‎”THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. it may save a life.) Reblog this!
  It seems that alot of attackers use some tactic to get away with violence. Not many people know how to take care of themselves when faced with such asituation. Everyone should read this especially each n every girl in this world. THOUGHT THIS WAS GOOD INFO TO PASS ALONG…FYI - Through a rapist’s eyes! A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle.They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.6] Number three is public restrooms.7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.———————————————————————————————————————————-POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk:can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.
 2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow andarmpit or in the upper inner thigh - HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told ourinstructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without usingmuch pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feellittle silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.——————————————————————————————————————————-FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….I know you are smart enough to know these pointers but there will be some, where you will go “hmm I must remember that” After reading forward it to someone you care about, never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/orpurse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE. 
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may behiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .b. If you! u are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.) 
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

Best carpet stain remover ever!

So I spent a lot of time on Pinterest today which i don't usually do so I feel mostly justified in wasting the time PLUS i found the best carpet stain remover ever and I didn't even have to go buy any ingredients!  Maybe everyone already knows about this and I am just an idiot but I am still pretty excited about it.  We have had these stupid black stains in our tan carpet since we moved into it and I have never been able to get rid of them UNTIL TODAY :)  All you need is 2 cups hot water, tablespoon white vinegar, and a tablespoon clear dish soap (I didn't have clear dish soap just the original Dawn blue stuff, risky i know but I used it haha and it worked so we're good).  Dump a little baking soda on the spots and let it sit for like 10 minutes then vacuum it up then pour some of the mixture onto it and let it sit for a minute and then i just scrubbed it a little and dabbed it up!  It was the easiest thing ever and our carpet looks a million times better!  I'm so happy.  :)  I wish I had a before and after picture but I didn't think about it until after I had cleaned up the black stains.

ITS A BOY!!!!

This is our first Ultrasound from just 9 weeks.  The first time we saw our cute little Jelly bean :)  We found out the sex at our appointment yesterday but we don't get any pictures until my next appointment in 3 weeks so i'll post a current one then.




Well its official!  Hubby and I are going to be having a little boy in August and we couldn't be happier!  I'm just reaching my 18 week point and things are really starting to look up.  I was sick for pretty much the entire first trimester and things are finally starting to die down and I'm feeling more like myself again which is something I was positive would never happen.  The sickness seemed to never end!  I've been feeling pretty great (with a few exceptions) for about a week now and hopefully it will only keep getting better.  Some exciting things that are happening in the Wardell family...


-Baby is kicking!!  Bryce got to feel it too and it was so exciting.  I feel it more and more everyday and it just melts my heart :)


-We will be moving in exactly 27 days to Wisconsin!  I am so sad to be leaving my home and my family :( especially at this new turning point in our lives (baby)  I can use all the help I can get!  But I am excited to experience a different place for a few years (hopefully  :S  but lets be honest probably not less than 5) and to be there with my wonderful husband Bryce and our little boy.  We'll have to come home and visit a lot so our baby can play with and get to know the family and cousins!  Especially since Britt's little Carter will only be about a month older.


-We get to stay in Delta for Easter and i'm so excited!!!  I know it may sound stupid but I LOVE Easter, it is one of my favorite holidays.  The candy is the best, the colors, the grass, springtime!!! Awe :)..Not to mention cotton candy and 25 cent hot dogs!!  It's just something you can only appreciate growing up in Delta and I'm glad I got to experience it!


-I chopped my hair!  It is pretty dang short but I love it!  My sister Britt did it for me and it looks great, she is amazing!  I'll have to post some pictures soon of the new look.


That's all I can really think of right now so if I forgot anything important i'm just going to go ahead and blame it on pregnancy brain :)

Bahama Cruise 2012

       What a great way to start off the new year!  Big thanks to my hubby for all his hard work over the summer that earned us this much needed time away from the not so wintery but cold Utah weather.  Surprisingly and much to our disappointment there just so happen to be a cold front sweeping into Orlando, Florida the night that we arrived on January 4th.  Luckily it didn't last very long and when we went to Disney World the next day the weather was pretty amazing, not too hot and not too cold!  We spent the rest of our vacation on the cruise ship which stopped in Nassau and Coco Cay.  There we did some exploring, snorkeling, and some much needed beach bumming.  We topped the whole vacation off with an awesome air boat ride in Florida before we headed home to Utah.  Oh how I miss the sun and beautiful ocean!

Softest sand i've EVER felt

Conch Shell Bryce found on the beach

Queens Staircase.  This was amazing!  It was an escape route for royalty back in the day and it was carved BY HAND out of solid rock!  Took 16 years to finish.

Over 90 feet deep!

Enjoying one of the many awesome shows on the cruise ship, we got there early to get good seats!

Computer Zombie

I got to Relive tonight/this morning what my sister so vividly remembers from high school.  Jaclyn the computer zombie.  Ya see I had this crazy addiction in high school called "The Internet" and I dunno, some of you may have heard of it.  I (along with catrillions of others i'm sure) have wasted like years of my life on it but when the zombie comes out there is no fooling around.  I'm talking like crazy late hours on this thing!  It starts with Email..Facebook...other peoples blogs....pinterest....Google....before you know it, it's 2:30 in the morning and you're up on the couch, computer in lap, eating chocolate covered raisins, listening to random people doing covers of your favorite country songs on Youtube and you cant even sleep anymore!  Ever seen those commercials for Bing when the girl starts freaking out and rambling random crap from search over load or whatever it's about?  That is how my brain feels right now!  I'm FINALLY going to bed and I pra....what the? why is there a random stinky feet smell coming in from my second story window?...pray i'll be able to sleep.  Wish me luck!

Dedication....or the lack of

So I got the Relief Society blog list in my email yesterday and couldn't help but check a few of them out. Result... I can't believe how lame I am!  All of these girls work so diligently on their beautiful blogs and I make a not so grand post about eh...every 1-2 months.  So I made a pact with myself and I am going to try and be a more diligent blogger.  I have a great life full of blessings and excitement and its my duty to write those memories down! ( Plus I have so many dang pictures I never do anything with but somehow feel they are save worthy) So what am i waiting for!?  Here I come crazy bloggers, Im gettin' it in gear!
