"There isn't a mandolin in here, there is just a ring"

I’m Emgaged, clif asked me July 25th, in St johns az how it happen:
We were in St. Johns for the 24th of july celebration (pioneer days) and Larry Heap (my sister n law Lisa’s dad) has a wagon pull by his mules, that he has in the parade every year. Clif had asked if he can ride in it after the parade, so my brother John took us to the end of the parade, and Larry took us for a ride on the wagon. Normally every year the mandolin club riding with him, this year he didn’t. He had church leaders of St. Johns, so I asked Larry about that, why they didn’t play this year. But Bev’s (Lisa’s mom) mandolin was under the seat. So I asked why her mandolin was there. Larry explained that it was for the church leaders they, if they wanted to play and the parade route. Clif asked if that was a mandolin and if he could play it. So Clif asked me to get it out for him. I opened up the case and said there is nothing in here there is just a ring. And I don’t know what I was thinking but I was confused. And clif had to tell me that it was my ring, then asked me to marry him. I said yes of course.
We are getting married November 14th 2009, at the Mesa, Az temple

Wicked

I have the sound track for wicked, and I love it. I use to listen to it while I worked in Thatcher as a janitor, but I love it, and on 7/14 My sister Verlynne and I went to go see it, it was so good, I love it, and was glad I got to spend time with my sister, and nephew Ryan.

I have the best older sister ever, and I have amazing priesthood holder brothers (4 of them, and one is still single)

America

Greer Az (the little Colorado River)

Clif and I were invited to go to round valley for the 4th of july, by our friends Krystal (not Dorathy) and Bruce Balls, So we stayed at the cabin in Greer, it was a fun/ interesting trip, Clif and I were leave Friday night when he got off work, and bring Audra (Spinny’s girlfriend) with us. Friday morning I got a call from Krystal asking for my dad’s #, because she was in an accident in Geronimo, (they were going the scenic route to greer, aka the wrong way) but long story short bruce ran into a stopped car on the highway, so I gave her my dad’s # and he picked her from the accident from globe they found a ride to greer, and we met them up there
So clif and I got up to greer at like 11-11:30 pm.

(clif and i in our "western wear" at theBalls campsite)

Saturday morning we dress in our western wear, and went to the parade it was fun, we were at the very start of it, clif really wanted candy, he finally got sucker, and a Frisbee,

(Clif got a sucker and frisbee at the parade.. he looks kinda scary)

we had lunch at the Balls camp site, we had sandwiches and tostadas, then played with clifs Frisbee, after lunch we went to the rodeo, it was clif’s first rodeo, he was so excited that he wants to be in the st johns rodeo on the 24th (not really) but then we went to my favorite sisters cabin to spend some time with them , (I don’t get to see them often) and ryan must have been excited to see me, he rode his bike down the hill to come make sure we knew the way, now if it was anyone else that wouldn’t happen.
we then went to Booga red’s then the waitress told us the best spot to go to watch the fireworks in on the highway to greer, or highway to st. johns so we went to the one highway to greer, it was awesome and city boy clif had seen the best firework show of his life (because it was in a small town)
We were going to go to a country dance but that got ruled out, we were pretty tired, so we went back to the cabin to go to bed
Sunday we woke up and went to church, we saw a few people there we knew then went back to Greer went for a little walk, then took a nap,

(Clif being a "man" and expolring)

then went for another little walk, and clif wanted to be a boy and explore the woods, while I wanted to be a girl and hold his hand.

(i wanted to take "cute girly" pictures)

We then left we had to pick up audrea from round valley, so there was 5 people in my little car. It was a fun trip , while clif was driving he was afraid of many things,

Standing elk

Leaping deer

Cow in the road

Falling trucks

leaping children,

and walking people,
so he pretty much thought that we were going to die on the road,

So clif and i tried to get so good pictures of us together ....

but one or the other was making a face...



or both of us...

i gues we got a couple good ones



(the whole walk we went on he wanted his picture in the creek)

(this is a crazy picture i don't know what happen with the picture but it is kinda cool)

(the Balls.. well Bruce Balls and Kystal (not Dorathy) hebner.. some day will be krystal balls)

p.s. why i titled it America was at the parade Clif would say America to people that walked by, i get real imbarrased, and kinda mad, so i had to keep telling him to stop..

Clifs Zoo Trip

So one day Krystal (not dorathy) took Clif to the zoo, it was a great time

Went we first got there we got free pop sicles.. from a guy sitting out side with a ice chest.. oops i took candy from a stranger.. (don't worry he was passing them out to a group of school kids, that was on a feild trip, he was part of the group and he had extras)

and Krystal (not dorathy) had to see the giraffs.. he loves them, and we were pretty close.

and clif just got a little camera happy.. i don't think the thing worked so clif got made, but really it doesn't work

Clif acting like he is cooling off with the display..

Shhh.. don’t tell clif the type writer really doesn’t work..

So he wanted to take a picture like a stereotypical Asian tourist…. I think..

Just clif being clif…

me being a bird..
Clif and I looking at gross bugs…

So Krystal tried so hard to take this picture.. I kept looking back right when she would go to take it.. she finally got one though

So after the zoo we went to in and out, (possible the best fast food hamburgers ever) and I got me an animal style cheese burger (trying to stick to the whole zoo theme) and Krystal and I took pictures

"Just Friends"

As most people know i have been dating a boy for the last six months named Clifton Alan Peotter(like the town next to Morenci, last name is pronounced pe-ott-er ), many people have called him other names such as, Clifford, Morenci, Dexter, Ben, Mr. Giggles, or just Clif or Cliff. i have had a lot of fun with this boy, and enjoy the time we spend together. We have had a lot of laughs like me asking who hon solo is. (some guy off star wars with bushy hair) just fyi never say star wars and star trek are the same thing. he is a really good guy, and treats me like a girl should be treated, he opens my door, and even calls me princess on some occasion (he thinks it is funny, cuz that is what my family likes to calls me) he is in a band called city knight, and is the lead singer/song writer, and is pursuing a career in music business/marketing. He has three younger sisters and an older brother. he is an rm and served in peru. (I know that question is asked a lot)
He is really good with talking to people, he can pretty much talk to anyone.
And my family likes him, though my dad has a few marks against him. 1. he wears funny socks. (ankle socks, that is what every one wears anymore except me dad) 2. he drinks pepsi (my dad offered him pepsi, diet pepsi, or cherry pepsi, clif really didn’t have a chose on anything else but pepsi) 3. he giggles (my dad has often referred to clif as mr. giggles, because clif is a very happy person, and laughs a lot) so I have decided that if this is all my dad can find wrong with clif, my dad is trying really hard to find something wrong with clif and really likes clif and just doesn’t want to admit it.
My favorite expereice with clif and my dad was, 6 months ago when clif and I were dating like 2-3 days I was talking to my dad on the phone and clif was with me (you need to under stand this part, my dad can barely hear me so I have to yell in the phone the whole conversation) so I am yelling at my dad so he can hear me, then all of a sudden he stops talking and ask who I am with, (clif barely moved and didn’t make to much noise) so I say my friend Clifton (never call your boyfriend, just your friend) so my dad says Kristen who is Kristen, I had said no dad Clifton he is a boy, and my dad says “a boy, how many kids does he have” I said “ a lot dad, and he works at Mc Donald’s flipping burgers, can I please talk to mom” so later on my dad finds out that clif is really my boyfriend and calls me up and leaves a message on my phone “just friends Sylvia, what’s the story”

• these are a couple of the vert few pictures we have together, the first one is the worst picture, he looks like he has to be with me, and the second is new years eve, we had a bomb fire and burnt a scare crow (peruvian tradition) and the bottles in are hands are sparkling cider.

The Perry Princess

So I thought I would be cool and start a blog like the rest of my family, so it is www.theperrypricess.blogspot.com because my family likes to call me the princess, my sister likes to say I have lived a princess life, mainly because growing up she had to grade her own cheese, as well as cheese for the whole family, but I on the other hand I had pre graded cheese, and my dad loves to buy me princess theme things, such as Disney princess cold cereal, a princess key for my parents’ house, or a princess Easter basket.
