Amazing News!!!!!!

Today I had to go to the Sandy Store to help out because they were short handed and during my shift down there and deaf woman came in to pick up her glasses and I was the one who got to help her and it was amazing to be able to talk to some one who is not in my class or my teacher, a real live member of the Deaf community. It was even more cool for me because a lot of other people customers and employee's saw that I was signing to this woman and just watched our interaction. All I can say is that I don't know why do drugs because today I had a great no amazing natural high.

Oh what a Day!!!!!

School

So My politics class is the one class I always dread but some how I always leave fasinated with it. Today we started history and religion and how it shaped our Government. I found this class very interesting because we put the time line together form 10,000 BC to 1700 AD Pre-American government. I don't think I'm ever going to be excited to go to class but I hope I will always leave fansinated with our government and the history of it.

On another note I am doing an 8 page paper on the patriate act so if you have informaton or articles, etc. please let me know what or where they are.

Wish me luck my first signing test is tomorrow I think I will do well even though my finger spelling and comprehension is slow.

Oh oh oh I made $20 in commission this week all in one day.

My Trip With Courtney and Ilse

Courtney's family has a cabin up in Island Park Idaho and there was a weekend where her family was not going to be up there so she got permission to invite Ilse and I and so we went up on Wednesday August 13th and stayed till Saturday August 16th up there with her Grandma who was Staying there for the whole month of August. We took lots and lots of pictures which I won't boar you with but I will so you my favorite ones.
This was the first group Picture we took we thought it would be fun to take pictures at all the state lines so obviously Idaho would be the first state line we would cross. I did do the stupid thing form a walk to remember and stratled the state line and yelled out I'm in two places at the same time, what can I say I'm a dork.
This was just a really cute Picture of us inside Courtney's cabin. For those of you who don't know who these people are on the left in Yellow is Courtney, in the Middle is Ilse (Ill-sa is how you say her Name), and on the right in Black is me. We had a glamor morning where we did each others Hair it was really fun to have a total girlly girl morning. But Seriously don't we all look cute!
well this is the only picture of the river by Court's cabin that I like enough to put up even though I look like a retard but the river is so cool they get fish that are 2 feet long it's way cool, also the water dose not look very deep at all at leas when you look into it but it really is I didn't jump in to see if Court was telling the truth I just trusted her.

We went to this really Pretty Lake Called Quake Lake. The lake was created by an Earthquake and then the quake site flooded.
This Bolder during the Earthquake rolled down one side of the mountain then up to where it sits now.
This is a Picture of that same bolder just so you can see how big it really is. The plaque between Ilse and I has a list of all the people who died in the flood that followed the Earthquake.

Now we Decided that since we did a Glamor morning we should do some glamor picture the following are my favorites that we took here.
This is one of my favorite pictures of me and as most of you know I am very picky about pictures of me so I hope you like it. So after they saw this picture of me they all wanted one as well right here.
This was just a cute Picture of Ilse and me by a big bolder.

So We took Lots of pictures here if you want to see them just ask cause I'll show you but I didn't want to post them all up here because we just took way to many in my opinion. After we finnished up at Quake lake we Droive into west yellowstone and Went looking around it remided me a little of old town San Deigo just walking in and out of all these little shops we went into this one Jewlery stor and Court bougt us all an Amber pendant next time any of you are at my house I'll show you but we all decided that that was perfect for me because one of my favoirte songs that we listend to a lot on this trip was 311's Amber. Any Way we bought this sour dough bread mix that we took back the cabin to make and this bread doesn't call for Milk or Water the liquid ingredient is ...... any guesses?........... BEER! It's called beer bread and it is really good by they way. Luckly we were all old enough to buy beer so that was not a problem.
So we all thougt it would be funny to take a picture of me holding the bottle that the breadmix was in and the bottle of beer while Ilse held the bread up and pretended she wasn't in the picture. Now the funny part to them was I was the only person who drink's in our group so the now wanted proof I told them that this dosen't count as proof because anyone can hold a bottle for beer and we know I didn't drink it because we needed it for the bread.

Day Two

Friday We Got up early. Well I woke every one up and then went back to sleep until Ilse jumped on top of me and then for the rest of the morning they all learned that Victoria is not a Morning person in fact they learned that Victoria is Grumpier than Grumpy the dwarf in the morning. So we got up and through on shoes and sweatshirt and went to big lake where we saw lots of fish the were ginormous. That morning was our "Footloose and Fancy 'Free'" morning if you catch my drift if not it's okay. Later that day well not much later we actually went into yellowstone park and I have tons of pictures but I'm only putting a few up so like I said if you want to see more I'll show you.
Welcome to Montana. This was on the way to West Yellowstone.
We felt the need to take a funny picture. "really you can't afford a DUI?"
Finally we made it to Yellowstone. We stopped to take a picture here and no one was here and then all of the sudden 15 people decided to do the same thing I like that we were the trend setters.
This was at the Geyser basin. The pictures we took don't do it justice cause it was just so beautiful. This was really nice because the stem would hit use and then we would get a cool breeze so we never got to hot or cold.
This is one of the many Waterfalls in Yellowstone and we thought lets take a picture.
So there are these flower all over in these ponds along the side of the road and I just thought that they were the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen, and in the moment and idea was born......(a possible felony just don't tell the Yellowstone parks patrol.)
I Wanted to take a flower home with me but unfortuantly my arms are to short so I needed some help.
So I asked my tall friend Ilse to pick it for me. If you look in top right corner you can see my holding on to Ilse so she doesn't fall in.
and to the Victor-ia goes the spoils.
So I had never been to Old Faithful and I really wanted to see it so when it went off I said to Court will you take a quick picture of me and the not so faithful Old Faithful. Both Ilse and I really wanted to see it so we drove there hoping to see it and just our luck by the time we got there it had just gone off so we waited the hour and an half that it takes now so that we could see it. I didn't get to see the person put the exlax in it to make it go off though, Maybe that's why is not regular anymore.
We went to this really beautiful Place called artist Point and it was breath takingly beautiful so we asked some one to take a picture of us here.
Now I am not a photographer but I just thought that those of you who are and most espessally Jess would really like this picture that I took of the waterfall at artist point.
Sadly every Trip to Yellowstone must come to and end so this is how we said goodbye. (it was really unfortunate because Victoria's bladder struck again. I really had to go to the bathroom bad when we took this picture good thing we were close to a bathroom however it took forever to find one that was open.)
So we all had I travel Buddy (they told me I needed to bring on I really don't have one but I was told to bring one any way) but this is Courtney's and I took this picture because Courtney and her Monkey are listening to the song "Me and My Monkey" Got to love Robbie Williams Right Shell?

Day 3
Oh No Ilse and I got caught in the two seater out house!!!
That is where Court's Cabing is located on White's Acre.
This is Court's Cabin and her Grandma who is the sweetest lady ever. I love how it looks like a real Cabin.
Before we left we went to L-iner with Courtney's Grandma and had really good bugers. Dosn't it look like we like each other well it should because I had so much fun with Courtney and Ilse I can't even telly you how much fun we had.
Courtney and Ilse Travel buddies.
aww! cute Sleepy Ilse.okay so we got a little bord on the ride home so we took pictures of our food.
and.....
of my ipod funny huh good music though.
And Finally we Mad it home welcome to Utah.

I'm Back

Sorry Its been a while but I haven't had anything new to say but I will soon. I will be posting updates on the job front and school updates and my trip highlights soon so don't think you have been forgotten about my blog, "So keep your eyes on the horizon."(Pirates of the Caribbean at Worlds End, William Turner)

Big Life News!!!!

So as some of you may know or surmise I just recently lost my job and am currently looking for a new one. If you here of some thing please let me know.

Re Design!!!!

To Start I have the greatest sister in the whole world. It may sound like a I'm just saying this or brown nosing my sister but I'm not. Ali is the most talented graphic designer I have ever meet. No technically I never really met Ali or I just don't remember it cause I was a baby but I'm getting off the track. For those of you who know Ali and have seen her handy work in the world of graphic design you know that I'm not exaggerating she really is very talented. If you don't know Ali this new design for my blog is her handy work. So here is the Story, and sorry to mom I'm gonna stroke Ali's ego just a little bit right now. Every day one of the first things I do is check everybody's blog Michelle, Ali, Eric and Shelly, Anna, Emily, and Aria's well yesterday as I check Ali's blog he post said something to the effect of she was changing her blog location from live journal to blogger or blogspot I can't remember which it was. so I click on the link that she posted to her new blog and it was very Ali so If you would like to see it Her is the link Ali's Truth's, Universally Acknowledged So Seriously it's so cool!!! huh? So after I saw her blog being the little sister that I am wanted one not just like it but equally as cool, So I left a comment on her blog telling her how much I liked it but also that I want one. Now I don't know if this was because it was my birthday or if Ali just got board yesterday either way yesterday shortly after I got home from work Ali had maid and emailed this to me with the instructions of how to post it to my blog. She told me that she had set me an e-mail that I would love I thought that it was the the 20 free font e-mail that she sent me earlier in the day but so I didn't check my e-mail until later and once I did one I was taken back because this is so perfect for me and two I couldn't believe that she did that all in one day because to me that looked like it would have taken like years or at least day's to do be cause it's so cool!!!! Anyway after I opened it she helped me put all the information in to the the links or html code in the the code for the original blog. but seriously this is so friggen fantastic!!!!! Any who I Hope you all love it as much as I do!!! and...........

Thank you Ali!!!!!!

Former Friends part 2

So this is the follow up to the original Former Friends post.

I was unable to attend Courtney's birthday celebration after all and both Ilse and Courtney understood and didn't hold it against me for not coming. Anyway so the real reason of this is that I had a incident in the shower yesterday morning before I continue I need you all to know that I am fine, so as I was drying off yesterday I got a little dizzy and passed out. I think I bumped my head on the edge of the glass, and hit my arm on the hand held sprayer, at least I assume this is what happened when I came to I was on the floor my arm was on the tiles where my shampoo was may other hand on the floor with my towel wrapped around it, and later I found that I have bump on a straight line down my right eye up to my hair line. Needless to say it really freaked me out so I called my mom and we decided that it was best that I stay home today just to be safe. So when I told Courtney and Ilse that I was unable to come the were fine once I told them why and they just wanted me to make sure I was fine, so they were very kind and in fact Courtney called later to check up on me which I thought was very kind. Mom and I talked about it and figured that I passed out from a potassium deficiency because I am on a drug that is know to lower your potassium and Mom knew that Grandma Darlin had been known to pass out do to low potassium so mom quickly brought me a banana and told me that I should eat at least one a day. So other than a constant feeling of constant nausea I felt fine for the rest of the day. No Dizzy spells no more passing out. it was a little frightening incident none the less. as off today I am feeling just fine so no worries.

Former Friends

So for you who read my blog cause of it's entertainment factor well this entry will not be quite so entertaining, well unless you find my friendship drama entertaining. I should preface that I am not mad at Courtney or Ilse and they are still my very dear friends.

So it all started with my two very very very dear friends Courtney and Ilse and a very late birthday celebration. Any way Ilse and I have been planning Courtney's be-lated birthday. Well Ilse while trying to reconcile or work out some issues she had with my former friend Emma (I'm not mad at Ilse by any stretch of the imagination in fact I'm proud of her for trying to work things out with Emma.) Invited her to Courtney's Birthday, which I'm okay with I mean I personally don't get along with Emma but Courtney does and it being her birthday she should have who she wants there.

So the plan was to Take Courtney to her favorite restaurant and come back to my house to play game's and watch a movie, well at least that was the plan until this morning, but I'm getting ahead of myself so let be back up a little bit. So yesterday Emma asks Ilse if she could bring her boyfriend. Well Ilse told her she needed to make sure it was okay with her. So Courtney said that she needed to check with us. Well since Ilse and I were planning it I think it's common courtesy to check with all the people in charge off planning it well she didn't check with me I gave her till this after noon and she never did so I told her that I wasn't sure if it was a good idea for her to bring her boyfriend because it was just going to be 4 girls and him, also that it was Courtney's party and none of us really know him which didn't think was the best idea to play meet the boyfriend at some ones birthday, and lastly I didn't feel comfortable having some one I don't know at my house. Well she told me that Courtney was okay with it, which I already knew, but she didn't even address my concerns. So I decided to take back my offer of my house as the party place, because my concerns are not important to Emma. So now the plan is to go to the restaurant and then to a park for games and Emma's boyfriend is still coming.

Sometimes I feel like Emma is really out to make my life miserable so now I think this is really the end of me and Emma after Courtney's thing I'm not gonna be able to be around Emma ever again.

So it may sound like I'm overreacting and I might be but I think that if you knew everything that I have been through with her you might not think I overreacting that much.

On a much Happier note now that I am getting around to putting it on my blog I have a very very very beautiful niece Adeline Joy Bennion born June 11, 2008 and she is just the tiniest little girl I have ever seen so good going Jess and Michelle you do good work!!!!! I have a picture of her and me but I'm waiting to post it because I have red eye's so I look like a demon and there will be no demons around my little niece.

On a funny not my little Nephew Walker had an accident at the park and I guess his teeth went through his lip and so he had to get 6 stitches to fix it and he got like 10 shots in his mouth and didn't cry at all but he I guess was very happy to get some shots cause he didn't get any at his last visit to see Dr. Berry (Dr. Raspberry as they like to call him) and he really wanted one. This little Walker boy is one tough kid tougher than his auntie Victoria who still at 22 can't handle getting a shot so way to go Walker boy auntie V is very proud of you.

Google Search

So I was playing around on the internet and I did a google search for Breaking Dawn and this is what Came up under the image portions of the th search.

This one was my least favorite it seems to much like "New Moon" to me.

This one is okay I like it better than the first but I look it and is just looks like "Unbreakable" the movie

This was my Favorite but sadly it is not the cover of "Breaking Dawn" not enough red I guess.

Breaking Dawn sneek peek

Okay so this is from the Entertainment weekly website it's a preview of the first chapter of Breaking Dawn now It's not the whole first chapter because that wont be released until end of July or August 1st but this was good anyway. Enjoy!!!!

"1. ENGAGED

NO ONE IS STARING AT YOU, I promised myself. No one is staring at you. No one is staring at you.

But, because I couldn't lie convincingly even to myself, I had to check.

As I sat waiting for one of the three traffic lights in town to turn green, I peeked to the right — in her minivan, Mrs. Weber had turned her whole torso in my direction. Her eyes bored into mine, and I flinched back, wondering why she didn't drop her gaze or look ashamed. It was still considered rude to stare at people, wasn't it? Didn't that apply to me anymore?

Then I remembered that these windows were so darkly tinted that she probably had no idea if it was even me in here, let alone that I'd caught her looking. I tried to take some comfort in the fact that she wasn't really staring at me, just the car.

My car. Sigh.

I glanced to the left and groaned. Two pedestrians were frozen on the sidewalk, missing their chance to cross as they stared. Behind them, Mr. Marshall was gawking through the plate glass window of his little souvenir shop. At least he didn't have his nose pressed up against the glass. Yet.

The light turned green and, in my hurry to escape, I stomped on the gas pedal without thinking — the normal way I would have punched it to get my ancient Chevy truck moving.

Engine snarling like a hunting panther, the car jolted forward so fast that my body slammed into the black leather seat and my stomach flattened against my spine.

''Arg!'' I gasped as I fumbled for the brake. Keeping my head, I merely tapped the pedal. The car lurched to an absolute standstill anyway.

I couldn't bear to look around at the reaction. If there had been any doubt as to who was driving this car before, it was gone now. With the toe of my shoe, I gently nudged the gas pedal down one half millimeter, and the car shot forward again.

I managed to reach my goal, the gas station. If I hadn't been running on vapors, I wouldn't have come into town at all. I was going without a lot of things these days, like Pop-Tarts and shoelaces, to avoid spending time in public.

Moving as if I were in a race, I got the hatch open, the cap off, the card scanned, and the nozzle in the tank within seconds. Of course, there was nothing I could do to make the numbers on the gauge pick up the pace. They ticked by sluggishly, almost as if they were doing it just to annoy me.

It wasn't bright out — a typically drizzly day in Forks, Washington — but I still felt like a spotlight was trained on me, drawing attention to the delicate ring on my left hand. At times like this, sensing the eyes on my back, it felt as if the ring were pulsing like a neon sign: Look at me, look at me.

It was stupid to be so self-conscious, and I knew that. Besides my dad and mom, did it really matter what people were saying about my engagement? About my new car? About my mysterious acceptance into an Ivy League college? About the shiny black credit card that felt red-hot in my back pocket right now?

''Yeah, who cares what they think,'' I muttered under my breath.

Vocabulary Words

One of my biggest pet peeve's is when people insist that they are right after you prove them wrong because they were trying to prove you wrong. Today at work one of my co-workers was telling me a story and I was joking around with them and told them that what was done in the story was considered Thievery. Now two of my co-workers insisted that thievery was not at word and wanted to prove me wrong and so they looked it up right then on the internet and low and behold it is a word and noun to be exact. Anyway after discovering that I was right they insisted that I was using the word incorrectly even though one of the sentences listed with the definitions was very similar to the one I said, and that made me mad so I had to vent!!! I feel better now

Thievery - Is the act or practice or an instance of stealing (As Defined by Merriam Webster)

Now I am extremely surprised by the number of people who think this is not a real word. So this is the vocabulary word for today:

Thievery

Jane Austen Heroine

So I took the Jane Austen Heroine Quiz and discovered that I was exactly who I thought I would be surprise surprise But I am Marianne Dashwood of Sense & Sensibility! You are impulsive, romantic, impatient, and perhaps a bit too brutally honest. You enjoy romantic poetry and novels, and play the pianoforte beautifully. To boot, your singing voice is captivating. You feel deeply, and love passionately. Now besides the play the pianoforte beautifully I would agree to this one completely.

Who are you I am very curious so let me know.

Take the Quiz here!

12 Apostles Song

Jimmy Kimmel's

Okay s this is Jimmy Kimmel's Reply to Sarah Silverman's video but I thought this one was funnier than the first one. I hope you all enjoy this but again it's just a little crude. Look at all the stars they got to perform in this one I just love it!!!!!

Cool things

So for those of you who watched the video I hope you enjoyed it. I really want to get Jimmy Kimmel's response to that video but for some reason I can't seem to get it on I'll keep trying but If I can't get it to show up I'll post a link to it.

Here are some resent iGoogle Treasures.

Now don't be a prude with this Picture!!! I love these. If you stair at this like you would a magic eye image the text will also pop out but really if it takes you a while to see the words get your eyes checked.

You may be a redneck if you ever used a toilet brush as a back scratcher.
