HI everyone and welcome to my home online... MY Blog. I basically haven't done too much just trying to getting a family Movie finished before I head home to New York with my Family. Since the Summer I have had few changes that have effected how I have been living my life now.

The Break-Up

well it had to happen, there's gonna be a break up in a relationship and ours had to end. Daniel and I did break up about when the Fall semester started.

It was the Hardest break up I have had and really a life ch

anging experience. For Thanksgiving my family was invited by Daniel's Family to spent it with them. It was a wonderful time, very thankful for knowing his family and spending the day with them. Since the turkey day, Daniel still lives in Idaho and very happy to be there. As for me my life started to change intensely.

I was able to

move up from a Collector to a

n Administrative Assistant at work. I was now one of the assistants for the Chair of the Collections Department and Accounting. It was a great move but not so hot in the income aspect. Since i was already in a posit

ion that was on very tight on budget it was very low pay for what I did. Once Thanksgiving rolled around my employer informed me that the department was no longer going to be in Orem and would be moving locations at the beinging of the year. We were going to be in a location further north and would not raise my wage for the commute. I knew the move would not be fitting for me and I would need to get my head screwed on straight and find a new job.

I first had to fix the problem of returning back to school and paying my past school debt by finding a new job in Utah, next transportation was no longer going to be provided and I would no longer have the car. Lastly I fell in love with Daniel while we dated and I wanted to be and relocate where he was. All the ideas I had were not coming together. Finally when I decide to move to New York it made more sense.

It was NOT an easy decision. I was confused for months and weeks about this decision. I didn't know

how, where and who I would meet out there to get my life back on track. It all came in pieces, at first the only thing that came to mind was leaving Utah. That's it, nothing else but just move out of here. Then knowing where I should move was the biggest step. Move but where to: Hawaii, Idaho and New York were my top three places. As time went by I was able to narrow it down on what I was looking for, what were my goals in the next 5 years.

My thoughts were: 1st goal is being at a 0$ balance with my past school tuition. Second Goal, not stressing on transportation. Third, dating again. Not just any "hot" guy, but having a relationship built of friendship and trust. I am EVEN picker and more Aggressive on letting any guy into my heart. The guy must want the gospel and show it by living their life already as an active member or being Temple worthy. It's no

t easy, but being active tells a lot about your character because they want it and not lowering their standards. With these goals in mind i started choosing my location and seeing if i felt good about it or even if it made sense.

I went toward finding a job in Idaho, and going were Daniel was. I started to look for housing, which was cheap but no luck finding my wage I was desiring. It was if I was in Utah but now with Daniel again, low income and no car. I couldn't base my decision on love and follow a guy. The next location was Hawaii, I had been to Hawaii and lived there but the dating was not going to improve, I was going to get guys that did not fit what I was looking for, surfer boy, not in school and not ready for life was not it. Finally New York, I was terrified. Mainly because I knew its not a cheap city, people are more crude and I had to be very very independent once again. It was not going to be easy at all. It did fit everything I was looking for, no transportation needed and most importantly my wage would pay off and work again with a satisfaction of getting paid what I deserved.

There were advantages to moving to New York too, I would be

with my Father who I never got to know, spend time with my cousins, brothers and my GRANDMOTHER. I felt time was ticking and I needed to spend a lo

t of time with her. Not only was my wage going up but for once I did not need to stress about getting a car. I could focus on my school debt and get it paid A LOT faster then expected being anywhere else. I have so little left that I am pretty happy to be living life and not a Heavy load is on me. The fact i could take small trips and everything is SO close was a huge plus. I have A.D.D. on staying in the same place and this would help me out too. Anything from Philly to Niagara Falls was all a train trip away :) After knowing this was it, I had decided my next step in life, I was No longer Confused and HAPPY again !

Hello World!! its been too long since I have used this Blog but time to talk some Gossip!


Since Winter time I have been working at Pinnacle Security the alarm company in thier accounting department doing billing. I really am not a Fan of my Job but what else can I do really with out a degree. I return to School in Fall August 2009 to Finish my Bachelors in Biology /Business so I may go to Dental school and become an ORthodontist and own my Practice.






I still live in Utah for now and since I have dated Daniel Cheney I have planned to stay here till i Graduate or transfer to new school in Hawaii (since i was accepted to thier schools) if he comes along... As of now I am living in ORem with my tiny mother he he, and Josh my third brother at Pinncale Canyon View . Even though I live in Orem and date Daniel who lives in Davis County its fun being with his family on weekends. Thats the furthest I travel for now ha ha.







I love my friends in Hawaii and want to return their and have a huge desire to go back, dont get me wrong I love to travel but as of now I stay put. MY goal is to finish schooling and dating Daniel.





I do have future plans for my self which is finishing my bachelors and Relocating to ITaLY, Milano area but cant really say anthing for sure, I am a type of person that I work for what I want and as for now its brain stroming idea of where to live, what job to get, and when to go to Italy. I started like that before going to Hawaii so I am pretty sure I would do the same with Relocating to EUrope. I see life to be a road of traveling and love the fact that we have a world to see but the fact I dont have a degree and make lots of money makes me SAD :( so i best hurray in getting it !!


my family is good, the only difference is:

Issac is Visiting Oregon and will be here in Utah next week

Ben is in Oregon w wife and two kids

Alma is in NEw york and was accepted back to Stanford and will be returning

Josh is in orem looking for a Job

Joe is in San Diego for AirForce summer trainging working w NASA and graduates next summer from BYU

Rebecca is dating Cheney and works and lives at Pinnacle.. ha ha but true

Bruce is in Salt lake and has Pilots as roommates and he is on his third year in college.

Mom is in ORem doing Geneology work in Salt Lake

Dad is in New yOrk still a brooker and Happy Fathers DAY ~!!

The car was broken into this week ;(

I cant believe thanksgiving is coming up soon! My favorite holiday is Christmas mainly because I get to give gifts to those I love.  This Christmas my family and I hope to be in the house that we just looked at and applied for.  Prices in Utah are very low for homes that are worth double. We are taking advantage of this and hope everything goes well. 

This week I worked my long hours at work. Basically from 5 A.M to 3 P.M is my schedule from Monday to Friday.  Shockingly I manege to do it and was not tired... :) sweet .  I was even able to hang out some nights with friends and work out. 

Dallin needed a place to stay  so I said he could at my place for a bit but then had to tell him to find somewhere else. Mainly because it is not my home and I do share my place with roommates. Well other then going through with kicking Dallin out and buying a home, my car (Bruce's car) got broken into on Friday morning . 

Everything was a mess , they took the stereo but sadly left the inside vendiliezed. The dashboard was taken out and was stuffed jammed in the glove compartment hole. The second I opened the door , first thing in my head was: the doors were probably not locked and who ever did it, had time to go through my back-back with papers and had plenty of time to go through the car . The driver door was locked but not the passenger door the passenger window was slightly cracked open. 

Well I was very upset first and then was sad and crying. Mainly because I had failed to keep Bruce's car safe and protected. I felt very very bad. First person I called was Dallin, asked him if he left the doors unlocked. My heart then asked me to call Joe my BYU brother who I knew would be awake at 5am. He comforted me and I was able to go to work. On my way to work I texted my close friend Derek. He was able to comfort me as well but also gave me some advice. By the time I was almost done with work I could not be there anymore, the fact that I was un-easy and needed to get home asap. I had Bruce come with me to my house and told him what had happened. He filled a police report and was ask some questions. 

Overall I had a lot on my plate but was able to have the spirit with me to help me and guide in these tough times. I am grateful for great friends and very, very grateful to have siblings who love me. As much as it sucks being robbed and losing that trust for everyone, you learn and prepare for much bigger experiences soon to come your way .

Derek IS HOme!!!

This weekend was way fun for me. Couple of drama but not too much. The biggest News is that my friend Derek Wallin Return from his Paris France Mission!! Way fun day on Friday night and Saturday Derek met my family and his friend came to have breakfast. The game was not as fun b/c of BYU fans... Im sorry Im not a fan of BYU People. Their too much in their bubble. I love the Gospel but not a fan of the students.

Now that Derek is home and Dallin is not moving to Florida it makes me happy. :) On Friday I had some time to go visit old co-workers from Strategic Staffing and good seeing them all. Dal and I then met up with Derek when he arrived to UTah and seeing him was so sweet!! We caught up for a little, I love hearing his French cause it's freakin sweet. I wasnt a fan of French but when him and Chris (his friend who came to the game with us) would speak it to each other , it was soo cooool!!! So for it was great seeing him and just hopefully all goes good with him. :)

I went on a date on Sunday with a guy that I had met over the week through my realitor. I didnt want to because Im not interested in other boys but did anyways. Ha ha well I wasnt planning to hang out with him all night but did. Opps... getting up in the morning at 5am was a beast.

Well Im still dating but not liking who I date, not clicking with any one, I work alot but enjoy hanging out with friends like Dallin and now that Derek is home, it should be way fun too.

Was Sick for Halloween but Thanksgiving will be here soon

Soon to be THANKSGIVING!!! oh boy time has passed by fast. I cant run as fast as time but I'm still able to meet my six miles in 45 mins.  This last week I was sick so was not able to run very much but I always get back in shape with in few days. I was not able to dress up for Halloween because of my cold that I had for few days but I was able to go to the FORmal BAll of AirForce at BYU for Joe and his friend this past weekend. It was incredible, lovely night, very organized. I enjoyed the event but for going back out with my date ...well not my type, as you all know I am very picky in how they look and act when it comes down to relationships with boys. 

Drama with boys was pretty interesting. Basically Utah is just a small state. You see Dallin asked me if I had ever hooked up with this certain guy he knew... well this certain guy was actually the guy who kissed that other girl in front of me.. remember that.  Funny thing is that this guy was told I was taken and had a boyfriend, and thats why he hooked up with the other girl.  After I explained that I never had a boyfriend since I have been back, the boy texted me a day later and wanted me to get back with him.... ha ha I laughed and said No way. He hurt me and I am over him. Long story short Im still single and hanging out with my friend Dallin.

Dallin will be moving to Florida soon, :( yes I know sad but Derek is now off his mission  from France so hopefully hang out with him.  His in Arizona with his Family now, and MAtt still has few more months left on his mission in Germany. Felix of course is married, so I don't hang out with him and  Chandler is back from Brazil but works many hours. 

This week is the big BYU vs San Diego football game and I should see Derek this weekend. I would love to hang out with Derek more mainly because I enjoy his company and is fun to be around. He and Matt have a certain sense of humor that I like, and his very chill. 

Almost time for HALLOwEEnIe

Ah its almost time for Halloweenie!!! What should I wear??? This year it has seriously harder to pick a costume then any other year. I first started with the idea of being wonder women, I found some costumes but was not satisfied. I basically came down to the idea of being girl Robin from Ba

tman and then an indian and then a HalloWEENie (a hot dog), but came down to the decision of not dressing up this year. I just want to chill, watch scary movies and eat chocolate :)... oh wait I did that last night. Ha ha never mind I guess I would have to dress up.

So last week I did my first full week at Strategic Staffing, it went ook. Before Hawaii I worked with them as an employment specialist and receptionist in the West Jordan location, but now in the the new Orem office. Honestly would rather work in the West Jordan. My co-workers there were so cool, I loved working with them all. Now I just go to work and not much happening.

During the week other then work I went to several haunted houses. Dallin and I went to the Haunted Forest with Kyle and Maddi, and like usual I didn't get scared. I also went to another haunted house in Tooele with few friends in Salt Lake, and to no surprise it wasn't scary either.

Last night a lot of drama happened to Dallin but to keep his mind off all the drama I came over and watched a movie with him. We chose a scary movie and ate Halloween candy, yum, yum. The movie was The Exorcism of Emily Rose and was not scary at all to me, but he thought it was. ha ha oh DaL.

Saturday Morning Julia & Blake had me do a photo shoot with them. It was pretty cool because we had to act as if we were co-workers in an office. Blake's dad had us be in a board room and just pretend to have a board meeting.. Blake of course was the boss of us, ha ha. The shoot was for his Dad's company so we were just there to help him out, but it was just fun overall.

well the week is not quite over so more would happen, but till then smile and live your life. :)

MY LIfe Back in UTah

I moved back to Orem, Utah and at first moved in at my mother's place for a bit. A month later I was in my own condo with two roommates.

My roommates and I, well all three of us get along very well and we are very much a like. Danielle is the oldest and tallest, she is from Utah County. She is a runner like myself but she is a lot more dedicated then I am. Not only does she run every morning rain or snow, but has ran Marathons for 10 years, and is a vegetarian &

vegan. Danielle works full time for a student housing apartment complex as the office

manager. Piper is my second roommate who is from

California and Chicago. She is a lot more chill on what she eats. She eats whatever, even drinks regular milk. Piper graduated from Utah Valley University. Currently works full time as a server in one of the top restaurants in Orem. Myself, I'm the shortest and youngest, I'm in the middle, I eat meat like Piper but also have certain health habits like Danielle for example the milk we both drink is soy-milk. All three of us run and are very athletic. We are three single, L.D.S ladies who are working and enjoy staying in shape.

Since I have been back my old friends from before all have gotten married or on missions. Matt, & Derek are on missions. Felix, Makell, Marissa, Maddison and April are now all married. It is kinda weird to me mainly because with the guys I cant hang out with. :( Lindsay and I are no longer friends, their was a lot of drama. I told her she was a flake, but to change and follow through with what she says, but that made it worst, I guess the truth hurts.

I have met

new guy friends and enjoy their company. When I first moved in with Danielle she introduced me to the ward and I met few from there. One guy in particular I had a crush on, his a huge soccer player and loves Hispanics. A caucasian who was raised in Mexico as a child but was born in Texas, who loves to volunteer at orphan homes in the Latin America and loved coaching soccer. It went well seeing each other for a week and then just fizzed out at the end and stopped talking to each other. There have been others I've dated but still no click with any. I've hang out with Dallin quite a bit, his really chill. I met him through Derek (who is now in a Paris, France Mission). When I lived in Utah I loved hanging out with the guys: Felix, Matt, Chandler, Scott, Dallin and Derek, but when I came back some were on missions or married. So now Dallin and I have been hanging out a lot more. I love the fact his fun to go out with and we both just stay home watching movies as friends. His a good guy friend, and thats all I see him as.

My really good girl-friends are Kristan and Amber who live by me and Julia who won Miss Utah USA last year. I met Julia in a meeting for the pageant when I was preparing my self to run for MISS UTAH USA. I did not go through with it after going to my Father in Heaven and really thinking about it. My decision felt right and not going through with it. I met a wonderful friend instead. :) We both have more in common then we thought, we love running and staying in shape but we are girls so chocolate is always our weak spot. I love the fact Julia is very mature and there is no drama with her. She is very real and has such a fun personality. We get along very well, we are both outgoing and bubbly personalities. Kristan and Amber have been friends since high school and both from Utah. Kristan I met when I was freshmen in college, we enjoy hanging out and having our laughs. Kristan is our entertainer. I see them here and there but not too much.

Live you Life: I'm continuing my life as it comes but just trying to get more financially secure. Not only has the economy gone down but it is very important we stay out of debt. I feel very strongly to continue to work and save. So travels and races will have to hold off till I am more sturdy on my feet.

LIve YOUR LiFe

I moved to Hawaii, I was 20 years old  about to turn 21 in few months when I did the big change. Ready to enjoy my last few months before reporting to the MTC and going to serve for my church. I had left Utah, left my job and family to go on a mission. I felt great about it and moving was the best thing for me to do. I bought my airplane ticket, not knowing anyone or anything about Hawaii I arrived on the Island. Very eager to start my new life and new challenges to start I was ready. I made friends very quick, I moved to the island of Oahu and lived in the North Shore. I had planned few months before arriving but all was in my head. I found my ward and was ready to put my mission papers in. I had saved up enough money to not needed to work and be safe till I was in the MTC. At first I had one roommate and lived a huge 14 bedroom home across the ocean. We were very excited to both be transfers students and LIVE OUR LIVES. Sam was my roommate and she was from oregon, a sophomore in college studying at BYU Hawaii. I was not a student and preparing for my mission papers. By the time it came for my mission papers to go in I was ready, but the lord had other plans for me. Last interview before the papers went in I was denied. I know how can you be denied well it's the lord's call and I was not ready. 

That didnt stop me, I still lived and enjoyed Hawaii and stayed there for a little bit longer.My experience there was amazing, I met wonderful friends who i will never forget and will always have in my heart. Everyone there was so dear to me and just loved how happy and chill everyone was. My last roommates were amazing, I loved all four girls and learned so much from each and one of them. The boy drama still continued and it got worst mainly because the guy there were not members and dating them was hard. With or without boys I had my pleasures in enjoying my sun laying and swimming times in HAWAII. Time went by fast and next thing you know about another year flew by, it was time for me to head back to Utah and continue and finish my School in UVU.

College!!!

I was debating for many months on what college to go to but after really going with my gut I decided. I ended up in Orem Utah for Utah Valley State College, I had received a scholarship for cheerleading and was able to attend a four year college in Utah. Before coming out to the college I came to BYU to tour the campus and see if this is really where I want to be.  I saw hot boys and that convinced me to stay in Utah, ha ha funny but really that helped a lot. 

I lived across ca

mpus and was able to meet a lot of close friends I have now. Very close that I speak to still and will always be my friends for many years to come. I had a lot of boy drama then and honestly yah I did play the field but mainly because I was young and was played several times by others. The first year I was taking care of Bruce too because he moved her for high school, so he had college roommates but attended high school.  By the 2nd year of my college after staying up late and missing some classes and doing cheerleading I was getting exhausted. I enjoyed cheer but not as 

much because the demand of practices and more pressure. I knew I had to stop cheering to get my grades up. I left the team and decided to work full time instead

.  

I did two years in college in Orem and then moved to the GATEWAY in Salt lake city where my new full time job was located. I managed to do a semester in Salt 

lake Community College with full time work. I worked with Strategic and after a year I had decided to go on a mission and move to Hawaii while my mission call was being processed.  

High School Year in California

By the time I was going to the Jr. High my brothers and I were split up. My parents had gotten a divorced and my mother moved us to California. The Liston Family was the only ones we knew and we didn't even know them, only my mother had spoked to them over the phone. They were a family of a missionary that baptized me in New York and was very closed to my family. Travis Liston was Elder Liston who helped my mother out very much. We traveled across country from the East coast to West coast on a GreyHound Bus. It seemed like it was a whole weeks journey but really it was like three days. We arrived in Turlock California and lived there for few years. My family now was split, my older brothers with my father and the rest with my mother. Those with my motherl were raised in California. We moved to Hilmar California and basically all of my high years was there. Hilmar is 15 minutes south of Turlock which is located by Sacramento metro area and was a farm place full of cattle. I attended Turlock High School since that is where most of my first friends I knew from Jr. High went. Graduated from there and was able to complete all four years in Student Government and cheerleading. My last year was my busiest year, captain of the cheer team and won State Nationals. I was into track as well with cross country and soccer squeezed in my schedule. I was overloaded but that is what kept me busy and out of trouble. I loved doing all sorts of sports and was very social in my school with my peers. I loved my friends in California but also needed to move on with my life and go to college.
