Celine Dion Concert

I have been waiting for this moment for the longest time. I never got to see Celine in Vegas, I don't know why I never did, but it just never happened. So In November of 2007, when I heard she was coming to Salt Lake in November of 2008, I was jumping on that band wagon. I joined the fan club so I could buy tickets before they went on sale to the public. I bought 7th row on the floor. If I am going to a concert I want good seats. Celine is like my favorite of all time, so you know I had to get the best I could. Well about 2 weeks from the concert date, Nov 21, 2008, they rescheduled the concert to Feb 22, 2009. Celine had inflamed vocal chords and had to take a break. Which I was disappointed I had to wait a year and now I had to wait three more months, but I also wanted her to be able to have a good night, so I was okay with it. I went with my sister JoDee, it was her birthday present. We went last night and it was amazing. Celine is the all time best. I don't think anyone can compare to her vocal abilities, maybe Christina Aguilara can come close, but Celine is so awesome. You can tell she loves and is passionate about singing, it comes from her heart. I idol my singing after hers. She had an awesome concert, she hit every note and she doesn't lip sing. That just proved to me even more that she is the best!

Valentines Day Present

So I got a new phone for V-Day. It is so cute! It is a pink Samsung Behold, which is a touchscreen. I cant get an Iphone because we have Tmobile, so I have to settle with second best, story of my life. Anyway I love it! I hope I can figure out how to use everything. It has a 5 megapixle camera, which is cool.
Tonight Cody and I will be going to the Cheesecake Factory, for the first time. Then we will go up and see the movie "Taken", cant you tell I let him pick the movie. My Mother will be surviving our children, hopefully. My Mom gave us gift cards to the Cheesecake factory and Larry Miller theatres for Christmas, so our date is free tonight, YEAH!! Thanks Mom!

Dad's Birthday

So yesterday, the 10th, was my Dad's Birthday. Lets see, he would have been 73 years old. He is a lot younger than that where he is now. My Dad passed away almost 8 years ago. He was serving a mission in China, teaching English in the Xian Foreign Language College, when he passed. Look for the details of that event in April, on his death anniversary. Even though he is not here in person, he is always here in spirit. My whole family gets together and goes to dinner at Marie Calendars. This was my Dad's favorite place to go out, so we go there in honor of him. It was nice to get together with all my Sisters, Mom, Nieces and Nephews. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!

What A Best Friend Can Do

So I have decided to be mushy and dedicate a post to my best friend. I have realized over the past month some things that I never really dwelt on before. I have always told her that she has made me who I am today and I stand by that 100%. She also was a big influence on me at a time of need.
Let me take you back to 7th grade. I was a shy nerd with glasses that only had a few friends. All my grade school boyfriends started to realized that outer beauty is what counts. I was starting to mature and was very awkward looking. I went to a school a long ways away from home and didn't go to the same school as the kids in my church. I was alone that first day of school. I had to ride the bus to get to school and mostly sat by myself. I became anorexic, as you read from the last post. This disease made me feel like I was in control of my life. That was one thing I could control when everything else was spinning out of place.
One day I had this knock at my door it was a giant poster-board with a candy gram on it. Basically telling me that I was special and this person wanted me to be their friend. That is how I met Juls. From not too long after that day, all I can remember is being her friend. I know God sent her to be my friend. Through her I actual started eating, I came out of my shell and I flourished. By the middle of 8th grade all of the popular kids wanted me to be their friend. Juls
and I have only had one fight in all the time we have been friends. We will always be there for each other. She knows everything about me and always seem to be an inspiration. I love her like a sister and a friend. We have daughters that have been friends since they were born, they are only two weeks apart. It was fun being pregnant together!
I know God put us here together to be there for each other and look out for each other. Through some of her trials I have said things that I know God put those words in my mouth. I will always be here for her and would do anything for her. I feel like we are kindred spirits.
