A New Addition

I forgot to blog about my shoes I got the other day, and since my sister blogged about her new shoes I had to too. Our family discovered a new store, thanks to my sister Jamie that we go to a lot. ROSS!! We love Ross and I especially love their shoe selection. I have gotten a pair of high heels, 2 pair of boots, and these babies for only 12.99 might I add!!! I love it, however, somedays are not so good, but I still love it!

1 Month!!

I realized at work today that its only 1 MONTH till my BIRTHDAY!! I'm getting so old....23 in one month!! I just read my friends blog and she posted some stuff about her. So, I decided that every week till my birthday I will post 5 things about me. A long time ago my sisters and I made a list of 100 things about us. So I thought this would be interesting to see what has changed and what has stayed the same.

• I love love my family and even though I am an adult and only live 2 hours from my parents and 20 minutes from my sister I still get a little homesick. I always get homesick when I'm talking to my mom, sisters, or neices and nephews. That is why I will probably always live in Utah!
• I love love doing crafts. I could sit and do different crafts all day. Here is what I have done, quilting, sewing (I have been making purses and recently my roommate and I have made skirts. Which my mother would always say to us when we were buying clothes that she could make that, and after working at JoAnns I have realized that a lot of people make clothes and its not that hard). I have also scrapbooked, decorated, refinished, and a bunch of different stuff. I still want to learn how to reupholster, which my mother knows how to do so I will have to take lessons.
• I have to drink hot chocolate at least once a day. Durning the school year I only drink hot chocolate for breakfast every morning.
• I love cake decorating shows, and I want to take a cake decorating class so so bad! (i'm currently watching DC Cupcakes as I am typing this)
• I love reading, I especially love reading series. I could sit and read all day...ha ha well sometimes I do when I get really into the book.

Hopefully I'll remember to do this everyweek, since I'm not very good at blogging!

Love Them!!

Here are my favorite people in the world!! (well and my family also of course)
I love my nephews and nieces so much. They are so funny and they each have their different personalities that I love...I just had to blog about how much I love them, because I just got off the phone with Ofeina and she is so funny to talk to!!

A side note...school starts in less then a month and I'm getting very nervous because I'm going to be taking 18 credits!!! Pray for me and wish me luck..cause I'll need it!!

Purses

I've been wanting to start making purses and selling them. Of course while I'm at work at Joann's I always see cute fabric that would look cute as purses. So, I've started my collection of patterns and fabric.

Here are the first ones that I have completed. If you like them and want to buy any just email me at phatfarm_2006@hotmail.com or just leave me a comment on my blog. I'm going to be selling them for $30.00 each.

This is my experiment so hopefully it will go good and I can start making more. I have different patterns and fabric that will be made into purses that I can hopefully get done soon.

Sorry the pictures aren't very good. I am going to take them home and have my sister take some cute pictures of them when I can get them all done.

Movie Night!

Today I've been really sore from camping and I really wanted to get some of my purses done so I've been locked up in my apartment all day. I didn't even know it rained today until I had to open the door for someone and smelled the rain. (pathetic) Anyways I have 1 1/2 purses done. Anyways tonight we went to the movie, How To Train Your Dragon. I know I'm a little behind, but I'm cheap so we went to the dollar theater. They were even having a special with groups being only .75 cents. The movie was so cute and funny. If you haven't seen it you'll have to rent it. (aren't I getting good at blogging 2 days in a row!!) I'm going to work on purses all day tomorrow so hopefully I'll get done soon. Then I can post pictures and you can buy!!!

We Are Family!!

Its time again for our Meyer Family Reunion. So Friday we packed up and headed to Blanding. This year we were going camping and I was so excited, because we usually just set up tents in my grandma's yard. We got there ate and had a little program. It was fun this year because every family got a turn to talk about their family and what was going on in their lives. It was fun to hear all about everybody, since we have such a big family its hard to keep track sometimes.

Here is my Grandma and my Mom

Saturday was the fun day with all the activities planned. We got up bright and early, ate breakfast and headed up to the cabin. It is a really old cabin that we like to go up to. The last time we were there it was about 10 years ago and we got pictures taken in front of the cabin so we decided to do that again this year.

This is our large Happy Family!!

After the billions of pictures we had to take, those who wanted to hiked up to the waterfall. I remebered years back when we went that it was a steep climb so I opted to stay with the ones who didn't want to go.

Me and my lovely sisters

(Don't let it fool you this was the first day, thats why we look half decent)

When everybody got back we went back to camp, ate lunch, and headed off to dry wash. This year we rented kyaks and canoes, and they had a dock there that we could jump off of. It was so much fun, and I love when we get to go swimming with everyone. It started to rain on us so we ran to the cars and went back to camp.

My cute Grandpa and his dog Lady

We ate dinner and had another program. This time we had a testimony meeting. I think this is the first year we have had one and it was so good. Only a couple of people shared their testimonies, but the spirit was so strong. After that we sat around the campfire telling jokes and talking.

Jamie and I

(another first day)

By the time it was time to go home I didn't care how

I looked so I'm glad I don't have any pictures of that!!

I love our family reunions and family get togethers. I love my family and am so proud of the heritage that we have. Thanks to everyone who put it together, and who went. Hopefully those who didn't make it can definately make it next year. I'll be praying that its another campout, because those are the funnest of all!!

Starting Fresh!

I haven't blog for a long time because, #1-I was going to start again after my apartment was decorated and then #2- When I got my purses done so I could sell them. Don't worry I am still going to post about these things, but currently our apartment is dirty and I have only finished 1/2 a purse!

Since I haven't blogged for a long time, I'll let you know whats been going on in my life! I am going to school, working, and doing homework. I am going to summer school which is done in 3 weeks. I am still working at my favorite place, and hopefully will someday own my own fabric store. I'm still working on my dad buying a fabric store for me when I graduate. (Hopefully in a year!).

I love who I live with and finally have an apartment that feels like home (pictures soon). I love love decorating, and my sisters and mother have gotten into taking D.I. furniture (which is cheap) and making it so cute!

I love my life...and don't worry I'll try to post a new post at least once a week! Here are some things to look forward to, purses, apartment, and FAMILY REUNION!
