the secret life of Jenny =)

I need to get better at posting because i have so much going on in my life and i get so frustrated at my friends that dont post on their life and i do the same thing lol. So a few things that have happened since I last wrote
1. Im about midterm into my spring semester here as SLCC and I love it! Im thinking that I will take the next few semesters off and just work full time so that I can pay back my school loans before I go any further in school. Word to the wise never go into debt even if its for your education its just not worth all of the stress especially in this economy
2. Life in happy valley as our institute president puts it is going wonderfully I love living with my aunt and uncle they have a completely different view on the world that I am not used to at all. They live by the spirt and follow gods direction in every aspect of their life. When I get married I would love to have a marriage like theirs, they have their problems but I have never seen two people more in love with each other. They dont have t.v. even the basic package. The only reason they even have a t.v. set is to watch movies. Its been interesting not watching t.v and yet at the same time very refreshing I never realized how much time I spent sitting in front of the tube and vegging out.
3. Church is going well I really hate going to a singles ward though so I am thinking about switching to a student ward at the SLCC institute seeing as its right down the street and the singles ward that I am going to is in murray which is about twenty minutes away.
4. Dance I have finally started dancing again and its been amazing though I lost alot of my strength and skill from taking a year off but I am taking a couple of classes and am teaching a basic dance class for kids so all in all going grand.
5. Dating I am not currently dating anyone though there have been some pretty wild rumors flying around out there that I am getting married so no I am not getting married anytime soon which leads me to the next thing
6. Mission I still have a year before I can go on a mission but I have decided to go on one and am preparing for it now I am excited and nervous and scared to death but at the same time thrilled. I never really wanted to go on a mission before getting married but I am happy that I can.

so thats the update finally lol thanks for being patient everyone =) I love you all have a great rest of the week

a week in st george

i just got back from a week in st george which was badly needed. i learned alot about myself and what direction i needed to take. as much as i love st george salt lake is my home and always will be. i love the fact that there is more than four things to do in salt lake unlike st george. i was glad to see alot of my old friends i went shopping with jill which was an experience in and of itself lol i saw karson and went shopping with him i saw david and hung out with him alot i saw bryce after two years and that was a very strange experience to see him and talk to him he grew up i cant believe he is 21 now i feel so young and so old at the same time lol i went to see new moon on thursday at midnight and saw people being completly nuts i mean i like twilight as much as anyone but man people are nuts!!! i wish i had a camera and taken pictures but oh well. i got some christmas shopping done for my cousins and my aunt and uncle now i just need to figure out what to get my parents and siblings. school is starting to wrap up and finals are coming up soon. im starting a cna class on december 7th that goes for two weeks that im excited to finally be taking and hopefully will get a job as a cna soon. so i know how everyone loves the holidays and all of that but honestly i hate christmas i hate the fact that people have lost sight of the true meaning of christmas how everyone is so stressed trying to get all of the 'fun" traditions done that they dont actually enjoy the traditions because everyone is mad at each other or stressed trying to get there i hate the fact that christmas is all about one upping each other on who got the best present oh i got an iphone oh thats nothing i got a macair etc etc i dont like the fact that people have taken christ out of christmas i would much rather have a quiet time at home having a nice meal and actually enjoying each others conversation instead of trying to be four places at once ok thats my rant on christmas lol as for this christmas it will be different to see how my aunt and uncle do it compared to my parents well thats all for now oh and shout out to my friend rachael im so sorry about your grandpa my thoughts and prayers are with you (((hugs)))) have a good week everyone

happy one year anniversary to me!!!!

its been a year since i moved out on my own and so many crazy and wild good and bad things have happened to me. i moved to salt lake from st george and it was one of the best decisions i have ever made. not that i dont love st george but for right now salt lake is where i am supposed to be. i moved twice since i have been here i moved to herriman first to be a nanny for some old friends and that kind of went bad because they were having some money troubles and some other issues. i moved to my grandparents for about three months and that was good and fun i got to know my grandparents a lot better than i ever have before. i then went to vist my uncle and aunt and cousins and within a couple of weeks they had asked me to come live with them and help my aunt with their four kids and this has been the second week i have lived with them its been an adventure and a blast i have all ready learned so much from them. i feel badly that i hadnt had much of a relationship with them while i was growing up i was being a stupid busy teenager that was too busy to deal with being with her family and that makes me very sad now but at least we can try and make up the time now. the only downside is that their downstairs bathroom doesnt work so there are six girls one guy and one bathroom ....yeah its an adventure in the morning we form a line down the hall way sitting and waiting for our turn to go bathroom and doing "the potty dance" lol my cousins are amanda who is ten going on twenty sometimes its hard to remember that she is ten she speaks like she is forty sometimes lol alexa is seven and is turning eight in feburary and is very excited to get baptized soon she is the shy quiet one of the family angela is five and is very in your face if you dont pay attention to her she will make you pay attention to her she is a little ball of energy and its almost impossible to keep up with her then there is andria who is almost two years old and climbs on everything you cant turn your back on her for five minutes because if you do she will be up on the piano bench or on the top of the stool or some other really high place that she is dangerously close to falling from. my aunt sara is an amazing lady she takes care of four young girls and homeschools them all so she is full time mom and full time teacher and she gives me a lot of really good advice my uncle troy is stuck in a house full of six drama queens but he does really well with it he works as a stock brocker and he loves it and i love the way they run there family and how they have accepted me as part of the family i am not a guest in their home i am one of their daughters and they treat me as such lol its funny when sara gets her mommy cap as she calls it on and tells me something like you better put on a jacket its cold and things like i forgot how nice it was to have someone care about you and care about when you got home or ask how your day was how was class i didnt realise i had missed it that much until i had it again im going to st george on november fifteenth and will be there for a week which should prove to be interesting and fun hopefully.... my aunt and uncle and i are starting this new excersie program called p90x its an intense program but it gets results i have done the research on it and its amazing what you can accomplish with it so if we keep at it im hoping that it will kick my butt into shape. my singles ward is going great i love it so far though im the youngest one there lol its funny to see peoples reaction how old are you? oh im 27 how old are you? oh im nineteen blank stare.....really? i even had one guy ask to look at my drivers license to see if i really was only 19 it made me laugh. oh congrats to my friend kelsey who got engaged a couple days ago you will make a beautiful bride =) well thats all for right now i hope everyone has an awesome week

snooty and the beast

ok everybody (meaning the two people who actually read this blog lol) update time i am currently working as a nanny for my aunt and uncle who needed the help and it has been very fun i am sad that i didnt get to know them very much while i was growing up they have a different way of doing some things but i have never met a family so strong in the gospel! they have been very good in accepting me as part of the family and i call my aunt mom now lol it started out as a slip but just kind of grew to a habit lol I miss my family more than i expected to living up here in salt lake while they are in st george. bryce tadd comes home in two weeks that should be interesting and taylor and dallas wedding was this weekend i couldnt be there but i heard that it was beautiful and amazing from my best friend jill who happened to be her bridesmaid lol anyway midterms are going well just one more to go yay and then to be free for a week oh it will be glorious my grandpas birthday was on sunday and it was a very good day for the entire family rifts are starting to mend and that gives me hope for my own rift i just hope it doesnt take two years lol we went to a play for his birthday called snooty and the beast at deseret star theatre they obviously do spoofs etc and it was funny and cute anyway i have to go be a nanny now lol my friend told me the description of being a nanny taking care of kids as if they were your own without the benefit of a husband lol exactly but i love it lol

general confernce

It seems like every other time I post a blog its to say congrats to one of my friends who has gotten engaged or married Lol so this week its bre Christie who got proposed to yesterday so yay! Ok so general confernce was amazing! This is really the first time that I have sat down and actually listened to it and it was amazing that in every talk there was something that seemed to be just for me to hear and it re instilled my testimony and love for the church I have to admit I'm very partial to Gordon b hinckley and he will probably always be my favorite prophet but president monson is truly our living prophet today I loved all the talks on missionary work because I have so many friends on missions and I know how strong they are :) I'm going to my aunt and uncles house tonight to see them and my cousins I haven't seen them in two years and they have a baby I have never even met so I'm excited to go to dinner and spend time with them I loved confernce but I was sad that I missed my family tradition of eating cinnamon rolls while in our pajamas we always knew it was general confernce Sunday because we would wake up to that amazing cinnamon smell so I missed that but I still loved it :) have a good week everybody

cleaning the confernce center

So this week I got Taylor Livingston and Dallas goughs wedding invitation it was very cute and they look very much in love sadly its not in the budget to go down and do some of the things I want to do so best of luck to you both this is the first time that my friends have married each other its kind of weird Lol when did we all grow up and get married and have kids? So Saturday my singles ward went to help clean the confernce center in prepration for general confernce it was actually really fun we had a huge bathroom though forty stalls I'm not kidding we counted but we sang disney songs and hymns as loud as we could they told us we were the first group to sing Lol my friend Jan lost her job last week and trying to help her find a new one is not going so well stupid economy I'm grateful I don't have to worry about rent or food its been nice so Davids family invited me on their annual California trip I don't know if I will ho yet or not we will see how the schedule works out and the money Lol ok well have a good week

this blog is going private in about a week

Ok so much to report school is going really well I love it so this Friday Jan and jalene and I went to our singles ward camout which was a lot of fun we stayed in cabins so I don't think of it as really camping then on Saturday we went to the demolition derby I had never been to one and it was amazingly fun watching idiots trying to crush each other into a pulp lol Jan and I found a great new frozen yogurt shop called frogurts its amazing and healthier than ice cream Jan jalene and I have earned the nickname of the three j s in our singles ward because were always together we do like everything together now which makes me laugh and give me a stronger testimony of prayer because the week befor I met them I felt like I had no friends up here and was just really sad about it I prayed to heavenly father for help with this issue and that Sunday jalene say down next to me in relief society and wouldn't stop talking to me lol she asked if I wanted to go dancing with her and her friend Jan I said yes and from that night on we three became inseparable we do everything together its kind of funny how things like that work out it was my friend wills birthday a couple days ago and he is in the army so I sent him a card and some candy so happy birthday will!
