Frustration at it's best

So last week I was asked to make the main course for YSA Break the Fast this past sunday...(not really break the fast cuz it wasn't fast sunday, thats beside the point....) So i decided to make Chicken Bundles....one of my favs....so, i bought all the stuff and then on Sunday I came home from church and cut up 10 chicken breasts....(Ivan said to prepare for 40 ppl)...Then I went to my friend Shannon's house so I could prep the rest of it and show her how to make them for her family....Then I drove up to the stake center in harrisburg (i was there at 620ish) and I finished making the bundles....which means I took the mixture (cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, cubed chicken and chicken flavored stuffing) and put them in cresent rolls and wraped them )kind of like a diaper) So i did this for all 48 bundles, I then proceded to cook them. So by 710ish the first batch (2 trays) was done and I took them out to the cultural hall....which was pretty much EMPTY!!!! So end of story there were a total of 10 people who came (which includes President Neilson and Brother McBride and Clarisse and Tony Mendenhall) so 6 YSA's. I was SOOOOOOO frustrated because I did ALL that work for 6 ppl. I could have made 1 batch. So I am very frustrated at the whole situation. BLAH!!!!!

My Favorite Song (at the moment)

So I LOVE the group boys like girls. They are Fabulous!!!!! Their new album is excellent. There is a song on it called Two is Better Than One. The song features Taylor Swift and the 2 voices are awesome together. This song is AMAZING. Here are the lyrics-

I remember what you wore on the first day

You came into my life and I thought

"Hey, you know, this could be something"

'Cause everything you do and words you say

You know that it all takes my breath away

And now I'm left with nothing

'Cause maybe it's true

That I can't live without you

Maybe two is better than one

There's so much time

To figure out the rest of my life

And you thought that it got me coming undone

And I'm thinking two is better than one

I remember every look upon your face

The way you roll your eyes

The way you taste

You make it hard for breathing

'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away

I think of you and everything's okay

I'm finally now believing

That maybe it's true

That I can't live without you

Maybe two is better than one

There's so much time

To figure out the rest of my life

And you thought that it got me coming undone

And I'm thinking two is better than one

Yeah, yeah

I remember what you wore on the first day

You came into my life and I thought,

"Hey,"Maybe it's true

That I can't live without you

Maybe two is better than one

There's so much time

To figure out the rest of my life

And you thought that it got me coming undone

And I'm thinkingI can't live without you

'Cause, baby, two is better than one

There's so much time

To figure out the rest of my life

But I'll figure it out

When it's all said and done

Two is better than one

Two is better than one.

I would strongly recommend that you listen to this song, It just makes me so happy and I love listening and singing along with it. :)

Update

So I have not posted in FOREVER....sorry. My internet at home sucks and is super slow. So I have been doing well. I am thinking about going back to school to be a Pharmacist. I think it would be so much fun and I think I have finally found something that I LOVE doing. I also have broken up with my first love....It is OVER. I will always love him but I am not in love with him anymore and it was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, I cried a lot. But I know that we were both moving in different directions with our lives and I know that I needed to end it so it would be better for both of us in the end. So that is my update at the time.

Palmyra

So I got to go to Palmyra, New York two times in the last 3 weeks. The first time was with the YSA and it was so much fun. This past weekend I went with Mary, Travis and the kids.....It was a BLAST!!!! We started the day bright and early at 5 am and took a 4 & 1/2 Hour drive to Palmyra. We then went to the Smith Farm and Sacred Grove which was very cool.


This is Bella and Wyatt, while we were sitting and waiting to go into the Frame home. After the tour we went to set up our campsite and then went to find lunch. after lunch there was a torrential downpour and we had to run to the car then run to the E.B. Grandin Press to take another tour. It was amazing how much work went into printing the first copies of the Book of Mormon.
So this is the manuscript of the Book of Mormon.

And this is the one of the original First Editions of the Book of Mormon....So Cool!!!! After the Grandin Press. We decided to drive over to the Peter Whitmer farm, which was also very, very cool.

Isaac and Wyatt sleeping on the way to the Peter Whitmer Farm.....It was just so cute, I had to take the picture :)
This cutie pie is Dakota and we were playing peek-a-boo and I captured this adorable picture.

Then later on we headed over to the Pageant, which ended up getting rained out, half way through the performance.

On Saturday, we started out the day by going to the Hill Cummorah.

This is Isaac and Wyatt sitting in front of the memorial.

The whole Whiting family: Bella, Wyatt, Mary, Isaac (on Mary's lap), Travis and Dakota (on Travis's lap) I love this Family !! :)

After the memorial, we drove an hour and a half to Niagra Falls, which was soooo amazing. We got to go on the Maid of the Mist and it was so awesome to be so close to the falls. It was an AMAZING weekend and I am so glad I got to go with them :)

21.....

So.....my birthday is on Sunday and i will be 21. YEA for me.....So now I get to start declining drinks even more because age is not an excuse anymore. Some of my friends understand why I don't drink and they respect that and they would also tell me if anyone spiked my drink which I am very thankful for. Some of my other friends just don't get it at all. Which is kind of frustrating for me. But I don't understand the whole drinking thing, I mean why would anyone want to drink something that tastes bad and then makes you throw up if your drink too much. I don't get it at all. But apparently getting drunk is fun.....so I guess I will be missing out on so much fun.....whatever. I will find my own fun. haha

A Funeral and A Reception-all in one day

So yesterday morning i went to the viewing, funeral and internment for Daniel and then in the afternoon drove to Morrisville, PA to go to a reception for Becca and John Demos. It was an extremely emotional day.
I never thought I could cry as much as I did. I should not have gone into see him but i did and I lost it as soon as i walked in and when i finally stopped crying, my brother gave me a poem that his mom wrote about daniel and I lost it again. I calmed down a second time and then they brought in the casket and I lost it yet again. I was doing ok through Derrick's(the dad) talk and then when Ellen (mom) started giving her talk i was tearing up at certain parts but then the kids got up and tlaked about what they were going to miss the most and True (7yr old) got up and he was so sweet and it made me cry and then Justin (17) got up and he spent the most time with him and he was trying not to cry, Justin who is so tall and calm and does not cry, and I lost it completely. My dad had to put his arm around me and it was just so hard to hear and to see.
So by the time Marissa and I were driving down to go to the reception, I was so tired from crying that it was amazing to me. I am so glad that Marissa was driving because I would have had a hard time. The reception was really good. It was so pretty and Becca looked GORGEOUS and she was glowing and it was awesome to see.
So I got home around 10:30pm last night and I crashed.
It was an emotional day.....(sigh)
