Quote of the Day

Date Night @ the ballpark

Tonight Jackson and I had a "date night"!! For those of you that know what a "perfect" date is, you will agree there is nothing better than a baseball game!! We took Trax up to the stadium and from there enjoyed a Victory from our very own Salt Lake Bees!

This was the PERFECT DATE!!! Thanks Jackson for being such a sweetheart!

Moosehorn - Kings Peak

Most people go for the "pop" "bang" and "sparkles" over the 4th of July weekend. Personally I was blessed enough to go enjoy the great outdoors for the holiday weekend.

We made camp at Moosehorn which was within 100 yards from the lake! Could we get any closer to a lake for fishing!!!

However my friend Jeff has been talking about this "hidden" lake that his dad use to take him to, during his childhood years. (I realized why it was the "hidden" lake. The sign was laying down on the ground! No signage. No lake!)

The hike to the lake was a fun .25 miles. The weather couldn't have been better (if you ignore the 30 mins of wind and rain while we were at the lake)

Fishing was amazing.... bites left and right! I had to throw Kona's ball out in the water for her to go after to scare the fish away!! ha ha (actually if you know anything about labs, they LOVE water! Let me just say, my pole was resting nicely against a tree as I played fetch with Kona in the lake!)

In just our short stay we saw so many awesome things that Mother Nature has! Utah really is an AMAZING place! I can honestly say that this was the first July 4th I was able to make a snowman! (A very sad and pathetic snowman, non the less, a SNOWMAN!!!)

Brother Trouble!

CONGRATULATIONS BROTHER TROUBLE!!!!!

For those of you that know Brother Trouble you will know that this band is absolutely amazing! The sound, the lyrics, the members, the family of the band... UHHHHH the entire package! I heart you all!!!! :) And for those of you that don't know who Brother Trouble is click here: Brother Trouble

For those of you readers that don't know why i'm congratulating Brother Trouble.. let me explain! They are are an amazing duet (I think I already mentioned amazing!) that in the past were invited to participate in Nashvilles "Can you Duet". They play for radio stations, nightclubs, etc out in Nashville and are really making a name! They recently auditioned for the opening act for Kenny Chesney! Well if you can't already tell they tore the other bands out of the water!!!! They will be opening this Saturday for Kenny Chesney in Nashville at the Titans Stadium!!! Truly an amazing opportunity!

I want to personally give my deepest wishes and love to Mark & Ashley! There is not one minute in the day that goes by, where I don't have you in my thoughts! I absolutely love you and care for you two! You are both in my thoughts and prayers! Ash your phone call was needed!!! I miss you girl so much! In the words of Ash and Suz "i love you long time!" ha ha ha

Don't Ever Give Up!

Looking back at the past few months (in fact the past year) I am speechless! So many trials, bumps, situations and lessons have taken place. So many times I have wanted to throw my hands up in the air and just scream ENOUGH!!

Life is really quite interesting and humorous at times! "Why did that just happen?" You really never quite know "WHY" at the time these situations come into play. Do we ever really figure out "WHY" "it" happened? Maybe a week, 2 months or even a year down the road? Until that moment of light shining through your head--- it's the people around us that helps us that make times much easier or bearable!

Through the past few months I have had the opportunity to have Ty Bud live with me! Life is throwing challenges and curve balls left and right! I can honestly say that having him live with me has been a blessing in disguise! He is one person that can always make me smile and laugh. Ty has the most genuine/sincere heart I have ever seen in anyone. This experience has also been tough and really frustrating at times. I have seen first hand how hard life can be. It makes me sad how much evil is out in the world that we all are faced with daily. I get so frustrated and want to shelter him away from evil to help him with a faster recovery. Unfortunately I"m not superwoman- I have to let him do things for himself.

I want to let him know that I'm so proud of him!!! The road that we have seen the past few months has not been easy. However I look at him and just smile! His efforts and attitude towards life has really changed for the positive. I'm so very proud of him and will always be there to support him!

Whether it be in the workplace, relationships/dating, marriages, home-life, or just life in general - Don't ever give up! There are people out there that love you and support you for who you are! Keep strong and keep your chin up! Things happen for a reason. People come IN and OUT of your lives for a reason! Soak in the moment whether it is good or bad!

Fight till the end! Let the people around you be your support! Life is tough for everyone on different levels. You never know your comment / quote / thought / experience might be exactly what another needs to hear or read.

Thank you to all of my family and friends that have been there and still continue to help me through my life!

TOWANDA!
