A Little Late

I am posting this wonderful event a little late. But I thought It was worth sharing. Maury was so kind to invite me to go to Disneyland with her and the her kidos. I love spending time with my big sister ad her kids. We had so much fun! I got to ride fun rides with Connor and Cash, scary rides with Connor, and spend a few hours with Posey,and of course talking with Maury and listening to her great advice.



I had so much fun, and made some great memories. Thank You so much Maury.

JoHn!

So this past week I have been without my car. My little brother John needed to use it to get around for the week since his car needed a repair. It is nearing the end of the week and I get the car back tomorrow. I have mixed feelings about it. I want to have my car back because its easier for me to get the things done I need to in my time. But I am going to miss spending time with my John. We use to see each other and hangout all the time. I now only maybe see him once or twice a month if that.

I miss our crazy times! Sining at the top of our lungs in the drive thru, Laughing at stupid little things, and so much more.

John I love you so much and I miss you.

Jessica's Bridal shower

So I was up at five this morning to prepare for my friends bridal shower. She gets married next week. I had so much to do. I made two quiches, Cinnamon Rolls, Cut Up Fruit, Brownies, Lemon Bars, Orange Punch with Ginger Ale, Oh and of course Favor Bags. It was A LOT OF WORK! I also did not mention the photo frame and Name Plaque, and the cooking basket I made her. Anyways Back to the A LOT OF WORK I put into this party it was worth it to see my friend so happy and so thankful. I must say It turned out well and I think I did a good job. Maybe I should think about doing this professionally. I love ya Jessica!

SORRY EVERYONE!

SO so sorry I have not blogged in forever! Main reason is we have moved two times and we have had no internet. Now I am back with internet! Yohooo! I never though I would be so happy for internet.

A Letter to the Old Me

Dear Old Me,
I am a little confused as to what is going on. My bank card that once use to buy me all the wonderful things my heart desires, now buys groceries and pays bills. My high heels that use to once tear up the dance floor, now help to clean floors and other messy things. My body that I kept in shape was to strut my stuff for others, now is kept in shape for my husband. I once was able to come home at one or two in the morning or later, now I am home to have dinner on the table by six. Once night outs consisted of restaurants and other crazy places with crazy people,now consist of night ins with family (though I do love being with my family). Knowing what the latest issues are going on on the hills is now knowing whats going on with the family, and planning my whole social week is now planning when bills must be paid and who to go see and what to do. WHAT HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For some odd reason I am in mourning of my old life. I do the same things, and I am the same person but I seem to do them in a more meaningful form. Lately I have been feeling very very sad. I am not one that takes change easily. For me it is extremely hard!
I made the best decision I ever could of made by marrying my husband. I made a very very very good decision, and I have been richly blessed. So why do I feel sad?
I finally came across a talk that pulled me out of my sadness. It was a message in the ensign by Elder Steven E. Snow called Get On With Our Lives. It saved me. It helped me come to an understand that change is so good and it is part of Heavenly Fathers Plan.
Marrying the love of my life has helped me to become a milestone closer to who I am to become, and I am so very grateful.
So to the old me. I will always have wonderful memories but I look forward to the many more I will have as my life goes on.
I will still be me, but with each year that comes I will become a better me.
With all my love,
Me

FAMILY

I have always been one that enjoys being with my family. If I had it my way I would buy big plot of land and have all of my family live on it. This weekend was Easter another time for family to be together. At the end of the Easter egg hunt I had to leave for a friends baby shower. It was fun seeing those I have not seen in sometime. Laughing about all the stupid fun things we did and all drama we went through with each other. As much fun as that was I missed being with my family. I knew back at the house everyone was having fun, and I was having fun but it wasn't the same. When I got married I gained a ton of more family that I love, its so wonderful that I can invite my side and my husbands side and bring them together and there is no drama or weirdness. How blessed I am. My mother always told me that family is the most important thing in this life. They are the only people that stand by us no matter what the circumstances. I am so grateful for my family. I truly believe God gives us families so we can weather any storm. I feel sad for those that are not as fortunate as I am to have the loved ones I do. Thank you to all my family for a wonderful Easter. I love you all so much.

What a weekend!

This weekend Mar-Kell and I took a little road trip with the lovely David and Melissa and their little girls. We went to phoenix to meet Katie's Man Scott. It was so fun! Well for us and I hope Scott as well. I am so proud of him he took all of our crap and Jokes. I say He is a Great one and he can hang. I love being with my family. It makes me happy and is always fun. If all I had were my family life would still be amazing.

We are the Petty's #4

My name is Nora Q. Petty. I recently got married for time and all eternity in December. Marrying my husband was the best decision I ever made. I am the luckiest girl in the whole world. He is a backroom lead at Sports Authority and a full time student. He works so hard. I am a stylist at SportsClips. I love it! Except for the I have to work every other Sunday thing. But the rest is great. We are waiting a few years to have kids. But we do want them. We are just preparing for when they come. I love my life and the wonderful people I share it with. I have been so blessed in my life.
