Update on life
So some of you may wonder where I have been. Well I can't say I have a great excuse other then the fact that at this moment in time "my" computer has been hi-jacked. Well lets just say our home has 2 computers and at the time being Fernando's computer is out of commission...so you ask what does that mean?? Well that means I go without. Yes I know I should put my foot down and say its mine and Fernando should go with out, but well...I just don't have that in me. Its a tough life I live to go without a computer, but I am making it through.
Anyway with all that being said. I need to catch up on a few things these past few months. First we had some birthdays that were celebrated. We had my cute nephew Cameron turn 4 in October, and he thinks he is such a big boy now. We had a wonderful time celebrating his birthday with him, and I will include some pictures in a post to follow.
November, was packed with Birthday's as well. My mom's birthday who just happens to be the best mom in the whole wide world was on November 9th and then following hers was Fernando's who is the best husband in the world. We then had Matt's come the following week so needless to say we had a busy first part of the month with birthdays.
For Fernando's birthday and just because we decided to take a road trip to Las Vegas. We thought it would be fun to go and enjoy the warmness of Nevada and enjoy each others company as well. We went with some friends of ours Breck and Johanna, and had a great time. On the way down we were able to stop at In-N-Out...which is good, but not all its hyped up to be. OK that is my opinion so please don't throw darts at me Breck. After stopping in St.George to enjoy some burgers we finished our journey on to Vegas. We got in probably about 10 or so and stopped at the grocery store for some snacks and breakfast food. Got back to the condo and decided it was time to go to bed. Guess we aren't as young as we used to be, because we all seemed really warn out from the drive and we were all ready for bed. So no exploring went on that night. Friday night we were able to enjoy the Excalibur Tournament of Kings show,(something Fernando wanted to do for his birthday) and it was fun. I actually lost my voice cheering for our Knight. It was so funny walking around after trying to talk, but not a whole lot was coming out. Fernando and Breck then played a rousing game of air hockey, which if you know Fernando and Breck its starts off as just a friendly game then turns into best 2 out of 3. Lets just say I am glad that Jo and I did not have any extra quarters or one dollar bills on us or we would have been there for a lot longer. OK..I actually have to go at this moment, but I will be back and finish up this post in a little bit. Sorry about this pause.

M.I.A....nahhh just L.A.Z.Y
So here are the past months in a nut shell.
June we celebrated my lil'sisters birthday. That would be Cindy. Yes I know she is taller, but yes she is younger. She celebrated the big 24. Fernando and I hosted the Birthday at our home so we had to make sure and have the silly straws and all the fixins for a great Birthday. I hope she had a wonderful day, and thanks for being such a wonderful sister.
June was also filled with many other things...
Melisa and Kevin were sealed to their two newest additions for time and all eternity. Look how cute these children are as well as innocent.

Getting Crafty...well sorta
So a co-worker, and friend of mine is pregnant and will be having her third child very soon. Hopefully sooner then later, and well with it being her third most people are not to keen on the idea of throwing a baby shower. So with that being said, I could not allow for that. Being as I am the third child in my family, and well we don't want this little girl to have the same complex that I do. OK I really don't have that bad of a complex, but I think I didn't get a few things because I was the third. Anyway we went ahead and organized a surprise shower for her. It was great.
I took it upon myself to get crafty and create something for her. So I thought I would make a cute little letter "E" for the little one to come (Elexys). Well I think I bit off more then I can chew. So I had to attempt this more then once. I only burned myself once on the glue gun, so not to terrible.
Here is the finish project.
And Elisha's reaction.

Lacking Motivation.
Ok ladies and maybe the few gentlemen out there that read this. I am lacking motivation. Yes yours truly is lacking motivation. I am lacking the motivation to eat right; I am lacking the motivation to work out.
I want to be thin and healthy, but lack the motivation to want to do anything to accomplish this task. I don’t know what to do. I hate being in this slump, and I don’t know how to get out of it.
I signed up for the 5k this weekend, but really I more so did it because of peer pressure. Not that it is a bad thing to be peer pressured into, but really I have no desire to do it. Anyway thanks for letting me vent or somewhat sound off.
