So lately it is not that I don't have good days but there are some days that are better and easier that others. This last weekend was one of those good ones. Saturday night Ryan and I went to a BBQ with some of our old friends. That was great. We were able to catch up and hang out. Sunday we went to another one of our friends ward for their baby blessing. That was so neat. Their baby was so beautiful. Afterwards, everyone hung out and ate good food and had good conversation. There were a lot of our friends there as well. It is just really good to see people you care about. Then we headed home to hang out with Richard,Lisa and the kids. We had a blast. The WII was of some fun entertainment. Dinner was great and then we went for a drive up the Provo canyon to see the fall trees. Every one piled into Ryan's truck with Lisa and myself in the back of the truck with some blankets. It was so beautiful I can't believe it. Then we returned home to play some games. I know it does not sound like much but it was a good day. Thanks Foster family lets to it again. Lolly you are the best. Love you lots! Thanks for sitting in the back with me!

Las Vegas Vacaton With Mom and Dad and the Greenhalghs 2008
Where do I begin. this was a much needed vacation with my family. Even though every one could not be there is was a blast to be with my parents and the Greenhalghs. We never get to see that Greenhalghs much. I could not get over how cute these two girls are. I just wanted to be with them every single min. Stacy and Jason are both so skinny. When did I miss the skinny boat. I am so proud of the both of them. Stacy has told me that she has lost almost 65 lbs. Can you belive that. There were many days at the pool. And lots of walking when we went to the strip. Then Ryan had to get a little bit of gambling in keeping in mind a $20 max. So late one night Stacy Ryan and myself went to go win some money. It only took us 5 min to loose it all. It was funny Ryan came up to me when he was done and said that was stupid. But it will be somthing that we will be able to always laugh about. It was great to spend some time with Stacy. We had a girls day and got out nails done and hung out. I miss her so much. Mom and dad were great too. Can't wait for the next trip.

My 27th Birthday
Besides what my wonderful husband and my sister did for me on my Birthday it was not my Favorite Birthday. Fist off the day of my birthday I had to work all day at this photo shoot for our catalog for 2009. I had to be up and out the door at 7:30. Ryan who does not wake up early very often got up at 5:00 AM to make me breakfast in bed. I had eggs,pancakes,jelly,Pb,OJ,sparkling drink(non achole),also a dossen kiwi roses on my tray. Then he gave me a gift card to Nordstroms. WAHOOOOOO. So the Morning started off great. I then get in my car to go to work and I start the car. To my surprise my car was shaking in a good way. Ryan had put a sweet sound system in my car for my Birthday. I was so excited. So at this point I am on my way to work. Not even 4 miles from my house I got in a bad car accident. I ended up running into the back of a Nissan Titian. It totaled my car. I was really upset I have never been in a car accident. So to make a long story short it started to get bad from that point. But I do want my Husband to know that I am so greatful for all that you did to make me feel special on my birthday. I love you

A Tribute to Shanda on her 27th Birthday!!
Ryan helped me to break into Shanda's blog so that I could post this video I made for her birthday. My name is Janell and I am one of Shanda's older sisters. Shanda, you have no idea how much I love and appreciate you. Compiling this video really brought back some amazing memories. I can't imagine what my life would have been like without you. I'm so greatful for you. We all are. You truly make this world better, brighter and happier. Happy birthday! Love, Nellie
