Chris FINALLY came back to Utah December 10th! His plane was late. I guess there was another smaller plane on the runway so they had to loop around the airport till that moved. I had to wait 45 minutes for him. I was nervous he wasn't going to show but I'm really glad he did. That day we went to see the movie 2012. It was long, boring, and the effects weren't as good as they could have been. That night we went to the Olive Garden with Jenny and her boyfriend Chad. It was good to see Jenny again because it had been a while since she had finals. I'm really happy she came. After dinner we went and walked around the mall. The mall was closing so we left. Chris and I went to Wal Mart. We then went back to my apartment and I had a shower and we watched TV till we fell asleep.
The next morning was my BIRTHDAY!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!!! We went down to my mom's and had a lot of fun there. Mom made Taco Soup! It was really good!!!! The next day we went to my grandpa's house to celebrate his birthday with him. He turned 80!!!! My mom does a tradition with the kids that when they turn 3, she takes them to Build a Bear so they can make their own animal. Chris got a new hoodie, which looks really nice on him.
WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK!!!! Yep, thats how that week went. Last Saturday we went to see the lights at Temple Square. It was really crowded but the lights were pretty.
I can't wait to go home this week for Christmas! I am so happy that Chris is here! We've been staying with Bobbie and Ryan and it has been alot of fun. I dont know how Chris feels about it while I am gone to work, he says he gets bored alot but he brought his laptop and has a game that he has been playing, so I hope he doesnt get too bored without me there.
I'll be in Canada in 2 weeks!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!! I'm nervous and excited!!! But more nervous, I've never been on a plane so I am really scared but I cant wait to meet his family and friends.

Friday, November 13, 2009
Sometimes I wonder if the reason why I don't have a really good social life like I did for the last 3 years. I wonder what has changed over this last year. Like, what has been the main reason why I am not as social as I was last year, two years ago, or even 6 months ago??
Alot has changed over my last year even. Last year I was still trying to get over the fact that Brandon broke my heart so badly last summer. I was looking for love in all the wrong places. I didn't think that anyone could or ever would love me as much as Brandon did. He was a nice guy at first. They all were. Things escalated and we got too physical WAY too fast. I felt as if I had to do those physical things with guys to be accepted. I didn't think anyone could love me for my personality, what I believed in, or what I knew. This happened for a good 6 months, not just once but many times. I had more heartbreak in that short amount of time than anyone should. There was a guy who I knew cared about me and I cared about him but he couldn't commit to being in a serious relationship with me. He came over when it was good for him. I was THAT girl. I went dancing with friends one night, met a guy, we made out, and I haven't spoken to him since. I was THAT girl. I met a guy online. We shared many likes and dislikes, went to a movie, and he was my boyfriend that night. He met my best friend and she could tell he was just using me. I was THAT girl. I was always THAT girl, you know the ones who don't do things for them or what THEY want to do but what their guy wants to do.
I see so many girls in our day who are THOSE girls and they are unhappy with where their life is going; just like I was. I didn't see the light at the end of the tunnel and wondered if I could ever be loved again. I mean, truly cared about. Not just he loves me for my butt or tummy or eyes or the way I kiss. But loves me because I am a daughter of God who wants to be married in the temple the right way with the right guy. Because he wants me for who I am on the outside and on the inside. He sees the beauty in my smile and what I want to do with my life. So many girls are being used to be accepted by guys and they think there is no way out. Well, I'm sorry there is a way out.
My way out came in the first part of June. :) I had no idea that it would be like this but I am so in love, more than I have ever been in my entire life. I think it may have all started with losing my job at Babies R Us.
For days and weeks, I sat in my room alone wondering if things were ever going to change. No job, no boyfriend, no money... I thought all was lost. I wrote a blog post in May telling everyone who cared about me that I didn't need them controlling me anymore. I did that for acceptance from ONE guy. One guy who I thought loved me for real. I knew that when i lost my job that things were going to be different and they definately were, with everyone. I never went home because I wasn't going to let my parents control what I was doing. I blew off Jenny numerous times because I knew she would tell me to stop hanging out with this guy. So I would go to him, looking for something but getting nothing. He had been divorced for 2 months so he didn't want to commit to me, he just wanted me there for the action. I was THAT girl. That was the girl who I have grown to hate. I basically told my family and friends to go to hell, and that I didn't care what they had to say, because I was "happy" with my life. Does that sound happy to you? Driving an hour to be played with? With nothing in return? Well, I wasn't. I know that now.
More than ever I wish I could take back some of the things I did and said, but I don't want to take back that experience. I wouldn't have known what a blessing my family and Jenny is. I wouldn't be writing this blog post now telling you that I know now that I AM the happiest I have ever been in my life. I have a man who loves me for who I am on the outside and the inside. I have a man who supports me and is proud of the woman I have become and am becoming. I have a man, even though he is miles and miles away, I know he loves me so much and he tells me alot. I will never go back to being THAT girl. I am now THIS girl and I'm lovin' it! :)

Fun Ruiner....
If you follow Chris and I's blog (eeandcv.blogspot.com) then you would already know the news, I got my passport last night!!!!!! I'm so excited!!!! I wish work wasn't in my way cause I would be *IN* Canada right now with my amazing boyfriend!!!!! But I am going on January 4th-January 11th, for sure!!!! I'm pretty excited cause we will be going to the Edmonton Mall and I will get to meet alot of his close friends and his family as well. His dad is really excited to meet me and I am really excited to meet them all as well. Its going to be a really different thing for me because I've never been out of the country first off, and I've never been on an airplane. So I'm freaking out about that but Chris assures me that I will be fine and that I shouldn't be nervous or scared.
I really do love Chris and all that he's done for me. He really is such an example and always knows how to make my day and make me smile. I love him more than anything in this world. He has shown me how to be loyal, kind, and honest to people around me. I've become less tempered having him around. Things have definately changed since I have met him and I know that me meeting him is all for my benefit and the best for me. He is one of my best friends and I tell him everything. He knows me better than I know myself. I am grateful and I thank God all the time for sending him here to be with me, and to stay with me. :) It gives me chills but I know that its true, and I know that the Lord will continue to bless us in all that we do if it is according to his will.

Halloween Week!!!
So next Saturday is Halloween, for the whole week at work we can dress up!!! Pretty cool, right? However I only have one costume (I left all the ones I WAS going to use at mom's), so I'm pretty stretched for time AND money but want to have a different costume the entire week. If anyone has any ideas, could they please let me know ASAP!!! I have to be able to work in it, no masks, and kid appropriate. We cant just wear jeans and call it a costume either, it has to be a legit costume. I work 4 days next week so if you could give me some ideas, that would be awesome. I cant just go to the store and buy 3 other costumes, I could buy something cheap but I dont know. THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!!
(if anyone actually reads my blog anymore....) :(

The Latest....
I put in my passport a week ago today!!!! I talked to work and they said I couldn't have time off to go up there as soon as my passport comes (November). So we've decided I would go up after Christmas. :)
But.. even better news, Chris says he is going to come on December 10th and stay until December 29th and WE will go back to Canada TOGETHER! My first time on a plane and I will actually be leaving with him this time!!!! But two weeks after, he will have to say goodbye to me, and see how hard it really is!! As most or ALL of you know, my birthday is December 11, so I get to have my boyfriend here for my birthday AND Christmas!!! I'm so freaking excited!!!! YAY!!!!
This means we will be with each other for a month, straight! Of course, I will be working alot in between those days that he is here but I don't really care. I worked alot when he was here last time, so I will just work my butt off. This is all up in the air still, we still dont know how long I can stay and I haven't really told my parents about the cost of the plane ticket yet, since they will be paying for most of it, which that will be my Christmas present from them to me. :)
YAY! I'll keep ya'll posted if things change!!! :)
Loveya!

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I submitted my passport TODAY!!!!! 3-4 weeks till I'm going to Canada!!!!! If things go the way I'd like them to, I will be leaving November 12th!!!! But as we all know when we make plans, they could all change. But I just felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders when I submitted my papers. The only thing is it was a little more expensive than I thought. $101.10 which still isn't bad because the passport is good for 10 years!!!!! I can't believe this is all happening so good and will be a lot faster. I've never been on a plane so I am very nervous and scared about that but I know I will do fine. Chris has talked me through the airport thing many times so I kinda know what I'm going to expect. I've been looking at flights and I'm looking at about $500! Not bad!!! Still need to discuss it with my parents though cause I know for a good fact I won't be able to afford to pay the full $500!!! Anyways, I'm just so excited!!!! YAY!!!! I'll keep ya'll posted and updated more!!!! Loveya!
