A new year has come! There are a lot of changes in my life that I am happy about. I start school at Salt Lake Community College this upcoming week. It has been quite a long time since I've been at school. I have finally decided what I REALLY wanna go into and I REALLY excited about it. I have decided to focus on Psychology. I will be taking 3 classes at Salt Lake Community that are all Psychology

Wow, I can't believe it has been 2 months since I posted last. A lot has happened since I posted last. I had my birthday, I'm now 29 (next year I'll be the big 3-0) We had a family get-together (and we all loved it!) Thanksgiving, and... I MOVED BACK TO SALT LAKE!I live in a house with Tammy and her family. We found a nice house in Salt Lake where I have the downstairs and the family has the

I have never really looked forward to conference. When I was in primary, they would always give us the conference BINGO and we had M&M's and I would enjoy the M&M's more then playing the game. I never understood conference. After so much has gone in my life over the past month, I was really looking forward toconference. So much that I got up right before conference and I took my blanket

The past week has been a lot easier going to work. I can't remember the last time it was this easy going to work. When I was with Mike, he always tried to convince me to take time off. I didn't like to take time off, but I also wanted to spend time with him. It made me feel like our roles were turned and I should be more of the one staying at home and he needed to be the one off working. But I

When I think back to 9/11, I can remember the day so vividly. I can remember the smell, the feel of the air... I was in my first year at Snow College I was living with one of my best friends, Alissa Jacobson. That Tuesday morning, I got up and was going to my Microbiology lab. I want to say it was the first one of the school semester. The class started at 7, so nothing happened before class. When

A lot has happened the past week for me in my life. I never thought I would have had to go through this all over again, but I do. I was so happy with Mike (or so I thought) and we were fine (or so I thought). Last Tuesday while I was at work, I got the most random email from him. I just got done talking to him and he was fine. He then emailed me and said that he was going back to his wife and

I started the summer out by doing Susan G Komen, Race for the Cure. This was the 2nd time I did it. I LOVE doing it!!! These are just some pictures I took with my camera. There were SOOOO many people there. Here are some facts I got from Susan G Komen SLC page on FB : Race For The Cure - By the numbers: Total Participants 16,096, Survivor Participants 1,040, top fundraising team Myriad’s BRAC

I have THE BEST parents! They have an amazing story on how they met and got married. I am so proud to have them as my parents. My parents are best friends. They are always together and I can actually say they really like to be around each other. My dad is so sweet to my mom. He will take her lunch every day at work and sit there and eat with her then he goes off to his second job. Growing up,

Well, the past few weeks haven't been all the great. I came down with a bad head cold. Mike came home with it and then I got it. I got it over the weekend last weekend (over the 24th of July weekend). I spent the holiday in the house trying to recover. On Tuesday, I was heading to work. Went to Jamba Juice and was driving on 1300 E by West Minster College. Jamba Juice has a problem with their

In 2 months of time, I got 2 nephews. Grayson and Isaac. Isaac came into our family from adoption. He is SO cute! Barrett and Chantel have been waiting for so long and he finally came May 1 weighing a big 5 lbs! Grayson came July 12 to Nancy and Dallas and he was 6 lbs.Congrats to all

I just thought I would post really quick and tell my brother Barrett happy birthday. I am so proud of you! You are officially done with school and you are a doctor. I couldn't be more proud (don't mean I officially fully trust you:) ) You have 3 adorable 3 kids and I can't wait to be able to get to know Isaac and be part of his life. I am just so happy that you guys are moving back. I am a proud

Today has been bittersweet. It has been a day that I have been dreading for a while. A man who has always been there for my family passed away. He has been our family home teacher since as long as I can remember. He was one of the most spiritual men I know, President Law. The only times he ever missed doing his visiting teaching was when him and Sister Law were on their full time missions for the

I have so much I wanna say but I don't know how to put into words. This weekend is Mother's Day. Just like last year, I did the Susan G Komen 5K Race for the Cure. It is AMAZING to do this! This year I didn't make it on time for our team photo but that's ok, a lot of people didn't. Parking is awful downtown! They estimated over 17,000 people who did the race.

Saturday I was able to open the windows at my little apartment and let the fresh air come in, it was SO nice (75 degrees)Last week, I got another boil. I dont know why I am getting these.

What a week! Last Saturday I went to the local Instacare thinking I had an ear infection, the dr said I had a viral infection. It was still hurting pretty bad on Tuesday. So I thought I would go to the clinic by my work. I also needed to go to the Dr because I had another outbreak of a boil. This one is on my neck (3rd one since November, all in different places) The Dr was GREAT! Sure enough,

You and Morgan are such good friends. I love how you would run around on Christmas morning and look at me with your hands as an "X" and say "NO MORE KISSIES!" and get closer and closer to me, and would LAUGH so hard when I would grab to

I can't believe a year has passed since Grandpa has passed.It was actually yesterday (Saturday). So many emotions came back. I remember that dreaded call I got from dad, I didn't believe what he said, I had him repeat it a few times and I finally broke down and just bawled at my desk. I left work early because I just wanted my mom. I had called Mitch, we decided that we would travel together. We

The past year, I have been so amazed at so much you have become independent. You have started to take your medicine by yourself and now you are going to school.

I got a call in the middle of the night by my dad to get up to SLC, Nancy was having a baby. I got woke up, and I thought I had slept thru 3 months! Until realization hit, and it was only September. My sweet roommates drove me up and sat with me at the U of U hospital, we weren't sure

We would sing this campfire song every year on the weekend of the 4th of July when we were up camping at Indian Creek with the Olsen/Peacock/Ware family. Everytime I think of this song, I think of Uncle Jim. :) When I took the pictures of Potter's Pond, it makes me just LOVE the mountains and where I grew up!I love the mountains. I love the rolling hills.

That afternoon I went down to their house and played with Tyler. We had so much fun. Tyler laughed and had so much fun watching me and Nancy bump the volleyball to each other.

You are such a good example to me and I don't know how I was able to get such a smart brother.

I know the day is almost over but that's ok. I just want to leave a message and tell the Fathers in my family HAPPY FATHERS DAY! I have the most amazing Dad. My dad will do anything for us. He is so hard working, I have even had to tell him it's ok NOT to work (when he had knee surgery and the dr had to order him NOT to work).

Kayden was born with Hypoplastic Kidney Disease. His kidneys stopped growing in utero. Right after he turned 2, he was given the best gift someone could ever give him. A second chance of life! A family who had just lost their loved one decided to donate the organs. Kayden was able to receive one of those organs and it was the kidney. On Nov.14 2006 he underwent a kidney transplant.This past

I am not a big fan of this day. I love my mom and sisters, it's just hard when it is dedicated to all mothers and I am not a mother. I want children SOO bad!I have an amazing mom who is there for me whenever I need her. And I have 3 amazing sisters who I don't know what I would do without them. They have brought 6 of the most precious gifts into my life, each one a little different. I was getting

Yes, it is ANOTHER birthday! This time it is moms. That's why I had to let Dad get all the glory of a birthday for a full day before Mom got the glory of a full day of a birthday! Mom is always there for me. I know sometimes when I call, I will be on a "can I talk to dad" kick. And mom will say yes. I hope she doesn't take any offense. But she knows that then there are those times that I will be

Yes, it's time for another birthday! I am posting this now so it can be up for a full day for his birthday before we have ANOTHER birthday! I just want to tell my Dad happy birthday. I love you dad. You are wonderful. You are a great support to me and the rest of the family. Growing up, you always did whatever needed to be done to make sure we got what we needed/wanted. You worked so hard and you

I can't believe she is 10! She is such a big help to all of us. She is growing up to be a beautiful young lady. I am so glad I have had the chance to spend a lot of time with her since they live so close. I even got a phone call from her a few weeks ago, she needed my help to open a can of peaches because she couldn't get the electric can opener to work. I'm so glad she knew she can always call

Happy birthday Chantel! I hope you have a great day! I'm glad you're in the family and you make my brother so happy. Thanks for being there for me when I need someone to talk to, it really means a lot. You seem to "get it" since you're the youngest in your family :) Hope you do something fun! Happy Birthday!

I was told by Nancy I needed to update my blog.. So I made a much needed background change! :) Nothing new has gone on, just work. It is end of the quarter push, so that means... MANDATORY OVERTIME! I will be going in to work tomorrow and not sure exactly how long I will be working, I told by boss at least a minimum of 3 hours. So, we'll see how that works out for me :) Glad next week is only a 4

Today is Grandpa Rue's birthday. He would have been 79. It is the "first" birthday since he has passed. Every year since I have been on my own I have called him to tell him Happy Birthday. I would wait for him to pick up that phone and hear him say "Oh my stars!" and then when I would tell him Happy Birthday, he would say "how did you know it was my birthday" even though it seems we all knew it

But I did it and I LOVED it!Nancy and Tammy invited me down to Nancy's house for my birthday and we had a little party there with the kids and I did my vinyl and the kids carved pumpkins and Lexi even did her own vinyl.I did 2 vinyl's for 2 of my

Well, last week was not fun at all. I had pink eye, sinus infection, broken tooth.. it was not fun! Saturday had lunch with the Ware girls at Macaroni Grill in Provo. That is always fun. We had a good meal and good company. We sat there for a few hours and talked and laughed. Next time, I will NOT allow the dessert to be passed by me and the bread to be pulled away from me..

I went and saw Avatar in 3D at the IMAX theater at Jordan Commons. It was amazing. It was a long movie, but the effects were very good. I don't know if i could see it as a regular movie after seeing it on 3D. It was 3 hours long, my butt and back could feel that it was getting long.Saturday I woke up and I felt miserable. I had the worst bodyaches and headache. My nose and throat were starting

Everything at work has been good. I go to my Neurologist on Tuesday for a checkup. I have been out of my meds for about a week. I take migraine preventative pills. And once I ran out, they wouldn't refill them until I come in to meet with the dr again. I can see how much those pills make my head feel so much better. Having a migraine every day for the past week has not been fun.Other then that,

I have set up the other blog for the family. I am just needing the email addresses to add to the account. I set up a blog for my family to write memories of Grandpa so we can keep his legacy going. I hope the family takes me up on the challenge and does participate with the blog. I think it will be fun to keep up on the family blog.

It is a new year and a new beginning for me.I moved into a new apartment middle of December. It is a one 1 bedroom apartment, just for me. I am loving it! It is nice knowing that the mess I am cleaning up is MY mess. I found a really nice deal on this apartment and I couldn't pass it up and it just seemed right to move at the time. I looked at the place on a Friday night, thought and prayed about

What an eventful December I've had. I am posting this a day early because I want to make sure it is up for his birthday.Barrett and his family were able to fly in for Grandpa's funeral last week and they flew back to Kansas City today. When me and Dad picked them up from the airport, Max told us how he had his birthday at Miss Kaffee's. Chantel said that Max has said he's already had his birthday

As the Christmas season is here, I look back and think of everything that has happened this year. Especially over the past month and the events that have happened.This past Friday, my Grandpa Rue passed away. I got the phone call at work and it totally took me by surprise. I was soon surrounded by my coworkers showing their love and support. I knew I had to be with my family at that time. I left

Mom and Dad decided to come up and eat with us. Barrett and Chantel flew in Wednesday. The Little America buffet was excellent. We had to get in line around 9:30.

Kayden is turning 5! I remember getting the call from Tammy saying she drove herself to the hospital and she was in labor. I just sit back and think that it has only been 5 years but then also I think wow, it has been 5 years. So many things have gone on in the 5 years of this little boys life. When he was 2 weeks old they diagnosed him with Hypoplastic kidneys (small kidneys). His kidneys

Ever since Koy was little, he would always lay down by me and take a nap. We would cuddle up together. That's how he got his nickname from me as my little "NUGGLE MUFFIN" If you ask him, he will tell you that he is Nicky's Nuggle muffin. well, it is his birthday tomorrow.

This year, seeing my neices and nephews love the gift that I get them for their birthday makes me so happy! This is the picture I got of Tyler with his teddy bear that I made from Build-A-Bear. Nancy was singing "me and my teddy getting all ready" and Tyler started making his bear dance. It was so cute! He would sit there and give his bear loves. Seeing them love their bear makes it so worth it.

I am so glad that you live closer now!I remember getting the call late Sept 20,2005. It was my dad telling me that Nancy was having a baby! I didn't believe it, it wasn't December yet. I even had to ask him what day it was. He kept telling me that the baby was coming early and

That's right... Growing up, the first week of school always meant more family birthdays. We always had a family birthday party for Nancy, Todd, Grandma Olsen and we never forgot to remember Grandma Nell. This year, the Olsen family is having their family reunion this weekend but I am not able to go down. I am going on a much needed vacation down to Nancy's. Not sure if helping them move is what

That is the hard lesson I have had to learn this week. It all happened when I put my guard down and thought "friends" can be trusted, well that isn't true. Once again, I now have anxiety issues and trust issues. This past Tuesday night, I had friends over helping me move my broken tv downstairs and this friend of a friend (who I welcomed into my home) went into my purse and got my bank

I know this is late but I want to tell my parents Happy Anniversary. I called them on their anniversary and told them so I didn't forget. They have been married for 32 years! They are such a good example of what a marriage should be. They are best friends and such a good support to each other. I don't know how they have put up with each other for that long :) I'm glad you guys were able to go out

Happy Birthday Barrett! Nancy posted some memories that she has of you. But that's not the memory that I have of you. I remember sharing a room with you with our AWESOME wallpaper! Or fighting every Sunday of what show we were going to watch and we almost always had golf going on 1 tv in the house. We could watch tv after church but we had to change our clothes first.

I hope that everyone knows that! :) My dad would give up anything for his kids and people know that. My parents brought up the blue truck for me on Friday because we had to take my car back in to the shop yesterday.

The plans of Memorial Day Weekend didn't end up going like they were planned. I worked Friday night and traffic going south Friday night is always A-W-F-U-L! So, I decided to just get some sleep and get up Saturday morning and head home. Traffic down the canyon wasn't bad at all. I made it down to OV around 10:30, stopped at mom and dads to make the potty break then headed up to Joe's Valley. We

Happy Birthday to my little Morgan! I can't believe she is 5 today! She is growing up so much. Morgan, you make me so happy when I am able to talk to you on the phone. Your sweet little voice is so cute. I miss you so much! I hope you like your birthday present. It is in the mail! I made it just for you! 5 years ago you were born and you made your mom and dad so happy because they wanted a baby

First I want to start out by saying Happy Mothers Day to my own Mother. There aren't words to express how much I love her and how much she means to me. You have always been there for me. Here are somethings about my mom on why I love her so much:*Always there for me, even when I thought I didn't need her*Takes care of when I've had my surgeries.*She is a great listener and a great mom.*Her and

I had no pictures of you without a child! :) I have a good one of you after you just had Kayden, be glad I didn't post that one! :) I hope you have a good birthday. I want you to know that I think you doing the best you can for the kids. You are my oldest sister, I have to give you crap! You're a 2nd mom to me! :)

I am going to DOUBLE POST... :)Happy Birthday DAD tomorrow (May 4) You have always been there for me no matter what. you are such a good example of everything that I want in a husband. You do so much for mom. You are such a great dad, husband, friend and grandpa. I look at what you have done for the family over the years and I don't know how you do it!

I am so glad that I have had the chance to spend so much time with you lately. You are such a big help to me! I hope you had a good day. You were so happy because you didn't have testing today.

If you can't tell who he is, he's the one with the kids sitting on his lap with the bald head! :)"PaPa Rue" was taken to UVRMC by ambulance early this morning for Congestive Heart Failure My dad said he hasn't been out of been for a few days. I am guessing he might be going to the ICU, but I don't know. My Grandpa Rue is well known in Emery County. He grew up in Orangeville and he married Nellie

All I can say is I love my new job!!! It is different, but it is a good different. It has been a big change to actually get my full 40 hours in a week. I am so glad that this opportunity was given to me, I don't think I would have ever done it if it wasn't presented to me.I found this quote and I wanted to share it..Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of.

I know it has a been awhile since I wrote last. What a rollercoaster I have been on! Just last week, I went from being REALLY REALLY high one day to REALLY REALLY low the next. I did a lot of crying, but I took care of it. If it wasn't for a lot of great friends (and wonderful family to talk to), it would've been a lot harder! I did get a great experience that I never thought would come... I got

The day FINALLY came! Me and Tammy got to go see Celine Dion at the EnergySolutions Arena on Sunday. The concert was originally set back in November but they had to postpone it because Celine Dion got sick. Our seats were WAAAAY up in the nosebleed section but it was worth it! She puts on an AMAZING concert! I am so glad I got to go with Tammy. She is such a huge Celine Dion fan. I went and

This handsome lil man needed to go into emergency surgery last night. His shunt had broke off and needed to be replaced... again... Surgery went well but please keep him in your prayers!

What a week of emotion! I am not going to get into details about it because everyone that needs to know already knows. But I have learned a lot! I have learned that I am not going to be a doormat to step on anymore and that is EXACTLY how I feel at the moment and I know that is not how it was meant to make me feel. I was put under a lot of stress and it caused me to have my bad migraines again

I have made some new years resolutions but I don't know if I want to put them up on here yet because I just think..

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone had a good christmas! I was not able to go home to Orangeville for Christmas. I had to work yesterday (FedEx delivers on Christmas so I was still working) so I stayed up in Salt Lake and due to the weather, I didn't want to risk anything. FedEx was soooo slow yesterday that we did nothing at work until they delivered at 1 yesterday so we started working at about 1

"I'm going to tell you one more time. Sing anything you want. White Christmas, Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. But no more Jingle Bells!"Last year, I got this movie for Christmas from Barrett and Chantel. They were WONDERFUL and got it copied to DVD for me. I have watched it a few times this season already! This movie is sooo old, I don't know if very many people know about it.

It is sooo cold outside! Yesterday a big storm made it into the SLC valley. I sat there at my desk at work and watched it roll in. The snow came down and it didn't seem to let up ALL day! We would watch out the window at the cars going down the road and they would just slide. One car actually slid into a parked car because it was turning into ice. I was so worried about driving home.

It is officially looking like Christmas outside! This morning I woke up to wind blowing like crazy. I climbed back in my bed for a little more sleep. Woke up at 9 and it was SNOWING!! The weather forecasters said there was a storm coming and they were right. It has been snowing pretty much all day. We had our Christmas Party at Myriad yesterday. HR makes Breakfast (YUM!)

Everybody has traditions with every holiday. I want to know what Christmas Traditions people have. As you get older, those traditions change and when you get married, traditions merge and you make your own traditions with your new family. We always put our christmas tree up the weekend after Thanksgiving. The tree was lit with colorful lights and had ornaments from my moms students from over the

3 years ago today, I got one of the greatest surprises! I tried to go up to LDS and PCMC as often as I could to see Baby Ty. It was so hard for me to go and not be able to hold him so I would just sit there with my hand in his little incubator and hold his hand and I would talk to him. For a while, we couldn't rub him because it COULD rub his precious skin off. Well, on Nov 10, 2005 I met Nancy

I am so proud of my mom! She is so good at her handwork. She is ALWAYS doing crocheting. I remember growing up and always helping roll the yarn into balls for her. Traveling, she takes her crocheting with her just to keep her hands busy. She does an AMAZING job at it. She makes afghans and more afghans :) Everyone in the family who has been married (all the cousins) knows that their wedding gift

Happy Birthday lil man! I can't believe you are 4. You have had to go through so much in your life and you are my hero. Kayden has always been my lil buddy.

He ended up getting a kidney transplant 1 month after his 2 year birthday. I love how he loves to ask for

Happy Birthday to my big boy Koy! The youngest of the Labrum clan is 2! What can I say about Koy?!? He has always been my little shadow since I can remember.
