BDTS Pt II

So I haven't really seen BDTS lately.... he didn't come to football on Saturday! ...Do I wish I had something to do with that--YES... I made it quite clear I was less than interested

....I finally found out where he ACTUALLY lives.... yah, he can see my front door from his... C R E E P Y

.Monday night I was on my way to FHE. I got in my jeep and his car was there, I finished up a text message. His car was gone. hmmm he totally saw me!

..I leave my community and who BLAZES past me like a bat outta hell? BDTS.. He didn't even yield to me like he was supose to. Garunteed he was just trying to get my attention.. L.A.M.E.. I almost gave him the middle finger, but instead I decided to act like a lady and bust out to some NKOB. I passed him cause he decided to drive like a grandpa.... I look over and smile polietly(of course..I'm nothing less than polite) HA! He gives me a half smile and a "I'm too cool wave"..... TOOL :) ha ha! He followed me from Crowchild, to Glenmore all the way to 14th St. I figured he was going to the same place I was( My bff and his bff live in the same apt complex.) I called Mandy and told her she had to be outside waiting, cause I wasn't stopping. She was JUMPING into the jeep and we were gone.


And so it was. I haven't seen him since. Probably a good thing!

Check....Check...and CHECK!

Relief Society Presidency loving my proposal for the Re-treat= CHECK

My "Enrichment Committee" loving my proposal for the Re-treat= CHECK
**Side note, I'm still not too sure what we are calling ourselves after the broadcast**

Edworthy Park Relief Society loving my proposal for the Re-treat = DOUBLE CHECK
** They think I'm a genuis**


So I've met with my committee and we've delegated all the appropriate tasks to each individual and can I just say WOOOHOO!! This is going to be one of the most amazing re-treats ever. I'm so grateful for an enthusiastic team, a supportive presidency and willing sisters to help out. I remember when I was one of two people in the committee so I was doing alot of this alone, but now that I have an almost complete 'staff' if you will, this is going to be FANTASTIC!


Stay tuned for more updates on the re-treat! I'm incharge of all the activities... Good thing I've got some wicked ideas up my sleeve!

I've fallen....and I can't get up!

So, if you've ever come into the lunch room at the hospital I work at between 1 and 2pm it's not really an uncommon thing to see me sprawled out over a few chairs(which happen to be really comfy to sleep on when using two)sawing logs! Anyways, after I finished eating my lunch I did my usual routine....

--Put two chairs together....
--Laid down....
--Was out like a light....
--Trish woke me up...
--Packed up my lunch...
--Stood up to throw my garbage away....
**but here is where things got spiced up today**
--I stood up and fell FLAT on my F A C E.....(yea yea laugh now)

Carmelle another girl I work with TIED my freakin' shoelaces together and I fell when I was trying to walk.....



Looks like I'll be finding a new place to have my afternoon naps..... Now the whole Dept. is talking about how I fell flat on my face... but it's ok cause it was "graceful" how the HECK is a fall on your face graceful...I'll never know!

Good thing for Facebook......

Or else I really would have fallen off the face of the earth this week... the only sort of 'human interaction' I've had all week is facebook messages with my new adopted brother.... and work where I get paid to talk to people... other than that, I've become a complete hermit. I've skipped institute, part of FHE, wings, and swimming to go to the gym and SLEEP!

I kind of like it!



So, My adopted brother. I've always wanted a brother... and well this guy has always wanted a sister, so it was like a match made in heaven! Last night when we were hatching out the details of what being a sister to a brother entails and what a brother to a sister's jobs are it got quite comical. My new brother is Tboy. He's awesome! He thinks his sister is supose to "buy him all sorts of crazy stuff" haha! and pretty much my brother just has to teach me how to lift weights, and beat up boys I don't like, and go on bubble tea dates with me! I'm not too hard to please. I think this is going to be R-A-D! I'm going to get "girl buff" have bubble tea dates, and have a personal body gaurd.... We're going to renegotiate MY requirements...cause I'm not buying him stuff all the time.. ha ha. I'll watch football with him, and tell him what crazy hookers to stay away from! it's funny cause all this was established thru facebook...ha ha!

I've always wanted a brother!! WOOOHOOO

Back to the Future thru Enrichment

So, as most of you know I'm the Enrichment Councillor in my Relief Society Presidency, and Enrichment is a chance for the women in the Church to get together and come unto Christ. So I have a pretty big responsibility that rests on my shoulders. We are encouraged by the First Presidency to hold ATLEAST 4 yearly activities, but may hold as many as we want. It's pretty hard in a family ward to get sisters together to do something every month, but have you tried getting a group of single young adult Women together on the same night? HA! It's almost impossible, so in our ward we've implimented serveral "mini enrichments" every month; may it be: book clubs, running, cooking, crafts, etc. That way you can choose what interests you and meet people with the same interests. It's a great tool, and so far we've had a huge success.

So along with these mini enrichments we've had we also have our Quarterly Activities where we try to involve every sister in the ward. We're a little behind and only working on our second quarterly activity for the year, yes you might say I'm a slacker, but I'm ok with this, we had a FANTASTIC March 17th Relief Society Party...where we gave the sisters tools to become 10 cow women(from Johnny Lingo) we had an amazing dinner and fabulous speakers. I wasn't really in any rush to top that off, and so I haven't......until NOW! My creative juices have been flowing for a few weeks to put together a 'back to the future' R.S Retreat, and the back to the future part is that we're going to be having a YOUNG WOMENS CAMP. In our church we have a program called the "Young Womans" program for youth aged girls 12-18. They hold weekly Mutual activities, they get together and go to the Temple, they do service projects and they meet each Sunday during the last hour and are taught my amazing women. Growing up I always looked forward to YW Camp for serveral reasons. 1. I'm pretty sneaky and always had something up my sleeve 2. it was always such a fun week during the summer 3. the food/activities were always amazing and 4. I learned alot of things that I wouldn't have learned any other way.

Since it's the beginning of the semsester we've had an abundance of new sisters move into our ward, and I think this will be a great tool for introducing them to our ward, and getting them out there. It will also give us as a presidency a chance to learn the talents and the strengths of sisters in the ward. I'm so excited. This Camp is going to include: Good food, 'old school' movie skits, crafts, pranks, good company, CAMP AWARDS and of course girl talk! I'm still trying to hatch out all the broad details to take to my Enrichment Committee, and I will definately keep you all updated on how this pans out. It's going to be Oct 16-17th at a Sister in the Family Ward's house. She's been so gracious to lend us her home.


If any of you have ideas' I'd love some feed back!

....The game is on......

I've been talking alot about getting in contact with a couple highschools in regards to coaching. WELL.... the GAME IS ON! I've finally got my lazy butt in gear and have made contact with...... well only one school...... but thats a start! I'll be coming in contact with a couple others about the possiblity of a coaching job. I'm excited, I have butterflies cause I'm nervous, I'm scared(highschool girls...nuff said).... and I'm just plain GIDDY!!!! I love basketball, and now that I'm an old washed up baller(not even) and can't play anymore, I might as well just do the next best thing and COACH!


Here's to playing the waiting 'game' now, and see what they say. Some highschools are very particular with who they allow to coach, and there always has to be a member of the schools faculity on the coaching staff, so chances are I'll be coaching with a teacher which is fine! The first school I've contacted is Ernest Manning, cause Kman and T-boy went there, and maybe if I throw their names around(cause they were big FOOTBALL STARS they might be more inclined to give me the job)
ha ha, I'll use them if I have too.. ha ha


Wish me luck!

Oh BOY!

Lauren had her baby yesterday and I'm sooooooo EXCITED!! I have yet to see pictures of the little man, he arrived a tad bit early. He wasn't due til the beginning of October, but came the day AFTER his baby shower! Lauren finished work Thursday and was hoping to have a good week or two before the baby was born, but Jaxson had other plans!

I am so excited to meet this little man. Both mom and baby are doing well, I'll post pics later once I meet him.


<3

Distraction.......

I most certainly am NOT!


Just because you can't multi-task, doesn't mean it's my fault.....

Dear Quality Boys:

PLEASE move to Calgary so I'm not single til I'm old and gray!

Sincerely;

Lachele

Whats going on Up there.....

Ok, So the other night I was having a 'heated' conversation with someone that is very close to me(which makes this even harder than it normally would be) But right smack in the middle of him ripping me apart... He calmly asked me:

"Lachele, What the heck goes on in your head?"

...Good Question...

What is going on in this little noggin' of mine?

**Disclaimer** I normally really dislike posting really personal things on here, because you never know who reads it, hence I'm sure a few of you will know that some of my previous debbie downer posts have been removed. I know I'm WEAK SAUCE! Sorry. I'll probably post this, vent...then return to delete it a few days later after I've cooled down,ALSO I've decided ANYTHING I blog about can't be talked about in real life. That's why I blog, so I don't have to talk to anyone about it :)

So.. Whats going on in my head:

.Why do people I trust have to be dick heads.
..Why am I so trusting in the first place..
...Why don't I make people WORK to be in my life, rather than WORK to keep them there...
....Why does everyone think I am "perfect and well-put together"....
..... Is there something I'm supose to be learning from all this balonga(sp) I'm going thru.....
...... Did he seriously just say that to me?......
....... How in the world did I ever think so highly of you......
........ How could I be so clueless, I saw the way you treated her, why did I think you WOULDN'T treat me like that........
......... I should just become a hermit to avoid all disappointment.........

Ha-ha! Well.... there you go. Thats whats been going on with me lately! I'm just trying to make sense of this all, and trying to piece together the puzzle and move on! It's hard. Considering I see said person a bajillion times a week between different activities I'm involved in. Who knew this could be so hard. I've been avoiding alot of things this week....

One thing I'm going to try and do better on is not letting other people determine my happiness. It seems like I let people do that to me alot....ie: Right now, because of above mentioned situiation I have been a little less than pleasant, quiet and very snappy lately.. Go Figure. hmmm.

I feel like I've been abandoned at the time when I need someone the most, and I've been hurt by those that I trust the most. So really who can I go to?

**A Note to the girl who was treated crappy before me, I'm sorry! I now know how you feel, and I bet this is bitter sweet for you. You're over it, and now you can laugh at me the way I laughed at you because I felt like I won. I'm sure theres already someone new laughing at me! Lets be friends and start an ANTI ### club :) ***

I've learned that I can never get to comfortable with the situations I'm in, because as soon as I become comfortable I let my gaurd down.... then thats when all hell breaks loose...

For here and now I will try and not let others determine my happiness, nor will I let ### get to me. I will hold my head up high and hopefully move on. I am thankful for the words spoken in the D&C that always make me feel better.


" This shall be but a small moment"

pretty little war wound

Ok, so it's not really little, or pretty... but I have a war wound. I haven't had a war wound since highschool!

I have this huge mark on my face right under my right eye. Monday night in game two of my tournement I got punched in the side of the face by a chick with a ring on, it had like 29 prongs(don't believe me...check my face) her ring got caught on my face, and ripped all the way down. The ref said "She didn't even touch you" you when I asked if she was getting a foul.... right after he said that my face started gushing blood. I have pictures on my phone, and I'm going to try and upload them to computer so ya'll can see the pretty little mark everyone STARES at.

Oh and a word to the wise-- It's so rude to stare at people you don't know-- especially when they have a mark on their face....

also...

It's rude to ask if " your boyfriend beat you" cause you got a little outta control.


Some peoples kids. Anyways, it's still pretty red, I keep putting oinment on it so it doesn't scab/scar to bad but I definately think it will leave a mark. Hey atleast we won that game right? And it looks pretty cool ;)


<3

Theyyyyyyyyyy're Back....and I'm excited about it!

-



Last night I watched the season premiere of the BIGGEST LOSER and can I just say that this is the only show after 8 seasons that I just can't get enough of, AND secretly I wished I weight 279lbs so I could become a contestant. ( But there's no way IN hell I will gain over 100lbs) It's always so funny to see who I click with. Last season I ended up clicking with Tara Costa. She was such a huge inspiration to me. She was a very pretty "fat" girl, but she's absolutely stunning now. If there's proof out there that it CAN be done. She is it!



I mean seriously! Look how gorgeous she is!

This Season I think I like Rebecca and Americas Choice Amanada. I was uber nervous last night for them, they just kept getting bumped down each time another team got on the scale, but by some saving grace they will be there next week! Which I'm super excited about!

Rebecca


Amanda



Both of them described themselves as "the fat girls, with the pretty faces" I can kind of relate to them. Over the last 5 years or so since school has ended for me, I've gained more weight than I've lost, some of it was due to unforseeable circumstances. Bob and Jillian yell at these guys enough to get thru to ME! I'm excited to see their progress over the next few months, as well as track my own.


One thing that scared me a little was that there first challenge they had to run a mile, and whoever got there first got immunity. TWO people got sent to the hospital after trying to go a mile, one woman army crawled across the finish line and then was life flighted out to a hospital for 5 days, and one man ended up in hospital over night. That is some SCARY stuff dude! Right now I've been in the habit of biking around 30 miles a night, but I use to run 6 and bike 15. I'm going to get back into that. Mixing it up with a little swimming. I never want to get to that point (not saying I'm even close) but between this show, and all the shows like it right now, it's safe to say I will be scared skinny!

Does anyone else want one of those 24 hour bugs they have? You wear it on your arm, and then it tracks your calories burned, you plunk in your calories eaten and at the end of the day you hook it up to your computer, and it tells you all you need to know! How freakin cool is THAT?!?

Just Soooo Sore......

It's been two and a half days since football...and I'm still sore. So sore I walk like a grandma...actually.slower.than.a.grandma.

Two of them just passed me on the main floor of the hospital I work at. One had a walker. I tried to take it from her.... Ok, so I didn't. It would have been funny tho. I probably would have gotten clobbered. She could move faster than me.

Then I saw a pretty nifty wheelchair, they have these things just layin' around the hospital to be used. Probably not by little complaining.babies. But by people who need them. Sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures.

Don't.worry! I wasn't T.H.A.T. Desperate.

However, tomorrow might be another story.

I have basketball tonight. I can barely walk. How am I supose to run?

This is how--->


...and...





ibprofen and icy hot rub will be how I will make it thru these two days tonight.

I know what you're thinking.

She.Is.A.Baby.

This very well could be true. But not right now. It hurts. Alot!

<3

The CFL called......

They want me.....

It's true. Calgary Stamps. Ask em Yourself!

I now have Merit to act like Kman. Life.is.good!

I was a little nervous that I was going to play football, I did stats for the highschool football team when I was in grade 11 and 12, but I've never played, and there's nothing NOTHING I hate more than playing something I'm good at, with people who suck.... So I felt bad for these boys, who had to play with me because Kman invited me.

Kman called me Saturday morning. I shook the pre-game jitters by shopping at the mall. Hey, a girls gotta do, what a girls gotta do...aight! I played the what if game...
-what if I suck.
-what if I get hurt and can't play basketball monday night.
-what if I'm so good I make YOU look like a tool.
-what if I pass out.
-what if I just don't want to play..

Kman's response: You won't suck, you'll be fine, no one can make me look bad, you won't pass out you're in good shape, please just come play..

So. I. Went. With. Mandy.

Apparently, it's not "cool" to be fashionably late to football, I got a 5 minute lecture how it's good to be on time.

So I was. He was LATE!

We picked teams, I was on T-boys team... Kman and BDTS(read previous post) were on the other team.
--Kman got the first TD :(
--I got THREE TD Oh HEEEEEELLLLL YEA
--I bailed a few times. Didn't hurt as bad as I thought
--I caught the ball everytime Kman told me I have sticky hands=good
--I tried my hand at QB Probably should stick to running the ball
--I got an interception.

** The boys didn't really take it easy on the girls, so I didn't do good just out of pity, I actually wasn't that bad. **

BDTS: Wow, Lachele you're alot better than I thought you'd be. I'm impressed. Very. Impressed. {He kept giving me compliments} I'll take em' cause I wasn't getting them from kyle.

My team beat his. T-boy and I definately Gloated. Turns out I'm not a humble winner either, and he's not the classiest loser. Looks like the Shoe is on the other foot now :) and it feels good.

Best news on all. I got invited to come back next week and play.

Just minutes after we finished, I started feeling all tight, and sore. Great. After my shower, it just got worse. After the Fireside walking in heels. Even worse. Today. Still sore. Yesterday I sneezed followed by a cry because it hurt so bad. Mandy is sore too. Kman and T-boy not so much. It was such a fun workout, I'm definately going back as long as they keep inviting me. I don't want to get TOO good, they might feel their 'manhood' being threatened. I hear guys don't like that.

Tonight is the first night of my Basketball Tourney, we lose we're out, we win, we advance and play later this week. For any of you who want to come out at watch, I play tonight at 8 & 9 at Mount Royal in the Kenyon Gym. It will be good times had by all. I'm confident we'll win.


<3

Can it get anymore awkward.... I think NOT

Sooo.... Mr.X asked me to play 'tennis' with him again this week.....
--Yeah.Right.
.So not going to happen.

So, Awkward award of the year goes to me. Like really, sometimes the things that happen to me, just aren't supose to happen in real life. I feel like a goober right now.

Here's a little preface to Saturdays situation..quite comical.for everyone.but.me.

August 27th(I remember this date because I was leaving to go to Taber for Cornfest) I ran home after work to grab my suitcase, and the last of my clothes out of the dryer when I hear a knock at my front door. I go and answer it.A guy is standing there.He stares at me for a second. THEEEEEN--

BoyDownTheStreet: hiyoudontknowmebutithinkyourereallycuteiwaswonderingifyoumaybeyoudliketogooutwithmesometime.--{he said it really fast with no breath inbetween each sentence.}
Me:Wow, thank you. But I have a boyfriend{not entirely false, kman is dating Mandy and I}
BDTS:ohyahthatmakessenseagirlascuteasyouwouldhaveaboyfriendhuhsorrytobotheryou {then he started mumbling about something he told my roomates one day,I didn't really pay attention.}

--I go on my merry little way,telling Mandy,Kman,and Allison about it (NATRUALLY)--

Soo now that there is the preface to the story:
Saturday Mandy,Sariah and I get to football(ONTIME...contrary to what Kman might say) and Kman was introducing everyone to us, lo and behold...WHO IS THERE? HA....BDTS..... G R E A T ....haha seriously... I never thought I'd see him every again, I had no idea who he was, I didn't know he was a member, I didn't know he was B.E.S.T..F.R..I.E.N.D.S with Mr.X..... HA HA...(yup this is seriously happening)

So... I hope he doesn't know who I am, but since he's clearly been watching me I'm sure he knows EXACTLY who I am... I avoid him. Pretty much stick to Kman like glue.Yup.I'm.a.baby! We play football(which I rock at, actually...that deserves it's very own post.cause.i.was.that.good!)

We played for about two hours...after football I left quickly with my girlies right behind me, we went home to shower before the adult session of stake conference...

S H O W E R I N G & G E T T I N G R E A D Y

We get to conference... I see Mr. X and BDTS sitting in the chapel, I grab Mandy and we go sit in the gym. phewf! Safe, Kman and T-boy get there....sit with us. Conference was great! I loved it. The Spirit was Strong... After it ended I was trying to get away real quick..didn't happen so well...

Approching...Mr. X and BDTS....

--Perfect--

BDTS: Hi Lachele, Wow you look alot different than you did at football {yeah, thanks I know I look like trash running up and down a field in +27} , You clean up nicely.....
Me: Thanks, I guess thats what happens when you take a shower, and straighten your hair.
BDTS: Doesn't hurt than you're in a dress and heels.... {HA!, Really}
Me: True....

I try grabbing Kman and T-boy so we can leave.... Mandy,Kman,T-boy and I left, Mr. X and BDTS came over to Mandys, we went to McDonalds.... pretty low key evening...

BDTS: So, is that tall blonde haired kid your boyfriend?
Me: Yes, yes and YES! ha ha {THANK YOU KMAN}

They left, and I went home to bed....

I never did see them at Stake Conference yesterday.
--- I'm not exactly sad about that either ---

Sister Daltons Fireside last night was sick. She's awesome! I loved it. I sat front row. I was early! Things are lookin up for me!


--Here's to Lachele and her Awkward Situations--
--- I have no one to blame but myself ---

---Ok, so maybe I am a geek!

My Celeb Out.......

I'm highly against cheating on a boyfriend, or husband....but if I were allowed one celebrity out.... it would be:



And since I'm not really FOR cheating I sure hope I don't get a boyfriend before Sept 18th because I JUST BOUGHT TICKETS TO KEITH URBAN!!!!!!


WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO I am soooo excited! Mandy and I are going. We got insanely good seats from a girl I Work with, that won tickets, and had already bought tickets. I'm so excited. I haven't been to a concert since November when I went to NKOB and that was sick......


<3

Until Today.....

Until today, I have made the conscious decision not to blog about any of my dating experiences. Well, i take that back,I did this once. But that guy was a definite loser and could have actually used that list to help in his quest to find his wife. So i hope he found my blog and read it. This guy....now thats a whole nother story....


So, It starts when I get this phone call from Mr.X....on a Sunday...

Mr X: Lachele, I think I'm going to take you out...
Me: ooook....{wtf...is that how boys ask girls these days? I know it's been a while...but}X: What day works for you....
Me: Tuesday or Wed
X:Ok, yah wed works.... lets go play tennis....at 6....
Me:sweet done....

monday passes, tuesday passes,wed comes...4pm,5pm,6pm.......still haven't heard from him.....

I call kman...tell him I get stood up....kman laughs at me.....thanks ky.

6:30.....Mr. X calls....
Mr X: where are you?
Me: Home....
Mr X: well get over to the courts....I've been waiting....

So I drive over there...strike 1.....

I get there...I pay..... Strike 2.....

We play... I win...he throws a temper tantrum......strike 3(only I get to do that)

--I beat him again....repeat of previous game....

Mr X: Well, before we leave do you wanna go look for a girl [... A GIRL...on a DATE!...]
Me: ok..... STTTTTTTRRRRRRRIKE FOUR!

we don't find girl....

So we go for dessert....

I have to pay for my own...cause I beat him..... haha....wow STRIKE 5....

I go home... THANK GOODNESS!!! I call Kman, tell him about my night...he laughs more!


--- needless to say, there will be no second date...he struck out on the first date enough for the second.....


Only things like this happen to me.....

<3 it...

Now, I'm not an expert dater by any means... it really doesn't take alot to impress me on a date... if you:
a. have something planned
b. can carry on somewhat of an interesting conversation
c. you act like a gentleman.... chances are I'll probably go out with you again.....

Boys When taking a girl out....here are a few pointers...most would call it common sense...but obviously not...

-Maybe pick her up...

-If you ask her out...you should probably pay...just sayin'

-talking about past relationships...probably not the best idea...

-Don't be whiney...

-Drive her home... again...common sense...

-Don't talk about your BURNING desire to be married. UGH...theres no better way to scare a girl!


haha.... ahhh

<3-- Mom now, maybe you know it's not ALL my fault for being single, you should really see what I have to work with here....

The little black box!

So my dad gave me a black plastic brief case last time I went home, and it's full of alot of neat things. I don't know much about my family on any end. But last weekend my dad gave me something that I've loved looking thru.

He gave me a box full of stuff from my Grandpa Wickens(who I never met, cause he died before I was born). I've read stories, looked at pictures(he was one good looking man) and got a little glimpse into the life he lead. Now I know why my Dad is such a good person, cause he was raised by good people. I miss my Grandpa and my Nana alot! I have the amazing opportunity to do their Temple work for them, and as I've been gathering names to do their work for them it's been fun to learn more about them. I've already got my Grandma Bigelow's name ready to take to the Temple and I'm really excited for the chance I'll have to do her work for her.

I'm grateful today for my family. I wish I knew more about my extended family on both sides, but I don't. I hope that I can be a good record keeper so my kids and grandkids will know about me and my parents. I also hope I get married and have kids before my parents die, so my kids will know them! (random....I know)

I love the Temple, and the work that it does to seal families together, and I'm grateful that I have the chance to be apart of sealing my family together for eternity.

Dear Blog,

I'm sorry I've been less than hysterical.....

I know it's out of my character.....

I will change this....

I've got some new material.... I think you'll like it.

I have this friend......

his name is Kman.... Nice kid.... I always have fun with him.... it's probably safe to say he could be one of my best friends. We tell each other everything....(yes, we have girl chat..but it's not called girl chat, he makes that very clear)

As I've gotten to know Kman, more and more of his true personality shines thru, he's a very shy person at first but once you get to know him.. you really can't keep him quiet(which is not a bad thing)

One of the many things I've learned about him as he's broken out of his shell...is he's SUPER cocky... and in his words:

" Lachele, you have to admit everything I'm cocky about in words, I can prove in actions."

This.is.a.True.Statement. He didn't need to state the obvious.

Tuesday night we went and got slurpees and then went to the church to play a little horse. He found my weakness and EXPLOIDED it. He knows I can't shoot right handed, so he was pulling out all the little right handed shots, to cheat and win...yes I said CHEAT! I only pulled out one left handed lay up on it, and he made it in.

Needless to say he beat me........twice........

His humble response: "Lachele, the only thing better than beating you at horse, is beating you T.W.I.C.E."

I my friends, am not a gracious loser... I never have been, and I probably never will.... between his unhumbleness, and my inability to be a good sport made for an interesting rest of the evening.....


He's awesome. I'm glad we're friends..... b.e.s.t f.r.i.e.n.d.s......

The Future.......

The last few weeks I've been looking all around for the perfect condo in CALGARY!!!
Thats right... Lachele is growing up.. and she's going to buy a condo(not right away, but hopefully within the next few years) I hope the prices are still good in a few years, I'm trying to get an idea of what I want, and where I want. I'm pretty pick right now.

.I've got a Vision.
..I want to pick the perfect condo, the perfect kitchen table, the perfect everything
...I want it all to be perfect...
....Chances are I'll be living in it after I get married....
.....If I ever get married.....

Here's to growing up!

Somethings Never Change.....

And, I'm so happy that some things never change... Last night I went to see the time travellers wife with one of my oldest and bestest friends ever Lauren. Her and I don't really see much of each other since shes gotten married, but I love her to death. It's been a while since I've seen her and well now she's married AND pregnant! She's one of the cutest little pregnant ladies I've ever seen in my life, and I just love how much fun we STILL have :) I didn't get any pictures last night, but I plan on hanging out with her again soon...we're definately not letting months go by until the next time we see each other!
--Last night we just laughed about old times,
--caught up on each others lives
--talked about funny things and laughed like crazy while driving...

nothing has changed. I remember when we both lived in Utah and she came up to Salt Lake to visit me, we hadn't seen each other in a good 3 or 4 months and she said:

"it's like nothing changes between us, no matter how long it's been"

She's such a fun friend, and I love her to death. I can wait to meet her cute little man in 4 weeks. She's going to be such a fun mom!



Me, Amber, Lauren and Andrea
