This is Some Nasty Soup..

Today is my last and final day of this stinkin cleanse! HALLELUJAH! I have never been more excited to eat normal food. Yesterday I was thinking that I could eat chicken and veggies for the rest of my life and that this cleanse could continue forever and I'd be okay. But then I woke up today and made my cabbage soup and couldn't even eat it. Maybe when it's lunch or dinner time I will be able to force some down my throat, but for now I'm stickin with water and that's alllll good with me! Cabbage, onions, tomatoes, celery, and peppers all mixed together in a broth just isn't my idea of breakfast..I'm really glad I have church and then work today because I don't know if I could handle just sitting at home doing nothing and being taunted by yummy food that is always well supplied on Sundays. I'm thinking that I will go to bed as soon as I get home from work and then when I wake up in the morning, this will all be over! Okay that's enough ranting for now. :) This is me! :)

Tomatoes and Chicken Huh?

So tomatoes and chicken are kind of a weird combo when their not accompanied with something like pasta or in a meal of some kind, but when you've had no meat for the past 4 days and the prior day all you had was bananas and milk, you don't question the weirdness and just eat up! Today hasn't been hard at all and I haven't had to keep my eyes shut while walking past the kitchen. So that's always an improvement right?! AND some good news. I decided to try on some pants that I have been too afraid to even look at for a while now and they slid on super easily and they're even a lil bit loose! Hallelujah! :) I will now reward myself with some tomatoes and chicken and maybe some water if I decide to go a lil crazy! This is me! :)

The Hunger's Catching Up to Me! :/

So after 3 consecutive days of eating only veggies and fruit and only drinking water, I was ecstatic to be able to eat bananas and drink milk today!! But as the day has gone on, I now just wanna eat everything that's in sight! :/ Its terrible! Not to mention my mom just got knee surgery so everyone and their dog are bringing over tons of delicious food and treats! It's killin me! So as my mom and dad are eating chicken alfredo and french bread with a salad and ranch, I'm over here munch in on carrots and celery. Yummmmm....But I know that it's gonna be worth it right? RIGHT! I can do it!! Just a few more days! Stay with me here!! This is me! :)

I'm Gonna Need Some Help..

I might be a lil crazy, who knows! But I decided to do a cleanse! My body just feels really bleh..so a cleanse is the best option for that! :) I'm really gonna need some support because I don't have anyone else doing this with me. (Last time I had 2 of my sisters) Yesterday was the first day and all I got to eat and drink was water and fruit..but good thing I love fruit right!! The only down side was that I had to go #1 like nobodies business!! Goodness. You probably didn't want to know that...oh well! It' parta life. So I have 1 day down and 6 more to go! I can do this!!!! This is me! :)

It's Skatin' Time! :)

So if you've ever been to a singles ward you start to become a little weary of the activities that are planned because sometimes they can be a titch....strange. But this activity was bound to be great because we were going to ICE WORLD!!!! It is a place where you can go and watch people make a fool of themselves and then make a fool outta yourself too! It's the best, I love it! (as Nacho would say) 

Me and Madison have gotten to be really close while home this semester. :) I don't know what I would do without her here!! :/ It would be bad news! We just skated around and had a blast chattin and laughin and fallin. Okay that last part was only for me...BUT still!

Me and my gang! (I'll award 10 gold stars to whomever can name who sings that song!) These folks are some of the best people around!! We had so much fun playing tag and helping each other up as we fell down. We all congregated at Shari's afterwords for some well earned food. I don't think the people that worked there liked us too much, but hey! We gave them money!! I couldn't have asked for a better spent night! :) I am one happy girl and this is me! :)

Back to the Burg. :)

So last week as I was talkin to my beloved sister about anything and everything, she mentioned that the coming weekend was going to be a 3 day weekend for them. So after many hours of begging and pleading, Emily finally convinced me to drive to Rexburg and visit her. So Friday morning I packed up and headed out in Jade (my new car). I got to Rexburg and charged right into Emily's apartment and gave her the largest bear hug to ever exist because I love her and have missed her so so so much!!! We proceeded to chat for a long titch about anything and everything. :) Then I got to see Kaitlyn! (My best friend from high school. ) I hadn't seen her in ages and that was so fun to see her again! Then me, Emily, Kaitlyn, and her sister Kelsey all went to see Vocal Point (an acapella group full of attractive BYU men) It was so sweet! I could listen to them sing ALL DAY LONG! Then that night I had a girl's night with Kaitlyn which was a blast! :) Love her!! So then on Saturday me and Emily attempted to go to the Idaho Falls temple which happened to be closed for cleaning..sad day! So then we just went to Chiles and had lunch! Where we chatted and chatted and had a blast! We then did some shopping and finished the day off lounging around and having some down time. Sunday we went to Emily's ward where she is the Relief Society pres. and is a wonderful one at that! Then we watched "Little Women" and ate popcorn and drank some serious pop!! Monday was a blast as well! We played some v-ball and then exercised! It felt good do sweat a lil' bit! Okay.....a lot bit. We then got ready for the day then walked around Rexburg laughing and going crazy like we do best! I am so glad that I was able to go and see Emily a.k.a. my bestest friend in the WHOLE wide world!!!! :) I made so many memories that I will never forget! And that's it. I'm out! Peace homes!! This is me! :)

I Got me Some Cute Nieces/Nephews

Well folks, it's time for me to brag. I usually wouldn't do this, but I have to in this case! So here goes. I am the luckiest girl in the world at this very moment! I have 16 nieces and nephews with one more on the way. There are all so cute/handsome, fun, hilarious, and quirky. Lately they have all (except my oldest sister's 4 kids) been over at my home and filling it with laughter and noise which I have learned to love. :) Lately there has been a lot of children hurt or killed leaving their families with silence in their homes. I am so grateful that all of my nieces and nephews and their existence in my life. My family would not be complete without every single one of them to fill in the spaces. :) I love every one of those crazy kids. Bentley William, Bridon Stanley, Emerson Eliza, Ellee Lyn, Seth Samuel, Sarah Jewel, Kathryn Hope, Luke William, Heston Bradley, Henley Rue, Elsie Corinne, Emmett Cash, Ezra Haylee, Katy Lynn, Ryan Christopher, and Grace Lauryn. Here are some pictures of some of them..I just got a new camera so I only have a few pictures to choose from. :(

Emerson holding her new baby sister Ellee. 

Grace and Emerson playin' dollies together. They're gonna be great friends. I just know it! :)

Katy holding one of the twins/newest editions to my big family: Emmett.

With all of my nieces and nephews and their parents, there are now 33 people in my family and that couldn't be a more perfect number. :) And in May when my brother and sister-in-law have their first baby, 34 will be the perfect number. I love my family more than anyone could ever love anyone!! They are my safe haven. I would be so lost and alone because even though friends are great, they can't always be there for you like a family can. So there you have them. All the grandkids in all of their amazing glory! :) I am a lucky lucky lucky aunt. And this is me! :)
