DAY #8 (short term goals for this month & why)

hmmmmmmmmm, that would probably have to be FINISHING THIS BLOG CHALLENGE that i've started, LOL!! that is one of them...another would be to be a BETTER, LOVING MOTHER to my kids!!

didn't think it would be so difficult, LMBO!!

OH-EM-GEE...the last time i posted was almost a week ago, and that was DAY #7 of my blog challenge I've been trying to do, haha. I've got 6 days that I need to catch up on...Before I even started that challenge, and the reason WHY i even started it, is because I told myself, "Self, you are no longer going to be a slacker ANYMORE!! We are going to start this blog challenge, finishing it in exactly 30 days." Well, not that I CAN'T still finish it in 30 days, its just the fact that I also told myself that i would get on and post a blog once-a-day!! So here are my EXCUSES.....

1. I'M PREGNANT.....nuff sed!! haha
2. I have 2 kids under the age of 5 that belong to me, PLUS, another 2 more under the age of 3, that DO NOT belong to me that I have to watch during the day, so that makes 4 kids all under the age of 5, you figure it out....yup, THIS reason alone should explain my SLACKING huh?? lol
3. It's not like I don't get on the computer....it's just that I spend more time on FB!! (something that needs to become a part of my "new years resolution!! haha)
4. I get real LAZY....you should see my room!! I, along with my kids, took a trip to UTAH back in AUGUST!! Yeah, our room is still a HUGE MESS from then...and mind you, I'm a person that ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, CANNOT STAND messy rooms, houses, cars, or anything like that!!!!
5. And last, but not least, when I was just READING the blog challenge, I thought to myself, ahhhhhhhhh, this will be a BREEZE!!! psssshhhhh, yah right!! i hate posting pics of myself, and all that stuff....but I HAVE TO FINISH IT, I'M NOT GONNA QUIT!!! Sooooo, now that I've given my excuses, I will catch up with my blog, and hope you enjoy!!! ;)

DAY #7: (pic of something/someone that has a big impact on you)

These 4 people down below are the people that make a BIG IMPACT on me because I don't know where exactly I would be if I didn't have them in MY LIFE!! They are the reason I wake up every morning (even though some mornings it's a little earlier than I'd like), but hey, I wouldn't change that for anything. I guess we're doing a pretty good job if Heavenly Father is trusting us with another one of His choice SPIRITS in the next 6 months :)

Ma'atoe (18months)

Kacey (10yrs)

Liliani (4yrs)

the LOVE OF MY LIFE!!

--playing CATCH-UP--

DAY #5: (a picture of somewhere i've been too)

ok, soooooooooo here's the thing though....i've been here MANY times, being that I was born & raised in the next town over!! buuuuuuuuuut, I haven't had the chance to go in and actually do a "session", which is what I really would {LOVE} to do someday! However, I am a very proud member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints, and wouldn't have it any other way!!! <3




DAY #6: (fav. superhero & why?)

hmmmmmmmmm, that would have to be THE GREAT MAN "UPSTAIRS"!!! Without him, there would be NO US!!

..what would YOU do??..

ok...just so we're totally CLEAR on this post, it has absolutely NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING, to do with ME!! haha, just had to get that straight! however, it is a true story of a close friend of mine(who, I'm sure they would rather remain ANONYMOUS), and it makes me angry, so I had to do a VENT post...oh come on now, we all have days when we just want to vent, and can't really vent directly TO SOMEONE, so we turn to our blog ;)

anyways, so i have this friend...we'll call her Annie! Annie has been married to her husband, Andy, for almost 5 years now! They have a child that is 4yrs old together...everything seemed all fine & dandy, they seemed REALLY happy, like a family should be. Up until recently that is...see, Andy had to move out-of-state due to "business" reasons! Annie was fine with their child, taking care of the two them, and making sure that Andy was ok too. Andy, was supposedly taking care of his "business" out where he was at...but now that they were hundreds of miles apart, they had ALOT MORE fights than usual, and it just made things that much HARDER! So one of those fights that they had, was a really bad one....so bad, that Andy just stopped calling Annie altogether for almost 2 whole weeks. Annie decided that it would be best for her to drive out there and just SHOW UP, and surprise him and see what was going on, and also to make sure that he was doing the things he needed to be doing. She had everything planned and ready to go...literally, she booked a car, a hotel, and planned out their whole time together. But something came up, and sadly, she had to cancel her "surprise" trip to see her hubby. So since Andy never called her at all, she decided she would be the BIGGER person, and just give him a call, and tell him about what she WAS going to do...he was sad, because he really wanted to see Annie & their child. So they solved whatever problems they had, and everything was BACK TO NORMAL..................................or so Annie thought!

Annie & Andy, once again, got into a HUGE FIGHT this time...and he told her that he was sick & tired of her always paying the bills for her parents and what not...LAME EXCUSE! He then TEXTED her(the MANLY thing to do), and told her "I HAVE FALLEN OUT OF LOVE WITH YOU!" So, now my question is........................what would YOU do if your ETERNAL COMPANION, the person you thought you would spend the REST OF YOUR LIFE & more with, tells you something like that??????? I wanna know!!!

...DAY #4...

there are probably MORE than just ONE habit I wish I didn't have, hehe! but first things first...like most, or maybe just SOME of us, I kinda wish I didn't have the "just because we have money, i'll go & spend it now" habit!! lol...that is my #1 WORST habit of all time...ask my husband! I will find any reason to spend what little money we may have left, whether it be for myself, or for my kids, or just for fun...I {heart} $$$$$$!!!! haha

(that is a pic of MY SON on that $1,000 bill, haha)

~DAY #3~

hmmmmm....a picture of me & my friends? the only picture(s) i have of me & any of my friends, is from before I had my first child...lol...so that will have to do!!

(this picture is from 1999--Kahiki, Me, Foga, Sun, & G)

(1999--chillin' at 7's after a BYU-H dance)

(2001 at my daughter's 1st bday party--Marvel, Me w/Kacey, & Mary)

So those are a few pictures that I was able to salvage from what I do have left! The "new" friends that I've made since then, I haven't really had the chance, nor the time, to pose for a picture with them!! But if/when I do, i'll put them up!
