I got a picture with Captain Jack Sparrow!!! :)

Alright, needless to say, this has been an AWFUL year for me, and for others I'm sure. So you can imagine how surprised and excited I was when I got the group e-mail from AnJ saying they wanted to go to Disneyland!!! :) I haven't been since we went with the original family, aka Broderick's and Sadorus's. That was when NO ONE was married except Danny and Pila and my parents. We had a blast then, and so I knew as we went this time it would be amazing as well. Here are my highlights of the trip...
*Talking about the trip with everybody beforehand, trying to be quiet so Mason didn't hear us..
*Talking to Mason on the phone the night before the trip, "We are going to Disneyland Addie. And guess what? You are coming too!" Oh really... :)
*Getting lost on the way there! Thank you Toby for being able to read the map..HAHA
*Seein the GIANT California letters by the entrance of California Adventures, and even better they looked like Candy corn..let me help you to finish it.
*Riding Heimlich's train, I know it is for little kids, but his quotes were just SO funny. "I'm a cute little chu chu train. AUHH, I wish candy corn were a vegetable."
*RIDING THE CALIFORNIA SCREAMIN' COASTER. That was my favorite ride. So when you get on it, it takes you around by the pier and then stops you and counts down from 5. So I'm sitting next to dad, and mind you I've never been on this ride before. And as it counts down, it reminds me of the Rockin' Roller Coaster at Disney World. Then I remember it counts down too...and then it shoots you off at about 65 mph...I glanced over at Dad and his head was leaned forward looking around. So I yell to him "Dad, you might want to put your head back" and lucky he did, because shortly after, it sent us rocketing up this awesome hill. He thanked me after for telling him to put his head back. ☺
*Tower of Terror It was fun to ride that again, and to see how mom reacted on it. ☺ I thought for sure she'd be hanging onto Clint..
*Watching Mason get excited about everything, like seeing Tuh Mater without the Tuh in the Pixar Parade.
*Getting back to the hotel and watching Mason just fall right asleep because he was so tired.
*Watching AnJ and Clint trying to get Cooper to sleep in between them. Meanwhile, he just keeps saying Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi☺ Mom and me had to turn the other way to keep from laughing..
*Watching Mason...and Mandy pour over the map and tell us what the plan was for the second day..
*Mmmmm, the Raspberry White Chocolate cookie I got from the shop by the Winnie the Pooh Ride...Shout out to Garrett for telling me about this amazing cookie. So amazing in fact, that I bought another one for the ride home.. ☺
*Shout out to my ride buddy Toby. If I didn't have her, I would have ridden mostly by myself and where is the fun in that? ☺
*Seeing and getting a picture with Captain Jack Sparrow...Okay I know he wasn't Johnny Depp, but hey he was still the character and he looked almost exactly like him. Also, his mannerisms were the same. And he called me Darlin'☺☺☺ You can't compete with that..Ohhh, he was so HOT☺I was just trying to think of the other characters I saw, but I'm having a hard time doing so because Captain Jack just keeps popping in my head...☺
*The good food we had. The clam chowder was amazing, especially on that night because it was cold. It definitely blows Lagoon out of the water..☺
*The Pirates of the Caribbean Ride. That thing is awesome, especially now with Captain Jack in it three times. ☺
*Seeing everyone get wet on Grizzly Rapids and of course Splash Mountain...Poor Pila, she was in the front every time..
*Getting my amazing souvenirs including cookies, a pirate's blanket, a pirate's bracelet, thank you Toby, Mickey earrings, and a Mickey bracelet,thank you mom.
Seeing everyone's reactions to the Lego land show we saw..."Walk like an Egyptian.." HAHA
*Clint and me going on the mini log ride at Lego land and splashing everybody because most adults don't ride together if you catch my drift..something about weighing the log down..☺ HA
*THE OCEAN. I LOVE THE OCEAN. It was so fun to go there and see Masue and Tupa's reactions to it.
*Danny rolling up his pants and walking around in the ocean with the water up to his waist and sometimes higher. ☺
*Seeing the shark in the water. That was really cool it got within two feet of Clint one time. We think it was either a nurse shark or a leopard shark.
*Seeing Cooper trying to get in the water, he kept running back to get in it.
*Taking Mason in the water, and helping him jump the waves.
*Seeing the hot lifeguard clean his jet ski. He was tan and buff. ☺
*Mmmm, eating at Joe's Crab Shack. We wanted to try eating somewhere we've never eaten before, but that didn't work out. But hey, you can never go wrong with Joe's.
*I didn't want to come home...but I did, and now I'm wondering when we get to go back??? ☺

It's almost here...LADIES NIGHT!!! except, not the one you might be expecting.. :)

So many of you know that I'm working at Deseret Book and recently I started working in their Lion House Pantry. Auhhh the joys of food service..NOT! Anyway, this coming weekend is General Conference, and usually that means for me awesome talks, ladies night with the clan, (if you will), ice cream after the Priesthood session, and scones on Sunday morning.
However this time, I will not be with the clan for ladies night, unless we eat after four and before five. I work at Deseret Book from 5-9:30. Why so late you ask? Because it is the dreaded Ladies Night. Dun dun dun! :) So apparently, every General Conference, Deseret Book has a night for all the women to come to while the men are at Priesthood. The first 100 women there get a wall hanging that is pretty cute. There are a lot of sales on books. Also, we have a drawing for a grand prize that happens to be a pretty big picture of Christ holding a little girl, and she is holding a lamp. It was painted by Simon Dewey and I think it is entitled, "Let Your Light So Shine." All in all it could be a fun night right? HAHA, I think the only way to describe it, is CRAZY!!! There are a plethora of women crammed tight in there, and all I have to say is JUST PLAIN INSANE!!!! But if you need something to do that night you are welcome to join my co-workers and me for the night of CRAZY LADIES! :)

Guitar Hero to the rescue...among other things!

Alright! I'm finally back to life! Sorry it took me so long to blog again, but I feel I had a good reason for not "feeling" like it. BUT...Addie's here, never fear! :) So for those of you who don't know which I'm sure all of you do...the wedding is off. Brady was doubting that it was right because we were fighting more than normal and so we took a break the last week of April and that Tuesday night he felt the strongest confirmation that it was wrong. I still felt it was right still, but nevertheless he broke up with me on May 2nd. The week following that, he took a girl out from his ward that he's been friends with for a year or two and now to make the drama even better, he's engaged. Talk about quick. He is not the Brady I know, but I can't change anything. Also, I'm living with his sister which makes things even harder, almost unbearable. So that is basically what happened if anyone is wondering, which I'm sure you probably are, and I want to tell you because you are my family and you care about me. Anyway, this is the HARDEST thing I have ever been through. There were days I didn't want to live anymore, the pain hurt too bad. I feel like he took my heart and threw it on the floor and it shattered into a million pieces. I haven't even started picking it up yet. That is how I've felt. I barely remember that first week after he broke up with me. I guess the point is though, I'm getting through it. I'm doing so much better than I was. There are still hard days and hard moments sometimes, but I now feel like there is life back in me. The things that got me through the hard parts were: my family, (Thank you so much for everything, you stuck with me even when I treated you bad because that is all I felt. You still pressed on just being there when I needed you. :)), my mom has been amazing through this whole ordeal. She's been worrying about dad, but yet she was still there for me. My roommates have been amazing, especially my roommate Cheri. She's been there when I needed someone to talk to, and she let me play her Guitar Hero when I needed it. It really helps with anger issues, just so you all know. I recommend it to everyone because it is a blast! :)

My bishop has helped a lot as well. Thank you to everyone who has supported me through this tough time in my life. I'm still working on it, it isn't over yet. I think Brady is an idiot right now. He isn't acting normal because that engagement is so fast, but there's nothing I can do about it now, except maybe take a picture of his car, put it in the want ads with For sale for $200 and do not call til after 10:30! :) My religion teacher that knows Brady thought of that one. You won't believe the pranks I've thought of. Muhaha! But anyway, my time with him is done and now I need to take care of myself. So thank you for being patient with my lack of posts, and I want you to know that I am back on the blogging wagon, so look for more posts when I have something to write about! :)

Love you guys!

BULLSEYE!

Okay, so I haven't been the best at blogging, but
I'm trying okay. I've just been really busy with
classes and I'm tired. I know that's no excuse but
take it anyway! :) Anyway, here's a new blog for ya'll. So Brady and I are taking an archery class. Random I know, but still quite fun! I'm not very good at it, in fact I can aim but it usually doesn't go where I plan it to, note, check out my picture. Today I shot two arrows and on my third, I attempted to aim perfectly at the bullseye, but of course as usual, I'm off. However, not in the way I planned on. I, as you can see, shot right through one of my arrows, right through the middle of the shaft. Now that's talent! :) Everyone in the class was congratulating me on that perfect shot. So I just took it in stride, only telling Brady and the T.A. that I didn't mean to do it that way. Now the question is...should I hang the "one" arrow on my wall or should I take out the top arrow so I can keep using it, that way I won't have to buy more arrows? That is the question of the day! The Poll is open! :)
