Blogger Party Poopers!

Well, here lately I have been relentlessly trying to get my friends and family to blog as well. So, to "maybe" put alittle edge to them...I'm going to blog about them.

First, my little cousin Carrie & boyfriend Sergei

Don't they look like a cute couple you would like to read about? Carrie is so cute. She bakes more then I do and loves to decorate. I would love to see what Carrie's opinions and blogging finds would be! As for Sergei... Well, will mainly keep up w/ him on how often he needs a hair cut! So Carrie PLEASE BLOG!!! Oh and read Twilight so I can die a happy woman!!!

Next up is my best friend Jenny and her soon to be hubby Justin.

Jenny is getting married and so we are trying to plan and organize things well. But, I'm dying for my best friend to join the band wagon! It took me a whole year just to get her to do a Facebook account so I think for me she should just save her self a year of begging and give in
{Cause you know I will wear you down} and do it NOW! As soon as Id set up her facebook account she just took off! So she can't give me this "I don't know how" stuff cause clearly-- Jen if you can handle facebook, you can handle a blog!
Alright, I'm done preaching for the day....BUT I will win on this!!!

Addicted

I have a confession to make. I'm addicted to shoes! ........Like you didn't already know that! But, seriously it's true. I 'm a huge believer that you can never have to many and so when it came for an Easter gift this year from my aunt Carolyn these little babies was all I wanted! I wore the heels to church on Sunday with my Easter outfit! And I'm so excited for spring. The sun is out and there are blooms on our tulip trees and my feet are ready for sandals and flip flops! I fell in love w/ these sandals at Belk a few weeks ago and so my aunt got me both heels from Target and these Sandals from Belk for Easter! OOO The love of a Women & her Shoes ~

Mr. Shope

Yesterday, I took my Nephew to the park for some pictures. It was a beautiful day and the air smelled like the fresh beginnings of spring! Angelus is my little stud and I adore taking his picture. If only he felt the same. He hates his picture to be taken and so I had to resort to bribery--I know, shame on me!-- He's not a smiler in photos, Hasn't really master just a plain simple smile so when ever you say smile, he looks like his eyes are about to pop out! So in most of the shots he's got this "Way serious" look on his face. But he's just SO darn good looking! Oh and he's only 5 years old and he's already 4'3 in height! Happy Looking ~

Irish Charm


"If your lucky enough to be Irish, Then your lucky enough"
Today is St. Patricks Day and I love this day for three reasons.
1. You HAVE to wear green and green is one of my very favorite colors. When you look in my closet, over half the items are green.
2. Believe it or not but I am some irish from my mothers side and Her family name is Patrick.
And finally 3. I have this dream or goal whatever you wanna call it but I would give ANYTHING to be married on St. Patricks Day! Every girl always dreams of the perfect wedding and for me I've never wanted to pick just some random day to get married on
{NO I'm not getting married anytime soon--I wish}
And you never really here of people getting married on St.Patricks day. It's suppose to be the luckiest day of the year, right? I have this all planned and figured out. From Decor to wedding colors and flower arrangements. Now if I could just get a groom I'd be all set! March 17th WILL be my wedding date! The year, Who knows but for now I keep myself busy planning Jen's wedding and I'm having so much fun!
I hope every one had a very Happy St. Patricks day and wore green! It was so pretty outside today that I took my nephew to the park and took some pictures of him. There coming next so look out for my next blog entitled "My Stud"

EW

EW- Was the word said at the beginning of my Sunday school class today! I have never laughed so hard at church before. As you all know from previous post that I teach the 12-13 yr. old Sunday school class and for this year I only have boys. Well, today one of the little guys decided to bring a treat for his buddies and share w/ me. He was out shopping yesterday and came a cross a box of beef jerky bites--pepperoni flavor and when they all came in I was getting things organized and they all set eating there jerky bites.
THEN
{here it comes folks, I promise this will make ya laugh} One of the guys stood up and said "Dude...Does that say Puppy Grain at the top?" They all stop eating immediately and looked at the box and found out that it was "Puppy Grain Beef Jerky Bites for Puppies" Next thing I new I had 4 little guys covering their mouths, running out the door and screaming "EW" ! ! !
I swear, I couldn't stop laughing at the poor little guys! It was the funniest thing I've ever seen, my sweet little class Had just ate over half of their packets of DOG beef jerky bites! Lucky me I hadn't opened my pack yet! I think next week as a treat from me, I 'll go buy the little guys "REAL" beef jerky Bites!

American Idol

My new favorite find comes from American Idol. Her name is Brook White and I just LUV LUV her voice. In my opinion she doesn't have this high note voice that we have seen so many times on American Idol but this soulful rustic voice and I just heart it! I listened to her sing these songs over and over while cleaning my kitchen today and thought I would share. Happy Listening. --Oh and she's LDS --luv her even more!

August Rush



August Rush is my "Right Now" Recommend movie! My best friend Jen and me went and saw it in the theater and We just fell in love with it! The first cover is in some weird language have NO clue on but it shows all three main characters. The second cover is the USA cover! It's now out on DVD and I came THIS close to buying it but since my shopping splurge this weekend, I put it off BUT it will be in my DVD collection.
I don't want to spoil it but pretty much it's about this young little guy who has always known his parents never meant to put him up for adoption. He has this HUGE talent to hear the music in everything or in other words, the different sounds things make. His parents who are both musical genies, were torn apart from each other and their son. Now it's up to all of them to listen to the music and let their hearts to come together again. It's a MUST MUST see and will teach you to hear the music in your life and have faith that if you only just believe, anything is possible.

If I was a Teenager AGAIN

Alright, I saw this on someone Else's blog who I don't know--Yes..It's called Blog-stalking--This is suppose to be a tag but I thought I would just answer the questions and give ya a laugh at my answers. This is a Tag about "If you could be a teenager again, What would you tell yourself" So here goes ~

1 - If you could go back and tell your teenage self one thing, what would it be?
First I would go back to the day that probably would have changed my entire High school career.
It was auditions for the cheer leading squad at Tennessee High School and I was at chorus rehearsals in Junior High. All my life I grew up dreaming of being a TN High Cheerleader and for some reason that day I thought nothing of it and decided to wait until next year. I had been cheerleader my whole life growing up in school and if I had went that day I probably would have made it and would have stayed in High School and not have gone on homeschooling to pursue music lessons during the day instead. Oh and I would have told my self that falling in love w/ missionaries is a waste of time!

2 - What extracurricular activities did you do in high school? Again my high school career was staying at home --home schooled-- and going to music lessons. So I would totally redo the whole choice thing again and go to high school.

3 - What's the coolest thing you did as a teenager? Well first the coolest thing in my mind would definitely be when I got to sing the Titanic love song "My Heart Will Go On" at the end of my 8th grade concert. I was last and {this might sound vain but its the truth and there's a video to prove it} I blew the house down and got a standing ovation and for weeks people would come up to me and tell me how good I did. I thought I was such the stuff! Second, this maybe is not the "coolest" put it sure was fun. I use to T-pee missionary houses and cars w/ girlfriends. And I don't mean just lightly toilet papering there trees. We took this seriously and all I can say is "Ask me my tricks and I might tell ya the tale! LOL"

4 - What's the dumbest thing you did as a teenager? Having endless crushes on missionaries from my church!

5- Did you have any serious relationships as a teenagers? If you did, tell why it did or did not work out. Would you call having a die-hard love w/ N'SYNC a relationship???? J/k

6 - When you think about your teenage years, what songs come to mind? Early years N"SYNC was all I cared about but through the latter years 16-18 it would be Jessica Simpson, GreenDay, Shania, etc...

7 - What's the funnest date you went on in high school? This really wasn't funny but looking back I think it's funny. I went to the movies and saw Runaway Bride w/ this boy who I had the biggest crush on and my aunt was there w/ Friends-sitting somewhere else--But I found out through friends from school that he turned Gay later on in High School.
8 - If you could change one thing about your teenage years, what would it be?
See question # 1 & the answer. I will ALWAYS regret not making my self go that day to auditions. After all those years I had spent and didn't go. I know alot of people make fun of cheerleaders but I have always been a girlie girl and loved it! Everything about a cheerleader. Auditions was after that final chorus concert and looking back I think i was riding the wave of being great in chorus and I was in chorus practice that day and i just thought that chorus would be much better.
9 - What did you think you would grow up and become when you were a teenager? A singer! Now music is still a passion and music simply allows me to breath through the day. I'm always singing in my kitchen or car or the elevators at work-don't laugh--But I would never audition for American Idol cause it's not meant to be in the Tierra as an adult.

10 - Post a picture of yourself as a teenager

Shopping, Freezing, & more Shopping!

It's so wonderful to have a FULL weekend off! I work at the hospital here in Bristol and when I first started working it seemed impossible to get even just a Saturday off! Now that I've been there over a year an half, I finally get every other weekend off! But for the last month or so something has always came up an I either would have to go in on a Sat. off or a Sunday! The good thing about my work is that even if I do have to work on a Sunday, I don't go in till 4 in the afternoon so I can still go to church and attend all meetings but I never get to take that wonderful Sunday Knapp! Anyway, today I woke up and the first thing I wanted to do was of course--Shop! So Carolyn and me started at Target, then to Old Navy etc! Plus, it's FREEZING FREEZING here in Tennessee and Let me tell ya I live to shop!
It's even better when you have money!


Now, note to future husband: "Honey I am extremely sorry for spending money on more purses, shoes, clothes, make up etc BUT I hope you realize that in return, you have one VERY stylish wife who always looks great! Yes, I know I have at least 50 pairs of shoes and purses hanging all over my closet and YES I know I have a horrible money spending habit BUT know that I am VERY conscience of this an that I always "try" to be good! I have full hope/faith that slowly but surely you will come to help/restrain myself when necessary but just warning you now....A} I did say I was sorry B} I'm honest and C} I still look great! "


Well, when ever the time comes for me to get married at least my future husband knows I'm already thinking of him LOL Anyway after Old Navy we went to Red Lobster where I ate my heart out! ! ! Then on too the Mall where I got this fabulous pair of shoes I will show off at church tomorrow! My Aunt Carolyn, I just love her! I drag along every where and she never complains! I had a wonderful day today with the most sincere loving person I know and I love her unconditionally with all my heart! I can't believe all the things she puts up w/ me!

This weeks Finds!


My life really is quiet boring these days, So to make it fun I go browsing through stores after work! Don't ya just love Target! I get paid this week and OOH this purse just called to me! It will be my next "baby" and then I had to go see the shoe section and Yes, these shoes look alittle not like me but let me tell you when I put them on....They too will be joining my shoe family in the closet!







Then after Target it was on to Books . A. Million! I just heart this place! After I get off of work it's still open cause they don't close till 11:30!!! That just thrills me! I make a stop about 2 times a week!I can spend at least 2 hours browsing and love every minute of it! There are two smells I just love 1-Fresh cut lemons and 2-A Bookstore! For those who don't know me well---Most of my paychecks get spent in here!


Monday was my day off and It was just a lovely beautiful day! The sun was shining and it actually was in the 60's! I was able to get some cleaning done and then I got all dressed up to go out to dinner and then to a movie w/ friends! I love the moive theater! If I wouldnt feel like a loser I would probably go by my self sometime just to see the movies I want to see! I have a rule when it comes to my movies chocies! If it dosent have a love interest in it..I won't see it!!! That's final! So when I saw the preview for "Definitely Maybe" I was so ready to see! To be honest it wasnt the greatest! I liked it though but I thought it was alittle boring in some parts and dragged out but in the end it was worth seeing just to go to the movies and go out w/ friends! Plus I'm a sucker for the daddy/daughter stories! So In my opinion if there's nothin else that interest you then go see it but I would probably wait until it comes out on video

Sister Tyhurst


She's going to kill me that I used this picture for this blog but this was the only one I could find!

This is another one of my bestest bestest! She is serving for my church on an 18 month mission in Argentina! I miss her SOOOOOO much! I received a letter today and so I decided to show some love, and blog about her.

We 've known each other since sunbean age in primary and there's not a moment growing up where she's not in it. I'm so excited for her to be coming home in August! The countdown begins!
