days sober from soda in general especially Diet Coke which is one of my favorite things in the world. Wednesday was a stressful day and I almost drank a Mt Dew... Jodi my co worker stopped me. Then I got to talk out the stress at the gym with Brenda Baker and felt better.

2012-01-16T10:16:00.000-08:00

Today in honor of MLK Day I have decided to follow my dreams of healthiness. I went to the gym today for a hour and did 11 miles (10 on the bike). I ran as fast as the skinny girl next to me ( which is my favorite). But I have this plans to get healthy and give up after 30 or 40 pounds gone and gain it back. So I need so accountability from my friends.

Goals:

* run the Clinton 5k again in July and get 6th from the last instead of 5th.

* give up DIET COKE!

* Eat smaller portions of food.

* Never see this number on the scale again 2*7.

This isn't biggest loser I don't have to tell my number.

* go to the gym 3 times a week for at

least a hour

If everyone will help me a be accountable then I can reach my goals and run faster then the skinny girls at the gym. So ask me about them when you see me. Thank you! This is my awesome post workout picture and starting point. My shirt says I know Karate it's funny.

The game of EAT it continues!! She is eating a sheep. It's our favorite!!

The girls and me went to see the lights on Temple Square a few days after Christmas this year. We had a BLAST!!! We giggled, joked, and complained about the cold. I love my besties !! We have the best times together always. I'm so lucky to have the best friends ever. We saw the lights then went to Leatherbees(I think that's what it was called) for ice cream since we were frozen from the cold. It totally makes sense. lol We ate lots of ice cream and were very ill afterwards but it was worth it!

New Years Eve 2012

2012-01-01T20:03:00.000-08:00

I had the best New Years Eve in YEARS! We played the game curses which is the funniest game. We played the singing Disney game on the Wii. We had sandwiches and ice cream sundaes. We had apple sprinkling cider at midnight and toasted to getting more money in 2012 then we all giggled and toasted a few more times. Thanks to my great friends and the good time together. Goodbye 2011 you were a good year much better then the past few years. We had lots of fun times in 2011!

A vErY mErRy MaRtInDaLE cHrIsTmAs 2011

2011-12-27T05:09:00.001-08:00

As a family this year we were very BLESSED and very THANKFUL! After our mom totally her car last month we are grateful to have her still with us on earth. She is healing and has a new car that is Byu blue. LOL.

Christmas morning I took pictures of my CUTE tree! My mom bought me a quilt made years ago out of my dresses I worn when I was little. Its amazing! My Grandma quilted it and it was one of the first star quilt my mom had made. It's very special.

Christmas afternoon was spent eating a ham dinner with layered Christmas jello (it's the best). We opened our gifts and having a great time. The boys have taken my camera in most pictures. Which I was grateful for because some people don't like me taking their pictures, but they were on it and got mostly everyone. The video is a game Chad, Madi, Dad, and me played after everyone left. I was a weird game according to my dad.

I went to the Leavitt's house in the evening. It was fun to spent time with the sweet family. I always a good time over their, lots of giggles. It was a great holiday except for my stupid cold but I'm finally feeling better on to NEW YEARS!

2011-12-03T22:33:00.000-08:00

It's almost midnight again and I'm not writing my mythology paper but blogging again. It's a repeat posting from a month ago. Really University of Phoenix I need this class for my business major? Job interviewer tell what you know of Greece god pyramid at the beginning of time... Has never came in a business management position interview I bet it on my life. Here University of Phoenix let me pay you buckets of money from useless information. Now that I have spoken my peace on the subject back to BS a paper that is 1050 words long and I have 310.. Wish me luck:)

2011-11-26T22:07:00.000-08:00

Black Friday

2011-11-26T21:56:00.001-08:00

Landon and me went Black Friday shopping at 4:30 am. It was a lot fun to spend so much time with my buddy Landon. He was such a sport and even wants to go next year. Our mission was a 399 couch and love seat combo. What a DEAL! After 3.5 hours in the cold the couch was mine. Its better looking in person. SO EXCITED!

The Thanksgiving of Dax

2011-11-26T20:10:00.000-08:00

Thanksgiving last year was the year of Boston where I only took pictures of Boston. I forgot to get the camera out until people were going home this year. Dax got a hold of my camera and took some pretty sweet pictures of himself. I had to giggle when I review them. Oh I love that kid!! He even did his part for the Thanksgiving program at school for us. I taught the children the art of planking. It was a great Thanksgiving with my wonderful family we are very blessed!

PaRk cItY 2011

2011-11-13T15:47:00.000-08:00

We needed a break!! And Heidi want to go shopping in Park City. So I was on it and booked a condo in Park city. We got their Friday night. But on the way their we went to Cafe Rio Park City and I fought with the RUDE cashier about my missing punch card. I HATE terrible customer service! We got to our nice condo and made cake pops and played cards and GIGGLED!! Good times. Saturday it started to snow and it was nice to watch it from the cozy couch. We went to the outlets and shopped the afternoon away... With a stop for lunch at Subway. Joni's hiding her cookies in the pictures. The evening was spent making homemade pizza, hot tubing, and clue. I was accused of murdering Mr. Green in the study with the candlestick but I framed!! Oh the Giggling!!!!!! On Sunday we played with self timer on my camera for a group shot. It was a great weekend with the BESTIES!

Madi!!

2011-11-10T22:19:00.000-08:00

For Madi's birthday in July I promise to go play tennis with her in October when it wasn't a million degrees anymore we finally went to the tennis courts. I'm terrible at sports! She taught my how to play tennis. It's not my game. But it was fun to spent time with my girl!! We played soft ball after tennis which is the game she is amazing at!! She is a fancy team that plays all over. Soft ball isn't my game either. After she broke my finger with the ball I decided to do something I was good at SHOPPING!! It was a great afternoon with my favorite girl in the world!!

Halloween 2011

2011-11-10T21:55:00.000-08:00

Halloween was on a Monday this year which is the night I go to night school (Math is right now) I had a hour break between work and class. I went to class in my costume. The first pictures are a stake Halloween dance a week or two before Halloween. The pictures are upside down for some reason. Then the pictures of my nephew Dax are next (Madi went out tricking treating moments before I got to her house no picture of her) But Dax is really scary in these picture and cutie! Kyler, Hazen, and Boston were the only full family I got a picture myself. I have a picture of the George boys on my phone but I have to find that card thing to pull them off. Maybe I will do it tomorrow. I'm Lucy from I love Lucy not Flo from progressive dumb people of the world!! My co worker being punched is my FAVORITE picture of Halloween 2011

2011-10-29T23:59:00.000-07:00

MATH!!! For 6 weeks most of my free time has been spent figuring out what x,y,and z are in a equation. I'm sick of it!!! Really math people I haven't used this since I learned it the first time in Jr high. I will never use it again. Even if Heidi my best friend says I will. I think she is lying to make me not freak out. Oh it 1am by the way on Saturday while Sunday I guess. I had to vent and take a break from the Math! 4 weeks until I never have to take math again!!! I need a paper chain to count down the weeks. My calculator is not shiny as the picture but it is PINK!! Back to the math venting is over

2011-10-11T16:50:00.000-07:00

We went to Bear Lake to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday. It was cold and rainy but we had a blast playing games, watching movies, playing just dance, wild life hunting, four wheeling, and swimming. I had a 2 hour nap!! Best nap of the year! I love my family! Hazen (his on the right of the picture above) is favorite by the way that little boy melts my heart!!

SURPRISE MOM!!!

2011-09-18T21:05:00.001-07:00

My mom's birthday fell on a Saturday this year. I planned since July to have my Aunts met her for breakfast for a surprise. They rarely see each other so it was so fun to plan this surprise. I told her I was taking her out to breakfast to celebrate. We drove to Salt Lake to the Grand America hotel for breakfast. She was shocked just by the hotel. Add her sister for a surprise was the BEST PRESENT EVER. She was so surprised I loved surprising her. We took pictures of course. It was a GREAT morning.

2011-09-18T20:46:00.000-07:00

2011-09-13T19:23:00.000-07:00

WOW! It's been a another six months... Year one since my wonderful stay in the hospital for my life changing experience. In the last year I have changed so much I think.. I have grown and learned what I want from this time on earth. I'm grateful for the time the Lord has been blessed me with. My schoolin' or Kollege has really been a blessing in my life. I have learned so much and met new life long friends. I try to be in the moment instead of worried about the future. Life is good. Hard sometimes and the tears come. But it's going to be O.K. because I'm very good looking. I found a great saying that says it all.

The best thing about the future is that it comes on day at a time.

I would of taken a picture of myself but it's been a crazy busy September and I'm a Kollege listening to a boring

power point in this moment.

Off to the Prom!

2011-08-29T05:17:00.000-07:00

The Leavitt's invited me on the back school picnic up Ogden canyon again this year. I had my hair in a up do from church and when I walked in the door David said "were not going to Prom Chelsea" I told him to shut it. lol. We had one of the greatest time there. I haven't gone in the last few years to annual picnic. I had a BLAST!! I got wet in the river with the boys. Took a nap in the lawn chair. Played apples to apples. Giggled of course. It was a great way to say goodbye to summer. It's been the best summer ever so I'm sad to see it go.

Kimby came to play!!

2011-08-29T05:10:00.000-07:00

Friday night was a great night!! Kimby came up from Provo to play and we swim, played just dance 2, and had a BBQ. It was so fun to see kimby giggle again!! It warms my heart.

My co worker got re married in the Catholic church. She looked beautiful and it was fun to see the difference in churches

Madi's 11th birthday was next on my list.. She is getting to big to quick

Then Courtney, my mom, and me went to my 2nd cousins bridal shower. I was a lot of fun to see my dad's side of the family again.

Dear tower of terror I hate you!!

Love,

Chelsea

There are no words to describe how much FUN I had with my besties at Disneyland. We laughed so much, ate so much, and rode so much. I still hate the tower of terror and splash mountain but I will go on it once a trip. I over packed and took up most the trunk. It's a good way for Shantel to practice her tetris skills. 5 days in Disneyland 9 away from home was a nice break. Lucky my friends are zero drama or I think we would of had a hard time that long together. Next London for the Olympic 2012. (A girl can dream RIGHT?)

2011-06-07T17:51:00.000-07:00

My car radio says it all! LOW FUEL!! I feel the same way car!!
My car hasn't been washed or cleaned out since um I wrecked it in February! That's right 4 months ago. The guard at the IRS told me my car was gross and I should wash it. That was 2 months ago. I took as her challenge not to wash it. Now don't think in my home I live in is filthy. I'm very OCD at house with cleaning.

Rain/dirt storm came by and I couldn't take it anymore so today I give up and vacuumed and washed it.

That is milk from a my boss grand baby spilled.

from April

I beat the car mat on the back of the car.

DIRTY!!

All cleaned

2 hours later!!

I think that the bank who owes most of the car still should of helped clean the car or paid me for clean it. That's just my thought. Hi ladies from my bank who read my blog..

Drive in again!!

2011-06-06T19:09:00.000-07:00

Some of friends and me went to the drive in.. Kassie and Chelsey went to Pirates 4. Since I had seen it Dave and me went to Xmen. It was SO good!!! Then we stayed for Fastfive but I fell a sleep a bit.. But I had not seen 1- 4 of those movies. But I did have 2 Mt Dew Pitch black so I was a little hyper and loud before the caffeine wore off. I give up caffeine in April but sometimes I fall off the wagon. Dave pushed me off the wagon by buying me 2 Mt Dew. I had a lot of FUN!!

I went to the drive in with the gang this weekend. I told Dave I want to go the Drive in this weekend and he was like OK. Even if it was a little cold still but I get my way. We saw some dumb movies but it was fun to laugh. It's like I'm a teenager again.. but with money and no curfew. I love it.

The extremes in car rental

2011-04-05T05:37:00.000-07:00

So a month ago I wrecked my car and had a rental. The world's smallest compact. See posts below... Today my car is in the shop for warranty repair(warranty expires April 1 I was right on it March 31) Anyways after lots of car dealership drama.. I WILL NEVER buy a car from LARRY H. MILLER Chrysler, jeep, dodge. Nor should you.. Ken Graff has my car over night. So I took advantage of the rental car clause in my warranty. The only choice was this GIANT ride. Craig is pretty jealous he had to take it out for a drive last night.

Goofin' off

2011-04-05T05:31:00.000-07:00

At work every 2 weeks we get a new cardboard cutout to announces new books in the gift shop. My co workers were like Chelsea want your picture taken with Belle? Well Yeah was my response. Last time it was cutout Elvis and I never got my picture with him.. Sad

Only in Provo..

2011-03-26T21:24:00.000-07:00

The David the only way the Provo would do it...

I had a fun 24hrs in Provo with my friends Shantel and Kimby..

I love these girls.. I have the best times with them. That why I have a lot of trips to Provo lately. It's one of my favorite places to escape to after a horrible week of work.

Alice

2011-03-22T15:12:00.000-07:00

This my best friend April's new baby Alice!! She is adorable!! I loved going to meet her on Saturday night.

I got a FEATHER!!

2011-03-22T14:29:00.000-07:00

To get a feather is doing something that just comes out of nowhere. I was bored this last Saturday(Since FINALLY quitting Lane Bryant last month) I'm a free woman on Saturday. I decided to borrow Heidi's carpet cleaner and clean my carpet. I pulled all the furniture out of my room.. Then my feather came I should just paint the room and clean the carpet. Kill two birds and a stone(My dad telling me I say this phase wrong DUH! I think it's funny) So here I go....

I cleaned the walls!

I patched the holes and edged

One wall done

Hi Mom!!

I finished 8 hours later... I pulled a muscle in my leg with my hard work.

Rango!!

2011-03-07T04:54:00.000-08:00

My rental!!

2011-02-12T16:26:00.000-08:00

So I'm a terrible person and I hit a lab dog. It was late and dark and I didn't see it. It was on riverdale road. Hopefully the dog lived. Someone was helping it when I turn around to check on it. But other then that I don't know what happened. That is why I'm a terrible person. Why I have posted a picture of a Chevy Aveo on my blog... The dog did 1200 dollars worth of damage to the stupid G6 of course... I took the G6 to get repaired cause things were dragging, hanging and making terrible noises. I have rental car on my insurance. I had the gutless chevy aveo for 3 days and I loved it. I think I just that it was brand new I loved the most. But it had to come to a end my love. I got a very clean and shiny G6 back after the 3 days. OH MAN does the G6 haul. Oh that's why I upgraded from my last car which was a V4 to a V6.... I have the tickets to prove it. lol. It was a nice eye opener and vacation from my normal car..

So this is Christmas!! The family had a wonderful Christmas together. We are VERY blessed to live so close together and able to get together. I loved every minute of it. The kids are the best part! They are all wonderful gifts to our family. Thanks for keeping up with us this year. I'm sure your up for some good times in 2011 from the Martindale's/George's. p.s. My dad is not wearing a U of U hat on Christmas. It's a Oakley Hornets hat from his high school. We still run blue here. All is well.

Temple Lights

2010-12-23T04:56:00.000-08:00

This is my trip down to see the lights. Normal I would go on a date to the lights. But since every guy I've dated this year has turned to be a GIANT LOSER,(if you normally talk to me you know who I'm talking about. You could of refer to the last few years of my blog log "temple lights" but losers postings get deleted) I decided to go with the Leavitts. It was lots of fun. I really enjoy going to the lights every year.

Cassi!!!

2010-12-22T16:35:00.000-08:00

This is very dear friend Cassi. We went to Savior of the World on a saturday in December. Then we went to the little chocolatires choclate shop from the tv special on TLC. It's in the avenues in SLC. We got hot choclate and it was YUMMY!! I had picture of me too but I delete it off the camera on accident. Ray was there too. But I'm not a fan of Ray. So I don't take his picture or ask him to be in any. I'm a jerk. I think that Ray feels the same about me. His kinda jerk. Anyways, It was nice to be forced to go somewhere other then work on a Saturday.

2010-12-05T10:07:00.000-08:00

So Beautiful.

Baby Carter's train tree.

April my friend best friend Heather had a tree in the festival of tree this year. Carter her son passed away earlier this year. Carter had chromosomal disorder. His family is dear to my heart and I wanted to support Team Carter. Heather and Mike are the strongest people I know. What a blessing Carter was and is still to this world. One of God very best Angels now watching over us. We had such a great time at the event and I was thankful I was able to go with my friends. And with every great event you must end it with a caramel apple.... Genius way to cut them but still I was sticky after.. Lickin the bowl was not the best idea but worth it. If you want to learn about sweet Carter his blog is: Teamcarter.blogspot.com

A day at Doctor Z

2010-10-13T20:34:00.000-07:00

I had a FUN doctor visit today. I had to get some simply blood tests. Three tubes total. Easy breezy RIGHT??? Well I was so WRONG. My veins were like NO way. Dear nurse Juile try and try to get blood from my veins. The veins would roll and hide. I think my veins are onto the doctors now. 8 different spots and they found a vein. I'm on BLOOD THINNERS it's shouldn't be this hard to get blood from me. I had to have the nurse take my picture cause it was just funny. We had some the laughs the nurses and me. She told me not to be smiling for my pictures. I excited I don't have to go back to this doctor for 3 months. I bet Julie will miss me. I should pop in for a visit. I also should go to the hospital and see my favorite nurse in the WORLD Nurse Lori! I'm the only person in the world that got a THANK YOU note from Nurse Lori. THANK you Chelsea for being sick or I'm so glad you went home I'm not sure.

2010-10-03T16:13:00.000-07:00

I had so much fun with the ladies in Park City. We had some bumps in the road getting there. But no flat tire would stop us. It's Joni my dear friend 30th birthday next weekend we went to celerbrate. I forgot to take picture the first night. So I took pictures of us getting ready. We eat and eat and eat. At a store the pillow looked like someone skinned elmo.

Peach Days 2010!!

2010-10-03T15:22:00.001-07:00

I LOVE Peach Days. I was very lucky to go this year with being still healing from the hospital visit. 4 days after getting out of the hospital it was Peach days. Heidi said I couldn go only I was pushed around in a wheelchair. But I'm SUPER stubborn and got my way and got to go wheelchairless. My dear friend Dave was very sweet and went with me. He finally asked to go home after many hours of being walked. lol. (Inside Joke). Here are the few pictures. Classic girls picture with sweet Dave. Little Ben wanted to climb the rock wall. Heidi and Dave. Shantel with her true love Peach Pie

Boring.....

2010-09-29T05:09:00.000-07:00

I have done nothing fun this month.... Work, school, doctor appointments. Work, school, doctor appointments.... Same old. I went to the movies FINALLY. I go to the movies at least twice a month. Sometimes 4 times a month depending on if there is lots movies I want to see come out. But I went at least 4 weeks WITHOUT go to the mega plex. Carol the ticket taker must of missed me I bet. I didn't miss her. Carol favorite movie is Pearl Harbor?? Your kidding me right? Out of million of movies you chose Pearl Harbor to put on your name badge as your movie favorite. Come on Carol go with a classic like Gone with the Wind or Casablanca something epic not Pearl Harbor. Pearl harbor was cool 10 years ago..That's my rant on Carol.
My friends and me saw YOU AGAIN. It was funny and a good time. I should post the movie poster under typing BUT I don't know how. This coming weekend the girls and I heading to Park City for the weekend. Joni turns 30 next week.... I should have some pictures for you(brenda lol) my only reader next week.

Oh MY!

2010-09-16T15:14:00.000-07:00

So for everyone who didn't know I spent Labor Day this year in Ogden Regional Hospital with blood clots in my lungs. Not my favorite way to spend 4 days. I had lots and lots of visitors! The nurses said I had a endless line of people visiting me all day everyday. I FEEL THE LOVE!! After finally being FREED from my prison term on Tuesday I decided NEVER to go to jail I would never make it. My room was small the door was locked out to the garden. I'm doing lots better now. Thanks everyone for all the prayers for me. I know the Lords needs me here still to do his work. I'M SO BLESSED and LUCKY to be ALIVE.

MUD!!

2010-08-31T14:51:00.000-07:00

My ward had a contest Boys vs Girls on who could get the higher percentage of Hometeaching/ Visiting teaching. OF course the ladies RULE and we WON! Punishment for the losers(Smelly BOYS) was a car wash. Landon, Beans and I collected mud from the garden(worms and everything) watered it down to a nice muddy watery Mud and then applied it ALL over my car. It was a fun time for my nephew. And it ended in a water fight of course. The Wards boys looks on their faces were classic when I drove up. I will be laughing for years about this.
