Well life has been a little crazy lately! I am keeping busy with school and work; I am working anywhere from 30 to 40 hours a week! I am really enjoying my work though.
Christmas was great! I love being able to spend time with my family! I had to work Christmas Day in the afternoon, but was able to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at home. I am so blessed to be a member of this wonderful church and know the real meaning of Christmas and the 'reason for the season'. It is such a blessing to have this wonderful knowledge of eternal life...as long as I do my part. I am grateful for the family I have been blessed with, they are AMAZING! They have done so much for me, for which I am truly grateful!
School has started (an entire month ago!) and is in full swing! I am only taking 6 credits so I am not too stressed this semester. I am loving my classes, which is a great feeling!
Well that is the small update! I will try and get pictures, but words are all I have right now!
ps. I went to the doctor today and I have an ear infection!! Blah! zero fun!

California and an Update
Well life has been a 'little' crazy since my last post. Since then I have been to California (for Thanksgiving) and back, moved to Logan, registered for classes, paid tuition (barf), played, got the house ready for Christmas, played with my sweet Evva, sent packages, went to my sisters COLLEGE GRADUATIONS!!, received much needed letters, and some other things that can't or won't cross my mind. :)
Here are some pictures from California:
California was a great little trip/vacation!! It was only Tyson, my parents and I, but it was still good. We went to Pinole where my mom's brother lives. Pinole is just across the bay from San Francisco. It was fun to spend time with lauren and Nicole, and of course Tio tito and Aunt Sharon. I wish we could see them more though!
Me and my AMAZING Mother! She is so great to me, I
love her so much and truly and deeply appreciate all that
she does for me.
Me, Lauren and her lover boy Chris. Love them both!!
Me and Lauren, love her :)
Nicole, Lauren, and I. I miss them so much! Wish we
lived closer!
At Gabby's home, all of us (minus everyone that
wasn't there)!
Tio Tirso, my mom, Tio Tito (my mom's uncle and brother)
Cousins!
Lauren and Chris
The most nasty bathroom ever! We went to Coit Tower,
which is actually really cool and historic. But dang, the
bathroom was so sick! So we took a picture! :)
Me and Mariana(Laurens friend, love her) at the Golden
Gate Bridge lookout.
Lauren and I at the AT&T Park, where the Giants Play!
It was like 10:00PM and my tio asked us if we wanted to
go into the city. We just couldn't pass it up!
Me and Lauren, Again! :)
The Spread!! Complete with arroz con pollo. (Rice with
Chicken-it is a delicious Honduran dish!)
Aunt Sharon, Me, Mom, Tio Ricky
Me, Tio Ricky, Tyson
Me, Ricky, Tyson
This is for my best friend Matt! He is serving in Riverside
California, which is near Sacramento. This is the road
that the mission home is on...where I send all his letters!
So naturally I just had to take a picture!
Until Next time,
Love, Me

Feelings of Gratitude
As I sit here pondering the events that have taken place in the last few months I am simply in awe. The way life can change so quickly, the way the many ways the Lords shows his love for his children, the way prayer can quickly soothe your aching heart, the way your sister knows just what to say, the way a letter can quickly brighten your day, simply again, I am in awe. I am so grateful for all that I have in my life. I am so grateful to have the knowledge of this wonderful gospel. I am grateful for my wonderful family. I am grateful for friends who will so sincerely give a listening ear. I love it all!
My Twins
The first weekend in October I was able to take an entire weekend off and go stay with my twins; Candace and Claire. Although, now that they are both married It is Candace and Troy and Claire and Josh. But I am so grateful for them!! They are the best of friends, I only took like two pictures and I haven't uploaded them yet so here is and old one of us.
(Candace and Troy Wedding Day)
Anyways, I am so luck to have them in my life! I love them so very much! We went to the BYU/USU football game and Yes I did where my Cougar attire. :) haha. I was able to stay one night at each of their apartments. I love beingable to catch up with them and just talk about 'sweet nothings'. I miss them dearly but am excited every chance I get to see them or talk to them.
Pains of the Heart
It was October 17, I had just gotten off of work and I got the call. It was my mom calling to tell me that one of my dear friends had been killed in a car accident the night before. It was the worst feeling I have ever felt in my entire life. It was like my heart had been ripped out and thrown into the sea. I felt like it was a lie, some cruel trick she was playing on me, but I know that my mom would never do something like that. So I had to believe it. All I could think about was how her husband was going to go on. And to make it worse, she was five months pregnant. As the days went by tears would fill my eyes all day as I would think about her husband, John. I cannot even imagine losing the two things most important in life. Having the gospel only makes it a little more easy, as hard as it still is. Stephanie is an amazing young woman! I know that she is working wonders on the other side. She always had a way of brightening your day with her beautiful smile. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her in the years to come. But what a rejoicing day it will be when she is again reunited with her husband. I am so grateful for this gospel and for the peace it brings to ones soul.
(John and Steph)
How lucky am I to have known such an outstanding girl?? I love you Steph!
New Job
I am now working as a CNA in Logan! Yahoo!! I work at The Legacy House, which is an Assisted Living place. And ya know what I thoroughly enjoy it. :) I enjoy being able to take care of people who cannot help themselves. Here we have residents with all abilities to hardly any. Some people we just take out their garbage and others we toilet them and have to get them dressed. Most of the dependent residents are in what we call the Cottages. The Cottages are our alzheimer's unit. It is always in interesting day when you work those shifts! :) But I really am enjoying my new job and the people I get to work with.
Moving to Logan
Yes! Alas, it is happening! I have found an apartment, a roommate and we signed the contract! AHHH!!! It is all scary and exciting and new...all at the same time! :) I am moving in with a girl from High School, she is a year younger but she is fantastic! Jodi is her name and we are killer excited! We will be living here...
This is our apartment well not ours, but this is what they look like! :) Happy Days!! Move-In date is December 12. Yippee Skippee!!! Well other than these happenings not to much has been going on. I am excited to move to Logan and not have to travel the Canyon anymore! This past weekend I spent Friday night at Tat and Rob's then Saturday we went to Thanksgiving Point to watch our little cousin Dance at the Gingerbread Festival (which was fabulous all on its own). Then we continued down to Provo for my aunt's baby shower. Here is a picture...

Until Next time....
(hopefully it won't be three months)
