Reminicing...

2011-12-19T11:19:00.000-08:00

I was just going over old posts and it made me miss so much of my life that is no longer a part of my life...
SUU
GAMMA
LAMDA DELTA SIGMA/SIGMA GAMMA CHI
BABY RUE
DRILL
SKYLER
I wish so much of this was still in my life .
It's so weird, half of these girls are married now, the boys are on missions. And we are all over the place.
I guess I've just been missing who I was, and the adventures I always had...

Christmas Merriment?

2011-12-19T00:09:00.000-08:00

Christmas... Probably the CRAZIEST time of year. For those who work in retail it is the LEAST merry/jolly time of the year. And for those, such as I, who are AWFUL at shopping for other people... this too is not a magical time of year.

This year I convinced my family that we should draw names instead of buying a gift for every member, because well... let's face it... we are poor. I drew my Mother. Now, many people think that was the BEST DRAW EVER! But for me, that was one of the worst names I could draw. My mom and I are very close friends, however when it comes to style we are not really on the same page.

For example: I LOVE floral, flowy, animal print, bows, etc. My mother HATES floral, animal print, tight, flowy, aka everything. Do you see my problem? While shopping for my mother yesterday for 12 HOURS! I found one part of her gift... however, I found about four gifts for me! Wait... That was not the purpose of my shopping trip... Shoot. Ya, kill me!

So if any of you know my mother and how to shop for her PLEASE HELP ME!! I need it! Because we are nothing alike...

Sexual Healing

2011-12-03T15:38:00.000-08:00

So, I know all of you, especially those who know my mom and are about to go tattle that I am blogging about Sexual stuff haha, but before you do please read and watch.

Society and media are overwhelming the youth and young adults and even the adults of society today. Sex is no longer a beautiful creation God made so that we can have children; it's a game, and almost like a competition for a lot of people.

I know when I was not being my best self a dear friend and I would compare how many boys we had kissed and it was almost a competitive act to see if I could catch up and reach the number of boys that some friends had.

Now thinking about that I am ashamed and am so grateful I have moved past that! All sexual acts before marriage can bring is trouble and heartache. I know as mothers, parents, sisters, and friends we want to protect our girls from these mistakes and hurt; but we cannot, all we can do is be good influences and hope they learn from watching other's mistakes.

I found a video of a boy from Pacific University and this is his poem about Sexual Healing; I am so impressed with the kind of man he is and that he had the strength and heart to share this with us all. I truly think it is a video every single person should see and be moved by. Well, enjoy:

Rue

2011-11-12T14:26:00.000-08:00

It's been awhile since I have updated you all on pictures of my beloved cat hahahaha.
Yes... I have become an obsessive weird cat lady and I am only 20, and only have 1 cat... fantastic.....
BUT he's super cute so I am going to just love this and show you how cute my baby boy is :)

ahhh he's so cute guys!

He's a lazy bum lol

HE'S WAY TOO BIG!! He's now 9 months old! Holy Cow!!!!! He went from teeny tiny to GIANT!!
Well I hope you enjoyed those just as much as I did hahaha

Holding Out For A Hero

2011-11-11T00:32:00.000-08:00

So, recently, I have been going through a lot of personal changes. I have watched some of my dearest friends hit rock bottom and I, myself have realized what I was doing was not a happy road.
I have started to go to my Home Ward (aka the church ward my parents attend). It's helping me a ton! I am able to work on myself spiritually and be in an environment where I don't have peers swaying me one way or another.
During this transition, I have let go of a lot of people and things to try and find happiness. I recently went on a date with a fresh returned missionary. Let's just say it was really good! I had a lot of fun and I know he's a great guy. Whether it'll go somewhere or not I cannot tell you. But I can tell you, the feeling of being around a GOOD guy and being in a peaceful place myself is really teaching me what I want and need in my life.
Well, today I saw the new Footloose movie with my dear friend from SUU, Jacquie. There is a cover of the song Holding Out For A Hero in it. I have heard that song a MILLION times, however, this version truly captured the story and meaning of this beautiful song. It touched me and made me realize that I need to stop dating guys that will only bring me down and really "Hold out for a hero" because they are the only ones worth it.
My sister, Chablis is one of the best examples in this. Her hubby, Scott, is an AMAZING man, husband, and father! I need to find a man just like him :)
Well anywho, here's the song for you all to love and enjoy!!

Rue Bug

2011-05-09T15:57:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I am aware my last post wasn't too happy... BUT! This post is happy :) No worries, I'm not withering away into a black hole, just sometimes (teehee).

Well for those of you that do not know, I got a kitten about a month ago; her name is Rue. I love love LOVE my little girl :) there are, of course times where she is driving me insane and I want to murder her, but all in all there is no way I could; I love her way too much.

Well, I have a funny story to share about my little Rue Bug.
So, Saturday night there was a YSA activity with 8 different wards (and of course there was food! YUM!). After returning home from running errands with my lovely sister Gentri (http://gentrilee.blogspot.com/) I took a shower and got ready so that I could look presentable and possibly cute enough for a guy to want to come flirt with me haha. Well, my dearest Rue LOVES to play in my bathroom and with the shower curtain and drawers and wires and just about anything she can find. As I got ready I blow dried my hair, straightened it, did my make up, etc. Afterwards I COULD NOT find Rue ANYWHERE! So, like the good momma I am, I figured she was asleep under a couch or something. I resumed getting ready and left to my activity.
3 hours later my best friend, Erica (http://theblogpost.blogspot.com/), and I returned to my home where my mother (http://www.etsy.com/people/PixiePieJewelry) was watching her favorite SYFY channel. I simply asked, "Momma, where's Rue?" she responded not knowing. My mom and I start calling her name and looking EVERYWHERE for this little chica, every time we called her name we heard her response, but could not find her. After about 5 minutes of searching I decide to look in random spots... well... I found her in a drawer... in my bathroom... she jumped in there while I was blow drying my hair and then I put the hair dryer away and shut the drawer with her in it! HOW TERRIBLE AM I!?

Well everyone, that is my story :) isn't my baby just the cutest?! *GASP* I love her way too much for my own good :)

No Matter What I Do; I Forget To Forget You

2011-04-23T23:17:00.000-07:00

Well, it's been awhile since I blogged last... life has definitely had it's ups and downs. I know pretty much no one is gonna read this so I am just gonna vent a little. My family has had just about as much as I think we can handle right now, I am attempting to date but still just not over a recent heartache and he is all I can think about night and day, my 2 best friends were dating and they just broke up and of course I am stuck in the middle being vented to and told crap about my other best friend; I am at my breaking point.
I am hurting financially, and then am trying to find a new job because where I am just isn't cutting it. I'm trying so hard to be good and to hold onto that Iron Rod with two hands, but it is so hard. Satan is throwing everything to depress me right now. He knows that when I get depressed I seek comfort in things I shouldn't. I'm praying so hard to find joy right now, but I'm wearing thin. I know this is a super debbie-downer post, but I need to vent. I know things will get better, but it's so hard to see right now...

I know God is watching over me and I pray that He guides me through these days. I need all the strength I can get. I have two videos that kinda show my two sides of life heart broken/alone and then trying to do what is right. If you read this post I hope you watch them both they are truly incredible songs and videos.

this is the battle that we all fight in life, going through our trials and falling away; then fighting our way back.

and this video is of heartache. the song is "break your heart" by taio cruz but it is a piano composition.

Once again sorry for being such a debbie-downer but I needed a place to vent and this seemed like the only way I could with picture and video, so that I could keep them near and dear to me. If you are struggling please grasp onto that iron rod for dear life and let Christ carry you through your trials. He loves each of us so much and hates to see us hurt. I'm learning this, and am so grateful that I am learning it; because I would still be in that alone darkness where Satan deserted me. Never let him drag you down that far....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2011-01-03T12:44:00.000-08:00

Happy new year fellow bloggers or followers!

Post... More Professional Fam?

2010-10-20T12:42:00.000-07:00

So... apparently according to my family my post was unprofessional. Well fam it's deleted. No worries. If you did read my last post you all know that I am job hunting right now. I have been working for Vans for a year and a half and most people are jealous and tell me I have the best/coolest job ever! However, they don't know the behind the scene stuff all they know is I work for a bad A company; which I do.
I have had two interviews with the new store manager for the Zumiez at University Mall for his second assistant, will be having my third interview at Vanity for an assistant position tomorrow, and had an interview for Comptoday this afternoon. All three are fantastic companies. They are all just so different. Two are full time, Two are for an assistant manager, One is a skate shop, One is a billing company, One is girlie fashion. I don't know what to pick. I find out at the beginning of next week about all of them whether I got the job or not which means I may either be turned down by all, accepted by some and have to turn down others, or accepted by one. I don't know which and I don't know which job I am supposed to choose or which one will give me more pay and benefits.
One is in West Valley, One is in Orem, One is in Murray. Which means for one of them I'd have to leave my apartment and move, and the other two stay here. However, I don't know if moving is a good thing, I feel like it might be but I just don't know! I'm so confused and just keep praying I will know what to do...
Please pray for me all.... I need the help and guidance... I pray nonstop about this; it's stressing me out...

The Past 2 Months of Neglect to the Things That Matter

2010-05-25T00:26:00.000-07:00

So.... It's been about 2 months since my last blog... I'm really sorry about that... I had some distractions and it just kinda distracted me from everything that is important to me. Update on the past two months, (and p.s. I will do a blog post soon with pictures and videos from the past two months) I met a kid, we started dating but dating other people too, I was completely twitterpated by him. And for the past month or so he was every second of everyday, and my family can vouch for that. I spent every second trying to make him happy which in the end made me start to neglect my old friends, my family, my missionary, my best friend Skyler on a mission, my church responsibilities, my work responsibilities, and the responsibilities I have to myself. Ya, he made me really happy, but he wasn't mine. He did what he told me he was going to do, date a lot. And in doing that he started dating a girl a lot. And he cares a lot about her now and he began caring more about the other girls than me. I, still, am really struggling with it and so broken, but I'm letting go because it's what I have to do for me, I need to be smart for the first time in awhile and let go and move on for my sake. So in turn with letting go I'm fixing everything I've done wrong lately. I'm gonna spend time with the friends I have neglected, I'm gonna continue management training at work, I'm gonna pay more attention to my missionary like I should be doing, I'm gonna write my best friend like I should have been doing, I'm going to be a better aunt to my nieces and nephew, I'm gonna be a better sister to my sisters, I'm going to be a better daughter to my parents, be better in my church calling, and I'm going to date as much as I can and try not to attach myself to anyone so that I can live and not get hurt.
This is my goal and my goal involves letting go of someone I care a lot about. But it is a responsibility I have to myself to make me happy again... Wish me luck... I'll need it.

The Official Head Shots

2010-03-25T23:04:00.000-07:00

2010-03-24T21:58:00.000-07:00

But for our audition we have to have a head shot of us well Gen, Sierra, and I had one picture session, tomorrow is another one, so here's our favorites of today's session. Photos by: Michelle Cluff:

Well... What do you think?

Job...?

2010-03-15T18:39:00.000-07:00

So, as many of you know I am currently working as a sales associate at Vans, and a food prep person at Cafe Zupas. Well, I have a story before I get into this: Sunday night Whitney and I were at her aunt Jackie's apartment waiting for Whit's mom to come get her. Jackie is a strong reader of horoscopes, I however, am not. But Jackie swore by this one website's horoscopes so Whit and I read ours.
Whitney has a hard time with her tennis team, and this week her whole team is going to Cali, well hers was dead on with how the people she has to be around treats her and how she's just gonna show them all up!
Then I read mine, at first I didn't think much of it, but now... dang! My horoscope for the week said that this is a really smart week to think about my career and the work I am currently doing.

I will probably be quitting one of my jobs soon because they're just not too willing to work together. However, there's a chance I'll be quitting both I'll tell you why. I found a bunch of Special Ed schools in Utah and Salt Lake counties. One of which is in Provo and they are going to be looking for people to hire soon! They are going to send me an application through E-mail then I go down turn it in and talk to them!!! I have a good shot because my major is SPED, I have already done an internship with it, I've been working in Special Ed for five years, and I've had one year of sign language! HOLY ONE STEP AHEAD!!!!

So, I'm really praying hard that I can land this or another job at one of the other schools! Please pray for me!!! I'd be so so so happy if I got this job!!!

Uh... Shoot...

2010-03-09T16:36:00.000-08:00

So, as you all know I may be moving to Florida with my sister, Gentri, and some friends to work for disney... Well... Now I have another person's opinion in the decision making. I asked my mish aka Gavin, what he thought about me moving. And... Well... He said no. He said it's not a good idea and that he doesn't want me to go. Crap! His opinion means the WORLD to me, but I really wanna go...
Looks like these next few months will be really interesting. Most likely if things work out with this boy I'll be staying in Utah.

Plans that I have not even thought about...

2010-03-06T00:00:00.001-08:00

Every girl I know pretty much has their whole wedding planned. What they want their colors to be, what their wedding dress will look like, the flowers, the everything! I however, do not. And with all these weddings going on in my life it's been making me think of what I want my wedding to be like. Aw man I don't even know! The ONLY thing i know how I want is my bridesmaids dresses! I want them to be black tutu like dresses something that's a cross between:

...

and...

Some Demi Lovato haha.
So with the combination of these three types of dresses; my bridesmaids will be wearing Vans which would be my wedding's colors. Those colors are still unknown... haha.
Gentri, my sister, has called that at her wedding our neices, Gracie and Lydia, will be wearing tutu skirts... BUT! I have found dresses that if I can get them to cover a little bit more I want them to be in:

O man O man those girls will be so cute! As for everything else in my wedding I have not the slightest clue! I am pretty sure I want my dress to be ivory... but I don't know! Good thing I am not engaged or even have a boyfriend to stress about becoming engaged to plan a wedding any time soon! Phew! Chablis, Michelle, and Gentri I'm going to need your help with my wedding when the time comes... Deal?

Knee...

2010-03-04T01:01:00.001-08:00

So, the summer before my Senior year of High School, so almost 2 years ago, I had a knee injury, didn't know what I had done to it all I knew was that my knee hurt really badly. Well, back in like November-ish I went to my doctor and said, "Doctor, my knee still hurts! What is wrong?" and he said, "Kenna, let's x-ray your knee!" so, we did an x-ray and nothing was wrong with the bones. "Kenna, let's have you get an MRI!" said Doctor. So, I went and got an MRI done and then Doctor said to me, "Kenna, you have a signal in your meniscus which means it's not completely torn but it's definately damaged. Let's give you a cortizone shot and see if that fixes it, if not we'll do surgery." Doctor gave me a cortizone shot which hurt worse than ANYTHING I had ever felt in my life... It hurt like a couple words that I do not approve of myself... Well, it's been about a month since my shot and my knee is only getting worse. And since I go country dancing every week and party it up all the time, it's not really helping. So Doctor called me and said, "Kenna, we need to do surgery considering your knee still hurts." Yay me! I get to have a knee scope on my knee. Here I'll show you a picture of what's going on inside of my knee:

This is the damaged part of the meniscus. The string-like object running across the middle of the picture is a piece of meniscus that had torn loose and would float around and get caught in the knee joint, causing it to lock up.
This is what my meniscus should look like:

O... btw the blue isn't really what your knee looks like... here look at real live color pictures of what my knee looks like:

Where the silver pointer is pointing is where the torn meniscus is just kinda floating around. YAY me!! I have a messed knee!
OO and the best part is, is what I get to go into! Here look at what's gonna go down:

They go into my knee and then to take the torn part of my meniscus:

Doctor grabs the torn meniscus and then shaves the lumpy edge off to smooth it out, washes the debry out with some sterile crapola, then stitches the two sides of my meniscus together!

Well... this is gonna be an adventure... for recovery I'll be on cruthces, some people only need them for a day or two, but sometimes patients are not allowed to put weight on their foot for 6 weeks! Wow, really!?!?!? Aw man... Well, wish me luck!

2010-02-28T17:04:00.000-08:00

Country Time!

2010-02-09T17:57:00.001-08:00

I have this new love that Kelsi introduced me to... COUNTRY DANCING!

Every tuesday night we go up to Salt Lake City and dance to country music all night! Swing danicng is just about the FUNNEST thing I have ever done! I'm so stoked to go tonight!!! Bein' around the music and the movement has truly brought out the inner hillbilly in me! haha. As Blake Shelton and Trace Adkins say: We all got a hillbilly bone down deep inside no matter where you from you just can't hide it, when the band starts banging and the fiddle saws, you can't help but hollerin' YEE-HAW! When you see them pretty lil' country queens man you gotta admit that it's in them jeans, ain't nothing wrong just gettin on your hillbilly bone-ba-bone bone!

I am proof that we all really do have a hillbilly bone hahahaha. If you've never gone swing or country dancing, I strongly reccomend it! You get a big strong partner and they just twirl, flip, dip, and lift ya! SO MUCH FUN!!!

In a secrative wish... I kinda wish I was a cowgirl now hahahaha it'd be so much fun!

O how jealous I am of cow boys and girls hahaha. Well... Ya that's my love right now. Just thought I'd share it with all of you! And there of course is a plus to being around cowboys.... Just Look...

THE GAMMA BUNCH!

2010-02-09T00:23:00.001-08:00

So... Basically Gamma is the best thing of my life!!! Gamma is a chapter of Lambda Delta Sigma of which I am a part of officially as of thursday!! whoot!!!! I'm no longer a pledge! The experience to become an active has been so fun and I've already made so many close friends!

These girls are my sisters, wow I totally feel like I'm in House Bunny, Sydney White, and Legally Blonde hahahaha. And because Gamma is an LDS sorority we have 24 hour fasts together, have testimony meetings, lessons, the whole hooplah! As a sorority we went to Bryndy's cabin for a retreat, can you say hecka fun!!! We played funny games took hilarious pictures, talked all night, the works. And around 3 AM all of us were finally starting to fall asleep except a group of girls who were talking in the kitchen when all of a sudden we hear this BOOM BOOM BOOM! I thought the girls were really hyper and just making a rucas. Ya... kinda irritated and then all of a sudden we hear 4 boys yell RAWR!!!!!!!!!!!! And then the girls screaming bloody murder. All of us in beds shot up and were freaking out cuz there were boys in the cabin. So we go downstairs and find a group of Chi boys with shaving cream all over their faces and they were dressed in all black. I felt so bad because two of the boys picked up our little beency girl, Kylee and threw her outside in the snow as she was bawling! Afterwards it was hilarious if you watch this video you can see what all went down.
Facebook | Videos Posted by Danny Paniagua: Gamma girls [HD]
Anywho... the last Gamma thing to happen was our ceremony to make pledges actives. We all fasted for 24 hours on either: Sisterhood, Scholarship, Service, or Spirituality. We then broke it together and had a testimony meeting about it. Well, here are some pictures of all the adventures so far of Gamma.

January of 2010 recap!!

2010-01-25T21:54:00.001-08:00

Hey... sorry it's been awhile since my last blog. A lot has happened. Both good and bad. Let's start at new years. New years was so much fun! My sister Gentri threw a fondu/ugly sweater party, can you say so much freaking fun!!! A few weeks later a group of friends which includes: Gentri, Ammon, Taylor, Whitney, Bracken, and I went to and old folk's home and sang for them. It felt so good and was so much fun!! After that we went to Pirate Island and had a blast!!! One of the workers in the arcade was in love with Sierra and Whitney so he kept giving us free bags of tokens! It was great! Teehee. All together we earned 3,131 tickets! BOO-YA! That night was the best! Then that's kinda when things changed. Bracken, my newest best friend, and Whitney, my best friend of 2 years, both moved to Logan. And granted they both had incredible offers that they could not pass up, it sucked hard core. My two best friends were gone and I just felt really alone again. I was offered a manager position at my work place, Vans, and was really excited about it, started being trained, and whatnot. Then my dear dear friend Kelsi came back into my life and we've been together almost everyday playing. She introduced me to an LDS sorority called Gamma. I LOVE GAMMA!! I am currently a pledge, and am loving every moment of it. My first day at Gamma there was a huge carnival with all of the sororities and frats, it was so much fun! Sierra and I even ate real live goldfish! It was disgusting!! After the carnival we all went to one of the frats called Chi's house where there was HUGE dance party! It was so much fun!!! And there I met this kid named Matt. He was very sweet, hilarious, perfect teeth, and just a really cute guy. We talked for hours that night and got to know super random facts about each other like what each other's favorite kind of tree was. I started getting really attracted to him. The next day we talked and whatnot but then Saturday there was an institute dance up at the University of Utah, which is where Gamma takes place. I went up and was with Kelsi, and then Matt found me and we spent most of the night together. The dance was a blast! I loved it! All of Chi was dressed up like nerds and it was just so fun! After the dance we all went to In-and-Out to eat. We all hung out and talked and whatnot. Matt and I hung out a little bit by his car and just talked and whatnot. So fun. I slept at Kelsi's that night and just watched a movie with her and our friend Danny. The next day was Sunday and Kels and I were just chillin. Matt and I then had a fight about rumors that had been started and we haven't spoke since. It sucks. Because other than Whit, Gen, and the rest of the family, Matt was the first person to truly make me laugh and feel really good about myself. And I mean, I know shiz happens and there are other guys out there. It still just sucks cuz I was starting to like the kid. Now, I'm just working lots and planning on moving to the Salt Lake/Sandy area soon with Kelsi and Sierra. It'll be good to get out of my parents house. I love them and all I just kinda wanna be on my own again. And because I'm moving I had to turn down the manager position at Vans because I'll be quitting soon. Ya... Vans is not happy with me... But oh well, everything happens for a reason right? Well I hope so. This weekend will be really good for me though. Friday is the drill team state competition and the Chevaliers have such a good chance this year!!! And also on Friday I leave to my Gamma retreat to Bryndy's cabin. I'm so excited to be with the girls for the weekend! It'll be good to get away. Well, there's my recap of everything that has happened so far in January 2010. And if you want to see a video of Sierra eating a goldfish here it is!
