YAY! Friends! (Day 22 Oct 15th)

So these are my BEST friends! Julie,Holly, Rosie! We tried Skyping today but the connection was not the best. It was still lots of fun to actually see them! I miss my gal pals a lot. I haven't made any best friends here yet, but I am working on it! It always makes me happy when I have phone conversations or get mail from these girls! I just love them and miss them lots!

He can be super cute sometimes.

Sigh (Day 20 Oct 13)

It is a full double rainbow! You can't really see the second one, but there is two! Despite how fun and wonderful this is, we got rear ended today, which was not fun. Everyone is fine. The other other car got the most damage, but they are fine too. It had started out as a weird day and ended odd. We are all OK though!

:)

Halloween (Day 19 Wed Oct 12)

Halloween is coming up! The holiday that kicks of the "Holiday Season". I am  not a huge fan of Halloween at all, but this town is. So, I am trying to get into the spirit a little more because everyone else is excited. This street in particular gets lots of traffic for Trick or Treating. So I will dress up and hand out candy to the little kids in costumes! It will be fun!

:)

EWWW!! (Day 18)

Do you see it? The gecko. I really don't care for these little guys. They are not cute and don't have accents. They do make this weird noise though, but that just creeps me out. There are so many different little critters! I don't like them at all!

:)

Day 17 (Monday October 10th)

I am going to start changing the titles because this is not very exciting. Haha.

I have been printing pictures! I have printed more since this picture. I am going to string them around the rest of my room. I love pictures and photography! I am more of a person photographer then a nature one. There is just something extra when a person is in the photo. This is one of my favorite quotes:

When you photograph people in colour you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in B&W, you photograph their souls! ~Ted Grant

LOVE IT! Pictures are my fav! 

:)

Day 16 (Sunday October 9th)

This is my shrine to cold weather! Haha! :) It has started to get chilly around here, but I know my fellow friends and family are in colder weather!

:)

Day 15 (Saturday October 8th)

Today was beach day! This is Pounder's beach. This beach is not my favorite for swimming because I am not a very strong swimmer, but I like the waves. The boys in the picture are Javier's friends that  came with us and as you can tell they had lots of fun. :) I love how clear the ocean is! You can see him standing in the middle of the  wave! We got rained out though, the fall is a comin'!!

:)

Day 14 (Friday October 7th)

I have been in a cooking mood so I decided to make a nice dinner. Stuffed peppers with couscous. It was sooo delicious and yummy! It was pretty easy too, which was nice. Then for dessert I made spice cake with homemade cream cheese icing as cupcakes. It was fun to cook something new and I am sure there will be lots of pictures of food for awhile!

:) yum!

Day 13 (Thursday October 6th)

They are back!!! Hurray for me!

:)

Day 12 (Wedsnesday October 5th)

This is a Plumeria flower, and it smells sooo wonderful. Often used for flower leis, like mine was. It is one of my favorite flowers! Very simple and sweet.

:)

Day 11 (Tuesday October 4th)

This is how I feel today, tired and a little cranky. Ironically, the dog is the problem! He is evil.

:)

Day 10 (Monday October 3rd)

I am very bored and ready for other people to be in this house. Living by yourself is very boring. There is no one to talk with and you hear every noise possible! Only a few more days. I also made cookies today! Oatmeal and Chocolate Chip, the ones already cut in squares. They were sooo good.

:)

Day 9 (Sunday October 2nd)

I LOVE Palm trees. They are up there with the ocean.

Today was General Conference! Yay! After the sessions were over I went over to the neighbors and had dinner with them and their family. Then all the men went to the Priesthood session and the girls played games. It was super fun! I had a great time.


:)

Day 8 (Saturday October 1st)

I wish these had the red Chinese symbol thing on them. Anyway, since I have been home alone I have been able to eat whatever I want. Tonight I ordered Chinese. I love Chinese food, but I am kinda picky about my meal. I order Broccoli Beef and Sweet and Sour chicken with Steamed rice. I assemble it like this: Rice on the bottom, then I take the sauce from the BB and spread on the rice and pick out the broccoli ( I don't actually eat the beef). I put the SS next to that, it can't touch,  and I only like SS when it has the veggies and is all mixed in together. I don't like the plain chicken with the red stuff that comes it a cup. I know it is picky but that is mostly the only way I will eat it.

:)

Day 7 (Friday September 30th)

Today I tried going to a new town by myself without any help. It did not got well. I got lost and some how ended up turned back around on my way home. So, I went home. But instead of actually going home I went the out of town the opposite way to a town I was pretty familiar with and made it to the mall for some retail therapy. I bought these earrings, they remind me so much of the ocean. They have the 3 layers of different colors of the blue ocean. I love them! I also went to Ben and Jerry's and ordered a Oreo ice cream shake. It is the best thing ever. The ice cream itself is yummy but turning it into a shake was even better.

:)

Day 6 (Thursday September 29th)

This is Monk. He is a dog. Today my grandparents left to South Dakota, and left me and the dog home alone. Yeah, not cool. Anyway, This little dogie has been attached to me since they left. You can tell he is sad that they are not here. The neighbor drove them to the airport and when he dropped the car off the dog was expecting them to have everyone to come back in the house, but they did not. He was pretty sad.  We have pretty much gotten along. I never realized why people didn't like small yapping dogs because the dogs that I have had, Shih-Tzu, don't bark high pitched. Then I met Monk, and I understand now.We will make it through the week though.

:)

Day 5 (Wednesday September 28th)

Starbucks!! I DO NOT DRINK COFFEE. Just making that clear. There is a lot of things you can get there that does not have coffee. A few of my favorites are: Chocolate Banana smoothie, Caramel Apple Spice drink. Above is a Salted Caramel Chocolate Creme. All the Cremes are pretty good and quite sweet. Also, there is Hot Chocolate. That is my grandmas favorite! She is practically addicted. :) Starbucks is just yummy and a soul comforting place. :)
