Party!

For the last month or so Paula and I have been planning a surprise 50th for our mother! MAN, it was the hardest most rewarding thing that i've done! Though I cried and was TOTALLY stressed I'm happy to say that she knew something was up but didn't know what! I was happy that she was happy! We were able to get my sister-in-law Shari and my neice Lillian here, plus my older sister Paula from Cali, One of my mom's bestfriends from Seattle and another good friend she hasn't seen in atleast ten years! Along with a few other people that she associates with through various things! It was a blast to see the reaction on her face when she walked into the house and saw how many people we there and cared about her! I'm proud of everyone that helped me to get things together! I'm sorry for anyone that thought I was being a brat or that I yelled at! I did yell at three people outside of the family and I do REALLY feel bad about it! Sorry! All in all It was a smashing hit

Life in Washington...Oh how I love the good 'Ol Northwest!

YEAH! It's finally getting hot and we are getting somewhat stable weather! We've been having weather like Seattle! It's funny because it's either hot outside and freezing in my office or freezing outside and blistering hot in my office! haha.. Make up your mind mother nature! um.. I've been learning LOTS about myself lately. It seems that everyone around me is changing and i'm.. I don't really know what I am!! Our family is at a rapid pace expanding. Shar Shar Binks is getting ready to have another baby, yeah for Lil! Brice and Jules just had baby #4, Harmy! She is WAY cute! And last but certainly not least G-baby is getting ready to have her first Jayden, He is going to be a cutie! I'm SO greatful for our every growing family! We are big but close!
Oh how I love the good 'Ol Northwest! I hope that it's nice this weekend because we have A LOT going on!
So, As everyone already knows I LOVE my job! I tell pretty much everyone that when they ask how I like it! The enviroment is good and I love that i'm not ALWAYS doing the same thing everyday.. With the exception of a few things! For now i'm just truckin' along!

The last few years..

2004:
So, This was the start of my journey! I graduated from RHS and was on my way. I started at Columbia Basin College in the fall of 2004 and was going strong, Until.. One day in Institute Trisha (my bestfriend) and I decided it would be nice to get out of Tri-Cities for a while! What a good idea I thought... So we planned and in November of 2005 I made the move. With our apartment already picked out and ready to go I packed up and the family helped me move!
2005:
Living in Salt Lake was the best thing that I could have done! After not having a job for the first few months I was lagging! Then after working for a temp agency for a few weeks I got an assignment to work for Boise Cascade (the lumber division)! I worked on that assignment for a week or so.. A few days later they asked if I would like to work for them as a permanant employee! Of course, I said yes! It was the best two years of my life! When I was deciding to make the move to Salt Lake I didn't think that I would be able to find a job that I loved like the one I had back home! However, to my surprise and to those who knew me best, I LOVED it and wasn't ready to give it up when I decided to make the move back home two years later!
I met MANY amazing people and made MANY amazing friends down in the Valley! I had experiences down there that changed my life! I will NEVER forget the people that I met and came to love down there! My first hot air balloon ride, my first love of snowboarding was formed there, and my love for people grew there! Trisha moved home at the end of our six month lease.. My decision on the other hand was to stay and stick it out.. even though there were a few that would have loved for me to come back to washington!
2006:
Still living in Salt Lake and growing from my experiences there! Starting to doubt my move and wanting to come home! After a few trips home and feeling like I don't belong I'm thinking maybe life in Salt Lake isnt' so bad! I was presented with the choice to move in with a Good family friend and her family, where I made lasting memories with the good people of Kaysville, Utah! While here in Kaysville I met the most AMAZING girl and one that would become one of my bestfriends, Shalyce! She was someone that I knew I could rely on and still can even though we are hundreds of miles away and she is married and living life. I also had the opportunity of being on the YSA council for our stake there in Kaysville! I learned so many things and met LOTS of awesome people. One of the other lasting people that I will remember is Paul. Readers digest version of Paul. He was the companion of one of our ward members sons! He is from Kenya and came on a visitors visa to see the Morley's! After a year and something odd months he is still living in Kaysville and trying for a student Visa! Paul is an AMAZING man and I miss having him in my life everyday to learn and grow from.
2007:
After much thought and appreciation for what I have I'd made the decision to move back home! It was a tough decision but I now know it was for the best! I moved home in late June of 07. It was the best decision for me at the time! I came home and am loving it!
2008:
After eigth months of working as a Nanny, and LOVING it! I'd decided it was time to get a "real" job again! So, I started applying like crazy! I landed a job at KEPR-Tv Channel 19! and.. guess what! I love it almost as much as Boise! It's never the same thing everyday and I'm learning so much about the market! It's awesome to see how commercials are made, what goes into a news cast, and how CRAZY it gets 15 minutes before the 5 O'clock news.. It's MADNESS!!
