The Roach of Death

No sleep for you!




Erica---"ok I am literally paralyzed no sleep tonight, A cockroach fell out of nowhere and landed on my bed. like literally dropped from the sky. onto my bed. it made a *plop* noise and everything. it ran under my dressed after i screamed and sent it flying across the room. I will not sleep til its dead."



Nadia--"XD I think I am going to pee my pants...that is awesome."



Erica--How is that awesome? It's a roach!



Nadia--I am just laughing really hard at you right now....it fell from the sky.



Erica--it did. i was sitting there watchin tv next thing i know i hear a plop on my bed and i was and its sitting there. it had the same WTF look on its face that i had. i almost felt bad killing him but he almost crawled on my pillow and just no. right now he is sitting under a 5 lb weight where he belongs. omg what if it had fallen on my head? and where did he come from? i barely put the furniture back in here last night.



Erica--it wasn't even the flying kind.



Nadia--I can't believe you were scared of a roach. I would have just chased it from the room like "be free roachy!"



Erica--No have a pathological fear of them, they are evil and slimy and gross and it almost touched my pillow than i would have roach face. tomorrow when i get the courage to clean up his body im gonna have to sterilize my weights. i won't work out with them till they are clean. i already changed my sheets.



Nadia--You are a freak. Now you can't make fun of my weird habits. I fear spiders but i at least am almost normal about it.



Erica--You didn't get attacked by a mutant roach when you were 9.



Nadia-- No but Adam Ward and this kid Anthony threw about 5 of them into my hair in the 7th grade...



Erica--roaches? omg ew ew ew ew. Roach hair! omg ew!



Nadia--Totally proves I am a bad ass though because I only screamed a little...luckily swim that night succesfully killed the germs. YAY chlorine!



Erica--ew ew ew ew ew that is so gross. i would pass out and cry if that happened to me.



Nadia--well that is because you my dear sister are what we call a wimp....you are like a billion times bigger than any roach...even mutant ones.



Erica--yeah but they have all the bacteria on them.



Nadia--The toilet bowl alone has mroe bacteria than a cockroach. Yet you use that everyday.



Erica--it doesn't actually, on the whole toilet bowls are cleaner than cellphones, however roaches carry a sewer full of germs.



Nadia-- Touche



Erica-- indeed lol





*this is why my sister and I deserve our own tv show or something....tell me you were not at least once amused whilst reading this. HAHAHA I love our conversations.

Our Twisted Little Family

So Katie, Zach, Robert, and I headed to California in my car (which didn't have air conditioning the entire time) on August 6, 2010 for a weekend of fun in the sun. We spent the whole way out there laughing and singing and just getting pumped for the vacation. We hit SoCal and suddenly were relieved that it was not 100 and some odd change degrees outside. In fact...we were COLD! Seriously it was probably only like 75 degrees but whoo nelly was I chilly. I felt so grown up though checking into the hotel (which I booked by myself) and I certainly was excited to be there with them all. That first day we walked around the mall near the hotel and looked and different shops. We were tired from traveling and had a long day at Disneyland the next day. That evening we were getting ready for bed and the guys were sitting trying to figure out what we were doing as far as sleeping arrangements. As it turns out Katie and Zach shared a bed and Robert and I shared the other. It was funny because Robert and I divied up the blankets and soon made our own seperate cocoons....I know...the couple doesn't share but the just friends did.
Disneyland was AMAZING! We got on the Matterhorn 3 times, Splash Mountain we got on 4, and we even got on the Finding Nemo ride as well as Space Mountain and a lot of other rides. We hit all the big ones and a few small ones. We had so much fun just running around and taking pictures and riding rides. Robert had never been and seriously his inner child was free and happy that whole day hahaha needless to say when we got to the hotel that night we all crashed and were so tired. We spent the whole day there and pretty much were hungover from Disneyland the rest of the weekend.
Sunday we went down to San Diego. We spent a few hours ot Capistrano Beach were Zach played in the water, we made a sand castle thing, we even made Robert into a mermaid! After we went to Old Town San Diego and I was extremely sad when the Whaley House costed money....we ended up not going in but the trip was eventful as Zach bought mad libs and we naturally made them as perverted as possible. I mean "Giraffes have smutty ears that are sensitve to the faintest lesbians" says it all. Monday we checked out of the hotel and headed towards Rose Hills cemetery to lay some flowers on my grandpa's grave. We were there and grandma pulls up all ready to yell at the strangers on her husbands grave when she realized it was me and my friends. She was so shocked, but happy. It was good seeing her and I was glad she got to meet Robert. We all at at the Sizzler and than headed home to Nevada.

This weekend made my year. I love our twisted little family and I know we are all going to have so many more adventures together. On thursday we are going to the Children's Discovery Museum in Vegas and watching Vampires Suck. Am I excited? HELLS YEAH!!! These guys ( and girl) are seriously so amazing. We really are a little family and we all enjoy each other's company. I am glad I have friends like them.

Round Two

So tonight Robert and I were at his house and we were sitting on his couch. Now we had just finished watching Nine starring Daniel Day Lewis and a billion A List Actresses...anyways we were sitting and naturally we kissed. Now Robert for some reason could not just like...breathe through his nose...anyways this crazy shenanigan occurred where he looked at me and said "Round Two" than sucked in a bunch of air and went in for the kiss....

Needless to say I busted up laughing....It was hysterically adorable and I couldn't help but go "aaw" in my head. I mean he was prepared to hold his breath for as long as possible just to kiss me. Gotta admire that.

In other news though it looks as if we will be going to California in August!!!!! I am so excited to be going out there since it has been awhile and it will be fun to go to Disneyland and the beach. We will be there for four days and there is a lot to be done! I need to make sure my car will be up for the trip though so eventually I need to take it to get the spark plugs replaced and the oil changed...since I am in bad need for both. Also it might suck to drive with no air conditioning...yeah probably huh?

Work has be suckishly awesome...it sucks that I have to work yet at the same time I have been enjoying it. I think it's been because I have been seeing more of some people and less of others. I really need to plan sometime to go on an actualy date with Robert. I am thinking we should do another Vegas trip and go to the Bodies exhibit or maybe we could go to St. George or something. IDK but I am thinking of something to do that is date wise. Man we really have settled easily into a non date relationship hahaha but I honestly do like to just watch movies with him at home or just sit and talk for hours. We have fun.

I can't wait for school to start next month! I am taking classes and I couldn't be happier! I need to pay my fees though which makes me sad but at least I am back in school!!!!! Stinking Zach though is leaving in the winter to move to HAWAII! Yeah freaking hate that kid and his luckiness. I mean he does have to suck it up and be a good boy til he gets into BYU Hawaii and untill than I will be going to church with him so he won't suffer alone. I don't mind going to church but I feel awkward since all that drama happened with Charlie and everyone. I miss going to church and my testimony hasn't decreased. I just don't feel the same. I am planning on going on Sunday Morning providing works doesn't get in the way. Hopefully all goes well. I may leave early depending on how much sleep I get since I am closing on Saturday night. Oh joy!

Long yet Good Week

Well I have decided that working at my job, although fun, is turning into my own personal hell. I haven't seen my family in like forever and I also feel like I don't really get enough credit for what I do. I always try and make sure my job gets done as well as the customers get served. I don't want to have people have to have a lot of work to do after I am gone so I cover my station, but I am finding lately I am doing other people's jobs as well and THAT bothers me. I like that those I work with can rely on me, but when they rely on me to make sure their work is less...yeah not exactly my cup of tea. I don't mind helping out you know? Just when the help becomes a full time job in itself...not cool. Jacqui told me about a job at a library that I should apply for and honestly I am going to do just that. Good hours, better pay, and it is in a freaking library...I LOVE BOOKS!!!! I seriously would be happy if I got that job. Also I think I would make quiet the librarian haha

Went to Provo on Wednesday to see people up there. Zach drove and Robert and I slept bahahaha we weren't supposed to but somehow we both managed to fall asleep, although robert seemed able to take pictures of me, sleeping the booger! When we got up there we picked up Micah Jensen at the bank before heading over to Jenny and Dennis' house. It was funny because he hopped into the car saying "Quick drive away! I got the money!" Needless to say it was rather funny. We got to the house and there she was...Olivia Joy Anderson. Let me tell you that she is the most adorable baby I have ever seen and she is so tiny! I got to hold her and she fell asleep the first time. After awhile she was passed around like a hot potato and eventually she ended up back in my arms. When it was time for her to eat we took off and went to In N Out. let me say I am grateful to Utah for finally getting some! I love those burgers and fries!!!! We left kinda early but it was nice to not have to be getting home so late. Zach, Robert and I always seem to have the most interestingly deep/ perverted conversations, but I honestly don't really care because those two are two of my best friends. It was funny because Zach's car blew a fuse and Robert performed road side car surgery on it and finally managed to get the interior lights working. At one point his legs were hanging out of the car window!

The Happy Family!!!!

THE CUTEST BABY!!!

Fastballs and Curveballs.

It is amazing how much can change in the blink of an eye. I don't even know where to begin but here it goes.

As of right now I am not working on my mission papers...I am in fact doing whatever it is exactly that I am doing with Robert. I guess it is a "we are seeing what happens" but yeah anyways that is where it is at and I am happy. Of course it hasn't been smooth sailing at all. There is opposition and oddly enough neither of us really cares. I know I didn't plan for this to happen, but I don't regret my decision. People change and things happen to help us change our minds. I know I have been angry at some people lately, but it wasn't entirely undeserved either. I am happy and that seems to bother people because they expected me to be happy in a different way or setting.

All I know is that Robert is an amazing guy and he is so good to me. I mean the guy bought me a really nice bouquet of flowers just to cheer me up last week. NO ONE has ever just bought me flowers like that before. He is so patient and kind and I am pretty darn lucky to know him let alone have this with him.

In other news though JENNY HAD HER BABY!!!!!! Olivia Joy was born at 6:48 am on June 21, 2010. Hopefully I get to see them on Wednesday...since I am going to be driving up there just for that reason!!!!!

Life is amazing and I wouldn't change anything about it.

SO CLOSE!!!

If you can imagine me dancing this is the song I am shaking my booty too...




"TOMORROW TOMORROW I LOVE YA TOMORROW YOU'RE ONLY A DAY AWAY!!!!!"



That's right.....it has been a week and believe it or not my mind has not changed since last Sunday....in fact I have found some scripture this week that has let me know that I ...CAN do this!!!!!!!! AGH!!!! Interview with the Branch President? Pfft easy peasy lemon squeezy!
 
Those scripture verses were/ are
 
Alma 13:28-30
"But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear, and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love, and long suffering;"
"Having faith on the Lord; having a hope that ye shall recieve eternal life; having the love of God always in your hearts, that ye may be lifted up at the last day and enter into his rest."
"And may the Lord grant unto you repentance, that ye may not bring down his wrath upon you, that ye may not be bound by the chains of hell, that ye may not suffer the second death."
 
Alma 14:13
"And Alma said: Be it according to the will of the Lord. But behold, our work is not finished; therefore they burn us not."
 
Alma 15:16
"And it came to pass that Alma and Amulek' Amulek having forsaken all hsi gold, and silver, and his precious things, which were in the land of Ammonihah, for the word of God, he being rejected by those who were once his friends and also by his father and his kindred."
 
These have really spoken to me and taught me alot about what I need to do and what I need to work on. I always feel really connected to Alma and his life and teachings. My patriarchal blessing says something in it and I automatically always think of Alma. I also have learned a lot of Amulek's sacrifice in choosing to go with Alma to bring the word of God to the people. I take courage in what both those noble men did.
