New Beginnings.

So as many of you know, I moved to California to finish up my last year of school. So I made the big move out of Show Low, and am living in Roseville, California with the Heaps' clan. It is different, and I love it. These kids make my day everyday. I wish I could be getting more pictures, but my camera is currently not working, and all I have is my camera on my phone. It is a slow, and cannot keep up with any of them:) But I will put the few I have on here. I got my room all put together for the most part, dad wanted pictures so there are some below. I am loving it here though. School is keeping me busy. I have been looking for a job for the last few weeks, and have currently applied for a total of 24 jobs, still nothing has come up for me.
Julianne is such a good mother and housekeeper and everything else. I still don't know how she does it, but she is so awesome and a great example to me. She puts up with my anxiety when it comes to waiting for letters from a certain missionary and is taking care of me like I am another child of her own. I'm lucky to be part of this family. I have to apologize to Julianne for teaching Hyrum a trick. That he can fit 2 pacifiers (or "faf's" as he calls them) in his mouth. He hasn't done it since the night I tought him thank goodness, but he loved it!

I have been attending the single's ward, and I love it. It is different of course, but everyone has been very welcoming, and it will be fun. I've already been asked to speak in church.

Laurel and I watching a movie. I love this girl. She is so creative,
loves to sew, makes to do lists like her Aunt Bethany now, and you
never know what she is going to say. I've been sitting down with her

to help her practice her piano and she is just doing so good! And something

that her Aunt Bethany might not ever get into is READING all the time!

John is so smart, and he loves his legos and wii time. If he comes across a

level he can't beat on the wii, he asks if I can beat it for him. His prayers are always sweet

and funny as well, since he will bless that whoever is not being reverent during

the prayer, will be reverent in the prayer. He loves to be organized, and is a great older brother.

I spend a lot of time with this little guy during the day, and he has said some hilarious things.

Just read Julianne's blog for some of those sayings. He always makes my day by

telling me I look beautiful and how adorable some of my purses are. He is starting to love legos

and really is such a sweetheart..

Hyrum is so full of joy, except he has been teething and was sick,
so was a little cranky at times. But he is talking a lot now, and I love
when I wake up and come out of my room, he gets a huge smile on his face and he will

give me hugs and kisses sometimes. He is just so sweet and cute, that's all I have to say.

December!

So I have been pretty busy this month just finishing up my last few weeks here in Show Low.
I had my last day of work on Wednesday December 23, and school ended December 18th.
Now I am starting to pack to move to California ONE WEEK FROM TODAY! Time is just flying by.
I hope you all had a great Christmas:)

This was my last day of work, we got little poppers that had crowns in them. I am not sure what I'm doing here.

Here is all of us with our crowns in front of our tree, and the last picture of us together before I move.

And us being cool. Haha.

So tradition in the Gentry Family is to take a picture on the steps Christmas morning with all the kids.

Well this is me being sad that I am the only one on the steps. Haha.

And here is my new printer I got for my computer:) It is wireless! I love it.

I also got a bluetooth headset so I can be legal in California! Woohoo.

Once again, Merry Christmas everyone, and Happy New Year next:)

New News!

So a lot of new things have been happening in my life lately.. Here they are!
I am now an aunt of 12! Emery Scout Gentry was born on November 21st and I got to
be one of the first few people to hold her. She is just a doll!!

I got surgery while in Phoenix, everything is okay. Just ask me for details,

I don't want to post it all over the internet. Haha. This was the pain scale they had me use..

I was practicing all the faces with mom while waiting.

As you can tell by my face I am making, this is me in no pain prior to surgery.

And last but definately not least, I GOT A BRAND NEW CAR! A 2009 Chevy Cobalt it had 13 miles

on it when I got it, and after test driving it, it had 18. So here it is:) Along with this car, I got a Wii !!

So I am a happy girl.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!

Valley Trip..

I made a quick trip to the valley this weekend to see family, friends, and see a specialist dr down there.
A lot of you may know I have been having some pain in my right side and decided to finally get it checked out.
I saw an OB/GYN here in Show Low, it took me 3 months to get it, but when he saw me, he said I had something
the size of a golfball in my right ovary. He sent me to the hospital to get the tests and ultrasounds all that lovely junkage
and then I had to wait a week to get the results and see him again. During that week I lost 6 pounds just from
stressing out. When I followed up with him, he said there was a compound cystic mass in my right ovary, and I had
to make another appointment at the hospital for a follow up ultra sound to see if it has grown at all.
I decided to get another opinion and just see a specialist in the valley who wouldn't put me off for months at a time, I
have 2 health insurances right now, so I am taking advantage of that while I can. So I saw a specialist this weekend,
and turns out, I do have a case of ovarian cysts, and might have endometriosis. I will be getting a laparoscopy the end
of this month to see if it is the endometriosis, but I just want to get peace of mind with all of this. I am so tired of
stressing and just always feeling tired.
On a happier note, here is the cutest little girl:) Olivia Cleo Gentry. I got to spend some good time with her and Marcha, and she is just so adorable and I can't believe how fast she is growing up.


Kisses for Aunt Bethany.

So cute! I love her hair.

I just love her!

Rockin' Rockstars.

So once again it has been forever since I updated this, but here are some Halloween pictures.
We were rockstars at work..

Nerds, Lakes, and Modern Technology.

We had "nerd day" at work on Friday. I have more pictures on the way. But this is what I got for now.

I went to Canyon Lake with Cameron and his family. Cameron's mom has an old family friend that has a boat, and they would always go to the lake growing up, and he agreed to take us all water skiing and just out for a day on the lake. I am not a fan of open water because I cannot swim well at all. But I had a life jacket so I decided I would give water skiing a try. I got up my 2nd try, and later in the day, I was getting a lot better and stayed up longer. We also went tubing. That was so scary and I got strawberries all over my elbows from rubbing them back and forth on the tube. But overall, it was a way fun day, and I left without getting totally burned, but with a nicer tan:)

This is my getting up for the first time. You can see the excitement on my face:)

Now here is a video of me.. its kind of all over the place because

you know how it is trying to see on a digital camera in the daylight,

and combine that with a bumpy boat and you get one crappy video.

But I went water skiing:)

I have an embarassing video of me trying to handle these things in

the water. It is so much harder than it looks!

Here is Cameron and his two younger siblings..

end of the day all ready to go home. See I didn't get burned!

My phone once again started breaking at the hinges, so I decided to just get a new and improved fancy touch screen one. I got the LG versa.. Here it is. I love it besides the fact that my fast texting skill is gone down the drain. Oh well:)

And one more event.. I am now in the 80-100 words per minute class for school. I finally got all the requirements met to move onto the next class. So I am hoping to cruise through these next couple speed classes.

Pretty Landscaping!

So as I posted a while back, we did the landscaping for my work, and I just thought I would show you all one more time how pretty it turned out, now that it has had time to bloom more. We also have a tree planted now in memory of one of the therapists that worked there who passed away. She worked with the little kids we would get as patients, and worked for free pretty much. It is a maple tree, and that was her favorite, so we planted it in honor of her. Here are the before pictures, the after, and the current.

California Here I Come.

So just some recent news from my life, I put my last day in for work. December 23, 2009:)
I am looking forward to it because I am going to be moving to California about a week later.
I will be living with Julianne and Brad for a while until I can just get used to being away from home
and kind of get myself going up there. I can't wait to get out of Show Low and just be living where
I have always wanted to live. I look forward to being close to a couple of my sisters, and being more
part of 7 of my nieces and nephews lives. I can't wait to just help out more and grow closer with my
sisters since I didn't really get to be with them growing up. Don't worry Mom and Dad, I am a phonecall
away when the tv or computers aren't working:)

Just an update.

Okay, so this whole blog thing is getting harder for me to do.

I wanted to put all our Boston pictures up, but I know all the family has facebook,

and I put most of them up on there. It just takes so long on this blog thing to upload a lot of them at the same time:(

I took around 600 pictures when we were in Boston, so it is very hard to narrow it all down.

But anyways, I have been very busy with work, school, and I am starting to run/work out again just to get in shape.

I turned 20 and can't believe how fast time is flying! I really will try to be better at this whole blog thing. No promises though.

Boston Part 1

So mom, dad, and I are visiting Christian and Laci and the family in Boston for a week, and here is Day 1 in a nutshell.
We toured Fenway Park and went to the Museum of Fine Arts. It was a lot of walking, and I rode on a subway for the first time. Here are some pictures fellas:)


The ceiling is pretty:)


Museum of Fine Arts again.



I thought this was radtastical:) Haha.

I got yelled at for using Flash Photography, so I just tried to

catch the effect of all the pictures in this hall it was kind of hard to.

This doesn't do it justice at all.

The Courtyard at the Museum of Fine Arts, so gorgeous.

Museum of Fine Arts.


The longest escalator I have ever been on..

From the press box.

Fenway Park, where the Red Sox play.

Adorable Berkeley:)

The Fam.

Boston Red Sox.

Yawkey Way.
