"How grateful I am for life, for a feeling of purpose, for opportunities to serve, and for freedom to move about as I please. I never get over the wonder of it. Surely we are a blessed people, for which we ought to express gratitude and then show the depth of that gratitude by the goodness and measure of our lives."
-Gordon B. Hinckley

What are you thankful for? Happy Thanksgiving!

soaps

today while i was at the gym, there was a soap opera on and naturally, i watched it. anyways, there was a scene and there was an old lady and during the scene she said, "i'm rebounding like an oven door!"
it made me laugh. because i feel the same way. hahaha. i am a sucker for a good soap opera.

[kristen]

i get by with a little help from my friends.

can i just say how extremely blessed i am with great friends? my friends have really stepped in and helped me these past few weeks- especially lately, and i am so grateful.

A true friend is the one who walks in when others walk out.
- Walter Winchell

i especially am grateful for jacquie and amy. holy moly what would i do without them? i miss them both a lot. they help me when i can't help myself.

A true friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself.
- Anonymous

jacquie also can still scare the crap out of me....

haha. "this is the best day ever!" i love my jacquie.

man, i just can't wait to go back to school so i can be reunited with my best friends!

[kristen]

latex?

well. well. well. this past week. WAS A WEEK FROM HELL. im sorry, but really...it was.
So on Monday, i went to work, and it was all good.
Monday, i got home from work HIVES EVERYWHERE.
yeah. not tmi. you need to know this. sooo monday night-thursday i had HUGEHUGEHUGE hives. EVERYWHERE ON MY BODY. from my ears, chin, elbows, arms, legs, knees, stomach, feet, hands, bottom of feet, holy.
so yeah. i basically spent 5+ days at home in benadryl coma:
take two benadryl -- sleep four hours
take two benadryl -- sleep four hours
reapply callamine lotion
so on, so forth.
So ive basically deduced the allergy to a latex allergy. because at my job i wear latex gloves the entire time, from 7:45am-5:45am.
so. yeah. now i go back to work tomorrow, to see if i can withstand it.
ay caray! (kristen told me that one)
-jacquie.

the power of prayer

I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ. there is a hymn that has been on my mind a lot these past couple days. here is the song and lyrics:

Oh, may my soul commune with thee
And find thy holy peace;
From worldly care and pain of fear,
Please bring me sweet release.

Oh, bless me when I worship thee
To keep my heart in tune,
That I may hear thy still, small voice,
And, Lord, with thee commune.

Enfold me in thy quiet hour
And gently guide my mind
To seek thy will, to know thy ways,
And thy sweet Spirit find.

Lord, grant me thy abiding love
And make my turmoil cease.
Oh, may my soul commune with thee
And find thy holy peace.

I cry everytime i hear this song because it is such a testimony to me that my Savior knows me, knows my troubles, and can guide me to make the right decisions.

i am so grateful and i believe in the power of prayer. i have been especially grateful for it during these past couple of days. i have been able to fall on my knees with a broken heart and offer up my prayers to my Heavenly Father. I am a strong believer that,

"when life gets too hard to stand, kneel." -Gordon B Hinkley.

[kristen]

the sad truth

don't you hate when you fall and scrape your heart? yeah, me too.

sunday dinner.

On Sunday's after church, we have our family dinner at noon. Then for 'real' dinner we just eat like cereal or something. Anyways, so this sunday, we had an epic meal.
yeah. strangest meal ever:

So on the left we have some "chicken sausages" from costco, (I did not partake of those). The middle we have some pasta roni, normal right? wrong. see below picture. and on the right we have some butternut squash, which totally looks gross but it was actually delightful :)

Andrea made the pasta roni. its definitely the shape of the pan. we cut it up in triangles and ate it like pie.
welcome to my family life.
-jswaggg.

oh em gee cat

wow, hello! it's been a while, no?
to be honest i just haven't had too much to blog about...and yep, i'm still drawing a blank.
oh, i'm going to utah next week!

hahaha. oh em gee.



 that's all i got right now. peace out rainbow trout

[kristen]

Birthday dinner!!!

So im 19! Woo! Anyways we had family dinner, allllll for me :) and i didnt have to help with anything! So i was walking by the kitchen to get a drink of water and i looked at the table:

Looks like a typical table setting, right????
WRONG.
Look again my friends:

why yes, that IS the halloween frankenstein hand poking out of the tablecloth.
welcome to my family life.
-jwag.

racoons get hungry too

once upon a time, a fetching racoon was sitting outside my house eating my cats food.
yeah. thats right.
I opened the front door (porch light on) to check if my little brother had swept the front porch (it was his chore). The parents would get home late that night from their weekend trip to Utah. Anyways, so i opened the front door and A HUGE BANG came from the corner. well, bang is the wrong word. it sounded like a THUD. yes, a huge THUD. I look over and "holy sweet mother of fetching pearl" a racoon is just chillen eating food!! So i am screaming and slam the door and am like, scream/crying/laughing. And i yell for andrea to come look, and she does the same thing! then i yell at riley to come look! and then, we got the camera.
Here is the culprit:

We finally scared him away, with lots of screaming, hissing, yelling, and running directly at him. That little...

-jwaggie.

serve.

I have quite a few slices of humble pie recently. Conference was great and after the Sunday afternoon session of conference my family watched the 5000 days project. It was about two brothers growing up...i dont know how else to explain it but it was amazing. I laughed, cried, cried more, and was uplifted.
Here is the link: http://youtu.be/DiT1zZ6pEW4
These young men are great examples to me. It reminded me of all the great friends I have that are serving missions right now. Heres a picture of a few of my bakersfield boys:

David, Daniel, Blake, and Cole

They are all serving the Lord. I am so grateful for their sacrifices to give up two years of their lives to serve the Lord and bring people closer to Christ. I am honored to have such great friends who are amazing and great examples to me. I know that they are starting the best two years of their lives, and i am so grateful that they are all worthy, righteous, and willing to serve in our Heavenly Father's name. I know this gospel is true and I pray that these boys will be able to spread the joy that the gospel brings into each of our lives. I know that the Book of Mormon is a true book and i am so grateful to have it in my life. If you want to learn more about it, ask me! Itll be great :) haha. Anyways, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and I know my Redeemer lives and loves me. Gratitude is the best attitude. Always.
-Jacquie.
p.s. if you ever see any Elder's near you, always say hello :)

special task for someone who is special...i mean, new.

so today at work i was given a "special task".
it involved syringes, blue tips, and chlorhexidine gluconate.
chya. chlorhexidine gluconate. I wrote it down so i could remember it.

c.g.

haha. anyways so i had to fill two big ziploc bags FULL of syringes with this stuff.
man, it was way more fun than it sounds (no sarcasm). I would try and see how close i could get to making it perfect without looking. I'm sorry, that probably didn't make sense. I put the tip of the syringe in the chlorhexidine gluconate and pulled the syringe up without looking to see if i could make it to the mark by just feeling.

TONS of these!

Anyways, that was fun. I got perfect at it by the second ziploc bag. :)
Chlorhexidine Gluconate is this blue mouth wash/sterilizer solution that smells like mint. But ive been told that it tastes like dirt....rocks...no i mean something that doesn't taste good to normal people! (inside joke). It's like when you go to the dentist and they're like "what kind of toothpaste do you want? Cherry, Orange, Cookie-Dough?" and youre like "yum! cookie dough!" and it ends up tasting like dirty drain water. ugh. thats the worst.

should be good, right?

good thing im not drinking any chlorhexidine gluconate.
:D
-jwaggie.

bringing sexy back. yeah!

we brought sexy back. yeah. them other boys don't know how to act. yeah. take em to the bridge.
anyways, i havent posted too much lately, but now i have stuff to post about!
first of all- i bought my plane tickets to utah! well, my mom did. i love my mom. that's besides the point. they are bought! i'm going up! i can't wait! i get to see Chris (yay! :) ), my aunts, my grandma, and my little crazy cousins! and i get to go to beautiful salt lake! and i'll be flying for the first time by myself! crazy. I'M SO EXCITED!
second of all- i got a second job at macy's. the shifts are early morning, i'm going to be so tired all the time now...but thats ok i'll be making good money. i love my job at the boy's and girl's club! it is stressful but it is very rewarding. i am in charge of the K-1st graders and i love it! they are so cute. i love them. today i took them outside to read them some books- they were so excited. but there aren't many age appropriate books there (it's kind of ghetto) but that's ok, they like to look at the pictures. i love my job- it comes so naturally to me to work with kids.
third of all- i went to the padres game tonight with my friends. it was so fun! here are some peectures...

cody is special...

7th inning stretch!

swords

the epitome

the group!

love love

we then finished the night with a dance party in the car. it was the best! we got down the best we could with being squished in the back seat of a mercedes. we sure brought sexy back. that's all. life's great!

[kristen] 

should i start flossing now?

That's right folks! I got a job! Woo! And its full time! I'm a fetching adult! 8am-5pm.
I work at Bakersfield Smile Design for Dr. Krauss, i get to wear scrubs!
Its great, scrubs and tennis shoes.
Anyways I do whatever they need done: sterilizing tools, helping out, filing stuff, etc. etc.
Its a cosmetic and family dentistry.
I saw so much blood today. Hence the cosmetic part. Esh. Good thing I dont get queasy like mi padre.
But yeah! I'll be making money! Thank goodness for that. And another great job to put on the resume.
:)
-jswag.
p.s. Now that i work for a dentist, should i start flossing regularly?
p.s.s. some of the ladies at work (dental assistants) as in most of the ladies, after lunch all brush their teeth. its hilarious. like hardcore brush their teeth, and then rinse with listerine.
i guess i needa step up my dental hygiene....

love bugs♥

So, while living in a tropical forrest aka florida, you become acquainted with lots, LOTS of bugs.
The most popular are called: love bugs.

cute love bugs.

However, these real love bugs are NOT cute. not even a little. they are gross, gross bugs.
Why are they called love bugs? oh, cus they do it everywhere.
no joke. on the bus, on you, on your shoe, in your face, in your apartment, on the bench, in the park...it goes on and on AND ON.

They are everywhere. And never alone. Always attached to one another. sick.
FYI: never wear a black shirt...theyll be all over that.
I am grateful that California does not have any of these bugs. because they are gross. and annoying.
geeesh.

TRUEST PICTURE EVER.

P.S. i tried to take pictures of the love bugs on my phone...but they were just too fast to get a picture...(awk)...thank goodness google images never let me down :)
P.S.S. i could go into more detail about these bugs...but i wont...for your sake ;)
-jacquie!

chilling out, maxing and relaxing all cool

i was watching fresh prince the other day and i decided that the theme song for that show is the best theme song ever. and the best rap- that i know every word to, thank you very much.

sooooo i'm going to utah!! woohooo i'm so excited! :)

the lion king is in theaters right now and i want to go see it so bad!

i am such a bad blogger. my posts are so boring. my life just isn't too exciting lately.

i wake up. go to work. go to the gym. go to bed. and do it all over. hopefully i'll be getting a second job next week. imma be gettin' paper.

my shirt for work is bright yellow. haha sooo ugly! but i love my job- working with kids comes naturally to me. it is so fun!

gotta go!

[kristen]

disney is a company.

well. i write this with a little bit of saddness/anger/regret/happiness:
I am leaving the Disney College Program. Yes, yes i just got here a month ago, i know i know. I am not a quitter, let me tell you what, i am not! haha. But the Disney Company wasn't "too honest" with their description of the program, for example:
-i was promised at least 40 hours a week (i am paying for tuition, books, food, housing, etc.) in other words i chose this program because i would be earning MULA!
--this didn't happen. Disney only employs CP's (college program interns) 30 hours a week. which doesn't give me the money i need.
-rent was to be $100 a month (living on Disney property)
--rent is $85 a weeeeek. not okay.
-i was promised religious accomodation so i wouldn't have to work on Sundays and that i could go to church those days
--this didn't happen. Disney schedules all cast members by their seniority, so those who work longer with the company get to choose what days they get off, and Sunday is the golden day to have off. So CP's never get Sundays off. (Which is not good, because I need to go to church!!)

Anyways--so yes, ill be flying back to CA next week. And be getting a job soon there (don't worry i already have like 6 potentials lined up). I will miss my roomies, and ALL the great great friends i made at Flame Tree BBQ! I seriously work with thee most amazing people and I will miss them all. But i need to save (lots of) money and Disney is just not the place to do that (considering i only get minimum wage in Florida....eesh.) It was a good experience, a good lesson, but i am SO happy to be headed home and be more of my happy self again :)
loveeeee
-jwag.

p.s. The Disney College Program is GREAT if you want to work for Disney the rest of your life, its a great way to make connections and climb the ladder of Disney success...i however, don't WANT to work for Disney for the rest of my life! haha.
p.s.s. KRISTEN AND AMY. ROAD TRIPPPPPPPPP!!!

things just work out!

i don't think i have been this happy in a while. it's amazing how things just work out when you are willing to take a leap of faith!
i got a new job at the boys and girls club of greater san diego. it is probably the best job ever! i love working with kids! they are just too fun.
yesterday there was a huge blackout in southern california/arizona/mexico! let me tell you, all hell breaks loose when the power goes out and you are working with little kids. haha.
here is what happened...
also, i can't wait to go back to school. fall semester starts next week and i'm kind of super jelous of all my friends who are back in the burg- i sure do miss it.
anyways, that's it.

peace out and keep it real.

Look to the Light

Hi,
yesterday i had the opportunity to go to a baptism for a guy who is about a year younger than me. it was so incredible- i haven't felt the spirit that much in a while. after he was immersed in the water and baptized, his whole countenance changed- he was truly born again. i have never seen so much joy in someone. it made me feel joy and SO much gratefulness for the gospel that i have in my life.
going to his baptism and seeing him experience so much joy and to see how much he appreciates the Gift that had been given to him made me really appreciate my testimony. lately i have felt like i have been inadequate in my life and i haven't felt like my testimony of Jesus Christ was growing- i was stagnate. i was selfish with my testimony and i took it for granted.
sometimes it is hard for me to keep my sights on what matters most in my life because i get so stressed with life. it is hard for me to find the light in a world full of so much darkness. i have felt lately that i have been stuck in a rut and i was having an extremely hard time getting out of it. but, today i realized the only way to get through that is to hold fast to what i believe and to look to the light-

today in sacrament meeting i mustered up the courage to share my testimony with the congregation- i haven't been that nervous in a while. i had to fight back tears as i was bearing it because i realized how truly blessed i am and how much i have taken that blessing for granted. i love my testimony!
i know Jesus Christ is my Savior. I know He died for my sins. I know that it is through His grace and His grace alone that we are saved- we canot do it by ourselves. I love His gospel. I know the Book of Mormon is true. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet ordained of God to restore His gospel. I know without a shadow of a doubt that Thomas S Monson is a prophet today. I know that temples are real and the power that comes from them is real. I know I will be with my family forever. I know that priesthood power is real, and I am SO grateful for it! I have a strong testimony of missionary work. I know that there are people waiting for their lives to begin and for two men in white shirts and name-tags to knock on their door and to bring them to the light of Christ.

"The Standard of Truth has been erected. No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing. Persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame. But the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, until the purposes of God shall be accomplished and the Great Jehovah will say, ‘The work is done.'" -Joseph Smith

I know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is real and true! Gosh, I am so incredibly blessed!!

[kristen]

ps, jacquie's post made me cry, and i love that she and i are both able to feel the spirit so strong even though we are hundreds of miles from eachother. The Church is true everywhere :)

He left the 99, to find the 1

i was lost but now i am found.

Painted by: Simon Dewey

Well folks, may i just say i absolutely love church?
I'm not really sure how to start this, so ill just get right to it:
I got to Florida knowing no one, missing my family, starting a stressful new job, and having new roommates...
I felt overwhelmed. I felt alone. And ya know what to be honest, i really just wanted to go home.
It was finally Sunday, I hadn't been to church in three weeks. Lets just say getting off work, showering, jumping on a bus to go somewhere i had never been and hope someone would be there (whom ive never met) and take me to the church building, was stressful.
Anywhoo, i made it to the building and felt a rush of peace. I met so many wonderfully nice girls on the bus, all from BYU-Idaho. The Elders were there welcoming me, the Bishop was there meeting everyone new, etc etc. I was so happy I almost started crying. No really, i was super teary-eyed. I finally felt like i was home. I felt loved, even though i was entering that building with no one i knew, i just felt the love and comfort from all of my "brothers and sisters". I was so happy to find out what was missing. The peace i feel when i go to church, the love i feel being surrounded by people who genuinely care about me.
I partook of the Sacrament and i cannot express the peace and relaxation i finally felt after those stressful weeks. I really felt loved and literally at home.
I have not been the best "mormon". I have not been the best daughter, friend, sibling, roommate, etc. But i know that when i live this gospel to the best of my ability, my Savior will make up the rest. I know that He loves me. I know that my Savior knows me, and understands what i need to do to progress. I know that the Book of Mormon is truly the word of God and that it was written for the year 2011 and beyond (buzz lightyear reference?...sorry, that was inappropriate). I love my family so much and i am so grateful for the sacrifices they have made for me and for the love that they always have shown me. I am so incredibly grateful that i can spend eternity with them. I love the Lord and i love being an example of Him. I know that prayers are answered. I have a testimony that my Father in Heaven listens to me, and will bless me if i am obedient. I have faith that He knows what i need to be tried with and that with my Savior's help i will be able to get through it. I am so grateful for the Atonement and for the great sacrifice my Savior made for me. I am thankful for repentance and for the opportunity to become clean again and again. I am not perfect, but through Christ i can become perfect like He is. I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the true church. I know that we are all children of our Heavenly Father and that He loves us more than we can imagine. I thank the Lord that i have been able to see a glimpse of His great plan of salvation today. I know that i am a daughter of God and that i can be a light to the world.
Jesus Christ is my Savior.
Thank you family, friends, roommates, teachers, and all others who have built up my testimony over the years. You have all been amazing examples to me.
-jacquie :)

"Innocence" by: David Bowman

P.S. Quote i heard today:
"The time will come when no man nor woman will be able to endure on borrowed light. Each will have to be guided by the light within himself. If you do not have it, how can you stand?"

a single soul

Aristotle once said,
Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies.
well, Kristen and I know what that's like....

i miss our craziness and alikeness. haha :)
-jswag.

we drew our own constellations

"The light was leaving
In the west it was blue
The children's laughter sang
And skipping just like the stones they threw
The voices echoed across the way
Its getting late
It was just another night
With the sun set
And the moon rise not so far behind
To give us just enough light
To lay down underneath the stars
Listen to papas translations
Of the stories across the sky
We drew our own constellations
The west winds often last too long
The wind may calm down
Nothing ever feels the same
Sheltered under the Kamani tree
Waiting for the passing rain
Clouds keep moving to uncover the scene
Stars above are chasing the day away
To find the stories that we sometimes need
Listen close enough
All else fades
Fades away"

-jack johnson

I'm craving this.



115mph winds.....

So, a hurricane is coming.
what in the holy world is this. why did i come to live in a place that has HURRICANES!?
ill choose not ready for this...

Intro to Disney!

Hello! And welcome to Disneyworld! I am currently in Florida as most of you know and I am having the time of my life! I have met so many people from all around the world! (no joke!) I've met people from all over the U.S. and i've met people from China, Cambodia, England, Mexico, Argentina, Costa Rica, Thailand, Norway, etc! It's crazy how diverse disney is! haha.
But anyways i havent been eaten by an alligator! phew!
So i work in Animal Kingdom at the Flame Tree BBQ, and i love it so far! My trainer is hilarious and everyone is so laid back.
Yesterday was my first day of like "real" training, me and this girl Tania from New York are brand new and being trained together and we have had such a good time! So since we are working with food we got to sample ALL OF IT. no joke, i havent been that full in a REALLY long time. haha, we had beans, coleslaw, ribs, bbq chicken, pork sandwich, onion rings, fries, fruit plate, key lime mousse, chocolate mousse, 2 different kinds of bbq sauce, and a cupcake! holy! it was delicious :)
ah, free food :D
anyways, so last night after work a bunch of us met and we went to Disney's Hollywood Studios and rode my favorite ride HOLLYWOOD TOWER OF TERROR! (we get in free to ALL the parks, just fyi)
Then we watched Fantasmic which was fantastic!
I didn't have to work today, so i got to stay up late and go have fun at the parks!
But yeah, disney is great. The people here are amazinggg, and i don't even really mind the humidity now!
(I'm sorry this is such a long wordy post that isn't funny...)
Anyways, come to disneyworld and visit me!
-jacquie
p.s. isn't this new blog background supes cute! thanks kristen :)

feliz

i hate to say it but...i want to go to utah. what the heck? i never thought i would ever say that. haha.
anyways, life is good!
i'm happy :)

[kristen]

oh, YEAH!

miracles haven't ceased...I GOT A JOB!!! :)

[kristen]

it's funnier in spanish.

hi hi
well jq is now in florida! or she's on her way. i wish i could visit her!
anyways, life's pretty good. a few things that have happened since i last posted:
-i still don't have much of a social life right now but i'm a-okay with that.
-we went to a YSA bonfire the other night. it was weird, because no matter how much they push that it should be a "mingle" thing, people still continue to hangout in the groups they are comfortable with. some guy came up to us and said that some girl had him go get the "stats" on a guy for her. umm...yeah. what? girls like that just don't get it. haha. also while at the bonfire a guy we were with told us a joke that wasn't funny at all, and all he said was "it's funnier in spanish." the perfect save to a stupid joke. but really, it is funnier in spanish because it's all about word play in spanish.

por ejemplo- english: what does the dog do when he is in the pool? he swims

spanish: que hacer el perro cuando esta en la piscina? nada.

[you would only get it if you speak spanish.]

-while i was getting my record read in at church on sunday, bishop said "brother kristen noel cagle." i'm no brother! how embarassing.
-i finally have a second interview at a job tomorrow. so i hopefully will have a job tomorrow! wootwoot.
-i have a new obsession with the band citizen cope. SO GOOD. have a listen, if you don't mind.

anyways, it's probably one of the weirdest transitions ever coming home from college. it's just a whole different vibe. but i think once i get a job and start working a lot it will get a whole lot better.

i've been watching scrubs a lot lately. if you don't watch that show, you probably should because it is a good show. aside from all the sexual jokes and stupid humor, it has some really good messages. i almost cried! sheesh.

i'm seeing dierks bentley in concert on saturday!!!! I CANT WAIT! he's playing after the padres game. it i going to be so great- i've never been to a country concert so i am pretty dang excited. baseball+country music= the all american experience.

bada bing bada boom.
