Past, Present & Future

20 Years ago:
  1. I was a little tike, almost one year old.
  2. I was kinda young so I don't remember very much.
  3. Think that I was living in Prescott, AZ. Unless we moved to Buckeye by then.

10 Years ago:

  1. I was ten years old. I lived in Hyder. Very small town between Pheonix and Yuma.
  2. Common things I did at this time: Build forts with my little brothers and sister, jump on the trampoline, building little towns out of mud and stuff, hiking the mountain near my house, helping around the house, training for track, achievement days (on Thursdays) and go to school.
  3. I was probably planning my tenth birthday party. All my friends came over and we had a sleep over on my trampoline.

5 Years ago:

  1. I was 15. I lived in Prescott rooming with Amanda, Nikki and Collean.
  2. I was going to Yavapai College. My classes were Cultural Geography, College Algebra, Microbiology, Art History, 3-D Design, & Oil Painting . At the time I was considering being an Art major, before that I was thinking about majoring in Education.
  3. Working as a nanny and doing house cleaning.
  4. Mode of transportation: My bike.
  5. I loved hanging with my friends, sister, brother, roommates (who was practically a roommate because he was Nikki's fiance), playing indoor soccer, going to Young Women's and going to dances!

2 Years ago:

  1. I was 18. I was trying to convince myself that I didn't like this guy named Talmage.
  2. I was going to school as an Engineer. Thinking that college seems like it will never end. (This was my fifth year of college).
  3. I enjoyed being Relief Society second counselor and loved serving with the girls in my ward and helping people.
  4. I worked as a math and science tutor at ASU polytechnic campus (East Campus)
  5. This was a stressful semester because I also was president of the Engineering Club and felt like I had too much on my plate.
  6. Loved hanging and living with Rick and Alyssa. Liked spending time with family and friends. Going to FHE. Going on dates and especially loved going to dances.

1 Year ago:

  1. Happily married to an amazing man, Talmage. We did a lot together and felt like we were driving everywhere, to family houses, friends and going on dates.
  2. Still going to school and working as a tutor.

  2. Keep painting and working on projects.
  3. Want to do dancing and exercising of some sort on a regular bases.
  4. Enjoy and love my kids, husband, and fam.

Crazy Insane Dream

So I dreamed that I was helping my little sister push her car because it had broken down. She doesn't drive and is not old enough to drive. weird. Then I slipped and tripped and my dad ran my legs over. Weirder. The rest of the dream I was angry at my dad and telling him he should feel bad. He didn't and blaming me for tripping in front of him. All weird.
The weirdest part, I woke up with two marks on the palm of my hand and my palm was hurting. I had clinched my hand so tightly that I dug my nails into myself. Yea, pretty strange.

What is wrong with this picture?

The Sweet Sleeping Babies

These are the babies around three weeks ago. So they are about a month or so old. They are so precious. The craddle that they are in was made by Talmage's Aunt. She is talented.

Polar Express

Talmage and I won a trip through our HOA to go to the Grand Canyon Railroad Hotal and ride the Polar Express. He was gone the weekend that we won it for and we couldn't change the date. So I invited my sisters and mom to come with me. We had a lot of fun! I think that we were the the biggest kids there!







Santa gave everyone christmas bells. Hannah wasn't satisfied with just one though.





It was very fun until on the way back we had to sing Christmas carols. The song that broke me and made me want me to jump off the train was The Twelve Days of Christmas. The elf in the background kept telling us to sing louder. We were the loudest ones on the train. He kept telling us to sing louder though. He was just trying to hit on Angel.
