Days 27-30

2012-01-18T19:19:00.000-07:00

Ok wow, I never finished this project. I warned you all that I might not do it in 30 days... or a year... ok so

Day 27 a picture of you last year and now and how have you changed since then?
I really am not in the mood to go hunt down the most recent picture of me. In fact I don't think I have one from the last 3-4 months. So if you really want to know, go look at my facebook page.

Day 28 your favorite music
hmmmm :) I love music. I listen to County mostly, but i have found lately that if I listen to Classical on my way home from work, I am a much happier person. That must be the violinist in me.

Day 29 something that you could never get tired of doing
Hiking. I can never get enough of being out in nature enjoying the beauty and enjoying it at a nice slow hiking pace. I just wish i had more time for it and more people who randomly love to go hiking.

Day 30 a photograph of yourself today + three good things that have happened in the past

Once again, I don't have a picture of me. Let me describe how i look tonight though. (It will help you appreciate the fact that I don't have a picture.) I have my hair pulled back into a pony tail. My make up has pretty much worn off, I am wearing sweats and I don't feel well tonight. There you go. As for the 3 good things in the past?? Well... 1. I graduated from college with my bachelors degree. 2. I have had the chance to travel the world playing my violin. 3. I have always been blessed with really good friends.

There I finished :)

Day 26 a photo of somewhere you've been too

2011-05-03T18:35:00.000-06:00

This is Neuschwanstein in Bavaria, Germany. I went there in 2004 with the Utah Valley Youth Symphony. It is such a beautiful place!

Day 25 what's in your purse?

2011-05-03T18:25:00.002-06:00

Well, I don't normally carry a purse, but I do take one to work. Right now it has my wallet (which has TONS of stuff in it) my car and house keys, my work keys, cough drops, aleve, and peppermint oil. Kinda random. Usually I just carry my wallet and my keys though. I hate purses.

Day 24 A Photo of Something That Means A Lot to You

2011-05-03T18:14:00.000-06:00

My freedom and the USA!

Day 23: 15 facts about yourself

2011-05-02T21:40:00.000-06:00

1. I prefer sleeping in a tent than in a building.
2. I have a nephew who is 5 years younger than me.
3. Both my high school and my university, have awesome unofficial school songs, "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor and "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC
4. I played softball for 5 summers when I was young.
5. One of my favorite things to do in the Summer is go to the zoo, even though I am an adult now.
6. The only memory my friends have of playing at my house is playing with the dress ups in my basement. (I think it is because my family has the coolest dress ups ever!)
7. I have played the violin since I was 5 years old.
8. I love rappelling but hate rock climbing.
9. Most of the time I would rather hang out with my family than my friends.
10. My biggest fear is being attacked by an animal at night in the woods.
11. There are a lot of places I want to go visit in the world, but I probably never will because I HATE flying. It makes me sick.
12. I don't like amusement park rides. They also make me sick.
13. One of my favorite foods is toast.
14. I became accident prone once I went to College. In college I got stitches, broke a bone, sprained my wrist and my shoulder, and slid off the side of a mountain while hiking.
15. And the most common thing about me that everyone knows is , I am the youngest of 10 kids. I love my big family!

Day 22 A letter to someone who has hurt you recently

2011-05-02T20:29:00.000-06:00

Ok I am back at it. I don't know that anyone has hurt me recently but there is someone who has really frustrated me so I will do that instead.
Dear X,
First of all I really hope you know how much I appreciate everything you do to help me. I know I still have a lot of questions and my constant questions probably get annoying at times. I appreciate everything you take care of so I don't have to. I just wish I could help you more. You always seemed to be stressed to the point that you can't deal with anything that pops up out of the blue. I try hard to be a good example by treating the people who create these distractions with kindness and compassion. I just wish you could remember that these people are not having the best of days themselves and they are probably very frustrated. I wish you would show a little compassion on them.
I don't really understand why you think everyone is out to take your responsibilities. No one wants to do that. We just want to make your life easier. There is no need to be secretive in your responsibilities.
I hope that someday you will be able to take a step back and realize that if you show people a little more compassion and friendliness they will be nicer to you. I don't think you realize that there are times when I avoid having to talk to you because I am afraid of having you snap at me. I hope that we can learn to work next to each other and become a great team.
Sincerely, Janet

Day 21: A photo of something that makes you happy

2011-02-16T21:31:00.001-07:00

Do I really have to only chose one? I have a whole facebook photo album called random stuff i find that makes me happy. it is full of old memories, great roommates and friends and great pranks my friends and I pulled on each other. I guess you could go look at it there if you are my friend on facebook. Here is a preview though.

The top picture is my friend Sandy's dog Tanner. He was at the rifle range at camp so we put eye and ear protection on him :) the next is when i caution taped my friend Jake's car. too bad he never saw it... and the last is a giant flag at an SUU football game.

Day 20: The meaning behind your blog name

2011-02-16T21:22:00.000-07:00

Well it is pretty self explanatory. It is my blog, so I labeled it so. :) I now think I should have been more creative in naming my blog. hmmm maybe i will try and change that someday.... if it is even possible to do that.

Day 19: another picture of yourself

2011-02-16T21:20:00.000-07:00

This picture was taken by my wonderful college roommate Katie Wimer. This was back in the day when I was in ROTC. Oh the fun times :)

Day 18: Something you crave a lot

2011-02-16T21:15:00.000-07:00

This is easy. Sushi. I love it. It is kinda out of my budget right now though.

Day 17: a picture of you and your family

2011-02-16T21:13:00.000-07:00

I wanted to get an updated one of these this Christmas while we were all in Utah, but I forgot. This picture is from 2009. Yeah my family is getting so big it is hard to fit us all into the picture.

Gotta love ALL of them :) There are a 2 nieces and a nephew missing from this picture.

Day 16: your celebrity crush

2011-02-16T21:09:00.000-07:00

I honestly don't have one. Yeah there are good looking celebrities but there isn't a single one I would say that i have a crush on. Now if Lyil's band makes it big then I will have a celebrity crush. The guitar player of Ember Ridge :)

Day 15: Something you don't leave the house without

2011-02-16T21:06:00.000-07:00

I know everyone probably is doing the cell phone. That is true of me too, but the other thing I will never leave the house without is chapstick. Lyil says I am addicted. It is true. I am ok with this. I have to have chapstick multiple times a day. If I do ever forget it, I go crazy until I can get home to get it or get to a store to buy more.

Day 14: A TV show you are currently addicted to

2011-02-16T21:03:00.000-07:00

I can't say that I am addicted to any TV show right now. But the last one I was addicted to, which I still love and will watch sometimes, is The Big Bang Theory. It is SO FUNNY!!!

Day 13: Your favorite musician and why

2011-02-16T21:01:00.000-07:00

I would have to say Garth Brooks. I love country and there aren't many of his songs that I don't like. I have heard many other musicians do covers on his music. He is a respected artist and has great music!

Day 12: A picture of the town you live in

2011-02-16T20:57:00.000-07:00

Good ol' Orem Utah! This is the city center. It is kinda hard to find a picture of a town.

Day 11: What's in your make up bag

2011-02-16T20:45:00.000-07:00

Good question. My make up bag is packed up in some box somewhere. It has been for a year or so now. The make up I wear daily is laying on my vanity right now. Black eye liner and black mascara. That's it. I have no need for lots of make up and I get lots of comments about how pretty my eyes are so I must be doing something right. :)

Day 10: A photo of your favorite place to eat

2011-02-16T20:43:00.000-07:00

hmmm This is always a hard choice because it all depends on my mood. I really love Sushi Ya though. Their Crystal Shrimp roll is awesome!

Day 9: A photo of something you last purchased

2011-02-16T20:20:00.000-07:00

Yep, I bought deodorant and chocolate :)

Day 8: a song to match your mood

2011-02-16T20:11:00.001-07:00

I'm not really sure what my mood is right now, but since I just did the post about weddings, I will share Love Like Crazy by Lee Brice.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0f5g18EbG4
I love the lyrics of this song. Listen closely and you will hear the best advice to make you stay in love forever. I hope you all like it.

Day 7: Your perfect Wedding

2011-02-16T20:04:00.000-07:00

Ok, I am back at it. My Dream wedding will be here:

The Mt. Timpanogos Temple. I hope to get married in the spring or summer so it is warm. I plan on wearing this dress:

I would love to have my colors be Green and Brown. I want the green to be a bright spring green like the color of leaves. If I could have my reception outside or in a garden or greenhouse it would be awesome! I want lots of plants and fresh flowers. I love this cake:

Mostly I just hope it is a really happy day with the man I love and our families. I am excited to get married someday. :)

Day 6: A photo of an animal you would love to keep as a pet

2011-02-02T20:41:00.000-07:00

This is a baby bonobo. They are a cousin to the chimpanzee but way more calm. And SO CUTE!!

Day 5: A photo of yourself two years ago

2011-02-02T20:14:00.000-07:00

My hair was about 6 inches longer. I still have this shirt and I wear it all the time. I don't have glasses anymore. That was a very smart move on my part. This picture was taking right before I went and chopped 14 inches off.

Day 4: Your favorite photograph of your best friend.

2011-02-02T20:06:00.000-07:00

Like everyone else in the world, I am sure, I have multiple best friends. So I will show you them all :)
First LYIL:

Next: MELISSA:

Next: DANA:

In reality though I have lots of really good friends.

Day 3: your idea of the perfect first date

2011-02-02T19:51:00.000-07:00

An ideal first date for me would be in the spring, summer or fall, so that it was warm enough to do something outside. I would want to go hiking with a picnic. It wouldn't be a really hard hike so that we could talk and laugh and have fun together. First dates should be all about finding out about who the other person is and what kinds of things they like to do. I must say, my first date with Lyil was pretty great. We went to Bridal Veil and played around up there and then we went back to his place and watched a movie and just relaxed. It was great!

Day 2: A photo of something you ate today.

2011-02-02T19:46:00.000-07:00

It just so happens that my mom made my favorite food for dinner tonight. :)

Day 1: A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was.

2011-02-02T19:43:00.000-07:00

This picture was from a recent sledding trip. It was epic. As for my day... It was a good day. I slept in, and then when I came upstairs my brother Keith and my nephews Preston and Austin were here. I played with them till it was time to go to work. Then I worked from noon to 5 which felt more like a full 8 hour day. Then I drove home in rush hour traffic. I came home to find that my mom had made my favorite dinner. Spaghetti. Now I am just relaxing while I wait for Lyil's band practice to be done.

I'll give this a try.

2011-02-02T19:35:00.000-07:00

Ok so I have seen friends doing this on their blogs and on facebook. So I think I will try it. BUT I might not do just one a day.

I got a job!!!

2011-01-19T13:55:00.000-07:00

I have been searching for a job for over a month now since school got out. I was starting to think I would never get a job, when an old friend from High School sent me a message on facebook telling me about a job where she works. They wanted to interview me immediately. It is at the Advanced Hearing Center in Salt Lake near Sugar House. It is a part time receptionist job. It will be a long commute every day but I think it will be worth it just to have a job again. I am just glad I won't be bored anymore. I have a lot to learn since I have never been a receptionist before, but I am excited and this should be fun. Wish me luck!

Not having a camera is lame!

2011-01-08T14:58:00.000-07:00

Since I have the worst luck in the world with cameras, and my camera broke AGAIN back in September, I haven't had much motivation to blog. I think blogs with pictures are a lot more entertaining to read so it make me sad to know that my blog is becoming boring. (Not that it was really all that exciting to begin with since I never write) Oh well.

I have been having fun since I last posted. I finished my semester with good grades, I spent a lot of time with my friends before I moved away from Cedar City forever. There are some really good friends down there, that I hope I never lose contact with. I also moved back to Orem.

I love being done with school. I love living in Orem. It means I get to see Lyil every day instead of once every few weeks. Lyil and I have had a lot of fun.

Christmas this year was lots of fun! All of my siblings were in Utah and we had a big party two days after Christmas for my parents anniversary. It was a little nuts having 40 people in the house but it was so nice to have everyone there. I got to spend most of Christmas Day with Lyil and his family in Nephi. His Grandma makes the best turkey ever and his uncle makes the BEST cherry pie I have ever had.

The only thing that could make this whole being done with school thing better, is if I could get a job. Lyil and I are both unemployed and are having a hard time finding jobs. Hopefully something comes soon though. Hopefully I will get a job soon so I can blog about that.

Time is a funny thing

2010-11-13T11:06:00.000-07:00

Have you ever noticed that time sometimes seems to move at different speeds? I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about. For instance when sitting in a really boring class time seems to slow down, like it knows you are in agony and it is mocking you. And other times when you have been really busy you will pause and realized that time has seemed to speed up and get away from you. I experienced time speeding up yesterday. My friend Chris invited me over to his house to watch the newest episode of The Office. That was at 3PM. We just kept watching TV after and talking and we were just having a lot of fun together. When we finally looked at the time again it was 9PM. I had spent 6 hours there and it really only felt like 2, maybe 3 at the most! And whenever another month rolls by I realize how long I have been dating Lyil. It is 6 months now! However it only feels like 3-4. I like the fact that when we are having a good time, we are capable of forgetting about the concept of time and just enjoy the moment. I hope that since I have so much to do these next few weeks that time will do it's little speeding up trick so that it doesn't seem like such a long time until I see my family and Lyil again.

My other thought for the day is, This last week or so I have started noticing the little things in life that make me really happy. Like how the other day I was walking home from school and saw people laughing and that made me smile. Or how people will randomly smile at me as I walk to class. Or how even though it was snowing the other day (which I was NOT happy about) as I was driving home from my friend Dana's house I noticed how pretty it looked as it fell underneath the street light. My new goal is to try and find one little thing every day that makes me happy or makes me smile and to share it. I mostly have been posting it as my facebook status. Give it a try! I have noticed that I have been happier this last week and I think it is because I am remembering the small little things that make me happy.

One Month Left

2010-11-05T15:45:00.000-06:00

Well it is crunch time. I am in my last semester of college and the semester is down to it's last month. Finals week starts December 6th. This semester I only had to take 11 credits. Can I just say that going to school part time is lame!!!! The only time I would ever suggest going part time is if you are working full time. I, however, am only working part time. For the first 2 months of the semester I was bored out of my mind! My classes didn't have much homework and I only have one class that has tests at all this semester. The majority of my work this semester had to wait until this last month. I have big final projects in all of my classes due at the end of this month and papers and presentations spread through-out the rest of the month.

On top of all this, 2 of my 11 credits is a practicum. All I needed for this class was 30 hours of work. I was trying to get those hours through the Boy Scouts since that is what I want to go into after I graduate. Well, I have had NO luck at all finding hours with them. People are so inconsiderate sometimes. They won't return my phone calls or emails. I have a meeting with my adviser next week, and she is going to give me a project. Hopefully it will be somewhat applicable to my future job.

On another note, in one week from today, I will have been dating this amazing man for 6 wonderful months!

Even though most of it has had to be long distance, we have made it work. Lyil is one great guy. He works hard to make me happy and the relationship work. Once I am done with school, hopefully the long distance part will be over. (p.s. my camera is broken so I stole this picture of him off of his facebook. This is him last Christmas, so it is a little bit old and he looks slightly different.)

I wish my life were a little more exciting so I could blog about something other than school. I really haven't done much since my last blog post. I did go rappelling on my birthday at the end of September. I went home a lot on the weekends to see Lyil, and I went to a comedian during SUU's homecoming week. It was Pete Lee. He was pretty funny, and clean. Hopefully something besides school will happen this month so that I will have the motivation to blog about it.

Uh Oh, It's been over a year...

2010-09-10T22:49:00.010-06:00

It has been over a year since I last blogged. Who knows if anyone even still reads this. Anyway, a lot has happened this year. Here's how I will catch you all up. I will give a brief update on each month since my last post which was in August of 2009.
September 2009
I was back in school and living in a house with 6 other girls that I didn't know at all. I was kind of depressed about the wedding being called off. This was just a rough month for me.
October 2009
I was doing a little bit better emotionally and was swamped with school. I still just kind of kept to myself though. Nothing too exciting happened that I can remember. I cut 14 inches of my hair off as well this month. This picture is my new hair cut.
November 2009
I don't have much to say about this month either. School was keeping me pretty busy which was what I needed. I got to go home for Thanksgiving break and I got to see a lot of my family. I ditched my glasses for contacts this month and that turned out to be a great idea! I love my new look. This is me with contacts.
December 2009
December is always nice cause school ends half way through the month. Christmas break was great. I got to come home and I spent a lot of time with my family. Honestly it was so long ago I don't remember much.
January 2010
School started again. I really loved my classes this semester. I was in ROTC again and it was keeping me busy which really helped my emotional side. My roommate did a photo shoot with me in my uniform. She is so talented!
February 2010
I stayed busy with school but I also started making time to do things with friends. Getting out of my basement bedroom and doing things with friends continued to help me be happier. I also got a new niece this month. Brookley Ann LeBaron!
March 2010
I got a new nephew this month. Austin Stanley LeBaron! I was just plugging along in school.
April 2010
I found out that I would be graduating in December! This was the best news of my year so far :) ROTC was keeping me super busy. Almost more busy than I wanted to be. I was doing a lot of color guards for all kinds of different events including republican conventions that the Governor was at.
May 2010
School ended and I moved home for the summer. About half way through the summer I went to my friend Melissa's stake institute class and after the class when we were just socializing I met my new boyfriend. His name is Lyil Sperry and is in Melissa's ward. The rest of the month was spent with him and my family. He got to meet most of my family on Memorial Day. He met everyone at once and handled it really well. :) This is a picture of me and Lyil. (it was actually taken at the end of the summer)
June 2010
I was working at Maple Dell Scout Camp. I was doing my internship for school, on top of being a commissioner, Asst. Head Commissioner, and Asst. Program Director. My weekends were spent with Lyil. A lot of weekends I would go to Lyil's concerts. He was playing in a band up in the Roy area. This picture is of the commissioners this summer.
July 2010
I was still at camp. Life was super busy, but I was loving every minute of it. Camp was really great this summer! Oh I don't remember if this happened in June or July, but I will tell this story here. I saved a baby deer's life this summer. We found an abandoned baby deer who was malnourished. My camp director kept it in his cabin for a night and then I got to drive it down to Payson the next day to the vet. It was the cutest little deer I had ever seen! This is a picture of the deer and my camp directors daughter Amanda.
August 2010
Camp was ending. I finished up my internship and passed with flying colors :) I had a couple of weeks in between camp and school that I got to spend with Lyil. I moved down to Cedar City and started my last semester of school. I only have 9 credits this semester. I am working part time as a janitor.
September 2010
I am just plugging along in school. I am counting down the days until I graduate. I have had some interesting experiences this month. My bedroom flooded and mold started to grow. I am currently living with my friend Dana and her husband while my land lord fixes the problem. I am so grateful that I have such great friends who will take me in when I need it. I am also learning how to play the mandolin and learning how to fiddle so that when I move home I can join Lyil's band. On Labor Day I got the chance to walk in the Onion Days Parade in Payson with the Maple Dell staff. We sang camp songs and did Maple Dell yells the entire parade route. I almost lost my voice that day, but it was lots of fun!

Well I hope you all enjoyed this terribly long update! Maybe I will try and write more before next year. maybe...

My summer of 2009

2009-08-16T10:37:00.002-06:00

All i can say is blessings sure do come in all shapes and sizes. This summer was a very busy one packed full of fun, emotion, and adventure. I worked at Maple Dell Scout Camp again, this year as a commissioner. I loved it so much! I really learned a lot this summer and was really pushed to become more outgoing and to stand up for myself more. I really feel like i learned a lot this summer and grew a lot. It was so fun to be out in the woods all summer around the plants and animals and hundreds and hundreds of scouts :) I am so grateful for the staff that i worked with this summer. They became really great friends who i owe a lot to.
As my last post shows I was engaged. I was going to get married on the last day of camp, but about 2 1/2 weeks before that day Rory and I decided that we needed to postpone our wedding. We aren't sure for how long. Maybe a year or two, maybe never. Right now we are just taking it a day at a time and we will see where life takes us. This really has turned out to be a very good decision for us. Even though we had almost all of the plans finalized and everything ready to go, I feel that we made a good choice. This is where the wonderful camp staff comes back into play in my life. As you can imagine I had a rough couple of weeks emotionally after Rory and I called off the wedding. I am so grateful I was at camp during this time. The staff was really there for me. when i wanted to talk someone was always there to listen and talk with me, but when i didn't want to think about it, they didn't push it or ask questions. Because i was at camp i was forced to continue working and to be happy, at least around the scouts. I am so grateful for this because without camp i might still be in a depression.
So thanks to all of my friends and family who have stood by me this summer and been there when i needed them. Thanks for helping me plan a wedding and for being there for me when it didn't happen. I really am so blessed! This summer has been a really fun one! Now it is back to school for me.

I'm Engaged!

2009-04-24T10:43:00.004-06:00

On April 10,2009 the man of my dreams and love of my life asked me to marry him. So here is the story. Rory and I have been dating on and off for about a year and a half now. We had recently gotten back together when we planned a camping trip to Capitol Reef National Park. I had never been there before and the whole trip down he kept talking about how magical it was and how it would be a life changing experience for me. At this point I had no idea what he was talking about so I just thought "wow this place must be pretty spectacular!" So Rory, me, and our friends Kenzie and Sean set up camp. Once we got settled Rory said he wanted to take me on a hike. We invited Kenzie and Sean and headed off up the trail. Kenzie was snapping pictures the whole way up. while Rory was saying things like "I call this the stairway to heaven because it is strenuous but pure bliss at the top" (more references to what was about to happen and I was still oblivious!) Well we reached the top, took some pictures and headed back down the trail a ways to a place that we wanted to take more pictures. Rory asked Kenzie to take a picture of the two of us and had her push record on the camera instead of actually taking pictures. Rory pulled the ring out of his pocket and hugged me so that he could get the ring out with out me seeing it. I asked him what he was doing with his hands since it wasn't a normal hug. He said nothing, but then I heard the box snap shut. My face at this point must have been priceless as I figured out what was happening. He pulled the ring between the two of us and got down on one knee. He told me that he loved me and asked me to marry him. As I said yes he went to put the ring on, but got the wrong hand (he was totally nervous. it was adorable!) We got a few more pictures and then took "interviews" from everyone. Kenzie and Sean told how they helped plan it all and how they helped keep the secret. It was perfect. I always dreamed that I would be proposed to on top of a mountain and my dream came true. Rory proposed with a promise ring. The promise was that i would get to choose my own engagement ring. As soon as we got back to Cedar City from camping we went straight to the jewelers and chose my ring. I couldn't be happier. I love Rory so much. He is my best friend and I am so excited to spend the rest of eternity with him! We are getting married on August 8,2009 in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple. I will try and post more pictures later when I get access to them. (they are on Rory's camera)

My ROTC Adventures

2009-03-07T18:33:00.004-07:00

Ok i know it has been such a long time since i have written anything. My computer has been broken which means i am using the library a lot and most of the time i have just enough time to check my email and facebook and move on to other things like class or homework. A lot has changed in my life this semester. I am now single, which is just fine. (most of the time) and I have some pretty great classes.

One of my new favorite classes is ROTC. No this does not mean that i have joined the military. I am just taking the class for fun. I am learning some good leadership skills and all about how the military works. and No i don't plan on joining. I have thought about it some, but I have exercise induced asthma so there would have to be so many waivers and things like that, that it's just not worth it. Anyway, it has been a lot of fun so far and i have learned a lot. we have a 3 hour lab once a week where we go out and learn tactics and paintball. sometimes we set up ambushes and other times we deal the "civilians". At first it was all just going over my head but the last two weeks that we did paintballing i really enjoyed it and actually understood the mission and what was going on. (the first picture is of me when i got shot in the back and the second is of me and Cadet Romero all ready to go)

I have also had the chance to do two color guards for the gymnastics meets here. Because i am short i am always on the left holding a gun. I really like doing the color guard. It reminds me of being at scout camp and doing flag ceremonies. (in the picture i am the once closest to the camera and then it goes Cadet Carey, Cadet Caldwell, and Cadet Romero)
well I hope i can add more later, but there is my update:)

Institute Formal Dance

2008-11-29T15:34:00.004-07:00

Last Saturday was the Institute formal dance. I was supposed to be set up on a blind date but on the day of the dance we couldn't get a hold of the guy. So my friends called up Rory and asked him to take me. So Kyle and Brandon has cooked a thanksgiving dinner for us all which turned out really good. They cooked a turkey, mashed potatoes, rolls, green bean casserole, and stuffing. After dinner we went to the dance. The dance was lots of fun. Rory taught me a few swing dancing moves and by the end of the night I was starting to improve. :)

Late Birthday

2008-10-15T09:34:00.004-06:00

So i just realized that i never posted about my birthday! This year i turned 22. It was such a good birthday. I woke up and my roommates had decorated the apartment with balloons and streamers and a present. It was on a monday so i didn't even have to go to classes on my birthday which was nice. Rory and I went out to the Old Iron town ruins. We discovered them a few weeks ago, but didn't get a chance to look at them so we went back. It was kind of interesting and it gave me a chance to finish up my photography assignment. Then my friend Dana took me out to lunch where i ate way too much food. That night Rory was going to take me to dinner but i was still full from lunch so instead we went to the library and worked on our puzzle for a while. Then he pulled off a really cool surprise. He told me that he had to go pick up something from his aunts house but when we got there he took me to the backyard which had a gazebo, where he had music playing and he made me some really good flambes. After that we went out to 3peaks where we played on the swings and star gazed. It was so much fun and made for the perfect birthday ever!

midterms

2008-10-15T09:24:00.003-06:00

So here is a little update on my life recently. This week is midterms. (yuck) I feel pretty good about them though. I did really good on my outdoor skills canyoneering midterm, and i feel like i knew most of the answers on my photography midterm, and i was finally able to find the answers for my outdoor rec midterm. Now i just have to hope that i found the right answers. So yeah school is going really well. And as a bonus all of my classes have been canceled this thursday :)
Even though Rory and I are both really busy, we have found time to still spend quite a bit of time together and we are having fun. We have a bunch of friends coming down for the weekend so we are going to have a lot of fun. we are hoping that it will get warm enough that we can go hiking with them or something fun outside.
This last weekend i was able to go home to visit my family and my friends. I got to go to my friend Celeste's baby shower. It was so fun to see her again. I also got to see my friends Sarah, Jenny, and Kristen. We don't get to see each other very often so it is really fun when we do. we were really good friends back in Junior High. I wish i could post some pictures with this post, but i don't have my camera with me so bare with me. Im going to try and keep this more updated as well, so stay tuned!

It's been a while

2008-09-04T21:51:00.002-06:00

It has been such a long time since i posted last. This is because I was away from the internet all summer long. I worked at scout camp which maybe i will post more about later. i would really love to post some pictures of this summer but my camera broke and my computer broke. so maybe someday i will be able to. but for now i will just tell you about the hike that Rory and i went on yesterday. We drove up Cedar canyon to the SUU cabin and started hiking up behind it. Neither of us knew where we were going so we decided to just explore. we ended up doing some off trail stuff until we came across a trail, then we found the river and followed that for a long time. Rory could see a trail up on top of the mountain and decided that we needed to get to that trail. So back off the trail we went till we found the trail. The trial ended for a little ways and while we were trying to cross this section of mountain that was just dirt i lost my footing and started sliding down the side of the mountain. I was able to grab a tree branch and then Rory was able to pull me to safety using Ropes. we made it back the the truck before the sun set with only a few minor scrapes. It was definitely a fun adventure :) It was a very beautiful place and i would love to go back and hike there again. I will see if i can get pictures added sometime soon.

last week's hike

2008-05-29T11:42:00.003-06:00

I know this is a little delayed in getting posted but i have been pretty busy/i forgot about it. Last week Melissa and I went hiking in Provo Canyon. We hiked part of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. It was super green and we had a lot of fun. We found a dead squirrel on the trial. There were tons of pretty wild flowers. It was kind of an overcast day, so all of the colors were really bright and vibrant.

some thoughts I have run across lately

2008-05-21T10:46:00.004-06:00

I just thought that I would share some of the really great thoughts that I have run across lately. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

'Now, I have never had the experience of navigating

a very large ship in the time of a storm, but I do have

an SUV with power steering. Isn't it amazing that with

just a few fingers and a thumb, I can maneuver two

tons of vehicle through traffic? Power steering does

not require monumental strength or determination to

completely change the direction your car is going.

Likewise, our efforts to change or correct our course

do not always have to be monumental. Small

adjustments in our thoughts, words, and actions can

produce powerful change in getting us or keeping us

on the course back to our Heavenly Father. Small

and simple steps are the power steering in our life's voyages.

Or, 'by small and simple things are great

things brought to pass" (Alma 37:6)

Kristin Trussel, 2007 BYU Women's Conference

I really like this one. It gives me hope that if i just keep trying and keep making small corrections in my life that my life will turn out alright.

The Choice

I want to put a warning out there to all of my friends. The warning has to do with
a deception that is creating a lot of havoc in the lives of unsuspecting people
everywhere. This deception is the most prevalent and potentially dangerous of any I
know, and a major part of your energy should be dedicated to identifying and
combating it – for if you are deceived by it, your life will predictably become
miserable as a result. The deception of which I speak is the belief that you have
no choice. This is the most damaging part of a victim paradigm. What happens to
you or around you in your life is not nearly as important as what happens within you.
You can’t always control what is happening, but you will always retain what Viktor
Frankl called “the last of human freedoms” – to choose your attitude in ANY given set
of circumstances.

Choose wisely!

As one of my friends once said "you always have the choice to be happy." Even the worst situations can turn out alright if you just have the right attitude. :) I hope you all enjoyed these as much as I did.

a quick update

2008-05-13T19:59:00.002-06:00

well, i survived finals. I took my last test on may 2nd. I was supposed to drive home that day too, but by the time i got all my cleaning done and all checked out i was too tired to drive alone for 3 hours. so instead i went downstairs and helped Rory finish up his cleaning and packing so that he could get checked out. I then helped him move all his stuff to his Aunts house. After that we rented a movie and crashed in his living room for one last movie night. the next morning at 6:30 we woke up and said goodbye for 4 months, so that he could go to work and i could get headed home.
I got my grades back. all of my classes were in the "B" range except for math, which i failed. oops. (i wasn't too surprised by it).

This last saturday i got to spend my day hiking. I started out the morning by hiking to Timpanogos Cave with Liz, Rosey, Melody, Katie, Rachel and Rob. we didn't go through the cave cause that costs money and we are all poor, but it was a great hike. Then we went and got lunch and then Liz, Rosey, Melody, and I drove to camp and did more hiking. We tried to go up to Rondezvous Ridge, but there was still quite a bit of snow up there and we lost the trail. so after hiking around for a while we turned back, and headed down the pipeline trail and into pine forest. In Pine Forest we discovered that Einstein (the tree that had been struck by lightning that we would show to the scouts) had fallen over. We headed back into camp and took a picture of '06, '07, and '08s Nature Directors in front of the nature cabins. (Rosey, Melody, and Me) If i had the picture i would post it, but it was on Rosey's camera.

Now i am just getting ready for camp to start. in the mean time i will be house sitting for my parents. And there is an update on me! sorry for the lack of pictures. I misplaced my camera for a few days, but it has been found. :)

The long awaited post from me.

2008-05-13T19:45:00.003-06:00

i know it has been quite a while since i last posted anything, and i feel bad because i left you with a cliff hanger of a post. SORRY! so as for my last post, the ROTC military banquet was lots of fun. Rory showed up earlier than i expected and i was running a little late so he had to wait for me to finish getting ready. (But only for about 5 min. He was rather impatient.) Katie (my roommate) snapped a couple of pictures as we ran out the door. they had a really good dinner for us and then they handed out the awards and had a guest speaker. then they had some slideshows and movies of their semester. overall it was a great night. here are some pictures.

sneak peak to my next post

2008-04-16T09:31:00.004-06:00

I got asked to the ROTC Military Banquet. It is tomorrow evening so maybe Friday I will post some pictures and tell you all about it. I'm pretty excited. It should be fun.

Ecology Conservation Director

2008-04-14T16:34:00.002-06:00

Yep! I am going to be the Eco/Con Director this year at Maple Dell. I am so excited and at the same time so scared. I will have a lot of responsibility, lots of paperwork, and lots of merit badges to teach. But I am going to have a ton of fun this summer! I couldn't ask for a better summer job! (it would help if they payed a little more, but i don't do this for the money.) So wish me luck everyone and try to have as much fun this summer as i know that i will have :) here is a picture of my area.

Vegas!

2008-04-03T12:18:00.003-06:00

Last Saturday i got to go spend the day in Vegas. Katie, Lindy, Becky, and I left about 8:30 in the morning and drove down to Vegas. We ate lunch at nIn-n-Out. It was my first time eating there. I really liked it. We then spent the rest of the day walking up and down the strip. we went to many of the different hotels/casinos and the m&m store, the coke store, and planet hollywood.This was the only wedding chapel we saw all day so we took a picture by it.This is Becky Lindy and Kate in front of the Eiffel Tower. This guy wanted a girl in the picture with him at the m&m store. (kind of random, but what ever).
I am not the biggest fan of Vegas, but I still had a lot of fun. My favorite part of Vegas is the Bellagio water shows. The weather that day was perfect and so we sat and relaxed while we waited for the water shows to start. we watched 2 of them. we ate dinner at a buffet and then headed home about 8:30 at night. It was a long day, but it was a ton of fun and well worth it.

back to school

2008-03-27T10:32:00.003-06:00

Well, school has started again for me and it has felt like midterms all over again since i got back on tuesday. my teachers decided that it would be a good idea to have tests right after spring break since they all know just how much we study over spring break. I had a criminal justice test yesterday that i think i did really well on. I had to write a 3 page paper yesterday for my marriage and family relations class and i have a math test today. I also have a test next tuesday in my sight singing and ear trainging class. Luckily i only have 4 more weeks of classes once this week is over and then finals week! yay! It's going to be a busy month full of final projects and tests and papers. time to go study for my math test :)

more hiking

2008-03-21T23:25:00.003-06:00

This last week has been my spring break. I went up to Orem for a few days and while. Saturday, Me and Melissa and Richard hiked up to the Y. it was snowing and foggy but so fun! on Wednesday i came back down to Cedar and i have been working some. Today Rory and I went hiking in Kolob Canyon. We did a 5 mile hike. It was so beautiful! parts of it felt like we were hiking in Zions and other parts felt like we were hiking in Northern Utah. it was a nice blend of scenery. It was perfect weather for hiking today too. I don't have many pictures from either hike but here are some. enjoy:)

I have been reading this book off and on for probably 4 years now and im only on page 120. From what i remember it is a good book. I really just don't like reading and most books don't keep my attention long enough for me to make it all the way through the book. I would give you a synopsis of what it's about but i haven't made it far enough yet and it's been a long time since I have ready any of it. So if you want to know what it's about go read it for yourself.

Tuesday's hike.

2008-03-14T08:41:00.003-06:00

I know i am slow at posting about this little adventure. Tuesday was Rory's birthday and all he wanted to do was to go back to Zions and go hiking again. So Me and Rory and Jake and Alycia went and did the emerald pools hike. its a nice 1 mile hike. we took our time and took a lot of pictures and just had a lot of fun together. When we were up at upper falls we decided that we wanted to go out to a sand bar in the middle of the pool and get our picture taken. so we all jumped out there. When it was time to go back we discovered that it was going to be quite a challenge. I almost fell in, and if i had i would have taken Rory in with me. It was a ton of fun. we didn't get home till 9 at night then we went to a birthday party for Rory and had cake and icecream and then we watched a movie. Alycia and me

my weekend hike

2008-03-10T11:52:00.004-06:00

Me, Rory, Robert, Corey, Mikelle, Collette, Morgan, Tamoyo, Yugi, and Sun traveled down to Zions National Park on saturday to hike Angels Landing. It started out really warm but once we made it up the first set of switchbacks a storm started rolling in. We made it up to the turn around point when half of the group decided to turn back and go back the the truck. We went a little ways further and the rest of the group decided to turn back. Rory and I, however, decided that we didnt come all this way and pay all the money to quit so we continued up to the top. It was a lot of fun. The most dangerous parts of the hike still had snow and ice so they were even more dangerous. When we got to the top we watched the storm that was coming go around us and not even touch us. it was beautiful. We met some guys from Hungary at the top and stopped for a snack. then we slowly slid our way back down the dangerous parts. Then we ran almost the rest of the way down just because we could. It was a beautiful hike and a lot of fun. I was so proud of myself, i didn't need to use my inhaler once :)

haha I pulled this prank off so well! We went and bought a huge roll of yellow caution tape and a small role of red Danger tape. it took us and hour and a half to cover the car. Im still waiting for his reaction on it. Now im just worried about what he will do to get me back.

The latest in the War

2008-02-28T20:16:00.003-07:00

Here is an update on our prank war. I haven't even had time to get Jake back yet for the toilet papering and all the stuff he did last time. But last night i was hit again. last night i came home to find all of our spoons in my bed. he had them under the fitted sheet just like he did with the coins but i took a picture of them on top so that you could see it a little better. Don't worry i have a plan that im putting into action tomorrow. i will post some pictures of how that turns out tomorrow. :) if you have any good prank ideas let me know.

Is it April Fools day already?

2008-02-22T10:27:00.002-07:00

I came home last night to discover our kitchen and living room covered in toilet paper. Then as i went into my room i noticed that my lamp was missing and that there was a trail of peanuts leading from my door to my bed. In my bed were peanuts. So when i got those out of my bed i layed down to go to sleep. The prankster had placed coins in between my mattress and my fitted sheet. I was too tired to rip apart my bed so i just slept on the coins last night. It was not my most comfortable nights sleep. This morning as i was getting ready for work i went to put on my shoes and discovered that all of my shoes are missing. except the ones i was wearing last night and a pair that i had in a different place in my room. My roommates woke up to a surprise this morning because they both went to bed pretty early last night. I think it was my friend Jake because he disappeared for a while and then came back acting like nothing was wrong. Don't worry. This is war and we will get this prankster back!

"Woody" Woodward, a 96 year old man who has been a registered member of the Boy Scouts of America for 85 years now, got married yesterday. Woody comes up to camp at least once every summer to visit and to make sure that the camp is still running smoothly. He is one of the favorite visitors of the summer. We were all sad last summer when he was too sick to come up and visit. He has inspired many scouters of all ages, with his stories and experiences. So Congratulations Woody!This is a picture taken from the Daily Harold of Woody and his Wife Doreen coming out of the Provo Temple.

what terrible timing

2008-02-21T14:10:00.002-07:00

Just my luck. The day before my math test i get sick. and of course this is the section that i haven't understood a thing that we have done. I didn't feel like studying at all yesterday because i felt so sick and i just couldn't stay awake. I slept for most of the day and just layed in bed a lot. So I took my test today and i did better than i thought i would. ( i hope) There were still some things that i had no idea what to do with them, but i feel ok. This will definately not be my best math tests ever. I have a theory test tomorrow that i need to study for a little bit today but that shouldn't be too bad. I just need the weekend to come now so that i can relax!

president's day weekend

2008-02-18T13:04:00.003-07:00

I got to come home for presidents day weekend. It was such a blast. Saturday night was the Maple Dell staff reunion up at maple dell. I was going to take pictures but i left the camera in the car. oops! but here is what camp kinda of looks like right now.
Isn't it beautiful? So we just socialized and played games. We all got interviewed for this next summer. I was the last one interviewed and by that time it was midnight.
Then on Sunday we had our family dinner. It was really nice to see all of my nieces and nephews last night. once again i forgot to get pictures. Jessi was being so cute. she would walk around doing the peace sign saying "peace". Today I have been able to sleep in and spend time with Melissa. I am just waiting for my ride to come pick me up now so that i can head back to Cedar. I hope everyone had a good 3 day weekend!

My weekend

2008-02-06T15:37:00.000-07:00

This last weekend,(i know it's a little late) I got to go to St. George with my sister Madeline and her kids Anna and Ben. Madeline had to go down for a music convention so i went down to babysit the kids. We stayed at the Courtyard Marriot. On Friday I took the kids swimming at the hotel. There was another family swimming at the same time and they asked me where i was from. I told them that i live in Cedar City and then the rest of the time their little boy who was probably about 3 kept saying "she is from Cedar City!" It was really funny. Later that afternoon I took the kids to the temple Visitor's Center, where they each got their own picture of Jesus. Then we went hiking around the rocks on the edge of town. We went through the crack. The kids loved it! Then on Saturday I took them to Fiesta Fun. We played Miniture Golf and the kids played on the soft play. We all had a lot of fun but by the end of the weekend we were all exhausted and i was happy to come back to the peace and quiet of my apartment.

fun insanity

yesterday/today was insane. after going to all of my classes yesterday and getting out of school at 9:00pm i went on a date with Rory. We went to Denny's for dinner and Jake and Alycia met us there. After the date Rory and I both had a lot of studying to do so we decided to study together. I have a test today that i need to study for a lot and he had a lot of math to do. We ended up studying until 4:20 this morning. By that time i had decided that sleep was not worth it since i had to wake up at 5:15 anyway for work. so i went home and showered and got ready for the day. i actually got to eat breakfast at home today instead of on the way to work. I am exhausted today but i would say it was worth it. we had a lot of fun and i feel prepared for my test now. well i guess thats all for now. peace!

Then Rory called and told us to come with him to get his backpack from his work and to walmart. we hung out for a while and then decided to actually go to bed at a decent hour. Then i got asked on a date for tomorrow night. im pretty excited. i will post how my date when probably on wednesday. it's bed time now.

simplifying my life

2008-01-28T10:27:00.000-07:00

Last night I went to the fireside. The institute choir sang at it. That was fun. The speaker spoke about how we need to simplify our lives in every way that we can. whether it is just with possessions or with thoughts or whatever. It makes me wonder what i could live without. I think i live pretty simply, but then I think about what few things i need to live up at camp. Sometimes i wish i could live at college with as few things as i do at camp. So this may be my new project, along with all of my other projects i have going on. I will start going through my things and getting rid of things i don't use or need. anyway, those are just my thoughts right now.

my first post

2008-01-26T15:39:00.000-07:00

well i decided to set up a blog so that i could share my adventures with others more easily. plus i love looking at others blogs, so i thought i might make one of my own for all of you to enjoy.
This week has been an interesting one. We didn't have school on Monday because it was Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I got stuck up in Orem because of the snow so i had to come back to Cedar City on Tuesday. I missed work on Tuesday and most of my classes. I missed a test, which my teacher was nice enough to let me take on Thursday. The rest of this week has been spent catching up on studying and trying to get back into the routine of school. Wednesday felt like monday to me all day, Thursday felt like Tuesday and then all of the sudden it was Friday! It felt like half of my week is missing.
Last night i watched the movie Rent for the first time. I liked it, even if i did fall asleep towards the end. I didn't fall asleep because it was boring, but because it was 1:30 in the morning. I will have to watch the ending again sometime when its not so late at night. well that has been my week. peace.
