It's Your Party and You Can Cry If You Want To.


This would be my little brother Nick. He turns 16 today. Happy Birthday pickle! I love you and hope that you have the best birthday ever! The time has sure flown by from when you were born and I really didn't like you for stealing my spot light. But I guess you have grown on me. And grown you have. This kid was about 5' 9" when I left for school. He was 13. Three years later he is 6' 4". It is really quite ridiculous. Even more ridiculous is that his pant size is a 32 W 30 L. That's right folks, his legs are only 2 1/2 feet long. We are both blessed cursed with extremely long torsos. Don't envy us. Here are some fun pictures to celebrate the kids birthday.







The boy has certainly grown up over the years. We have had a lot of fun together. It's hard being away from him, but makes the time that we do get to spend together even better. Since he is 16 now, he can drive, so watch out!!

Until next time!

This place will be the death of me

I hate work. The end. Well I really wish that it were the end of work, but I still have a couple more hours. It's rather boring here. I literally just sit here and wait until a trek comes and then I fill out a ticket and then weigh them in by pressing a couple of buttons. And then once all the trucks have come I have to do a little bit of cleaning. It's not much cleaning so I don't mind it. But I can hardly wait until this summer is over just so I will be done with work for a little while. It will be a welcomed change. However, you just wait until about November and I will be crying about school the same way I am about work.

This weekend I travelled down to Provo all by my lonesome. It was a long drive, mainly because I have never driven that far by myself. But I survived it and made it there and back safely. it was a lot of fun to just hang out with Mayra and Logan. On Saturday, we just talked and went for a walk. It was so nice down there. But deathly hot. I hardly know if I could survive a summer down there without air conditioning. Thankfully our apartment will have central air. It was interesting to see Mayra and Logan as a married couple and how they have changed. It also gave me a slight taste of what it will be like to live with Sam by ourselves. Their apartment was super cute. You can see them in the style of it, if you know them well enough. It was nice to just get to look at it all and get some ideas for my apartment. The best part though was for some girl conversation. I have been deprived all summer. But I finally got to chat away to my hearts content. I love Sam and everything but certainly does not fill the womanly void. And I can't really talk about him to him. Being with them also really made me realize just how glad I am that I married Sam and not anyone else. He is such a blessing in my life.

On Sunday, Mayra and Logan don't have church until 2pm. Which is pretty crazy. So we just lounged around and ate food until then. Their ward has babies EVERYWHERE!!! It was so crazy. I can totally understand how a couple without children can feel like the black sheep and then get baby hungry. Part of me wants my ward to have babies so I can hold them, but then part of me doesn't want any because then I will want a baby. After church we watched a movie and talked some more and went on another walk. Mayra and I also played this card game called Quiddler. it was a lot of fun. In face it was so much fun, that I made Sam take me to the store so we could buy it, but sadly they didn't have it where we went. On Monday, Mayra and I ran some errands and went shopping. Also we met our good friend, Bobbie, for lunch. It was really nice to see her and catch up. I hadn't seen her since my wedding. Around 3:45 I left to make the trek back to Idaho. I would periodically take pictures and send them to Sam to see if he knew where I was. He thought I was almost 2 hours away when really I was 40 minutes. So I surprised him by getting home early. Unfortunately we didn't have the greatest night. I am not sure why but we just bickered with each other about really stupid things. We both got a little mean. That was probably the worst fight we have had. But things are great now. I just love him.

On Saturday before I left, I received flowers for my birthday from my dad. I thought that was really sweet of him to find a flower shop out here that would deliver me flowers for my birthday. That was the first time I hadn't been with all my family for my birthday, but it was pretty enjoyable. We did end up going on the horse ride with his parents. For the first 30 minutes I was petrified. But then I saw how badly Sam's dad's horse was behaving and I realized my horse was doing amazing. It was about a 10 mile ride. So my butt hurt so badly at the end.

Today is my sister's birthday. She turned 23. I ordered her a web cam from overstock.com. It will basically benefit me just as much as her. I can hardly wait for her to get it so we can video chat. It will be nice to see her face and talk to her at the same time. Fortunately both Sam and my computer have a built in web cam. Also I found out that if my computer takes a turn for the worse, I have a 15% discount to Dell through my work. That is a pretty good deal, just for working here.

Only like three weeks until we get to move into our apartment!!! I am so excited!!!

Until next time!
