Sunday Swim Commencement!

YAY! we are finally getting some Authentic June Weather! As a result: Sunday Swim is back in comission!! Basically what happens is every sunday we go swimming at our apartment complex, and we usually invite a few friends to come hang out. Afterwards we continue with our game night tradition!! I don't have any pics from yesterday but these are a few from a couple sundays back!Scott,Andy, Alex,Margery and her fam, and Marissa and Joe were there to help us kick of the official SS of the season!!! What will we do to keep the tradition alive when we move???? Hopefully someone can help us build on it!!

Birthday Bash of the century

So, my Birthday is coming around the corner again and I am not quite sure what theme I should go with this year. Last year was probably the most kick ass party ever(right in first place with skoot's Luau a few years back). . .I need some ideas! Anyone have some? This pic is of me and my cousin Tony from my party last year. It was such a blast! It was a mardi Gras theme and we had so much fun making the masks, they actually turned out way awesome too!!

Family is supposed to be forever? right?

So, I just recently went to a family gathering(we've actually been invited to one!) and It made me realize how torn my family is ever since my abuelita passed away. . I have so many cousins that I never get to see because our family is feuding over something that happened so long ago! I feel that we are caught in a battle that we aren't even fighting.I have no idea what they are even fighting for or who chose my side for me! If my abuelita's kids want to fight over something then let them but they shouldn't drag all of us cousins into it too. It is ridiculous that I cannot invite my whole family to our WEDDING even without some people saying that they will not go if certain people are there. Can't they grow up and realize that you are there to show your support to your family, can't they be adults and put away their differences for one day? Of Course not! I have a cousin that didn't show up to my weddding because she said I didn't go to hers. . . Pretty sure I was MAYBE 10 when she got married!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!? And her mom can look right through me and walk right past me when she sees me. . . The only one in that little fam that I can say still realizes what a family is would be my uncle. Regardless of what is going on, he will still come and say hi and give us hugs to show that he still cares. . . Some families need to realize that fighting over something trivial is not worth a whole lifetime of loneliness

New House Here We Come!

We have Found a House!!!! Skoot and I are in the process of buying our first house! We are so excited! It is in West Jordan, and I absolutely love it! It's actually kinda funny because we found this house on the first day we started looking. It was seriously like the 5th house we had looked at. Our Realtor was saying that he had seen very few people get excited about any house like I did with this one . . Of course to make everyone happy(and Satisfied) we went and looked at about fifteen more. We eventually had to decide between this one or one in Herriman. It was a really hard decision because each house had some things we liked that the other house didn't. . . but our feelings were mutual that this was our dream home!!! It is such an amazing thing to be able to say that I am accomplished enough to buy a house at the age of 21! We close on July 14th!!!

Skoot's Birthday BBQ

So, for Skoot's birthday this year we decided to have a chill BBQ(He thinks that 23 is not worth celebrating)and we had a really great turnout, Skoot didn't even think he knew that many people!! We made so much food!! Lol, shis-kabobs, burgers and hot dogs, not to mention a ton of salads and fruit and cake and just a whole lot of food delightfulness! It rained most of the day but luckily we were at his parents' house and they have a big covered deck so it wasn't a huge party spoiler. . . lol I did get a little mad that I was stuck grilling the whole time, hence the pic of me looking pissed! I must say though, for it being my first time on the grill, I sure did a damn good job! Special thanks to marissa for being my grill mate!

Miss gay Iowa US of A

Andy and I went to Iowa with NOVA STARR to compete in the miss Iowa US of A Pageant to qualify for nationals. . . Lol, I had a BLAST! Funny how I never Imagined myself dancing in drag pageants and now I love it! Here are some pics from that weekend

WOW! You said it george!

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk to much, love too seldom and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just move on...Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved one, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give to to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
