Weekend Update with Martha

So I'm really not sure what it is, but not having Internet always makes me want to blog. This weekend I went down to Salt Lake City for my cousin Monica's Wedding. At first me and Dylan were going to "represent the family" at the wedding. But then my mom decided to come down, and Tasha, and Jerry's whole family. Which may mean nothing to you. But that's like someone flying to Portland for the weekend, when they live in Africa. haha okay maybe not that extreme. But my Uncle Jerry has 9 children. They only brought 7, as Silvia and Callie are super young. But I have only met like 5 of the 9, so it was a big deal. Plus they were all babies last time I saw them. Jerry the oldest is a genius, and has a girl friend. So cute. And then there is Colin he is so studly, and probably secretly has a girl friend too. Then Tanner, who is also tall dark and handsome (maybe I'm bias, but I've got a really good looking family). Then Brandon, who is a total gem, we all exchanged phone numbers. And he texted me when they got off the plane, and I just love him. Then comes Ashton, she is 11, and we have the same shoe size, she is a blonde beauty. We got matching flip flops and she switched me shoes when my heels started killing my feet, so she is a life saver. Seth is next, he is super funny because he is the second to youngest boy. But he likes to pretend like he is the oldest. Seth is also crazy, we had a family get together the night before with Pizza and cookies and he jumped off the balcony (because he didn't want to be in our group photo- he was still in it). And after crazy Seth, is Clarke. He is named Clarke, because he was born while my aunt Christy was battling Cancer, so he is the miracle Clarke Kent baby. And I just fell in love with him. First we had a camera battle, he would run away and I would chase him. He won. I got no good ones of him. haha Then we bonded in the bathroom, because he was hiding in there and I found him and so we just talked while sitting on the floor. He then told me that 10 times 10 is 100. He is in kindergarten. And I may be bias again, but I feel like he is the smartest Kindergarten EVER. :) And I'm really sad I didn't get to meet the two baby girls, but someday I will. I made them all promise they would come back up for my wedding. (but that's likely to never happen).
Anyways so that was the most exciting. But added on top of that I got to see my cousins Anne and Evan. They are twins but nothing like each other. Anne is this super hot, confident, gorgeous woman. Evan is also good looking, haha, but you kind of have to pull information out of him. But it was fun having my big camera and getting him to smile. Evan also has a girl friend. We texted about it, while in the same room. hahaha. But hey communication is communication regardless if its through a phone. Then there is DYLAN (made it easy to find your name dyl). We hangout all the time, so it was nothing special to see him. haha But we did have shrimp tacos, which were so good, and we did share a chair, and then we went to Sushi which was also SO delicious. And Dylan ordered for me, so hopefully the waitress doesn't think were dating, haha. That would be so embarrassing. Derek and River were there too, they are pretty cute together. But I'm still a little sad him and Camden aren't getting married. But it's okay, I can't control everything. haha.
Basically I just love my whole family and really can't talk about all of them.
But since Monica was the one getting Married I should probably mention how gorgeous she was. And so happy. I love happy people, especially those getting married. Her husband's name is James, so I guess he is my new cousin too. They are off on a cruise, so hope they are having a wonderful time.

Okay so I have other things I want to blog, but this is already excessive, so I'll stop.

xoxo

p.s. I know my title is cheesy, but Jake asked me who my dream guy was today. And Seth Myers was the first none married person I could think of. Love him.

My Last Name is Davidson

This week, I skipped some school and joined my family in Park City, Utah! I'm not going to lie, I'm not a huge fan of Utah. But I love it here. The town, adorable. The Mountains, green. Temperature, almost not too hot. It has been an extremely fun weekend. I wouldn't say better than last, but equally exciting. Some highlights are a beer garden, temple open house, Joseph Smith movie (both with my non member family members), seeing my grandma in my big sunglasses, best steak ever, water aerobics, horseback riding, zip line, watching ski jumping, ROOTS shopping, and dinner out with the whole family. All in 2 days. It feels like it has been much longer, which I love.

My dad is the only member in his family. However they are the sweetest people I know. My grandpa, is so adorable, soft spoken, and amazing. He is my only

grandpa still alive at 91, (and I can't wait to meet my grandpa Fiala once again) he has been a Prisoner of war, and I personally believe an amazing father figure for my father. Who I also love. He is similar in many ways.

Side note: My absolute favorite thing about my dad is that he listens to everything I say, but when I say outrageous things he never responds, he just keeps looking at whatever he was, and smiles. He is a peacemaker, and a fighter. My mother is a fighter, so the combination made me into more of a fighter than a lover. :) But you all know that. Oh another thing I love about my dad, is he discovered my "love language" is getting gifts. Which is sadly very very true. Example: today we found sweatshirts at the Roots

store, and I persuaded my mother to get it for me, and I can feel her love in the warmth of the sweatshirt. I mean I also love being told "I love you" especially when people truly mean it. Okay that was a long side note.

Back to my family. My grandpa is basically my Hero. My grandma is getting old, I mean she has always been old, but now she has begun to show it. She is 85, and just began using a walking stick (its not really a cane, and I believe she would be offended if I called it that). My grandma is extremely caring, always worrying about everyone, making sure everyone feels loved, welcomed, and comfortable. So I'm sure its difficult for her to let us help her. Like just offering her my seat, she will stubbornly refuse, until I assure her I have another. I love her. My Uncle John is old, as Dylan pointed out. However I have NEVER thought of him this way, he has and probably will always be my favorite uncle. He is so easy to talk to, and mostly listen to. He has a story for everything, and a favorite restaurant or dessert in every city he has been. He just makes me happy. My

aunt Jean (my fathers sister) lives next to my grandparents and does a wonderful job taking care of them. She is like my grandma in that way, she is very onto of making everyone feel safe and comfortable. Also there is no drama on this side of the family (or at least none that I see). We really do just all enjoy each others company,

everyone is always offering to pay for things, and spoil us ridiculously. My Uncle Dick, looks just like my dad, only he dresses better. Except they have the same shoes, its cute. He is divorced,

but is dating a women names Lisa. She is super nice, and I just love her, and her children. Molly and Matthew which is only confusing because my uncle Dick also has a son named Matt. And Grant, who is a

sweet heart. He is at the age where he really should be a total brat, but he isn't. He tried to eat healthy, and likes doing whatever we want. He is also pretty easy to talk to, especially been a teen boy ready to go into middle school. I only have three cousins on this side, so I'm happy to welcome in Molly and Matthew into the family. Even thought Molly thinks "it would just be creepy" if Dick and Lisa got married. Molly is fun. She is the most mature 8 year old I have EVER met, yet still as childish as ever. Matthew is a mommas boy, so I didn't get to know him as much, but he loves camera's like me so I'm sure we would get along. Matt my actual cousin, is now too old for family reunions and didn't come, but he is pretty hardcore with his

facial hair, and bullet bike. But he is just like the rest of my family and is actually a sweet

heart. He wishes. Well this weekend is winding down and I'm becoming more aware of the piles of homework I need to do.

ohh well who does that.

Well long story short, I love my Family and how cute they are. In case you didn't get that from above. Its going to be hard to go back to school for the next two weeks, but only 14 more days. Then my life is going to be all about bread, Bridger, and my best friends! I'm stoked.

By the way Bridger update, they just got a new car for me to drive around when I'm babysitting him :)

I love my life! And all of you!

Goodnight

p.s. Yes I'm still jealous I didn't get to go to coldplay, but I'm less upset because one Brittany just called me, and I'm currently listening to Fix You, and two I'm not just sitting in Rexburg wanting to cut my wrist.
