Beverly Hills!

Yes!!  That is Queen Latifah! 
My art in the booth!  

View from our room! 

Malen and I just got back from exhibiting the the Beverly Hills art show in Beverly Hills, CA.

It was so beautiful there, we really didn't get to see much, because we spent our time setting

up for the show ( my booth took all afternoon!)  and sitting at the show.

Highlights of our show!

*The best sushi I have ever had!  

A client of Malen's took us out to a great dinner, I am a little sushi shy and stick to California rolls, but this time I was brave and loved what I got!! YUMMY

*We laughed so much, our friend who is a professional comedian came with us, and kept us

laughing the entire trip!! 

*I made great contacts, like an interior designer, a set designer and someone who wants to market my art!!!

*Our Hotel was beautiful, and had an amazing view overlooking L.A and Beverly Hills with a Balcony to take it all in! 

*and the best for last, Malen met Queen Latifah and she got an owl!!   She was amazingly down to earth, and wants another LARGE  piece for her home in New Jersey!!   He was able to talk to her and her mom for 20 minutes

Arizona!!!

So, we are basically moving to Arizona, and wow this Utah spring has sure made it so easy

for me to decide!  It is May 3, cold and raining, it has been, what a 7 month winter.

Ever since we went to Arizona 4 years ago for our first winter there, I have wanted to move there, I love it!  I love the desert, many people disagree with me, but I think it is so beautiful, I love the cactus and the red dirt!  Plus, Hello shopping, amazing restaurants and some culture! 

 I started bugging Malen to move to Scottsdale and he said NO way!   So whatever.  Then after one long cold winter, ( we didn't go to Scottsdale this year) he realized it sucked here.  We have a really close friend who lives in Paradise Valley and talked Malen into moving there, and told him how many opportunities he will have with his art.

Funny how the mind works because as soon as Malen decided he wanted to move, I said, hmmm, no I want to stay here!!   So we have been discussing it for 2 months.  I was on the fence but this weather has helped me change my mind,  I can't stand it any more!  Really, I think since last what October/November it has been sunny 10 days?  

I am just posting this for myself, because I feel like it makes it more real if I write it down. Since my mom reads my family blog, and I have decided not to tell her for a while.  I don't want to deal with her drama about the entire thing!!!  This blog is pretty dead, as I just have been posting on my family blog, and am now addicted to facebook! 

We are keeping our house here too, and planning on coming home for some of the hot summer!

Sadly I won't miss many people here, which is mean to say!  I just wish Ryan and Tobi would move with us and then I would be happy!   Our plan is to make lots of money and find connections for Ryan to come down and do railing there!!!

 ( I am not talking about my old Logan pals!  I will miss you, I just never see you any more, so when I think who I will miss, I miss you guys already!  Maureen and Lael!)  

We are waiting until fall, since we have art shows all summer, plus I figure will wait out some of the HOT!  I called the Arizona school Sky went to last year and the first day is August 10th, what?  that is the middle of summer!   I think we are not going until Labor day, since Malen has 3 art shows in August, and I don't want to move and be sitting there alone!!  anyways....

This is a serious ramble! and not really for anyone but myself!  So if you read this, sorry it is just random thoughts 

Finders Fee

I usually don't use my blog for such personal reasons! I But I am selling my car, it is a fun, sporty, fast car!

If you find someone to buy my car, I will pay you $200 cash!!

A Mercedes C240 - 4 matic all wheel drive. I don't want to bore you with all the details, so I will include my KSL link to my car for more mechanical information! I am in love with a LR3, but it is for sale from a private owner, which means I have to sell my car before I can get the new one!

Why I love church

Today at church we had two great prayers, both made me laugh out loud!

The first prayer was by a Sunbeam! The Primary President stands up and helps him,
she whispers in his ear,
Please bless those who are sick
Boy: What?
Pres: Please bless those who are sick
Boy: WHAT?
Pres: Please bless those who are sick!
Boy? WWWWHAAAT!!
Pres: I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
Boy: NO, the other thing you said!
Pres: Just say I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, AMEN!
Boy: No, what was the first thing you said!
Pres: Please bless those who are sick!
Boy: WHAT?
Pres: Just say AMEN!!
Boy: What was the other thing you said!
Pres: SAY AMEN!
Boy: Amen!!!

Then Sacrament rolls around, and a 80 year old man says the prayer, yes we went from
one extreme to the next.
"I am so grateful that so many people in the ward are attractive, it makes it so much easier to come to church"

Forgot how to blog!

So I haven't blogged for SO LONG! that I have forgotten how to blog about nothing!
Every day I think, I should go blog, but I can't think of anything to say! Sorry to my fans!

I do have to tell you, if you have a little brat, and think they will grow out of it, they don't, it gets worse!! don't wait until your child is 8 to unspoil him! My plans are taking a little longer to work than I thought they would!

My poor little boy has been walking out the door, to get into the car to go to a movie, when he
had to go back home, for calling me an idiot!! Has had a slurpee returned in front of him, for crying that I didn't get him a big enough size. Had his teacher asked if he can stay in for recess if he is late for school. ( he pokes around all morning, and I am tired of nagging him) He doesn't get in trouble at school for being late! Well he does now!
And still, he is fighting me every step of the way, I thought I would have won by now, but this kid is strong willed I tell you!

Wish me luck!

One Lucky Girl!

I called to report for my jury duty in the morning, and

IT HAS BEEN CANCELLED!!

This is the third time in my lifetime, that I have been summoned, and been released over the phone! I am doing the happy dance tonight.

Thanks

I just wanted to thank all of you LOSERS, who told me to fill out my jury questionnaire
honestly, because now I have been SUMMONED FOR JURY DUTY! and yes, I am blaming
you all, because I have no one else to be mad at!!
I will give more details after Wednesday.
