LIFE

Life has been super crazy lately! I got a job finally! I now work at Convergys. It's a pretty good job. I work there full time and I get paid pretty good, so I'm excited to work there!

My life schedule:
*Wake up at about 7 sometimes 3 in the morning depending on what time my brother works to watch the kids.
*Stef gets home from work at about 1 so that's what time I shower and get ready
*Go to work at three-thirty
*Get off work at midnight and come home

That's what my life basically consits of so I don't get much time to do anything, I hardly get time to sleep. I have Saturdays and Sundays off which is good because that's the time I have to catch up on my sleep unless I babysit.

This is kind of off topic but it has to do with my life. I LOVE my ward in Cedar City. They're so welcoming, loving, and kind! I go to a family ward so that I can take Rachel. I also just don't really like singles wards. Singles wards are basically like seminary for 3 hours. You get those people who text constantly or talk constantly, those people who make smart remarks because they don't want to be there, and people who think they're better than everybody else and have to comment for like an hour about everything! I also hate how singles wards are basically to push you to get married. I go to church to better myself and to feel the spirit, I don't go to church to find a guy to get married.

I was so scared at first going into a home ward because I thought I was going to get a visiting teaching partner who was like 80 who I had to drive around. My visiting teaching partner is actually only 21 and we visit teach a girl who is 19 so it's pretty exciting. (:

Other than church, work, and babysitting I really have no life! I love my life nonetheless and I wouldn't do anything to change it. I have awesome friends and family who are always there to help me and support me when I need them! (:

SISTERS

This isn't the best picture of me and my sister, but it's the only one I have on my computer right now! I love my sister! We are five years apart, and yet so close. Growing up she was always the bossy one. She definitely played the "big" sister role. She always wanted the bigger stuff, she gave me the things she didn't want, and she bossed me around A LOT. I was the little annoying one who didn't ever want to help her clean our room, I just wanted to run around and play. I always wanted to hang out with my sister and her friends which she didn't always like. She wanted her alone time alot, but I loved my sister. I looked up to my sister a lot. She started playing tennis, and so I started playing tennis. Almost everything that my sister did, I wanted to be just like her. Sometimes we were the best of friends, and sometimes we were the worst enemies!


Riley and Rachel are about the same as me and my sister. They're about four and a half years apart. Riley is the bossy older sister. She controls what she gets, and gives Rachel what she doesn't want. Rachel won't help Riley clean their room, she just runs around and plays! Rachel just loves her sister so much. She wants to see her all of the time. Whenever they're together they always fight, but whenever they're apart they whine that they want to see eachother. Rachel looks up to Riley so much. Every time Riley does something or everytime she has a toy, Rachel wants to be just like her. It's crazy how these two are so much alike me and my sister! (:

LOVE < 3

Frist of all I don't like Valentine's Day for the fact that a lot of people just give their lovers flowers because they feel "forced" or they feel guilty that they don't give their lover flowers because it's a holiday. I don't even like to call it a holiday, it's just another day. Valetine's day is actually the day that Saint Valentine was murdered, so there you go, let's celebrate somebodies death by giving each other flowers! I would rather get flowers and be loved on some random day than get flowers on the same day as everybody else. It's not as special, and not as unique. I would want it to be special for me, not shared by everybody else.

Even though I don't like to celebrate Valentine's Day, I do believe in love. I would just like to dedicate a post to the people in my life that I love, even though I tell them all the time.

I love my parents. My dad has been my biggest supporter through everything. He always encouraged me to get good grades and to do my best in life. He played tennis with my countless number of hours. He always helped me with my homework and my computer problems. My dad is truely amazing. My mom has helped me so much in life. She is the strongest person I know, and she has the most faith of everybody I know. My testimony grows stronger everyday because of her. She makes me want to continue to better myself. I love her so much!

I love my siblings. Travis, Jeremy, Tyler, Nathan, Tiffany, Justin, and Adam. I love them all. We have faught, laughed, smiled, cried, yelled, and loved each other. I love them for different reasons. They have all supported me and I love them for that!

I love my nieces and nephews. Little kids just bring such a light into my life. They make life seem so simple! I love spoiling each one of them. One day I would love to be a mother, but for now I get to enjoy spoiling and loving my nieces and nephews.

I love my friends. Jessica Colby has been my best friend since I was very young! She has been there for me through some of my hardest times in life! We have gotten into so many fights, but nothing can ruin our true friendship. I love her to death! Jennifer Jensen is such an amazing person. I met her in high school. I love talking with her, shopping with her, and running with her. Naomi Snow is such an amazing example to me. She has such a strong testimony and I look up to her for that. We are very similar and I love that. I just love her. (:. I love all of my tennis girls! I loved our time working hard, having fun, talking, laughing, messing around, and our bus trips. My tennis girls have supported me throughout high school and they've always been there to cheer me on.

I love all of my aunts, uncles, and cousins. I have such a huge family and I love it! I love getting together with all of my family. We love to play spoons, scum, and smash. We are very voilent. We have broken bones, ripped a blanket, and broken a table while playing spoons. Even though we have a huge family, I have a special and different relationship with each one of them!

Elizabeth Ann Frisbie

I am an aunt again! YAY! On January 17th my sister-in-law had her baby. Nathan and Amanda decided to name her Elizabeth Ann Frisbie. She is named after both grandmas, and two aunts. My mom's and my sister Tiffany's middle name is Ann, and Amanda's mom's and her sister's middle name is Elizabeth. Also, my niece Riley's middle name is Elizabeth so she was really excited.(: Elizabeth looks exactly like my grandma Christofferson (my mom's mom). I love her so much! Compared to Rayson she is so tiny! She is way sweet, I could hold her all day!


Xander just loves his little sister! Most youngest kids will get jealous because they're not getting as much attention but Xander is just the opposite. He absolutely adores his little sister. (:



Papa and Elizabeth.



Nate is so excited to be a dad. I am so proud of my brother and the steps that he had to take to get to this place in his life. He had to turn his life completely around. He is a great dad!



Grandma and the babies. She just loves them so much. Even though she can't get up a do a lot of things she is still an awesome grandma and an excellent mom! The kids absolutely love her!



I love her lots! Compared to Rayson so is so tiny so I could hold her all day long.



I love this picture. My mom would NOT let anybody hold her. Once she got her, there was no getting her back. My mom loves Elizabeth!



I have never seen a baby stick out their tongue as much as Elizabeth does. She loves her tongue!



And yet again, her tongue. (:

Merry Christmas!

Since I am living with my brother, I got to be in their family Christmas picture this year. We weren't even going to do a picture, but considering we have three brothers in jail and a sister in Georgia, we thought it would be a good Christmas present!

Christmas this year was good, but it definitely didn't feel like Christmas. There was no snow! I have had a white Christmas before, but I have definitely never had a "wet" christmas before. I was so sick of the rain. This was also my first Christmas away from home, so that just added on to the non Christmas feeling. This year I had to work the day before and the day after Christmas, which wasn't exactly fun.

On Christmas Even we went to our cousin Kolden's house. We ate dinner with her and her family and just talked for a while. Once we got home we had to wait for Rachel to get to bed so we could wrap her presents and put them under the tree. Getting her to go to bed is nearly impossible! We were up until about 2 in the morning before we could wrap her presents! The reason we don't wrap her presents before is because she would unwrap them before christmas.

Christmas morning Trav, Stef, and I woke up before the kids did! We went and woke up Rachel and she was super ornery! We told her that Santa had came and she could honestly care less. Then we told her that he brought her presents and she jumped right up and ran into the living room! As soon as she got in there she just started grabbing presents and wanting to open them. She thought ALL of the presents were her's! We had to explain to her that Santa had brought all of us presents.

After we opened presents we went to pick up Riley from her mom's and then we headed to Beaver to visit my brother Tyler. Visting Tyler was probably the best part of my Christmas. I miss him so much! It makes me sad when my brothers make stupid mistakes to get them in trouble because I love them so much and I want them to do good!

Riley got to open her presents when we got home. Santa brought her a bike and she was way excited! Rachel got pots and pans to cook like her mom, and she also got a cinderella baby with a stroller and a swing. Rachel loves being like her mom. Rayson got a toy that he absolutely loves! I got him a little monkey suit and he looks so cute in it! (:

I got to come home on the 27th and visit with my parents. It's nice visiting with my parents. My parents spoil me so much! Most youngest kids will tell you that they are not spoiled, but I definitely am spoiled. I was expecting to get maybe like one little present since i am moved out now. I got and iPod touch, $50 iTunes card, $60 maurices card, CTR ring/necklace, and a movie! All of my other siblings got chocolates and a present for each of their kids!

I also got to visit with my brother Nathan and his family when I came home because they came and visited for a couple of days. They were going to stay longer, but they weren't even supposed to come at all because Amanda's doctor didn't want her to travel. She is due in about a month, but she has never carried a baby full term so she could have it any day. Since it snowed they decided they better go home before get stuck here without her doctor, which is totally understandable.

Christmas ended up being pretty good this year! It was fun to see the kids excitement when they saw that Santa had came and brought them presents. Kids definitely make Christmas exciting!

Rayson Travis Frisbie

On August 19 my nephew, Rayson Travis Frisbie, was born. He was 8 lbs 12 ounces. I was soo excited to have a new nephew! We got a call that night from my brother and he said that his son wasn't doing very good. he said that Rayson wasn't breathing on his own so he had to be life-flighted to a different hospital! It was soo scary! We prayed a lot, and we even fasted. Every time I talked to my brother he said that the baby was just doing worse. My brother told me that every time he went in there it was so scary to watch his sons lungs sink in everytime he went to take a breath. It just made me want to cry. :(

After about four days baby Rayson started to do a little better. He gradually got better and he got to go home after about a week. He still has to be on oxygen, but we're very thankful that the cute little boy is a little better and got to come home! All of the prayers, fasting, and faith really helped. I'm thankful for God and all that he does for us, we truely are blessed!

summer games

A couple of years ago Adriane Weihing, my doubles partner my sophomore and junior year, decided to go play in the summer games. We didn't do very well, basically we got screwed over but we won't get into that. We got 4th place, and we were only 1 point away from getting the bronze medal. We had fun, just wished we would've done better.

Last year I didn't get to go to summer games because I had girls camp. I was soo mad that they were both the same time. My first thought was that I was NOT going to girls camp because I had to go to summer games. After a couple of talks and a lot of thinking, I decided that girls camp was the better choice, and that I was going to survive even though I had to miss something VERY important to me.

This year I looked at the dates and I was soo excited to find that they weren't at the same time and I would be able to go to both. Girls camp got pushed back a week this year because of bad weather previous years, so I got to go to both. :) I signed myself up for singles (which I have NEVER played). The day after I signed myself up I asked Gabbi Guymon, my tennis partner this year, if she wanted to come play with me. She couldn't come because she was trying out for Snow College softball and she needed to get ready for that, and she was also on two county softball teams.

After I found out that Gabbi couldn't go, I asked Adri if she wanted to come play with me. She also couldn't go because she was taking her finals for her college class the same time.

I was soo dissapointed when I found out that both of them couldn't do it because I love playing doubles, it's what I play!

I decided to text Marqui Moss, who was 2nd doubles on varsity this year, and she's only been playing for a year. I never got a text back from her, so I just assumed that she didn't want to come play with me. I texted a couple of other girls that I thought might be at the level of play for summer games but they both couldn't go.

About two days before the final deadline to register, I decided to text marqui again to ask her. I looked at my phone right after I sent the text and it said "invalid destination". So I looked at my previous texts and they also didn't send, so that's why she never texted me back. She doesn't have texting. I called her that night and talked to her. Her and her parents thought it was a great idea but they had to talk it out and figure everything out and they would tell me the next day.

The next day was Thursday and it was the night of "The Last Run For Coach Gardner". I saw her and the run, and she told me that she could go. Right after the run I ran home so that I could hurry and register her before the deadline. The website wouldn't let me register her and I was sooo frustrated!! Luckily, I knew the lady in charge pretty well, so I got ahold of her and she got her registered and everything was good.

About a week before summer games my dad told me that I needed to drive because he had to go to Beaver the next day and he couldn't leave my mom home alone. The day before we had to leave, my car basically died. I was so frustrated and I didn't know what to do. My dad, being the amazing person that he is, decided that he would drive us, come back to Castle Dale, go to Beaver the next day, come back to Castle Dale, then on Saturday he would come back for my nieces birthday party and to pick us up. Keep in mind that he was doing all of this with a hurt knee, driving a stick shift! He is such an amazing person, and he has supported me in tennis more than anybody!

I was soo nervous to play! I didn't know what kind of competition I was up for, and I didn't even really know how well I would do at singles because I don't play singles. We were really busy because I was playing singles, Marqui was playing singles, and we were playing doubles. We didn't exactly have a lot of time to do anything. We had to go check in at SUU before every match to get our tennis balls and then go to wherever we were playing which was either SUU, Cedar High, or Canyon View. Every one of our matches the first day were at different locations. It was soo crazy.

My first match went really well and I won the girl that I played 6-0, 6-0. Marqui also won her first singles match. My second match that night didn't go very well because this girl was AMAZING. I lost by a TON! Marqui also lost her second match. Me and marqui both won our third match. I wont my third match 6-2, 6-1. Our fourth match we had to play against each other. I won Marqui 6-1, 6-2. That means she was out of the tournament because she had lost two matches, but she got 4th so that's good. The next day I played for 2nd place. I had to play against a girl that Marqui had lost to so I was nervous. I played against her and I won her 6-4, 6-0. It was so exciting! I could NOT believe that I got 2nd place! The girl that got first sooo deserved it because she kicked everybodies butt! She was REALLY good. I won everybody else by a ton, and she beat me by a ton, so that just shows really how good she is!

Marqui and I won our first match by forfit. We also won our second match by forfit. There were these boys doubles there (they were SOOO freaking cute!) who were there and they had a forfit also, so we played against them. We won! It's not like it really counted, but it was soo fun to play against them. They were super funny and WAY super cute. haha :) The next day we played for the finals. We won the girls 6-2, 6-0. The girls that we won for Gold ended up getting the Silver, so even though we lost our other matches by forfit, we could've EASILY by any of the other teams because we won those girls by alot. They were actually a really good team, they played good, but we played REALLY good.

I just thought I would post this because it was way awesome that I got the gold in doubles and silver in singles. I had such a blast. Tennis is my favorite. I'm also glad that I got to stay at my brother's house. My sister in law cooked me good food, and I got to play with my adorable nieces. They are going to be tennis players just like me. They wanted to go play with me in all of my matches and everywhere I went, they wanted to go. I just love them soo much!

I also thought that it was way funny how everything ended up. I wasn't even going to get to go in the first place, we got there and won the first two matches by forfit, and I got two medals! It was crazy, but fun. :)
