St. George

If I can, I like to take trips. One weekend, I took my sister and her two kids to St. George to play with my friend Megan. It was a lot of fun.

 The pool was a lot of fun. Greyson and Memphis can't swim...but that didn't stop them from jumping into the pool. It sure was fun.

 We went to dinner at the "Black Bear Diner". It was some good food. Memphis was being very 'proper' with her dinner. It was cute.

 We had to stop on the way to St. George at the gas station with the big chair. Here is Michelle and Memphis and Greyson.

We also went to a dinosaur museum. It was boring...but we went anyway.

Shelby's Cabin 2012

My friend Shelby has a pretty awesome cabin in the mountains.  Its a lot of fun up there. It's nice and secluded. Even though it is a cabin, it has all the things a house does, minus internet. One of our favorite things is riding 4-wheelers. This time was extra fun because this time Shelby and I had to share a 4-wheeler, it had just rained, and we went with a group of people.

 This is us before we left. Why are we so cool? Oh, its because we are wearing the same sweater, but mine is from Tennessee and Shelby's is from Minnesota. We are cool like that.

Usually we have our own 4-wheeler, but this time we needed to share. Well, a bug flew into Shelby's mouth so she turned around to spit it out. Don't worry...she spit on me. We laughed SO hard!

The people we went 4-wheeling with would stop like every five minutes...so we got bored.

Riding on the back of the 4-wheeler is relaxing, but lame.

One of the things we stopped to look at was a bear trap. I just didn't understand. It was just some sticks piled up. After making a comment about this 'bear trap', I was then made fun of the rest of the ride. Anyway, the explained to me how the trap worked. It still didn't make sense, but it caught a bear...so it apparently does work. 

There are a lot of loggers up there in the mountains. The draw pictures of naked people. 

I got a little muddy after:/

That is pretty much the extent of the trip. It was a lot of fun and I think the cabin is a perfect destination to get away.

Boys.....suck!

Ok, not all boys suck, but I seem to have some crazy experiences lately. So, here are some stories.

1. Alex, the boy from Minnesota, called me...twice in one night. It was kind of weird. Now, if you know me or anything, he was the first boy to break my heart.  I've had a rough time getting over him. Anyway, I am one of those people that deletes numbers...well, I deleted his number but then I decided that I wanted to talk to him...so I went through my phone bill and found his number. I sent him a simple text and he never responded. I just left his number in my phone. This was months ago. Well, the other night he called me.  Anyway, all I heard was loud music playing, so it didn't make sense. My thought was, 'maybe I will just listen for a while so the next day he will wonder if we talked'. (I had also assumed he had been drinking) Well, I hung up. I didn't really know what to do. Then, he called me again at 1:30 AM!  This time there was just clanking noise and after a minute or so, he hung up. I still don't know what happened. Oh well. I didn't call or text him back. It was just really random and weird. Who knows what will ever happen with him.

2. Andy (tattoo guy) forgot my birthday. What an ass. In fact, he is an ass. I learned in a class once that 'you' statements are bad...but I'm going to ignore that for now. So, if I were talking to him, I would say, "you need to make time for me. Once a week is not enough for me". "You need to ask me to do things, not just hint at them". "You need to text me more than LOL, its stupid". "You just need to 'shit or get off the pot'". I really like Andy, but I don't like taking second seat to softball. Maybe I will just end it. He is an ass...but I just like him. Ugh.

3. There are two guys I have been talking too that seem nice. One seems like he is looking for a relationship and everything. I guess time will tell on that one. Then, there is this other one. He is really fun to talk to, but he also is just looking for the hook-up. I guess its a good thing he lives far away.

4. AND....this guy kills me. The first thing he says to me is, "I want you". Anyway, we have talked back and forth for a little bit...and I think he is bi-polar. He asked me late at night if he could call me. I didn't respond because I was falling asleep. The next day I apologized for not answering and he told me he didn't want anything to do with me because I was playing 'games' with him. Hold on, What? Oh, don't worry...its been back and forth. So, last night he called me and we discussed meeting. I told him I would think about it...I guess he took that as playing a 'game' too. In fact, I'm going to type his texts in a different blog. I did start messing with him because I was SO annoyed with him. Ugh. He is NUTS! No wonder he is 35 and single. What a loser.

I just want to state that I am not a skank or anything. Just because I talk about all these guys doesn't mean I will ever meet them. I do want to get married and settle down...but that can only happen if I meet people...and that is what I am working on! Don't judge.

Happy Birthday To Me

This week I turned the dreaded 27!! I don't really think my dread has anything to do with being 27, but more for the fact that I haven't done anything with my life. I guess I have, but I don't feel like I am where I should be at my age. Hmmm...only that makes sense for me.  Anyway, my birthday was a birthday. I went to school, went to work, and then went home. I know, I'm super cool.  I did get some cool gifts though. I got a $30 gift card to the girl that does my hair. Chad and Jeni gave me an awesome picture from monster trucks, I got a cute bag and some shoes as well. It wasn't a bad birthday...but then again, I don't have too many expectations for birthdays because I don't like to celebrate them:/

Not a Nice Surprise

Brutus is not yet trained to not use the house as his bathroom. Its pretty annoying. He has learned also to hide under my bed when its bedtime so I can't put him in his crate. I'm usually too tired to fight him, so I decided just to let him sleep under my bed. To my surprise, he woke me up to let him go outside! I was so excited. This happened several nights in a row. So, the good news is that he is potty trained...but only in my room. If he is in the basement or any other part of the house...he just goes to the bathroom and its SUPER annoying. Anyway, when Brutus wakes me up in the middle of the night, we use the basement entrance. One night I opened the door and there was a HUGE SPIDER ON THE WALL. Now, I am not normally scared of spiders...but this one freaked me out! As I ran past it, I just hoped it didn't jump off the wall and eat me. I hurried and grabbed a shovel and killed it! 

I know this picture doesn't make the spider look that big, but its probably one of the biggest spiders I have ever seen. AND, it probably has brothers and sisters too...which is not a happy thought. So, now when I open the basement door...I am very cautious of the walls.

School has Started

        Well, fall is here. School has started and this means more blogging! I am currently sitting in a hallway at school waiting for my class to start. I didn't really get the schedule I wanted, but that is ok. I am taking three classes this semester.
                 My first class is business law...and my first day there I felt like El Woods from 'Legally Blonde'. People were throwing all sorts of words around that I had never heard before. This class may be challenging for me!  This class also starts at 7 AM! Yes, 7 AM! I am usually up early, but there are a few factors that go into making this time not a good time for me to take a class. The great thing is that I get AWESOME parking!  Front row baby! Anyway, on to the bad factors of a 7 AM class.
              1. I live in Herriman. I have to leave my house at 6:15 am...which means I wake up around 5         am so I can get ready.
              2. I now have a dog that I have to take care of as well. This adds to the stress in the morning.
              3.  Do you know what the people of Herriman are doing at 6 AM? Oh, I do. They are riding bikes and running! Who does that! I know...and I knwo because I almost hit a lady this morning! Its too dark outside...please wait for the sun to come up!
        My second class is called Business communication. I didn't really know what this class consisted of until the first day. This class is all about typing and emailing to businesses. Don't worry, we have to take spelling quizzes! Here I am, almost 27 and taking spelling quizzes, which of course I fail! Ha ha..fml. Ok, not fail, but I miss spell some words...but I guess we all do. I am looking forward to this class. I know it will be very helpful to me in the business world.
         Then, I have a break because I couldn't get in a ten o'clock class and so my next class starts at 11:30. This class is microeconomics. The teacher said the first day that this class was going to be ahrd. Ugh...stupid! Oh well, I had already bought the book and I didn't want to take an acct class, so I am going to stay. The class is large, the only downfall, is that most of the assignments are due online. I hated my English classes because all I did was read, but now I think I might want that again because now I have assignments due with letter grades. You cant really grade on reading. Oh well.
      My last class gets out at 12:45 and I don't have to be to work until two, so I get some down time...which I need after getting up super early.  Oh, and remember how I said parking was awesome in the morning...that's not the case for people that come later in the day. I almost caused an accident the other day while pulling out of the parking lot. And when I say I almost caused it...I mean the five cars fighting for my spot almost caused an accident! Now I know why most people are parked backwards when I get to school. Maybe I will start doing that. What I really would like to do though is ride the bus. I even bought a bus pass...but the bus leaves Draper at 5:41 AM and gets to the school way too early. Its not worth it for me to take the bus.
           Well, I'm excited to be back in school. I hope this semester is good and I don't want to kill myself!

Kids

Ok, so I guess I don't really want to blog...so I will just put up some pictures and tell little short stories about the pictures:)  Most of the next pictures of of the little kiddos.

Michelle and I took the kids out to eat. Well, Michelle started to take off Memphis's clothes and I thought it was weird. Well, good thing she is a good mom and she took of her daughter's shirt because Mem got food ALL OVER!

 

Anyone that knows Cody, they know he LOVES food!  Well, we were at the drive inn and he found my cup of Ketchup. Ha ha...what a little kid.
