I can't believe its November already. Time flies by doesn't it? Well as most of you know I am working two jobs still and going to school. I am happy to say that next semester for school I will only have to wake up twice a week for my early morning job!! yay! I am so excited about that. I am working out my schedule for Spring semester to where I will only need to go down to Provo twice a week. Hopefully it will all work out. :) I am happy to report that I just might pull off a C in my biology class! yeah!!! lol My friend Ashley went to talk to our Professor about our grades and how we are trying so hard in the class. He agrees with us that we don't really need this class and that he will work with us on our grade! How happy are we about that? :) I take my fourth test on Monday, so we will see what happens. Other then work and school my life is great. My family is health and well and I just love them. :) I am so grateful for Thanksgiving and this time of year were we can really think about what we are truly thankful for. I am truly thankful for my family. The are always there for me when I have needed them and I am in there debt. I am grateful for my friends. They are all great examples to me of how I need to become a better person. I am grateful for this gospel in my life. I have grown so much through the years and its because of great examples that are all around me, teachers I have or have had, missionary work, prayer and scripture study. Without these in my life I would go crazy. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and remember all that you are grateful for. :)
Halloween!
One day it just came to me that I should be Cotton Candy for Halloween. So with brainstorming with my mom and sister sara we came up with my costume. I know its not the cutest cotton candy costume but I loved it! It was so much fun. The kids got a kick out of it too!
These are a few of my girls. Kylee... Sharpay from HSM and Chels...Prom Queen.
My nieces and nephews. So cute! Who's your favorite aunt? Ashley!

Sara and all the hang. Hangs all here!
So as most of you know I love muscials especially High School Muscial. :)
On Saturday I got to go see High School Muscial Three with my sisters, mom and my neice and nephew. I just LOVED it!!! I will buying the CD this week for sure so I can start singing all the songs to you! You can't wait huh? lol It was so good and you all need to go see it.
I'm a triathlete are you?
I made it!!!! Best of all I beat my brother Spencer's time and was only 7 min. behind my other brother Eric! :) Thank you. thank you! I did it in 1 hr. and 59 min. :) The swim was hard but surprisingly it was the bike that took me the longest.
So he is my time for each event
Swim 27 min
Bike 58 min
Run 23 min
So we woke up at five am to go set up and check in. First of all that is early and second it was so cold! But we checked in, set up our stuff and then Jeff (brother in law) gave me the low down of what I needed to do and the confidence I was lacking for the swim. :) The time came for us to start the race. I was super nervous for the swim but it all worked out. The swim was stuff for me cause I only swam like three times before the Tri. I was proud of myself cause I never touched the wave runners that were there just in case you need to rest. :) So finished the swim then went to the bike. (Jeff who did the Tri with me said the bike was a lot harder in Lake Powell then the one in St. George so that makes me a little bit better about myself.) The bike was stuff. I was biking along thinking I can do this and then I started to see bikers go up this big hill. I thought to myself "I sure hope I don't have to go up that." Of course I did. :) It was two big hills and I thought I was going to die!!! It was stuff but I made it. Then I ran my 3 miles and placed #1 for my age group for the women. So that makes me happy. I was so happy to have beat my brothers time and I look forward for the next one in June. That is the one my brother said he is "going to kill ALL of us" lol Will he ever learn to shut his big mouth? ;)

5 am comes early especially when you are nervous like me here. :)
The day is almost here!
So the day is almost here and I just wanted to make one last post just in case i don't make it! ;) My tri is this Saturday in Lake Powell so if you could all say a little prayer for me that I will make, that will be great! lol I am really excited but also very nervous. I hope to finish it in two and half hours at the most!!!! I would like to do it in one hour and 45 mins. I will make sure you all know the outcome.
Just to top off my night today. I hit a dog on my way home from working out. I was on South Mtn. going about 45 mph (speed limit 40)and out of no where this dog runs out in front off me. I didn't have time to swerve or anything! After I hit the dog I heard this yelping and after my shock was over I turned the car around to see if I could see it or help it but I didn't see anything. I felt so bad for the poor dog until I got home and saw what that poor dog did to my car! don't worry I have a heart still its just now my car looks like white trash. Their is a big dent in the front on the left side by the headlight and a big crack in the left headlight as while. So it was a great night tonight. :)
But ever bad news there is good news some where! I just found out today that my friend Staci from my old job (GIANT Steps) is engaged! yeah! I am so happy for her. I love to think back and remember the times that we would sit around at work talking about their relationship. Good days! Well that about does it. I need to get to bed. Thanks for your prayers for this weekend! ;)
love ya
Crazy life but I love it!
So with my two jobs, going to school and training for my triathlon in October I am going 100 miles/hour!!! :) But I love it! I still love school. Don't really love Biology but who does? lol I just have to laugh at it because me and my friend Ashley are in biology together and she went in and took the first test and went out with a 42% She studied alot hard then me too, so I just went in and took and got 41% lol We love Biology can you tell. :) lol but we have since gone to the biology lab to get tutored and have asked my Smart cousin Brian to help us! Thank you Brian! So my next big test is on Friday. We will see how this one turns out. lol Wish me luck! Love my other classes its just finding time to work out is the hard part. I ran once at 4:30 am and my moms friends all had a heart attack that I got up that early and ran. "Doesn't she know there is a gang going around killing people.", "I can't believe you let her do that!", " Does she not know about the neighborhood weird o?" Thank you to all that have been worried about me. :) I did it just that once and I came out alive! So stop giving my mom a hard time! lol It was actually nice cause it was cool out and it felt great. So needless to say I am now running at the UVU gym. It's free which is nice. ;) But I now just need to find a swimming pool. My triathlon is October 18 of anyone wants to go see me die! jk Hopefully I make it! If I don't just know I loved you all! :)
Work is good. I work at the Wee Care Daycare on campus at 6:45 am to about 8:45 or 9:45am depending on the day. So I have to leave draper at 6:15 am which means I get up at 5:00 am! So I am pretty tired most days. Then I go to school and after school I go to my daycare in American Fork. I like working at both but I still miss my other job. :) I still go back to say hi or volunteer and one of my classes I have to do field work so I choice to go to GIANT Steps! I love them and miss them. So with all those elements in my life I am one busy lady! IF I have neglected you at all please know I love you its just I am so busy. I hope to slow my life down once I get this triathlon off my shoulders. Don't get me wrong though. I have loved training for it. I love to run...so I hope to make up my time there. Anyways, I love you all who read my blog! :) Thanks for being my friend and being patient with me. Love Ya!
