Halloween 2008

Hello everyone! Sorry this took a little longer then it should have for the Halloween pics. I've been a slacker...But, seeing as how my job is cutting everyone's hours back a full day each, I will have more time to work on my blog:) Yeah, I am pretty bummed out, New Balance isn't doing so hot at this point. So I am super sick this weekend...and so I am just sitting here on my day off bored out of my mind, eating my prunes (don't ask why I am eating them...). Anything new...well, guess what everybody!? Annette is almost ready to turn her mission papers in! All I have left is to get some shots and talk with the Stake Pres! I am so close and getting so excited to get them in! I bought a camera for my mission, and it takes video! So my first trial shot was of Graydon dancing to Jack the Pumpkin king singing his little heart out:) I miss you guys and hope everyone is doing well! Love you all!!!!

It's party time!

Hello everybody!! So sorry for taking so stinkin' long on putting new pictures up! I have been a slacker. I'm not really sure how much anyone looks at my blog anyways...haha. Well, moving on to the big and exciting news!!...hmm....was there any? I'm working at New Balance again..It's going well, Lee is working with me now on the weekends. It's pretty sweet, like having a big brother there. Work is alright, just lacing shoes up for smelly old people:) I'm trying to decided what to go to school for right now. I am considering majoring in Fine Arts and focusing on Photography.. being an Esthetician (skin care and makeup) or Dental Assisting. It's tough deciding, mostly between the makeup and photography. I won't stop doing photography no matter what I go to school for. So that's my big decision right now. I still think about a mission, I am just waiting for the right time to go. I haven't felt right about going right now. I am also proud to announce that I am NOT dating anyone whatsoever!! It is so nice, I don't have to worry about dumb guys trying to marry me...muhahahahahaha!! I am also on this reading kick right now, I can't get enough! Especially with all of Stephanie Meyer's books! I finished Breaking Dawn a week or two ago, and still can't stop thinking about it! Anyone who hasn't read them, DO IT! That means you too MICAH! If Gramps can do it with as much enthusiasm as us, you can too! Haha:) I started writing a book...I had Chantel read the first few pages I have so far and she says she really likes it:) I know she's just being nice. I don't know how great of a writer I am, but I thought I would give it a shot:) I've been drawing some comics...so I'll add my New Balance Comic I drew a month ago..it's so true by the way. Old people are nuts...especially Sun City Geriatrics. They come in wearing short shorts, large belt buckles, cow boy boots and some sweet hats...those are the really fun one's to help:) Oh! Also, we have been having some pretty sweet lightning and thunderstorms lately. Last night a loud crack of thunder woke me up and I think I crapped my pants:) Good thing for bed pans.... Well...things are well with good old Annette. Hope you all are well! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!! Until next time....

Christmas 2007

Hey Everyone! I just wanted to update you all on my life in AZ! I am still preparing for a mission:) I am taking the Mission Prep class at the institute and love it. The teacher is amazing and I am so grateful for the opportunity that I will have to serve as a full time missionary! I'm the class president and so I am getting to know all my classmates, which are mostly 18 year old boys:) ha ha, the nice thing is none of them can bother me! I STEER CLEAR from the Branch, I have gotten so tired of the "single" attitude that some people have and I don't really care to socialize much these days. I think I've turned into a weirdo or something...ha ha. Chantel and I socialize with each other by scaring eachother while hiding in dark musty corners:) I'm going to the home ward which is nice, but sometimes a little dull. The people are nice and friendly though. The weather has been AWESOME lately, I went swimming 2 days ago and the pool was only about 58 degrees. For some strange reason it wasnt so bad to me. Maybe it's that I got used to the cold this winter. But anyways, I am just trying to stay focused and study hard. I love life right now and know it will continue to get better...here's some pictures from Christmas!
