new year

2012-01-08T20:44:00.000-08:00

I can't believe another year has come and gone. I am going to try something different this year. Instead of setting goals for the entire year I am going to go one month at a time. Some goals will remain the same every month but doing something for four weeks at a time is less intimidating than trying to do something for an entire year.

I am going to attempt to make some big changes in my life and hopefully they will end up being for the better. I just wanted to share a couple of quotes that are going to help me out. The first is one that I saw on the Disney FB page "Thinking you can is more than half the battle" and the other by Sheri Dew "If life were easy it wouldn't be hard". Change happens everyday and it is up to us to make the best of each day.

I can't believe it...11 YEARS CANCER FREE!!!!!

2011-06-02T12:58:00.000-07:00

As of May 25, 2011, it has been 11 years since my last chemo treatment. Can you believe it?? I think about all that has happened since that time and I can't imagine what life would have been like for those around me. I know what my life would be like.....dead and waiting for my family and friends to join me; maybe even be spending time with my relatives who have already passes away.
I am so grateful that I am alive today. Everyday I thank my Heavenly Father that I am alive to have the experience and opportunity to live today. I hear people complain about the weather, I do as well, but as soon as the thought comes into my mind it leaves just as quickly because I remember that I am alive. I get to live today. I have made some great new friends and have been able to get in contact with old friends.

St. George 2001 for a soccer shoot out, so much fun

Here are some photos of what I have been up to these last 11 years. Of the above photos the last three were taken about 8 months after my last chemo treatment.

Shooting...oh how I want to go this summer

These photos are not in chronological order, sorry, but they are things that have happened in my life. Family graduating college, family reunions, spending time with my nieces Shae and McKayla.

First Plane ride. We are on our way to Colorado to visit Jody, Cindy, & kids

Make-A-Wish Foundation got me a computer and took my family to Leo's Place

You and me baby are Stuck Like Glue

2011-05-31T21:49:00.000-07:00

This is a video of my friend Emma singing "Stuck Like Glue", by Sugarland, with me and my sister. She loves this song and I love to play it for her

I love my FAMILY!!!

2011-04-19T15:26:00.000-07:00

I have a pretty amazing family. Last night, because branch FHE was canceled, I have FHE with my family. Me, Jen, Stone, & Matt went to Five Guys. They have pretty good food. So on our way home the new Brittany Spears song came on and my brothers were jamming out in the car. Check it out...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mWblDkIyOU

I have a pretty awesome family. What makes it so good is that this is not planned. What would have made this even better is if all four of my borthers were in the car; but then I would need a bigger car so they would all fit (:

If you have been wondering my toe is getting a lot better, it is almost all the way healed. Still a little swollen but it doesn't hurt anymore.

The Foot (well the toe)

2011-04-08T08:55:00.000-07:00

So on Friday April 1 I decided that I wanted to see what it was like to have a broken toe, no joke. While going to the stairway to keep a baby from going down the stairs my right foot, specifcally my pinky toe, decided it wanted to meet a bookshelf. They met and it hurt. Erin siad "sounds like you broke it." I told her that I didnt but i jammed it good. A few minutes later I shifted my wieght to get something and there was instant pain. I just figured that it would be sore the rest of the night. Before I went to my room I looked down at my foot and I could see a little bit of bruising start to show, I had to take a picture. This was probably about an hour after the actual incident.

Saturday morning the bruise had gotten bigger but there wasn't that much pain, yet.

This is Saturday afternoon. It looks bad because I had been walking on it for a while.

This after about an hour and a half of walking.

This is what it looked like Satruday night. By now everyone that had seen my foot said that I broke my toe, but I don't think that I did. The rest of the night and most of the day Sunday I had my foot elevated & iced to help with the swelling.

By Monday the bruise had spread a little more; it was now under four of my toes but the bruise did not hurt at all.

This one was taken either Tuesday or Wednesday night and the bruise was all up the one toe and my pinky toe is just swollen.That is the progression of my "broken toe". I don't think that I broke anything just really really jammed it. My pinky toe is still swollen and there is still a little bruising and still a little swollen. I am trying to keep it elevated and not walk on it to much but somethimes I just have to move because I do.

Are you ready for this....

2011-03-25T07:58:00.000-07:00

Well since it has been like forever I thought that it would be nice to give everyone a glimpse of what I did in the 2010. Kind of sad that I am doing this is March 2011, better late than never right.

This is me and Nate watching Pete's Dragon. Everytime that he came to the house he would say "Amy can we watch Pete's Dragon down in your room?" Of course I always said yes.

My dad made this amazing shadow box and a mount so it would fall aff of the wall. I got to be his photographer so that he could see what he had done. It was so cool how he was able to make this work. This is what my dad does when he is not selling pest control, he is a custom framer.

Mom got to spend some time in Houston. Here she is with all her grandkids.

Shae loves, loves, loves Addison.

Mom got some real cute pictures of the girls in their summer dresses.

2011-03-24T21:06:00.000-07:00

It finally worked!! I got a picture to show up. Jen wrote this when she, Mom, Erin, & Addison went to the beach.

I am posting this one right now becaues I don't want to lose it. Keep watching for more Pictures of Amy's Life 2010!!!

FANTASMIC!!! Such an awesome show

2011-03-22T20:41:00.000-07:00

This is kind a long so make sure who have plenty of time to watch it.

My family went to Disney World for Christmas 2010 and we had a blast. We got to see this show at Hollywood Disney and they projected the picture on water and also had live entertainment.

Check this out. It was so much fun.

There was also a light show. They played Chirstmas music and there was a bunch of blinking lights; it was pretty cool

2008-11-06T14:14:00.000-08:00

Yes I know it has been awhlie but I have ben traveling. These are a few places that I visited.

Just kidding, I got these pictures from a friend in an e-mail titled "If this is Earth, I wonder what Heaven will look like" These are only a few of the pictures. I have nothing but work and go to school. I only have a few weeks left of this semester and then I get a break.

Oh happy times

2008-10-23T10:40:00.000-07:00

I got to spend some time with my nephew last weekend. He loves to play the guitar with me. Whenever I get it out he drops whatever he is doing and comes walking, or crawling, over. He sits on my lap and drums on the guitar like August Rush. Not as beautifully as August but we are working on it. I can't wait to spend some with Dave, echo, Shae and McKayla this weekend. I will take pictures and get them up. I am doing well and am ready for this semester of school to be over and done with, although I feel the same way about this time in the semester anyway.

I am still here!!! hehehe

2008-09-11T12:47:00.000-07:00

I am going to be moving into the other side of the duplex, how exciting for me. as soon as i get everything situated i will try to post some pictures. i have to get back to work so i will write again soon. loveeyalots.

Pics for you

2008-07-20T17:28:00.000-07:00

These pics are from the time that I got to spend with my nieces. They were on my phone and I have just been to lazy to get off my phone and onto my blog.

McKayla didn't want to walk in Wal-Mart so I let her ride on my shoulders.

Shae wanted her picture taken by the flowers.

We also got to see Indiana Jones while we were there. (well sort of, he was made out of LEGO'S

Hi

2008-07-17T06:28:00.000-07:00

Sorry no pics today but I thought it was time for an update. Things are going well. There are only 5 weeks and then school starts up again. I love my job and the people that i get to work with. I am still single but some people at work have picked out a couple of guys for me "to chase" so we will see what will happen, most likely not much will. yeah so that is my schpeal for today.

VACATION, VACATION, VACATION

2008-06-30T21:48:00.001-07:00

OK EVERYONE, I have been enjoying my vacation a lot. The first morning we played with beads. We have also gone swmming a lot and we have had way to much fun. We went on a hike today, I have forgotten how mch effort went into hiking and it wasn't even a big hike. It made me miss all of the times that I went on hikes at girls camp. Me and Shae headed back done the mountain before everyone else because we were tired and ready to go home. Another reason was that Shae was not liking all of the bugs, they were freaking her out. and not just a little bit she was really scared but we sang songs on the way back down he mountain and that helped calm her down. So far I have had a great time. Tomorrow we are going to the zoo and going to hang out in Salt Lake. I'll post again soon.

Moving & Music

2008-06-20T09:18:00.000-07:00

How do you like the new look. I am glad I finally found a guitar background. I love guitars. I own two. One is an electric and the other is an electric & accustic. They are both Ibanez guitars becasue I think that those are the best. I am doing great. I have moved back to Idaho Falls, I will try and get some pictures. I moved at the end of May. So that means that my address is wrong on the family calendar, if you want to send me anything send it to my parents address. As soon as I know for sure where I am going to be staying I will get my new address on the family calander for next year. I am finally able to enjoy summer because the sun decided to come out and stay for longer than a couple of hours. I am working on getting some pictures of me and my current place of living. Until next time...

I love my girls

2008-05-13T08:32:00.000-07:00

Are not they so cute. I got to spend the day with my nieces. We had so much fun. We watched movies and made breakfast. We went to the park and also went to the temple to meet Grandma Cindy after she was done with work. We checked out the visitors center and they had a lot of fun checking everything out. When mom was done with work we met her McDonalds and had lunch. Shae had fun playing in the play place and then as soon as I went through it with McKayla she had a lot of fun too. When we were done with lunch we went back to the house and played games and watched movies and waited for everyone to get home. I miss my girls so much and I can't wait to go and see them over memorial weekend. Then they will come and stay with us for a couple of weeks at the end of June and beginning of July.

What is so interesting?

2008-04-24T08:56:00.000-07:00

I KNOW THAT I NEED TO GET SOME PICTURES OF ME ON HERE BUT ALL OF MINE ARE OLD PICS. I WILL GET SOME SOON. SO UNTIL THEN CHECK OUT THIS PIC OF SPENCER. I AM ASSUMING THAT HE IS STANDING WITH HIS COMP AND THE GIRL THAT HE IS GOING TO BAPTIZE. I AM SO GLAD THAT HE GETS TO CALL ON MOM'S DAY AND HE WILL BE HOME THE BEGINNING OF NEXT YEAR. I CAN'T WAIT.

Me & Baby Nate

2008-04-03T12:24:00.000-07:00

I got to spend the day with my nephew and Lisa. We had a lot of fun. He is loves to talk and to be talked to. I am going to miss him this summer.

Sorry

2008-03-24T09:35:00.000-07:00

I a still learning how to use this so hang in there with me. I am currently working full time for ISU in Idaho Falls and attending ISU as well. I love my job and the people that I work with. I live in Rigby. The friend that I live with has a dog, two cats, three birds, and a lot of fish. So their house is always something happening. That is all I can think of for now I have to get to work.

Ok , So I made a Blog

2008-02-12T09:05:00.000-08:00

I have been told that I need to create a blog so I did. Now I just hope that I can make it work.
