Truer Words Were Never Spoken

"A true friends knows the song of your heart and can sing it back to you when you've forgotten the words."

- someone whose probably a good friend

" Laughter is the quickest way to a vacation"

- a Presbyterian church sign

" Be the changes you want to see in the world"

- a stake conference in Rexburg

"Edify means larger, to be made better, which may not always feel good but will ultimately be for your good"

-general conference Oct 2008

" Don't count days only moments" " It doesn't matter where you go but whose beside u that counts"

- someone sentimental

" The hand that gives often receives much"

- Presbyterian church sign

These next two I've decided are very appropriate for where I'm at in my life right now!

"one step at a time, there's no need to rush. It's like learning to fly or falling in love. It's gonna happen when it's suppose to happen, and we find the reasons why, one step at a time!"

- it's a song :)

" Enjoy the Journey" - Me!!

???????

My 411: I'm the last of three and the only girl. I'm also the only single one left! I'm 22, born in sunny Riverside Cali, but moved to Idaho my 1st year of mai maids soooo like at 14. Still miss Cali but in Idaho you actually experience seasons rather than just learn about them! Summer is one of my faves cause I love to be out on the water boating, tubing, and jet skiing! :) I serve on the activities committee and welcome any ideas!! I'm really close with my family, i treasure good friends and believe whole-heartily that laughter is the best medicine. Fav shows/ stations include Fox News, HGTV, Food Network, The Office and yes American Idol ( I watch it with my Grandma unless she's on a mission and then i just tell her about it). Something true and slightly Interesting: My father is Samoan/Hawaiian. However my skin doesn't quite tell the tale. I definitely have a white MAMMA!

Thanks for stopping by!! :)

No I don't just like to look at all the pics of me, there is actually a story with these so bare with me. There is a long, standing picture frame at my mother's containing mostly pics of couples. Beginning at the top there's my grandpa and grandma Pallesen's mission pic ( love them bunches) then there's my oldest brother and his wife followed by my second oldest brother and his wife. Here's where things turn.... at the bottom.... i sit alone with a big ? as a family joke!! I actually disagreed with my mother on taking these ( really we should put a pic of my little puppy in there until there's really something different that makes a new pic, picture worthy!) But in the end the weapon that has no match, her sweet motherly reason, won out and I came back from rexburg with a smile for her!! :)

Meg Pie!!

She's gorgeous, she's sweet, she's 11 years younger than me and yes ALMOST as tall. She's just one of my adorable cousins! Watchout Boys this Beauty ( in 5 years, when she's 16) will no doubt be a heartbreaker!

Belli Belli BelliBoo!!

Belle: french for beautiful.

Belle (My definition!) Adorable, cuddley, high maintenance, soft, perfectly petite, frustratingly toddleresk, loving while maintaining her " It's all about me" tude!

Halloween! A Little Sweet And A Little Scary!

What a Crowd! We have Tom Sawyer, an investigator ( clearly comfortable and hungry in his own skin) and superman, eating up the sweets playing doughnut on a string. I bet they're dying for a huge chug of milk about now! Then there's poor sean who can't get over the past and Denise, who although her intent is to be a bad fairy, is actually just cute as a button!!

Watch Out for Angela!

It takes a Real Woman to allow others to see her true self!! Visiting my niece in Rexburg. Not much of a Tom and Jerry chase when the mouse is bigger than the Kitty Cat.

Mrs. Weasley is appropriately dressed for a Harry Potter Halloween Party. Honestly don't know about Minnie Mouse?? Should we all be worried she's turned REBEL? Has she separated from Disney and broken Mickeys heart? Traded a bicycle built for two in for a solo Harley D.? Or did i just have one costume and found out about the theme too late? Hmmm what do u think?

Miss Institute Pageant Fun!

The Most Handsome escort there, and he just happened to mine!

Too bad we're cousins and I'm not just a wee bit younger. . . . like by more than a decade!Thanks Michael! You were the perfect little Gentleman! I Love you bunches!!!

Yep, Katie and I really did slap on our brightest swim suits, swim caps, goggles and go flailing about on stage for the talent portion. Our Waterless Synchronized Swimming wasn't so synchronized! But hey, if you can't laugh at yourself then you'll miss out on some of the best laughs of your life!! : )

Thank the Heavens for good friends that you can be a fool with!! Thanks Katie for the laughs!! We rocked the pageant!!

MC in Banana suit!! I don't know his name but he's cute and funny ( with some awesome dace jives) and that's all I really need for memories!! : )
