WOW! UPDATE NEEDED!

So it has been over a year since I have posted anything on here! Time has flown by and I have been very busy! To update:

Bob: Retired for the 2nd time around! Maybe someday he will decide that he could actually STOP working! He is still working with the foundation but not in the capacity that he has been. He made an agreement with Marlene that he would step down as Executive Director this year so that they could travel...Amazingly HE DID! He got a new truck and a 5th wheel to start the adventures of traveling with Marlene!

Marlene: She also retired this year! She has dedicated the past 34 years to teaching our high school students in Davis County and finally decided to throw in the towel! It was long over-due! There were some sad moments when she realized that she would never again have a first day of school! She did get to experience one last "first day" of school with Whitney this year, but it was still bitter sweet! Since she talked Bob into really being retired, they have started to travel!

Whitney: She started her LAST semester at Weber State! As long as she passes all of her classes, 20 credits worth, she will GRADUATE in DECEMBER!!! None of this waiting till April crap, she is done! She will have her Bachelors in Technical Sales with a Minor in Fashion Merchandising!! She also is working down at Gateway Bridal and Prom as a Bridal Consultant! So far she LOVES it and it is in an areas that she loves, FASHION & WEDDINGS!! She took this job knowing that she would have to put of moving back to New York off for a little bit, but she was okay because she knew she couldn't pass this job up, plus she needs to save some money!!

The Scopel's: Kimber and Jayson are settled into their house and doing great! Jayson started the Bachelor's program at Weber State this fall. He has a few more semesters and then he will have his BS in Nursing, after which he will only have a few more years to work and then he can apply for Graduate School! Kimber is still working at Rock Hotel Dental! She is still liking being there! She is contemplating the idea of getting her Masters, she really likes not having to go to school, but her Masters is something she would really like to get! They are at a great place in their lives right now and "baby" has crossed their, and our, minds! They are excited to one day become parents, and we are EXCITED to soon be Grandpa's, Grandma's, and AUNTS!! ** Just for clarification, they aren't pregnant YET, but we hope soon!! ** Sasha bear is also good, she is becoming quite the little pampered princess, if she wasn't already! She has developed more of an attitude but is still the apple of all of our eyes!!

Well...that's the "Readers Digest" version of the update on our family! I (Whitney) will try and be better at blogging! I might start posting more than just family things on here so that I can actually have things to blog about, like design, fashion, love, shoes, school, and weddings!!

Peace & Love
The Hasenyagers!

*PS I think I am going to make this private pretty soon! I am now super paranoid about hackers and stockers and all that stuff due to recent events so if you do happen to read this, leave me an email address so when I do go private I can add you!!*

What if I had never met you guys...

So I have been on a Sex and the City kick lately, and I was watching the episode where Carrie moves to Paris with the Russian, and when she and the girls are at the "last supper" Carrie makes the statement:

"What if I had never met you guys?"

And it got me thinking about my friends...what if I had never met them?

Kinsey...I would never had been able to: realize my flaws and how important people like her are, see scary movies, spend endless hours laughing at things that only make sense to us, have a book of quotes, drive around Davis County stalking people, have end of summer nights, see every movie known to man kind, eat at CPK to the point where we were regulars, get ready for dances, get ready for pageants, watch my sister get married, or go through the drive thru's and ask for water and band-aids! We have had our ups and downs over 6 years...but I owe so much to her, she taught me some of life's hardest lessons, and even though I wish I cold take some of the situations back...I am a better person because of her!

Rachel...with out my Rachie I would be lost! She is my "I don't give a shit" friend! She and I are a match made in heaven! We too have had our ups and downs, but my post high school life would have been super boring if it weren't for her! She brought out a side of me that I didn't know I had! I can be my total self around her, and she never makes me feel stupid! Drive-ins, ruffles and ranch, the explorer, the tiberon, St. George crack whore & 4-sale, great Halloweens, Wet Seal, movies in sweats, my "Mexican" family & Chaz, my beautiful nephew!

Kaitlyn, Kylie, and Jennica! The girls of 27! I had the most amazing year with them! I know Logan would not have been so great if it weren't for them! Lake Powell, the lake powell boys, green thumb, the nunnery, the fruit loop, Howl, my 21st birthday, the aggie station, 44 oz, Mexico, the weekly line up of shows to gather on the couch and watch 3 or more hours of TV! and so many other things that would be a huge list! Because of them I am more myself than I have been in a long time!

How different my life would be if they hadn't been in my life! A span of 6 years...how different would my life had been? I can't imagine where I would be today if it weren't for them...

And the boys: Jason B., Tanner, and Jason M...how different my life would be if they weren't in it...i owe my life to Jason B, literally! I wonder if he hadn't been in my life, especially when grandma and grandpa had died, would I still be here?? Would I know what love was for someone other than your family? And would I have never started lying to my parents...(more so than I already did? Hey i'm not perfect)...such a bad influence...but a HUGE part of my life!

And Tanner...oh Tanner!...Nemo night...a love for gum, Mr. Davies class, sophomore benches and pizza hut breadsticks...and heartbreak.

Then Jason M...i learned a lot about myself when I was with him...and I learned what "grown up" love was...and what "grown up" heartbreak was...and like I said in a previous post...what if he had stayed in my life...would I have come to new york and figured out who I was...what if I had never agreed to go on that first date with him...I would have missed out on a lot of things and a lot of great memories...

Even though it wasn't all flowers and rainbows...I have some of the best memories that put a smile on my face whenever I think about them!

I was blessed to have these people in my life...and even though we could have pulled off about 12 seasons of our own drama filled reality show that could kick Laguna Beach, The Hills, and even The City's asses ...they each played a huge role in who I am...I'm not perfect, and I still have a long way to go, but without them...like it or not...I wouldn't be me...
