Bowling!
I think I finally did it!!!
I think I finally figured out my life (at least up until September 2009). I know, I know... after 23 years of just dinkin' around I now officially know (if all goes as planned) what 2009 will bring! I am so excited!!! The new adventures, the traveling, the excitement.... it's all going to be so good! I have been stressing over new jobs, random certifications, schooling, when to apply, where to find the time to shadow, and now my newest stress.... how to prepare for a Relief Society lesson every month. But thanks to a lot of thought, some restless nights, and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (I know what a weird movie to give an epiphany but it really got the ball rolling) I figured it all out and now I can't wait! Stay tuned... 2009 is coming fast. Maybe if you're lucky I'll put a few hints here and there to clue you into the big plans!!
On another exciting side note I filled up my car for $20.05 (it stopped at $19.97 but I had to make it even and missed the 20 mark. Yeah for cheap gas!!!)
SORRY FOR THE LACK OF PICTURES
I thought this was pretty funny.... I will answer them for myself, if you want the original answers please click here.These are his first date questions. I usually ask questions like what is your favorite texture? How are you at bowling? How do you feel about...? You know random stuff like that, just to make things funny and see how they react. Oh first dates.... gotta love em.
Do you like soccer?
I'm not very good at it. I played on a intermurral team my first year of college and was ALWAYS the goalie. I was the only girl willing to sacrafice my body to keep the ball out of the goal. oh and I LOVE soccer players, dated 2 of them in high school!
Do you have any pets?
Used to, sad story. Thanks for brining it up.
Which character is sexier Indiana Jones or James Bond?
This is a good question which James Bond are you referring to?
Which do you like better, Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park?
I LOVE the Simpsons, don't really watch the other 2
What is your favorite season?
Summer because of boating, hiking, anything outdoors, warm mornings, sun, sand , surf... oh and my BIRTHDAY!!
Fall because of the color changes and the perfect crisp mornings with great warm afternoons and lovely evenings.
Winter because of skiing, snow, snow shoeing, hot chocolate, fires, SNOW, SNOW, SNOW!!
I have no feelings of love or hate for Spring it is just kind of there. I like it because it prepares me for Summer and it is a nice break from Winter. To tell you the truth I love them all, thats why I continue to reside in this lovely state.
What is something embarrassing that has happened to you?
Lots of stuff, I know that answer is boring but I really can't think of a specific thing, I usually get embarrassed for 5 seconds before I burst out in laughter.
Hot dog or Hamburger?
I've never really been a fan of hamburgers, so I guess by default I take a hot dog.
What male celebrity do you find most attractive?
Do I have to pick one? I love Kirby from Lipstick Jungle, Nate and Dan from Gossip Girl, Any of the men on greys, Dr. House ( I love him and his show)..... this list goes on...
Do you start your car and run back in or sit and shiver while it warms up?
I am a sit and shiver type. I am all ready when I go to my car, there is no turning back and going inside. Plus it is VERY easy to steal a car when the keys are in it and its already started. I don't know about you but I don't want to start my day off walking out to find my driveway empty.
What is a question I would never ask you and what is the answer?
You can ask any question you want. The answer may be I plea the 5th, a sarcastic, or if you're lucky it will be the truth.

The Pride and Joy of Utah
(and something that holds a special place in my heart)
I love the University of Utah!! I love being a graduate from there, I love the games, I love the campus, I love working there (somedays), I love the color red, I love the athletic staff, I love it all! I consider myself VERY lucky to be on the field at the home games and interact with the fun people who work there. Even though it takes up a considerable amount of time (when I should be doing homework or working on my applications) I love helping out at the games. It is crazy busy sometimes, boring sometimes, but lots of fun all of the time. I was just thinking about how much I will miss it. I would be willing to help out every year, but I am hoping to get into PA school (outside of Utah, since I am not applying to the U) next year which will take me away from a place I truly love. Utah is the best place ever: lakes, mountains, snow, the U, and everything else. I can't believe I didn't want to move up here. What was I thinking? Anyways just thought I would give a shout out to my UTES who are currently doing great! (lets hope we will keep it up as we face some of our harder competition) If you are ever at the games I am one of the ones running around giving away free stuff, or hanging out in the SW corner of the field enjoying the game. Does life get any better? GO UTES!!
Oh and on another exciting note, Aunt Panties (thats me) has another bundle of joy to add to her collection (a sad collection of 1 that is) Katie Elizabeth was born on September 18th. I haven't met her (and probably won't until her blessing) but from the pictures I've see she is pretty cute! Congrats Jason, Holly, and Emri!

A cry for help....
As you can see form the lack of posts in the last little bit I really don't have the time to do the things in life I want to do. I go to work, school, home to do homework, work on PA applications, intern at the football games (this is the only thing I get to do that I truly love) I also shadow a PA here and there and am working on not going insane. I wish there were more hours in a day so I could get an adequate amount of sleep each night and have a few minutes each day to relax. I know everybody reading this probably thinks "I'm just as busy as she is, what is she complaining about?" Well it just makes me feel better. The reason for all of this is to try to guilt somebody into changing my blog. My free trial of photoshop ran out and I haven't had the time (or the funds, I can't bring myself to spend that much money on something other then gas) to change my nice "summery" layout to something more suited for the fall/ Utah football season. Anyways if anybody feels slightly sorry for me and wants to take some time to make my blog fit the season, please let me know. I'm not looking for anything fancy just different. Hope all is well, I'm off to Albania to pick up my brother in 3 weeks, so hopefully there will be a great post after that. In the mean time I will also be working on applications, trying to figure out life, trying not to die, fitting in sleep here and there, and trying to enjoy life, so maybe somewhere in there something eventful will happen and my blog will become more active and interesting..... If not hang in there and wait for the Albania post and then the BYU/UTAH game after that. Maybe I'll just quit everything and move here....
Survey says.....I need to travel more.
I only got to level 8 which means I don't know the world as well as I should. Time to quit and go traveling! My other record is being only 4 km away from a place!

I'm going to be a big sister!
No my mother is not pregnant (that would be weird) I got accepted to the Big Brothers Big Sisters program! They are currently trying to find my "little" and once they do we will be all set to hang out! I am so excited. If you have a few extra hours a month you should think about becoming a Big brother or sister. In the Salt Lake valley there are about 160ish kids waiting to be matched. You only have to commit to a hour or two 2-3 times per month. How can you pass up the opportunity to act like a kid again? I will keep you updated as soon as I find out who my little is!
Happy Birthday to Me!!
August 1: I went to work, and got the coolest present from Bridget... a color wonder coloring book. I love to color so I was really excited. After work I went to Costa Vida with Kim and then off to Dreyers Ice Cream Headquaters for the Utah vs. BYU ice cream kick off. Then it was time to sit in hours of traffic while heading up to Ogden to go indoor skydiving! It was a blast and my instructor was really good looking. Off to the cabin to go boating for a few hours and eat some delicious homemade pizza (a birthday staple). It was a wonderful birthday spent with Logan, Brittany, Justin, mom and dad.
August 2: The fun isn't over yet! We got up early to get in some good water, came home to eat breakfast and enjoy some fun conversation and back out we went to try wake surfing (which is a blast) Afterwards Dean, Billie, Lisa, and Reed stopped by the cabin and we had a nice little family bonding. I had to race back to Murray to get ready for a BBQ with some friends, which turned into watching X-games in the pool house and talking about indoor skydiving and wake surfing. Oh well it was fun anyways! It was a fun day, but I have to say from August 1 at 12:30 pm to August 2 at 5:30pm were the greatest moments of the birthday weekend. (besides seeing some people out of the work setting in my backyard. Thanks for coming Amber and Jared!)
August 3: To end the fabulous weekend of birthday fun I went to church and colored in my new gift! I also had a family party with Logan, the Snow's and my parents. Just the normal family tradition of hiding present and hanging out. Brooklyn and Ellie helped me find all of my gifts and got a piece of candy for their hard work. We had a few sword fights, ate some Baskins Robbins mint chocolate chip ice cream cake (Ellie had 2 pieces and 2 mini ice cream cones), sat and talked about random stuff (how can you not with Dave around), and ended the night watching B and E fight over whose turn it was and tried to show each other up with their incrediable somer salts, hand stands and kart wheels. It was a great birthday and I think 23 is going to be a good year!
I have pretty funny video of every part of the weekend but I am too lazy to post it, so just use your imagination and the provided pictures!
Finally Some Summer Fun!
After months of working my tail off and going to school, I finally got to have a semi-relaxing weekend. Saturday I went up with Brittany, Kade, Zak, and Ian and got a few runs in on the water. I haven't had time to go on the boat for a few years and it felt great to be back out on the water. I had a few hard crashes and a few jumps. I'm feeling good about the rest of the summer. I'm definitely making sure I make some time to go up and get on the water. We also had a few good Rock band moments and way too much fun.
Kade was so proud of the knot he tied (from his 5 years in the Navy, ha ha) He had to pose by it.
Ian rocked it out, and Brittany got up her first time!
how do people come up with this?
In my ongoing quest to figure out how the world works, and how some things come to be, I have found yet another crazy invention that will boggle my mind and make me question things even more. I have no idea how successful it will be, but I think it is quite creative. I think it looks hilarious and reminds me of a few scenes from some movies (i.e A Christmas Story) I personally don't think that I would like it cause I actually like sleeping inside a sleeping bag and not in a big puffy suit. However I can't knock it until I try it.
To comment or not to comment, that is the question
So I was talking to my friend Amber the other day about how much we love to blog/facebook stalk people (private blogs do not make this fun) It was quite the conversation as she was currently stalking someone. Funny thing is that was not the first time, or person I have had the "stalking" conversation with. I decided to go on another stalking spree (if you will) during some precious free time (or as I like to call it refusing to do what I should and wasting time) I found a whole slew of peeps that I used to know (it was like Christmas) and I knew it was time well spent. (I love it when I can add people to my secret google reader list) I started looking at Amber's friends and came across a blog that had some great advice about the appropriate time to comment on a blog you choose to frequent. John says " 5 out of 10 times is the proper ratio" for every 10 new posts you view you should comment on 5 of those posts. Now he does have a point since I do love getting comments on my amazingly funny, creative, and informative posts... however isn't the point of stalking not to let people know you are doing it? I am debating on this, if you read this and I don't know you read this feel free to comment because I actually am curious how many randoms (as in people not on my link list) out there read my blog. Let me know you thoughts. If you feel like following John's advice and you have viewed my last 10 posts I better see some comments.... However I don't go back to the way old ones and read the comments so feel free to count this as number 1 and start fresh.
Refrences:
Amber Mann, 07 JUL 2008 Salt Lake City, UT
John Maxim, 07 JUL 2008 I have no idea where he is
Thanks for letting me use your thoughts and comments!
You know how I can't post without adding a picture no matter how random it may be. The one above has nothing to do with commenting, it was in the wonderful M-town Ghetto 4th of July Parade. "Last Ryde" is the company being promoted... interesting. Here is something you can comment about (look how easy I make it for you, I'm such a nice blogger) Do you think somebody is really in there taking their last ride? FYI: When I die you know I want my last ride to be in the Murray 4th of July Parade, how cool would that be! I have to remember to put that in my will, when I get one. Now get to commenting!
