My trip to New York!

(I look really hefty in this picture....why do I feel the need to stick my stomach out as far as I can in pictures?)

Unfortunately, I am back from New York but I had a lot of fun! The first night I was there we were both pretty tired so we just watched a movie with his roommates. The next morning (morning meaning 12:30 or 1) Mike, his friends Blake, Gary and Jorgen and I, went to the train station that took us to New York City. It only took us about and hour and a half which was less time it would've taken us to drive since he lives on Long Island. Plus we didn't have to deal with all of that traffic.



(Jorgen, Mike, Gary, Blake)



This picture is of Mike and I in the train. He is hot.



This picture is in front of the church that was really close to the twin towers but didn't get damaged at all... weird!

We went to Amityville, Long Island (Mike lives in Long Island by the way) to go see the Amityville house from the movie Amityville Horror. I got some really cute bags from a chinaman and I love them. Also we saw time square and ground zero, we went to New Jersey to have dinner with a family in the ward he was in when he lived in California, went through the holland tunnel (The tunnel that goes under the Hudson River), we saw the statue of liberty and the empire state building. We got a lot done in the few days we were there.


(Us at Applebees, please excuse the fact that I look a lot like a man in this picture... I wonder if people thought Mike was with a guy and that he liked guys...)

We also ate at Ruby Tuesday's, Applebees, and the Royal Oak Diner which was pretty good but not as good as we hoped. Anyway, I went to the airport on Monday night and said goodbye to Mike. It was so sad because I wont see him for a couple of months. I know it is probably pathetic but it is true! I miss him a lot! Enjoy all of the pictures! Oh and P.S. Jessica, Eliza and I are going to New York May 31st- June 3rd! Jealous?

Our Hobby... Sorry I am 3 days late...oops ok?

(In the above picture I am displaying my bracelet, not my ring even though both are pretty!)

So we learned how to make hemp necklaces! And bracelets and anklets... it is really fun! And we are really good. It took us only a few minutes to learn a little longer to practice and then we perfected it. We were so excited that we went to a couple stores to get more hemp yarn and beads. He went into the sporting goods/fishing section. (I figured he would go there. It is like Tim Taylor from Home Improvement going to a car show with his eyes closed.) Anyway, he started walking towards me with a tackle box in his hand. I asked why he was getting a fishing box and he said, "This isn't a tackle box, this is a hemp box!" He is so crafty.


So now we are even more awesome then before if that is possible! Enjoy the pictures!

Mike=Hotter than sin=My future husband=Hottest guy ever

Hello Everyone! You saw a picture of me and my boyfriend a couple posts back, well now he is my fiance! We took a trip down to Vegas to see my family and get him acquainted with everyone. He went to ask my dad for his blessing to ask for my hand in marriage (after taking several false alarm walks down the hall to talk to him) After over an hour of my dad "getting to know him" I sent my sister Eliza to go save him.... not that dad is mean or anything but because I KNOW Mike was so nervous and I didn't want him to be in there very much longer sweating bullets! Right when they were done I dragged Mike on a car ride in order for him to tell me every detail. He didn't tell me much so either they talked really really slow to fill that hour and a half or he was so nervous he couldn't remember the whole conversation. I am guessing option B. Anyway, after our drive we went and sat on the porch swing where he asked me to be his wife! Isn't he so hot in every way! Seriously he is though. I don't mean to sound all sappy or whatever but he is perfect in every way! I think the thing Zach likes about him the most is that he plays catch phrase. Anyway. The ring had to get sized and everything but I got it last night and it was so awesome and the prettiest ring ever. He did an awesome job picking it out! He got down on one knee and it was perfect! Then his mom and I were texting each other until a little after midnight! She is a party animal, and I like her. She is nice. My new name will be Audrey Diane Findarle. Cool huh?

I have more to write about a new hobby Mike and I have that is so awesome but I have to wait 4 hours until I get off so I can take pictures of it OK? So I will post again in a few hours. Love you BYE!

I am grateful for...

I decided that since I have not been in the best mood lately because of all the crappy things going on in my life right now I would write a list of things I am grateful for. I will also add pictures of me and someone I am grateful for. If I dont have a picture of you on here it is simply because I dont have one and if you have one of us send it to me and I will add it... send it anyway so I have it ok? So here it goes! I am grateful for....

Mom- Best mom ever, always puts others before herself and she is always there for anyway whenever they need her! I love her A LOT!

Dad-Funny, cool pilot, helped me a lot over the years financially and emotionally, and thanks for changing my diapers when I was a baby, oh wait.... I think that was the neighbor kids...

Zach-I love to play games with him-funny guy and very creative. Great dad. Also extremely smart!

Amber-Great mom to my niece and nephew and good listener

Eliza-Rad, attractive- dresses really cute, skydives <-------brave

Jessica-a stress freak just like me and I like it. Picky eater like me and a non judger (anymore) which I love the most. I love to talk to her about personal funny stuff so we can make fun of eachother.

Adam- Funny, never smells bad or sweats (abnormal) and has less hair than girls. I love to play games with him like settlers (even though Jess and I can get violent) and I like to watch him wrestle and play with the boys!

Jacob- I like to argue with him and listen to music with him. I love to listen to him play guitar and we talk about girls and boys we like... mostly I talk about boys and Jacob talks about boys and girls.

Michael- A peace maker, the nicest child in our family (tell me who is nicer....don't worry, I'll wait...) SOOOO smart and he is so nice to tutor dumber kids. I like him. Also I love to play guitar hero with him.

Broderick, Cadence, Bridger and Jack- Everytime I see them I smile and get really happy inside! I love being an aunt! I love it!

Jana-I love to talk to her about anything and she always makes me feel better about it. I love to watch classic movies and shows with her such as: A-Team, TMNT, MacGyver, etc. She never passes any judgment...towards me... and she is so fun! I love that she is my spooning/kissing cousin!

Ingrid-wanna have a dance party? I have fun with Ingrid no matter what we are doing. "I twas my twin"

Amelia- Cool roommate! I like to talk to her about funny things and have parties with her, pajama parties, cereal parties, movie parties, milkshake parties, braiding our hair together parties... you know all the fun kind.

Mike- I am in love with him and I love to watch movies with him and go eat with him (because you all know how much I love food!) I loved going to PBR with him and just being with him in general.

Josh, Kim, Kimberly, JC, Steph, Kirkham, Cord, Ash and all of the other cousins, aunt and uncles, grandparents and extened family that I am grateful for. I love having a big family that is there to spend time with and have fun with!

I am grateful for insurance companies that give me more than my car is worth, I am grateful for insurance exchange forms at accident scenes so that I know where the old beast that hits me lives so I can beat her up with a metal baseball bat, I am grateful for metal baseball bats, Food, a place to live, rental car places, clothes, slurpees, music, more food, education (sometimes). I am grateful for free tickets to New York, movies, tv shows on DVD, the fact the websites play shows online because I dont have a DVR, my friends and the ability to see and walk and taste and swim and jump and drive and hearing is pretty cool I guess and a lot of other stuff too!

I am glad I did this. It made me feel a lot better. Now I do not think life sucks as much as I did before. I think everyone should make a list of things they are grateful for and I am looking forward to seeing me on that list! or else I can always edit mine! I love you all and hope YOU know that I am grateful for you!

I think I suck at life... or I am good at letting other people suck at my life!

So First, I got into a car wreck on Monday morning, the 6th day of March in the year of 2008. I was heading West on Bulldog Blvd, on my way to work, minding my own business, going through a green light (I know, going through green lights is pretty risky!) This stupid person (seriously I hate them and want to kill their whole family) was heading East on Bulldog Blvd. Are you staying with me on this one? She was turning left (north) onto Freedom Blvd. and she was supposed to yield to me before she did. Well, she failed to yield and next thing I know this Jeep Liberty is coming at me... FAST! I thought to myself, "Seriously? is this jeep speeding at me right now while I am legally going through a green light?" She was! So I go to swerve out of the way when I see a pedestrian walking across Freedom, to the right of me, parallel to the street I was driving on. So I have to swerve back towards the jeep to keep from hitting that innocent person while I myself being innocent, was getting hit on the driver's side, where I happened to be sitting. My neck got jolted to the right and then whipped back to the left where it was introduced to my driver's side window! My shoulder also got acquainted with the window and it was NOT pleasant. I kept consciousness but blacked out a little, if that makes sense. I thought I had broken the window with my skull but later learned I didn't and I probably just thought I did because my head hit at the same time the car was hit.

I sat for a moment wondering to myself if that did in fact just happen. I finally go to open the door and to my su-freakin-prise, the door only opens like a foot or 2 because the rest of it was smashed in! I get out to go talk to this retard and to my suprise a 76 year old bitty walks out of the car and exclaims, "WHAT DID YOU DO!" I was shocked! I replied, "WHAT DID I DO? YOU JUST HIT ME!" She comes back with, "YOU JUST KEPT COMING! LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO MY CAR!" I said, "I JUST KEPT COMING? THAT IS WHAT I DO AT GREEN LIGHTS! I GO! GREEN MEANS GO!" She walks around sighing in disgust. Then she rudely asks me if I am going to call the police. I said I would but I guess my phone flips open too slow because she sighed yet again and said that she would do it. The police came, and so did my really attractive boyfriend Mike! (I'll talk about him later) She told her side of the story as I quietly listened to her bull faced lies! When it was my turn to tell my side of the story (you know, the truth) she kept interrupting and the officer kept saying, "Be quiet ma'am!" and he sounded very annoyed! She got ticketed and both of our cars got towed. Mike used to be an EMT and with that knowledge, checked for whiplash, concussion, broken bones perhaps, etc. He said I probably have a minor concussion but I insisted I need to get to work.

I then started feeling light headed and sick to my stomach(I put sick to my stomach because I don't know how to spell nauseous<---is that it?) Ingrid took me to the ER to get a cat scan and They also said I had a minor concussion.... Mike is smart! I am bored so to wrap it up...My car is totalled and the old bitty's insurance company is screwing with me and not getting into contact with me at all.... so I am getting a lawyer. If you do not know how Dad feels about accident/injury lawyers, you should ask him. He is hilarious! Oh and P.S. My neck hurts!

So Mike... I have been hanging out with Mike for 3 months, maybe a little more. I know I just posted a blog earlier about the guy was previously dating but I thought a lot about my future and broke it off and I know I made the right decision! I am so happy! Mike makes me happy! And he is really attractive! This picture where he looks like a cowboy is at the PBR thing in Salt Lake. That is professional bull riding in case you were wondering. We went last Saturday and we had SO much fun! The other picture is of us last night watching a movie... If we look chink eyed it is because the flash on his phone is as bright as that memory eraser on men in black. It took us like 7 pictures to get one where we didnt look completely like the chinese guy on karate kid. I am still seeing spots. He will be in Vegas with me March 28th-31st. So everyone get excited! I will talk more later I am sick of blogging and sick of life! Just kidding life is pretty cool!

I got tagged! Thanks to Kim Camber-freakin-lango

I have been tagged. This is the second time! I have played a lot of tag in my day and I don't know if this is really a fair game of tag because of the fact you don't know there is a game of tag in progress and there is no way of escaping! You can't just run up and tag someone when they don't know you are playing and expect them to just want to play! Come on! I can't really say anything else about it because I will tag some of you at the end of this blog and continue with this unfair game. If you don't like it... talk to Kim Camberlango... haha.

TEN YEARS AGO I WAS- Nine years old and I was most likely in 3rd or 4th grade. I did NOT like my 3rd grade teacher but my 4th grade teacher was nice. I went to Treem Elementary. I also got my first pair of glasses in 4th grade. I lived in the same house my parents live in now in Henderson, NV.
PLACES I HAVE LIVED - I was born in Provo, UT but lived in Pleasant Grove and moved to Mission Viejo, CA when I was only 27 days old! (sorry mom that you were still breast feeding me... actually blame dad for getting a job in California ok?) Then I moved to Henderson, NV 3 months before I turned 8. My next move was back to Utah but this time in Mapleton when I was 17. I lived there for a couple months and then moved to Salt Lake city for a couple months then Back to Mapleton. Then Provo and then Mapleton again. Ha Ha. Then I moved to Grovetown, GA for a few months and then Evans, GA for several more months. Then I came back to Provo and I am here now. OK?
THINGS ON MY TO DO LIST - Finish school, clean my messy room and car and finish up some homework
BAD HABITS- Talking in my sleep, Hucking (for those of you who do not know what this is, it is a way to clear your nose... instead of blowing your nose you are clearing it down your throat... sorry if you just puked! Uncle Delbert and my father do it a lot, but they do the huck AND snag.... I just do the measly old huck!) Procrastinating and not staying organized
PLACES YOU HAVE WORKED- Bell Photography, Ben and Jerry's, Zio Salon, Raincheck Corporation, Fatz Cafe, and I worked at this place where you take care of handicap people and it is called Chrysalis for 2 weeks.
5 THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME- Well, anyone who read my blog last time I was tagged already know all of my secrets. But I might know a couple more and if you already know... sorry you know so much about me ok?
1. I cry every time I puke and want my mom to drop everything in her life and drive out to Provo to take care of me.
2. I am going to change my major from Criminal Justice to Psychology, with a minor in Criminal Justice, so I can be a councilor for adolescent drug users.
3. I love wearing chapstick! (Mom, I still carry around the spearmint one you gave me because I kept stealing it out of your purse...in fact I just put some on and it feels amazing!)
4. One of the most memorable nights I have ever had... I was in my beautiful cousin Jana's kitchen and lately we had this thing going on that every time I would leave her presence I would give her a cartoon kiss on the lips (a very animated kiss with a loud sucking noise... obviously) and I would do it on both sides of her face... well I went for her right cheek and she went for my left... well to make this as painless as possible... we met in the middle and kissed smack dab on the lips! Both of us in shock wonder if that really did just happen. We both agreed what happened there that night stayed there. Right after our agreement she went into the living room filled with her syblings and said "Me and Audrey just kissed on the lips!" She is a good secret keeper (please note my sarcasm!)
5. In my apartment we have a lot of parties. Whatever we are doing, we make into a party. If we want cereal... we have a cereal party, a milkshake perhaps? Milkshake party. Lets say we wanted popcorn... popcorn party. Anyway, we love parties.
6. When people give us stuff for our apartment like dish detergent or trash bags or whatever we can use in our home, every time we use an item given to us we thank the person that gave it to us in a high voice. For instance, my mom bought us trash bags and every time we use one we say very loudly so everyone in the apartment knows I am using one, "Thanks Aunt Becky!" and then the rest of my apartment has to say it back no matter what they are doing! It is fun. I also refer to my mom as Aunt Becky so when they repeat it back to me they aren't saying mom, you know, since it isn't their mom!

I wrote 6 things in case someone knew 1 out of the 6 so they still know 5 new things about me!

I officially tag Zach and/or Amber, Jessica, Eliza, and I think that is all!

My true color is...

Audrey, your true color is Orange!
You're a bold, confident orange. A warm, powerful color that indicates a strong, welcoming personality, orange is the mark of people who are social and extroverted by nature. Vibrant, with an upbeat attitude, you have a bright, inviting demeanor. Energetic and fun-loving, you're a real friend-magnet. Your easy charm and unassuming manner make you the sort of person people want to meet and get to know better. Well-rounded and fun to be around, you enjoy helping others, so it's no surprise that orange also symbolizes attraction. Orange is an extraordinary color — for an extraordinary person.
