I have really gone through sooo much in the last few years that all I can do is be positive and find happiness, even in the rough times.. I really know without a shadow of a doubt that God knows all of us and knows what we can handle and what experiences will mold us and change us.. I cant even believe how much I have changed and become the Heather I love to be.. I have found a wonderful church that I feel so comfortable in and know that God is present and listens to every single prayer and need i have... I have such amazing friends and family members!!! And I have the most amazing Daddy in the world!!! Recently his life has been turned upside down and yet he still presses forth and is trying so hard everyday to regain his strength to come back home.. This man has really had a rough life all in all.. And I am sooo very proud to be his daughter and really see what kind of man he is.. I really didn't know my dad as a child and I am sooo grateful that we reconnected and can now enjoy each others company... I cant wait until he comes back home and gets feeling 100%..<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TLKwemGUglI/AAAAAAAAAIA/wYPJyu-XfDo/s1600/heat+dad.bmp"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TLKwemGUglI/AAAAAAAAAIA/wYPJyu-XfDo/s320/heat+dad.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526673732406641234" /></a>Heathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07119318810623589334noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077967542777235029.post-37715463888775825972010-09-15T17:29:00.000-07:002010-09-15T21:53:05.299-07:00Life, in the fast lane!!!Life in the fast lane is just AMAZING!!!!!! I can't believe how amazing my life is... I have such amazing people in my life.... And I could not be anymore grateful.... Back to life in the fast lane.... It's true I tell you, my life is in the fast lane 24/7... BUT I would not want it any other way... Now, don't get me wrong I love love love my days of just relaxation and being lazy....
<br />
<br />So... with that said.... Here is a little piece of my life in the fast lane.... Sunday morning was going as usual... Nothing out of the ordinary and nothing to really write about... Until.... BANG....CRASH....BAAAANNNNGGG.... Oh my heck, I didn't know what had happened... I was scared to death to go even look, but forced myself to do so.. And what I found was not exactly what I would call exciting... My dad, had fallen down the stairs... He was completely out of it and would not say a word or even look at me.. Of course, I was freaking out and called for Renae to come help... Thank goodness for her and how calm she always is when things like this happens... My dad finally came to it and slowly made it to his bed.. He honestly seemed like he was OK.. I didn't feel like he was hurt much at all.. Boy was I wrong... SOOOO WRONG.... Monday evening I got a call from the guy that brings him home from daycare.. He said my dad was acting extremely strange, that he did not eat all day and was very very out of it.. I quickly ran home to find out the my dad was sure enough not his usual self.. Off we went to the ER... Roz, rode up to the ER with me.. Thank you Thank you Roz for being up there with me... And Thank You NAE for bringing us food :) I am really soo lucky for all the amazing friends and family who are always there for me!!
<br />After several tests and a few hours in the ER, we were told the my dad will be admitted to the hospital and that his brain was bleeding.. This whole time I am just thinking how grateful I am to that man who told me how strange my dad was acting... And for Nae and Roz for such good advice to take him to the ER...Of course I would of still taken him to the ER but maybe just not as quick as I did..
<br />As of today, the nurses tell me my dad is in ''stable condition'', whatever that means.. He seems to be more alert and upbeat.. Certainly, not his usual self but hopefully getting there in the next few days...
<br />The amount of support that I have had is beyond measure!!! Between hundreds of texts a day and several phone calls a day I know how much my friends and family care!!! Its amazing!!! I have felt the love and prays like no other!!!
<br />Its amazing how much "spice" I can bring to some one's life.. Roz was telling that night in the ER that I have brought so much spice and life to her own life.. And I sat and thought how true that is... I really do have a crazy life that never seems to have a dull moment.. BUT... I would never want it any other way.. And I hope to start my life with that amazing man out there that can love the crazy as much as me :) I am sure he is out there :)

<br />
<br />
<br />So... All I ask is your prayers!!! We truly know the blessings that come from prayer. I have no doubt in my mind that God is watching over us and knows what is best.. Gods knows how much stress and trials we can handle at any given time.. Life is what you make of it, and I got this... I can sooo handle everything God brings my direction, because I know that blessings will come from it :)
<br />
<br />Aside from all the trips to Ogden Regional; I promise I do have other things to share :) So thanks for hanging on and reading a bit more about my Crazy but super fun Life" :)

Except when you have a broken down vehicle and a horrible roof inspector!!!<br />Lets begin with the broken down vehicle!!! As most of you know, I just bought my Durango back in January. I honestly thought the guy I bought it from was very honest and trustworthy. Needless to say everything he said he had fixed or replaced on the Durango was clearly NOT fixed!!! And that is where I begin; on my way to work (sure seems like my trouble always begins with going to work, that has to be my sign) and needed to stop at the bank for some lunch money. As I was approaching the intersection by Harrisville Wal-mart I went to turn on my radio (I needed to jam out) and the darn thing would not turn on. I just figured it was a blown fuse or something small. Heading down washington ALL and I mean ALL my warning icons came on. The Airbag, Security, Check Engine and so on...... Oh my goodness I knew we had problems, but again just kept on driving...... As I am pulling into the bank I could clearly tell that my battery was having some major issues... I pulled up to the ATM, did my business as usual and pulled away.. No more than 100ft my car stalled and completely dead!!!!! Oh my gosh talk about embarrassing!!!!! I kept praying, "Please God let my car start, at least to just get me out of the parking lot and on to the side of the street so no one can tell I have car problems". Did work as I wanted and there I sat, right in the middle of the exit turning lane!!! I didn't know what to do!!! Who do I call???? Its 6:45am!!!! Thought about calling my road side assistance, or a guy friend (but didn't want him to think I was using him, considering I hadn't accepted a date from him) and then I thought all I need is a jump, hello not rocket science!!! I immediately called Renae; who was getting up for work anyways, and minutes later she came to my rescue!!! What amazing people I have in my life!!! A huge thank you goes out to Roz and Joel Nerdahl, for helping me with my car and getting it back to its tip top shape!!! The Nerdahl's are amazing people and have such loving hearts!!! I am very lucky to have them as neighbor's and friends!!!<br /><br />Now, on to this roof business!!!!! What a joke that has been!!! I honestly didn't know owning a home was such a pain in my back end!!!!! I mean really, who wants to deal with a ridiculous roof inspector!!! Certainly not ME!!!! They call him the underwriter so I have been told, this man is clearly smoking something to request what he has requested of me!! If I don't have enough to try and deal with he wants me to replace my entire roof because he thinks my roof is 25 years + and not structurally sound, who is this man!!! Um pretty sure I bought this house less than two years ago and it would not of pasted a home inspection if there were problems!!! So, I am searching for new Homeowners Insurance, if anyone knows of someone let me know!!! <br /><br />Life truly has its moments of bad and ugly; but then comes the GOOD!!!! Which seems to always way out the bad and ugly. This summer has really been great and sooo eventful!!! I could not have asked for a more full filling summer; between Disneyland, Seaworld, camping, Lagoon and summer BBQ's this summer has just been great!! I am so excited for Fall, Halloween is one of my favorite holidays!!!<br /><br />I am not sure where the next topic falls; good bad or ugly. As the anniversary of Josh's death is fast approaching, I am not sure how to handle it. One moment I am just fine and the next I am mad, angry and upset. Seems like every year I can not get a grip on his passing, and I don't know how long it will take before I stop trying to call him and think he is still with us. My heart still is broken and hurts more and more. I can remember everyone telling me that it will get easier as time goes on. But its not getting any easier at all, in fact its getting harder. Why??? Its been four years since that dreaded horrible August morning and my life has forever changed!!! I look at life at such a different angle and I know how precious it is. You just never know when the last time will be when you see someone you love and care about... I would give anything just for one more day or hour with him!!!<br /><br />Life sure is amazing and soooo precious!!!!Heathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07119318810623589334noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077967542777235029.post-6362953639147087832010-06-26T14:26:00.000-07:002010-07-08T15:12:38.944-07:00DiSnEyLaNd & SeAwOrLd VaCaTiOn!!!!I have to start off by saying; this blog business is alot harder to keep up on than house work!! I never seem to have time to blog.<br /><br />Anywho, I cant believe its FINALLY SUMMER!!! I am a huge fan of SUN and Outdoor activities. Oh and of course VACATIONS!!!! Speaking of Vactions, lets start there!!!<br />DISNEYLAND, Yes I said DISNEYLAND!!!! I cant begin to tell you all how exciting this was for me. I had never been to disneyland let alone even close to it. I am not even sure how this whole vacation spot became an idea. I mean I am now 25, been on my own since I was 18. I dont know why I waited this long to go, maybe the timing just was never right. As a kid I remember every other kid in my neighborhood going to Disneyland and bragging about it all summer long. For me that just didn't seem like something I could ever wish or hope for. I have always told myself I was going to prove to everyone that I would be someone and go places that I didn't get to go when I was young. Well, now is my time!!! <br />May 29th could not come quick enough, I was always searching online for "good deals", and never seem to find just that perfect deal. It was almost scary to book something in fear that things would not go my way and I would have to cancel the trip. Sure enough one night I just did it anyways, booked the hotels in both Disneyland and San Diego. Wow, what a relief!!! <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TCZ0YYTZslI/AAAAAAAAAFA/zEIdTC3UhhY/s1600/San+Diego+009.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TCZ0YYTZslI/AAAAAAAAAFA/zEIdTC3UhhY/s320/San+Diego+009.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487201158187037266" /></a> <br />That day finally came and on the road we went!!! I absolutely love RoAd TrIpS, especially with Renae!!! We always seem to know how to have a great time and find some hot boys!!! <br />Our first stop was in St. George, we thought it might be safe to stop and sleep there and not run ourselves to thin. Good thinking!!!!<br />Our next stop was Anaheim California!!!! Oh goodness, by the time we were loading up in St. George I was getting so inpatient. I wanted to be there already!!! I didn't want to wait another 7 hours and then wait more!! I think I was more a kid than Addy and Coop. Which by the way let me add that they were so great!! <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TCZ2FB2GTtI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/PGqyEIajf7M/s1600/San+Diego+011.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TCZ2FB2GTtI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/PGqyEIajf7M/s200/San+Diego+011.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487203024764292818" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TCZ1xxhOgKI/AAAAAAAAAFI/FZ0Db1UtjT8/s1600/San+Diego+004.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TCZ1xxhOgKI/AAAAAAAAAFI/FZ0Db1UtjT8/s200/San+Diego+004.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487202693964267682" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TCZ2lpsjxPI/AAAAAAAAAFY/otzlK_G5-Z4/s1600/San+Diego+001.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TCZ2lpsjxPI/AAAAAAAAAFY/otzlK_G5-Z4/s200/San+Diego+001.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487203585217512690" /></a><br />Cute Cute Kids!!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We arrived at our very nice hotel and could not of been happier!!! I will say that without Internet radio and a GPS I would of been lost and lonely. I could not believe I had finally made one of my goals come true!! Sounds silly to have a goal to someday go to Disneyland but to me it didn't. That evening was spent resting and relaxing for the next day was to be spent in Disneyland. Addy and Coop kept asking if we were in Disneyland and where was Cinderella and Buzz so dang cute. I dont think they fully understood what Disneyland really was until we got there.<br />I really enjoyed our day in Disneyland; seeing as much as we could in one day was hard. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TCZ4xdmdI_I/AAAAAAAAAFg/WxIFbRBWsTY/s1600/San+Diego+029.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TCZ4xdmdI_I/AAAAAAAAAFg/WxIFbRBWsTY/s200/San+Diego+029.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487205987152372722" /></a> The lines were not bad at all, I thought for sure we would be waiting in our lines and hardly seeing anything. We managed to do almost everything we wanted!!! I loved Soaring over California!! And the Submarine ride was great also!! I cant wait to go back, next year!! I am soooo going to Disneyland on my Honeymoon!!! (Back to the trip) And before we knew it, midnight had come and it was time to head back to the hotel and on to Sea World. As we were leaving Disneyland Addy and Coop fell asleep on top of each other, so flipping precious!! <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TCZ5ydUf7CI/AAAAAAAAAFo/Lbw4FL1veGo/s1600/San+Diego+116.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TCZ5ydUf7CI/AAAAAAAAAFo/Lbw4FL1veGo/s200/San+Diego+116.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487207103768554530" /></a><br />The drive from Disneyland to Sea world was not bad at all. I was again sooo excited to see parts of this world that I have never seen before!!<br />Vacations are sooo much fun but at the same time difficult to keep up with. Seems like you dont have enough energy or time or money to enjoy EVERYTHING. <br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TDZJgJ0h9VI/AAAAAAAAAFw/pB1xrEwrDyI/s1600/zoo.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 87px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TDZJgJ0h9VI/AAAAAAAAAFw/pB1xrEwrDyI/s200/zoo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491657612365788498" /></a><br />Seaworld and the San Diego Zoo was great. The zoo was not as fun as I thought it would be; all up hill!!! Are you flipping kidding me??? I think I will just settle for Hogle Zoo next time I want to see animals. <br />Now, SeaWorld, this place is amazing!!! Totally loved it, every second of it!! I loved all the shows and fun fishy animals!! This to will be somewhere I come back to SOON!!! <br />I loved touching and feeding the dolphins, they were so fun and cute! I just wanted to take one home and keep it in the bath tub!! HaHa!!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TDZJ4MvWuZI/AAAAAAAAAF4/O9O16eI5yGY/s1600/seaworld.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 85px; height: 130px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TDZJ4MvWuZI/AAAAAAAAAF4/O9O16eI5yGY/s200/seaworld.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491658025466247570" /></a><br />This vacation by far has topped all the other vacations I have taken!! I loved the 8 days we were gone. It went to fast!! <br />We spent some much needed time at the beach (scooping out boy toys :) ) I had the privilege of watching Addy, while Nae and Coop played in the Ocean. Addy was not too excited about the Ocean and hated how cold it was. She was holding on to me for dear life and kept asking if I would hold her tight. So flipping cute..<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TDZLL1OrhrI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/r1ARlfbDFLY/s1600/beach.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 85px; height: 130px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TDZLL1OrhrI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/r1ARlfbDFLY/s200/beach.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491659462264194738" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TDZLGyDbubI/AAAAAAAAAGI/FEPEruM0IqI/s1600/beach2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 87px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TDZLGyDbubI/AAAAAAAAAGI/FEPEruM0IqI/s200/beach2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491659375512369586" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TDZNMRA5xzI/AAAAAAAAAGo/bR7u_b2a7Zw/s1600/heat+and+add.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 87px; height: 130px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/TDZNMRA5xzI/AAAAAAAAAGo/bR7u_b2a7Zw/s400/heat+and+add.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491661668745856818" /></a><br />Life just cant seem to get any better!!

(to say the least)Life sure has gotten super busy in the last few months!!! After my accident life seems like it has been going in the fast lane and I have no control of pulling over in the emergency lane to slow down. And with summer just around the corner I do not see it slowing down anytime soon. (lets all hope summer is gonna make it by Dec.)<br /><br />Don't get the wrong idea about my last paragraph; I love to be busy. But sure would be nice to just have a moment to relax. I cant complain too much because I truly am sooo happy and starting to realize life is how you make it. The biggest thing that keeps me busy and on the move is my house!! Between my basement flooding, yard work and the regular house work its like a full time second job!!! But the feeling of accomplishment after I have fixed clog or mowing the lawn is GREAT!!! Dad also keeps me on my toes. I swear this man doesn't get tired or worn out, EVER!! I wonder how things would be if Josh was still here. Josh use to take him every other weekend and never hesitated to help if i needed a vacation. I sure miss him!!!!! I was very very blessed though, the first part of April I got the opportunity to go down to St. George and see KELLIE PICKLER. I love Kellie!!! <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/S9w9lLZlCPI/AAAAAAAAAEo/Kslu9DE4G8k/s1600/heat+and+kellie.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/S9w9lLZlCPI/AAAAAAAAAEo/Kslu9DE4G8k/s400/heat+and+kellie.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466311756645468402" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/S9w-WVFs2VI/AAAAAAAAAEw/QWUXrtgiakg/s1600/Kellie+PIckler+090.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/S9w-WVFs2VI/AAAAAAAAAEw/QWUXrtgiakg/s400/Kellie+PIckler+090.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466312601060038994" /></a>Anyways my Aunt Jo was so sweet and helped me with my dad. Which was like a once in a life time opportunity, thanks Aunt Jo!!! I know how hard it is to take care of my dad and she didn't complain once, just reassured me that everything was fine and to enjoy myself. Needless to say I knew better, and was sure that he was not being little Mr. Perfect. HA HA <br />THANKS AGAIN JO, HERB, RENEE AND JONI!!!<br /><br />Life is great!!! I really am very blessed and God has given me so much to be thankful for!!! I am sooo excited for summer and all the fun plans that come with summer time!!! I am taking a trip to San Diego and Disneyland at the end of this month and I cant wait!!!

I put no thought to my selt belt being on, if fact I didn't even realize I had it on. <br />I was on 12Th street heading to work just like every other day. Realizing I needed to be in the right hand lane; I looked over my shoulder and seen a truck but knew I had plenty of room to move over. So, that is what I attempted to do. I put on my signal and away we went; the back end of my jeep turned sideways and now myself and my jeep were sideways on 12th street heading for the north side of the street. I knew what was about to happen was not going to be fun or good. So I just let it happen; away we went rolling 3 or 4 times and I just keep thinking "please god, let me live." I remember holding so tight to the steering wheel and closing my eyes. When I realized what had just went on, I thought OK Heather you can either lay here and freeze or you can get your butt up and get out!! I am not one to wait for things to show up on my doorstep; off the seat belt went and out came Heather, or so I thought. Easier said than done I suppose because it didn't happen how I thought. I was lucky enough to have the helping hands of several men. I remember one in particular; older gentleman who was so very nice and caring. This man helped me walk over to his warm truck and talked to me while we waited for the ambulance to arrive. I kept looking over at my jeep and just crying; I wanted her to be OK and flip back up on her feet and take me to work like we planned!! <br />As I sat in this man's warm truck I started thinking of those people I needed to call. Of course Renae was first on the list; I felt so bad for calling her and walking her up. Next was Brent, my manager, his phone was off!! And as I was went to dial another; the ambulance showed up. I knew at that point in time how lucky I was to even be alive! The EMT's started their procedures and asking all sorts of questions. They kept saying "You are very lucky Heather, very lucky." The ride up to the hospital was not so much fun at all. I was poked so many times I cant even remember; but I can remember the really hot EMT do it!! So it was not so bad!! As they were wheeling me into the hospital, I heard a nurse say we need to cut her coat off so we can get a blood pressure; that sure caught my attention and I flipped. I remember my exact words "the hell if your going to cut my coat off, you cut it off and I will be one pissed off girl!!" I am sure they cared lol!!!<br />Everything checked out, no broken bones or anything too serious!!! I was so so so lucky to walk away from this with no serious injuries!!! I was also so very lucky to have such great family members come up to the hospital and stay with me and take such good care of me.. I am not one to depend on anyone so this has been a bit difficult!! Thank you RENAE for all the countless hours you have helped me!! Your truly a BEST FRIEND!!<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/SyLE90db4VI/AAAAAAAAAEI/QHz3qmJiUEY/s1600-h/jeep.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/SyLE90db4VI/AAAAAAAAAEI/QHz3qmJiUEY/s200/jeep.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414106268385927506" /></a><br />Now for reality to hit; I have no vehicle for a while and my poor jeep is most likely totalled!! Although I still have hope!! <br />I am very lucky to still have my life and be here today!! I know the odds were against me and my chance of living after rolling a vehicle four times are slim!! <br /><br />My Jeep is now famous!!!

Finally, I see the good!!!Lately... I have been through a few tough spots in the last little while... And trust me I have really had a hard time seeing all the good in this mess.... I never thought my life could get so out of control.. I am one to keep control of my life and never let things get to crazy... So here is what I have learned.... Seeing my poor dad go through chemo really sucks.... Seeing how much pain he is in really is sad... But... I have so much pride to be his daughter... He is such a strong person and doesnt let anything get in his way... I have so much respect for him and love him so very much.. I hope he can get through this chemo and things start looking up for him... He is still going to day care and loves it.. He thinks its work, its cute to see him tell everyone that he works three days a week... They will ask what he does and his response is... " I sit and relax, watch movies, talk to everyone and eat.." Oh its so cute... <br />Another life lesson I have seen good in is... paying a mortgage!!!!!! Wow, what a huge responsiblity!!! But... I love having this huge responsiblily... It has taught me so much... I love having a place to call home!!! A place to do whatever I want to do to it!!! Its great!!! <br />And one last lesson!!!! I am never going to settle ever again for a man... I know what i want in a guy and I will some day find him... I cant wait to find him and have my dream of a family come true... I love how my life is now, and cant wait to share it with someone!!!<br /><br />I am a bit late, but I wanted to wish my Brother Josh a Happy Birthday!!! I hope he knows how much he is missed and loved... Love you Josh!!! Thanks for watching over us!!!<br /><br />One last thing!!! Renae, is the bestest friend anyone could ever ask for!!! I absoulity love having her as my friend!!! She has been there for me through thick and thin!!!! If everyone had a best friend like me I can promise your life would be so much better!!! Thanks Renae for everyone you have done for me!!! Your the BEST!!!Heathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07119318810623589334noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077967542777235029.post-36984072098125134842009-09-03T23:07:00.000-07:002009-09-03T23:24:56.233-07:00What's Next????Well I wish I knew!! Life has been really crazy the last few days. With my dad being sick and in the hospital life seems to only get busier. Poor guy has been through a lot in the last few months. I am glad to have him back home, I really missed my little buddy. Its funny, because him and I are so much alike. (ask Renae) We are very much OCD, change our clothes more than we should, talk way tooooo much and our facial features are so similar... Its nice to have him back home where I can watch over him and make sure he is receiving the best care possible. Although, his injections at four times a day seems to be very tiring. Thanks to Renae I have been able to sleep a few nights through them. She has really been such a help and strength. Even Glen (guy I am dating) has stepped up to the plate and helped. He came over tonight, while Renae and I went to see Darius Rucker in concert. What a nice break, the weather was perfect and Darius was so good. (and super HOT!!!)<br />As my life continues on and each new day passes, I am soo blessed to have those special family/friends in my life. I would not be who I am today if those certain people were not apart of my life. I am one lucky girl!!!Heathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07119318810623589334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077967542777235029.post-33320945844177094532009-08-27T16:03:00.001-07:002009-08-27T19:51:55.521-07:00A Day To Always Remember!!!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/Spct2s9hweI/AAAAAAAAAB4/64NJW9e5u7I/s1600-h/josh1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 147px; height: 195px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/Spct2s9hweI/AAAAAAAAAB4/64NJW9e5u7I/s320/josh1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374815098095387106" /></a><br /><br />Joshua John Miles <br />Born in Layton, Utah on Nov. 9, 1982<br />Departed on Aug. 27, 2006 and resided in Bountiful, UT. <br />Joshua John Miles, age 23, passed away Sunday, August 27, 2006 in Bountiful, Utah. Josh was born November 9, 1982 in Layton, Utah, the son of Gary Ray Miles.<br />Josh graduated from Layton High School in 2001. Josh married Amanda Kay Boise on January 10, 2003 in Salt Lake City, Utah. <br />Josh always went out of his way to help all that he came in contact with. Josh loved to go camping, fishing, hunting, boating, and over all his favorite thing to do was spend time with his wife and 2 year old daughter.<br />Josh was a wonderful son, husband, father and friend. <br />Josh is survived by his wife, Amanda Miles; his father, Gary Miles; and his sister, Heather Miles; along with many other loved family and friends.<br />Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m., Thursday, August 31, 2006 at Val Verda 4th Ward Chapel, 2633 South 50 West, Bountiful, Utah. Friends and family may call Wednesday evening from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. at the Russon Brothers Bountiful Mortuary, 295 North Main and again Thursday morning 11:45 - 12:45 p.m. at the church prior to services. Interment-Hooper City Cemetery. Online guest book at www.russonmortuary.com. <br /><br />Today is a day I will always hold dear and close to my heart. Loosing a close family member or friend is very hard to deal with. Death is one part of life that will always be apart of you no matter what.. <br />It honestly feels like 10 years since I have seen Josh. Although I can remember the exact day like it was yesterday. I was on my way up to Snowbird for a week long vacation. On my way there, I stopped at Josh's house to drop off Dad to him. I remember Josh coming out to my car and giving me all the older brother advice he can think of... Always started off with something like this..... "Now Heather, You know who you are and the life style you want. Don't screw it up..." He was always very supportive of all my decisions but, reminded me constantly to not screw the future up because of one dumb decision. Josh knew the drinking problem I use to have. He knew the addictive personality I have and always reminded me to be "good". As I was pulling out of his driveway, he come running after my car and asked for a hug. Josh was soooo good about showing his love for anyone. But with me he knew I needed just a bit more. Josh was never one to hide his emotions or love for anyone.. That was one of my most favorite things about him. At times I can feel him hugging and holding on to me when things are rough, feels so real. <br />Another memory of Josh that I remember like it was yesterday; we all planned a trip to Wendover for Dad's birthday in July of 2006. We all shared a hotel room and really enjoyed each others company during that trip. The night before we planned to leave, the fire alarm went off in the Hotel.. As we were all getting out the hotel, Josh was no where to be found. Moments after the fire trucks left Josh calls me, "Heather Heather are you ok? What happened? Why did the fire alarm go off?" The laughter in his voice, leads me to believe he was very much responsible for the fire alarm. Later on he admits; he was the one who set the fire alarm off. He thought smoking was permitted, didn't even think it would cause a problem.. Josh was full of life and laughter. I remember him quoting this to me all the time, " This exact day and time will never occur again, Heather live your life to the fullest." And that is how I live my life now..TO THE FULLEST!!!<br />Josh, I want you know how much we all miss your love, laughter and hugs. You are loved so much by so many. Our/my life has not been the same since that early 27th day in August of 2006. Josh, you have taught me so much and I am very grateful for all your knowledge.(I use it daily) :) People who don't know you; know you now because of me. We are so very much alike in many ways. You may not be here physically but you live on from day to day in our/my hearts. We all hold you close to our hearts and miss you so very much.<br />I cant wait to see you again and just hug you!!! I love you!!!<br /><br />P.S. Thanks to my very best friend who has helped me through this rough journey.. I will be forever in debt to you.. Also, those who have reached out to me. <br />THANK YOU!!!Heathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07119318810623589334noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077967542777235029.post-46151643197457652142009-07-26T07:48:00.000-07:002009-07-26T09:09:17.224-07:00SuMmEr FuN!!Summer time has always been a favorite season of mine; Vegas trips, rodeos, camping, parades, fireworks, taking the top off on my jeep, concerts, bbq's and spending time with family. I have always enjoyed spending time with others and especially family. <br />This summer has been sooo much fun; I just cant believe how fast the summer is flying by. <br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/Smx9h2W8bmI/AAAAAAAAABQ/DL3OwZ2u_t4/s1600-h/jeep.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/Smx9h2W8bmI/AAAAAAAAABQ/DL3OwZ2u_t4/s320/jeep.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362799276772322914" /></a><br />Last year I finally bought my dream car, a Jeep Wrangler. I have wanted a Jeep Wrangler since i was little, and I finally got one!! This year, I took the top off just a bit too early haha, but I have fully enjoyed it.<br /><br />I just love going to a rodeo and as I am watching, I have such great memories of Josh, my brother. That man was a #1 fan of rodeo's!! I remember when we were growing up and our grandpa would take him to Hooper tomato days, and how Josh would ride bulls and bull fight. Every summer he looked forward to that. Last night I went to the Days of 47 rodeo, I had tears coming down my face as I sat and watched, I pictured Josh being right down in the middle of it all... Oh the memories....<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/Smx7xnmb3tI/AAAAAAAAABI/SMEM4gCupA4/s1600-h/Image188+(2).jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/Smx7xnmb3tI/AAAAAAAAABI/SMEM4gCupA4/s320/Image188+(2).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362797348665417426" /></a><br />Life sure has changed since Josh passed, I am a completely different person.. I just wish for one more day with him, one more hour just to tell him how much I love him and miss him.<br />Summer is just all around fun!!! And I am so glad that I have such great memories of my brother and I am so excited to keep enjoying all my summer days and making more memories. <br />My Trip to Vegas<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/Smx_F2VkQyI/AAAAAAAAABw/SrmOp5Fnh8k/s1600-h/DSCF1013.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/Smx_F2VkQyI/AAAAAAAAABw/SrmOp5Fnh8k/s320/DSCF1013.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362800994753463074" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/Smx-yHAV6gI/AAAAAAAAABo/PO8VtjOySpM/s1600-h/DSCF1049.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/Smx-yHAV6gI/AAAAAAAAABo/PO8VtjOySpM/s320/DSCF1049.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362800655630461442" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/Smx-hPDflUI/AAAAAAAAABg/zbAWbz5oXzo/s1600-h/DSCF1020.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/Smx-hPDflUI/AAAAAAAAABg/zbAWbz5oXzo/s320/DSCF1020.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362800365733385538" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/Smx-LF5MSiI/AAAAAAAAABY/KeOvi5AGbi4/s1600-h/vegas+2009+033.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/Smx-LF5MSiI/AAAAAAAAABY/KeOvi5AGbi4/s320/vegas+2009+033.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362799985317136930" /></a><br />We all had a great time..

I thought I would share some history about him and I. <br />Josh and I grew up in foster care, we both knew life was going to be a struggle, but we were strong as a team to get through our childhood TOGETHER!! I remember calling him almost every night making sure he was ok, and he would do the same for me.. Our Holidays were not like every other childs, we felt out of place and at times unwanted. But as a team we made each other feel like we still had a family. Growing up for both of us was quick, we realized quickly how precious life truely is.. <br /> <br />Josh grew up and became a very amazing man. He was the type of person who would help anyone. Several Thanksgivings ago; Josh, Amanda and Breann were invited to my house for dinner. I told Josh to be at my house by 1 pm, needless to say he didnt show up till almost 7pm. I was so upset with him, I remember calling him over and over asking were he was and he would keep telling me he was on his way. Once he arrived he then proceeded to tell me why he was soooo late. He was helping a single mom tow her car home and helped her get it running again. Didnt charge her a penny for his help. Boy, did i feel bad for being so upset with him. Josh would help anyone he knew had a need.. He also had the gift and talking to anyone and making friends with them instantly. <br />I remember him telling me he was going to be a dad, oh how proud he was. I was very fortunate to be in the deliverly room when his daughter was born... He was the proudest man alive, he could now build a family and give his daughter what he didnt have, A MOM and A DAD.. Josh was one of the best dads ever, he turned his little girl into a cowgirl from the day she was born... He took her everywhere with him, and she loved him so much. Although he only spent a short two and a half years with her, I am sure she loved those two and a half years with him..<br />The call was horrible, it was a phone call I relive daily, I only wish things would have happened differently. Josh, was a very happy man... No one would have seen this coming, he was always happy.. I knew things were rocky for him, but he made the best of his situation and pressed forward. He was my strength and my hero, he was such an amazing man. He taught me everything I know; fix my car, manage money, be positive and live life to the fullest!! Although its been almost three years, I still catch myself dialing his phone number and realize he wont be picking up on the other side.. Its been such a struggle to get use to being the only child left. I miss him helping me with my dad, its hard to do this alone. I have been very lucky though, I have a very amazing best friend who has been there from day one. Without her I would have given up. She has been a sister to me and I will forever owe her. Even her Mom and Dad have taken me under their wings and treated me like family, this means so much to me..<br /><br />Josh, I miss you so much!!! I hope you know how much you are missed and loved... <br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/SkVPcDSgCAI/AAAAAAAAAA4/e_BDBVY8jMo/s1600-h/josh.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 100px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W6ImEeVFLvo/SkVPcDSgCAI/AAAAAAAAAA4/e_BDBVY8jMo/s320/josh.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351771075537537026" /></a>This picture was taken by one of my great friends!

He has given me something i thought i would never learn, unconditional love and Patience!!! He has taught me to stick with anything you put your mind to.. I ve seen this man go through pure HELL, and yet he can still put a smile on his face, ride his bike to work and say the funniest things ever!!! I am so proud of him, he really does try his hardest to be the best dad for me. Its been such a struggle for him to loose my brother and I know he misses him alot. <br /><br />I am very blessed to have him as my dad!!!Heathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07119318810623589334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077967542777235029.post-5477215099018642632009-05-26T18:01:00.000-07:002009-05-26T18:16:51.583-07:00Here Comes The Sun!!!!I cant believe how fast my days go, seems like yesterday that i graduated from high school and started experiencing reality!!
