The Last Song....

So I just went & saw The Last Song with my friend Marie & let me just say its a new favorite for sure! I seriously loved it! Teared up a little bit.. alright maybe a lot a bit but it was definitely worth it! Nicholas Sparks, is one AMAZING, TALENTED man! I mean this, The Notebook, A Walk To Remember, Dear John..the list could go on & on! I love you Nicholas Sparks!


I would recommend it for anyone who hasn't seen it!
(if you cry in shows too, maybe take a tissue or two)

Pictures From The Past

So i was going through old pictures & i came across a few that made me cry, laugh, & smile so i just had to share & tell a little something to go along with each picture...

PHOTO 1:

This was probably the hardest moment of my life, saying goodbye to not only my big brother & best friend for 2 years.
(i know, doesn't look like me now... for those who don't know or dont really remember i had blonde hair back then!)
PHOTO 2:

This is a picture of a real Cow Tongue. For a YW/YM activity we did Fear Factor. One member of each team had to eat a piece of this, i was a member of an all guys team & was the one who ended up eating some. (The guys on my team were seriously the biggest wimps!) There were a number of gross things i ate this night including chocolate covered crickets, sardines & the tongue. The only gross thing i didnt eat that night was pickled pigs feet, & the reason behind that is pretty obvious. I HATE FEET & will NEVER eat them. Although it wasn't super horrible tasting i will probably never eat cow tongue or roast beef (tasted similar) ever again!
PHOTO 3:

One of the scariest, coldest rides of my life, yet funnest!
Four-wheeling with Sky & Axton has always been a favorite of mine, but this time in particular was by far the scariest. There is a very very steep scary hill way out in the dunes, numerous of times i have observed from up top as they have tried to ride up it only to make it half-way & almost flip over sideways on the way down. I vowed many years ago to never go up or down it! Well this day we were driving above it & i remember Axton telling me that "we" were going down it. As my grip around his waist got tighter & tighter, I began to say (my words exactly) "How about i watch you, sky & marie from up here, i'm scared to go down it." He stopped & looked back with this sad puppy dog face & said Dont you trust me?! I began to stand up & say i do but i'd feel safer up here watching... He then pushed on the gas & said Hold on Whit! As i tried to forcefully shove myself off he back of the fast moving four-wheeler, i felt Axton grab ahold of my arm to make sure i wasn't going off the back of it, but instead down the hill on the with him!! Not only did my life flash before my eyes but I thought i was literally gonna die. Once we made it to the bottom, Axton turned to me & said, See that wasn't even a scary. I do believe i was about 90% of the way off the 4-wheeler at that time. Considering it happened against my own will, i guess i can say, Ya i've been down that hill & once is more than enough for me!! :)
Last pic i promise.... PHOTO 4:

Sorry i know this is really gross! This is the after picture of my wart i had frozen. (side view of my ring finger on my right hand, middle knuckle) The original wart was very small, smaller than a half a skittle. I was very self conscious of my hand so i decided that i wanted it gone. When the doctor began to freeze it i told him to do it til i said stop. He froze it for about 2 minutes, when i finally couldnt stand the pain any longer I told him to stop. This is what it looked like later that night & about 3 weeks following. (sorry i'm getting a little graphic now) It was about the size of a grape, some days even bigger. It was stretching the skin so much that at times i thought my skin would rip, it was so shiny around the edges. Every night i would drain the blood out of it & this is what it would look like by morning. Life was pretty hard for the month or so following this procedure! But today all that is left on my finger is a small scar that i am ok with!

Bad Day...

So today was just one of those days when you think to yourself.. ah gosh i shouldn't have even gotten out of bed today! I had a very very long day at work, to top it off the a/c wasn't working & i had too many phone calls from impatient (rude) patients.Had to stay indoors while its was such a pretty day outside. & After i got off i went for a run & it was super sucky. Today was also one of those days where everything i did reminded me of you & every song i heard somehow related to you. I hate days like today, because they reminded me of the one thing i don't have.

Guess all i can do is smile & pretend everything is amazing & keep my fingers crossed for a better tomorrow :)

Things Guys Should Always Do For Girls. Period.

I have met some guys in the past few years who have turned out to be the BIGGEST jerks! So what you are about to read, pretty much says it all!!
Here are 21 things guys should always do for girls. PERIOD.
1. ALWAYS open doors whenever possible- whether it be to a building or the passenger car door.
2. A man should tolerate the occasional chick flick, musical, opera, or ballet- whatever her preference is *without* complaining about it!
3. If you miss her, or love her, TELL HER! It's nice to hear it every now & again
4. Hold her hand while you talk, drive, or just for the heck of it (it's the small things that win you big points!!)
5. Remember- The best gifts you can give are usually FREE of cost!
6. Leave a note (send a message) or call her just to say hi
7. Ask her questions about herself (its a good way to get to know her!)
8. Dress nice every once in a while. Any girl likes to see her brother/friend/boyfriend/etc. in a well-ironed button-up with some nice jeans or slacks.
9. LOOK IN HER EYES, NOT AT HER CHEST! (big turn off)
10. Sometimes you have to take the initiative. Don't always wait for her to come to you, because if that's how it always is, you're going to lose her.
11. Offer her your jacket/sweatshirt/hoodie (Note: You may not see that particular item of clothing for a while, if ever again :)
12. PRIDE & PREJUDICE... that's all i have to say about that. I mean, that should speak for itself.
13. Kiss her on the forehead every once in a while, it doesn't always have to be on the lips!
14. Always be honest with her. No woman wants or likes a dishonest man. If you can't be honest with her, she can't trust you, & it shows you don't trust her enough to be honest. Trust, Honesty & Integrity are just as important in a relationship as is hugs & kisses
15. Men, sing to her, even if you're terrible, suck it up! They love to listen to it & will not care what you sound like. It's the thought that counts on this one.
16. Don't always blame her bad moods on PMS, sometimes girls just have bad days too!
17. Guys always offer to pay for the date, no matter how expensive it gets, especially if YOU asked HER on the date (if she is willing (or offers) to pay now & again, don't let your "man pride" get in the way of her wanting to give back to you. She should understand money can be tight- especially when you're always buying)
18. If you're gonna tease her, let her tease you back without getting all bent out of shape about it
19. Don't call her hot or sexy, instead call her pretty, cute, or beautiful. "Hot" & "Sexy" are so overused & superficial!
20. Its not stalking to watch her sleep if she falls asleep while watching a movie with you, but it is stalking to watch her sleep if you're standing outside her window with night vision googles on! ha

& thats my spill :)

Big Decisions Ahead

So over the past few months i have been really debating on whether i wanna move or not. I want to get out of Hurricane/St. George area & go somewhere else. I'm tired of the same old everyday routine, i am ready to start a new chapter in my life & meet new people. I have always loved Provo/Orem area & 2 of my cousins have been working real hard on convincing me that i am ready to move up there with them this year. And really the only thing really holding me back right now is my job. It has the most flexible hours, its only open mon-fri., it's my doctor (so if i am sick i can just talked to him instead of scheduling an appointment), i work with people i love, its just all around the best job you could ask for....But I've said all along... If i could find a good job up there i'd move in a heart beat.
I guess i'll i can say is.... let the job searching begin!
