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 ...

Valentines Day

 Valentines day is a very special day for us. Nine years ago we went on our first date. Nine years ago I was doing some not so good things with my life. I drank a lot, did drugs, and smoked cigarettes. Not the ideal thing for a Mormon girl to be doing. I did not have much support and just hung out with people who did the same things as me. I knew I wanted to changed and be better but I didn't know how. I prayed one night the Lord would send me someone who would help me with my drinking and smoking because I couldn't do it alone. One day in January I went to church,  at the singles ward, pretty hung over from the night before. But hey, at least I was at church! I remember seeing this boy from a distance and something struck me. You know love at first sight? Thats kind of what happened, except it wasn't exactly love; there was just something about him that I needed in my life. He saw me sitting alone in Sunday school and he asked to sit next to me. I looked around the empty...

Christmas

My friends think they know me or something.... Amy made a shirt that says "Trophy Receptionist" in GOLD, and Ginger gave me socks that said " You're Not The Boss of Me" It's like they think I act like a princess, but I don't ;). I was pretty excited for my socks and shirt My lady lumps make it hard to read my shirt!  Since it was the week before Christmas we really didn't have a lot of patients. Amy and I made one of our famous music videos, I am going to try to post it right here but don't know if it will work.  I went to Sam's Club with my sister one day and hung out with my super cute nephews. I want to squeeze and kiss them all the time! They are the most kissable boys ever! Well, So is Chris! The little one is just chillin like a gangsta.  With my Christmas bonus I bought myself an Alex and Ani bracelet. These are super popular in Rhode Island and they have a store in Salt Lake City too. They were start...
