CAMPING!!

This past week our family went on our annual camping trip. We went up towards Red Fish. I couldn't have asked for a better camping trip. Full of family, horses, fun, dirt, cards, and of course yummy food! We went on hikes, swam in very cold cold water, went on awesome horse rides (of course on the best horse Hot Dox) and made a bunch of memories. Definitely went out with a bang before I head off to the hot heat in Arizona!

I'ts about time!!!

Wow! I can't believe how long it has been since I have updated. I really don't have any excuses other then I just haven't taken the time:) So to catch up, I moved to Rigby to live with Shawn and Rachelle when I got home from DC. It was so fun living with their family and I got really close to them. My plan was to find a teaching job and finally start my career...but plans don't always happen the way I want! So, I moved back home and now I am just working at Sizzler trying to save up on money! My recent plans for now is to move to Arizona and start a new life there. Ha ha I just can't seem to stay in one place long enough! It will be an adventure and a fun one at that! The past 5-6 months have been full of some exciting times though. Casey and Whit both got married. Casey married Luke and Whit married Griff. The weddings were awesome and they both looked so beautiful. So, I guess that just leaves me..... AVAILABLE:) ha ha, that's for you Mel!! Don't worry, I want to just give my mom a break from all this wedding stuff:) Mel and Jo added another baby girl, Delaney, to their family! She is adorable and fits right in with their cute family. That's about it for now. Not too exciting for me, but it will be:) Life is great!

My addictions!

It is hard to pick just 5 things that I am addicted to because I have so many!!! But to narrow it down...
1. Ice cream... I could not live without it! I don't see how anyone could. I owe my life to whoever created that stuff because it is a little piece of heaven!
2. Family...I love my family so much. They do so much for me and I couldn't make it through life without them. Not a day goes by that I don't thank Heavenly Father for my family. I am soooo lucky!!!
3. Nielsen's Frozen Custard... This is not just any kind of ice cream. I take a bite, and become speechless! Yes, it is really that good:)
4.Cottage Cheese and Crackers... If it's not ice cream, then it has got to be cottage cheese. Give me a container of this stuff and it will be gone in 5 minutes. Around midnight, this stuff makes the perfect snack! It is even better eating it with Whitney sitting around the t.v.!
5. My corn bag...I have that thing attached to my hip. It is on my lap right now! I go to sleep with it every night and put it at the bottom of my bed to keep me nice and toasty to let me dream of ice cream, family, and cottage cheese:)
People who I tag are Rachelle, Melanie, Casey, and Whitney. Have fun and good luck!!

Home Sweet Home

After a long day of flying and traveling, I got home Friday night late. The next day was the best reunion with all my family. As you can see, I got mawled by all my neices and nephews with hugs and kisses. They have grown so much! I couldn't believe how much they have changed in only 4 months. I missed them so much and was so excited to see them. It's great to be home! I am so lucky to have such a great family to come home to. Phone calls, letters, emails, etc. from them are what got me through the long 4 months.

I not only got doggy piled on, but Melanie, the amazing hair dresser, cut my hair. I didn't want to get it cut in DC because for one, it is so dang expensive and two, I won't trust anyone but Melanie to cut my hair. She is the best :)

I NEED SLEEP!

The past couple of weeks I haven't been able to get a good night sleep. I think I am just so excited to go home and see my family. So last night, when I woke up at 3:30am, I was sick of eating (literally sick) so I got the idea to clean our oven. In our apartment there is this closet that all the crap leftover from previous interns gets shoved into. I thought that there might be some cleaning supplies in there so I jumped up on a broken night stand (yes broken is the key word here) while trying to reach up on the top shelf. Well, my balancing skills are usually pretty good, but not so much at 3:30 in the morning. The next thing I know, a window screen and then the vacuum cleaner are breaking my fall. I was laying there half moaning and laughing at myself for a good 5 minutes. When I finally got up I looked at my leg and realized I have a huge bruise/rash looking thing on my thigh. Good thing I didn't break my leg or anything like that because nobody would have been able to save me that early. I realized how retarded I was being so instead of cleaning, I laid back in my bed and played sudoku while listening to Christmas music! Only 4 more sleepless nights :)
