more to do

Well, I applied for a job at Varsity and within two days they put me to work cleaning a building at night. The good thing is, is that they also gave Blake the same job, so Blake and I clean a building together. It gets done faster and we get to spend time with each other, so it works out pretty nice. Our family pictures turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself, even with the kids being unhappy and the babies crying. Those pictures remind me of just how wonderful and fun my family is, and how much I love them. I guess we've all come along way from the childhood fights (Barb and I had many of those, and now we're best friends). Anyway, that's what's up in my life right now, just taking it easy until classes start in August. I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the college tunnel and I'm getting soooooo excited. Let's hope my advisor is correct in my classes and requirements, so that I can finally be done this spring! Just in time for Blake to start his college career.

Fun in Park City

This last weekend Blake and I went to Park City with my parents. They own a timeshare with Marriot, and got a condo for the week. It was a lot of fun just to get away and to do whatever you felt like doing for the moment. Blake and my dad went golfing with a friend of my dads(I wanted to go, but it was just the guys), and my mom and I went to the outlet mall to spend my mom's gift voucher that she got from there. After dinner we relaxed in a hot tub and it felt soooo good! The next day we walked around the hotel where we were staying and did the alpine slide and visited the chocolate factory (yum!). This chocolate factory even has chocolate dipped dog bones! Talk about spoiling your pet! Then we rode the bus into town and went to 'Prince Caspian'. It followed the book ok, and was a good movie. Then we went back to the condo and had dinner and played in the pool. On the way back home, Blake and I went and did a session at the Salt Lake Temple. It was the second time I'd been there, and I can say right now you can never get tired of seeing any Temple. They're all so beautiful. Anyway, that was a fun vacation and when we got back my car was all fixed and pretty! Now it's back to work and trying to earn money. I'm thinking of getting a cleaning job at night, so that I can have some extra money and have something more to do so I'm not such a hermit at night.

Family Fun

This last week has been crazy, but fun. All of my siblings were in town this last week and we played everyday (well, after Blake and I got off work anyway). The whole family doesn't get together a lot since Joni and Matt were in Des Moines ( they just moved to Casper, WY for Matt to start his rotations), Barb and Mike are in Boise, and soon Jeff and Kerry will be in Twin Falls (Jeff got a job at T.F.H.S. teaching biology). I love my family and my nieces and nephews, but it was sometimes very overwhelming to have the babies all crying at once and all the toddlers fighting with each other (yeah try taking a family photo with 2 three-year-olds, 1 two-year-old, 1 one-year-old, and 2 six-month olds!). I will be sure to post the photos of the fam when we get them. Anyway, the madness never ends and this week we will be leaving for Park City, UT to spend some time with my parents in a condo for a few days. Hopefully, my car is done by the time we leave...it's currently at Jade Auto Clinic because someone hit my car and then drove away leaving $2,200 damage to my poor car. I'm soooo grateful for insurance!

This last weekend was so much fun! My good friend Britni Warren had the wonderful idea of a get-together on Saturday. It was soooooo much fun to see all the girls that I went to high school with. Most of them had one or two kids with them (Mindy is currently working on her third!). We spent about five hours just talking and having a great time. I'm friends with most of them on facebook, but that's not the same as seeing them in person. It was great! Then Blake and I spent all Sunday with his family having a good time. I love weekends like these, they're what get you through the work week (not that my job is all that hard).
