my new place

Sorry this is so long in coming. Sometimes I'm a slacker at taking pictures. Ok, so I live in a townhouse about a mile away from my work. I have a nice big bedroom and share the place with two other girls. I kept wanting everything to be nice and tidy, but that's just not gonna happen. so this is my new place clutter and all...

This is the outside of the place. They're kinda like townhouse duplexes or something because each building only has two units. Parking is an issue but luckily my spot is included in my rent (at least when someone else isnt parked there...refer to previous post)

Ok, this is my new beautiful bed. I got it at the RCWilley clearance center and it was a steal. Its fun to have a few nice things in my room for a change.

Along with my beautiful bed I bought this nice big dresser. I'm not a dresser person but unfortunately I dont have much of a closet here so at least this way the clothes have a place. I still need to hang that picture, but I'm not that skilled, plus its heavy. Maybe one of these days when dad's around he can hang it for me:)

Ok here is an example of clutter on my cute desk. This is where I sit and play on my computer or pay my bills, etc.




It was kinda hard to get the kitchen/dining room into one picture. This is actually one of the biggest areas of the house. Its good to have a nice big kitchen. And believe it or not, I do a lot of cooking these days, shocking...I know:)

Dinner with my kids...

So the other night I went to dinner with some of my kids from good old Woodland Hills. It was fun to see them all grown up. Ben did a great job of organizing, hopefully next time our numbers will double.

Bridal Show

So my friend Melanie and I decided to attend the Salt Lake Bridal Fair just for kicks:) There were tons of free treats, beautiful cakes and a fun fashion show. We had a great time....and someday we'll be brides, right? (this is where you say OF COURSE!)

It might seem a little silly but we used to do this kind of stuff all the time, back in the day. I remember many an outing trying on wedding dresses and pretending one of my friends or my sisters was a bride. We always had a great time. Its like dress up for grown ups:)

what the h#!!

(Warning...this is not going to be a nice post!)
So I got home last night and my roommate let her friend park in my spot. Being the accommodating person I am, I said no problem and parked on the curb. I was fast asleep before her friends left so I didnt think more about it. Its only one night and if all else failed maybe I'd get a note on my car. Nope...I woke up this morning to no car. Yup...it got towed. I hate towing companies!!! So not only was I late to work because I had to have someone drop me off, but I couldnt get ahold of the tow place until 8:30 and its going to cost me $200 to get it out. Seriously!! Seriously!!! At this point I have nothing nice to say so I'm not going to say anything more...grr :$

Fun with the Fam...Dec 2008

Big Smiles!!

They actually sat still for a few minutes while we looked through the train book before bed.

The kids helping me open my Christmas present from Eric & Kara...an MP3 player...love it!

Taking a break at the Railroad Museum

Silly Boys:)

Its amazing what a little air and a few plastic balls can do to two silly boys...endless hours of entertainment (ok maybe hours was an exageration but they seriously giggled and giggled for lots of minutes:)

Happy New Year

I'm greatful for all the blessings and challenges of 2008. I have to be honest though, I'm not sad to see it go. Here's to looking forward to everything in the new year!!
