Next we went to a football game at SDSU stadium. It was free hat day. When we arrived they just run out of hats at our gate so we went to the next gate, as we walked up they gave out the last hat, oh no... so we rushed on and finally arrived at a gate with hats. Here we are celebrating our free gift.<br />

Last weekend was our branch camping trip. Since I just didn't get enough camping in this summer I decided I just had to go. After work Friday I met up with my friends Kendra, Ryan, and Amber and after a quick bite we headed up to the camp ground. Our trip up was lots of fun chatting and singing along with the radio! When we arrived we used Kendra's lanterns and put up our tent. We've got skills. Here's Ryan, Amber and I with the finished product.<br />

My roommate Tamar and I looking campy hoot! Hanging out around the fire was great. That night was extremely cold! Even with 3 pairs of socks, leggings, sweats, long sleeves, a sweatshirt, and my head covered, I was still super cold and didn't get much sleep.<br />

We went through many costume ideas but finally settled on vampires. I went and bought capes, make up, and teeth. During lunch I busted out the make up and helped make everyone look scary. Marlou made it clear she had never dressed up in the 6 years she has worked at our facility but was willing to do it cause she knew it meant a lot to me. Love that they were all willing to indulge me. :)<br />

It took FOREVER to get downtown including 2 buses, lots of walking, and a potty break but we finally make it. The costumes were AMAZING! Here's some of our group with some particularly awesome ones, Marie was the girl from Brave (her costume was amazing), Nick and Justin jumped in there too.<br />

Nick even met his possible future bride while we were waiting for the bus. We ended up taking a cab home so we could get a bit of sleep before work the next morning.

As a single person I really wasn't sure if I would carve a pumpkin this year. So when FHE was announced as a pumpkin carving I was in. I decided to go wild and try doing something different than my typical jack-o-lantern. First I picked a pattern of a haunted house..but as I went to tape it to my pumpkin a friend came by and, having experience with such patterns himself, helped me pick one that would be easier. I chose a scary eye ball. Honestly I was a little skeptical about using a pattern and if it would turn out as expected.<br />

After one of the best rides on tower of Terror EVER, we headed over to check out the new cars land. It was my first experience with it and all I can say is If you haven't checked it out yet, DO IT! It's amazing . The decore makes you feel like you are really in the movie!<br />

Last Sunday I was chatting with my friend Allison. I mentioned that we should really plan a trip to DL sometimes soon so we could see the fall decor. She told me that she and some friends were going that Tuesday and invited me to come along. This was no ordinary trip to DL, this was the special Halloween party where you trick or treat and wear a costume. I immediately decided I was in.<br />

Last weekend my Mom came to visit to watch my nephew in his first primary program. I didn't know she was coming until Thursday and by then, being the social butterfly I am, I already had plan for the weekend. Luckily, however, my Saturday night plans fell through and I got to spend the evening with my Mom, my brother and his family. Here's my Mom and Benny ready for a walk.<br />

Last weekend a couple of friends and I went hiking. Now I know I live in LA...which doesn't really seem conducive to regular hiking, but it turns out it's not as hard to get out into nature as one may think. I looked up some local hikes and we headed out to experience the adventure. The trail was BEAUTIFUL.<br />

On the way back I decided to start running. I tried to get my friends to join me but they refused...luckily there were 3, 20-something year olds hiking behind us who decided to join me. I ran about half way and then walked the rest, I couldn't risk them not feeling manly after deciding to run up the hill to impress me. It felt great. Then I waited at the top til my friends arrived, jokingly huffing and puffing to tease me.<br />

Awhile ago I got a text from my Aunt asking me to send her a photo of myself doing something I love/ representing where I'm at in my life today. So last since I don't have many pics of just me and I've really been getting focused on getting fit. In May I started taking private yoga lessons from this lovely lady Amber (<a href="http://www.kickstandfit.com/">http://www.kickstandfit.com</a>) and I am amazed at the progress I've made. She is a very patient and knowledgeable teacher and has helped me to progress beyond anything I ever thought I would be able to do! So since I've come so far I decided to send a photo of me doing yoga. As I was going through the photos I was reminded of the scene in movie "while you were sleeping" where Sandra Bullock goes to Peter Gallagher's characters apartment and finds his mantle is filled with photos of himself...so I just want to reassure you my readers that I do not, I repeat I DO NOT, have any of these photos printed or up in my apartment. :)<br />

I decided to go home for conference this year to visit my parents and join in the Griffith family festivities. On Friday night my bestest friend Hill and I met up and drove home together. It was so great that we got to catch up and we didn't have to drive alone. The best of both worlds. I spent Saturday with my parents on the ranch. I LOVE fall on the ranch. Then we headed down to Santa Maria to join the Griffith women for our traditional conference girls night. It was so great to catch up and enjoy each others company.<br />

This little lady was the highlight of our annual girls night. Ava (my cousin Tiana's girl) is a little DIVA! It's good to know the rising generation of Griffith will include dramatic, fun, and adorable women. We became instant friends and bonded over our love of sweets, hip hop music, and being girlie. LOVE HER!<br />
The next day we went over to Aunt Lisa and Uncle Joes to watch conference. My Mom and I made some delicious fruit dips for snacks during conference. So good.<br />

After conference we played some games (another Griffith tradition) and enjoyed the beautiful Santa Maria weather. Turns out this horseshoe like game is really my game. I actually did pretty well at in spite of my loack of hand eye coordinate. Josh and I were the team to beat.<br />

About a month ago when a friend approached me about attending a midsingles conference in Las Vegas...I thought. Why not? Who wants an excuse for a weekend in Vegas more than a bunch of 30 something-ish Mormons? So my roommate and I requested time off and started getting pumped for our trip to Vegas. We got up early Saturday morning and headed out. :) After meeting together for a keynote speaker we were off to this amazing resort called "Pirates cove" for a fun filled day of mingling, Sunshine, water-sliding, and getting our flirt on.<br />

On the way to church this is the temp. Gotta love Vegas. Church was amazing. Our speaker who is a bishop of one of the midsingles wards in So. Cal gave a list of top 10 reasons why men aren't married in the church. I took notes and here it is: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
10. I haven't met a spiritual Angelina Jolie Look-a-like with a trust fund yet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
9. Marriage would cut into my world of war craft/D&D time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8. I'm barely able to make a living/support myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7. My one true love is married to a dentist, has 3 kids, and is living in Utah.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. I've already been married and right after the reception she turned into the wicked witch of the west and it will take an act of congress to get me to do that again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. None of the woman I want to date, want to date me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. I don't think I can have a successful marriage due to my accumulation of spiritual baggage throughout my lifetime.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. My parents are divorced and it scares me. I don't want to put my kids through that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. My siblings are married and they have problems in their marriages (which they tell me about) and thier kids are brats...it doesn't seem worth it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. I'm scared of failure. I don't want to make a mistake. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His advise was to A. Go home take off your shirt and look in the mirror, B. Repent it works to get rid of baggage, C. Date, D. Have a little faith you'll be blessed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hopefully the men will take this under advisement....I know I'll be thinking of this list. </div>

As we approached California and home I can definitely say that we had some good times, met some great peps and have some funny stories to tell (ask me sometimes about Uncle Joe look-a-like, aggressive woman, and men who scream). All-in-all a great time...but I think it's time for me to take a bit of a break 4 conferences in 4 months = burn out. :)Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16127837837671497990noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670936532019706134.post-3490373639874753812012-09-16T23:45:00.000-07:002012-09-16T23:45:02.792-07:00My favorite boy is 4!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Benny is such a cutie!!! Can't get enough of that smile. When I told him to smile for the picture he smiled and said "cheese Daddy"....I guess we know who takes most of the pictures of him. I love that he looks like a cartoon character in this pic.<br />

Last weekend I went down to San Diego to spend Labor day weekend with my sister (and her hubby). We started out the weekend right with some Friday night YOGA in her living room and girl talk with our friend Mary who was also in SD visiting. Our Friday night YOGA session revealed that I can now do a hand stand! I've been working up to it and now I can do it! Woot, woot! Saturday morning after homemade waffles we headed to the beach.<br />

On Sunday I went to church with B & C. Turns out everyone in SD thinks SD is utopia. It's a great place don't get me wrong...but it's still a city. Honestly attending a family ward full of people I don't know taking about their families for 3 hours, it made me grateful for my mid singles ward. It's a great place to be when you're mid and single....better for the soul than a family ward. Here's B and I in our Sunday best. After church we played games just like we did growing up. Good times.<br />

After our hard work panning for gold we went and got fresh tortillas made by this woman right there. They make fresh tortillas in many flavors: chocolate, cinnamon, strawberry, flour and corn. They are 2 for $1 and they are pretty much the best thing that ever happened to me. I was in LOVE.<br />

Yesterday I was our branch surf day. I must admit I went with a bit of apprehension....you see I'm not very coordinated plus there was the idea of being in a swim suite in front of my entire branch. I know big shocker. But I was willing try since I love pretty much EVERYTHING related to the ocean. <br />

Here I am after surfing all morning. IT WAS AMAZING! I can't tell you how much I loved it. I was actually able to stand up the first wave I surfed. It took me awhile to get the hang of things but by the time it was ready to get out for lunch I was catching more waves than not and able to stand for a couple of minutes. I was super impressed with myself and had SO MUCH FUN...I didn't want to stop. I credit my success to doing yoga for the last 4 months and the amazing men from our stake who came to help teach us.<br />

My friend Amy came into town for the weekend and we got to play! Our group were the only ones that stayed until the bitter end which meant we were able to be in the water all afternoon broken up by short rest breaks where we were laying in the sun and entertaining each other. On our way home we went to cafe rio for dinner.

The dirt dance floor had lights strung above it and we had a blast square dancing, line dancing and getting our grove on. We danced our buts off and looked oh so country while doing it. I had a blast getting to know new peps, flirting with men & giving out digits, and kick'n up a cloud of dust with my new boots.Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16127837837671497990noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670936532019706134.post-46250600991165269522012-08-22T21:18:00.003-07:002012-08-22T21:19:30.251-07:00Making life fun...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last week at work we had Luau day. We were supposed to come wearing Hawaiian garb. I sported my sarong and even danced at the luau they had for the residents, they loved seeing us all in our garb and dancing so it was was worth it. We were all also asked to bring a dish to share for the pot luck. I brought a salad since I knew I could eat that at least. Here's the spread in all it's glory.<br />

Recently for FHE we took a hike behind the observatory. It's been so super hot lately so we didn't start until 8 pm. It a great hike and I've gotta be honest it felt pretty good to be one of the first to the top and not even get out of breath! The view from the top was amazing as you can see from the pic above one of the peps from my branch took. We stayed up on the top talking and enjoying the view for quite awhile. Here I am chill'n with some of the girls from my branch. I love that I looks so tan...even if I don't really look that tan in real life. Turns out people there's lots of outdoorsie things you can do...even in LA. I'm LOVING being out so LA.<br />

On day 2 we arrived in time for lunch looking fab. The day consisted of lunch, work shops, a service project and dinner before a really great game!<br />

The game we played was "the life sized game of life". It was amazing! The peps that planned it did an amazing job of involving everyone and helping us get to know each other. We started out playing a game to decide what degree we would obtain. I got my MD. Then we had to make a paper air plane and fly it to see how much money we would make. Mine, according to a guy I met, looked like a 5 year old made it...if he hadn't been shamelessly flirting with me during that convo I would have been offended. After our salary's were determined we split up to our assigned rooms to get matched. We each got a slip of paper with a word on it and had to find our matching member of the opposite sex who had the match to our word. I was frame and my match was picture. It turned out my match was the co-chair of the conference for Irvine. He was a nice guy and also an MD. We chose to live somewhere wild like the midwest. We had one son & a condo not to bad. During the game we played to determine our other blessings and trials in life I kept teasing him that he he was my "baby daddy" since we weren't married. We had a good time and ended up getting 3rd place in the game. We each one a $10 gift card to in and out. Good times.<br />

When we payed off our debt we make 315,000 per year....pretty sweet deal even if it was only fake life. The game was great and I had so much fun meeting new people and flirting it up.<br />

Last weekend I went to a Singles conference in orange county. This conference was difference than ones I've attended in the past because it was for all single people from 30 til death. I was a little nervous but there was a promise that activities would be separate activities for the midsingles , so I decided to give it a try. When I arrived on Friday there were only a few people there and most of them looked over 40. Luckily I spotted my Friend Austin who grew up in Paso and came down from northern California for the conference. I didn't know she was going to attend so it was a pleasant surprise. I ended up spending that evening meeting new friends and had so much fun. Saturday was workshops, beach time (I love swimming in the ocean and getting my tan on), and a dance (divided by age thankfully). I got to get my groove on with some of my trek friends (pictured above-love Mona and D) and my bestest friend Hill and met some new friends too. Sunday was church, dinner and a fireside along with meeting more new peps. Yes I got hit on by a few older guys...but I also got hit on by some younger ones too...overall a much more pleasant experience that I originally thought especially since I was flying solo for most of it.Sometimes the amount a rock being a mid-single surprises even me.<br />

I haven't been to Disneyland in the Summer in my working memory. My parents always took us in the off season and since I've started going without them I always go when school is in. Well last Thursday I took the day off to go to Disneyland with my BFF, Myriah (who flew in from Chicago), and her family. We've been BFF for quite a number of years now and we've never been to DL together so I thought it was time. The day started out great with a gift of a friendship bracelet Myriah made herself. She made her 4-year-old niece a matching one too so we took a triplet photo.<br />

I kept teasing Myriah that she was simply a tourist at DL while I myself am a local I kept telling her what which things only tourists did and locals avoid. In the afternoon, We went on a pirate ship ride around Tom Sawyers island...I've never done it before...it's a touristy thing, but I must admit I did enjoy the sunshine on the deck .<br />

I saw these 2 twins who had to be like 60 dressed exactly alike and at Disneyland alone (no kids/grandkids or husbands). I love weirdies like that. I'm sure that will be me in 30 years...supposing I can get Hill or one of my sisters to dress the same as me.<br />

A few weekends ago I was able to get off early on Friday and and head home. This is the first time I was able to go home for the weekend for the first time since Mothers day. Turns out that same weekend my cousin Ross and my Aunt Debbie also were visiting the fam. We spend Saturday evening out at the movies and then home for visiting and the Olympics opening ceremonies!</div>

Saturday morning we were up early to head to PR for a day at the fair! Here's Ross rocking out to my I-pod getting ready for a fun filled day at the county fair.<br />

Ever since Ross was a little boy I've called my my Poopsie. It started with the line from Little Murmaide where Ursula calls her eels "my precious little poosies" I would say that to Ross when he was sad and he would always laugh. The nickname stuck and we still call each other Poopsie! Here we are ready to spend Saturday at the fair.<br />

After looking in the buildings and making some purchases we headed back to the ranch for a BBQ. Ross and I had fun making watermelon smiles.. :) We ate, we played games, we teased in true Griffith style. Good times. The next day was waffles and a walk with the parents, church with my 3rd ward peps, and dinner at Grandma Donas with the fam before heading back to So. Cal for work on Monday. Such a great time.Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16127837837671497990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670936532019706134.post-39650685410443067322012-08-07T23:07:00.001-07:002012-08-07T23:07:07.017-07:00Some goings ons...<div class="MsoNormal">
