Spencer, Spencer, La, La, La

The following post is dedicated to MY MAN.

With my Mom having surgery and being bed ridden, my Dad trying to take care of her, working full time, teaching online classes and being Bishop, and me working 6 days a week and preparing for my state boards- needless to say things have been chaotic at the Oels' house!

But lucky, lucky, me I have the most caring, understanding, loving, stress-free boyfriend any girl couldn't even dream up!! Spencer is so perfect!! When I'm stressed and whining and complaining and just being a brat MY man is there by my side doing everything to settle me down and bringing me back to reality. He is constantly striving to make my life easier; whether its making me a quick snack, bringing me ice water the way he knows I LOVE it, sneaking away and doing the dishes while I'm napping or racing me to the gas pump to pay before I can. Its amazing how the little things add up to so much. I am so blessed that I am able to everyday fall more and more in love with my best friend.

LUCKY ME!

MOVING!!!

With my 23rd birthday passing I have been thinking more and more about what I'm doing with my life.... I realize I keep getting older and its about stinking time I grow up and go off on my own. With this being said I have decided to MOVE OUT! It's true, starting August 1st I will be living on my own.. okay so not exactly on my own persay.... I'm moving in with 5 other girls!! Just like the good 'ol days at Tuscany, but thank heaven the rooms are larger (My gina's know what i'm talkin about). I'm so excited to be making this move! I will be sad to leave home because I love my parents so much and I'm so grateful for all they do for me. I will also have to leave my little Max behind *tear*. The good thing about it is I'm only moving about 15 minutes from my parents house, so you best believe I'll be hitting up my parents w/ spencer for Sunday dinners and laundry days!!!

I'm so excited to finally live with girls again! It will definitly be much different than before seeing as my roommates will be 18,19,20 and 21. So many different dynamics!! I'm so excited to learn and grow with these girls!


The best part is my "COUSIN" EMILY is going to be moving in with me!!!! She and I have talked about wanting to move in together for over 5 years! Finally its happening! I can only imagine the madness that will come of this!!

Another great thing about the move is i will finally be closer to my SPENCER! Currently Spencer lives in Tierrasanta which is about 20-25 minutes away from my house..... I know this doesn't seem like that far but when it's 11 o'clock and Spencer is falling asleep driving home its a big deal! Luckily my new house is only 7minutes away from Spencers (we timed it)!!! Also I will be closer to work! I'm going to love that extra 5 minutes i get to sleep in now!!!

I am feeling absolutely great about this change I get to experience! I know that the Lord works in mysterious ways and I know he is putting my in this house for more than just my progression. I'm so excited to get to know Michelle, Haley, Jessica, Emily and Nameless girl more each day!!!


ps. my 4th of July was fabulous- Update and pictures to come.

pps. My mom just underwent her 5th hip replacement surgery, please keep her in your prayers.

ppps. I love and miss all my GINA's & my Ptown 5th Floor girls sooooooo much and I hope you are all doing well.

SAN JOSE

This has been a crazy month at work with all sorts of changes and with all of this I've been absolutely exhausted! Lucky for me I got to take a little Vaca with my Spencer!!

Spencer's little bro Chad was graduating from middle school so we went to join the family for the celebrations!! Here's just a few pics to highlight the trip.


On our way to the airport..


Getting ready for our first plane trip together.


We got lucky enough to not have to sit by anyone else.. by avoiding eye contact with everyone!


Waiting for graduation to start and wishing it wasn't so HOT!


Spence got the sheer excitement of the moment!

The trip was too short but we had a great time! While I was there I also got the chance to have lunch with my Grandparents! I have a new love for Northern California! We were so sad to leave but grateful for the time we had. Thanks so much to Mom/Connie for taking care of us better than anyone should! Thanks to Dad/Ed for keeping Spencer in line and telling us when to go to bed :). Burdett's you're just great! We love you and miss you!!

Memorial Day

I had an AWESOME memorial day weekend!! One of my best friends, Lisa, came down to visit southern California with her roommates from Idaho and I was graced by her presence for the WHOLE WEEKEND!

We had a so much fun! I set her up on a date with my friend Mikey and Spencer, obviously came along with me! We went down to Mission Beach rode the Giant Dipper roller coaster and walked along the boardwalk for a while.

-- Highlights of the night--
1. When the roller coaster stopped before our ascend to the top.
2. Watching a cop car in pursuit of an idiot driving down the boardwalk.
3. Three girls screaming from their beach house of how wasted they were.
4. Dancing outside of Canes with Spencer like drunken idiots.

The next day we drove up to LA and met up with Lisa's roommates and slept the night before driving up to 6 Flags the next morning. It was Spencer's first trip to 6 flags and I was so excited to share one of my favorite places with him!! My mom got a bunch of cheap tickets from her work but Spencer and I got the best deal of the day!! We got $10 tickets! It was awesome!!! We rode a lot of fun coasters, but the highlight of the day was X2- as usual. I LOVE ROLLER COASTERS!! And X2 is the best. Every time I ride it I get so nervous/ excited like i've never ridden it before! My favorite part of the ride was hearing Spencer scream like a girl the ENTIRE time!








So happy about our cheap tix
