at this whole blogging thing again,
apparently i was wrong.

here's my life since the last post..
walker is home.
jordan is home.
jake is home.

i have hardly seen any of them :/

but it's almost christmas! & that's
exciting right?! i can't wait!

and i've become addicted to pintrest.
i don't know how to use it yet,
but i just spend hours on there looking
at pictures. right now this is my
favorite one:

isn't it so fantastic?!
i know a ton of people have already
seen it but i love it nonetheless!

luckily, only 4 months of that
is a LOT of book work. come
january i will be working in
the hospitals. and i am NERVOUS
but SO excited!

im still teaching primary.
i love my kids with all my
heart. they are so sweet. BUT
i think im ready to take a
break from kids for a while.
im CONSIDERING singles yard come

goes! im once again nervous,
but excited!

Thailand babbbyyyy!

Sounds like every nail tech ive ever met!

I think we get it, they hope she gets over last week

I do not like constantines adidas sandals

he doesnt speak english?!

She looks like a performing monkey in that hat

they arent married why are they asking for marriage advice?

Is the net over the stripped shirt part of her normal shirt?
Looks like a bib

Im sick of hearing about bentley leaving

sweat like a beast?

Why would you tell another guy how
much you liked someone else?

Did she call him stiff?

Why would you be surprised that other
people are kissing her?

Why is she the only one with an umbrella?

Yeah jp, im sure SHE chose to be there

why does it make everyone mad that
hes trying to be organized?

No one did flirt with her... whats wrong with them?

Ben f painted an elephant well!

HULA HOOP-YESSS!!

oversized jacket not my thing

ashley was buzzing around ben?!

Why do ben f and ashley kiss for
2 seconds and pull away a million times?

Her hair is awful

jp is sweet

he fell trying to lift her-love it

ames runs funny

ames reminds micah of someone scooby doo

he doesnt touch her

70 countries...man id marry him to travel!

What are they eating?

They almost match..

he didnt know he was funny?

No kiss- odd

i like ames more now!

disappointed by thailand

poor west

first of all let me apologize that these are in
reverse alphabetical order...except for batman here:)

i dont know who of you are familiar with the
morman in manhattan blog, but i love it! annnnd
i stole this idea from her. she and some friends
would get together watch the bach. and blog
about it. so me and the girls at work discuss
the bach. on a weekly basis and these will
be our little tidbits! enjoy

my dear friend batman. aka JEFF.
he wont take off the mask.
mental stability is questionable!

william- seems like a sweetheart!
too bad he probably works for verizon.
his apartment looked like a college dorm.
not many of us would seriously consider him
which is too bad. he seems so nice!

west- love the compass idea.
worried hes not over his former wife.
ps did that story not just tug at
your heart strings?! so sad!
but loving the name, different but
not straight up weird!

stephen- really?! a hair dresser?
i'd pass! he was a little too interested in her new
hair color! and his hair isnt even great!

ryan p- we love him!
and he got the first rose!
hopefully thats a good sign!
so stinkin adorable!

ryan m- honestly...
not much was said about him...
hardly even remember seeing him..

nick- hair is killer.
not super sure how to feel about this one.
interesting choice?

mickey- really wasnt shown much.
fairly attractive.
dar hair. blue eyes. simply AMAAAZZZING!

matt- there are mixed feelings.
mom talking about having sex the first night
is a tad odd for me, but the others thought
it was clever and well played!

lucas- again not shown much.
not terrible looking!

jp- cant lie everyone was loving him.
his cute little smile.
ironic cupcake story.
who wouldnt love him so far!?

constatine- not diggin him.
bad hair. not cute.

chris d- handsome guy.
again another one of those not so
seen boys this episode!

blake- dentist.
not a fan of his mouth.
maybe 1 dentist is enough in a relationship.

ben f- his hair was so greasy!
winemaker so the girls at the office want him!
seems sweet. needs a good bottle
of dry shampoo to calm down the grease!

bentley bentley bentley- SCUM.
wish he was gone.
ashley is wayy too attracted to him, not
quite as hot as she thinks!
jerk jerk jerk.
can i just say the previews of the
season make him look like an
AWFUL person...way to be!

ben c- is it just me or did they only show like
5 of these guys total? does anyone remember him!?

ames- hate to say it, but officially
nicknamed Quasimodo.
no idea why ashley kept him?
he has like a million degrees....
does that mean hes rich?
maybe she wants his money?

and who just did not DIE about that guy passing out..
like thats an awesome thing to be known for,
"hey arent you that guy who passed out drunk on
national tv?!" "oh yeah, yeah that was me.."
PROUD MOMENT FOR THAT LOSER. geez.

the girls at work, and i, look forward to posting
every week. hopefully as things heat up
our posts will get better. feel free to add your
input. CANT WAIT FOR THE SEASON TO PROGRESS.

well i took a break from this whole blogging thing...
but guess what im back! i needed something more
to entertian myself with. as of right now, i still dont
have incredibly excited stuff to post buuuuut
im hoping that in a short 8 months ill have
interesting things to post about my time working
in the hospital as a rad tech student. cross our
fingers that i even get there! ha. 3 weeks into
school and i want to die. school is not my thing!
let me recap the first few weeks to catch you up...

week one:
student study skills
...this is a book
....use a highlighter
.....study groups are helpful

homework? oh yeah... thats a joke thus far...

week two:
positioning class
....laying on your back is a SUPINE position
.....images that are too dark are not good
.......blurry pictures are not good

radiology class
....if you smile while talking your voice is more pleasant
......dont be overly touchy
........address older people as MR. MRS. -------

homework? post an answer to the question "whats your patient population bias?"

week three:
position class
.....75 question multiple choice test
.......2 question competency

radiology class
....life expectancy in swaziland is 31yrs old
......homicide is the 15th most common reason
for death in the us
.........cancer costs more than 70mill a year

homework? oh yeah another discussion post...
this time on religion/politics interfering
with pt healthcare

im in school?? oh yeah... weird i almost forgot.

also, i HATE sharing a desk with someone at work.
shes only there 2 afternoons a week and i
feel like she destroys my desk on a daily basis.
i literally reorganize every morning..awesome.

well hopefully something more exciting will happen soon!

HE PICKED EMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my heart goes out to chantal, especially
since i have SOO recently felt that EXACT
same way. but i KNEW from day one
it was gunna be emily!!!!

2011-03-01T11:08:00.003-07:00

once again i find myself amazed
at just how quickly life can
change. for the good, or the bad.
and i dont think id really ever
be one to say "its fate!"
when something happens, but i
guess i will just this one time.
i had an experience this weekend
that quite frankly i can
only sum up to fate because it
was definitely not the weekend i
had planned for myself. and it
is a long story, that for the sake
of not crying at work right now
i am not going to explain at this time
but maybe one day ill tell you,
(not that anyone really cares)
but i just keep reminding myself that
when one door closes another door opens
and im trying to be optimistic
about my little run in with "fate."
im keeping my fingers crossed.
my expectations in check.
and my head held high.
life is gunna be great!

xoxo

2011-01-26T13:07:00.006-07:00

that word right there describes me
so very well right now. i really dont
think i have been THIS happy in a very
long time. my family is great. work is
good. my boyfriend is amazing. i got
into school. and im just overall really
enjoying life. things couldnt get
any better:)

2010-12-21T08:46:00.002-07:00

something about this time of
year makes me miss being a kid.
partially because i wish i still
believed in santa clause. partially
because playing with my cousins
and having our annual sleepover
was something so simple (we had
sleepovers alllll the time anyway)
but during christmas break was a
million times more exciting than
usual!

and because i revert back to my
childhood memories i also revert
back to my childhood music &
movies. last night i watched
BEAUTY & THE BEAST - i forgot how
much i absolutely looove that
movie! im a hopeless romantic i
cant help but to love that movie!
and then i watched little mermaid
number 2. it was not very good,
they just realllly RARELY can pull
off a good second movie. i was
disappointed.

as for the music..lately ive been
in the mood for *Nsync, BBMAK,
Backstreet Boys, Avril, Brittney,
all the 'classics' (and yes i use
that term loosely of course!)
but it just makes me so happy. and
i super love when i remember alllll
the words to the song still.

i think eisley worded my feelings
just perfectly in the song that
says.. "ill shall never grow up,
make believe is much too fun"

2010-12-08T09:01:00.002-07:00

IT'S FINALLY STARTING TO
FEEL LIKE CHRISTMAS! :)

2010-11-09T21:53:00.003-07:00

so for about the last week and a half this
little number has been my nightly date:

(i forgot how terrible it is to get BACK
into running, i should have just never stopped..)

but when my legs look like these sexy
things again i will remember why i am putting
myself through this. lets just hope i can really
stay motivated, i NEED this, if for nothing
else but to like taking pictures of myself again.
haha just kidding, but really i do need this.
i am going to get this.
i am going to kick my treadmills butt!

pray for me to stay motivated?!! :)

xoxo abby

2010-11-02T08:42:00.006-07:00

here is a brief look at what i have
been up to lately:

Fear Farm, we went with a huge group of
like 20+ people. (obviously not all in
this picture) and it was a lot of fun.
worst part of the night- zach trying to
feed me to the clowns. such a punk! :)

halloween! i love my little kiddos. hallie
is a ballerina, paige a ghost,
and brayden Buzz Lightyear.
hallie and paige are so thrilled to be in this
picture as you can seeeeee, and the wind is making
my hair a hot mess..i wasnt even supposed to be
in this picture but i am actually glad i am!
i love them!

i am skipping letter 29 and
moving onto number 30

MEEEEE:)
good job on finishing this letter
challenge and even though you
didnt actually do EVERY letter, it
made you think about a lot of people
and experiences youve had in life,
dont forget any of them, good or bad
they changed your life and made you
you. now go call brayden for his b-day.

wow, i am retarded! i have two
number 27's as well! ahhh.
okay well i am skipping the one
about "the nicest person i knew
for only a day" because i dont
consider that knowing someone, i
consider that meeting someone!

LETTER 27-
Someone who changed my life:

i do not feel it is necessary to
use a name on this letter, purely
because it wont be the nicest. for
a good year or so, because of my
interaction with you i was a bitter,
angry, sad, moody, rude person. and
yet i never distanced myself from
you because i thought "we loved
eachother" and yet i think deep down
i ALWAYS knew that wasnt the case,
because people who love eachother do
NOT treat eachother the way we EVER
did. you caused trust issues in my
life because after 5 years of trying
i thought wed be PERFECT together and
all you did was tear me to shreds!
but now some time later, i am a much
stronger better person! and ive
learned to let go of some of those
issues, because i KNOW not every guy
will treat me the way you did. and
even though this letter sounds angry,
and bitter it is not. we have spoken
about this, and forgiveness has been
given where it was needed. i do
honestly and truly THANK YOU, because
without the experiences we went
through i would not be the girl that
i am today.

letter 26.

the last person i made a pinky
promise to..ZACH BORUM!
i pinky promised at the lake like 2
weeks ago that i would get out of
the boat and learn how to do
something, and I DID!!
i told you i have never broken
a pinky promise and i did not
intend to start that day. im
super glad you made me get out
and learn how to wake surf..maybe
one day ill get a little better
at it! but at least i got up right?!
also, i really hope that you
do teach me how to snowboard this
winter. i might wanna cry, and i
might tell you i hate you a time or
two, but i know it will totalllly be
worth it! and i super hope i dont break
any bones, or then i WILL really hate
you. im happy your family moved into my
ward/neighborhood and we "decided" to
become BFFFFFFFF:) ha

xoxo, Abby

2010-10-19T09:11:00.003-07:00

letter 25-

to the person i know that is
going through the worst of times-
i am sorry that i am such a
horrible friend. and yet to think
the thought of you moving away
from me makes me sad. i was so not
excited for you about wanting to
move to colorado for school, because
i am selfish. i am not there for
you very often, but i dont want you
to leave so when i need you, you
will be there. i dont often text you
just to talk anymore, and to be
COMPLETELY honest, most the time i
just ignore your texts. i am so mean
to you, and i KNOW that doesnt help
any when you go through what you go
through every day with your family.
i am so sorry. i promise i will work
on being less selfish and more caring
when it comes to the friendship
you and i have. i hope you know i
love you and care about you so very
much, i just dont show it very well!

xoxo Abby

2010-10-18T09:58:00.003-07:00

I MISSED A FEW DAYS SO THERE IS MORE
THAN ONE LETTER ON THIS POST!!

im sure it didnt take anyone else
as long as it has taken me to realize
i have two number 18's. dont
hate, sometimes i cant count thats
all:) so i am skipping the first
number 18 & going to the second
number 18.

Someone that pesters my mind, good
or bad-

i cant get too specific here, i dont
want to be a creeper.so this letter
will be short, simple and sweet.
as of late i think about you probably
213847238 times a day..and thats a
lot, but its definitely for the better:)

i am now skipping letter 20, because i
do not believe there is a reason to
open up old wounds. things happen!
i am also skippin letter 21, because
you judge everyone by their first
impression, but that doesnt mean much..
and yes, i am skipping 22 also, because
i give EVERYONE more chances than they
ever deserve, i always have and always
will, its sometimes a strength, other
times a major weakness!

letter 23, THE LAST PERSON I KISSED-
i guess i corrupted you, seeing as how
you have never kissed a girl who wasnt
actually your girlfriend, until me.
but oh well.im sure you were fine with
it, i mean you hadnt kissed a girl
in over 2 yrs so i cant really blame
you. i wish you the best!

*and the final letter that catches me up
to today!letter #24 - the person who
gave me my favorite memory-

id have to say this memory belongs with
my first kiss. i was 13, you were older,
and quite possibly the most amazing boy
i had ever met. i was in love, yes even
at 13. you changed my life forever, and
sometimes i love you for that, other
times i hate you for that too. but im
beyond grateful for the experiences you
gave me.i dont think a girl ever forgets
her first kiss, and i can remember a
majority of that entire day, down to what
i was wearing. yes, that day was THAT
important to me. again, thank you for that
day, and for being the friend you continue
to be. Good luck in the UAE!

xoxo, abby

2010-10-15T10:55:00.002-07:00

i am skipping letter number 16
and moving onto letter 17,

somone from my childhood..

i am picking

SISTER KILLPACK- as a little girl
you were like my second mom!
even though you had all boys, you
owned an easy bake oven, a mickey
dees fry makerand a million other
little girl bakery things. i loved
it. i remember just getting off
the bus at your house every day and
staying there as late as i could,
you guys were like my second family
and i loved it. i basically grew
up with 6 brothers..even though i
always wanted to marry ben..weird..
ha. i miss living around the corner
from you guys but i am so grateful
that we run into each other from time
to time. you are adorable and i
love you so very much!!!

xoxo Abby

2010-10-14T08:43:00.002-07:00

well once again i am skipping a letter,
number 13. i have to be honest, i am not
too concerned about who has a grudge
against me, and maybe thats rude but it
is their deal not mine:)

i will also be combining letters 14 &15
because they are infact one in the same..

even though there are 2 of them..ha

JB_ i miss you mister missionary. i feel
as of late we have less and less to
talk about in our letters and it makes me
sad. you just need to come home and we
can be bff again and everything will be so
much better. :)

Karebear_ i feel like every one of these
stikin letters about missing someone is
about you! hhmmm, i wonder why!? maybe b/c
you are my best friend in the whole entire
world and like one of the onnlllyyyy girls
i ever talk to, i live in a boys world, AHH.
i super hope you come visit for thanksgiving
so i can see that cute little belly of yours
and then christmas! we need to get this
little boy a name! i wanna buy him presents!
i wanna come visit you in texas!! we need to
plan a weekend and ill totalllly come in like
a millisecond! miss you girl!!!

xoxo abby

2010-10-13T08:55:00.003-07:00

i a no skipping letter 11
and moving onto letter 12-

someone who has hurt me-
i can think of a few of you,
but it also reminds me of this
quote:

so obviously at the time you
mattered to me a lot. but just
like i wrote in the letter to
my "exes" it made me who i am
so i can't really say i am angry
about it. sometimes i feel like
you owe me so much because of
how you made me feel, but i KNOW
in at least one instance, i was just
as bad if not worse to you. some
people would be skeptical of this,
but i truly believe time heals all
wounds.

xoxo abby

2010-10-12T08:56:00.005-07:00

i am skipping letter # 9 because
i dont know who i would like to meet,

but letter(s) # 10

(in no specific order)

Karen- i miss talking to you all the time!
its sad that now you are no longer around
the corner from me and we talk wayy less. i
miss just being able to call you and be
like lets go shopping tonight! or just come
by your house to get music off itunes.
i wish you still lived in az and not stikin
texas! ggrrr. but i am coming to play
soon i hope! i miss you so much!!

Jessi- although ASU is much closer than
texas, we still hardly ever talk and i
really miss it! i miss you! we used to talk
all the time about anything and everything!
you were my first friend in our neighborhood
and at Ishikawa, ahhh. i miss the good
old days of constant sleep overs, watching IT,
making snow cone juice "medicine" and swimming!
youve been a great friend for soooo many years
and i love you!

alyssa- WHY DID YOU MOVE TO CALI?!!
i miss you so much. same thing as with karen,
as soon as you move away we stop talking as
much. i miss it. i see our pictures from the
cabin trip all the time and i miss that so much!
i wanna go back! you need to come home for
a loooong time so we can take a weekend and head
up there! im so glad to hear things are going
well with you and danny, you definitely deserve
it after all that you have been through. he is
one lucky guy! miss youuu!!!

JBanner- i miss you so freakin much. over the
past year (yeah, literally almost a year
-16 days and we are half way there!) there has
been so many times when i have hated not being
able to just call you or text you to talk.
you always knew how to brighten my day,
mainly because you are a big dork and
i love that about you! and even though you
plan on moving to utah when you get home
(lameo!) i cant wait to see you again.
ill have my boy BFF home:)

Jules- ever since you got married i feel like
you died. and i mean that nicely of course!
i TOTALLLLY understand that as a married &
PREGNANT women you have a lot on your plate,
but i miss you! we have had soo much fun
together over the years! we are gunna to dinner
soon! love you and miss youuu!!

im sure there are a few other people who should
be on this list but i do not have time to write
any more at the moment. ill come back later:)

letter # 8- best internet friend

JASON- lets be honest, we've never met
in person, therefore you are very much
my best internet friend! ha. i adore you.
i think you are hilarious, and sooo
sweet! i love talking to you, although
it is often quite a bit of time between
our conversations:/ you're an awesome guy &
maybe one day you will move back down

2010-10-10T19:56:00.002-07:00

and moving onto number 7

dear ex- well im not going to pick
one specifically, so here is a
letter to all my exes in general..
i have learned quite a bit from all
of you, and although at the time
i probably wanted to kill you, i
truly grateful for anything and
everything you put me through, it
made me who i am, taught me what i
want in a guy, and made me realize
that i do not want to compromise
myself for anyone. so thank you!

letter #2

well lets be honest, i have more than
1 crush..so here are my 3 number 2's

crush number 1-
J.T, i have loved you since i was about
8years old. i used to know all sorts
of random pointless facts about you, and
i was soo proud of that. when my cousins
and i used to play house we ALWAYS had
to be celeb couples, i got you and
brit every time. loved it! i need to go
see your new movie, which will be
a miracle because i NEVER go to the
movies!but i cant resist your sexy face.

crush number 2-
what to sayyyy. uhm MAKE UP YOUR MIND. i
do not like limbo land. i wont be around
for forever. your a great guy, you
just need to figure out what it is YOU
want before you try to involve other
people. -to be read in a sincere,
kind voice; it sounds a little harsh,
not my intention!-

crush number 3-
you dont even know who you are, at
least i dont THINK you know who you
are. im not always good at hiding things
so there is a possibility you may.
i guess ill leave this little letter at,
hopefully sooner rather than later
we can see if this MIGHT go somewhere.
until then, im just crushin' on you.

that i am going to attempt this.
BUT with a twist,
im only going to do them IF i think they
apply to me, maybe one day ill come back to
the other ones if in the future they apply.

so here is MY letter # 1

dear best friend- I MISS YOU.
more than you could imagine.
i hate that you dont live less than 1 minute away
from me anymore. im grateful i still feel that
i can be "part of your family" i love them.
and i hope your little sisters know if they
EVER need something i can be there for them
if you cant for some reason. they are my
adopted little sisters.
im so happy i got to be in your wedding
-MAID OF HONOR- HOLLLLA.
and im stoked that i caught your boquet.
i cant wait to for your beautiful baby come
into this world. ill need to come to texas
asap when the little one comes!
i miss talking as much as we used to.
love you!!

dear other best friend- (yes i have more than 1)
i love you. im so glad no matter what we can
talk as if we talk everrrry single day,
even though sometimes MONTHs may pass in
between. i also MISS YOU! i remember you
telling me in my bathroom while i was getting
ready that you were moving and we both
just started crying. i was trying not to
mess up my make up since i had JUST finished
doing it but crying with you was more
important at that second for sure. i really
want to come visit you in cali. we would
have a blast, just like we did spring break
sr year.. what were those boys names?!
TWO OF THEM WERE THE SAME! ahh. ha
love you!!

last but not least,

dear other best friend- one day fairly soon you
wont just be my friend, you will be my cousin!
ahh how exciting! i love that we've stayed
friends through so many changes in both of our
lives! im especially grateful for the fact
you started dating my cousin because without
that i dont know that we would necessarily
be as close today as we are! but i love it. i
know i can talk to you about anything and
that not matter what youve got my back.
i hope you know ive got yours too!
love you!!

is it just me or does it seem lately
that everyone is falling in

and getting married? or having a baby?
that's definitely happening allllll around.
sometimes it bums me out. i cant help
but to think "when will it be my
turn?!"i know, poor patheic abby
right?! haha just kidding but for
real, i mean i cant be the only
girl out there who feels this wayyy.
i just had to get it out.

but congrats to all you soon to
be newly weds and mommies.

xoxo

2010-09-26T22:48:00.002-07:00

lately, i have put my blog on
the back burner, partially because
since i have been home from mexico
i havent had much access to my
own computer, semi my fault.
i need a new power cord for my comp
but after i leave work i dont
really think about it, nor
do i really want to go to the store.
i think i am going to go tomo.
though because i really miss having
own computer all the time!
anyway, my life is not too exciting.
my latest thing is my journal.
i try to write in it every day, and
if i dont i write extra long the
next day! i love it. it is a great
way to relieve stress. im not
gunna lie, today is kid of a sad day,
because eric and kelly left for
a month up to pinetop for a rotation.
it makes me sad i wont get to see
them or my precious little paige for
a month. im going to miss them so much!
today was her blessing, eric did
an amazing job! i might have to take
off from M-town for the mountains
a time or two over the next month! i
dont know if i can go without seem them!
anyway, off to do some other great &
exciting things!

alightyyyyy...so today we had
class. how fun. syke. but really
its not tooo super bad. nicole
and i have been lucky to get along
with everyone the whole time, and
with each other. there are other girls
though, who have not been so lucky.
its slightly annoying, but at least we
get to stay out of it! as for
other news..homework really sucks but
honestly it gives nicole and i
something to do because we dont party.
also, my mom sent nicole and i a
package last week and we were supposed
to get it by friday.. fedex called
me today, after grant called them, to
let me know that we never received it
because customs will not authorize
beef jerky and fruit punch packets to
enter the country. isnt that so odd?!
but they said they can remove them and
send us the rest so we will get it on like
monday..less than a week before we leave!
haha. but ill be glad to have it!!!!!

today for spanish class my teacher;
who happens to be pretty awesome,
took us to this little cafe in
the park to practice for our
spanish final, which i am muy
neverosa for. because for siete
minutos he gets to ask me any pregunta
he wants from siete paginas.
NO ME GUSTA NADA. becuase i am
terrible at answering questions
in spanish. i have like 3 word
answers which means he will have more
time to ask me question. AYE.
i need to learn longer responses
MUY RAPIDO!!!

tambien, este noche tenemos
un clase para aprender BAILAR..
NO ME GUSTA NADA. estoy terrible.
seriously nicole said it,
WHITE GIRLS CAN'T DANCE..well i
can, just not the salsa and the
other dances we learned tonight..
especially when i feel like mi
pantelones are going to fall off..
i dont konw if its because i have
lost weight (which i hope it is)
or because we have to dry all our
clothes by clothing line outside
so they don't get tightened by the
dryer..so hmm..no se. anywayyy
i didn't take any pictures of this
monstrosity so SORRY!

only one more : saturday, sunday,
monday, and tuesday leftttt!!! ha

daddy

2010-06-20T13:07:00.002-07:00

so i had this great long post written
all about my dad, but i've decided
instead to make it short and sweet.

i am a daddy's girl, my dad is the
MOST AMAZING MAN i have, and will
ever know. (sorry to my future husband)
i am so grateful for him, and EVERYTHING
he does for me!

DADDY YOU'RE SIMPLY THE BEST.
I LOVE YOU!!!!

these are the only pictures
i have, since i don't have my
computer :(

2010-06-18T19:53:00.003-07:00

alright so i totally forgot to mention yesterday that
for spanish class we watched the mexicovfrance
game at the movie theater here with tons of
locals and it was really awesome. the fact that they
won alos made it soo much better!

today i found out that this mom of one of the
girls here is willing to bring down another
computer from my house for me so as of tuesday
i will no longer have to share with nicole..wooo!!
not that she isnt so nice for sharing it will
just be easier/better when we both have our own!!
anyway today our taxi driver who was taking us
to school was nuts. he said he knew where we were
going but boy was that wrong..we were like
so confused as to what was happening and he
drove like a total maniac but whatever..eventually
we got CLOSE enough to the school that we
could walk..the sucky thing, he charged us 30
pesos which was like one of the most expensive
rides that we've had, especially since he didnt even
take us where we were supposed to go! aye.
nicoles blog is probably much better than mine right
now since i am trying to not have to use her computer
too much so go check it out!! NICOLES BLOG

xoxo

2010-06-17T18:31:00.002-07:00

today my computer stopped freakin working again!!
so right now i am on nicoles. until i get it workin,
if i get it working i probably wont be blogging
so lets pray that i get it working or i will be
absolutely bored out of my mind!! aaahhh.
anyway i am gunna go..my brother and Jeff
are skyping nicole right now..but its really me..
weird.

xoxo

2010-06-16T20:57:00.002-07:00

well sadly i feel like my days are
becoming more and more mundane..
is that the correct spelling?!
anyway we went to the school today
i took some pictures but i havent
loaded them yet..they arent anything
super great. ill have to put them
up sometime though. we have tomorrow
and friday left at the school and then
we are just attending the university
for the rest of the time..its gunna
be a long 2 weeks since we will be
out of class by 145 with nothing to
do for the rest of the day..i really
hope i dont start feeling SUPER homesick
and emotional the last 2 weeks, i dont
need that!! haha. anyway thats about it
xoxo

2010-06-15T12:51:00.002-07:00

today we went back to our kindergarten
class, it was fun. they were excited
we were back since we hadnt been there
yesterday! they are so cute. we are
definitely going to miss them!
we didnt take any pictures today, we
forgot my camera but i was still fun!
all the new students from other
schools are here now, we see a few
of them every now and then. a
couple of them have asked about SB1070
and basically say its an embarrassment
to america. i just keep my mouth
shut because im pretty sure they would
not like me if they heard my opinion,
but hey whatever. also, one of the girls
in our group like lies about it.. which
i find oddly hilarious because she prides
herself on being an activist and helping
people but yet shes lying and making
arizona, where she lives, sound like a
terrible place full of terrible people
but nicole and i just keep quiet! ha.
anyway not much really happened today..
we have some dance class thingy tonight;
we will have to see what that means exactly!

xoxo

2010-06-14T20:09:00.002-07:00

today was a lonnnng day. we went to
xico (waterfalls) and only got
to see like one, but it was still pretty.
we also went to this rural school,
which by the way i cannot pronounce
dont make fun of me!! ha. it looked like
a jail, no joke. it was kinda sad.
but the kids were really nice. according
to the hispanic kid with us, all
the boys loved me a nicole..but its just
cause we are white!! it was grades
7-9 and like the TINNIEST classes ever.
i felt bad. i would hate a school that small!
but anyway it was a nice dayyy!!

xoxo

my heart leaf!

2010-06-13T15:41:00.000-07:00

last night the flamenco was awesome.
too bad nicole and i both forgot
cameras! ahh. but thats okay, we still
had fun! today we went to church
and they made us stand up and read our
names from the pulpit..i think
they must not get many visitors..then
we came home and have just been
laying around. we have to be up at 720
ish tomorrow to go with our group
to visit rural schools and some water falls
it should be fun! we will remember
our cameras too!!

xoxo

yesterday & today

2010-06-12T17:06:00.006-07:00

alright so im behind a day again.
sorry! :)
yesterday was the first world cup
game for mexico! needless to
say our class was very excited! it
was really so cute! da shawn,
nicole, camille, karissa, and i all
bought jerseys the other day
so we wore them to school. everyone
LOVED it. the principal took
a picture with nicole and i as soon
as she saw us. and everyone
was so excited we had mexico pride!
we really loved how excited
everyone was for the days events!
nicole has a video clip of
all the kids freakin out when they
found out that mexico had tied
the game! so check it out!
the teacher of our class also had this
little face painting thing and
did it on all the kids faces, including
nic and i. it was fun!

TODAY:
today we went to costco. and OMG we were
sooo incredibly happy to be there!
we felt at home! and got to buy sooooo
much food. we spent $1090.35..tons right?!
ha well it was pesos so not QUITE as
much as it seems luckily! and then we ate
at the costco food court. YUMMY!
today was really so awesome it will make
this last 3 weeks so much better
for us! also our host family had a BIG
party here today for a relatives
first communion (catholic). nicole and i
were actually asleep for the whole
thing because we got home from costco while
they were at the church. but it was
nice to sleep! we are going out to the
flamanco (spelling?!) tonight.
we really hope its not as terrible as the
last dance thing we went to! and
we found a near by LDS church so that
will be interesting tomorrow! anyway
time to go get ready for the night!

xoxo

a couple of the kids with the flags they made!

andres and valeria with the "war paint"

maria jose loves nicole and i, so in return she is one of our favorites!

jaime will not let me take his picture!!

emilliano is a crazy little kid

the teacher (super cute!) painting luis emillios face!

my face paint! :)

escuela.

2010-06-10T14:15:00.007-07:00

so this post is a day late. im sorry.
yesterday we spent the morning
at Normal Veracruzana again. it was
lots of fun. we gave the kids
stickers and they LOVED them. i loved
their cute little faces. we
definately got the most rambunctious
class of everyone! but we
probably would die with a silent class!
we love how active and friendly
they all are! we pretty much have all
their names down now, and we are
proud. we even notice who is missing from
class each day! ha they are so
adorable and make being here sooo worth it!
the last 2 weeks are going to kind
of suck without getting to see them. i
cant believe we only have one week left in
the class room! and then its allll
school for us and just doing whatever..too
bad since we dont party like everyone
else there isnt much for nicole and i to do!
but we will survive. unless, we go
to another HORRIBLE "ballet" like really? a
man dancing around in a skimpy black
thong for like 30 minutes..flopping on the
ground and other odd things..who
does that?! and then like this cannibal
girl. omg. worst thing ive ever
watched. luckily it was free!! wooo! hah.
then the guy at DQ was a freakin RACIST!
he would NOT even talk to me and
nicole when we went to get ice cream so
we left and came back with our
friends to see him serving the people
right in front of us..our turn
comes and "we are not open anymore" so
we leave but see people walk in
and then leave..with a dillybar! he
just wouldnt serve us! i was
very bitter. we all were. now i like
1070 even more! haha ;)

anyway today we went to the school
again, it was parents day in
our class so we didnt do much. we
cant wait to get back to class tomorrow!
he are some of the kids!!

first day of kindergarten!

2010-06-08T22:08:00.004-07:00

so today started our first day of kindergarten!
it was fun. the kids are so cute!
they speak sooooooo fast though, its little tough.
which is slightly embarrassing!
we had fun doing a little dance thing with them
first thing in the morning..i think
it was SUPPOSED to work off some energy, but not
our class. they were full of it, which
was fun but kind of hard! i look forward to spending
2 weeks with them! they are the highlight
of the day! nicole has pictures from today,
so look at HER BLOG.
im hopin my urge to go home will wear off
being around these little ones!

normal veracruzana

2010-06-07T13:33:00.003-07:00

this is the school we will be working at. Normal Veracruzana.
Nicole and I will be working with KINDERGARTENERS.
we are so excited!
one of the little girls had ABIGAIL as a middle name
and another had NICOLE. we were shocked!
we also saw some 2nd and 3rd graders
they were so excited to see us and LOVED
that we could speak english. they are so cute!
there was another school that we visited also,
i dont know the name. but it was a private
school, verrrryyy fancy. and
insanely different from the public school! it was
intense. they pay extra to be in an
all english class, thats pretty cool.
its crazy, because school here is out by 2! (aka lunch time)

anyway here are just a few pictures from
normal veracruzana!
the house and castle are the playground and
the colorful buildings are the class rooms!

xalapa

2010-06-06T18:38:00.005-07:00

we arrived in xalapa today after a 4
and a half hour bus ride. but we were
riding in first class, literally.
it was nice. our family picked us up at
the bus station. they speak NO english
and Nicole and i HARDLY speak any spanish.
its kinda tough.
i feel bad that i cannot communicate with
them better.

to be honest, im a little ready to come home :/

26 more days.

pyramids

2010-06-05T14:25:00.012-07:00

today has been a long but fun day. we had to
be up and ready to leave by 930 (730 az time) to go down to these pyramids for the
aztech people. (teotihuacan ruins)
they were pretty freakin cool.
the biggest pyramid had at least 250 steps which seems like cake right?
FALSE.
they are narrow, skinny, high steps @ a
ridiculous altitude. like you breathe soo
hard! its kinda pathetic.
but we had so much fun! and then
we headed off to this big museum. i guess its like one of the biggest museums around!
it was cool, but we didnt have much time
to spend there because we left the pyramids late. which brings me to my next
thing. i am SOOO glad nicole and i can
be on time people because there is
a group of 2, sometimes 4 girls who are NEVER
at the RIGHT meeting place at the RIGHT time and it drives the whole group
up the wall. like is so annoying. (in case you cared)
anywaaayyyy, here is a little of day 2::
for more check out nicoles blog

these are some of the people in our group at the bottom. i couldnt zoom anymore!

me on the steps of one of the surronding staircases

we made it to the top! temple of the moon in the back!

nicole and i infront of the temple of the sun!

a tad humid and warm during the day but good!

wedding dress.

2010-05-31T01:18:00.004-07:00

lately i have really liked to watch wedding dress
shows such as SAY YES TO THE DRESS and
GIRL MEETS GOWN
(yes to the dress is far better though)
ive decided it is a bad habit because now i like
to look at dresses on line. im not even seriously
dating anyone..sooooo whats my deal?! hah.

FOUR days till MEXICO!

espanol

2010-05-22T21:24:00.007-07:00

currently, trabajo en mi espanol.
i figured since i leave in 13 days that i might need to refresh what little
spanish i know. here is what i am doing..

1. watching podcasts by Sr Keim (my stapley jr high spanish teacher)
2. reading a book i borrowed from my aunt elise..
(mainly just looking for words i dont know, to look up!)
3. playing with these cards my mom has -
one english version of each word
one spanish version of each word
one picture of each word
(i will be taking these to the kids in mexico when i go)
anyway, i am really excited to get there.
and a little nervous.
but i am looking forward to an awesome experience!

2010-05-17T21:45:00.004-07:00

even while reading other people's posts i have thought
to myself "why can't i be 'deep' like that".
last night i found the 2 times in my entire life that
i would say i was "deep" and i've decided
i want to share them. read if you want.

the first one i ever wrote:

"Our First Kiss" Written October 13, 2005

Almost a year since our first kiss;
a day i'll never forget
yet as we grow closer together i feel farther apart
with each beat of my heart my love grows stronger
words you say take my breath away
yet as we grow closer together i feel farther apart
when i'm around you my heart beats faster and faster
i get butterflies again just like the first day we met
yet as we grow closer i feel farther apart
my love for you will never end, my life without you
like a broken heart that will never mend
yet as we grow closer together i feel farther apart
but no matter what we go through i will always love you

"Yours" Written October 2008

i used to count on you to make me happy
now i only count on you to hurt me
i was told a broken heart would make you stronger
never was i told what happens when it crumbles
i fell in love with you at 13
i never knew how it would affect me
too afraid to admit, but i knew it was true
the only one i wanted was you
i took advantage of the friendship we had
when i should have just taken a chance
now four years later i give you my heart
only to have you tear it apart
i wish i knew how to mend this broken heart
and it make through
if i could move on, all the pain would be gone
but i don't see a future if i'm not in your arms
perhaps one day my dream will come true
or i will move on and be fine without you
but until then my heart is yours,
for there is nothing i want more
...iloveyou...

a little cheesy i know, but they were my best attempt. ha

dear elder

2010-05-16T23:03:00.003-07:00

yesterday i spent a couple hours re-reading letters
and writing back elders. its great to be able
to communicate as fast as we can get
letters back and forth to each other, but its
not the same as having them at the
other end of the phone. and its hard to figure
out what to talk about. at least when
they were around you pretty much
had a loooot in common. school, finals, friends,
work. just whatever. and you could
talk for hours about nothing. but not in a letter.
at least not me.
i really miss all my missionary friends.
they are really awesome. and
i am super proud of them!

only 19 days till i jet off for
mexico. im very excited. and
sooooo nervous at the
same time! ahhhh.

2010-05-07T18:18:00.006-07:00

so first of all, let me say
that as of today this is my
official way to vent. here is why:
1.on fb i cant "complain" about people without them
seeing, they may not know its them but stillll..
2. other people HAVE to comment on things that
i really couldnt care less about. like why are
two people arguing on my page when it has NOTHING
to do with me?!

i just read someones blog and they had this
list of pet peeves, or things that are "bad"
about themselves...im gunna think about
these things and some day soon im gunna
make a post like that too, i thought it
was interesting.
anyyyway, i wanna nap before i go out<

i think...

2010-05-07T00:56:00.003-07:00

i think today has been successful with my blog.
new background.
new fonts.
new everything basically.
im loving this more and more.

made my day

2010-05-06T11:24:00.005-07:00

how sad is it that yesterday my day was made by the fact my friend Kyle fixed my computer so that i can now download new fonts. literally that was the best part of my day, but i am sooo excited!!!!!!

snappy.

2010-04-21T19:00:00.004-07:00

this would be the best word to describe me this past week!
why you may ask; thats a good question!
its making me crazy.
but i snap at soo many things. it makes me nuuuuuuts!
mainly family, OCCASIONALLLLLLLLY
friends. here's tonight since i've been home from work:::

person 1-did you erase the duggar show on tv?
me-yes?!!
1- i set those to record for person 2, and i told you not
to erase them.
me- no you didnt, and I set them to record for me.

PERSON 2 DOESNT LIVE AT MY HOUSE WHY DO
WE HAVE TO RECORD SHOWS FOR THEM?!

annnnnd, just now. (going to say prayer for dinner)
person 1(same)- abby can you turn off the tv or pause it?
me- get up angrily grab the remote from person 1s chair
and pause the tv.
person 1- i thought you had the remote
me-(annoyed) no YOU had the remote
person 1-oh yeah, maybe i did..

dur da duuuuur.
why do i find my family so annoying this week?
i need to get outta here, hopefully i don't go
crazy before a month in mexico.

SANITY I BEG YOU- PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!

weird, i know

2010-04-11T23:02:00.003-07:00

okay so this is going to sound a little weird, and im fully aware of that, i just wanted to warn you first...

sooo as im sure you know, i teach the 6 turning 7 year
olds in my ward. one of the little boys told me i was his
valentine, SOOO CUTE. but as i was reading some quotes
on line and soooo many of them were about love i started
thinking about boys, and my future spouse etc..and
then i realized that i wanna find a guy who adores me like
this little boy. i know that sounds odd, but its true.
he is just so stinkin cute, he tries to impress me, he loves to sit by my,
and he always wants to take the picture home that i
colored/prepared for the lesson, or the paper that i sat
and doodled on while they colored the picture that went along with
the lesson. it sounds silly i know.
but one day im gunna find a boy that adores me the way this little boy does;
at least i hope so! xoxo

birrrfffday?!!

2010-04-02T18:24:00.005-07:00

its my biiiirthdayyy. woo.
here is my day so far:::
1. im sick.
2. i went to the office with my sister to
get her blood work done.
3. i started my laundry.
4. i went to lunch.
5. i visited my grandparents.
6. i went and bought some more medicine.
7. i blew up some balloons.
8. we haven't started yet; but soon we
will be having "my" birthday party.

"my" means brayden was really excited
about it being someones birthday, so
HE could open presents and eat birthday cake.
what a great nephew ehh?! ha.

anywhooo. so even though it might sound
that i was anticipating my fathers death,
which is SOOOOOO not the case, i began
thinking the other day how incredibly grateful
i will be, and am, that my daddy loves to use
his skills with wood working to make me
and my family members all the beautiful things
he makes for us. not only do we loove them
and use them, but they give us something to
have made by our dad especially for us,
for the rest of our lives. i love him so very much.
he's simply the best daddy in the whole wide world!

lately i feel like a

2010-01-31T23:19:00.003-07:00

tonight i realized some things:
1. the grammy nominee cd 2010 is SOOO different than the like 1990 grammy cd my daddy owns.
2. the age gap between my parents and i provides entertainment.
i.e tonight while watching the grammys lil wayne, drake and eminem performed together. which of course my parents didnt like much since it was rap. but my dad ALWAYS notices when people are sagging and of course brings it up. tonight he brought it up by singing "pants on the ground, pants on the ground, looking like a fool with you pants on the ground" (american idol contestants song) to which my mother replied "and they have big black bums" sad thing- they were both SERIOUS. but it was hilarious to my brother and i.
sweet dreams.

2010-01-30T23:36:00.003-07:00

a few random things for the dayyyy..

HARD by Rihanna has come up a
couple of times in conversation
over the past week. the funny part
is that it is because people think the
lyrics say "where dem black girls at"
but really it says "where dem bloggers
at" hate to burst the bubble. but its
funny.

I have had a few enlightened moments
this week. my biggest one being that
i KNOW that its sexy if a guy has "a back
bone" -dervived from the sayings that
go along with the spine/back bone when
dealing with someones behavior.

my dad likes to make fun of the tv, which
anyone would know if they watched
one single show with him. tonight we saw
a commercial about "i heart jonas" which
my dad could not comprehend. his whole
thing was why waste your time saying heart
when it takes just as much effort and time to
say love. he didnt understand if they meant
the same thing or not.
also we watched the parent trap-
lindsay lohan version. i'm not sure
if many of you will recall this, but often
the little girls will cross their arms in
front of their chests with their fingers
crossed and like TIGHTLY close their
eyes. my dad decided he would mimic them.
which was AWESOOOOME. a grown man
acted like a supposed 11 year old girl.
super cute and i wish i could have taken a pic
of it to share with you all. my dad is such a nerd!

i just read on a website that some idahoians
(is that what they are called!?) tried to
take a bus of 33 supposed Haitian orphans
to the Dominican Republic - that would
later be followed by more children- to
start an orphanage for the kids? like wtf?
people are so weird these days!

letters? uhm so my bestest friend is on a mish
as im sure you are very aware of and after he
wrote his first letter i responded-it just took like
2 weeks. i was then chastised for taking so long.
so the second time i made sure i got back quickly..
to only have to wait like a MONTH for his next
letter. grr. ha. but at least i got it! then todayyy i
got a letter from another missionaryyy. my good
friend and neighbor of 10 years walker waldie. it
was awesome because i kept having this feeling
that i needed to write him but couldnt figure out
what on earth to write him so needless to say i put
it offffffff. but he wrote me and i was honestly more
excited to hear from him than i would have expected.
next time i ought to listen...dont yah think?!

and last but not least..i was a little disheartened
tonight when i ran to the store quickly
to buy my little primary kids their prize for
being good and i saw some VERRRRRRYYYY
attractive foreigners, i just COULD NOT
understand what language they were speaking.
sad dayyyy :/

right now i am obsessed with musiccc.

friiiiiiends. :)

2010-01-25T23:13:00.010-07:00

so i just found out something i find slightly hilarious...
but will go un-named. lets just say, i think its GREAT
when people have nothing better to do than worry
about someone elses life. like nbd riiight?

anywayyy. i decided today i would dedicate my blog to
my friends.because i have the beeeeest friends.
i don't know how i got so lukcy!
here are a few facts/memories about a couple of
friends...

karen: where to even start?! this girl is amazingggg.
we have been friends since the 3rd grade! and
one summer convinced some boys we were sisters,
we had fun with that one. im glad we are
neighbors, i'm glad we are such good friends!
i'm glad we are visiting teaching partners!
(say whaaat?! ha)
i'm glad that she is such a strong girl.
i loveeee my bestie.

jules: IS GETTING MARRIED! ah. and
i'm a bridesmaidddd. i can't wait! we've been
close since we met in my 8th grade yr and her 9th grade
yr. we had a book of notes/secrets that we
shared with two other girls for a year. which was great!
then she moved; and that was a sad day! (legit)
but i love that we've always stayed in contact and
i'm super excited she's back in az for nowww & i get
to help with some wedding planssss. wooo!

Jessi: my go to girl. i love her so much. she is ALWAYS
there for me no matter what goes on in either of our
lives. im sooo glad i met her 10 years ago. i would not
be who i am without her. i miss her so muuucchhh.
(she's at ASU, not even farrrr ha) and i hope she
knows i love her for ever and everrrr and if she
eveerrrr needed anything i would be there; no question!

peyton: the new girl in 6th grade..and now one
of my closest friends. she was the first person to
ever know anyyything about me. she was my
confidant for yearrrs. and part of "the book".
we had some time of separation; but we could
always count on each other. and i'm glad we
"re-connected" this past summer!

jordan: what to say about JB?! i love this boy.
he means the world to me. he changed my senior year
big time. i was so lucky to get to be such good friends
with him. and i'm soooo proud of him for serving a
mission. he is one of the most amazing guys i have
ever met and i know he came into my life at
juuuuust the right time. i wish him allll the success
in the world, and can't wait to see him
again in two years!!

dexterrrr: whether he knows it or not, i've
considered him one of my clooooose friends for a
long time! i guess you could say we had some
"rough spots" in our friendship, but nothing big.
he's a great guy. with good values and a strong
personality. i've felt as if i could always count on him!

kendall: he's a good guy. we have our "tiffs"
but i know he'd be there for me in a heart beat
if needed. i'm glad i met him!

sam: i find this boy quite funny. we have some great
and interesting conversations that i wouldn't trade for
the woooorld. i can count on two fingers (hint hint) the
number of guys i can find enough to talk about until 6 am.
on multiple occasions. i haven't know him long but
it definately feels like it's been years. he's an awesome
kid that i abbbsssooolllluuttteeellllyyy
love spending time with!

kelly: aka my sister in law. i don't think i could
have EVER imagined having a sister in law i
would be sooo close with. she is the most
amazing woman i have ever met. and i am
eternally grateful to have her in my family.
she inspires me to be the best person i can,
and to make decisions i feel are the best,
and right for me. she helps me through so
many things and i know she will always be
there for me and have my back. i'm so glad her
and i got to spend a week together in NYC--
just the two of us, to have some awesome girl time.
i love my sister so incredibly muchhh!

haley: also known as bunk by many. its
amazing that we started off enemies and now
i looove this girl. we have great conversations!
oddly enough, including tonight! she is always
so full of information and stories. i LOVE it.
we both also have a passion for NYC. she's
so adorable and i'm glad we decided to stop hatin' :)

preston: also my cousin! we have gotten
very close lately which i had neeevveeerrr expected.
probably just based off the fact we are 5 years
apart & he has cousins his age. but he's an
awesome guy! he is such a gentleman, and will
make some girl VERY happy one day. i've seen
how he treats girls firsthand-he dated one of
my beessttfriends! girls for real, if you want
a man let me know, i'll hook you up!

anyway, i seriously have sooo many amazing
friends i could go for like the entiiiiiiire web
page but ill stop. i hope ALLLL my friends
know that i think they are amazing people
and i feel so blessed to have them in my life.
i love you alllll.

here are a couple random pictures of liiife:

forgetful.

2010-01-22T22:07:00.004-07:00

it seems as of late i've been a tad forgetful.
it's kind of upsetting.
things i have forgotten lately:
the name of most songs i've purchased
recently. the fact i already brushed my
teeth, so i did it again!
the name of a song i heard on the radio
and really liked. the author of my
current read. and MOST of all, the really
great topic i had set for my blog.
i'm totally bummed about it,
cause i was excited to write itttt..
so it must have been good right?
too bad i cant remember! ahh.

anyway. my new revelation tonight was
that when i am older and
have children i think i need to
have more girls than boys. simply
because i find it so much easier to take
care of my niece than my
nephew. he is such a little punk. ha.
love him to death but he's a punk!

annnnnd last but not least i would like to say
CONGRATS to one of my
clooooosest friends in the whole wide world,
Jules, on her engagement
to blake farnsworth.
im sooo excited for you guys!
love you both!!

time bomb

2010-01-14T10:43:00.002-07:00

you know those days when it just seems everything is crashing down around you little by little and the smallest thing can set you off? WELCOME TO MY DAY. things are ridic for me right now and yet i cant put my finger on why. the fact that i am working on a day im not supposed to is like kicking me in the butt - yet it shouldnt be because im helping someone else out by covering for them. my dad is trying to be a good dad and talk to me about stuff and it just makes me cry. it's one of those days when you just wanna be alone. and sadly i CANT. with 20 some people constantly around and then a fairly steady flow of patients in and out my door i am never alone. luckily i get to leave at 2:30 and maybe some sleep will help me. although i cant say actually sleep much...i'm sick. WOOOOO. ha. anyway enought about pitiful old me.

i dont know how many of you actually know this:: I LOVE TO READ.
and i have my own "library" of books in my closet. i have probably around 40-50 books in there that i have acquired in like the last two years and that doesnt include any book my mother has boughten on her own.. we have a cupboard full of those books. anyway, i just recently bought four more books...

1. damaged by cathy glass- a great book! (i just finished it) it was sad though and a little bit uhm grotesque, but was based on a true story. it takes a strong stomach to read it. i would comapre it to A CHILD CALLED IT.
2. the time tavelers wife - this was just made into a movie so it must have been a successful book, right? ill let you know!
3. not without my sister- also a true story. i'm not familiar with it at all though i must say.
4. push- but not that weird superpower movie. but that is about all i know of that book as well.

i read the synopsis on all of the books and they look great. im excited! if you know anything about them let me know! or if you know of any other great books!

is it even worth it?

2010-01-10T19:30:00.002-07:00

you know, once upon a time in high school i stopped hanging out with these girls because i could not honestly say their friendship was worth everything that happened. all the back stabbing, the name calling, the refusal to make new friends, the boy stealing and that's just to name a few issues. it seems once again i'm at the same point with another friend right now..but this time it's a boy!!! i'm in awe. i didn't think i would have to deal with this type of thing again. this time it is a litttttttle different though; he's obviously not trying to steal boys from me haha..but there is a little bit of "name calling" and smack talking..like what boy does that?! but i don't know; maybe you guys can help me out... let me know if i am in the wrong on the situation would you?? this boy and i liked each other for like a week TOPS almost exactly a year ago. then probably about 3 month ago he invited me to hang out with some of his friends so i did... then about 2 days later he invited me to hang out again, both times his friend Sam was there and was pretty much the only one of the "new" people that talked to me so not thinking ANYTHING of it, i made it a point to tell my friend that i thought sam was a very nice boy. that started the EXPLOSION. apparently that was the wrong thing to say because being me, i GUESS i cannot think a boy is nice unless i want to kiss him..i didn't even know that about myself..weird right?! so i was lectured multiple times on how i am nooooot allowed to kiss sam. which is definately my decision but hadn't even crossed my mind. anyway, sam and i have continued to talk and have become pretty good friends i would say. but that just brought on even more issues. according to my friend that's a big no-no. like basically sam and i feel like we cant even tell the kid we hang out. we don't hide it because we know he's not stupid but once he knows we hung out its becomes.. "what time did you leave" blah blah blah. NOTHING IS GOING ON. my friend was mad that we hung out on new years...and then a WHOLE 8 days later was mad at us..mainly me?!!..again. does anyone else think that he's freakin out beyond reason.. or am i just completely delusional to think i can be friends with sam!?

anyyywaaayyyy, other than that life is good. second week with my little 6 year olds went good. brayden came with me to my class because he and hallie have been staying with us since friday and will go home tomorrow. its fun but at the same time so much work. anyway its time to put the little ones down for beddddd.
xo abby

what does it say?

2010-01-04T19:59:00.003-07:00

so i was just looking at a friends blog and the firs thing i thought was "this background totalllllly fits her style" and then i started thinking..does my background fit what people perceive me to be? it's weird the little things that can hint as to what type of person you are. the obvious would things would be language, dress, hair color, make up styles and so forth. but i never stopped to think that even my blog background could say something. or the type of pictures we post on our blogs. i just thought it was funny that something like that would totally strike me as interesting. anyway, this new year means the beginning of a lot of new shows. i'm excited. the bachelor and the secret life start tonight. i'm looking forward to it. i hope the bachelor this year doesn't disappoint me. granted i know who it is already, but i was all for jake at the beginning of last season and then he disappointed me, hope he can keep it up this season! the secret life: OMG i cannot wait. i thought this show was going to be RIDICULOUSLY lame when it first started but thanks to my dear friend jake i started watching it and fell in loooove. its great. so dramatic, of course. but it has to be that way, thats part of what makes it so great! anyway i'm off to begin my night of premieres..yayyyy :) <3abby

2010

2010-01-03T22:47:00.002-07:00

so its the new year. crazyyyy. hopefully this is my year, to get what i want! and i don't just mean material things, just that things go my way in general. my schedule will be a little lighter this semester which i'm totallllllllly looking forward to. i am definately hoping that i can get some more working out in the semester, its been a while and i'm sooo outta shape. my goodness. it has definately been a crazy, busy, tiring, and fun coulple of weeks. the holidays are always out of control with my family. but what can you expect there are like 32453453456345345 of us! and kelly announced on christmas that she will be having a baby, due july 11. and i cannot wait. im so excited. and this summer she and eric will be moving back to their house out in gilbert so the baby and them will be much closer again. i'm excited. i've missed them being close by. hopefully in 2 years if/when they move for residency it's not tooooo far and i will be able to go visit them cause kelly is one of my very beeessssttttt friends. i dont know what i would do without her. other than the holidays life have been fairly uneventful. just working, doing house cleaning and trying to relax before school starts again. luckily i have a few more weeks till i have to worry about that. anywho i think its my bed time, work tomorrow. woooooooo. SKYE.
<3abby

oh and btw im teaching the 6 turning 7 year olds at church as of today and can i just say i love it. my little kids are adorable! i'm so excited to be able to teach them for the year!!

is it really almost christmas?

2009-12-18T16:57:00.000-07:00

I hate to say that it doesn't feel like Christmas
should be next week. I'm not really sure why.
It doesn't seem as cheery, as cold, my house
doesnt smell as much like a Christmas tree as
usual. It's unfortunate. I need to figure out how
to get in more of a Christmas mood. It's way to
close to Christmas to not have the feeling of
Christmas yet. I'm a little annoyed. and maybe
that's my problem, with school and work and friends
and family I feel like I'm go go go and haven't
really had relaxing timee...but now i do because my
finals are over and I'm so excited to get a break! I don't
really have much to talk about otherwise right now.
and sadly I'm tired enough that im gunna go take a nap right now...

haha. what a life.

i dont really know...

2009-12-06T23:46:00.000-07:00

...where the time has gone. i cant believe its already been a week of December. i don't even know where this year went. all i know, is that I'm ready for the new year. and I'm ready to set some new goals, and hopefully get somewhere in my life. two more stressful weeks and then a little break. its been a long time coming it seems. also, its amazing that i already have my Christmas shopping done, i think that's like a record. I'm loving it!!

oh and today we finally decorated our tree...we were slacking. Brayden and Hallie were here to help, even during the clean up. I've never seen two kids fight over a vacuum, weirdest thing! ha

how cute is she?
OHHH AND SHE CAN FINALLY SAY MY NAME!!
(the first of us all!!!!)

stress stress stress.

2009-12-02T17:48:00.000-07:00

well its been quite sometime since i wrote my last post.
basically all that has happened is:
1. getting stressed. 2. getting stressed. 3. getting stressed.
and 4. ITS DECEMBER! and its cold. finalllllly!
it took wayyyyyy to long to get cold in Az.
even though i dont love the cold much.
also, i went and saw two good movies.
first off i saw New Moon at the midnight showing. and i loved it.
i also loved getting to see Kiowa Gordon up on the big screen.
i miss that kid so much its ridiculous.
but then, like chloe i was very excited to see the blind side.
it was sooo good. not gunna lie i cried a little bit &
then on the way home i told my parents we should
adopt cause i want another sibling. no such luck. grrr. ha.
anyway i figured i ought to do a little update so people
would know i was still alive.. but i need to do my
homework...which is alll ive done today. haha. oh well.
i guess thats the college.

electronics.

2009-11-17T11:37:00.000-07:00

sooooo i got my computer back and it is working beautifully,
thanks robert!
also im in this limbo about cell phones.
its ridiculous how much i waste on phones and how often
i want a new one. but currently im planning on getting the new
verizon phone; the DROID. hmm, so tempting. ha. and
i need to start thinking about what i want for christmas;
i cant believe its time to start that already.
thanksgiving is next week &&&&&&&
THURSDAY IS NEW MOOOOONNNN!!!
i cant wait. mid night showing with my
bestestestest friends. yayyyy!! :)

<3abby

time.

2009-11-14T21:25:00.001-07:00

it seems as if it has been forever since i have been on here. i have been computer less for about 3 days now because it is being worked on by Robert Mckay cause something is wrong. not gunna lie i feel a little naked without it. BUUUUT on to something better. Last monday i got my first letter from Elder Jordan Banner. i was so excited, allllll day on monday i kept thinking to myself "i wish jordan was here so i could talk to him today..." it was just one of those days you know?! and then i got home and i had his letter. perfect timing right? of course it was filled with a lot of querky, silly things but i could also tell he has already begun to mature. he talked so differently about the MTC, the spirit, and the church in general, than i think i had ever heard him before. i miss that boy a lot. im grateful he wrote me. i loved it! this is the second time over the past little while that i can specifically put my finger on where the lord was looking out for me, and i got a letter that just happened to be exactly what i needed at the time. its amazing. im glad im surrounded with the right type of people so that things like that can happen to me. anywhooo, its been a long day and i have a few more things to do before i hit the hay.

homecoming.

2009-11-08T20:14:00.000-07:00

today was grants homecoming talk. he did a good job. its weird to think hes been home as long as he has. hes already palnning a trip to oregon again though. and hes made my computer retarded by somehow allowing pop-ups through all the time. grrr. but its nice to have him back home because now its our whole family again.

this weekend i went out with some of my guy friends to these races again, we went a few weeks back. but this time we, and i mean they, did quad races instead of car races through the mud; which broke sams four wheel drive..yikes.. :(. they were pretty nervous about racing their quads though. it was super fun to watch. we also saw this dragster which was AMAZING. the light turned green and the dragster litterally was on two wheels at the VERY start, went down to four wheels about 50 feet later, back up on two wheels and down 30 feet later and it only took about about 4 seconds to complete the entire race. it was insane! the loudest, coolest thing i have ever seen.. and that is about the only cool thing i have done recentlyyyyy. im exhausted.

goodnight.

"she works hard for the money..."

2009-11-02T11:14:00.000-07:00

oh the joy of work. quite frankly its crazy how ridiculous work can be sometimes.
dont get me wrong, i love working for my daddy! ocassionally though, i cant
handle it.

here are a few of the negatives:
*currently not getting the hours i want because of school :/
*a few incompetent co-workers
*interesting outfits
*interesting patients
*getting shots/vaccinations

pluses:
*a few really cool girls
*getting to be with my daddy
*making money
*occasionally seeing friends and family
*and most importantly getting to see all the cute new little babies

sometimes i feel like i could be working in an episode of the show The Office.
its gets a little crazy here, so many women! ah. friday afternoons are always exciting
though i definately look forward to them cause everything seems pretty chill since
we do not see patients then. all in all work is fun. leah and i just wanted to say something
about the office on here! ha. oh and just fyi i think next year the office MAY dress up for halloween, im contimplating being BOOK FACE..i think its a clever idea ;)
<3abby (&leah kind of)

countdown

2009-11-01T21:48:00.000-07:00

it seems super early to start the count down for christmas

but i guess i am. only considering im really counting down

the days until this semester of school ends, seeing as how

it only ends a week before christmas! ahh. im pretty sure

i have about 10 more tests, and a team prjoect to do

before im done too.. so much junk. urgg. school is very

draining..agree?! i hope so. anyway im off to fill out

application information for next year.. just tryin to

get a head start i guesssss.

"not goodbye- i hate goodbye-see you later" John Q

2009-10-27T20:30:00.000-07:00

Saying goodbye.

if only "see you later" made it any easier. its been a long day.
all i could think about was the fact that i had to say

goodbye to jordan banner today. it definately didnt make

focusing in school any easier. im gunna miss that kid

a LOTTTTT. he was my bestestestest guy friend&

always had me laughing. i know he'll be an good missionary,

if he puts his mind to it! ha :) just kidding he'll be great!

also, tyler kokalaries left yesterday so sunday was the last

goodbye. i wish i could just be little again when all the

reporting missionaries we sooooo much older than me.

it was mush better than this. hopefully my next two

years will be busy enough to keep my mind off of things.

ill be grateful for letter communication now and again.

i think both of those boys became my friends at very

crucial times in my life. and i appreciate their friendship

more than they know. even though i try to convey

it as often as possible. missions are a great thing and im

so glad i have amazing friends who never really second

guessed going on a mission or not. they are amazing examples.

i love those boys. plus all the other guys who have already left.

im sure there will be more post in the future about the guys as

they continue to leave. but as i said before its been a long day.

about time to retire for the night. <3abby

our last hug :(

ps. these pictures look so horrible because i took a picture on my

cell phone of a picture on the computer.

called to serve

2009-10-25T13:18:00.000-07:00

this month has been bitter sweet. bitter because so many of my friends are leaving, have left, on their missions. but the sweet part is having my own brother come home. now we are all finally back together again, its great! but the hardest part is yet to come with two of my closest guy friends leaving the same day, this wednesday. BUMMER:/ but obviously its for a great cause!

today was stake conference and my mom had to talk, she did a good job. its werid i used to looooove stake conference because it meant nielsons would be there, church was only 2 hours, and we got to color. it was great. but like usual, as you get older you appreciate church meetings for the actual content. we have great leaders in our stake. i think we are pretty lucky.

now the rest of my day will consist of making cookies and saying goodbye, again, kind of. yet again, something a little bitter sweet. its ironic. i guess this is really all just part of growing up; the part i dont like.

<3abby

what to say.

2009-10-24T18:52:00.000-07:00

so im sure you could tell i
gave up on blogging about
the bachelorette. it was a
snooze.

so here's an update on my life since i
haven't posted a personal blog in some
time now:

life has been CRAZY.
lately, ive been spending a lot of
time with this guy:

my dear friend batman. aka JEFF.
he wont take off the mask.
mental stability is questionable!

william- seems like a sweetheart!
too bad he probably works for verizon.
his apartment looked like a college dorm.
not many of us would seriously consider him
which is too bad. he seems so nice!

west- love the compass idea.
worried hes not over his former wife.
ps did that story not just tug at
your heart strings?! so sad!
but loving the name, different but
not straight up weird!

stephen- really?! a hair dresser?
i'd pass! he was a little too interested in her new
hair color! and his hair isnt even great!

ryan p- we love him!
and he got the first rose!
hopefully thats a good sign!
so stinkin adorable!

ryan m- honestly...
not much was said about him...
hardly even remember seeing him..

nick- hair is killer.
not super sure how to feel about this one.
interesting choice?

mickey- really wasnt shown much.
fairly attractive.
dar hair. blue eyes. simply AMAAAZZZING!

matt- there are mixed feelings.
mom talking about having sex the first night
is a tad odd for me, but the others thought
it was clever and well played!

lucas- again not shown much.
not terrible looking!

jp- cant lie everyone was loving him.
his cute little smile.
ironic cupcake story.
who wouldnt love him so far!?

constatine- not diggin him.
bad hair. not cute.

chris d- handsome guy.
again another one of those not so
seen boys this episode!

blake- dentist.
not a fan of his mouth.
maybe 1 dentist is enough in a relationship.

ben f- his hair was so greasy!
winemaker so the girls at the office want him!
seems sweet. needs a good bottle
of dry shampoo to calm down the grease!

bentley bentley bentley- SCUM.
wish he was gone.
ashley is wayy too attracted to him, not
quite as hot as she thinks!
jerk jerk jerk.
can i just say the previews of the
season make him look like an
AWFUL person...way to be!

ben c- is it just me or did they only show like
5 of these guys total? does anyone remember him!?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (yesterday) TO THIS
BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL!

i cant believe my niece hallie
a.k.a mini me
is already 3! i seriously love this
little girl soooo very much!!

xoxo

my heart goes out to chantal, especially
since i have SOO recently felt that EXACT
same way. but i KNEW from day one
it was gunna be emily!!!!

that word right there describes me
so very well right now. i really dont
think i have been THIS happy in a very
long time. my family is great. work is
good. my boyfriend is amazing. i got
into school. and im just overall really
enjoying life. things couldnt get
any better:)

IT'S FINALLY STARTING TO
FEEL LIKE CHRISTMAS! :)

so for about the last week and a half this
little number has been my nightly date:

(i forgot how terrible it is to get BACK
into running, i should have just never stopped..)

here is a brief look at what i have
been up to lately:

Fear Farm, we went with a huge group of
like 20+ people. (obviously not all in
this picture) and it was a lot of fun.
worst part of the night- zach trying to
feed me to the clowns. such a punk! :)

i a no skipping letter 11
and moving onto letter 12-

someone who has hurt me-
i can think of a few of you,
but it also reminds me of this
quote:

is it just me or does it seem lately
that everyone is falling in

alrighty so heres a little update of abbys life:
1. was maid of honor at karen costellos wedding.
i love that girl so freakin much

so tuesday morning, nicole and i
went to the kindergarten class
we had worked with to say
goodbye..we gave them stickers
and gummy worms and took a
couple of pictures. they really
were so cute. im gunna miss them!!

other than the fact that it was
1000000000000% humidity and
93 degrees, the beach was fun!
everyone literally ran to the
ocean as sooooon as possible!
it was really great. i miss rocky
point for spring break. but here
are the pictures from the weekend!

so we have officially arrived
its been cool so far.
sadly ive been a little sick, but not
anything i havent experienced at home every month since i was 13
(tmi sorry)

a tad humid and warm during the day but good!
