Big Brothers Surprise Party! & Dads Birthday!

Phillip turned 25 on the other week and Ali decieded to throw a surprise party! This might seem easy but on my end it wasnt even close!!!! Here is my story.....So a few days before the party I called my mom and was talking to her when she said that she was invited to my brothers birthday....Okay so if you didnt know much about my family you wouldnt know that that was a huge problem!!!! My brother does not like my mother very much in fact he hadnt talked to her for 3 years till his wedding a year ago and after that nothing! So I was really nervous about her coming! Well the day of the party came and it was so hard to keep it a secret cause Phillip wanted us to come over and hangout. We made it though! So Phillips party was about 2 hours away from my place in the middle of nowhere! It was an adventure getting there to say the least! The party ended up being so much fun and I saw some of my family that I wasnt expected to see and I was so happy to see! :D My dads birthday was a few days after and I decieded to get everyone I could together and take him out to eat...A lot of people couldnt come cause I did it last minute...If you know my dad you would know that he is such a good man and so sweet to everyone and takes care of everyone and does everything he can to help people! I was very happy that I could atleast do this for him with the help of Malcolm of course! They were very good days with my family! :D

The cooking qeen has been de-throwned

Woke up early today as you can see, I really had the urge to cook Malcolm a big breakfast. Seeing as we don't really have a kitchen (cause this isn't our place) and we haven't gone shopping so we have no food I cant. I'm really bummed out! I wish we had are own kitchen and some food. Darn this cant wait till we get our own place. But I do love living here and I love our roommates and I'm so thankful to them for letting me stay here! I know they wouldn't mind me cooking if only I had some food. I think I'm going to start getting more food to cook and then I can start cooking again especially if Malcolm starts coming home every night! Cooking and having Malcolm home ever night again will be so very nice!

My heart is in Vegas

Missing my Malcolm, everytime he leaves it just gets harder and harder!

Good news: They should be done around three months from now

Bad news: they might have to work ten hours a day five days a week
which would mean that Malcolm will not be able to come home everynight

Good news: Malcolm wont be driving at four in the morning throught the caynon

Bad news: He wont be home everynight and my bed will remain empty and my sleep will remain shot.

I could go on and on....wish this job would be over with already and we can get on with our life...and I can have him home everynight!

finding the happiness and love in a bad situation

Living in Saint George for a month brought a lot to my knowledge....I have found that my step dad is really not a very nice person..I have had many experiences before where I have felt unsure about him but now I see after a very violent and scary incident with him that he is not a person I would like to be around...I am sad for my mother that she is living her life with this man. She is closing her eyes to the hate and violence this man brings into her life and the life of her children. Now looking at the positive points through all of this horrible experience I have found a great deal of blessings. I have a wonderful, amazing man by my side protecting me and taking care of me. Malcolm never hurts me and he lets me be who I am..I never have to lie to him or others about are relationship. Having him by my side makes this whole thing stupid and little. I need nothing at all but him and my heavenly fathers love to get me through the day. I am lucky that that's not all the love I have! My family has been right there with me helping me get through this and I'm thankful that my dad is Micheal Peterson and not this creep who treats me so crappy. My brothers and sister in law for taking care of me and helping me through all of this and checking in on me...my cousin Danielle for letting me vent and talk it out....all of my friends who are there for me and the two that are taking me in till I can decide where my next chapter of life starts. I have been reading and praying more than ever lately and I'm so happy that I have been because without the love and guidance from heavenly father I don't think I would be able to see all of this happiness and amazing people who I love and love me through this hard situation.

The family comes to Utah!

Last week my grandpa, Cousin and Aunt come up from Louisiana and Texas for a week! I love seeing my family so stinking much and my grandpa is the cutest grandpa ever! We went snow shoeing which kicked my booty! Tubing, Cross country skiing, Malcolm and my cousin went snow boarding, we hung out in Park City, Went to the aquarium, had a BBQ, went to Famous Dave's to celebrate birthdays, played some hilarious dance game on the wii and just had a good time hanging out with the family! I had such a blast and wished they could have stayed a lot longer! Also the week before I got to go shopping with my mom lol what an experiance we almost go into trouble twice with the cops!!! Also the globe trotters where so amazing I laughed so hard and big budduh was there goodness he is one of my favs!!!

Saint George her I come!

So Malcolm got a huge job offer in Vegas a few weeks ago! It was really great news but really sad news at the same time! He would be making huge bucks and be able to take his insurance test and pay off a few things and save a ton of money! But he would have to move to Vegas for 2 years! We were thinking of him just coming back to see me every other weekend but he didnt like that idea one bit! So a few days ago we came up with a great plan. We are going to move to saint george! A few buddies that Malcolm works with are going to move to Saint George and drive back and forth everyday and Malcolm got in with them on there car pull. Malcolm has some friends who have a house down there with an extra bedroom they said Malcolm could rent out for really cheap so Malcolm is going to stay there! Now my mom owns a house right down the street from Malcolms friends house so im going to move there! My mom has a guest house that I will be living in so it will be like me having my own house! I will also be going to Dixie and going to work for the biggiest loser! Im really excited to start this huge chapter and have this huge opportunity in my life but im really scared! I have no friends or anything down there so it will be a little weird! Im really going to miss all my friends and family up here in draper and im going to be so sad without them but im glad I will have Malcolm and my mom and little brother down there or I think I would die!

Busy like a bee!

I am so super excited for this year I also and super busy this year especially so far and its only been what two weeks!!! First lets start of with all the trips I am taking!!! I had planned to go to Florida this month but I have decided not to go ...bummer yes but I feel like I need to stay here and work somethings out before I start my vacations! I hope to go another time this year. In about a month my grandpa and a few of my other family members and friends are coming up from good old Louisiana to spend a little down time in Utah! I am so excited for this...we plan to do some fun snow sports, celebrate my grandpas birthday and of course hangout and enjoy are families company! Now this summer I don't think I will be in Utah very much and if I am I wont be in Utah county! In July My family and I are going to pack are things and head out to Louisiana to spend time on my grandpas farm and take a trip to Texas and do some water sports! This is one of my favorite trips that my family takes! My grandpas farm is such a fun place and being with my family makes it so much better! Also we go Canoeing and the worlds largest water park round two hahaha! Another trip California! O yes Cali my very most favorite place to go! This year I am determined to go to sea world and swim with dolphins it has been a dream of mine ever since I was young and we went to Florida as a family and we were so close to going but my little brother was to scared to go! Also if I have enough time I would love to go to Moab Malcolm likes to jeep and is very big on the biking! He loves Moab and I have only been there once I would really like to experience it with him. Also there is a family trip where we are going to the grand canyon I am not sure when they plan on going but I am really excited to see it! Also in December for new years eve I am still deciding if I want to go to Louisiana or not but I have awhile to see how things go....Also for 2010 I have other things that I am excited about! I am starting school this spring and I might have a little job till I can find a more solid job. I am turning 21 this year which I cant believe... its so crazy! So whats going on at least in the next two months is going to be absolutely crazy! I have my cousins birthday, Malcolm's birthday, one of my best friends birthday, My little brothers birthday, and my grandpas birthday...My family is coming for a week, Valentines day and of course the super bowl which is very big with Malcolm like huge hahaha! Also baby showers baby showers and baby showers! Two or three weddings, a few partys, and of course going out for dinners and movies! I am loving life right now even through the crazyness and sometimes the drama but through it all am so happy and so grateful...I have been going to church with my dad and reading my scriptures everyday and trying everything I can do to live the way I am suppose to...besides living with Malcolm which is something sadly I have no control over but everyone understands and I think heavenly father does too. On that note my dad is closer to buying a house but he is very picky so I hope I can move in with him soon! Also Malcolm is almost done studying and ready to take his insurance test! He is doing so well with work and his life and I am so proud of him! I just feel so blessed right now with the life that I have and the so many family and friends that I love!

Meat Party!

Every year the weekend before christmas Malcolms dad throughs a big meat party. Its the best party of the year (besides my b day of course). At the party there is tons of the most amazing food you will eat....such as the most famouse steaks not just any steak...o no its amazing and special made. The amazing stuffed mushrooms..the meat balls from heaven...turkey, ham, shrimp, and of course the basic chips, dip, veggies, nuts, pickles, crackers, to much food to handle. What would a meat party be with out the great people you get to cook and eat with? The night consisded of football, bad jokes, drunk people screaming and talking till 7 in the morning, people stealing beds, pocker gone wrong, tickle fights that ended in tears of laughter, meeting of some interesting people, and of course those extra five pounds you pack on! Not 0nly was saturday fun but friday I hungout and had an amazing time with Malcolm we sat and watched tv mad some kick butt brownies danced till one in the morning, sunday we watched football with Malcolms family and the steelers won, and today I spent the day shopping with Malcolm then he took me to chilis then went shopping with my dad and went to taco bell so so great! So happy I love christmas and cant believe it is almost here! I hope everyone had an amazing weekend too! :)

Time to get serious!

"Nothing worth having comes easy"!















My brother said that the other day and it got me thinking!

All of my life I have adored animals and knew that I

wanted to one day do

something with my life that would help them out and

show them the love they have always showed me!

I wanted to be a veterinarian but I was stupid

in high school and flushed my dreams down the

toilet. But I would like to think that I have learned

my lesson! I now want to be a veterinarian technician!

The only problem is money 30,000! Also I haven't

really proved myself to my parents that I have ever

been serious about my school work. I now am ready to prove

them wrong! I am going to sign up for an online class at slcc

and then once I pass that take on more classes

till I have a whole year done and that way I have showed my

parents how bad I really want this! Then transfer to Utah career

college to make my dreams come true!
