Thank you UTA

I am now an offical rider of the UTA Bus system...Today was my first day and it was quite an experience...But it is all worth it. No dishing out 80 dollars for a parking pass which wouldn't be a very good parking either, not having to stress about finding a parking place, not having to pay for gas and not having to walk far. I do have to say it was very exciting. But I found a bus friend that showed me how to use the bus...thanks bus friend! Oh first day of school went well, I saw three richfield people...wahoo! My classes seem like they are going to be fun..hopefully marketing will, I'm still a little worried about that. But I think marketing and interior design go along with each other so that will be good. I think I am going to persue marketing, but we will see once this class gets under way. So wish me luck for this school year and hopefully I can make something out of myself!

First Day of School!

Yup tomorrow is my first day of school. I haven't been in school for a year and tomorrow I'm going. I am even going to ride the bus to school...I think that is what I am most nervous for. I got my bus schedule that I need to be on and today I went and got my student ID and bus pass. I am excited though to meet new people. Hopefully with the 3 hours I have to spare in between my morning class and afternoon classes I'll be able to meet new people and get some homework done so i can relax after school. I am taking intro to marketing, and two interior design classes. I am super excited about the interior design classes and maybe I can find out if they have a major for it. Well wish me luck for my first day of school!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my dad's birthday. I found this picture of them from when they were first married. I think it was their engagement picture, but I think its cute. Anyways I love my dad very much and I am proud of what he has accomplished in his life. I know he is supportive in all I do and that he will always be there for me. I love his sense of humor...I am sitting upstairs and he is having scouts downstairs. While they were doing the scout oath at the end of it they say, a scout is........and at the end they say and is annoying. I am thankful that I can have the parents I have.
Anyways today we just got done with dinner. Before jake, mom and me tried to sing the happy birthday song, but we tried three different times and just got past the happy birthday part. We are not very in tune and don't sing
very well. But its ok hopefully he liked it. I love ya dad and am thankful for what you give me, even though most of the time you don't know what your giving me...ha ha but what can I say I love to shop! Love you tons, and happy birthday :)

August Excitement

I have about 2 min to get this post done before I have to go get ready for work. Only 4 more days that I have to work and I will be officially unemployed! I am moving to Provo on sunday and still haven't found a job. But I have some money save so hopefully that will be enough for my needs for a while. However, I am going to be tending my new NEPHEW. Yes I am finally posting about him. Well I just barely got a decent picture of me with him so I can post. His name is Paxton and he is so cute. I get to see him every monday and friday...well and maybe sunday if they want to fix me sunday dinner. But I'm exicited. My cousin got married this month. I love weddings, because we get to be with a lot of family and we get to have fun. Her wedding was outside in their backyard and It was so cute. I had really fun as kitchen duty with some of my aunts. It was a good time, we gossiped, laughed and ate lots of mini fruite pizza's.

Since I have been home I have done lots of projects. I have redid my bathroom, made quilts, made pursus, and my latest is....I redid a chair. It has been sitting on our front porch forever and I really like the chair. So last week I went with my friend to provo and we stopped at my favorite fabric store Gracie Lous. I found this cute fabric and recovered it. It turned out pretty cute I'll just see if it can withstand my using it as my desk chair.

Anyways thats all thats been going on, my little sister moved to her first year of college this last weekend and I'm moving this weekend. I don't know what my parents are going to do with just jake at home. I bet my mom will go crazy and will be coming up north to "visit" a lot!

Family Vacation

For our family vacation this year we went to MONTANA! Since Jamie was still in town her and her kids came with us. It has been a blast and I love it up here, too bad its so far away. I love being in the mountains without actually camping. It was a long long drive up here and we had to double up on seats. We had 9 people to an 8 peson car, it wouldn't have been so bad if we didn't have car seats. After half way the three of us, Jerika, me, and Jake switched jamie for the back and it was a much better ride from there. We started out and stopped in Ogden to sleepover at Grandma's.
We went to Yellowstone for a day which was pretty exciting. I really wanted to see a bear, but didn't see one. All we saw were buffalo and elk. Pretty boring, but on our way home my sister saw a bear, but I didn't see it.....However today I was walking misi down to see the lake to see how much the paddle boast were. When we were walking back I noticed people stopping, I didn't think anything was going on and started up to our condo. Suddenly a black bear ran about 25 feet in front of me....It was so scary and I didn't know how I was going to defend Misi and me, since I was so exausted from pushing him around. Don't worry the bear didn't come near us, but I did get to see a bear and it was a pretty close encounter with one. Anyways we went to see Old
Faithful. Thankfully we didn't have to sit too long, just long enough for Ami to cry that he didn't want to be 4 anymore, because he wanted to sit in the stroller and to take picutres. This is us doing silly pictures waiting for Old Faithful to explode. This is us again getting a picture of Old Faithful. It was pretty exciting, probably the most exciting thing of the day. It wasn't a very exciting day with driving around all day.
Other things we have done on our trip is we went swimming, went to Bozeman and went shopping (because how can we go somewhere and not go shopping), explored around Big Sky, went to a real hick county fair, and went.....Paddleboating....This is us with our life jackets waiting to get on the paddleboats.

And this is the winning team, we had races with Jerika, Jamie and O and we won every one. Except the last one, but we bumped them along, so we really won. It has been a fun trip and I am glad Jamie and her kids have came, because if they weren't here it would have been pretty boring with only Jerika, Jake and my Parents to keep me company. Hopefully we can all sleep all the drive home tomorrow in the car while my dad drives.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while....i really have been just too lazy to do anything, or maybe too busy playing with my niece and nephews. Well whats been going on in my life... the last week in June my mom and I hopped a plane over to Texas to help drive my sister and her kids back to utah. I was the longest drive, but good thing there was a DVD player in the car and 3 of us that could drive. However, we had to watch the same couple of movies over and over becasue they are the kids favorites...anything to keep them from not crying. Well we made it to Blanding in time for the family reunion. After that we headed home, so happy to be home from the week being away...I love my bed. Next exciting thing is we went to the 4th of july parade...ok it wasn't very exciting, it was hot and for half of the time I had to help the kids get candy. Then we went and walked around the park, which was so crammed full of people we could hardly get by. After that the next week I headed up to Provo to figure out my life. I got an apartment and got registered for school, now I just need to find a job. It feels so good to finally know what I am going to do with my life....now i just have to prepare my self mentally to go back to school. Sorry I don't have any pictures...I was going to get them from Jerikas facebook but the only ones she has in there from the reunion is of her. Next post I'll be sure to put some on.

I NEED HELP!!!!

My sister has been harping me that i need to go back to school. I don't like school that much, but she said that I won't meet any people by not going to school. Anyway I really want to move to Cedar and she says in order to meet people I should go back to school. The only problem is I don't know what to go to school for. My top pick is Interior Design, but I don't know what I would do with that, maybe I can become the next Candice Olson, for the U.S., I would love that! Or my second choice is Business Management, becuase eventually someday I want to own a fabric store, or a scrapbook store, or a craft store, or maybe even a little botique, maybe all rolled into one. However, my other sister said that wouldn't really help me to have a business degree in order to have a store. I am so confused and I don't know what to do. But another problem is that is if I find a Dental Assisting job i won't be able to go to school. I already have a degree for that and I would really like to do that, but it is a slim chance that i'll find a job in that becuase i really haven't actually worked in an office I only job shadowed. The problem with that is if i do go to school i probably need to figure it out soon so I can apply for it. But i don't want to find a job until i am closer to moving, so i can be here for all the stuff thats going on in my house. I am so confused with my life right now and I have no idea what I want to do with my life. I really need some advice. Any Adive?
