Fun all around!!

So when all your friends are poor college kids that have little to no money, there is a need to still have fun but on the cheap. The problem is we live in Prescott Arizona!

Not alot to do if you don't have money... or so it may appear.

Here is a list of fun and inexpensive things that we've found.

• Barnes and Noble read alouds! Get as many books as you are allowed to and find a place to sit.Take turns reading random paragraphs aloud. You would be very surprised at how much fun this can be.
• Thursdays bowling at Plaza Bowl. This is the best day to go! It is only $2 a rack and free shoes.
• Washing cars....it only costs for the water and if you get toaster strudel at wal-mart after.
• And on that note it brings me to....Wal-Mart!! in the end we almost always end up there!
• Redbox. I don't think there is much else to say.
• Bake nights! Ok so this isn't the cheapest of things to do but it's for a potluck for our ward. So we like to all get together to cook what we need.

So after all of the fun sometimes we need to eat! not always but sometimes!

• Half priced appetizers at Applebees! They have the same quality of wings as Buffalo Wild Wings but they only cost about $4.
• Bottomless stake fries at Red Robin! They have the best!
• And there is always Taco Bell! Food and fun, always cheap...in all senses:)

There you go!!! that is most of the time what I am up to with friends. Hope that you- wherever you are- can find something fun to do without spending a fortune

Happy color!!!

I love Goodwill! You never know what you are going to find or the fun that you will have there.

For example: Cayden's Gas mask he found for $10 or.... My shoes!

There of course is a story behind the shoes. When I was 15 I bought a beautiful pair of shoes that made me smile every time I looked at them. As many of you know I am not some one that likes to wear flats but these shoes were not to be passed by!

Here is the new pair that I found for $3. They have never been worn!

oh yes, please look and be jealous!

Look carefully at the picture below

These are the old pair that I wore till they were dead,Dead,DEAD! Circa: 2008

Some people have funerals for their animals, I did for these shoes.

Thank you, whoever is out there for being the shopaholic that you must have been to not wear these pretties like I did. Also, for giving them to Goodwill for me to find!

Kicks and Giggles!

Laughter is a thing you can't expect. You can smile on demand or chuckle at a kids joke but laughter... I think I laughed hard than I have in a long time tonight as Rachelle tried(and succeeded) to sit in between Cayden and I. Started as a joke with his Dad and ended with a Rachelle in my lap!
Or maybe it is laughing at yourself. Howling at the moon when you have the hood down on your car. Laughing at the people who are driving next to you looking at you like you are the craziest thing they have ever seen. Sadly though, I maybe the craziest thing they have seen. But yet they didn't laugh.
When do you forget to laugh at the silly things?

photo post!

Here is a quick summary of what I have been up to!

Playing in Jerome with Cayden!

My Grammy Misty and aunt Kristi came to visit us in AZ! I was at work so they came to see me in action.

Maliea getting ready for her prom! I got to help with all the shopping. I am so glad you are my sister, happy 22nd birthday!

Please tell me you see the attitude here.....


I am now over the hill! I used to think 19 was REALLY old... that was when I was 10!

Bowling with best friends! Rachelle you are incredible! you don't even know how much of a good friend you are!

We had an church class on Tuesday nights and after we would go and get food from Taco Bell. This is an inside joke but read the sigh carefully and you may get it.

Hint: you can now get it at Taco Bell due to special demand;)

Thanks Melany for all the laughs!

Thayne and I went on a last minute date to Cayden's Baseball game he umpires. The other umpires were having fun playing dress up with him!

Just a few photos to show the loads of fun I have been having!

Sometimes...

1. You need to get lost to find what you need.
2. You need to lose what you like to find what you love.
3. You have to be scared to remember how to feel.
4. And you need to remember what it means to live again.

I have been craving to blog for about 2 months now but haven't taken action on it. These are some of the truths that I've found over the last year and am still figuring out how to understand them. I need to remember what it feels like to be happy again. I have been trying so hard but sometimes I fail. It is ok though. I am finding me again.

A new chapter

I've loved this blog but I feel that it is time to be more creative.

That is why I am starting a creations blog and that is where I will be blogging from now on.

I thank you for the great comments and support you have all given me and hope you continue on with me and my growth.

A toast....

To the friends that are here and afar off, to the fights we may and may not have had. To sorrow, anger and laughter we have had over the years. Here's to the friends and family in my life who have always been there for me. I am sorry if I have ever been to busy or have hurt you, cause truly it was not meant to come off that way. Here's to inside jokes and confusion, misunderstanding and acknowledgement. Here's a glass (of cider) to comrades from the past, present and future. To those who are no longer in my life because of the choices we had to make, that led us to different roads. Here's to the future and to a hope of happiness, for those I know and will know. I raise my glass to friends, family and happiness for the future.

(P.S. I was always told to live in the moment through my eyes, not through a camera lens so unfortunately I do not have as many pictures as I would have liked)
