Then this past week, i was able to get tickets  ((((awesome up close)))) to see my favorite band preform. and when i say my favorite....i mean it!  i have loved this band from the start and and when i heard that they were coming to my area for a concert...I did everything i could to get tickets (the event was sold out within days) for me and my little cousin Hailey who just happens to love them as much as me. the fray. THE FRAY!!!

in case you didnt read that right.....THE FRAY! that's right, me and hailey were rocking out to the fray on december 11th and making are selves hoarse. the night was fantastic! alive! i shall always hold that night close. isn't it something that you can say you've had to big things accomplished in a year?!

Two BIG Important ANNOUCEMENTS

First. This amazing Lovely lady is getting married!!! !!! Ashlee is such a dear friend, and one that used to live in my ward. I'm very proud of the fact that we have stayed in touch and visited through the years. I ADORE her parents and her mom was my last YW president whom I became very close too and if it wasn't for the fact that her brother is a huge love/hate thorn to my side {another story for another time, ask me about Adam-woe woe is me}...I'd marry him and become a sisterinlaw! Anywho, with that said.....

I'M COMING TO SALT LAKE CITY UTAH IN MAY!

I fly in Saturday, May 15th and will be in till the following Monday, May 24th! My place is all booked and I am for sure COMING! Ashlee would kill me other wise! The wedding is May 22nd at the Salt Lake Temple and I'm SO excited. So, if your around the Salt Lake area, I would love to see you! And if you so happen to know of REALLY good looking single men who would like to take me out on a date...Please fill free to set me up LOLOL. See ya soon Utah, I'm off to go search J. Crew for something fabulous to wear!

Carnival Weekend

"There's a CARNIVAL TIERRA! ! !" said to me by a VERY enthusiastic 6 yrs.old.
In which a smarty pants Aunt Tierra replied "Really? NO WAY MAN! Are you SURE?"
Followed by a very loud Angelus "YESSSS! ! ! It's HUGE! ! !"

I realized that I very rarely blog about my nephew. Shame on me. But, this little guy stole my heart from day one,

4 hours in the beginning.

{giggling} I see him everyday.
*Cough-cough* he's a stud. Srsly.

So, Saturday night we made the BIG move and went. A GREAT kickoff for the summer. Now, carnival people give me the freaks and the trailer- yucky- looking people that come out of the woodwork BUT we all had a wonderful time. Looking at all those big-high- rides I used to ride back in the teen years made my stomach sick! So, I just watched Angelus have fun and take pics!
In which he would promptly tell me "STOP takin pictures, I'm trying to be BRAVE! ! !"

if he went on a high high ride by himself. LOL.

We had cotton candy, candy apples, and used lots of hand sanitizer :) Enjoy the pics. Chow

PS. Angelus won a Stuffed animal Cow playing the fish pool game. After which he promptly came up to me and said "Here Tierra. I won this just for you." Bless his heart. I LOVE this kid!

PSS. I know every one has already said something on there blog about this,
So here goes mine.
NEW MOON BABY. NEW MOON! ! ! MTV awards...SCREAMED all night like a freakin 16 yr. old. The movie trailer.... DONT EVEN get me started! I've watched it like a BILLION times.

Baby Shower Bring May Flowers???

This Saturday was our first beautiful, bright, & sunny day. It was just so lovely that it did wonders for the soul. Truly. So, what better way then to celebrate with a baby shower, right? My best friend Jenny S. is having her first baby. A little boy to be named Jackson. Jenny and I have had so many late night phone calls, dreaming away the time when we would become mothers. With each new birth and a new baby to cuddle and make giggle at church, i count myself very blessed to be a woman and be able to "hopefully" be a mother of my own someday. Babies are such a blessing. They have the most purest sweet souls that they just smell heaven sent. Well, not all the time...lol and i love it when we can wel-come a new one in. So, as to actually getting back into blogging, enjoy the pictures from this Saturday at Jenny-loo's {nickname for her from me} first baby shower with a real preggo bump :)

Wedding Reception

Over the span of the last two year my months filled up with lot's wedding receptions to attend. Sometimes I wonder if my boss thinks I'm just lie-ing to get a day off! Hah! What a joke, my memory box is full of wedding invitations and so with the New year it kicked off with yet ANOTHER wedding reception to attend to. Now, don't get me wrong...I LOVE going to wedding receptions. Yep, LOVE IT! I guess you could say I'm kinda like that girl from 27 dresses who actually "likes" going to them. As for me being a bridesmaid, the count is up to four. Four dresses in a spare closet LOL. At least I caught the bouquet at the last one! Any who, so last night-- Friday, I again took the day off and went to a friend of mine-- whom I've known all through my YW years at church--wedding reception. I went with Kristy, Amber, my Aunt Carolyn, and of course baby Levi.

The reception was at the beautiful Carnegie Hotel and it's simply stunning with all the dark woods in the Ballroom with giant pillars. The Men's lounge which was right off the side door, was where the buffet was at. The whole hotel is done in the style of the titanic ballroom. Loved it! The brides family did a wonderful job because everything was lovely. The food was great. The company was terrific. And best of all...the bathrooms in which we all thought was just super LOL We all took turns going to the bathroom where each stall had its own private door and when you washed your hands, you received a towel instead of a napkin! I think we can safely say we gave the bathroom 5 stars!

Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures with the Bride & Groom! Between us three girls getting a kick out of discussing the wedding-ness of it all and slightly maybe gossiping...Ok probably that was all ME BUT we had a great time and I did mange to avoid the dreaded bouquet toss by hiding behind a large pillar--true story--.

Back in the Saddle

I'm back Every one!

"Halle Freakin lujah" !!!!

Let's all say it again one more time

"Halle Freakin Lujah"

Today my new favorite man came and restored my sanity! I told him I might love him! LOL Ok, maybe i didn't but i was thinking it! Wow! Just Wow! I cant believe I'm sitting in my own home at my own desk, on my OWN computer with the Internet! Go Tierra, Go Tierra, it's your birthday...We gonna party like it's your birthday!

Ok, so here's the drill everyone...I have so much to catch up on and so many post ideas I have no clue where to start. Plus, today I have lot's to do with the fact of Christmas being just around the corner. So, I'm slightly panicky on what to do first. AWwWwWw!

Breathe...Breathe...Just Breathe. Alright, the plan... Tonight I will work really hard on my next post. Please, all bare with me. I would really like to get to every ones post that I have dearly missed and make a comment but I might hold off for alittle while because I just don't know where to start. Plus, holy goodness all the Twilight news I have missed....Has been breaking my heart these last 15 days {Tears} That right there could take me at least two days to review.

On that thought...See ya lata...
