*DELICATE ARCH*

We all went and hiked to delicate arch on monday, our last day in moab. it was such a blast! I had no idea Aage had never EVER hiked up to the arch! so it was really neat to be able to be there for his first time! also christie and julie have been calling each other every morning for the past 2 months and have been going to the gym! Christie had made it a goal that when we all hiked up there she was going to hike ALL THE WAY to the arch. I am so proud of her for setting such a goal, and for going to the gym everyday ! when i won't get up my lazy ass in the morning and go myself! this was a very cool expierence! not only was it aage's first time being up there, christie had this goal, and Arian was with me! she had never been either. The funny thing is, Aage kept up with all the kids the WHOLE time and got to the arch 30 mins before the rest of us! i was a little worried he'd have a heart attack, but he didn't and he did a great job! I can't say this enough i AM SO PROUD OF YOU CHRISTIE! WAY TO GO SISTAH! ok here are some pics of all of us at the arch! enjoy! (all of these are from my phone, remember i thought my camera was broke)

*pippi's pasta pavillion*

so today while i was at work i got a phone call from arian. she wanted to know if i could come up to grandpa kerby's for dinner and a sleep over tonight. I said yes but i still have to work in the morning but that's fine. so i leave work early so i can head up there and hit traffic, on the way up and i call arian and tell her i'm going to be alittle bit late. She says that is fine just call me when you get here. don't come in the house. so i do as i'm told. I call her the second i get to grandpa's house and she says ok hold on peggy is going to come answer the door. So i'm waiting and my dad comes walking around the corner of the house. And he tells me that he has had to wait outside until i arrived at the house. which i'm sure was a long time! but anyhow peggy opens the door and arian is waiting for us with MENUS to PIPPI'S PASTA PALVILLION"










HERE IS A SIGN WITH THE SPEACIALS. TODAY'S SPEACIAL'S WERE SPAGHETTI WITH MEAT SAUCE, CAESER SALAD, GARLIC BREAD, AND CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH SPRINKLES. HERE IS A PIC OF ALL THE YUMMY FOOD THAT CHEF PIPPI AND HER ASSISTANT PIGGELETTO MADE FOR US. THIS WAS THE BEST DINNER I HAVE EVER HAD! WAY BETTER THEN THE OLD SPAGHETTI FACTORY AND THE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WAS 100 TIMES BETTER THEN BRICK OVEN! THE CAESER SALAD WAS JUST A MOUTHFUL OF DELICIOUSNESS! CHEF PIPPI AND HER ASSISTANT PIGGELETTO DID SUCH AN AMAZING JOB! WE EVEN HAD A CHOICE FOR "DRINKS SPARKIING WINE" OR CRANBERRY JUICE. SO YUMMY I RECOMMEND THIS WONDERFUL RESTAURANT TO ALL OF YOU! VERY DELICIOUS.

*my crazy week*

Ok..well it first started off with this guy I recently became friends with. He called me after not speaking to him for about 2 weeks and just basically wanted to say hi. Well after he did that I spoke to my friend and she told me all of this stuff that happened one friday night. I was like what!? Are you kidding me! Well supposedly my guy friend had been over to her house with this chic we went to highschool with. Well she is married and her hubby had been out of town for the week and she and my guy friend had been hanging out the whole week.... That's not too bad. But my friend told me when he and this chic showed up to her house they looked like they did something they shouldn't. So I'm all what a piece of shit! Are you kidding me? Why the hell would he do that if his wife cheated on him? Well I asked him and he denied it of course, so that night I went to the bar with my friends and this guy I had been playin pool with asked me awhile later and said tania are you doing better? Because no one should ever have a hold of anyone like they do of you. Right when he said that I seriously had an "ah ha" moment sort of! I was all your so right! I don't even know you and these 3 dumb ass people have caused so much drama in my life that I was so upset at the bar everyone could tell and I shouldn't have gone. So I want to say thank you to guy at the bar that said that to me! The next day my mom had surgery. She was going to have her stomach removed, but ended up only having to have the opening to her stomach widened. Which is a less invasive surgery then the other they were going to do. I have been so worried about her for 6 weeks and I am so grateful that she is ok, and that the surgery went well. She is still in the hospital until Monday. But she is doing well. I just love her to pieces! And on another note, Troye and arian are here! They have been here for about 2 weeks now. I just adore those 2 and love them to pieces! Arian is now 5'4 she is 4 inches taller then me! And she's 12! And just the most beautiful 12 year old I've ever met! Just wanted to catch ya'll up on my crazy week!
