Trip preparations..

I just want you all to know that I do still read the blogs, I just haven't had time to write on my own. Lame excuse, but I've put in a lot of playing time lately. I feel as though I deserve it for going to 6 consecutive semesters of college... Anyway, today I am getting ready to leave with Bethy Boo tomorrow morning. Here's our plan:

Wednesday
-Leave at 9:45 am
-Stop by the mall in IF for shorts and tank tops
-Drive to Logan
-Eat lunch with Brittney and Lonny
-Get ready for Isaac's rehearsal dinner
-Drive to Salt Lake
-Help Share-Bear set everything up
-EAT! SOCIALIZE!
-Sleep in Salt Lake

Thursday
-Isaac's wedding (me and Britt are going too)
-Look around for an apartment if I have time
-Reception?
-EAT! EAT SOME MORE!
-Sleep in Salt Lake

Friday
-Awaken early
-Drive to airport
-Depart at 9:50 am
-Arrive in Vegas at 10:10 am
-See Sydney!
-Wait patiently for Meagan and Kayla to come
-Party like it's 1999

Sound good? Can't wait to see you girls. I can't believe it's already here! I've been working on my tan, so I hope I don't get too burned. I was telling Brittney that I may have to be pushed around in a wheelchair so I don't faint from the heat. I may also have to be fanned with giant palm leaves at all times. Hope you guys are cool with that... Love you!

BOX OF FUN.

Today I got a surprise in the mail! It was a graduation package from my good friends Ty and Jess. I was so excited to open it, but was confused as how do to so since it was completely covered in green duct tape! When I finally figured it out, this is what I found:

- 1 Powell's Books shirt (PURPLE!)
- 1 pack of CAT playing cards
- 1 box of 32 Crayons
- 1 rape whistle
- 1 tiny spool of thread
- 1 Donald Duck Disneyland pin
- 1 Kung Foo Panda magnet
- 1 travel Battleship game
- 1 sparkly Hannah Montana puzzle
- 4 Transformers Band Aids
- 1 pack of stickers
- 5 37 cent stamps
- 1 pack of fruit snacks (which I already ate)
- 4 #2 pencils
- 2 dice
- 1 gray paint swatch
- 1 clothes pin
- 25 random facts about Rainn Wilson
- 1 Biore nose strip
- 1 original drawing of "Sandy Bee-Atch" the Drag Queen
- 1 "Reading is Sexy" bumper sticker
- 2 Goosebumps books: Say Cheese and Die! and The Cuckoo Clock of Doom
- 5 CDs: Music of Russia, John Denver Collection, Amy Grant Christmas, Smallville Soundtrack, and a creepy one that's supposed to help you fall asleep.
- 20 red pepper packets
- 24 parmesan cheese packets
- a card with $1 and a dime (for tithing) inside

As I pulled each item out of the box, I continued to laugh harder and harder. It was HILARIOUS! Some of the things they sent have some kind of inside joke attached to it, but most of it is just random. This is the front of the card:

Somehow, they seem to have captured the exact thought that is running through my head at this very moment. AMAZING!

And the inside:

It's always nice to have a little reminder to pay my tithing...

Anyway, just thought you guys would enjoy that. Miss you tons!

14 days!

Job Search

Wanna know what stresses me out? Let me list them off for you:

1. Deciding what I want to do for the rest of my life
2. Looking for a job that I qualify for
3. Putting together a portfolio
4. Finding a place to live
5. Making my car payment
6. Living out of a suitcase
7. Not having a computer cord (yep, still don't have one)

So I spent the day job searching. woohoo. I actually found a lot of jobs that I am interested in that are located in the Salt Lake area, but now I have to put together personalized portfolios for each one. That'll be exciting. Hopefully it will pay off. I'm feeling positively about it. Portfolio day begins tomorrow! Yay!

Catch Up!

So it's been a few days since I've written... ooops... My excuse is that I was in Preston having the best weekend EVER! Me and Beth headed down to the ranch on Thursday afternoon and got there around dinner time. We went star-gazing in the back yard and hung out with her parents that night. The next day we got to see Brittney, Lonny and their new little puppy! It was so fun to have half of the gang back together. We went to a parade, ate at Big J's, went horseback riding and had rodeo burgers too. It was awesome. On Saturday morning we went for a hike and drank water right from the mountain and rock climbed in Beth's barn. Next, me and Beth showered for the first time in three days (don't judge) and went to the sidewalk sale in Preston, went to another parade, and finally got to go to the Famous Preston Night Rodeo! It was so fun. We all dressed up in our cowboy/ cowgirl get up. We looked pretty sweet! You all should check out the pictures the Brittney uploaded to Facebook! We played "My Team/Your Team" and I got some pretty hot guys on my team! Beth's was the best though. He was this drunk guy with a long braid down his back. He ended up getting kicked out by the police, sneaking back in and then getting kicked out again. It was hilarious! I wish we could have gotten a photo with him. Since Kayla couldn't make it to the rodeo, she requested that we get her the rodeo queen's autograph. We succeeded. She looked like Malibu Barbie in her yellow Wranglers and cowgirl boots and pink shirt. This is word-for-word what she wrote to Kayla, "Sorry you couldn't come! Dream big!" It couldn't have been more perfect. What a fun weekend! Miss you girls! 17 more days!
