So there are going to be some changes for Skyeler and I soon. We have decided to head back up north. We will be in my parents basement hopefully for only a short short time. I have really been wanting my own apartment for a long time. In fact I've been wanting one ever since we knew that we were going to have to move down to Richfield to Skyeler dad's basement in July of 2010. So it has been a very long and difficult year for me. I admit I have been extremely jealous of everyone! Especially of a certain couple. I hate seeing how good and somewhat perfect other people's lives are including jobs, activities, housing, relationships etc.. then looking at mine and seeing how not perfect it is.
Hopefully now that we are starting our changes in life I might be a little bit more likely to enjoy the ride that life takes us. I know that everybody has a different situation and good's and bad's in life but I'm human and just want things to be good right now and not have to wait for it. So it is just doing what is in my power to make things better. I just hope it works so I can feel happy with my life and not so jealous of others.
Wish me good luck because the day after tomorrow is when we head up to Bountiful. I just really hope we can both find jobs that will support us so we don't have to feel like we are poor and be able to find a decent and clean place to live that isn't super expensive and will let us have my puppy.
Do you think it is possible? To find a place that is not really expensive and will let me have my puppy?

Kitchen Remodel
Last Friday I had Skyeler help me with washing some walls around the house and from there we ended up doing an entire Kitchen redo. Long story short we have been wanting to do something with the kitchen for quite some time because hey it is UGLY!!! So we had started to rip down the wallpaper and we ended up repainting and making this area SOOO much better. Just take a look at our before and afters!!
-Here are the Before's.
-Midway through.
-The after's.
It only took us from a Friday to Tuesday. We only had a few things to do the last day like put everything back and clean things up but as you can see it is quite the redo! It looks so much better!

California / Disneyland Family Vacation
In March of 2010 the my family brought up the fact that every 5 or so years we go to Disneyland and the last time we went was around 7 yrs ago. (as of last yr) So we had started to make plans to go to Disneyland in August of 2011. WOW what a wait for someone (Skyeler) to go to Cali when he has never been in his life. It was a long wait but so very worth it. We started our vacation on the 5th by driving down to Vegas and ended our vacation coming home on the 14th. We were in California the 5-13 and we stayed in a house that we rented and it was only a block from Disneyland so we were able to see the nightly fireworks or hear them every night.
Saturday was a drive and relax day. We got there and set up our rooms and had dinner with the family and we ended up swimming in the pool that we had in the backyard. It was A LOT of fun. Lindsay and Scott also announced that they were expecting and are about 13-14 weeks along. YAY!!! I can't wait.
Sunday included sleeping in a little and heading to the beach with Dad, Kandie, Lindsay and Scott. It was so much fun because the whole ride we were asking Skyeler about what he thought it was going to be like and if he was excited to see the beach and ocean for the first time. It was so enjoyable to be able to see him experience stuff for the first time and I am glad that I was able to be part of it.
During our beach time Skyeler had tried to build a face in the sand and Lindsay was trying to bury Scott in the sand and turn him into a mermaid. But the waves kept getting further up the beach. Sky had to try twice and basically when he was about to show everyone or about to finish the waves would ruin it. Same with Scott and Lindsay. As soon as I was going to take a picture of Scott in the sand the waves came and Kind of ruined it. :( OH well huh.
At one point we almost had everyone jump in the pool and diving off the diving board. I think there was maybe two who didn't get in and that included Becky and I. Debbie was thrown in with her street clothes on by Scott and Skyeler and Scott both decided to jump in with their clothes on. But it was a surprise when Scott did it. He just went up to the diving board and ran right in with out to many people noticing till he was in mid jump. As it started to get darker we turned on the lights that were in the pool and so it made the water look really cool. I then had whoever was in the pool spell out the work CALI in honor of our vacation!! IT was Skyeler, Kandie, Dad, and Scott. It looked AWESOME! I could say that Ryan is the period at the end of Cali.
Monday morning I think we sat around waiting for Midieval Times. OH my goodness that show was amazing. I had so much fun watching the show and watching Skyeler enjoy everything. I think if we lived in the area he would want to work there as one of the actors. Everything was just amazing especially the food!! I really enjoy coming to Midieval Times. It was so much fun watching the actors joust and fight to the death and watching all the little girls get flowers from the knights! Naomi even got one!
Tuesday was the start of our Disneyland adventure. Skyeler had to make sure he had a picture as proof that he was there!
Space Mountain was our very first ride in Disneyland and of course we HAD to get a picture! Can't you tell that Skyeler is SOOO excited! :)

Family Vacation Continued.....
So Tuesday was Disneyland like I had said. We were able to ride many rides including; Buzz space blasters, Nemo, Splash Mountain, The Haunted Mansion, and Indiana Jones. Much of the time of course was waiting in line but it was worth it. We also did a little shopping while we waited for the fireworks to start. The Fireworks were amazing. Yes I did mention that we were able to watch most of them from the back yard of the house we stayed at but being able to be close and listen to the music made it even better. It seriously was SOOO amazing.
The pictures really aren't that great but give us 3 years to save up for a nicer camera and I'll show you some better pictures!!
Wednesday we went to Hollywood and was part of the live audience for America's Got Talent. It was such an awesome experience and it was something neither of us had done before! Over all I really enjoyed my time even though it included more time waiting in lines. To say that I have been part of it was exciting.
Thursday was mainly spent in California Adventure and I swear we rode the California screaming one 3 times. We also went on the Grizzly River Run and Soaring over California. All of it was so much fun. When we get up to the California screaming one Scott asks us "does this thing go upside down?" and I told him yes. It does and it is so much fun. Ya I don't think he really liked the idea but needless to say we did go on it again when Will and Becky caught up with us.
That night we went over to Disneyland for dinner at the Blue Bayou and I really think that it could have been better for the price. But I won't go into detail. What I will say it that they make it seem like you are outside and it is dark. I got the feel of being in neverland especially since on the movie hook when all the lost boys are going to bed the blow out the candles in their little floating lanterns. The had lanterns all over and the tables were lit by candle light. It was kinda cool. We really didn't sit in the best place in order to watch the people on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
That night we watched the World of Color. That is basically like the Bellagio's water show but on super steroids. There were so many lights, colors, and with the water they were able to project movie scenes onto it. It was so cool and I would go back over and over again to watch it. Either that or watch it on Youtube but it doesn't give it justice. SOOO I'll most likely go back.
Friday was the day that we tried to get caught up on all the other rides we hadn't gone on. So we got up a little earlier and Skyeler and I went on the Thunder Mountain, Mark Twain River Boat, Pirates again, then over to the Jungle cruise. After that we headed over to California Adventure again and tried to get on a couple more rides there. We went on the Tower of Terror and seriously Skyeler sounded like he was screaming like a little girl when the ride just drops you over and over again. At one point near the start he accidentally put his hand on the leg of the lady sitting next to him. :P
We also went on the Little Mermaid ride. I'm not a huge fan of the movie but since it was new and I had never been on it I just had to go. It was amazing and the best part of it was seeing a little character from the Incredible Mr. Limpet. So you see Don Knotts character (as the fish) hiding behind some grass behind the shells you were riding in. It was funny.
That night we went back with Will and Mollie to ride some more rides after having a little break at the house and soaking our very sore feet in the pool. I had so much fun! It was great to ride some rides again especially since everyone thought it was quite comical how Skyeler would scream on the Tower of Terror.
-We were just waiting in line.
- Picture taken at the top of the tower as we were looking out over Disneyland.
Saturday we drove back to Vegas and had a wonderful dinner made by Will, Skyeler, and Ryan. It was sad to have everything come to an end but if we were always there than we wouldn't have anything to really look forward to.
Over all we had a WONDERFUL vacation and were able to enjoy our time together as a family. I can't wait till the next time we go.
