crazy week

This week has been quite the week. Since I haven't had a job for about a month and I wasn't doing anything but sitting home all day doing nothing I couldn't pass up the opportunity to go down to St.George with Tawsha and Justin. It was kind of a last minute trip, but I sure did enjoy it. Being able to spend time with my mom was great! I miss just being able to go home and having her there to talk to and such. It was also nice to be able to have all the food I could eat as well as the super good home cooked meals my mom prepared! Me living on my own now it is not often that I actaully get a good home cooked meal. I definitely miss those meals. Having no job results in having no money. So I was ready to go to work at Old town and Country, the place I worked at before I moved to orem, so I could earn a little bit of money to last me a little while.
I even had a great time spending time with the litle sisters we had fun.
On monday after I returned to Orem one of my friends called me asking me if I would like to have an interview for a job. I was so excited to have an interview for a job. I went in for the interview and it went reall well. Nick then called me Monday night letting now when I was going to start. I was so happy I finally got a job. That just ment I didn't have to spend my days sitting around home all day, and I would be making money.
Wednesday was my frist day of work at Customform Coutnertops as a receptionist. I am not going to lie I was little nervous to start but it all went well. So far I like it...the pays not bad and my hours are pretty good.
I also started school this week. I am taking one class but it sure is a tough one. I am so nervous for this semester. If I don't slack off I should be just fine. I am determined to get an A in this class. It is going to be hard work but it will feel nice when I get it done.

Summer Adventures




It sure has been a fun filled summer and I hate to see be over so soon! I have had a lot of adventures. It started out with our family vacation to the beach house in San Diego. I enjoyed that very much. Spending a week with the WHOLE family. Even though the weather was not very good we still managed to ge a little sun, go to six flags and just enjoy each others company. We also got creative and tried to see how many people we could get into the big giant bath tubs that the beach house has...that was a fun time!

I had the opportunity to go skydiving. I had been wanting to go skydiving for so long and I can fianlly say I have done it. It was super scary at first and I even wanted to back down and not do it, but as soon as I jumped out of that plane I was so glad I didn't back down. I wish it was not so expensive or else I would do it again for sure.

I have been down to St.George a few times to spend time with Kim and her family before they moved to Indiana....sad day I am going to miss them very much! I also attending the Hannig family reunion. As well as went down to vegas with my little sisters. We went shopping(I didn't buy anything because I am just a poor college student), hung out, and just had fun together.

Last weekend a few of us went to Flaming Gorge for a camping/water rafting trip. Kara, Tina and me built our own tent all by ourselves. We were quite proud of it. The trip was pretty fun even though it was raining and our tent was not water proof!

I am going to lake Powell on Friday and I can't even wait. I have been waiting for a Lake Powell trip all summer and it is actually happening. When I get back I will have to tell all about it!

Move #2


Well it has been 3 months since I have moved up to Orem....wow how time flies. I finally get to move into my permanent apartment!! It is so much nicer than the one I have beem living in and it actually has a washer and dryer. However I have never done my own laundry before. Guess I will just have to learn, or bribe kara into doing it for me. Did I mention that kara and I get bunkbeds? Yes that is right bunkbeds...it is going to be so much fun haha! However we built them ourselves and they are abnormally high bunkbeds. Kara and I both fear for our lives. Kara fears because they might collapse and squish her to death, and I fear because I am on the top and i might fall off....mind you it is like a twenty foot drop it seems like. It is also alot cleaner. I sure hope my roomamtes are not messy. I know it is kind of hard to believe but I enjoy cleaning my apartment and keeping it clean. When iI lived at home you would never hear me say that, nor did I clean or even like it. My mom always did that for me, so I had it easy. I can't stand messy roommates. These past three months have been horrible. I have had to live with one of the most disgusting girls ever. Boy am I glad to get away from her.
