my dearest red.

this is my bestfriend. she has many different names but her legal name is sarah

were very much alike but the things that makes us opposites are important things.

such as: im mormon, shes baptist. shes simply a ginger and im a brunette. i tell my parents everything, she tells her parents nothing (and once you read this red dont roll your eyes cause you know its true). im not as mentally unstable when it comes to the fellas either. sarah and i havent been friends since we were toddlers and i am kinda glad cause the one girl i have been friends with since i was that little we hardly speak. dont get me wrong sarah and i have lives and we dont talk every second of the day or every day. we dont even live 2 minutes away from each other which is depressing. me being in utah her being in north carolina. but these are the things that we have in common.. you wanna know, well do you?! good i thought you'd never ask, common interests: thrift shops, hate for mrs. leach, lbr, we just kinda get each other you see. she could say one thing to one person and they would respond with a general answer but then she will tell me and its like WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM , the heavens opened up and the angels are now singing hallejuh for i always give her the best answers to any problem..she doesnt always listen though cause shes super stubborn and i dont always listen to her cause i dont have as many issues but doesnt it always work that way..someones life is going perfect and then your redderhalfs isnt. sarah will be the one to be the godmother of my children..ooh but i hate that word (godmother) it sounds so ignorant to me. legal guardian if i die in a plane/car/shark/boat/train crash. i truly am grateful that i have a ginger that will always have my back no matter what decision i make, that will always listen to pointless stories about trying to train a child, that will listen to my stories about boys, or who will let me scream into the phone when jwm texts me with random nonsense from the past. i truly do have the best bestfriend ever. and everyone should want a ginger too. 

love you gab. thanks for being my wing[wo]man

four year olds should pee in the potty

i didnt have to go into work until 11 today. hallelujah 

i value my sleep and 6 is just way to early ..i mean the suns not even out 

for crying out loud

as soon as i got to the newmans faith runs up to me and says "eva went poopy in her panties" i bit my lip so i wouldnt utter any bad words infront of my dear brown child. eva is four everyone..F-O-U-R! i was potty trained when i was 2, i asked my mother and checked. so i stuck them both in the bath and made them clean their room. and now im watching endless amounts of lost while i wait for the rest of the children to come home..but dont worry i get off at 4. oh happy day! stephanie and i are going to go see water for elephants it looks amazing and im pretty sure were gonna go eat sushi. im excited to have my sister all to my self tonight [ muah ha ha ] 

i hope you all have a lovely friday & weekend.

oh and congrats to william and kate.

petting zoo or a farm?!?

today the girls and i went to either a petting zoo or a farm..but the word zoo makes me think i should have seen a lion or something and i definitely didnt. the most exciting animal there was possibly the peacock,its obviously a farm then. anywho, faith hates preschool..seriously with a passion she hates it. i LOVED preschool i have no idea who would even hate it..i even remember my crush his name was cody clark he was cute and little and blonde..and now hes well hes just blonde. i had to bring eva with me cause im pretty sure its against the law to leave a child that can hardly look over the counter home alone. she had to hold my hand the majority of the time and then she wanted to be held cause she was tired..people a milk carton is heavy to me .. holding a 30-40 pound child is not happening..she was pretty pissed about that one! as soon as we got to the super cool farm/zoo i started getting all giddy.. and i thought to myself "wow stac you're seriously a loser if you're excited for this" AND I TOTALLY WAS! i was so excited that i got to touch all the animals and go on the horse ride..at least i wasnt a grumpy ol' witch. im pretty sure the girls had fun they were both displeased about not being able to ride the mini horses though..especially eva, have i ever mentioned she is the best fake crier on this planet?! well she is.

it was definitely a farm.

i have watched too many episodes of lost

[what 2.5 seconds ago looks like]

i am in charge of four little girls today..i think i would rather shovel cow crap.

i have been sitting at the table listening to barney,carebears,strawberry shortcake for over 2 hours by now and i think my head might explode. but i did just get my new apartment in logan and i am so excited there are no words!! ALKDJGLAKHDLGKJAL;DKGJALKDJGLAKDJGA. im so pumped! anyways i wanted to just say 5 random things about myself cause ya know...its what cool people do.

uno: being from a teeny tiny town in northern north carolina most people would think i would have an accent. I DONT! i do not have a southern accent. i have a draw is what people say. my vanessa is from boston massachusetts , but she has lived in NC for 30 + years and people still don't understand her..and my charlie is from good ol' utah and do you people from utah even have an accent?!! i don't think so. i was taught not to have a southern accent cause sometimes it sounds super ignorant and there is nothing more on this planet that will make my ma and pa flip tables than an ignorant person.

dos: i have a mild obsession with all things chunky..chunky babies,puppies,kids, midgets. the list could go on but so i don't scare you peeps ill just stop it at that. i was a pretty fat kid when i was made so hopefully all my kids will be chunks of love, i hope so at least. if i marry a tongan i KNOW my kids will be little lards. i can only pray for something so amazing to happen

tres: i am kind of a paranoid freak. when i was little i always tried to be really cool and act as if i liked scary movies and that i could watch them without covering my face..well that just led to being a paranoid idiot. the only movie that i honestly remember that scared the bejesus out of me was "the sixth sense" and oh my wowzers did it do a number to my mental state. i didn't even watch the whole movie cause i was so scared ( did i mention i was like 8 when i watched this , so 11 years later ) i remember this one scene the dead dude walked by the shower when the mom was in it or something like that and after that i had to take a shower with my sister for approximately 3 months and as i got older staying home alone was not an option. i am terrified of taking showers only because of the dead guy who haunts my thoughts. but think about it..the shower is the worst place for a robber or mass murder to come into your house right? i mean you're soaking wet and naked so its very unlikely you'll get away alive. ive looked up to see if i have some type of phobia of some sort but theres legitimately people who are so afraid of the shower that they don't take showers..people i bathe..daily! 

cautro: i feel like i should go into the film business and be one of the people that just sits and watches movies all day long and gets paid boocoos of money..that sounds like the life huh!? i am obsessed with movies and tv shows. like right now im actually watching lost i started this series maybe a month ago and i am already on season 4. its sad actually! 

cinco: i want to be a high school psychology teacher..i know its not the most ideal dream job but i better not be the one my family depends on anyways, cause i will have a studley husband whose like a surgeon or big time lawyer or something impressive like that. i dont want to be in school for 100 years, but i guess if i am a teacher i would be?! never thought of that one. I love the brain though (psychology) and i love helping people and if there were to be any time that i could change it would have been the four years i was in hell i mean high school. and plus who doesnt want to be known as the hottest teacher at school .. think about it..my thoughts exactly! i will excel in being the hottest teacher at my future place of occupation too;)

and now im going to a petting zoo with a ton of little kids cause only the cool parents were invited..im actually the nanny filling in for the parent but whatevs. there will probably be a post about that later. 

have a happy day! 

today i miss..

AFRICA

Christmas 2010 will definitely be the most memorable christmas of my life. 

I got to travel to Ethiopia with the family i nanny for, they adopted 7 children

from Ethiopia and the experience has thus changed my life forever.

this is faith shes one of the newmans

the highway is also the front yards of these houses

we made these blankets for the elderly home. they were adorable,

and there was even a guy there that was 106 years old..crazy stuff people.

i was basically at the zoo every day from seeing all

the animals i saw on a daily basis. i saw camels and 

hyenas but i wasnt close enough to take pictures

harmony and dibabe theyre both newmans too

every child i saw was so happy and carefree. it broke my heart

and i wanted to take them all home with me

i dont even like coke..but i lived off of it for two weeks 

cause it was honestly the only thing that seemed edible. 

this picture kinda speaks for itself

the church was the size of my room

ive fallen in love with africa.

and i miss it so much and you best believe ill be going back.

school or bust

blog this is steph, steph this is the blog

stephanie is my older sister by 19 months. 

as children we were the best of friends

then we had to share a bedroom and she always made me clean

the closet and i still kinda hate her for making me do that

cause our closet was always super messy.

thankfully i got my own room a short few years after that.

throughout school steph was always two grades above me..therefore

i knew all of her friends, she didnt like it, i think?!

in high school we were pretty tight and then she moved to the other 

side of the country and got married and forgot all about me.

i moved in with stephanie and her husband when i first got to utah.

i should have listened to everyone cause it was HELL!

i love my sister but goodness me.

she is the best at complaining and this post is kinda pointless

but this picture is of stephanie being all studious and i quote

"I am getting so mad, i am about to cuss."

have a good day ya'll
