Welcome back to the Blogging world Jana!! Lol... So I have come to the realization that I am a absolutely HORRIBLE blogger! I Totally admit to the offense, and won't deny it because I just changed my background from Christmas Trees, and it's half way through April! Haha... Well to catch you up on my last few months... Not that much has happened, but I have had some pretty awesome vacations! :) 1st off being a whole week in Vegas for spring break away from the Utah rain, snow, and work! 2nd being last weekend for Easter! My WHOLE family was in Vegas, which is in and of itself quite a task, but well worth it!! I'm starting to get very excited for the next couple of months!! I have lived in Utah for a year now.. CRAZY!! Every month here I have contemplated moving back home atleast twice because I have found it to be quite a task to make friends here in Utah... People here are VERY different from Vegas people, plus I still haven't quite found myself here, mainly because half of myself is still stuck in Vegas, (Rachel!) Lol.. But also because I've been kinda unsure of if I REALLY want to be here... BUT... For my anniversary of being in Utah I have officially decided... I am here to stay!! Sorry Vegas Kids... I know that part of me will Always call Henderson home, and everytime I leave there I will surely still cry, but that's just who I am and I am who I am because of Henderson, so take it or leave it!

Although it makes me moderately sad to finally admit that I am now a "Utahn," I am extremely excited to finally dive in and find what it is that has been drawing me here the last 3 years! I know I know... I'm a little late to act on these preminitions, or feelings, but better late than never! Also... My little sister will be joining me shortly after her Graduation on May 9th, and I've basically been waiting for that for a year, so yeah... I'm pretty fricken excited! (No turning back now Rach! ) ;) Hopefully my Mom wont be too far behind her either because that also been a Huge draw back about being here. But things are definately starting to look up! And I believe it is now only a matter of time before she's able to be here with us!

For now though, I think I just need to realize that it's in the Lords hands and all I can do is my best, and hope that it all works out! I have loved being up here with my family in Utah and getting closer to all of my cute nieces and nephews here... I am extremely blessed to have such an amazing family, and so blessed to be part of such an amazing gospel!! Thanks to all of my friends and family who continue to be an amazing support system for me! I love you all TONS!!!!!

I'm Still Alive!! :)

Ok... Ok, I'm sorry! I know it has been FOREVER, but I thought I'd give a nice little update of what I've been up to the last couple months!!

Things are going Shwell in Utah... I LOVE my new job! For those of you who don't know I'm working in the CIF department for Zions Bancorporation, and I pretty much just do data entry stuff, but all this time I've been doing upfront stuff, and back office is SO much better! I gotta tell ya! No angry customers... No standing all day, It's Fabulous!! Plus I'm WAY good at it, and my bosses already love me! :)

Me, KC, and Jana... :) My Fun Co-Workers On Halloween!

Also... I've had some pretty fun trips to Vegas the last couple months... I went down to Vegas to send Jillian off on her mission... :( And we had a Murder Mystery party while we were there, and that was pretty fun!

Anna, Holly, Ashley, Rachel, And Me!

Just Me and Rach I like how we're all opposites with the blacks and reds... :)

Then... We went to Red Robin with Jillian, for one of our last night together, and it was WAY fun! The last night I saw her was the Sunday of her Farewell talk, and we spent ALL day together at Tommie Sue's house! She had a luncheon with a lot of her ward, friends, and family, and after it was over we hung out and talked, and Jillian made us some Delicious Lemon Pepper chicken on the George Foreman grill... Until it started getting late, and I couldn't BARE to put off the dreaded moment any longer... So we said our EXTREMELY tearful goodbyes, and gave each other BIG hugs, and went our separate ways, but I did manage to get some good pics of all us girls....

Anna, Demi, Holly, Rachel, Jillian, Me, and Dia at Good Ol' Red Robin!!

Anna, Me, Rachel, Jillian, Holly, and Demitris at Jillian's Luncheon.

Me and my Boo! :) Haha... I already look a bit emotional, and we took this one like HOURS before I was leaving... But then again the thought kept running through my mind... ummm this is my last photo with Jillian for a year and a half! So yeah... Obviously not a good thought to think right before you take a picture!! LOL

The next day I woke up early and went and had breakfast with Laura B!! That was WAY fun... I SO miss all of my Vegas friends! People here in Utah just aren't te same! BUT... It was my choice to come up here, and I have to live with the consequences!! :)

Also... Last weekend Mom and Rach were able to come down from Vegas for my uncle Carl's wedding, so it was WAY nice having them here! We had some fun little get togethers with the family, and just kept it kinda chill...

Anyway... All in all, life is good!! No Complaints here other than Thanksgiving couldn't POSSIBLY come fast Enough!!! Love you and miss you ALL! Can't wait to see you all again!

Another AMAZING worker in Utah...

2008-07-27T22:09:00.000-07:00

Ok, so me and Rach went to McDonalds last night to get some ice cream, and Rachel was kinda feeling like getting a shake so we asked this HILARIOUS worker what kinds of shakes they had and you have to imagine this guy with a thick Mexican accent or it's just not the same... You probably still had to be there, but anyway... He proceeded to tell us that they have "Benana, Choclot, Stowbery, Oh, and a uh Mongo Rasbury... (Short Pause) ... That onez zreally goood!" Bah ha ha ha .... Me and Rachel we're like DYING and I still had to order our food, so of course he probably thought we were crazy by the end, but man... It was killing me! Thought it'd be fun to share!

How lucky and blessed we all are to be part of this AMAZING country! I can't even come close to expressing how grateful I am to be a citizen of this country! I went to the parade in Park City today, and I just LOVE seeing the patriotism of all of the citizens here... It amazes me to see this country where there can be so much crime and disagreement amongst the people, yet we all share a common love and respect for our country! Anyway, I just wanted to express my gratitude for this country, and for those of you that raised me and taught me about PATRIOTISM! God bless America!

Continuous slacker! :)

2008-06-26T15:36:00.000-07:00

Hey Ya'll! So I've been told SEVERAL times that I'm still NO good at this blogging business, but maybe I just don't like to talk about myself as much as other people do! :) Haha... J K I admit it I'm just a slacker! Anyway... This past week I've been back in VEGAS! So fun... I got to see a bunch of my friends that I've been missing, since friends in Utah are few and far between! :) I also got a FABULOUS sunburn that pretty much put a hault to some of my other plans since being fully clothed is not very appealing when you feel like your flesh is on fire! Anyway... It has still been a good trip over all! I also have been venturing into this on-line dating business since I have so few friends here it has kept my mind off of how LAME I've become! Haha... I've met some pretty interesting characters! I'll tell you what... I was a little nervous at first, but some pretty good ones have come along recently... You know who you are! ;) Anyway... I'll be heading back to Utah on Sunday and then the following week we will be headed for our cabin! YAY!! I'm SO way excited I can't even tell you! Anyway... I'm glad those of you who are reading this haven't completely given up on me!! :) My biggest and most patient fans! Haha... Anyway, I'll keep you posted with all my exciting adventures at the cabin and any other exciting things that may come about! Talk to ya laters! LOVES!

Bah ha ha ha ha...

2008-06-01T03:25:00.000-07:00

So... As you all have noticed I am absolutely AMAZING at this blogging business! :) Yes, it is true I have now lived in Utah for over a month and have been an amazing SLACKER on keeping everyone updated! So, I guess I owe you all a nice update... As Candice mentioned in my comments I have met some of the MOST amazing Sonic employees you'll ever meet that say things over the the intercom like "Could you repeat that... I wasn't paying attention." Ha ha.. HILARIOUS! Well gee, I was under the impression that you were TAKING MY ORDER!!! Haha... My bad... Whew, anyway... I have also had a new kick on LDSmingle to get to know some fun people here since cool YSA wards are a but slim in this area, and I found myself a guy who LOVES dedicating songs to people he just met... He was EXCITING! :) Hmm... What other joys has Utah brought to my life? Oh yes, snow in May... Who'd have thought!? Well... I know that most of you are SAVORING every word in this blog because you don't expect to get another one for about 5 weeks, but if that is the case... You should be ashamed of yourself! HAHA, J K I'll try to do better... Also I would like to give a shout out to Kneaders éclairs! SO TASTY! Little reminder though... I still haven't received one for my birthday... sniff sniff... Sigh, welp on that note I love and miss all of you kids in H-TOWN! Hope all is well there make sure to keep me posted because I am most definitely out of the loop up here! :)

Moving...

2008-04-13T07:27:00.001-07:00

Well... Where do I begin? I've lived in Henderson since I was 8, and I'm about to embark on some new adventures in SLC, UT! I know... I know... I'm a traitor, but I think I've had my fill of Henderson, and I need a change!! I have met some of THE most amazing people you could ever possibly meet here, and they will ALWAYS be a part of me and who I am! Thank you to all of you who have helped me become who I am, life will be MUCH different without all of you!! So... In order to stay caught up with all of the new and exciting things that are happening in my life I CREATED this blog... I'm not sure how often I will be posting new blogs, but hopefully new and exciting things will be happening, so I will have some things to post! :) Thank you all for being such amazing people, and for being SUCH great examples to me! I love you all and will miss you more than you could EVER know!! Love ya BUNCHES!!
