Well we finally did make it to Florida last night around 7pm, I was really tired! First class was fun again. We had a nice meal, and I ate some really good salmon! This plane had larger seats then the other one. We arrived got out luggage and picked up our car renal. We were then off to find our hotel. It is a pretty nice hotel! We are staying in a Suite! Two bedrooms! I was so tired that I basically went to sleep.
Today we all actually slept in until noon! We must have been worn out from all of our travels yesterday, because I sure was! So we went over to Hollywood studios today and I got a cut button pin that says "1st visit"! We went and got in line at star tours. Wow, so I went on that ride when I was a kid over in Disneyland, and I didn't get sick then. This ride made me really really motion sick! It was so not fun! Rb and his dad enjoyed it though! I was really glad when it was over! After we got off that ride I am glad it was about time for the Indiana Jones movie production show was about to start and I am also glad it was outside so I could get fresh air. We were half hour early so we sat in the benches and by the time it started my motion sickness was gone. phew!! Watched a little bit of the Jedi training course ( a bunch of kids our trained to be Jedi's and they all get to defeat Darth Vader:).
Muppet 3D Movie was hilarious! It had some good jokes! Next we were just started walking around the park to see what was around. RB's dad saw a line to get your picture taken with mator and lightning McQueen and he wanted to get a picture of him with them for his grandson.
Next we were going to go to the "Honey I shrunk the kids" play park but it was closed by this time :( oh well. We then ventured over to the Hollywood movie ride. It was a fun ride:) You went through scenes from movies and they had some actors in the middle that took over the tram we were on :)
We then waited in line for the "toy story mania" ride. It actually only took us about forty minutes to finally get on the ride even though the line said like an hour and ten minute wait. It was a fun ride! You go around in a little vehicle and shoot a things. RB got the highest score in our car!
The park was closed by the time we got out of that ride and so we went and found our car and drove over to walmart. We had stuff to get, one of the things being a blanket! The blanket they have at the hotel does not let my body get air! So I kept waking up cold and wet! I know not a very pretty sight, but that's what happened! It was frustrating! But now I have a cute Tinkerbell blanket that will hopefully work better for me tonight. We got just stuff to heat up in the microwave at our hotel room for dinner. Whew! That was our first day in Florida. Stay tuned for more, and hopefully more pictures in this post! I am tired and that is why there aren't any pictures.

January 14 2012 8:46 Somewhere over US between SLC and Chicago, illinois
This is me sitting first class!! SO today has already been quite an adventure. I could seriouly not sleep all night long. I had my alarm set for 3:45 am, because our plane was taking off at 6:10 am. RBs dad came and picked us up at 4:15 but we probably didn't get out of the door until 4:25am. we made it safaley to the airport, checked our bags in, went over to securtiy and I got a body scan for the first time in my life. The way they had it set up here was after you stepped out you could actually look back and see your own body scan, basically it was just an outline of your body. If there was anything suspicious if would flag that area of your body. It was very quick and easy!
We continued on to our flight terminal and waited for about 10 minutes. There was some problem with the a fire light flashing on and off and they said it would probably be fixed it about 10 minutes. Well ten minutes passed and the lady came on the intercom and announced that the flight had been canceled, due to technical issues. Ok what do we do now? Luckily since we had first class tickets we got tickets for a flight that was going from SlC to Illinois instead of Dallas Texas, but it was leaving at 7:00 and it was already passed six. We had to rush back down to baggage claim, get our bags, have them retag our bags, and then go through all the security procedures again. Wow we rushed through it pretty fast! But we made it to our flight and we were still able to get first class tickets! Yay!! I was worried that we werent going to be going first class. I was really excited about it!
So yes, I am sitting in first class, was just given a hot towel to wipe my hands or my face with. Then I was asked what kind of food I wanted. I got some yummy yogurt, a fruit bowl, and a muffin with some butter. I got pictures of it, but they are on my phone right now. I will have to transfer them later today.
12:00 pm in chicago illinois airport
Well we have a four hour lay over here in illinois. The tiredness has finally hit. I didn't sleep that much, if any last night. so maybe I will be able to sleep in the airport...

Hello
Today is Tuesday, It is a sunny day outside and it is my last day sitting with my grandma before she leaves for Las Vegas. We are both sitting here watching matlock.
It isn't fun living in two different places. I hope something changes ( for the good) soon. I guess it could be worse.
What have I been up to lately......let us see.......yesterday, I was pretty tired so I didn't get much done. I did my budget! Yay! I have an intense budget! I mean, I do my budget every month. It makes me feel like I accomplish things. I took a finance class in college and I learned a lot from it.
On sunday I went to all of church! yay me!! I have a hard time sitting in those chairs for so long, my body starts to ache and gets tired easy!
Saturday was new years eve, and I didn't stay up until midnight.
The years just seem to go so fast. This past year lets see what I have done.
1- lost my mother-in-law to cancer
2- Earned my Bachelors degree (finally:)
3-Had both of my toes operated on (wasn't serious)
4-put my house up for sell
5- Husband changed jobs
6-Got an awesome laptop!!
7-died my hair really blond
8-Went to vegas twice
9-Got a new nephew
10- I cant thinking of a tenth thing

Recent Happenings!!
Yes, I know it has been a little while since I posted. I have a couple of reasons.
I had no computer for a while and I simply kept forgetting :)
I am now the owner of a new laptop, courtesy of christmas!! YAY!! It is so awesome! I love it! A few months ago I had bought a little netbook, but it kept freezing and making funny noises. I called the manufacture and they won't replace it, but they said it was still under warranty. I had to pay to ship it back to them, hopefully they ship it back and the problem doesn't persist anym more. My husband (and myself) convinced me to get a nice laptop. My desk top computer is dieing a slow death and only will turn on half the time, the other half the time when it does turn on it sounds like it is about to take off into outer space. It's pretty noisy. So this is me right now, typing on my new computer!
This week was christmas, and as a Christmas tradition for me....I was sick. Not extrememly sick, but just a small fever and aches. I did get to visit my inlaws because they were all close by, but I have yet to visit my family for the holidays, due to not enough energy to drive there. It will happen though :)
So cool story.
This is the first Christmas we had without my mother-in-law. She died in January this year, but apparently she was thinking ahead. I often wonder if she thought she wouldn't make it another year. Anyways, she bought genuine nutcrackers that were from germany either just before Christmas last year or right after, intending them to be for this year. So each one of her kids got to open a gift from their mom this christmas. It even had the year 2011 and their names written on it. I thought that was so neat. Now my husband and I have two genuine nutcrackers that were made in Germany. I will have to take pictures and show you.
I Guess I should give everyone (or those who read this) a Chronic Mono update.
I still have it!!!!! I am not sure how to get rid of it any more. If I ever get over it, I should write a book! But moslty the book would just be making fun of me and all the things I have tried. Right now I feel like I am just taking a lot of pills! Don't worry I am not popping a bunch of drugs. They are vitamins and non-perscription. I hate swallowing pills, I gag easily! So instead of putting all the pills in my mouth at once, I have to take one at time. It gets annoying.
SO, my blogs are usually random and don't really have a good flow to them :) I mostly write because I like too, so it doesn't matter much to me.
I died my hair! I have always wanted to go really blonde, but instead it went orange!! I swear it was orange! It was crazy!!My sister agreed with me, so I went and put hilights in it to calm down the orange color, I think it looks a lot better.
In these two pictures it actually looks like a cute color, but the lighting in the bathroom and on my camera was not doing it justice, it really did look orange!
The picture below is with the hilights in my hair. I asked the girls who were doing my hair if they would style it, they were excited to do so and this is how it turned out. I was just thinking of them straightening it, but they went all out! It was awesome!!
I was able to babys sit this cute little girl and her cute older sister for an hour or two, It was lots of fun. I wanted to take lots of pictures of her with her cute flower, but.........
All she was interest in was her feet, or maybe it was the flower on her pants she was so interested in!!

Below is a picture of every one who was at my husbands families house for Christmas eve dinner!
The lovely Christmas table before we all sat down to eat.
In November we welcomed this cute little dude into our family, he is my nephew and he is so so adorable (I know, I say that about every baby!)

titles? i really never know what to put as a title for my blog. It is probably best to write the blog and then title it, but by the time I'm done writing my blog post I have usually totally forgotten about the title anywasy.
I really have decided I don't like driving in the salt lake area, especially during ......wow my mind just went blank.....what is it called, oh yeah, rush hour traffic. Coming from a small town I never had to worry about rush hour traffic.
All over salt lake they are doing this new thing where if you want to turn left, you have to get in a special lane way before the actual place you want to turn. It then directs you to the opposite side of oncoming traffic and you end up driving on the left side of the road until you finally are aloud to turn left.....ok I can see where this can speed up the process of moving cars along quicker, but what if you are not from the area? Is this a new thing they are doing all over this country? I hope so, because people coming to visit salt lake area will be confused. I really havent ever travelled much, so maybe everyone else has been doing this sort of thing for a long time.....
Anyways,onto another topic. I just don't know which topic to talk about. I always have great ideas about what I should blog about when I am not anywhere near my computer. I usually remember those ideas when I get to my computer, but then I usually decide that I am too tired to write on my blog.....wow, sometimes my life sounds really lame!!
I have been in this weird phase lately. For the past two and a half years I have been determined to get over this chonic mono, but lately I have....hmmm not given up......I don't know what the right word be at this moment. I have just been living my life as if this is how my life has always been......(just FYI when I have several dots in a row, it means I am thinking and there is a longer pause then just a regular period allows(at least in my mind any ways)) Wow a parantheses inside a parantheses, is that legal? Back to this weird phase, I just don't realy know how to describe it. I just do what I can and leave it at that. I have stopped getting so depressed about the things I can't do or want to do. Is that a good thing??
I would like to do a "what did I do last week". I am very forgetful at times, and sometimes I just can't believe how forgetful I can be :)Silly me. So this last week was eventful. I don't remember what I did Monday (that is why I need to blog more often), on Tuesday I help out with my grandma. I love helping her and she can be quite funny! She is living with my aunt Joan right now and I think she is enjoying it alot. She has four of her grandkids there to always keep her company. She needs to have someone there with her to help her out. She is mostly wheel chair bound. So on Tuesdays I go spend them with grandma while everyone is at work or school. My aunt Joan has this huge dog....ok to me, it is huge, but so adorable. My grandma loves this dog and thinks he is so cute, I agree with her. There are times that he scares the pajeebies out of me. He likes to look through the kitchen door and he will jump up and look in all happy, well I am near the door sometimes and all the sudden he jumps up to look at me and I am staring at this dog eye to eye! He is a goldendoodle....I think. On to Wednesday, I drove down and stayed with RB for the rest of the week and weekend. I went and saw the new twilight movie with RB, my sister and her husband, and a couple of Dalines Friends. It was an interesting show. My final verdict is I liked it, but I think they should have just made one movie. It would probably be a long 2-3 hour movie, but there was a lot of scened that just lingered on to much in my mind.
And now I am becoming tired! so it is time to say so long to the blogging world for now!
Bye

I have been stressed this week!

I am writing from my phone tonight, it is after midnight though so I guess its early morning. I went to Vegas last weekend. We left Thursday and drove there. My husband ran ragnar! It was crazy! He has been planning it or a while. He ran it with his broher and his sister. They had a team of 12 people and ran 188 miles in 36 hours! Talk about craziness!
We went to a movie tonight. Puss in Boots! It was great, it made me smile and laugh! I want the sound track now! It has some music you just want to get up and move too! I love that kind.
My step sisters baby shower was a success! Lots of people came and I ordered a huge subway sandwich! Three foot sub, but it was like ten inches wide! This thing was huge and there were probably twenty people eating it and I still had about a foot left to take home. I bet tu can guess what we ate all weekend! My step sister is having a boy. I am so excited for her.
Last night my younger sister came over with a couple of friends. They were getting ready for a Halloween party and I did there make up! It was fun! I will have to post pictures!
