And the decision is.........

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC!!!!

I know...not what we had even thought about before! The more I thought about it...the more I realized my life is so crazy right now that I just want to lay in the sun and do NOTHING and be pampered! I already have many adventures all day, every day at home! HAHA! Why go someplace to have more???? We are staying at a 4-5 star resort, all inclusive! I also love the caribbean beaches and white sand! Its my favorite! I really can't wait to relax in the sun all day with a good book...March 12th can not get here fast enough.

My True Color....

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Blue

You're blue — the most soothing shade of the spectrum. The color of a clear summer sky or a deep, reflective ocean, blue has traditionally symbolized trust, solitude, and loyalty. Most likely a thoughtful person who values spending some time on your own, you'd rather connect deeply with a few people than have a bunch of slight acquaintances. Luckily, making close friends isn't that hard, since people are naturally attracted to you — they're soothed by your calming presence. Cool and collected, you rarely overreact. Instead, you think things through before coming to a decision. That level-headed, thoughtful approach to life is patently blue — and patently you!

Which one????

So Scott and I are trying to figure out where to go for our annivrsary in March and we have narrowed it down to Belize or Costa Rica! But...I'm having a hard time deciding which one! We have done the Mexico thing tons and i've been to hawaii and so we thought somewhere totally different but has to have beaches and warm sun! Here's what I know....

Costa Rica

pros

safe, jungle for exploring and zip lines, live valcanoes, beaches!,so many animals everywhere

cons

you have to drive everywhere(2 to 4 hrs from airport),BAD roads(you have to have an off road vehicle), to many pot holes to count!, many hotels are more primitive...not like Cancun!,12 hrs between transfers to get there, pacific side does not have white sand which I LOVE!

Belize

pro's

only a 1/2 day trip, not so primitive, nice hotels with great adventures to go on, white beaches

con's

haven't done as much research so I'm not sure yet

Here's the thing...we want all the luxury of a nice hotel but the adventure also. I love sitting on the beach but I need to be able to expore and go on crazy excursions too! Has anyone been to either of these places or know someone who has? I have read so much about both and you hear the good and bad so i'm so confused...Help???????

I Love My Family!

New Calling!

So I got a new calling today...CAMP DIRECTOR! I love girls camp but have never had to actually do all the hard work. I'm a little nervous, i have never felt like much of a leader, but I'm excited to have something new to focus on! My new primary class is cute this year and I will be keeping them up until probably spring and then take a break while I prepare for girls camp. Anyone done this? Ideas would be great or advice. Oh and the new website for Rockstar-hair.com is up. Let me know what you think. He is still changing things here and there but for the most part its done! love you all!

New web site...

Scott and I have never loved our website so rather then emptying more money into our web designers pocket Scott is taking some tech classes and learning how to do it himself! Its driving me crazy cause he is obsessed with it but he loves being creative and it is coming together really nice. He loves going to school and taking all these online courses! I will let you know when he uploads it..so look at the before so you can give us an HONEST opinion of the new one. ok...no she isn't naked but to make a long story short...we paid for a photo shoot to be done a year ago and the photographer thought it would be best to do the pics in bra and underwear so that the "hair" was the focus! Our amazing friend Allison was the artistic director for the shoot and tried to talk him out of it but...The sad part is we had beautiful hair( thanks to Allison) and beautiful models but it left us with very few pics that we felt we could use unless we started a men's magazine! lol! Thanks again to Allison, she has let us use some of her pics from her new school in Idaho Falls(opening soon... Austin Kade Acadamy) on our new website. I will let you know later this week when its up!

Beautiful Girl!!!

I went to lunch with my beautiful friend Shar(inside and out)yesterday. She's Single! Sorry Shar but why not advertize. Everyone must come through me first! Tall, dark, handsome...please!We had the most amazing chocolate dessert! She is the best of the best! I love you Shar!

Last day with my Primary class...:(

We came back from Idaho a few days early so that I could teach my primary class one last time. I am going to miss them so much! I am so grateful for the hugs, kisses, and " I love you Sister Purcell". The girls loved my long nails and the boys said they were too long and needed to be cut! I always wore plenty of jewerly to church so that the girls(and boys) could adorn themselves during sharing time and keep quiet!

christmas in Idaho

My girls and their cousins and my sisters and mom. We have a tradition every year in my family of getting matching pJ's. They of course are always the sexiest possible. Thats what our husbands would say...:) I'm sure they came from vicky's!

Christmas!

My christmas present and Scott's christmas present! Guess which one is his! haha! I'm excited for it to be warm so that I can use my bike! I'm keeping my old one just for anyone who wants to join me! We had a great christmas with all the kids being at our house this year. We watched the nativity story on christmas eve(we loved it) and it really brought the true spirit of christmas into our home. As always, I'm the worst at sending out christmas cards but all of you are in my thoughts and prayers!
