The Many Adventures of You & Me: April 2009

Just wondering if life gets any better...

Life is GREAT! I really can't complain these days (minus the fact I HAVE to work but it's good most of the days and I actually like it 90% of the time). In 7 days I'm going to Peru with some AMAZING people to help save the world and enjoy a little Machu Pichu while there. I seriously am SO excited to go. I already wish we were staying longer but hopefully I will stay friends with most of them after we are done. How could you not want to be friends with these faces?

(yes I realize that man has no pants...I'm not sure why. I stole this pic off Matt's facebook, 3 people in this pic are going with us.....much to my dismay the man with no pants is not one of them)

The other love of my life at the current moment (sorry its not a boy...not one I'm admitting to yet) is Kellie Pickler. I LOVE LOVE LOVE her new songs. (Especially The Best Days, Rocks Instead of Rice, and Lucky Girl...Really they are all good but I rock out to these ones the most) Kellie and Taylor (another one of my favorites) are coming to UTAH!

Does anybody want to go with me? Tickets are pretty cheap ($50 for pretty good seats) Let me know because I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to go, but not all by my lonesome. It's on May 26th (Tuesday)

So the question of the day is.... Does life get any better?

I don't think so but...I'm pretty sure in 7 days it will! I guess if I won a few million and could do humanitarian trips ALL day/year/life long that would be better, not realistic but better.

For those of you who donated (THANK YOU AGAIN!) you can look forward to some GREAT pictures around the 22nd or so. For those stingy people who didn't...sorry I'm sticking to my word, your loss. You're missing out on beauties like the 2 pics above...classic.

The Countdown is on...

2 weeks from today I will be on a plane to Lima, Peru! I am SO excited. We had a fundraiser last night and it pumped me up more! The people I am going with are AWESOME and we are going to have a great time. All we did last night was laugh and make jokes. I am trying to have patience but it is really had...it's like waiting for Christmas (or the 4th of July in my mind). I can't wait! Hopefully I will meet a few cuties like this...

Thank you SO SO SO SO much to those of you who have donated. I truly appreciate your generosity and can't thank you enough (you can look forward to seeing those pictures though so hopefully that will help)

Easter 2009

I got to teach a "special" Relief Society Lesson, I decided to test out my iMovie program and this is the result. (FYI: the video is 20 mins long, but in my opinion it is excellent!) Oh and by special I mean not out of the manual, which is what I like...a little freedom!

Enjoy and Happy Easter!
