Waterton

So I went to Waterton two times this year and I had a blast both times. The first time I went was when I was with my grandma and cousins. The Second time I went was with my Aunt Brenda and cousins, both those times I saw bears and of course deer. I love Waterton its is so beautiful I love the waterfall and all the amazing scenery. I think I would live in Waterton if I could, I would see the beautiful mountains and lakes and everything else. I love having picnics at the lake and I love seeing the waterfall too. The chipmunks are so cute if I could I would take one home for a pet. I would like to take a deer an a bear and have them as a pet too I know I am crazy when I think of that but hey that is OK I am always crazy. What else
 can I say about Waterton that I love let's see there is a lot that I can say about Waterton that I like.

Darrell And I

As most of you know Darrell and I have been together for 3 years. We have been married for 4 years. A year after we got married, we found out that we were expecting. We were so happy about having a baby. We thought everyone would be happy. Everyone was happy except my mom. My mom wasn't too happy, she thought we weren't ready to have a baby. I knew I was ready to have a baby. Darrell and I were so ready for this.

Relationships can go wrong but mine is going right

Relationships can go wrong wrong but in my case mine is going amazingly right in so many ways. I am currently in a relationship with this amazing guy named Darrell Jones. I am so happy I have him in my life he is so amazing in so many ways and I love him so much. Darrell and I have been together for 8 months it will be 9 months in February the 14th. We got together May 14th 2012 and before we became boyfriend and girlfriend..... Wait for it OK here is the story.... I was hanging out with this guy named David Rum OK we weren't just hanging out we were dating. While we were dating I met Darrell, David, Darrell and I went to David's house and decided to play games. David then started playing his guitar and I sang along, I noticed Darrell staring at me as I was singing. His eyes at me and my eyes at him. I then looked at David at smiled at him and he smiled back at me. After three days of dating David i decided that it wasn't working out so I broke things off I then started dating Darrell and it is working out amazingly.

Now lets talk about relationships that have gone bad, lets put it this way and think about fairy tales for a bit.

Cinderella is one of the leading causes of divorce. If you don’t believe me, read on......

Most women grow up with Disney’s version of a storybook romance fueling their desire to fall in love, get married, have children and live happily ever after. Once we are a little older we continue on our path with movies like Sleepless in Seattle, Pretty Woman and The Holiday keeping our fantasies alive. We almost have no chance; we are pumped with romance not only in movies, but in novels, magazines and of course societal pressure to get married before we become old maids. What’s a girl to do?

We finally meet a guy that seems worthy of our love and we get married. We plan a big wedding and get lost in the excitement of it all. Unfortunately, nobody really tells you that marriage takes a lot of work and dedication, they simply congratulate you.

I was no different. I bought into the whole handsome prince taking me away on his white horse nonsense and I liked it. It’s exciting to think about actually. I met my prince and he was a good guy. I had a ball planning my wedding. I got so busy planning my wedding that I forgot to pay attention to my relationship.

Several years and a few kids into my marriage I decided I wasn’t happy because my ex wasn’t the prince I thought he was going to be. In other words, he didn’t sweep me off my feet each day, tell me how beautiful I was and how much he loved me, buy me lots of big expensive gifts, fly me all over the world showing me all that life had to offer and oh yea, he didn’t help me with all of the extensive details required in running a household and raising little kids. Most of all, he didn’t “make me happy” like the prince is supposed to do.  Or so I thought...Looking back he was a great prince and he did buy me nice things, take me away on nice vacations and buy me a very  nice home to raise out kids in.  I didn't see it though because I was so buried in my story that I couldn't see my reality.

I saw those princesses dancing around and singing when they thought about the man they loved and I wasn’t singing or dancing. In fact, I was kind of depressed. I built up years of resentment that made matters even worse. What I didn’t realize until a year or two after I got divorced was that I was the one who was supposed to “make me happy.” Go figure. All those years I blamed him for not making me happy and it wasn’t even his job. This is a common misconception in relationships on both sides, actually. We so often look outside of ourselves for happiness and in reality; the only person who can make us happy is ourselves. Unfortunately, it is often after the divorce that many people learn this lesson, if ever.

The man in cases like these is often shocked and surprised by the fact that his wife is going to leave him. He thought everything was going along fine. The house was clean, dinner was on the table and he had the house, the wife, the dog and 2.3 kids.

He had no idea he was even playing the role of the prince, let alone what the job requirements were. How was he supposed to do the right thing when he didn’t know what that meant? He went off to work each day, working hard to provide for his family like every young man is taught to do. He is told by the men in his life that if he worked hard to get ahead and provide for his family everything would be great. While I was married I lost my identity and my individuality. I got so busy trying to be the perfect wife and mother that I forgot to take care of me. I forgot what I stood for and what made me who I was. I spent the last 5 years figuring out what makes me happy and becoming the responsible party for making me happy. I urge you to take time after your divorce to “find yourself.” Figure out what makes you happy. Many women lose themselves in relationships and forget what is important to them. Do some exploring and figure out what you really want in a relationship before you get into another one?

There is no point in getting into another relationship and making the same mistakes you made in the first one. What’s the hurry? Take some time for yourself and get to know yourself again. I’m willing to bet that you will like the person you find. The time it takes will be worth it because it will shape your future-don’t repeat the past. If you put your self in a relationship like Cinderella's your not going to like it and want to change the way hings are going in your relationship and that's not going to be good cause the person you are in a relationship with might wanna tell the story differently when people ask you what happened and when and how come you guys broke up. Anyway relationships might go the way you plan on them to go but don't think that it will. If you really like the person you are with make sure they like you too and if you both think it is going to work out then ask your selves questions like: Does this person really like me and do I like them, How much does this person care about me and do I care about them, and does this person support me and do I support them.

Waiting

Waiting to see what I want to do with my life, I want to go to collage at some point in my life and take Massage Therapy or Early Childhood Education. It's ok to wait to see what you want to do and when you want to do it. My plan was after High school I would go to the Lethbridge collage and take either of those courses. I also planned on living in Lethbridge after High School, as most of you know neither of those worked out the way I wanted it too. Someday I will chose what I plan on doing in collage and when I want to do it but for now I am doing nothing. When I say nothing I don't mean it literally cause I was looking for a jobs and applied to some in Cardston where I live. 

After I applied to some jobs they all said we will give you a call back so I waited and waited. I never got a call back from any of the jobs that I applied at so I decided to wait to see if they would call back but still no call backs. I then applied at Extra Foods in Cardston the wanted to interview with me so I did and they said with in 48 hours they will give me a call back so I waited till 48 hours passed then called them back because they didn't call me back when they said they would. I thought to myself I waited long enough so it was time to do a follow up so I did, after I called they said they would call me back cause they had to do a check up. I waited for them to do a check up then they called me back and they said they were unable hire me at the moment.


After that I said to my self waiting takes time why do we have to wait and wait for things to happen. I hate waiting but we all have to wait right cause if we don't wait nothing will happen. I learned that if I wait for something it will happen but if i don't it won't happen.

'' Life is short but waiting for something to happen in life is worth wating for.''

Where to Start?

How about I start with the new year that is where I am going to start. Well as you all know 2011 has ended and I am sad that 2011 had to end. Now it is 2012 and that will end sometime but not for a while and when it does I will be sad but until then I will not be sad. What else to talk about I have no idea what to talk about next. I am thinking about taking massage therapy but I don't know anymore so I will chose something else. Right now I am taking online courses for Math, English and Chemistry. I am doing photography too but I am bad at it right now. I can change that fast and start taking pictures. Ok I am going to change the subject a bit. I am sure you all know that I am turning 20 yes 20 that is a little scary for me. I don't want to grow up I really don't want to HELP me.

Salt Lake Temple

Ever since I saw picture's of the Salt Lake Temple I really wanted to go see it in real life. Well I got to I went and took pictures of it. I loved the Temple. Here is some information about the Salt Lake Temple. Announcement: 28th July 1847, Site Dedication: 14th February 1853 by Brigham Young, Public Open House: 5th April 1893, Dedication: 6-24th April 1893 By Wilford Woodruff
Site: 10 acres, Exterior Finish: Quarts monzonite ( similar to granite) quarried from little Cottonwood Canyon 20 miles Southeast of Salt Lake City. Number Of Rooms: Four progressive- style ordinance rooms and fourteen sealing. Total Floor Area: 253,000 square feet.

Temple Locale

Positioned on Salt Lake City's center block, known as Temple Square, the spires of the Salt Lake Temple rise amid downtown high-rises and super malls. Sharing the block are the North Visitors' Center and South Visitors' Center; the Tabernacle, home of the famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir; and the Gothic-style Assembly Hall. East of the temple is the masterfully landscaped Main Street Plaza, complete with reflecting pool. Beyond the plaza is the Church's world headquarters, known as the Church Office Building, and the Joseph Smith Memorial Building—a multipurpose Church building, which has become a popular wedding event center. The Church's Conference Center, an architectural masterpiece, lies directly north of the temple. Every holiday season, Temple Square is transformed into a highly popular display of hundreds of thousands of Christmas lights. I am great-full that I was able to see the Salt Lake Temple and take pictures of it and have memory of it.

The Pain

The pain we go through

when one of us is hurt

as the days go by when

we are alone a friends

heart is always open

for a companion to be

let in.
