I'm definitely not. I love this time of year, but its hard to believe how quickly the calendar fills up. I have most of my shopping done, but there are still a few things I need to get. Up until now, my shopping has mainly consisted of ordering from Amazon...now I'm to the point that I <em>have</em> to venture out into the crowded malls! My goal is to have everything I need by Saturday...and then use the free time I have on Sunday to get everything wrapped! Wish me luck with that!<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I thought I'd pass some time with this fun Christmas survey!<br />
<br />
1. Egg nog or hot chocolate?? Generally I'd choose hot chocolate. I've tried doing egg nog on my own & it just isn't as good as when my mother in law makes it!<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Well, not having kids yet, this isn't really an issue...when I was a kid Santa presents were always unwrapped & set up (never in the boxes!). I imagine this is what we'll eventually end up doing!<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? Colored lights outside on our house, white on our tree inside!<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
4. Do you hang mistletoe? Nope! I don't think we need it! :)<br />
<br />
<br />
5. When do you hang your decorations up? This year we got started on the day after Thanksgiving, and finished with our tree about a week later!<br />
<br />
<br />
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? Hmmm...this is a tough one! Going by last year, I think it's got to be the prime rib that my mother in law makes...soooo amazing!<br />
<br />
<br />
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child? I have so many!!! One is definitely when we would do Christmas morning breakfast...every year my grandparents would come over & have breakfast with me & my mom, and then we'd finish opening presents. Also, having another Christmas at my dad's house was always awesome...he used to have 2 trees set up. One upstairs, one downstairs. We would do presents upstairs and then head downstairs for our stockings!<br />
<br />
<br />
8. What is on your Christmas Wishlist? this year it's pretty random! It includes: Fitbit Ultra, a new iPod, sleep mask, hot pads (since our sweet Bella pup has destroyed the ones I had!)<br />
<br />
<br />
9. Do you open a gifts on Christmas Eve? Not usually<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
10. How do you decorate your Christmas tree? We have a color scheme of gold, red & white. Lots of fun glittery ornaments, and we're starting to collect some special ornametns as well!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
11. Snow? Love it or dread it? Love it up until January! I <em>always</em> want a white Christmas!<br />
<br />
<br />
12. Real tree or fake tree? Fake tree...pre-lit. We used to do a real tree, but eventually the convenience of the fake one won out for us. We supplement the smell with my scentsy!<br />
<br />
<br />
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? How can I pick a favorite gift!? I really don't know!<br />
<br />
<br />
14. What’s the most important thing about Christmas for you? Time spent with family and friends. Remembering why we celebrate CHRISTmas at all!<br />
<br />
<br />
15. What is your favorite Holiday dessert? hmmm....good question. I don't know that I have a specific favorite that we always have...I really like trying new things though (both making & tasting!)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
16. What is your favorite tradition? For the longest time, we've had our stockings hung up all month long and every now & then we'll put things in them, like a little mid-month surprise! That's been a very fun tradition to have!<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
17. What tops your tree? a beautiful lit star<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
18. Which do you prefer: giving or receiving? I really enjoy taking time & finding the perfect gift to give people<br />
<br />
<br />
19. What is your favorite Christmas Song? Sacred - O Holy Night. Secular - Baby It's Cold Outside<br />
<br />
<br />
20. Candy canes, yuck or yum? Yum...especially the cherry flavored ones!<br />
<br />
<br />
21. Favorite Christmas Movie? Wow...a lot actually... A Muppet Family Christmas, Love Actually, Just Friends, The Holiday, The Santa Clause, White Christmas, Four Christmases, Fred Claus, Meet Me In St Louis<br />
<br />
<br />
22. What do you leave for Santa? Again...no kids yet, so nothing as of now!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
23. Do you have a Christmas morning tradition? Usually the pups wake us up bright & early. We go down for coffee & sticky buns. Then we do a little Christmas with just us & my mom. Our day always ends up being busy...my dad's in the middle of the day and then to my in-law's house for the evening!<br />
<br />
<br />
24. Do you prefer to shop on-line or at the mall? I usually end up doing a mixture of both! Online is much better when you know exactly what you want. The mall is perfect when you're just browsing & looking for something that catches your eye.<br />
<br />
<br />
25. Christmas letter or Christmas card? Cards...although I haven't done them in a couple of years.<br />

I love the change of seasons. Especially at this time of year...lately our weather has cooled off quite a bit, and I'm finally feeling that brisk, cool, winter is soon coming feeling. I love this side of the winter season. The best holidays of the year are coming soon, accompanied by increased time with family and more opportunities to draw inward and relax...renew oneself.<br />

<br />
Lately I've been making some changes in the way I live. Being more fluid in my expectations of myself, and remembering the 'big picture' more than the minute details I seem to always focus on. In the past, whenever I would take something on in life, I tended to go all out for a couple of weeks, then completely burn out, lose interest and determination, until by the end of about the third or fourth week I was back into my typical patterns, and the changes I'd been so gung-ho to make were distant memories of failure.<br />
<br />
I think the best example of this is my weight struggles over the past few years. I've never really talked about this, but I think it truly is best to get it out in the open. I know that others struggle with the same things, and yet there seems to be a stigma that still remains in our society where people are more than happy to talk about the changes they have made in the past, but you don't very often hear people discussing these things as they are experiencing them. The difficulties as they are being challenged by them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
This time, I've been truly making an effort to make life changes, and to do so at a more moderate pace, allowing for mistakes, set-backs and other things that just seem to come up. I feel like I'm finally making some progress in this area, but I really do struggle with focusing more on the true goals I have, rather than my picture of what those goals should look like.<br />
<br />
Ultimately my goal is to be healthy and strong, to nourish my body with the things I choose to put into it, and to find true happiness and contentment with myself. I know for a fact that I will not accomplish those things by only focusing on my changes in weight week to week, and by basing everything on my numbers for the week. Its so hard though to come away from that habit...it has already been so ingrained in me in my 25 years, I can only imagine how hard it is for others who are older than me and trying to make these same types of changes in their lives.<br />
<br />
I have been doing better and better with this - with making sure I get my workouts in, eating what I know I need to in order to correctly fuel & nourish my body. Every now & then though, like today, I revert back to my old habits, I focus so much on the fact that I didn't lose anything this week, and forget the things that I have accomplished.<br />
<br />
For example, this week I started working out early in the morning, before work - and I'm finding that I love it. It feels great to get an early start on my day, and I've been in a better mood for the rest of the day - quite a noticable difference! (just ask Justin)<br />

I'm feeling super strong in my workouts lately, lifting heavier weights than I ever thought I could and truly challenging myself. I even have the callouses on my hands to prove it!<br />

<br />
So I have to actively remind myself that, even though I didn't lose anything this week, I still didn't gain any fat. Even though my clothes frustrate me because I can't fit into probably 2/3 of my wardrobe, I have to remember how strong I'm getting - and I think most importantly, <em>these are going to be lasting life changes</em>. New habits. Those take time. So does breaking old habits. If I make these larger, most important changes, and allow for mistakes, cheats and days when I just plain feel like eating greasy chinese food & curling up on the couch, I can still feel content with the changes I make. I've found that I cannot operate in an 'all or nothing' type attitude. I just plain don't think its healthy or realistic. If I make lasting changes from within, eventually the outside will catch up.<br />
<br />
So, what about you, what changes are you struggling with?Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246413913334135006noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20884846.post-22739511409875630942011-10-18T14:01:00.002-06:002011-10-18T14:02:33.224-06:00crockpot turkey chili/soup recipeFor anyone interested in a really easy, healthy recipe for the meal photo I posted yesterday, here it is!<br />
<br />
<u>Ingredients:</u><br />
1 - 1 1/2 lbs lean ground turkey<br />
1 (15 oz) can black beans, <em>drained & rinsed</em><br />
1 (15 oz) can pinto beans, <em>drained & rinsed</em><br />
1 medium onion, diced<br />
1 can diced green chiles & liquid<br />
1 packet taco seasoning<br />
1/8 - 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper<br />
1 large can diced tomatoes, with juice<br />
1 bottle salsa, any type you like<br />
tomato or v8 juice as needed<br />
<br />
Okay...now for the insanely easy directions:<br />
<br />
Spray the inside of your crockpot with some non-stick cooking spray - makes the pot so much easier to clean up later.<br />
<br />
Place your diced onion, turkey, seasoning packet and cayenne pepper into the pot & stir them together.<br />
<br />
*Quick note on the amount of cayenne - I didn't actually measure how much I used, but I think it was roughly 1/4 tsp. I think next time I will be using even more than that to add some more heat. With 1/4 it came out pretty mild & at my house we like things <em>spicy</em>!!<br />
<br />
Add beans, green chiles, diced tomatoes & stir well to mix.<br />
<br />
Add as much tomato juice or v8 juice as you would like to make this a more 'soupy' consitency. When I made this I added one small can of v8 juice and mine came out more hearty & 'chili' like. One thing to note is that some of the liquid will absorb during cooking, so keep that in mind when you put any extra liquid in.<br />
<br />
Place the lid on your crockpot & turn heat to low for about 4-5 hours, or high for 7-8 hours.<br />
<br />
Once it's finished, garnish with some non-fat plain yogurt (or sour cream), shredded cheese, diced avocado, tortilla strips or whatever else you like.

No, I don't think it is stupid at all. On the contrary I think it is smart. In my opinion I think having sex as a teen is a little young, however my opinion is not right for everyone and its not going to stop any young men & women having sex. I think that given that fact it is absolutely 100% necessary for sexually active teenage girls to use birth control.<br /><br />Does anyone know your MySpace password? Wow, I didn't even remember that I had a myspace account. I don't even know the password, let alone anyone else!<br /><br />What are you thinking about right now? The book that I just finished reading - <em>World Without End</em> by Ken Follett. I'm so sad that its over, I absolutely loved it!<br /><br />Do you believe in love? Of course<br /><br />Did you mean it when you said "I love you" last? Absolutely - I mean it every time I say it.<br /><br />Do you wish your ex would just die in a hole? What ex? And who really cares anyway? I hope all my exes are happy in the life they are living.<br /><br />What is the latest you've stayed up in the past week? Hmm...Probably about 11:30pm.<br /><br />When is the last time you hugged someone? This morning I hugged my husband before he left for work & I hugged my puppy before I left!<br /><br />Are you nice to everyone? I'm not. I wish I were, but I'm not a perfect person.

(but the day isn't over yet!)<br /><br />Where did you get the shirt you are wearing?

Yes<br /><br />What song are you listening to right now? <em>Model Prisoner </em>- A song by Adam Pascal.<br /><br />Are you excited for anything? Definitely! So excited to move into our first house!<br /><br />Do you hate the last person you kissed? Why on earth would I kiss someone I hated? NO!<br /><br />Would you be able to date someone who doesn't make you laugh? No<br /><br />Would you say that you are emotionally strong? I think so<br /><br />Is there someone you'd really like to hang out with? Yes!<br /><br />Honestly, has anyone seen you in your underwear in the past three months? Of course!

It was called Worship '09 - and was put on by <a href="http://www.standingtogether.org/">Standing Together Ministries</a>. It was the first time my husband & I had been to a large worship event like that & we both left feeling so uplifted. It was basically a music event - a concert of sorts. Our very own <a href="http://www.olsenexplains.com/">Brad Olsen</a> from <a href="http://www.k2thechurch.com/">K2</a> began the evening with some wonderful worship tunes, including one of his own called "I Remember". What was truly remarkable was the fact that so many churches from around the valley had all come together to worship & praise the One who loves us all - regardless of where we fellowship each week. As the music began, I looked around & saw people from all walks of life gathered & lifting their voices & hands in praise of our loving God. It was moving - and amazing to be a part of such an event. Justin & I greatly enjoyed being with such good friends while we sang away! Blessings & love to you all!Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246413913334135006noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20884846.post-38017816907375840022009-08-14T16:19:00.003-06:002009-08-14T16:34:04.276-06:00Hubby TagI just found this & decided to do it for fun!

I actually think we're very evenly matched here.<br /><br />Who does the laundry? We kinda alternate...it depends on what else is going on that weekend.<br /><br />Who pays the bills? Me.<br /><br />Who sleeps in the right side? I do. Sometimes I switch it up on vacation & it freaks Justin out!<br /><br />Who mows the lawn? Ask me again once we have a house! :)<br /><br />Who cooks dinner? Me<br /><br />Who drives? Usually Justin. He used to hate my driving, but he's gotten a little better.<br /><br />Who is more stubborn? Haha, again we're pretty evenly matched here...makes our fights fun!<br /><br />Who kissed who first? Justin kissed me while we were laying on a blanket at Flat Iron Park - our second date!<br /><br />Who asked who out first? I asked him...he LOVES that! He added me as a friend on Facebook & after confirming that he wasn't a stalker, I asked him out for coffee on a Sunday afternoon!<br /><br />Who proposed? Justin- He proposed a few days before our 1 year anniversary. He took me to Flat Iron Park, where we had our first kiss, & we layed on the same blanket talking...then all of a sudden he asked me to stand up & as I did, he got onto one knee & asked me to marry him!<br /><br />Who has more friends? We have about the same...<br /><br />Who is more sensitive? Definitely me...I'm working on it though!!<br /><br />Who has more siblings? Him - he has one brother. Although if we're counting step & half siblings I have more - 6!<br /><br />Who wears the pants? Hmmm...well, I think he kind of does, but really we are a team...so maybe both of us??Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246413913334135006noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20884846.post-27885169574122726052009-07-30T19:03:00.003-06:002009-08-07T14:10:26.536-06:00Getting to know you...Alright, so I know its been a while since I've written anything on here, but in my defense, the last few months have been crazy busy.

Or maybe even several reasons. One I am sure of is that it brought me to the job I have now, which I absolutely love.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">I am working at </span><a href="http://www.phly.com">Philadelphia Insurance Companies</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"> - downtown. It is a commercial insurance company. Take a look at the website sometime...it really is an amazing company. Not at all like the typical mega-corporations that tend to run this country. So far I have been pleasantly surprised at all the people I have come in contact with, and really the entire feel of the company. From the way I am treated as an employee to the way Phly gives back to the community. I am an account representative which means I process a lot of requests that come in for submitting new accounts to be quoted and changes on existing accounts.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Wedding planning is going forward...after a bit of time off, I'm now in a rush to get save the date cards out! Also, during the 9 weeks I was out of commission, I got a lot of work done on our favors! I only have a few more to finish and then I can check one more thing off the list!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">And now I must be going, but there's just a small bit of what's been going on with me in the last little while.</span></div>Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246413913334135006noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20884846.post-67958069750089906432008-09-02T23:30:00.002-06:002008-09-02T23:51:23.736-06:00When it rains...<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Last Saturday night Justin and I were just coming back home to my house from a party and a trip to the grocery store at about 9:45 pm. We were just getting our puppy out of his play pen area he stays while we're gone. Justin was on his way out to the garage while I was going to take Buster outside to go potty. I started jogging to the door to take him outside and he ran under my feet, so I went to side-step but rolled my foot and fell off my shoe. I let out what I learned later was a 'blood-curdling scream' as I fell to the floor. Our poor puppy ran to the corner and laid down with his tail between his legs. While my wonderful fiance ran to get pillows to elevate my leg, an ice pack, and three ibuprofen to try to ease my pain. I knew almost immediately that something was broken and I needed to go to the emergency room, so Justin carried me to the car and we were off to Alta View. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">So, as it turns out my foot is pretty badly broken and I will be getting surgery on it either this Friday or next Tuesday. They'll either put in a screw or a couple wires to hook the bone back together. I'll be on crutches for at least 4 weeks, and this type of fracture typically takes 6 - 8 weeks to heal, so I'm out of commission for a while on this one! Feel free to stop by for a movie or something, anytime really, since I'll pretty much be here....I'm doped up on Lortab and its my right foot, so I can't even drive!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Really I'm lucky to have such wonderful family and friends who care so much about klutzy me! I love you all!</span></div>Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246413913334135006noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20884846.post-44931913249104556612008-08-14T15:53:00.003-06:002008-08-14T16:23:49.817-06:00<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">So a week ago Justin and I got back from our trip to California, which was awesome, by the way! The best part about it? While we were there, my mom, me and Justin's mom were able to have a girls day! We ended up going to a bridal boutique and I found my wedding dress!! I'm so excited. It is absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to get it! I ordered it and it should be here by the beginning of November, if all goes well! Unfortunately I can't post a picture because Justin does occasionally look at this blog, but if you want to see a picture of it, just email me and I'll send you the link to it! Its an Alfred Angelo gown, and just gorgeous! </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Also, we've booked our photographer (as of this morning)! Check out the website at www.pointedigital.com. I'm really excited about them doing our wedding! They'll be doing both a video as well as the photos! How fun. We will be having our engagements taken a week from Saturday, so it should be great!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Well, that's pretty much all for now, I think, and I'll post some pictures of things as soon as I can!</span></div>Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246413913334135006noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20884846.post-81721028611919677322008-07-21T15:48:00.008-06:002008-07-21T16:42:05.148-06:00The date is set!!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Hello again! I've decided I'm going to try to keep people updated on my wedding planning through this for now, so hopefully that will help me to write more often! Justin and I set the date, we'll be getting married June 6, 2009! Our celebration will be at <a href="http://www.millcreekinn.com/">Millcreek Inn</a>, which we are super excited about. It's about 3 miles up Millcreek Canyon, and absolutely beautiful up there! </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVg0q8FFDzD0BQRMb11DSOw0MBNKKvCM1eQnavXFUnRC4Id-LpqHzlkXZpJdbWD2vMfFmpW0wACNlB5LSRzbS_7Zcw0Vqrfj8aW8jHSkaPkV7HHZWtGKbT7smOLiOGlSwd-9So/s320/millcreek+inn.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225589050205265762" /><div style="text-align: center;">Millcreek Inn ceremony spot</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi93aRboQV2AaUAYXwPx_2Ilr_sgEdoHBPYZcUzoWyeQaGaAUmPMqLeVoWzkw92JNvU_tx18on-w6V5ZO-wqgMZqWq6T-Lh_-2yjllUrKEsnLpOW0rEDPvuYEbo3lnA40nchq2B/s320/millcreek+night.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225589642981626114" /><div style="text-align: center;">Millcreek Inn at night</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhln8etr58XcPsHQSy2_u0Oh1i1L5AvQ2z9vux_tioDZnAuDeSoXEtuiNuFLkF6WM4Tk6KcRhu30Wh8dLAfSK_J_CbNukTxsmaGQO_4S-7yJiaJTYmeQt89zsFL4JLfjAjilEFW/s320/bridal+path.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225600179044479650" /><div style="text-align: center;">Bridal Path</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">There is still so much to do, but its really so fun, and exciting!

I was at the coffee shop in Draper, right on 12300 S. so it was quite busy all afternoon. I wondered to myself if any of those people out there realize that they don't have to take care of things on their own...that God has it all under control. <br /><br />It was so great to get together with my friend Kelsea, we haven't really seen each other for a few months now. We had a very uplifting and strengthening discussion and I left feeling happy and confident. I can feel things in my life changing for the better. Its amazing.<br /></span>Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246413913334135006noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20884846.post-40720824784240561092007-10-28T23:06:00.000-06:002007-10-28T23:16:49.374-06:00transformations...<span style="font-family: georgia;">Have you ever had the feeling that you're falling and grasping out for anything you can hold onto? I've been feeling sort of like that lately, spiritually, although I no longer feel like I'm falling. I finally feel like I've grasped onto God's hand, and now I'm doing my part to pull myself up, even though I know that's not how it works. All I really have to do is trust God to lift me back up, and he will. So why is it so hard sometimes? There is always a reason not to trust in him....we think we can do life on our own...how wrong is that. I've come to realize that throughout the last two years. I'm finally to the point where I feel like I am constantly thirsting for more of God's love in my life, more of God in me. I love it. I have finally decided to trust in him alone. And its the best decision of my life.<br /></span>Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246413913334135006noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20884846.post-86415885848859430542007-10-03T23:09:00.000-06:002007-10-03T23:19:18.858-06:00<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">"The Lord says, 'I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.

Those in need. I know it seems like one can only do so much from here, in Sandy, Utah; however I really felt a passionate response in my heart for the children and people who are in need all over the world. Even within my own city. The church that we go to is called <a href="http://www.k2thechurch.com/hiband.php">K2</a>. We attend in a warehouse and praise God each week. For those who do not know a lot or anything about the organization, it is a non-denominational Christian church-not a religion. <br /><br />Tom Davis has written a couple of books, and because of his amazing, inspirational message to us last week, Justin and I decided to buy them. I am amazed by the people who attend K2, we went to the third and last service and one of the books was completely sold out...we had to be put on a waiting list, hopefully we'll get our copies tomorrow. <br /><br />We also learned about some service opportunities, one of which greatly interested Justin and me. Each summer K2 sends a mission team (sometimes two) to an orphanage in Russia. It is only two weeks long, but from what we have heard from people who have gone in the past, it is life changing and absolutely amazing. We set a goal for ourselves to learn some Russian this year (a doubly good thing, since Justin is half Russian!) and to save up money so that we will be able to go with K2 this next summer. It is not that much, but it would be something amazing to someone. An orphan in Russia. Any way that I can help the life of a child, from something so small as taking two weeks out of my year, I just feel I have no excuse not to do that. <br /><br />The website www.5for50.com, provides 5 simple things that <span style="font-style: italic;">everyone</span> can do to help the 50 million people around the world who are suffering and dying of HIV/AIDS. Please join, and at least pray or send out positive thoughts for those in the world who are in need.<br /><br />I know I am.<br /></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></span></span></span></span>Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246413913334135006noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20884846.post-18527117733741226472007-08-12T20:57:00.000-06:002007-08-12T22:00:26.681-06:00My apologies....<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">...for not writing as much now that I'm home! I've been meaning to post some more pictures and just catch up again with everyone, other things just keep getting in the way. For a prime example...just now...I was in the middle of writing this and got up and did a bunch of other stuff, like put away laundry and clean.... Back to real life, eh?<br /><br />I do have some news though, I just got a new job, and I start tomorrow! I'll be working as a part-time teller at the University of Utah Credit Union. I think it'll be a perfect job for me....and especially while I'm finishing school. In case you didn't know, I only have 2 more semesters left! I'll have my degree next spring! So happy.<br /><br />I do have more to say, but I definitely need to get to bed now, get some good rest before tomorrow!<br /></span>Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246413913334135006noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20884846.post-82972771199871469332007-07-25T16:15:00.000-06:002007-07-25T16:20:11.547-06:0025.07.07 London, England<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Hello again everyone!

We've had a fabulous time here in London, all 3 of us (me, my mom, Justin)....though I cannot speak for the other two, I'm very anxious and looking forward to getting home on Friday! 6 weeks is much much too long for me to be away! I'm looking forward to the strangest things....like doing laundry....this can't be healthy. Anyway, I most likely won't be writing again until I get home, but when I do write next, I'll be sure to post lots of pictures! Love you all! See you all soon!!! (except maybe Lacey and the fam....that may be a while yet :( ).<br /></span>Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246413913334135006noreply@blogger.com1
