Stylish Blogger Award... I know I am shocked too.

It's Sunday evening.

And you know what that means.

Time for a blog stocking. And catching up on my blogging.
Britt gave me the pictures from our Kingman trip last weekend.
A big THANKS to her. I know she was studying so hard and I begged her to give me.
Thanks for all your hard work sissy. I know it'll pay off.

I was checking my blog and noticed I had another comment on my blog I posted earlier this week
and one of my cute followers posed a cute comment and told me to take a look at her blog which is here.
She is a girl I went to high school with and I LOVE LOVE LOVE reading all of her blogs.
She really inspires me to blog more.
So I got the "Stylish Blogger Award"
I know I was shocked too! haha. But I am glad some people like to read my blog out there.

My AMAZiNG little BiG Sissy!

Last weekend I had an AMAZiNG time with my family and Nanny and Grandpa.

Britt Dre and I ventured down to Kingman to watch Addie play in one of her last games.

And she had an AMAZiNG game.

Number one. She was healthy enough to play.

that poor girl and her diabetes.

We never know how her health or blood sugar will be.

 Number two. She had....15 points. 13 assists. 10 rebounds.

One of her best games EVER.

And they WON!!!

I know there were lots of prayers for Addie and her team.

That's always a plus. It was such an intense game. I LOVED it.

It was cute her coach.

Coach Gonz is one awesome man.

He knew we were coming for her game. And after the game he told her.. "Addie I prayed that you would play you're best tonight for your sisters and your grandparents."

All I can say is HE is an awesome coach who plays his players because they are hard workers and they love they game and want to play the game. He recognizes players for their talents and abilities.

He doesn't play players because of who THEiR parents are.

Or what part of town they live in.

Or by their religion.

Or because they are a "headache"  BAHAHAH. Sorry I just had to throw that one in there for some people's enjoyment.

I am just thankful my sister FINALLY got some decent coaches. In both volleyball and basketball.

And the whole town and school can recognize someones talent for real reasons.

Not like the ones I posted above.

So the Kingman Daily Miner posted an amazing article on my sister and her day-to-day struggle with Type 1 Diabeties.

I don't think many people realize how hard it is and everything you have to go through.

All I know is my sister is STRONG and takes this with an open heart and mind and I am so proud of her.

Along with many of my other family members with Diabetics too.

I really hope one day they find a cure for this bad boy.

Anyways here is the ROCKiN article about my sissy.

Enjoy.

Christensen up to challenge Lady Bulldogs captain battles diabetes

JC AMBERLYN/Miner Senior Addie Christensen brings the ball up for Kingman High Jan. 21 against Goldwater. Christensen was diagnosed with diabetes when she was 2-1/2 years old and fights hard to stay on the floor. Shawn Byrne Sports Reporter KINGMAN - Baseball Hall-of-Famer Ty Cobb, Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, and former Gonzaga University basketball standout Adam Morrison all have something in common with Kingman High girls basketball player Addie Christensen. They played their sports with diabetes. Christensen, a senior captain on the team, moved to Kingman with her family from Utah last year. Everyone around her immediately noticed her athleticism, and the only regret was KHS hadn't had her since she was a freshman. What everyone soon discovered about Christensen is that she is the model of determination. "She has the heart of lion," KHS coach Danny Gonzalez said. "She's made me a better coach. I always thought that I watched my players carefully, but now I see the game differently. I now understand I have to listen to my players." Christensen wears an insulin pump under her uniform during games, and her diabetes isn't entirely under control. The senior missed just about the entire season last year and has missed a few games this year, too. She was out of school for two two-week periods last year, as she battled the disease. When her blood-sugar level is high, she can sometimes fight through it and continue to play. But when it's low, she has to get off the court. "Some days are more of a struggle," Christensen said. "Some have been where it's down for six to eight hours. We've asked tons of doctors, but we've got no answers. We're still trying to figure things out." Christensen was diagnosed when she was 2-1/2 years old, and it has become an accepted part of her life. Her parents, Jeff and Michelle Christensen, attend just about every game she plays, and though they have gotten used to seeing their youngest of three children exert herself, it's still not easy. "It is a little stressful," Michelle said. "Addie has always been good about it. She doesn't really know any different. It's her personality to go with the flow. She'll play whether it's high or low if she can." One of the most difficult aspects of her playing career and diabetes is when she recognizes she's getting tired and her energy level sinks. She has to make the decision to not play. "It's hard. I feel like I'm letting the team down, but I can't control it," Christensen said. "If I don't take myself out, it's just me being selfish because I'm not at my best." No coach wants to see one of their best players leave the court, but Gonzalez knows it's for the best. "She never gives up, and bless her, she can't control it," the coach said. "I've never heard any of my players complain about her not practicing in her two years here. That's because she presents herself well. I wouldn't change anything. I love that I've been able to coach her." When push comes to shove, Christensen would certainly be thrilled if a cure for diabetes would come along. However, it has played a large role in who she is as a person. "It makes me stronger, and it doesn't stop me from doing anything," she said. "It could be worse, and at least I can still play sports." Christensen hopes to be on the floor when the Lady Bulldogs host O'Connor at 7 p.m. today.

Bored Blog

I'm sitting here at school...facebook and blog stocking.

And whenever I blog stalk I tend to want to blog more than normal.

I want to do that 30 day challenge thing but I know I couln't blog everyday. But I sure could try right?

Today's been a really good day.

I made peace with a person. That was very very much needed.

I workd with a bunch of cute kiddos. Too bad most of them were sick and cranky today :(

And not being the most obident.

But I still love those little ones so very much.

Took Chris a "Swig" drink and a Snickers to work.

On a side note. Long story short he got another new job...

He is a salesmen for Sprint. YAY!

And I am now at school. Dreading to do my Math homework and study for Biology.

And I'm hoping I am going to get home in time to play basketball with Chris tonight.

...

On another tangent I am looking forward for our NOT-Suprise visit to Kingman this weekend.

My dad spilled the beans.
I am finally making it down to Kingman for Addie's last game ever.

But I know it'll be a great time!

That's all for now...

Let me know what you think about doing my own verson of the 30 day thing...

Bowling in Skeet Skeet

On Friday my roomie Susy asked if Chris and I wanted to go bowling with her and her friend Mani.

I asked Chris and he said yes. 

We also invited my cute new roomie Jacey.

So we were getting ready and found out the STG bowling alley was having bowling leagues going on so we'd have to wait to go bowling.

So I decided lets just go to Mesquete and go bowling.

And it was a great idea.

Chris bowled an amazing game.

He had 10 strikes!

Yup, you heard me right. 10 FREAKING STRIKES!

And I took a picture of it to prove how amazing he did.

Here are some pictures of our fun night.

New Hair Do.

I've been contemplating on doing my hair like this but the other day I finally did it.

I finally parted my hair down the middle and I love it.

I am putting the pic on my blog because I'd love to have my fellow blogger members think about it too.

So I hope you enjoy. I really like it I hope you do too.

A Rambeling Blog.... What I've been up to.

What I've been up to..... 

(The pictures on this post will be pictures from my camera phone so they are kinda crappy sorry)

Well school started this past week.

I have bittersweet feelings about this.

I am excited to be going to school with my big sissy.

Yes, Britt is going back to school.

She is doing all her pre-reqs for the nursing program.
Good luck sis!

I am slowly but surely getting closer to getting my assoicates.

I am going at my own pace. I am taking 11 credits this semseter.

I am taking math 2010. Bio 1010 (With Britt) and an online Cultural Diversity Class in Education.

I am really super excited.

On Tuesday of this week was the first day of school.

And MCC's always has free hot dogs on the first day of school.

Britt and I enjoyed it. But then Britt got a tummy ache :(

 Britt took this picture of me at school on the first day.

So I've really have been wanting my hair to be all super super blonde.

I live too far away from Melissa my cousin who usually colors my hair and I can't afford all the girls down here to color my hair.

So my dear sweet boyfriend said he would help me.

Tuesday night Chris helped me color my hair.

Thanks to Melissa for helping me with everything.

We started coloring it and Chris was doing awesome he was just going to town just doing work on my hair.

And the bleach was burning my neck and  head like no other. Then we ran out of hair dye. So pretty much the first try of coloring my hair was an epic FAIL!

Here was the first try.

My hair was orange and brown in the places where the bleach missed it. So we had to go to Walmart.

And I honestly went into the store with a hood on my head.

Then we bought some box dye. I was soo nervous to use blonde boy dye on my hair.

It was late at night I was cranky and Chris just kept putting up with me.

And my hair turned out really really good!

Here is the final picture.

I do have the best boyfriend ever.

Putting up with my cranky bum for coloring my hair and always being the best ever.

And a shout out to him for his new job.

He is a car salesman and Painters Mitsubushi in STG!

Yay sweetie I'm so proud!

I feel like I have been working so much lately. Which the money will be nice. I am pretty excited about that.

And my past 3 Saturdays have consisted of reffing basketball.

Which is fine. I don't mind it.

Because that money is nice too.

So I'm not even gonna lie...

I slept in today... untill 2.

I deserved it and I needed it.

......

I got a new roomie. She is 19 and she is super super cute! We get a long really well because she is a clean freak like me. So it's nice to have two of us in the apartment. 

Well we have cleaning checks on Tuesday so we cleaned the apartment today.

I was hyper earlier so I made us take a pic on my computer.

Here it is.

Again sorry its crappy but its from my comp.

Anyway that's what I've been up to...

Work.

School.

Reffing.

Having an amazing boyfriend.

Hanging with my boy.

Playing Basketball with my boy.

Cleaning.

Chilling with my roomies.

Christmas in Kingman Year 2

Well we spent another Christmas in Kingman.

It was a lot shorter than my vacation last year. 

But I guess that's what is it like to be a grown-up and to have a job and what not. I know so horrible huh?

All I honestly wanted for Christmas was to spend time with my family.

It wasn't all of them.

I did miss The Rex and Christensen extended family members but thank goodness for technology.

But it was amazing to see my FASHA, MASHA, LiTTLE BiG SiSSY ADDiE. AND OF COURSE B&&;D.

I have always always wanted to do ugly Christmas sweaters as a fun sister tradition.

And Britt and I found something even better....

Ugly Christmas Turtlenecks.

And oh boy are then AWESOME.

So we woke up early and left around 8:30 on Christmas Eve.

Got to K-Town around 12:30 and let the wonderful Christensen family bonding and traditions begin.

Dre and my daddy went golfing.

And the girls got dinner ready and got ready in our turtle necks.

And took lots of pictures.

Then we had an amazing Christmas Eve dinner.

Thanks Mom. It was BOMB

She even made white stuff.

And then we sang lots of songs around the paino for hours.

And picked out a song to sing in church.

Then we watched family home videos. (My fav) and went to bed.

Then we woke up at 9 or so. Crawled into my parents bed and waited for everyone else to wake up.

Poor Dre was sick so we let him sleep in for a bit longer.

My dad started making our breakfast.

(Sausage egg Mcmuffins) and right when they were ready Dre was awake.

So we enjoyed our wonderful Christmas morning breakfast and went and opened presents.
Then everyone wanted to go golfing.
Addie and I lasted 3 holes then walked back to the car and went home.
Then we played basketball later.
Addie and Britt beat me and dre... again...
But Dre was sick. So that's what I blame the loss on haha.
Then on Sunday we sang in church with my dad and my sissy's.
Even tho the break was short I enjoyed spending the little time we had with our family.
I loved it.
Now enjoy the pictures!
