My Weekend (sorry, no pictures!)

So, this past weekend I went camping with Dan and some of our friends. We went over to Causey Dam (which I had never been to before) and canoed our way in. It was just me and Dan in the canoe and the others hiked their way in. It was really fun to be in the canoe considering I haven't been in one since the 4th grade. I wasn't very good at rowing but Dan didn't make fun of me too bad. I could actually move the canoe by myself by the end of the trip! So we got to the campsite and set up all the tents and everything. We lit a fire and then just talked for a while. I thought we were going to stay up really late, but we all went to sleep pretty early that night. It was nice, except for the fact that I was EXTREMELY cold all night. Everyone else seemed to be fine, but I was freezing. The next morning everyone wanted to go home. They all started their hike out but Dan and I wanted to play in the water for a bit longer so we stayed behind. We had fun in the water but I got a little sunburned!

After a few hours we left to go back to Ogden. We had to take the canoe back to Dan's parent's house. They recently got a pool and his brother and sisters were playing in it. I walked over to feel the water and the next thing I know, I am drowning in it! (Yes, everyone... Dan threw me in!) Luckily I had my swimming suit underneath my clothes still so it wasn't too bad. I just wasn't expecting it so inhaled alot of water. So.... we played in the pool for a while and then we left. I was so excited to go home and take a hot shower, although there was some unpleasant coloring showing up in the shampoo foam...... (Causey water isn't the cleanest!)

That night I went with Dan to his brother's Posse competition (barrel racing, etc....). It was soooo HOT there but it was alot of fun to watch all the events. Dan's brother did really well and his group took 2nd place overall! I really like being around the horses even though they scare me a little bit.

Sunday, after church, there was the annual fireworks show at Weber State. I went with Dan to that and I met some of his friends from high school. We played games until the fireworks started. It was fun getting to know new people. Then the fireworks began. I thought it was a pretty good presentation. Their grand finale was pretty impressive.

So that was my weekend. Sorry I don't have any pictures! Maybe next time.

So, I am going to get my hair done on Saturday. I saw this picture a few years ago and fell in love with the color. I just want to know what you all think of this color for me. Let me know!!

It's been a while!

So, it has been a while since I have posted anything. It has been a crazy month! I don't have the internet at my house anymore so it's hard for me to do anything online.This post is to catch you all up on my life.
I started a new job at Bank of Utah in the call center. I really like it! It is nice to work somewhere where the people calling actually want to talk to you instead of working in the Collections Dept, where people avoided your phone calls. I have been her for about 2 weeks and I am really starting to get the hang of things. Also, it's nice working here because I already knew some of my co-workers from high school. It is a really fun environment.
Most of you know that I recently moved to a different house in Ogden. With that I also moved into a new student ward. I think I am really going to like this ward. I have already made so many friends. AND, they have already given me a calling in the ward. The second week I was in the ward they decided to put me into the Welcoming Commitee. I thought that was funny because I was knew myself, and here they were asking me to welcome new members to the ward. I also have the job of handing out programs before sacrament meeting. But, I like this calling. The other people in the group are really nice.
I got in a car accident at the end of April. I guess it wasn't THAT bad, but to me it was horrible. It was my very first accident! I was at Weber State, trying to make a right turn on to Harrison and I got rear-ended by this HUGE full-size suburban. I had over$2,000.00 worth of damage to my car and barley got my car back last week from the shop. It was a mess!! I learned a good lesson though, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS get insurance info and call the cops when you get into an accident. I didn't, because I panicked, and I would have been in a lot of trouble if the guy who hit me wanted to be a jerk!
Anyway, Life is good. I really can't complain right now. I guess that's all that matters.

Feet!

!!!!! Alright ladies, it's that time of year once again!!! And based on this email that someone passed along to me I think we need to be reminded of a few things. So my sisters, PLEASE, raise your big toes and repeat after me below....

The Open Toed Shoe PledgeAs a member of the Cute Girl Sisterhood, I pledge to follow the Ruleswhen wear sandals and other open-toe shoes:

I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang overand touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sidesand tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps.

I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free. I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe. I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow.

I will shave the hairs off my big toe.

I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker,mother or sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there.

If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back intoplace hoping it will stay p ut. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it.

I will not live in corn denial; rather I will lean on my good friend Dr. Scholl's if my feet need him.

I will resist the urge to buy jelly shoes at Payless for the low, low price of $4.99 even if my feet are small enough to fit into the kids' sizes. Thisis out of concern for my safety, and the safety of others. No one can walk properly when standing in a pool of sweat and I would hate to take someone downwith me as I fall and break my ankle.

I will take my toe ring off toward the end of the day if my toes swelland begin to look like Vienna sausages.

I will be brutally honest with my girlfriend/sister/coworker when sheasks me i f her feet are too ugly to wear sandals. Someone has to tell her thather toes are as long as my fingers and no sandal makes creepy feet lookgood.

I will promise if I wear flip flops that I will ensure that they actually flipand flop, making the correct noise while walking and I will swear NOTto slide or drag my feet while wearing them.

I will promise to go my local nail salon at least once per season and have a real pedicure (they are about $20 and worth EVERY penny).

I will promise to throw away any white/off-white sandals that show signsof wear... nothing is tackier than dirty white sandals.

Don't keep this to yourself - pass it on to other sisters.

Troubles in Tipping Land

So, yesterday my sister in law, Stephanie, and I went to dinner together as Sizzlers. It wasn't long before I realized that I didn't have any cash on my for a tip, and neither did Stephanie. I got that sick feeling in my stomach, which really didn't help the fact that I was about to eat my weight in yummy chicken wings. Anyway, I remembered that I had been given a gift certificate for Dominoes Pizza earlier that day. Having no other choice, we left the gift certificate as a tip with a note that said "Sorry, we had no cash on hand!" It was pretty embarrassing, but if you think about it, who doesn't like pizza?? Needless to say, I am going to make sure that I always carry some cash on hand for moments like those!

Nothing I hate more!!!!

Let me just make it known, that there is nothing I hate more than waking up on a cold morning... or even on a warm summer morning for that matter... and having to take a cold shower because all the hot water magically disappeared. This morning's shower was 8 minutes of pure torture! Enough Said.
