Because people say I have to update this thing...

So I cut my hair! I like it, it's different for me, SHORT! The picture is from my phone, it's not great and it's blurry, but it's the best I can do for now... Sorry. Oh and I started excercising again. Happy day, since I've been paying for my gym membership and not using it for a while. I did the stairmaster yesterday and much to everyone's surprise, I did not fall off of it. Stairs and I have a long history of problems but I stayed on the thing for 20 min without tripping. It was kind of amazing. It's happened that I've fallen on treadmills in a gym full of people and this would've been worse than that.

I love having friends, even though I only have a few! Cody and I go over to Jeff and Chantiel's house to hang out with them every now and then. They are awesome. Thanks to Jeff, my car door clicker thingy works! I now have keyless entry... again... cause it used to work and then it didn't. And no, it wasn't the battery... I'm not so slow that I didn't try that first thing. Cause I did try that. (I know, wow she's not that slow I guess...) So I had a new clicker and Jeff made it work with my car. Woohoo! I also get to go see Chan every few weeks when we wax eachothers armpits and now legs. Cody and Jeff think it's weird that we do that together, but really? why? it's not weird. We don't like hair, we have a solution to get rid of it. We used to get brazilians together, it's not weird! It's awful convenient that Chan & Jeff moved, cause now they live by Lindsey! And that's nice cause she's also one of my very few friends I see in this state of Utah. I've seen her more now than I used to. It's great stuff, I can never not laugh when I see her! -Not cause she's funny looking or anything, but because she is funny.

Anyway, I get to go home in 2.5 weeks!!! I'm so excited. Cody is driving out to visit with me. And Heather and Adam are coming. So everyone will be there. We are having a baby shower for Heather while we're there so that will be fun. I'm so happy to be going home. I love it.

Boredom

Ok, so I wanted to update my blog! But I've done nothing since last time... and I have nothing interesting to say whatsoever! So this is my update, I'm pretty boring. I need a girls night! That makes me feel like I have a little bit of a life. Good times. Oh and I need to lose some weight and I can't find a way to do it. I am hoping to get married one day and want to look really good for that day! :) Any suggestions that work would be appreciated... not that anyone really reads this... Oh well. bye now.

More Home Visit

So I have some pictures off of the back deck at sunset. Pretty stuff. I don't have much more to say except I wish I didn't have to leave home! I think I get to go back in a few months when it's warmer. Woohoo!

May Home Visit

I'm at home in California. I love being here. The world is green and smells so fresh like pine trees and rain! especially since it's been raining... I've been here for 6 days and I have to go back to Utah in 3 days. That'll be a sad day. But I guess that's what I get for having moved to Utah in the first place. Cody came for a few days too. That was fun. He, my mom and I went gold panning for a few hours in the rain. I guess they panned, and I read a book. They didn't find anything good. We'll try again when it's warmer. I'll be back end of summer ready to get rich! when the water is tolerably warm.

and this is just another of the mountains

On Monday, my cousin's husband brought their kids over for dinner with the grandparents and I went in the hot tub with the kids. The oldest, Tommy, jumped in the pool, the very very cold pool. Then he went down the slide. So the next oldest decided he wanted to go down the slide, without telling me. So I had to jump in the pool, the very very cold pool, to help him to the side after he unexpectedly went down the slide, and couldn't swim... good times... very cold... So after that he didn't want to go in the pool anymore. But Tommy wanted to see me go down the slide. So since I was already cold, I decided to go before getting back in the hot tub. I went down the slide and back into the very very cold water. Then I get out and head back to the hot tub to warm my numb body. Tommy yells from the hot tub, I missed it! Do it again! Do it again! So reluctantly, I went back down the slide... Into the water that is so cold, you can't talk, because you can't really breathe!! Finally I headed back in to the hot tub and didn't get hypothermia. Happy day.


this is the pool that we were in, the hottub is about 10 feet above the pool

So that's home! I love it! I hope to get back to California sometime soon.

Movie Adventure

A week and a bit ago, Cody and I went to the movies. We watched Clash of the Titans in 3D. So about half way through the movie I had to use the bathroom. So I took off my (oh so attractive) 3D glasses. (And by oh so attractive, I mean really hideous) I put them in my purse and left. When I came back, I grabbed them out of my purse and put them back on. A few minutes later, I started noticing that the movie's 3D started sucking and it was kinda blurry sometimes. Weird! And then it was really dark in the theater sometimes too. I was super disappointed in the effects. Then after the movie, we "recycle" the 3D glasses in a big box they have. When we got back to my house, I pulled out my sunglasses. Lo and Behold, there were the 3D glasses... oh crap! I had watched the entire second half of the movie with my sunglasses... I'm such a retard! So where are my sunglasses, I can't find them... Holy Moly I recycled them in the movie theater bin! Oh lameness. That's kinda my train of thought during the realization process. It was a sad day. Luckily the sunglasses I lost were $5 Walmart glasses. So I went back to Walmart and bought another pair. That's what happens when you're me, you get to tell stories like this to your friends when they ask how your weekend was...

Ok so my blog is still brand new! I’ll get some pictures up and stuff when I have time, and when I feel like it. I can tell you a bit about me if you don’t know me, or haven’t talked to me in a while. I’m from California mostly; I went to High school there, and that’s where my parents live. Northern Cali, so no I don’t surf and lay on the beach all day when I’m home. I wish! I’m mostly a boat load of boring! I live in Utah but I’m trying to get out of here. It’s too cold for me. I have a couple friends I hang out with and a boyfriend. Everyone I know is married, most with kids, so I tend not to see or talk to them much. I hang out with Cody most days, like I have the last 3 years and 3 months. I don’t do much; eat, and watch TV & movies. Like I said, I’m boring- but I like it.

My family is great. I have an older sister, Heather, who’s married and pregnant! They live up in Albany, OR. It’s really nice up there. They’re trying to get my whole family to migrate that direction. Maybe one day… we’ll see. My younger sister graduated recently from BYU with a degree in Genetics and Biotechnology. Sounds important right? She’s in Germany for a few months at a lab doing genetics testing. My brother is the youngest of us and he’s in the middle of school up at BYU in freezing cold Idaho. From how he talks, he’ll probably get the same degree as my sister. He thinks it’s all interesting. And it is, if you can understand it… sometimes I can. They’re all awesome, really they are. My parents are great. Dad’s a doctor, OB/GYN, so you just don’t ask how work was unless you care for an explanation you wish you hadn’t gotten.  Love you dad! He Mountain bikes and races tiny Go-Karts at high speeds in his spare time. Mom is his business manager. She is on a tennis team that kicks butt and she likes to talk to her kids in her spare time. She’s a busy woman though. They’re really the coolest people.
