The warehouse!
I offically have the best job ever...don't get me wrong it is not what I do but who I work with! I work in a flashlight warehouse. Mostly what I do is engrave the flashlights with logos and such. Well on Monday my boss Todd and I decided to build this amazing house out of 580 empty boxes!
Once we were through with the house we jumped into an awesome pile of boxes made from opening box after box of flashlights! It was tons of fun! Lynzi decided to record all the fun!
A Girl's day Out!
So Saturday Lynzi and I decided we wanted a day free from the pressures of Provo:)
Lynzi came and picked me up around 1ish and we headed up to cascade springs in Provo canyon! It was a twisted winding road that seemed to take a lot longer heading up it than back down. But we enjoyed every minute of it! Cascade Springs is the beautiful low waterfall and they built a wooden pathway through it! Lynzi and I just moseyed our way through with a stop here or there to take pictures or sit and talk! It was a very enjoyable day! By the end we had both worked up a large appetite so Lynzi treated me to dunch/linner at The Old Spaghetti Factory! Then we went shopping at the mall and got Lynzi a cute new shirt for her date the following
Oh and while Lynzi was in the restroom I took the liberty of playing with her camera...I figured she would be the type who would appreciate a good laugh!!
Trip to Washington!
Ok so I just decided to hit the highlights of my trip because it is taking me too long to write it all. Ok so Kari and I had tons of fun just being dorks on our way up to Washington! We sang to Disney, N'Synk, and other random fun music! We got to Washington Friday morning, took showers, and went to Seattle! I LOVE Seattle!! It is beautiful! We ate lunch down by the ocean, went up in the Space needle, and went to Pike's Place Market! .....k so on the way back to Adna I began to get a Migraine so I drank a pepsi and took 2 Migraine Excedrin....can you say caffeine high?.....I never have caffeine in my system...I was all shaky and fun stuff....haha it was pretty crazy!
Saturday I crashed on the couch! That was awesome!! Garrett gave me a tour of Adna, Chehalis, and Centralia! I absolutely loved Centralia! It is this little town stuck in the twenties! That night we had Kari's farewell party! It was lots of fun...even though I only knew Garrett and Kari!
Sunday we went to Church and took Kari to the Airport..:( I miss that girl like crazy!!
Monday we went to the Beach! I want to live by the ocean in Washington so badly!!! I think I was in heaven when I was at the beach! I flew kites. Garrett and I made two Sand castles!.....only one survived. Garrett and i also made up our own version of golf! haha it was tons of fun! We played in the waves...just up to our knees. I loved it!
Tuesday I just chilled and ran errands with Garrett. We played cards with his parents and went to bed early.
Wednesday Garrett and I left at about 5:30am! We drove strait through! We had lots of fun being stupid. Garrett went off for about 45 minutes about how much he hated Utah once we crossed the Idaho, Utah boarder. You see he got cut off 4 times right over the boarder...it was pretty pathetic!
All in all I had a wonderful time!

Back from Washington!
Hello everyone!
So I am back from Washington! I had a wonderful time!! I was really worried with having only 2 1/2 weeks of break before school started again that I would be burnt out but I feel quit rested! I am excited for my roommates to move in! Life is pretty boring without them! I really like my new apartment. It is a slight step up from my last one! haha but it is definitely still the Villa! I miss Kari dreadfully!! But I am really happy because she is having tons of fun in Florida! So I am going to break my trip to Washington up into individual days so I don't have one ginormous post!

DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy cow!! So today has been crazy awesome!! I took both of my finals in about 5 hours! Then I took a nap!! Yay for naps!! Then I went back on campus to take care of some paper work and rewarded myself with a BYU Hoodie and some other items I was in need such as tank tops and jazz! Then Kari, Krysten, and I had our final movie night!! Well with Kari....Krysten and I will continue and Kari will join us once again in the winter! We watched the live action version of Peter Pan....I would highly suggest it! It has just the right mix of Chick flick, action, scary, and funny!! I really enjoyed it! We also ordered Pizza and had crazy awesome cookies! It was fun! At the end of the movie I realized I was supposed to be Visiting Teaching so I ran back to my partner's apartment and we went visiting teaching! Then I took the truck to Josh and Christie and sad goodbye to them! Man am I going to miss them...even though I will only be gone for a week! Then Kari, Krysten, and Anthony helped me move my belongings to my new apartment! It is now 2:15am and I just got done with most of my cleaning for my check out tomorrow! I still have to vacuum and wash the oven racks but that is it!!! I am super duper excited because tomorrow I will be heading to Washington! I can't believe it is already here!! The only downside to today was I lost my chap stick.....I am the biggest chap stick addict ever!! Hopefully I will find it before we leave tomorrow.....if not.......I will have to buy a new one....
YAY for being done!!!

School............blaaa
I am supper duper excited because I only have one week left of classes!! I can't believe it has already been two months! My parents always told me growing up to just be patient because time would travel faster as I got older......well guess what.....they were right! I haven't decided if I like it faster or slower....I guess I will just take whatever I get! The way I see it is life is what you make of it. Yes there will be hard times yes there will be great times but we really have the choice within us as to whether or not we are happy. I am so thankful for wonderful parents who taught me this through example. My theory is just enjoy life, love all you can, draw closer to Christ, have some good stories to tell, and be true to the real you!

Oh what fun!
So this weekend has been awesome!! Friday night Kari, Krysten, and I had a girl's night out! And yes we did actually go out! We got all dressed up and went to Color Me Mine! Color Me Mine is a pottery place where you paint your one pottery and they fire and glaze it! We had so much fun! The hardest part of the whole experience is trying to decide which thing to paint. It probably took us around 30 minutes just to decide. We each ended up doing a mug and a bowl. Next comes the decision of what colors and what designs to do. I have such a hard time with this because I love colors so much and would love to use them all.....but that would just end up nasty! Once we got settled in and started painting a group of 12 year old girls sat at the table just behind us. I believe this was one of the most entertaining portions of the night. We listened to these young girls talk about their boy problems, how many people they knew, and how mature they were! I loved it!
We we got done at color Me Mine we returned to my apartment and discovered we were all very hungry! Kari, Krysten, and I have a very hard time making decisions so we have resorted to a sort of not it game to make one person make the decision. We put our fingers on our noses and whoever is left has to make the decision! haha it is so much fun! we finally decided on Pizza! So we went to Smiths and got pizzas but now we had to decide on what to have for dessert! haha we spent 15 min in front of the ice cream trying to decide on what we wanted. We ended up with sherbet! Then we came back to my apartment and started watching Elizabeth Town and ate our pizza and sherbet! But we only got a little ways through the movie when we all started falling asleep. We thus decided to continue the movie on Thursday for our Thursday movie day! haha Good times, good times!
Yesterday I went to Ceder City for their Shakespearean festival! It was great fun! I had never seen any of Shakespeare's plays. Kari and I road there with her Shakespeare class on a bus. We watched "Two Gentlemen of Verona". It is one of Shakespeare's earlier works and a comedy! I liked it a lot. The only problem was there were a couple of jokes that were somewhat dirty. I didn't like that. But the tip as a whole was very fun! Someday when I am married and have children of my own I want to expose them to cultural things like Shakespeare!
