Sorry, no pictures.

Well, I haven't been taking pictures lately, but I figured I should update my blog since it's been a while. School has begun and I'm already swamped. Accounting 202 is kicking my butt already. I've been seeing a tutor once a week and doing all my homework, and I'm still not doing great. Hopefully it will improve soon. Pete and I are still dating and I'm living with 3 girls that I had never met before this semester, but things are okay in the apartment. I feel kind of lonely sometimes though cause I don't have any really close friends in the apartment, and Pete works all the time, but other than that, things are okay. I'm on a softball and ultimate frisbee team this semester, and I'm having fun with that so far. Anyway... I hope all is well with everyone else. See ya later!

Vegas/California/Utah Vacation!

Pete and I landed in Vegas at about 4:45 on Tuesday the 28th of August. My parents picked us up there and we went to the hotel...this is it. We walked down the strip for a little while, and realized that Vegas is a nasty town. There was porn everywhere! We couldn't handle it anymore so we decided to go to California a day early.

Here we are in Hollywood.

My uncle John took us four-wheeling one morning... it was pretty fun. This is dad and I on the four-wheelers.

Then they took us the beach. It was beautiful! The water was a lot colder than I thought it was going to be though. But we boogie-boarded and it was a ton of fun!

This is my dad's sister Nikki and her husband John when we went out to dinner.

Then we drove back to Utah and went to the annual Fail Family Reunion. This is pete and I at the little Rodeo they planned. It was fun.


Pete and I again with cheesy smiles :)

We played the Great Dalmuti...it was a lot of fun.

Dylan and I just playing around...he's such a cute kid!

Trip to Utah

So we went down to utah for one of Pete's old companions wedding reception.

We wanted to go hiking and drove up by Sundance, but we couldn't find the trail because of all the construction :( So we turned around, and drove home. Lame.


We ate lunch with a couple of my old roommates at an Indian Restaurant in Provo. It was delicious.

Apparently he got bored on the way home while I was driving.

Why I blog...

Well, the reason I started blogging was because I figured my dad would enjoy seeing pictures of me since he wasn't around to see or talk to me about what I'd been doing. He's coming home soon, but I think I will continue blogging. Its a lot of fun to post pictures of the fun events of my life. I really enjoy looking at other peoples blogs and seeing pictures of what they've been doing so I figure they might enjoy seeing pictures of me. Now...I nominate Dad, Jen, and Emily

The Boyfriend

Okay so I just recently started dating this boy. His name is Pete Benson. He's from Orem and has 10 brothers and sisters. WOW! I kind of like him a little :) I'm coming down to utah this week, and I happened to mention to my mom that he's coming down at the end of the time I'm down there. She got all jealous that Aunt Molly was going to meet him before she got a chance to. She told me that I better send her a picture before Aunt Molly got to meet him. So I told him that my mom wanted a picture and we took a bunch tonight. We're not very photogenic but there ya go! I love you mom!

Schools OUT for Summer!!!

Hurray! This semester has finally come to an end. It seems like it took FOR-EV-ER, but then again, it seems like it went by super fast! These new shorter semesters are a killer. I feel like the teachers aren't used to them, so they start out normally, then near the end of the semester, they just throw everything in and hope you get finished before the semesters over. But man, I am SO glad its over.
So I have to have a C- in Accounting 201 to go on to any of the following business classes...and this class has seriously killed me! So I really thought I wasn't going to pass. So I didn't finish my last accounting homework because I was just going to retake the class, but I received an email from my teacher today. He said "I calculated your grade and you have a D+ right now, but I don't have your Chapter 11 homework yet, so if you can do that, and email it to me, I will move your grade up to a C-. This was music to my ears! (or eyes, cause I was reading it.) I was SOOO happy that I could get that homework done and turn it in so that I don't have to retake the class. The only problem was that I hadn't done the homework yet, so I spend the whole afternoon doing it and finally got it in at about 4:50. They stop doing book buyback at 5 o'clock so I rushed up to the Manwaring Center to sell my accounting book back, and they had already closed!! So I walked up and asked if they could return my book, and the lady that was working was super nice and let me sell it back. 92 dollars later, I was a happy girl. To end this short story, schools out, I'm going to Utah for 2 weeks, and I'm very happy for it to all come to an end.
