I realize that it has been a while since I've last updated and for that, I apologize. I think at this point I update this blog just for myself, I enjoy going to back and looking on past posts to see what I was up to in months past. But for those of you who do come across this blog once in a blue moon, here's a little update for you.

I kind of have to laugh at myself because I have already moved home, but, for good reasons! I was out of the house for about 3ish months and it was AWESOME! In that short amount of time I learned a lot about myself and a lot about how much my parents do for me/my family. It's amazing how fast everything adds up (bills ect.) I learned a lot about working with a tight budget which, to be completely honest was exciting because I managed my money really well but sucked hardcore because I couldn't spend like I had been in the past. I moved out with my good good friend Jackie and couldn't have asked for a better roommate, we have always gotten along really well with each other. I miss hanging out with her every night. It was always my plan to get on my own for a few months and move home to go to school.

Its about time that I actually enroll in some classes and try out the college experience. I'm not sure what kind of school experience I'll get at SLCC but, we'll find out. I am currently signed up for 12 credit hours but am not sure if I'll drop just one class so I don't get overwhelmed for any reason for my first semester back to school in a couple of years. You have to EASE yourself into these things, ok?

Being back home has been nice, everyone always says that being home after you've moved out is the worst but, I've absolutely loved it, my family is awesome so, I pretty much still live with a bunch of friends, they're my roomies.

I was trying to think back on the year 2009 and think of major events that have happened, things of that nature and am having a really hard time.. I...


-Got a Job at the credit union

-Worked at chili's until about Mayish..

-Missed my chili's discount.

-Turned 19

-Almost died from the swine flu (seriously, got swine + the live virus vaccine = death)

-Had Cameron leave for school.

- and.... nothing else.

I can't believe it's going to be 2010.. I sound like an old lady. "Man the years just fly by..."

Jackie's room.

Love this pot.

Our coffee table, D.I. special. $10.00

Well there you have it, still have some things to put up on the walls but other then that I think we have everything we need. I'm loving being on my own and happy to be living with such an awesome roommate.

All moved out.

I am happy to announce that I have moved out of my little comfort zone and into the real world. Tonight will be my 4th night sleeping in my new, very white, bedroom. If it weren't for my friend Jackie and her new step dad, I wouldn't be moving out right now. You see, Her step dad owns a condo downtown SLC that has just been sitting there so, we convinced him that he should rent it out to us until it sales. We gave him about.. one day to think about everything and he gave us the answer. YES. We are getting a good good deal on a very nice condo in the exciting downtown area. We realize that it is possible that we wont be there for TOO long but, it's worth it even if it's for a couple of months, no one has bitten since he put it for sale anyways. Is it a bad thing if I don't want it to be sold?

I'm already feeling the stress of budgeting, groceries, bills ect. Trying to figure all of this stuff out has given me an ulcer. (not really) I definitely appreciate my parents now though, I realize how much work it is to, well, live.

I'm trying to think of things to eat, I don't know how to cook. This might be a problem.

Lazy Sunday

No I don't think I'm artistic. No I don't think I'm the most creative person ever. I just enjoyed taking these pictures.
Tomato's to football helmets to random pictures that I took of myself. I need a life.

To my talented hottie sister.

Happy Birthday Lady. You're awesome. I.Love.You

Vacation with the Leishman's

Ok so I might just be a little slow at this blogging thing but, better late then never. Our Oklahoma vacation with the friends was canceled due to some unfortunate weather out of Denver so, didn't end up going which, I was bummed but would rather stay home then sleep in an airport. I was excited to go with the Leishman's to their ranch though, that made up for the non Oklahoma trip.

This will be about the third time I've been up to the Tingey ranch and every time I go up there I never want to come home. Who wouldn't want amazing meals, no work, and being lazy/relaxed? We always have the greatest food up there, Jean (Cameron's mom) is an amazing cook and feeds us the best food. One night bbq pork ribs, the other fettuccine Alfredo, my request/favorite meal ever. Thanks to Jean for making me chub!

Cameron's dad also took up some of his guns so we could shoot them for something to do. I will say this, I'm terrible at shooting clay pigeons... Not my talent in life. I do like shooting the 22 though, that was fun.

We always have so much fun just lounging around and munchin. Cameron's mom got me hooked on cross stitching so I spent most of my time doing that, I'm such a grandma!

The last two years we went on a river trip down the snake river and its always so much fun. Half way down the river the raft pulls off and you walk up the mountain a little bit and they feed you a yummy steak dinner. It was awesome! The river was high and the rapids were crazy, I'm surprised I didn't fall out. At one point they let you jump out and swim so cam and I jumped in, the water was freezing!

Here are just some random photos.
-loss at the lottery
-cam's evil dog
-cross stitching

I have nothing to blog about... it's really frustrating me.

Next week I'm going on vacation, I'll fill your eye's with wonderful images very soon.
