Uhhhhh.... stress?? What stress??

Who knew that life could possibly get this crazy? I sure didn't. Ok, so a little over a week ago I went to Bonney Lake, Washington to visit some of my relatives... which didn't really turn out how I expected it too. I don't really know what I was expecting though, so I guess it doesn't really even matter, but all in all it was good to visit and see them. Trying to get home though was really exhausting because my flight was delayed and once I got on the plane I got stuck sitting next to a screaming toddler, oh and there was a lot of turbulence (which scares the heck out of me!). At least I was able to read about ten chapters of Pride and Prejudice! Ya! I have seriously been trying to read this book for about 3 years, but I keep getting distracted! I'm gonna finish it! haha! SO.... anyways, I got home and was SUPER happy about it! And the next day was Carly's birthday so that was exciting, but I had to get up, go to work and do everything as I usually do, but I had some feeling that something was going to happen... and sure enough, I came home and saw that Car had been proposed to while I was at work! So, I was way happy to find out about that! oh, and her ring is gorgeous! (good job Logan! :) ) Oh! I forgot! My mom had pretty intense surgery too... so she wasn't feeling to good, but she's doing better now! Ok.... what do I have so far? Washington, Mom's surgery, Car's Birthday and engagement.... then we had Collin's birthday... oh ya... Kyle bought a car.... hmmmm. Oh... and I'm not going back to school this semester. brilliant! not. Oh well. So, ya.... I'm sure that there is plenty more. Kyle's birthday is coming up this weekend, but I'm not sure if he's even gonna be home for it, so we'll probably have a party for him on Monday. Bahh! Too much stuff! I know that you all think I'm insane, but it's ok! I don't care! That is how it's done! Ok... I gotta go, but I'll write more later! :)

That's what I thought!

So.... this blogging thing is harder to find time for than I thought it would be, but it's ok... I'm going to keep it up as much as I can! So, there has been a lot going on since I last wrote and that is probably why I haven't been as faithful to this as I thought I could be, but anyways my fam, friends and I have all been having a lot of fun! I have been to campfires, parties, lagoon, movies, the lake boating and a whole ton of other stuff! I finally feel like I am having a summer! Yay! Oh, and my sister Carly just got back yesterday from Hawaii! Man, I was just green with jealous rage! jk :) I want to go to Hawaii way bad though!!! That would be so sweet!! So, Carly totally loaded us up with tons of stuff ! She got us necklaces, shirts, locals flip flops, chocolate, and cute window stickers! She is so great! She seemed to have had a really good time! Well, I can't say that I have had as much fun as going to Hawaii, but it has been so much fun to spend time with friends and family! I love them all very much! Oh, and I saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince! I LOVED it!! They didn't stay 100% accurate with the book... and it kinda bugged me the first time I watched it, so, I decided to go see it again and it was sooooooooo much better! I've kinda thrown out the books when it comes to the movies now because it's almost impossible for them to film it word for word. Ugh, could you imagine watching a Harry Potter movie that was exactly like the book?! It would be 15 hours long!! Ew... no thanks! anyways... I really think it was the best movie out of all of them and now I am so excited for the last movies to come out! Wow, they are almost done with all the movies! Crazy!!! Well, I think I'm gonna peace.... I'll write to you later!

I'm tired...

So... today.... what did I do? I worked, then came home and slept! I wasn't going too... I was actually quite turned off by that idea, but I did and ended up sleeping for three hours. oops! Oh well...tonight turned out to be pretty fun! We ( as in Candice, Kyle and I) had a few friends come over and we watched the movie Knowing. Pretty sure I didn't get any of it.... probably because everyone was making fun of it the whole time.... (spoiler alert!) and by the time it was over, I felt so sad because everyone dies in the end. Oh, and it's about aliens. Right. Anyways, it turned out to be funny because my brother Kyle is the King of making depressing movies become ridiculous and halarious... so ya, for the rest of the night we quoted funny movies and shows! I loved it! It seems that those nights are the best! Well, I'm pretty tired, even though I did take a nap today... so, I'm going to bed! Goodnight!

Smile.... it's Sunday!

Don't you love when you have an oppurtunity to sleep in?! I know I do! I think all the stress and craziness that went on last week really wore out me and my family! I slept in until about 10:30 a.m. this morning and it was AMAZING! I was so grateful for it! Anyways, today was a really good day to think about things that are important to me. I pondered for quite a while about a lot of things and I wanted to prioritized some of the things that are an important part of my life.... so here is my top ten list.

1. Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ
2. My testimony
3. My family and the relationship I have with them
4. My friends
5. My education...(there is a long story involved with this one)
6. My health
7. My goals with work
8. Being happy and loving to those around me
9. Being kind towards all of God's creations
10. To find ways to serve others.


So, there you have it! These things are truly important to me and I hope that no matter what I will always keep my priorities in order! That seems to make my life easier when I am doing things the right way and focusing on what's most important! oh, and number 5... I will let you know about that one later when I am not so tired! Well, it's been real! Good night!

Independence Day!

So, it's the fourth of July.... yay. (notice how excited I am) No... don't get me wrong! I love everything about Independence day, but just today in general has definitely not been the best. Candice and I kinda got in a fight late last night, so that didn't put me in the best mood this morning. I tried to blow it off and make things better, but it just seems that when I am trying to let go of one thing, everything else in my day seems to get worse! I am not trying to be negative, but it is like one bad thing is followed by another and another until you are in a downward spiral of crap! I guess I just need to tough it out and it will get better eventually today, but just right now I am kinda irritated. I think I am kinda burned out from work and other things right now too. I think I need a break! Anyways, sorry for venting... I hope that tonight is great! All I want to do is chill outside on a blanket and watch some amazing fireworks!!! That sounds really good to me!!

Well, here I am!

Wow.... I seriously didn't think that I would ever even consider getting a blog... but I don't know... maybe I just felt that I could write a little bit easier on here than actually in my journal, which I haven't written in for months! I know, I know.... shocking. I'm probably going to regret that later in life, but its okay! I'll just add that on to my list of regrets and then move on! Cool beans. So, if this doesn't make any sense, it is because I am extremely tired, my right contact is completely fuzzy and glued to my iris and ya.... I can't really think of any more excuses. So, anyways! Today was actually pretty fun! well, it started slow, but built up into a pretty great day! I went to work this morning as usual and seriously wanted to find some form of entertainment while I was there, so luckily for me my boss's little boys were back behind the front desk with me and my co-worker/friend Aubrey and while we were there I decided to show them that I knew how to juggle! They thought it was the coolest thing they had ever seen and they were determined to figure out how to do it after I showed off to them! It was the cutest thing! Next thing I knew I was seeing raquetballs flying all around the front desk and in the lobby! I had a few close calls of getting lobbed right in the face too... but seriously I thought it was soooo much fun, and they seemed to be having a pretty good time too! So.... that turned out to be pretty cool, but of course I had to go back to reality and help patrons at the desk and I had this totally obnoxious lady yell at me over a stupid book she lost, so that kinda ruined my fun, but oh well.... I just wish that she could have seen me juggle; she probably wouldn't have gotten so angry and just maybe she would have laughed! Well, after work I went home and decided that I wanted to soak in some sun because the weather this whole week has been dark and rainy... so I changed into my swim suit and right before I was gonna go outside, the doorbell rang, so I quickly pulled on a jacket and opened the door to find many of my relatives standing outside the door! I remembered why they were coming over.... my big sister Kendall was going through the temple today! So, they came inside and made themselves at home and I got talking to my grandma and my aunts and it turned out to be a very good conversation. I love being able to spend time with family! They seem to know how to make me feel so much better about myself and the decisions I am making in my life... but anyways they left for the temple and I finally went outside to lay out. Ugh, that didn't last long. It was a lot hotter outside than I expected and my dogs were burning up too so I took the hose and soaked them with the cool water... They didn't like it at first, but they were definitely grateful after laying out in the sun again. Anyways.... (sorry this is so dragged out) I talked to Carly for a little while and then went to the swim meet with Logan. That was fun, but I felt really bad for a lot of the swimmers because this meet seemed to wear everyone out like crazy, but overall they seemed to do pretty well. After the meet Logan, Carly, and I went over to Wingers to find the rest of our extended family and some of our immediate family sitting at the longest table in the restaurant so we could eat some dang good food. That was fun. :) We then went home only to quickly leave again with Car's best friend Zach Anderson! So, it was me, Ken, Car, Log, and Zach....to go see Ice Age 3 at Jordan Commons theater... that was definitely memorable! Oh man, I haven't laughed so hard in the longest time! It was great! I love spending time with my sibs plus friends! We always end up talking about the funniest/stupidest crap! Well, now I am home...typing on my new blog. Sweet. I am tired. But, I have had a pretty great day, even though it was weird! Well, tomorrow's, I mean today is the fourth of July! Yay for Independance Day!! I hope I'll see some sweet fireworks! Well, I'm gonna go to bed now! Yay for sleep!! Good Night!! :D TTYL!
