GLEE - "Umbrella-Singin' In the Rain" Full Performance

A Christmas Video (Let Him In by Michael McLean)

Christmas!

Let me start by saying that Christmas year was wonderful!! But it was a start late for me. I wasn't really into the Christmas spirit until late December. It just didn't feel like it was here for me. I don't know what really caused this feeling but it was there. I was more a Grinch this year, until Dec 18th I went with Mom, T, R, Ryan, & Ty to our family ward breakfast. There they just showed slides of members in the ward of past Christmas's and had some people tell some things that meant to them about Christmas, and it just brought the spirit that I felt was missing finally here! And it just kept growing as time went on. Song on the radio, to show on TV.... The Christmas Spirit came and went all to soon. But it was a great one while it lasted!
Brandon who is up in Canada serving his mission called us Christmas morning  for a bit. What was really cool is that we were able to skype with him later that night. To be able to see him and talk to him was just Fabulous!! I love my family so MUCH!! and I am truly blessed to have them in my life. We also had both grandmas's over and were able to spend time with them. 

So I was browsing  YOUTUBE and came across a song that I love from the "Forgotten Carols" " Let him in" and wanted to share it, the video it was put with and the song  just added to the Christmas Spirit I felt this season.  Hope that as the new year comes we can all remember to Let him in each and every day!!

Katy Perry - Firework

I love this song and wanted to share it. Below are the lyrics to the song. Enjoy!

"Firework"
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,
drifting through the wind
wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
like a house of cards,
one blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep?
6 feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in down-own-own

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in down-own-own

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in down-own-own

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

Its Official!!!!

I am so Happy!! Its Official Ryan asked Rachelle to marry him today, they are thinking for Oct15,2011 for the date!!! I am just so happy for them both!

Landscape....

So I LOVE, just LOVE scenery, and I take tons of Pictures of the world around me so here are some pictures to enjoy.....

This is a Wheeler Farm, UT. 

This is Copper Mine UT, taken from the Airplane in 08.

This is one of my all time Favorites. I took this while taking a drive with my mom, tiff, shell and baby ty on 09/29/09. We all played rookie from work and took a drive. I don't remember the city's name that this was near or at but I LOVE it. Just the log, to the mountains to the sky and even if you look more the wind surfers in the back ground. 

I hope you enjoyed these three pictures just as much as I do. :)

Scarlet Pimperneal Play

So this is Shell and I headed to Orem,UT to see the play Scarlet Pimpernel, which I loved! Great musical!!! I went with My mom, Tiff, Shell, and my Aunt Treasea for her birthday. 

My sisters and I. L to R: Tiff, Me, and Shell

This is the whole group. My mom on the far left and her sister, my aunt Tresea.  It was so much fun! Wish I could see it again....

Randomness

So thoughts that are running through my mind right now are: Its cold, I miss AZ, I am so excited for my sister R, experiencing something new, shopping, bills, family, Christmas, Wednesday, and work.  Details on those things...

CoLd: Holly Hanna, It has snowed so much!! A part of my wants to go out and play in it but then another part of me just wants to build a fire and snuggle up with a cup of hot coco and read or write. 

I miss AZ: I am looking forward to my trip to AZ in January! My sisters and I are going for a fiends Birthday and I can't wait. Even though I am not going to be able to see Randy now, I am still glad to go to a place that was home for almost 3 years and that still holds a special place in my heart.

I am so excited for my sister R: Rachelle is planning a wedding even though technically she's not engaged yet. More details on that to come. 

Experiencing something new: Just what I am feeling and to whats going on I can now relate more to the men in my past and see what I did wrong to drive them away sooner. :(

Shopping: I have not yet done any Christmas shopping yet and I can't decide what I want to get my friends. I really want a new camera, The one I have now was given to my by my ex and I just want one to take more quality pictures. I also want a pair of leaf earrings. Just a small pair that sits on the ear. But all I'm finding now are dangling types.

Bill: Eh I do not like that word. Why does hard earned money can be spent so easy?? 

Family: I just love em!

Christmas: I want to so some service this Christmas and not sure yet just what I want to do. Maybe Toys for Tots..... Still thinking on that Idea.

Wednesday: I took the day off and will be going to the movies with T and spend the morning with Ty. I saw the movie Burlesque last wedneday and are thinking to see it again. I also want to see the movie Tangled. Looks really cute. 

Work: my schedule for work recently changed to 11-7:30pm. I am not liking it. I would rather have the whole morning and work late at night than instead of the middle of the day where. I am however glad that its Monday-Friday. next week I will be in training so I will be working 8-4:30. I am looking forward to that shift, but then for 2 weeks I will be working from 9-7:30. 10 hour days. The only thing that I am excited for with that many hours is the pay and will be able to afford my trip to AZ in Jan :) 

Well that is the randomness on my mind right now..... I fell like writing more so I think I go work on my story. :) Have a great night. 

Actions...

Nothing really new to report. Got off work early to watch Ty today, which was fun. Burnt my finger on the fireplace, not so fun.  So since I don't have anything really new to report I thought I would share my thoughts on an email my sister sent me....... 

The Light Turned Yellow

The light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing,
stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by
accelerating through the intersection. 

The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in
frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.

As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up
into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to
exit her car with her hands up.

He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted,
photographed, and placed in a holding cell.

After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the
door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.

He said, ''I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind
your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you
and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper
sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday-School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the
trunk, so naturally....I assumed you had stolen the car.''

It just shows that people watch people. We start when we are little kids, some might not pay as close attention to those around them as they get older but some do. Just tonight I simply put a pen in my mouth while I put my hair up and later on Ty puts it in his mouth. Its so true and I am a believer when they say "Actions speak louder than words". So just think what are your actions saying about you...

Yesterday and Today

Yesterday was so busy. Tiff, Tyler and I started off the day  by going to IHOP for Breakfast.  While we were there we had a Space Adventure........

          Moon rock collectors Tiff, Ty and Jen sat in there black rocketship, waiting for take off. Three... Two.... One... vroom! As they zoomed into outer space, Jen pulled out a tube of space pizza and ate away with a Happy grin.  "Next stop: galaxy of the Bandit Ball! Suddenly, Tiff noticed a brown object with a big blond spot int he middle off in the distance. "Look, there's Planet Gulp Gulp! The team landed on its rough surface, and made friends with orange aliens for the rest of the day.                          -The end

After the space adventure we went shopping. Trying to find something for me that I want for Christmas from Tiff we went to Torrid. Not finding anything for me, we decided to go to the children's place for Ty to find a pj's for christmas morning, not finding them there we made one more stop to another kids store. AND we found the PeRfEcT set for Ty! After going to 3 stores we learned our lesson that we need to bring the stroller and if we forget it to turn around! Ty was getting into everything it seemed like.   We then ran errands from getting Tiff's car worked on, having lunch with Shell after she got off work, then to going to Wal-Mart to coming back home to get ready to go to a wedding reception in Bountiful, then to Dinner with the family minus Chris then to home. Going non stop from 9 in the morning to 10 at night. Once home watched Shell play Fable 2, falling asleep on the couch and going to bed around 11:30ish.

So today we are celebrating my dad's birthday and Ryan's birthday.  Just decorated the living room with streamers and balloons for later on tonight.
Let me just add that Shell and Ryan are so cute. Just hearing her laugh while she is with him puts a smile on my face. A side of her is coming out that she has hidden for so long. :)

For my dad's birthday we bought him a camera that he wanted. How we wrapped it was taking it out of the box, wrapping and putting it in another box filled with cans. We were going to wrap Ryan's present in tape but decided not do.

Well that's for all now I guess.

My family and Me

So I am going to give you a run down on my family.  My mom and dad are Margo and Doug met in the army. My dad however was sent home early due to his feet. They were married and have 5 children. Tiffanie, Rachelle, Me(Jennifer), Christopher and Brandon. Its funny how things work out. There are 3 years between each child besides Chris and Brandon. So Tiffanie and Brandon are 11 years and 5 minutes apart... Yep they share the same birthday. We call them the "Bookends" of the family. 
Tiffanie has a son Tyler Scott. He is 14 months old and is such a joy to have around. Rachelle is currently dating Ryan . Chris who served his mission in Honduras has been home for almost 3 years now. He was going to be the kicker for the UofU but due to heart problems he was not allowed to play. So he is just working right now and going to school part time. Brandon is currently on his mission in Canada right now and tomorrow Nov 7th he will only have 11 months left before he comes back home. It's crazy that already a year has past. Right now we are all living together at our parents house. 

Me:

I grew up in Utah and lived in Arizona for almost 3 years with my sisters. I miss it there, though I am glad to be around family and friends again. My best friends are, Tiffanie, Rachelle, Alaina, Rie and Sara. I love being an Aunt and am looking forward to when I get to be a mom. I love to take pictures, and now starting to play around more with Photoshop. Other things I enjoy doing:

Shopping, watching Anime, movies and plays. Laughing, going to the park and playing on the swings. collecting poems, quotes and short stories. I do write my own poems(which I will probably post some on here), scrap booking, watching video games and playing. I like to play  board and card games,one of my favorites is SkipBo. I like to go camping, though I'm sure my version of camping is different than others. I grew up going to Lake Powell, Green River, Camper World. I still like to color in coloring books. I collect Journals. I'm sure I have at least 20 blank journals that I haven't used. Also being in storage though doesn't help in them being used up. I have never really liked to read. My first book(s) that I have finished was The Twilight Series. Yes I do like them but that got my feet wet to read more. I have finished the Hunger Games series and the Mortal Instruments series. I am currently reading Believing Christ.  The current craft project I am working on is making my own secret compartment book. And may I just add that its not an easy task. I don't know what I was thinking when I decided that I wanted to do that. :)    

On a side note, I am sure I will use a nick name on future posts of family and friends so listed below is a key. I will try to keep to just one but no promises. 

Mom= M
Dad= D
Tiffanie=T or Tiff
Rachelle= R or Shell
Christopher= C or Chris
Brandon= B
Alaina = A, Al, or Lain
Tyler= Ty

Hello World!

So this is me, starting to blog. Here I will post probably an arrange of different things from Pictures, to a story, to my own words. I hope you like it, and please feel free to share your thoughts with me and the others that come to read for awhile. 

Happy reading.....
