KRISTA IS HOME

My Bestest friend in the whole world is finally home from her mission!!!!!
That was such a long year and a half for me. I am so happy she is finally home. I spent the night at her house the day before and drove to the airport with her mom, sisters and little brother.
We were all so anxious waiting for her to come throught the security gate. When we finally saw her, Me Tessa and Bri started jumping up and down and crying. I didnt think I would cry but i just couldnt help it. I was so happy to finally see her face again I just lost it.n When I finally hugged her it was so amazing. We sat and held each other forever, she kept saying "Oh my Wendy, I missed you!" Kelly Was so Excited to finally hold her daughter again. I was so happy for her, She needed her Krista home finally.
Now that she is home it feels like she never left. She just jumped right back into the swing of things. The only difference is that she speaks fluent Spanish now.
When she gets all excited she will look at you and try speaking it really fast, not knowing we don't understand what she is saying. It cool but funny as well cause now she has to translate Spanish to English in her head before she speaks even though she was raised using English.

I'm Being Watched....

Every time I get in my Car to drive away I see these 2 little faces watching and waiting for me to come play with them.
They also sit there when I come home as well. I got out of my car on my way to work so I could take this picture cause I thought it was the cutest thing but also so sad. I love them both so much. I love how you can see Lexi's left eye peaking through.

New Things!!

My parents have been remodeling the house for over 5 yrs now. With all the changes going on with the house and my life I decided it was also time for a change with my walls. I wanted them to look clean and fresh again and have something brighter so when it would be a happy place to come home to instead of so dark and lonely.

I had a deadline of a week to plain as well since my parents were getting new carpet. (They didn't want me to be painting with their new carpet) So

I was rushing trying to get it all done. When I went to the store to get the pain I had just picked out one of the first colors I thought would go well with the new carpet sample I had. I got 2 gallons and came home and instantly started to paint. I fell in love with the green!!

The blue was fun but was starting to get old and has holes in the walls and chipped paint from when Cameron was staying in this room. It really needed a new paint job from the first day i moved into that room but that never happened.

Now my room is all finished and looks so nice and clean. I got it all organized and got rid of some old stuff with the move of everything out of my room with painting and the new carpet.

Walking into my room now is so much fun. It makes me happy every time I come home. Before I never wanted to be in my room. It just felt too dark for me

Broken Heart But New Start!!!!

Wow its been forever since I posted my last blog!! I'll try to get everything caught up to speed with my life.

So January was a very HARD month for me. I broke up with Garrett, (Not because I didn't love him) I Just didn't see it working out, We had talked a lot about getting married and every time I prayed about it it just didn't feel right. Turns Out It was the best choice I could make!!
I felt that it was not meant to be.I was even having dreams about getting married to him and In my dreams it was always sad and I would wake up crying or upset. I knew that's not how a wedding should feel.
It broke my heart telling him we were done but I knew it would be for the best. The week I figured out that I had to end it with him was very difficult. I went that whole week on my knees praying for inspiration and help. I didn't eat for 5 days because of all the stress I was going through along with crying myself to sleep each night. I keep to myself when dealing with hard trials so naturally no one knew what was going on with me. I was like a zombie walking around.I wouldn't talk to anyone about the things I was thinking or my feelings.
I would break down randomly cause I felt like my world was falling apart and I couldn't do anything to save it.Finally I went and had a talk with my bishop. It was the most amazing experience. I knew going in to meet with bishop that I was planning on ending my relationship with Garrett, but I just wanted him to make everything okay. He Gave me a blessing and a hug. The spirit was so strong in that room.
I was amazed by the power of the priesthood keys. Bishop Durkin had only been bishop for less then a week when I met with him. You could just tell that the keys had been past on to him from bishop White. It made my testimony of the church grow so much that day. Leaving his office I knew things would be fine if I just followed through with my plan.



Right after my break up I got in a Car accident. Elena and I were driving back from her house and heading over to Mission Bay's FHE. I made a left turn with a green arrow into the first lane at Higley and Guadalupe. A huge lifted truck made a right on red into his lane then started coming into my lane. He smashed into the passenger side and crushed around the sides wheel of my car on the right side. I was so scared!!!
All I saw was this huge truck coming toward us. I thought that Elena was going to die right there in front of me when I saw him coming over.
We pulled off to the side of the road and he admitted that he didn't see me and that he was so sorry. We got it all worked out with the insurance and my car was completely covered. I was set up with a rental Car till my car was fixed up.



I decided it was time for a new look for me so I convinced Becca Morgan to cut and color my hair. I wanted something new, fun and fresh for the new me.
I loved my hair when we finally got it all done. It is an over directed, disconnected long a-line cut with brown underneath and blond on the top. I was so excited when we got it all done!!!
I love it.Walking to my car after my hair was all done was upsetting.
I noticed that my rental car was missing. Apparently your not allowed to park on the left side of the street in her neighborhood. She had never told me and I didn't see the sign that says that cause it was 3 houses down.
So I had to get my car back from the impound after paying $200. So what I thought was going to be a Free hair color and cut ended up being pretty expensive!

Being single now has been great! Different but it feels good. I am still trying to get used to not having that special someone I can depend on and be with but everything has worked out. I do get to hang out with a lot more of my friends that I didn't see as often.


I quit my Job at GREAT CLIPS just this last week. I have enjoyed working there but its nice having a break and just worrying about the one job again!
