20 am got up to get ready to go visit my ladies, it was fun I enjoy going to visit with them, it gets me out of the house!! I also got home and had my daily chat with my sister which happens at about 11 am monday - friday!!! I then got home and decided to sew so I sewed cleaned up my mess after wards and then started dinner!!

Friday David didn't go to work :D He doesn't have to go in on Friday, it is just an opportunity to make more money. So we organized things, filed things, and cleaned up things. We watched movies and just hung out, it was nice :D Also got a call from our bishop asking to have an interview with me for sunday.
Saturday did more organizing and got my hair cut, but a good couple of inches off. Went shopping for food... and just hung out I love hanging out with David. I love being home with him :D I almost forgot to write about our CRAZY dinner, So I didn't feel like cooking so David said he would. He started the oven to pre heat it. About 5 minutes later it started to smell funny!! So I was like what the crap are you burning, I let you cook and you try to burn the house down... blah blah blah. Well I find out later that he was roasting a scorpion for dinner. A scorpion had got in to our oven since it was warm and well it slowly cook :D Good thing David found it and not me!!! It was the first one in a couple of month too, it most have come in with the rain.

Sunday went for my interview I was asked to be on the enrichment committee. Went to church. then went over to a friends house for dinner and watched half of chitty chitty bang bang. I have never seen it and they told me I had to see it. IT is a long movie two and half hours long!!! So we are going to have to have another date night to finish the rest of it!!!

Any ways that was our week, I know every exciting eh? I said I would update ones a week so I am going to try to live up to my promise. We really don't have an exciting life right now!!!

One of those Weekend


It all start Friday January the 15, 2010!! David had been looking forward to Friday all week long, he didn't go in to work, which was nice. The only reason He was so looking forward to Friday was...... A TOOL SALE!!!!! Yes you heard me right a tool sale, that was in Mesa about a two and a half hour drive from us. He has been planning what he was going to buy all week long, he was really excited. As for me I really wasn't
Friday we woke up and I really wasn't feeling well, I had a stomach ache and just felt sick. I didn't want to go to the Valley I just want to stay home and Relax!! But I also didn't want to stay home by myself. I really hadn't seen David all week so I wanted to spend time with him. So we got ready and left for Mesa.

So we got to Mesa and the tool store, and started to look around!!! I was noticing that some of the tools David wanted were not on sale, I was like what, what the crap did we come out here for then. So I said David let me look at the sales Flyer. I read "WEEKEND SIDE WALK SALE" just underneath that "January 16, 17, &18!!!!" I looked at him and said David it is the 15th today. The sale doesn't start till tomorrow!!!!! So he bought some of the tool that were not going to be on sale and then decided to go for lunch. We walked around the mall, got food, bought more tool this time from Sears. Then we went and saw "Leap Year" it was a cute movie. We were going to rent a hotel but the cheapest one we could find was $90 so we slept in the Hotel parking lot in our car... With no pillows, no blankets, and no bathroom!!! It was cold and I was already no feeling well, and I was GRUMPY!!! All this for a Stupid tool sale!! The things you do for love!!!

Then the next morning woke up at 6 am went to the tool sale, It was the same lady we had checked out with the day before, and I think she had compassion on me, so she gave us another $40 off the already sale price!! Then we drove around to the back of the store, and picked up our tool box in our 2010 Mitsubishi Lance. Lets just say I am pretty sure the guys were laughing at us. I was not happy either, since the tool box got to sit in the front seat of our car for the 2 and half hour car ride home!!! I don't do well in back seats.


42" Side Cabinet

The one that is bright red is the one we fit in to our car barely..

Well the end of the story we make it home safe and sound with more tools and a tool box. So much for our Relaxing Weekend, eh!!!

Very excited though that David starts back to school tomorrow :D

Here is to a New Year

Started the New Year with my loving Husband and His family (the Stewarts) I did a new tradition with him family banging pots to ring in the New Year.

I have been thinking a lot about what I am going to change about this year, or how I am going to make it better. I will say I am somewhat happy to have last year done and over with :) But like I
said in my last post it was good year, and I learn a lot of things.

The number one thing I want to change about this year, I want a better relationship with my Heavenly Father, because I am his daughter and he my Father. Last year we started to lack a little in our couple prayers and scripture study, and I could tell I started to get a little down. This year I really don't want to lack there I want to become better. I can't wait for the temple here to open so we can go more frequently, only a ten minute drive, compared to a two and a half hour drive. I am also really excited to learn out of the Gospel Principles book in RS, I get to go to RS and learn with the adults in our ward and not teach the sunbeams (3/4 year olds). Not teaching our Sunbeams is a bitter sweet, But I am really excited to go and socialize and be spiritual uplifted with the women of the ward.


Number 2 I want to be able to keep my house in a clean and some what tidy order, the first thing to help with this is to get David's tools and toolboxes our of my front living room. I have since the first of the year had my kitchen clean and tidy before we go to bed, it is so nice to wake up to a clean kitchen :) I have also when done with laundry I have folded and put it away right after I am done doing it :) I have really enjoyed having a clean house, other then I find my self getting bored faster :(

Number 3 learn to forgive people and really mean it. I sometimes have a hard time with this one, not so much as forgiving them, but figuring out how to love them afterwards. Last year was a hard one with this one, but I know I have to slowly get over it and look for the Lords help. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ Forgave all and loves all, I know I can one day do the same. It will be hard and it might not happen completely this year, next year, or even ten years from now, but at least I am going to start the road to someday love them who I have forgiven.


Number 4 Continue to love David even with all his faults :) Like not cleaning the bathroom, picking up his dirty clothes from the living room, or his tickling me :) He really does not have that many faults they are more like annoying habits, lol!!! I feel in love with him our first week of dating I never want to fall out of love with him. David is a GREAT husband and one day will make a GREAT daddy!!! I have seen what Divorce can do to families, and I do not want it to happen to mine!!!



Number 5 try to do more service for others

Number 6 Learn something new

Number 7 LOVE DAVID MORE TODAY THEN I DID YESTERDAY OR THE DAY BEFORE THAT <3


Number 8 LOVE my family more

Number 9 be more supportive for my friends and family, I can not receive personal revelation for them, I can only receive it for myself.


Number 10 I'm just going to try really hard to be a better person!!!
