New house, new chapter

Bienvenido to the FOX DEN


Marshelle, Shelby, Vanessa and I now reside in a cute little town house. We've been moved in for 2 weeks now and are still getting everything together and it's been so fun playing house. Our first dinner consisted of wheat spaghetti with texas toast and sparkling cider. OH THATS RIGHT. we know how to cook :)

Then our first breakfast consisted of wheat french toast, bacon (lots of bacon) and hash browns with yummy juice. we are so domestic! haha!

THE FOX DEN has been so fun! we are in need of furniture but it's coming this week.

We had our first fish, her name was Eunice and she had a horn and mustache. SHE DIED AFTER 3 DAYS. So then, we filled her void with another, much cooler fish named SHNYGGA. Along with the fish, we bought 2 ghost Shrimp. They lived happily until Pierre, one of the shrimp, passed on to a better world. However, Shnygga and Jack are still swimming so SUCCESS, our fish and shrimp lasted a week.


I LOVE THE FOX DEN AND I LOVE MY ROOMMATES!

Bucket List

Someday, after working really hard to make good money, i want to do LOTS of things...thing that i will state in my...

Before I'm 30 BUCKET LIST!!

1. Visit and enter many Temples around the world! Starting with the one in Lima, Peru! (when i was there this past summer, it was closed for renovations, my desires to do baptisms were completely shattered and i may have shed a tear)



2. Rio De Janeiro- CARNIVAL!! Brazil has always been on my list mostly for their epic party of all time- carnival! They have bomb dot com food, too...and i'm lucky that a lady in my family ward is from there cause i've gotten to chow down on churrasco often. MmMM! Eu quero ir ao Brasil!


3. Machu Picchu. ENOUGH SAID. it is GORGEOUS and one of the seven wonders of the world. It also happens to be located in my beautiful country of Peru. I know i know,...how can i be Peruvian and never been to machu picchu? well, good question, i dont know. but im going someday!


4. Vamos a EspaƱa! i gotta have some love for good o' Spain. After all, my language and majority of foods come from Spain so HOLLER! quieres ir a barcelona?

5. NYC. i'm not a theater person, barely even like plays. Im more into musicals. Therefore, why not see on on BROADWAY? oh what's up NEW YORK CITY!!



6. Go to Hawaii/Tonga!! I've always been in love with the Polynesian culture, so why the heck have i not traveled there? Malo e' lelei, can a girl meet a foi lole to uma? ofa lahi atu :)

7. A reason behind my choice of career, was the example set by my uncle. He along with his surgical team from Stanford went to Peru and did free surgeries. I WILL BE A PART OF THAT TEAM SOMEDAY! My heart skips a beat just thinking about it,what a great way to serve! i wanna i wanna i wanna!

8. Sometime before i'm 30, id like to try to eat a pickle. I LOATHE PICKLES. never had one, but goodness the smell is enough to make me gag.

9. A CRUISE. 'nuff said. THERES A BOAT, JACK!!!!!

10. I would like to have my own garden.

11. Go on a hot air balloon. Ohhhh how i would love that!! especially with a boy.

12. Go to an opera. Have you heard me opera? i rock.

13. learn another language. I can understand Portuguese dang well, but i'd like to learn to be fluent in another language. Perhaps vietnamese since it's the 3rd most used language in a Hospital. cool fact, huh?

14. Fly a helicopter! you know how really awesome guys take girls on really awesome dates and they go flying? (dont know howwww but i've seen it!). welp, i wanna!! and i wanna fly it.

15. Learn to sew. I got the cooking and cleaning down, but goodness i should learn to sew considering someday ill have little ankle biters with missing buttons and will need to fix that. But i have plenty of time for that.


that's all i can think of for now.

What's on your bucket list?

amici photography

First ever, Nalvarte family pictures!


So i was so lucky to get an amazing deal with a fantastic photographer! Our family, being all Peruvian, doesn't have as a custom to get family pictures done every year. I dont know why, it's just not within our culture. But finally, we got our first ones done and here are a sneak peak on the photographers blog.

(after all, she was an elementary teacher for many years). i HIGHLY recommend her to ANYONE! we are so so so satisfied and content with her work.

check out her blog, give her a call for your own pictures or if you know of anyone needing pictures,...SHE IS YOUR WOMAN! i promise :-)

Dear Diary...

Today i saw a boy, and i wonder if he noticed me , he took my breath away...


PSYCHE! props to britney spears for the above lyrics.


I bought my new 2011 Journal yesterday (cutie Hello Kitty journal that im obsessed with) and today i went through and read some entries from my 2010 journal.

Have you ever gone back and read your journal and thought, "dang is this real life? did this really happen in my life?" . Welp, I had that moment today as I read about a certain male that loved to make me mad and in a few words, he dragged me and kept me in the back burner until i finally got out of it.

Dont get me wrong, he is now a really good friend whom I adore, but relationship wise...mmm no thanks.

But anyways, this certain entry was awesome. Dated March 28th, 2010. I wrote it in a way that sounds like a terrible love novel. I may read it to my girlfriends soon, just cause it's that good.

anyone else journal??


Im excited to start writing in my Hello Kitty journal ^_^

BraceFace

guess what?!

I get braces,....AGAIN!


...and im not even sad!

....im EXCITED!

yep, I loved my braces when i was a teen so im excited for these new ones i get on WEDNESDAY.


why do i have to get braces again?

Back in the summer i got a crown placed and now my bottom retainers dont fit cause one tooth shifted.

Treatment plan: Lower braces for 8 weeks. And a permanent retainer placed cause i wasn't a good girl with my regular retainers.



I Love braces.
I am weird.

yay!
