Am I really blogging right now?

I am envious of the people that have time to regularly blog and document the things that go on in their life. I think it's such a good way to journal and keep a visual/digital record of the things happening in your life. Face book is kind of my daily blurb record, mostly because it's easier and faster.

This past year has been INSANE and I've loved every second of it. It's funny how different situations, good and bad, lead you to where you are today. I think this past year has been one of my favorites to date. The people I have met/reconnected with, the career moves I have made, the vacations I have taken, and the fun times that my family and I have had as we've grown really close to each other!

Starting my own business (FUSE Performing Arts Center) has been more than just a decision. It has allowed me develop awesome relationships, start and share new hobbies, get people to try new things, give kids opportunities, give adults opportunities, and lastly allowed me to exercise my passion in a positive, chill, energetic atmosphere!

This is Friday Night Ballroom class. Perfect date night! Come join us!
Michael (my you wont get me to dance husband) LIKES to dance now. Ya..... Weird, I know! We started ballroom lessons every Friday at my studio, FUSE Performing Arts. Once you get past the stage of arguing and messing up, and you just learn TOGETHER, you get down a handful of moves and you can actually dance with each other and ENJOY it. My whole family has started coming and we all have fun dancing and then go out afterward. It;s been fun to share this new hobby and hang out, because honestly my siblings and parents are my best friends and I'd rather be with them than anybody :)

Michael has also found a new Passion! Working out! Ya, don't we wish we all this passion and hobby. He has really found something he likes and is dedicated to. It's called Team[FIT] bootcamps. After a few months of hardcore working out he realized that he's going to need to eat right eventually if he's gonna REALLY change his body. So since he is scared to eat vegetables and some meat, he drinks protein shakes and JUICES. He's so into it, it makes me laugh!!! But he feels so much better and has more energy than ever having all those nutrients in his body for the first time in his life! The documentary "Fat, Sick, and Dying" is what got him motivated to juice. Now we juice every morning.

I am also now the Nutritionist for the Team[FIT] organization. I teach group nutrition classes every other Saturday and see members one on one to help them get super healthy and closer to their fitness goals! I've found so much joy in helping people realize that they can eat real food and feel better. When you help someone change their life it's an awesome feeling. I'm do glad I chose that career path in college :) My dear friend Peggy Moffat is now helping me produce my very own cook book!

VACATIONS!!!
I decided I am addicted to vacation. When I worked for other people whether it be at an office or other dance studios, I always had to work on Saturdays. I felt like it took away from time with Michael and I also felt like I could never get away. Saturdays are now my favorite days because I get to experience them!!!
That being said, I find myself going out of town quite often lately! Check it out:
May: DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
June: Girls Camp
July: UPSTATE NEW YORK
August: CALIFORNIA
September: UTAH
October: To be decided :)
PICTURE TIME
Michael surfed with Laron while Rachel and I laid on the beach.


Thank you Rachel and Laron for showing us a good time in California, letting us stay with you, and hangin out!
Michael is obsessed with Umami Burger!

We went to Disneyland/CA Adventure. We were kids again. It's was a good time :)

I love this part of the park. All 40's hollywood and stuff :)
This was a parade or something. Obviously no one liked it as much as me!

Oh Gee Wiz!!!! So excited to be at the happiest place on Earth.
Then we met up with these crazy people! Run Max Run !!! haha

Jim and Shalene didn't have as much fun with the Kiddos as anticipated, but it was fun to see Max freak out and Molly get excited at everything!

Our last day in Cali, we went to the beach and met up with more family!

Fox and Kim
Is this not the cutest picture ever!


Oh and we saw World of Color, and it was amazing! Light + Color + Water = Amazing and chills down my body.

Mommy and Molly. So cute :)

We always take this self portrait in Michael's truck on our way to whatever we are doing. This was on the way to Salsa on Friday

Michael turned 27 this month and he was really excited to get this card from my parents. hahah!

My mom and I went to New York to visit my awesome brother, Kirk. We both needed root canals and there's no better excuse than that to fly to New York right??? We had a really good time and always love seeing my brother and his adorable family. Love you guys! Can you tell we were sad to leave!?!

Describes the part of our trip when we weren't "under the microscope" SO FUN!
I turned 25 in August. I feel like I have officially graduated from being a young 20er. I still feel 17 though. Many people think I am 17 when they see me. Is it because I am not afraid to be immature at moments or is the way I dress? Or maybe it's cause I don't have babies... My journey to become a mom hasn't come so easy to me. I am not the fertile Mertle that my mom and sister are. It's been a stressful thing to deal with, but I've taken some new steps to help me along in this process and maybe by the time I post next I will have a different type of update. Cross your fingers :)
Thanks for my birthday cake MOM, it was awesome! I had to use my new camera to capture it's deliciousness!

"HELP!! My history is I want to molest children who are too young to speak.
Just like I did my brothers.
Now my brother likes lesbians and I want transsexuals."

How many times did military pilot suck that little boy's dick? How many times did that pedophile suck that child's penis?? Confused how prostitution works, he let the boy drive his car if the boy let him copulate him. He graduated and left the neighborhood before the boy "came of age" so a homosexual pedophile he remains for life. He turned all his brothers into "givers", and one went on to a period of exhibited homosexuality. This mentally ill career military wants his son to have the car in which he first sucked prepubescent penis.
Is there a connection with the transsexual clue with his "wife"?? Is it connected or is this a separate dysfunction?
Was he ever tested? He had a period of sexual promiscuity after enlistment in an attempt to prove he was a man, desperate to erase his history. Was he tested with a transsexual to see if he would take the bait?? He did:::His wife!!!
Marilyn Manson is a clue about his wife's legacy.
You can only imagine what the military's scathing evaluation of his dysfunctional personality had to say, not to mention what his fellow pilots thought. He had no business being there.
The greeks don't want no freaks. Should have killed himself like he was invited to in his movie.
The pedophile wants to reach up her dress and fondle her penis.
Just because he is husband material doesn't mean he isn't a tranny. "Pre- or post-op?" "Oh, pre. Definitely pre." Volcanic. Hit the ceiling.

I am not italian, and i genuinely acquired nothing against them, but I listen to women stating that italian men are soooo scorching, and
beautiful, with product looks, but these very same girls are
with fellas that are not italian. And if they are italian, they
surely do not appear like models. I imply I can realize the aggravation of girls after they see males ogling at models/skinny females, and it
makes me query regardless of whether my bodily
look is appropriate or not. So my query is are guys of other ethnicities
much less fascinating? is it a fantasy of each and every lady to be with an
italian dude?
