Wordle

I found this awesome new website! Its a lot of fun! It will make art out of words you use everyday, this art is of the most used words on my blog!!!!


Wordle: Untitled




How fun is that! I am gonna make one and frame it of the words that Deric and I say most to each other! I think its so cute!



Today was another good day! I finally feel like the Tustin 3rd ward is my HOME ward! I love this ward, and the women in it are amazing. A lot of the women come up to me and ask me each sunday how Deric is and how I am. It is so nice to know that people are concerned! I love my ward!



Another piece of good news! Deric and I got new BlackBerrys on Wednesday! They are so much fun! I get to check my email, blog stalk, facebook and my space on my phone! its amazing! So worth it! Verizon is having a sale if you buy one blackberry you get the 2nd for free!
Thats been my last month! Not a lot going on in califonia. But it has been very warm lately, not to rub it in to people in snow! But I did get sunburnt this last week when my family was in town! I am FINALLY starting to get tan after 22 years of not being able too! Its about dang time!

yes its 1 in the morning

Yes, its true i am blogging at 1 am. I am actually talking to deric over web cam right now! My first time actually seeing him since he left.



I love modern technology! His camera sucks so he is super blurry, but I can still see him! Here are some pictures of his deployment so far! enjoy!
this picture kinda made me question if we were having kids! that is a huge gun around children!!!!




i have never seen ronald look like this before! I guess only in Thailand!
My husband looks so tired in this picture! This was there sleeping quarters on the ship. ewww i would hate that! He said he was super thankful when they got back to base in Japan so he could sleep in a bed again.

My Family Rocks.


I love these women!!! They are so much fun!
The only good thing about living to close to Disney Land is that when family comes, I get to hang out with all of them!!!
So the Bartholomae women came into town yesterday to the unsunny southern California weather. Yes it does rain here. and of course it rained for them. But that didn't stop them.
We went to dinner at Rain Forest Cafe and had one of the funnest waiters ever! He is in the picture of course!
It was a lot of fun to have family, in a time when I totally needed to have people I know and love around me!
Thanks for coming into town girls and for the fun dinner! Can't wait to see you all again soon!!!!

Life is Great!

I have to admit that my life is wonderful!

I have an amazing husband who loves and cares about me.

Wonderful friends who love and care about me!

Amazing family who love and care about me!


sorry its been so long since I have updated. Our wireless card broke about 3 weeks ago now and I finally just got the replacement for it today.

A lot has happened since my last post.


Deric is back from Thailand! OH my did he LOVE it there. I can't wait to get some pictures from him. He wants to go back sometime to visit there when he isn't with the military!

Now that he is back from Thailand that means that our communication is getting better! He does have a cell phone in Japan which makes things so much easier. We can text and talk a lot! I love it when he is in Japan!


I love my new ward! It took a little getting used to, just like ANYTHING does. The women in my ward are amazing. I bore my testimony in church on Sunday, it was rough getting through but I am so grateful to Heavenly Father that he gave me the prompting to go up and do it! It was totally worth it. Now everyone in the ward knows who i am and they all wanted to know more about Deric and I after sacrament meeting. It was a great feeling talking to the Women in the ward and getting to know everyone.


A couple of weekends ago Ranya and I and her friend Natalie from England went to the Rodeo!

It was SOOOO much better than the Cheney Rodeo. It was the PBR Nation Qualifications. It was awesome! It was Natalies first time ever being to a rodeo, she didn't really know what it was at all! we had a blast, in the beginning the people behind us called us trailer trash and then after wards some teenager came up to us and wanted his picture with the 3 of us. It was an INTERESTING night.
I can't wait till the end of October because the nation championship pbr is going to be in Vegas and ranya roger deric and i are all going!!!!!!
Life is great!
