Costume party

My mom and Nancy and I went to a costume party this past Friday and we had a really good time. I went as a Roman Goddess. hehe

Cousins

As an only child, I grew up with my cousins being like my brothers and sisters. I was very close to a great many of them. This blog is to honor my dear cousins who have provided me with a lot of love throughout my life! Without them, I would have been a lot more lonely growing up. Above is my sweet cousin Rachel who is 11 years younger than me, but despite the age different, we've been very close...she now is married and has a new baby girl! She is a sweetheart!

To the left is my cousin and one of my best friends in the world, Holly. We were as close as could possibly be while growing up. Holly is five years younger than me, but I was always a little young for my age and Holly was always a little older for her age, so we averaged out real nice! She is now married and has four beautiful children.

Above Holly and I is a picture of my wonderful cousin Jenny (in the orange shirt and sunglasses). There is a THIRTEEN year age difference between us, therefore, while we were very young we weren't that close, but we have made up for that now, because she is now not only a wonderful cousin, but a very dear friend as well. She is studying to be a firefighter and has the best boyfriend named Rick. I love my Jenny dearly!

To the left here is my cousin Cindi, and we grew up being very close friends and cousins. She always lived far away, but she would come out and visit us a lot during the summers and we just loved eachother so much and still do! She is a great gal and is only 2 years younger than me and has a great husband and four pretty little girls!

SO HERE'S TO COUSINS EVERYWHERE, YOU'RE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finished!

I am actually done with all four of the "Twilight" books. It's bittersweet. I am sad to be done with them because I will really miss them, yet I am happy because now I know how it all turned out. No more worries there! :D Thanks again Lura so much for introducing me to "Twilight". I loved them so much!!

Six things that have made me smile this past week...

My good friend Lura posted a blog about six things that made her smile within the past week, it is such a wonderful idea to do such a thing! So, here are mine...

1. My mom's outrageously cute and fun sense of humor! She has made me smile so much with how wonderfully funny she can be!!

2. The fact that my mom has now lost at least 102 lbs!! How awesome is that!?

3. My job has made me smile quite a bit, and I feel so blessed to have such a perfect job for me!

4. School is wonderful, there couldn't be another class I'd rather be taking! It makes me smile a whole lot!

5. Reading the Twilight books, which I have been going through rather rapidly.

6. Just last night on the bus with the deaf kids, one of the girls was playing with a stuffed monkey and was making it use sign language and she was signing back to it, it was so cute and funny, it really made me smile big!

Thanks Lura for the wonderful idea to remember the things that have made me smile this past week...and I'll even add a seventh thing....#7. Writing this blog!

Worried!

Yeah, I know that I've posted a lot of blogs on my feelings about the "Twilight" series, and I feel I must do it again. I am about three quarters of the way through the third installment called "Eclipse". I am so worried how it's going to end because my cousin-in-law told me that she read all of them and she really liked "Twilight" but the rest of them all got worse with each one...so I'm REALLY worried about how this will end! I know I need to relax, it's just a fictitious novel about vampires and werewolves, but I can't help it, LOL. For those of you who have read all of the novels, if you have any words of comfort (without giving anything big away) please send them my way. I'll be on to the fourth novel within a few days I'm sure, so I'll find out soon. So yeah, that's my worrisome babble for now, hehehe. Thanks for listening!

Behunin Reunion

This was taken at the 2008 Behunin Family Reunion in Mt. Carmel Utah just outside of Zion Nat'l Park. It was a reunion for the descendants of Isaac Behunin, who was the first settler of Zion and gave it its name. I'm proud to be the great-great-great Granddaughter of such a neat man. It was a wonderful reunion with lots of my awesome cousins there...I wish they could have all been there, but it was still fun nonetheless. I am in charge of next year's reunion...I'm not sure what I've gotten myself into! LOL

Better!

Okay, now I feel SOOO much better about the "Twilight" books again now that I've finished reading "New Moon" (I was thrilled at how much better it got toward the end!!) and I am at the beginning of "Eclipse". I am so hooked to these books. Even when I wasn't thrilled with "New Moon" it still took me just less than a week to finish it. So I guess I still really enjoyed it! LOL I can get youtube here at my house on my internet, but it's so much better at my school library, so I have even been going early for my Sign Language class so I have plenty of time to park and then go to the school library, put on the computer headphones, and watch all the clips from the new "Twilight" movie...blissful!! Thanks to Grammy Staffy for referring her fellow bloggers to come visit my blogspot! It's been great! Thanks for visiting everybody, please come back often!

Ugh!

Okay, I am over halfway through "New Moon" and I am very upset. I won't say why for those of you who have not read the books and still want to, but I am very unhappy with how this book is going. It's still interesting on some levels, but nothing like the wonderful "Twilight" was! Okay, enough said. LOL

Twilight!

Okay, this may sound silly, but I went out and bought all four books of the "Twilight" series before I even looked carefully at any of the books. I bought them totally based on what a friend was saying and the little clip she showed me on youtube. I was really looking forward to reading them, and really hoping that I would enjoy them as much as so many people seemed to. Well, I've only read the first two chapter of the first book and..........I'M HOOKED!! I already love Edward, feel like Bella is a long lost friend, and wish I could go to school in Forks, WA. Yeah, I know, a lot of feeling I'm having for only two chapters, but yet, it's true! So, thanks Lura for the recommendation!!
