THANK YOU SUNNY CALIFORNIA!!

So the word on the street.. or shall I say facebook is that it SNOWED in Utah this week!! Now if I was still there I would be TICKED!! anytime it snows before Halloween when I lived in Utah I was always so mad and bitter about it.

On the bright side, I am going to be a brat for a minute and rub it in all of your faces that here in Cali this week the weather has been absolutley beautiful!! Seriously my bro in law Scott even took my niece Zoe to the beach yesterday, and where I work people are laying out by the pool! It is almost November and people are laying out? ha LOVE IT! I have never experienced this before at this time of year. Usually for me it hits the end of September and I start to hate until the end of March or April until it starts to get warm again in Utah. However, this year months mean nothing cause it will be warm or atleast luke warm all year! muaahhhh hahhaa!!

Now the last couple weeks in Cali the weather was kind of lame, it rained here for a week straight and yes I was quite ticked about it... however everybody here kept telling me it was just a fluke and that it never rains here and the weather here is always usually pretty nice... so I bared with it and knew it would pass. I also figured as long as I did not have to deal with snow I could not complain too much.

So yes I will bask in the sunlight here while you all freeze in the snow...

Mickey Mouse Disneyland Trick or Treat Party


It is amazing how much you take your parents for granted when you live with them. Now that I don't live with my mom and dad anymore I appreciate them so much more. Seriously moving out has made me realize how amazing my mom and dad truly are and how lucky I am to have them.

My mom use to drive me nuts at home in Utah at times, however now that I don't live there with her, the things that use to drive me nuts about her kinda make me laugh and miss her...wierd how that works. My dad is just so funny and handy and was able to give me a blessing this weekend and it made me so greatful for them. I love them so much!

We had alot of fun with them here and did alot of fall-ish things. We went to a pumkin patch Thursday night for Zoe, as well as a Halloween costume store to pick out costumes to wear to Disneyland's Trick or Treat party on Friday night.

Friday we went to Disneyland's Mickey Mouse Halloween party. Everybody dresses up to go, and they kick everybody else out who does not have a ticket for it out of the park. They have trick or treat stations all around Disneyland where they pass out HUGE amounts of candy, and I mean the good stuff like Gardelli chocolates, M&M's, Snickers, Milkyways, etc. We ended up getting SO much candy seriously we each had 2 huge bag fulls! It is bitter sweet because now we are going to be eating candy for months...


On Saturday we just kind of hung out and took it easy during the day. Then at night we all went to the beach and took pictures and got hot chocolate.. it was kinda cold that day, however our pictures turned out great.

My parents left on Sunday morning. They never stay that long, but it was great to spend time with them and see them again to be able to appreciate them more.

Am I Really Awake Right Now?







So..... as crazy as this sounds, it is 5:00 am right now and I have already been at work for almost a half hour, as well as been awake and up and going for an hour and a half already....depressing? a little bit ya! I work at a gym, and since most gyms open at 5:00 am, that means on the days I open I am scheduled to work at 4:45 am which means I have to wake up around 3:40 am and leave my house by 4:10 am...gross!


I do it, but not going to lie it is hard. On the nights before the morning I have to wake up at the crack of dawn, I try to be in bed by 9:30 or 10:00 pm, however for people my age in my generation that is nearly impossible to do... we are just not trained to go to bed that early!


The good thing about working so early is that I get off work by 11:00 am. However, since I work at the gym, I stay after work to get my work out in for the day, so I don't usually get done until about 1 pm, but still to be done with work and working out by 1:00 pm everyday is pretty sweet! If I have nothing going on that day and nothing that I seriously need to get done, I go home and take a much needed nap, and let me tell you what, I love my naps!
My mom however wakes up at 3:30 am every morning by choice cause she is an overachiever... she tries to accomplish the world all before she leaves for work at 7:00 am. Seriously that woman is AMAZING, a little crazy at times, but AMAZING!

So here is props to my mom, and a little venting time from me about my schedule...
