Freecycle.com is my new bff... well maybe not b ff but gff....

Last year, in getting ready for girls camp, I needed a lot of #7 tin cans. So, I found freecycle.com. It is a website where you sign up to get emails of people wanting to get rid of something or looking for something for free. So, I got my cans, but I still get emails of people getting rid of stuff. This last month, I totally lucked out....
I was given a set of China and a buffet table - and I love both! Totally free! Love it!!!

Meet my friend....:)

This summer, most of my days have been spent with L [identity protected]. She has cerebral palsy and I take care of her during the day. We have had a few adventures, spent time and the park and the pool. I have grown to just love her and her personality! Like the things that make her laugh - usually silly stuff, but sometimes it is something is ironic - or even when something bad happens.

I wish I had a picture of us dancing - because that had become one thing that she laughs hysterically at! It is more like ring around the rosie - but she loves it - and I love to make her laugh!

See the world!

I have to admit that I have been amazed by seeing some of the hotels on the strip in Las Vegas! Wow! Venice and the gondolas, Paris and the Eiffel tower, Egypt, New York, Rome, The Carribean..... there is just so much to see.... my favorite has been the Eiffel Tower.
I LOVED the waters at the Bellagio! How cool - it was like a fireworks show with water! Awesome!

Viva Las Vegas!!!!

When my roomie told me she was going to Vegas for Memorial Day Weekend, my first thought was - Have fun! When she invited me along for the practically free trip - I said count me in!!!
I mean who could resist staying in a castle?

With these two ladies....

My Sister

I was lucky enough to have my oldest sister, Shelly, visit in March. So here's the explanation. Shelly is 9 years older than me. She is the world's greatest sister! Well, she bore more from the family dysfunction than me. She found herself pregnant at only 16. I have always admired the fact that she had the courage to give her baby up for adoption. I have alway wondered what happened to the little boy. Well, when he contacted my sister last year, I found out that he lives in Spanish Fork, UT. Yes, here in UTAH!!!!

Shelly has loved every minute that she has been able to spend with him since she was reunited with him last May. So, she took the trip to Utah!

Its an amazing gift to have a sister. We talked and talked and talked. Then, I finally met my nephew, Noah! So cool to have met my long lost nephew AND have a family member in the state!!!!

Favorite show

I have fallen in love with a new show. Make it or Break it is a show about teenage girls who are olympic level gymnasts. It is on the ABC family channel, or if you are like me and do not get cable, you can watch it on HULU. Sometimes you just need some teenage drama in your life, eh?
