Summer Recap

Now that summer is coming to an end and I haven't blogged all summer I figured I'd just give a quick summer update with everything that I have been doing.

I dropped the math class I was taking this summer semester after the second day. All of my other online classes have been easy learning for me, but when it came to math it was just too hard so I decided to drop it and take it on campus another time. That being said, I've had 7 weeks off from school to completely waste my time and his has been glorious! Lets dive in:

My Besties Lisa and Jenni and I met half way (since Jenni moved) and we road tripped to Jackpot, Nevada! We had the time of our lives. I can honestly say I haven't had that much fun in a long, long time. We ate a lot of yummy casino food, there was a dance club, and we just hopped all the casinos! We decided to end our night at about 1 am. When we got back up to our room at 1 in the morning we all looked at each other and said, "want to go back?" We clearly were not ready to end the night. We ended up going back to our room around 2:30 that morning.  The next morning I felt like I was hit by a bus and completely hung over, even though we don't drink I still felt as if I was super hung over. We spent the next day by the pool and just chilling out before we had to go our separate ways. This was one of the most fun girls trips I have ever had and I am so happy we went! I can't wait until we can go again!










I've had fun at Bunco with Amy and Ginger, being classy ladies of course. Also, still always having fun with them at the office. Speaking of work, Ginger turned the big 4-0 so Amy and I, like the good friends we are, decorated her desk fully equip with a wheelchair, cane, black balloons, prune juice, cataract pamphlets, and a walker. 










I've spent time about once a week with my sister Erin and my nephews at the pool. My sister and her husband also went away to Aruba for their anniversary and I had the pleasure of babysitting the boys. I only cried twice but I survived. My sister is a saint for handling a one year old AND a two year old. They sure are cute boys though! 







Chris and I have gone on some fun adventures. We went to our favorite band, Social Distortion in Utah and had so much fun! We also went to Swan Valley to check out Falls Creek and we wandered off to St. Anthony to some ponds. 










Chris, my sister and brother in law all went to a Brother's Osborne concert and it was so much fun! 



The total solar eclipse happened and Idaho Falls was in the path of totality. I will be honest when I say this, it was by far one of the most amazing experiences I have had in my life. It got cold, the stars came out, the temperature dropped and the moon completely covered the moon. You have not seen anything yet in your life until you have witnessed a total solar eclipse. The photos I took do not do justice to the beauty that I experienced so I'll post my picture then one I stole off Facebook that is just beautiful. 



I've had a lot of fun shooting this summer! My old friend that I knew from 10 years ago, Vanessa, moved to Idaho Falls so we have been doing lots of shooting together. She also happens to be an amazing photographer who has taken amazing shooting photos for me! I am a brand rep for a company called Shootessa, which is a website designed to be a one stop shop for females who love guns, hunting and the outdoors. She took some pictures of me to advertise on my Instagram and DAMN did she make me look good! I am totally obsessed with the pictures and how they came out. 





This was just a brief post to keep you guys updated. I clearly didn't go into much detail like I normally do because this is all over a 2 month period, but you get the gist of what I have been doing. School starts back on Monday, I'm excited for a new semester! I'll go back to a normal schedule as well and hopefully a normal blogging schedule.

Easter and Not Having Friends at Church

I had the privilege of teaching the Easter lesson this Sunday. I taught on the Savoir's last week on earth. I hid Easter eggs all over the room with scpritures on Christ inside them. The girls loved the Easter egg hunt because their parents say they are too old for egg hunts.  Sunday's are hard sometimes. I caught my self crying during sacrament today. well, because I have no friends. About a year ago our Ward was dissolved. I had a lot of friends at church, some who have become my best friends. My good friend Jenni who lives a block away and was really my only friend in the ward, moved across town yesterday. Another family I am friends with is moving as well. Church is the hardest place to make friends. I feel like because I don't have kids, and I'm not a newly wed, I don't fit in with any of the groups. The people my age have a million kids, and the couples without kids are kids themselves and just got married like last week, and no one has really wanted to be my

2016

I have sat and thought a lot about what I am going to say in this post. So much has happened this year, its been rough but it also has been a blessing. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right? I learned a lot this year. First of all the biggest thing I learned that I definitely paid for was listening to bad feelings. I learned what true friendship was, and saw the ones who cared and saw the ones who didn't. I learned about priorities and what really is important in life. I learned of death and that death is not the end. I learned patience. Maybe I didn't learn patience but I tolerated patience. I learned and always knew that no matter what happens in life that you and your spouse are all that matters. Lets start off with January. Chris was working at the juvenile detention center 45 minuets away from our house. This was a wonderful job opportunity that we both felt so good about. It started to become rough. He was gone all the time and we never saw each other. He

I like older men.

This weekend was Christopher's birthday!! My main man is 33 now, I'm still holding on to my mid twenties like my life is depending on it.  We went for a short get a way to the big city, Salt Lake City. Left the dogs with the grand parents and off we went. After I doused myself in essential oils I was calm enough to sit as a passenger in the car. I think I made my self too sick with anxiety and worry. Tears were shed for no reason in the middle of a resturant and hanging over the toilet Happened. It's either my anxiety or these fertility drugs I was taking. But I have my big girl panties on and can handle this!  The first thing we did was hit up Cripsy Cream. It's like heaven in your mouth. Lunch was at Roadizo Grill. We took our selves shopping and back to the hotel for rest.  The next morning we found a random Ward to attend to take the sacrament, stopped to take a look at the Brigham City Temple, and got back on the road. Like I said, this was a super fast trip.  When
