Photographs by Jessica






A few weeks ago, I asked Jessica to take some pictures of me. She did such an awesome job! We laughed and had a great time together. Mom was Jessica's assistant and made sure my hair and clothes looked good. Thanks Mom!
Thank you Jessica for doing these pictures. I love them and I love you!!

Never Ending Headache ...

I'm not going to say my age, but I have been in college for .... well a long time. I should have several bachelor degrees with all the college credits I have and at least one masters degree. I have been so indecisive on what to get my degree with. I have decided on a degree in Business Management. I have never wanted to attend ASU mainly because ... it freakin scares me! But, also because of my work schedule, I will be unable to attend ASU unless I dropped my hours at work to about 30 hours a week. Well, that is just not going to work for me. I have been interested in attending University of Phoenix for a long time. Starting the first week of June, I will be transferring all my credits to University of Phoenix and will (hopefully!!!) have my degree in 18 months. Oh that will be a happy day for me! It will be very difficult at times because there are NO breaks. "What!!!??!!" you say? Yes, there are no breaks. You take one class at a time for 5 weeks and the following week jump into the next class. I could take a little break, but the max is 29 days. Which means .... I'll be behind one class and will take just a bit longer to finish.

I seem to finally have a solid path in my college education. I'm excited to start at University of Phoenix and looking forward to finishing! Just hope my friends and family will continue being patient with me. It will be tough and stressful. Maybe I should change from chocolate and Dr. Pepper as my "studying food" to water and crackers. Nah ...... :)

Bode is 1 Years Old!


Last weekend Mom, Jessica, and I went up to Provo to visit Travis and Alison to celebrate Bode's first birthday. Can't believe he's one! Bode is walking all over the place and is just as cute as ever!


I arrived in Provo Thursday morning and well, let's just say I was a bit under dressed for Utah. I wore shorts, a short sleeve shirt, and flip flops. It was about 40 degrees when I arrived. What the heck!?!?!! It's freakin' March! I left about 90 degree weather in lovely AZ and the temperature dropped 50 degrees! Normally I look up the weather before traveling anywhere. But, because I was going to be gone the rest of the week, I needed to make sure I was caught up with my homework, so I didn't get to bed until around midnight waking up at 4 am. Well, when Travis and Alison picked me up at the airport I thought they were going to roll up onto the sidewalk. They took one look at me and was dying laughing!! I don't blame them. I looked like a retard in shorts! Such the tourist. :)

While up in Provo, we had so much fun hanging out, laughing, going shooting, going shopping, and just playing with Bode. My cousin Jeri was also visiting that weekend to attend the wedding of Nicholas Friddle (son of my Dad's good friend, Tory Friddle). Jeri brought her new baby, Luke. I wish I had a picture! He is so adorable and was so much fun making him laugh.

It was fun getting out of town for a while, but I was great to be back home! Although, I ended up having a cold because of my inappropriate AZ attire in stinkin cold UT. :) Warning: ALWAYS no matter what time you go to bed, double check the weather before going anywhere! lol
