Long Long Time

oh my goodness! I hadn't realized how long it had been since I last posted! Like a freaking month! I guess I'm just busy with school and work and whatever else takes up time.

right now, I'm getting over a cold. it pretty much sucks. I just want to go out and play but I feel like crap. Medicine helps that.

Well lets see what has happened since the last time I posted...

I started school. I decided to switch over to the new high school, Desert Hills, because it is closer to home and I'll have more opportunities as a senior there and of course my little brother Garrett goes there!

I have some really easy classes this semester and they are looking easy next semester! (senior year is supposed to be the best, right?) I've made some new friends which is really good, and they keep me going on my bad days. Homecoming (Newcoming) is on Saturday. I haven't been asked and I doubt that I will, but whatever! There is always more dances. :)

I work everyday Mon-Fri at Stapley Pharmacy as the delivery driver. :) (stay off the road. jk I'm a pretty good driver..especially in my boss's car!) anyways so I was working this past Friday and I went into this place (ted warthen which is like out in snow canyon) and when I got pack the car (had not been gone more than three minutes) there was a huge puddle of antifreeze just sitting there. I thought to myself that that is definitely not good. So i called me madre (both brad and Evan were out of town at the time) and she was like uh well can you make it back? so i tried. and so I turned off the a/c duh! and so i was smoking like crazy in the hot car...with the windows down and I'm going like twenty down snow canyon parkway. I felt like a g-ma cuz I NEVER go twenty. anyways smoke starts coming through my vents right (this is the focus not my actual car, thank heavens) and so I pointed them away from me and turned the heater on full blast. that made it even hotter in the car. so i called my mom again to tell her. and this is what she said and I quote "if you see flames pull over and i love you." end quote. thanks a lot mom. but needless to say i made it back to the pharmacy but i stunk like burnt antifreeze and you could hear the radiator or something like crackling. it was bad. all well. so brad and Evan were going to try and get it fixed today, but it's labor day so i don't think that is going to happen. so tomorrow i will be driving my car at work...but that's okay cuz Evan puts gas in it :)

so yeah now I'm just like sitting here trying to get a hold of this kid, but he is being a butt so I guess no fun for him today. he has been sick too, so i figure if we hang out we can't get each other sick cuz we already are or were. haha. well I will try to post more frequently but sometimes i just don't have a lot of time, ya know? haha.

CaTcH uP tImE!

It's been awhile since my last post. I've just been out of town and so busy that I haven't had the time to sit down and tell about all of it.

I worked at BN all week, and on Friday I went in to get my check and ended up staying there for three and a half hours helping hand out wristbands for the new Stephenie Meyer book Breaking Dawn. It's the fourth and last one in the series and teenage girls go crazy over it! I had one reserved at work, but when I went to Costco today, it was cheaper than it would have been with my discount, so I just got it there!

Evan Stapley called me and offered me the job at the pharmacy. I gratefully accepted the job and my first day is tomorrow. My last day at BN is Friday.

This past Friday my family and I traveled up North to Lagoon for the weekend. We got in late Friday night and just hung out in the hotel room. Saturday we slept in and hit up the Cracker Barrel before heading to the park.

There were lots of people there! (Probably because it was the last weekend to really do anything before school starts!) Mike and Summer were there as well, and so were Summers parents and her two of her younger sibling...Forrest and Bailey. Forrest was so excited to be there because this was the first time that he was big enough to go on all the rides. Corys family was also there. I saw them a few times and talked to them.

I went on Wicked. A rollercoaster....shocking I know. I got sick after and had to make it to the bathroom. Some of it was fun...not the STRAIGHT up and down parts or the upside down but the turns and stuff weren't that bad. We went on Rattlesnake Rapids before leaving the park and I got soaked! Let's not forget that I had on Khaki Capris and I wasn't thinking when I put my underwear on that they had a print on them and were a dark color...so when I got wet you could see everything! So I had to stretch my shirt and tank top down around my butt. Haha.

Garrett went on Wicked one last time before we left, but I didn't want to stand in line drenched. So I just sat and waited. Mike said he would buy me Dippin Dots if I went on a rollercoaster so of course I had to take him up on that offer. So I told him I went on Wicked and he gave me the money for my ice cream. What a great brother huh!

Between my adventure on the rollercoaster and Dippin Dots I was off with Mike and Summer. We met up with her family after they went on a few rides. We went to the drag racing area and watched people drag race. Mike, DJ and Spring all raced. It was fun. We bought these Grandmas cookies that were lemon. They were so good and we had never seen them anywhere before so we ate lots :) oh and the oatmeal ones too. They were both very delicious.

Today on our way home, we had to stop at costco for a few things and that is when I got my book and I'm bummed that I couldn't read it in the car because I get super car sick :( But we also stopped at the Provo Town Center (aka the mall) and I got two pairs of shoes that are super cute and some shirts and a jacket. I love jackets :) They are my favorite! Anyways it was a pretty fun weekend. I need to catch up on some sleep but I'll save that for another night because one of my favorite shows is coming on...and right now they are playing last weeks so I have to wait. All well.

I'm excited for tomorrow but also kinda nervous cause my mom will be watching my every move. eek! cross your fingers for me!

I <3 2 snap shots

Most of you know that I have a knack for always have my camera with me. If we are being dumb or just having a good time, it's always in my hand or near by. I think I'm wearing my camera out. I'm gettting pretty good at taking pictures that have me in them as well as other people. :) So now I can actually have a few pictures of me...you all know that if you are the one with the camera, then there is never any pictures of you!

I love how photogenic kids are. They are just so care-free about everything. As we get older we try to hide from the camera. We all know its true. So that is why I love taking pictures of kids. Most of the time I don't tell them that I'm taking pictures of them and they just go on doing whatever it was that they were doing and those make the best pictures. But like Emma (below) she noticed I was taking pictures and then she just started to be silly, which is fun. :)

I put up some of the pictures I have taken. I had to put up some of my favorites because I didn't want to use all my picture memory on this thing. All my pictures slow down our computer because there are so many. Haha. Hope you enjoy them!

Logans Eagle Project

Yesterday I went up to Veyo with Cory's family for his brother Logan's Eagle Project. I told them my job would be to "take pictures" so they could count my hours. Haha. The pictures are on four different cameras. Talk about variety. I had to throw some photography skills in there from my class. Haha.

For his project, they fixed up the ball field and the sand volleyball pit at the Veyo City Park. It was hot out but definately not as hot as the STG. (St. George) Plus we got cookies, chips and rootbeer floats so what is better than that?

After the project we drove home and I went to Leavitt's house. We watched tv and then ate Fettucine Alfredo for dinner. One of my personal favorites...so I told Cory we were staying. Hehe. Anyways that we played 21...aka Black Jack for you table players out there. His mom and dad were trying to teach us how to play at a table. I just try to get to 21. Haha. But if they dealer has a low card you stay or something hoping that they will bust.

Then we just talked for awhile until my mom called so I had to go home. It was almost eleven p.m. and I was worn out but I couldn't fall asleep so I turned on Greys Anatomy (another personal favorite) and I watched that until just after two a.m. That is usually when I go to bed anyways. So yeah that was my day yesterday. Here are some of the pictures from Logan's Eagle.
