I'm spending the weekend in Logan with Megan, Liz, Christine, Ray and Brittany!

It should be a blast!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTINE!!!!

The birthdays just keep a coming this week!! Today is CHRISTINE'S BIRTHDAY.... and she decided to come out to Utah for her birthday this year so we get to play with her this weekend, which totally makes me happy.

I freaking love Christine and she is the greatest sister. I especially love her because she let me crash at her pad for a few months after I finished school, for which I am very grateful. And she made me the most beautiful purse cake right before I moved to Utah. I don't know very many people who could just whip out a purse cake.

I hope you have the greatest birthday and I wish I was as talented as you that I could make you a purse cake for your birthday, but I'm afraid you're going to have to settle to a big smooch on the cheek when I see you in Logan!!!

It has finally returned

Tonight is the premier of GREY'S ANATOMY!!

I love love love this show and have been waiting since May for it to come back! I'm so excited!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAROLYN

Once when I was probably about 10 or 11, I wanted to wear make-up, but wasn't allowed to. I kept stealing my sister Carolyn's make up and then I would lie about it and say it wasn't hers. Then, one day, she caught me using it and she came up behind me and kicked me and called me "you little crap." This was the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

Today is Poopie's birthday and she is just the funnist girl and always has the best stories. She keeps me company while we are both bored at work, and she is going to let me stay at her house for both Thanksgiving and Christmas... so basically I love her a lot right now.

Once last summer, me and her randomly started climbing these fountains in downtown Denver.

Happy Birthday Carolyn.. I hope you have a great day!!!

We Love Ice Cream

Me and Megan and our fun new roommate Karyn have started eating ICE CREAM CONES all the time. They are so delicious. When we were eating them the other day, Megan goes...

ICE CREAM IS THE BEST ENDING TO EVERYDAY

I couldn't agree more! So last night we went and got some new flavors to make our cones with. This little habit can't last for too long or else I am going to blow up like a balloon. But boy they are good.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG BROTHER

This is a crazy week of birthdays in my family and it all gets started today with Michael.

Michael is the coolest big brother. I remember when I was younger I thought he was so funny cause he would lay on the floor and watch tv and make a pillow out of anything... like the bottom of my rocking horse, or he would turn a VHS on its side and put it under his head. Neither of those could have been comfortable. And he would also pay me quarters to scratch his back when I was younger, and he would pay me quarters to get him stuff out of the fridge (probably while he was laying on the floor watching tv with a video stuck under his neck.) I just thought he was the greatest.

I just love Mike and I'm so proud of him for going to fight the bad guys and I'm so glad that he married the coolest girl in the world Jill. And had the cutest kids on the planet. And I'm so glad that he said he wanted us all to get together this New Year's for the reunion and I can't to see him.

Michael, I hope you have a great day!!!!

Maggie and Liz's Day of Fun!!!!

On Saturday, me and Liz both didn't have plans, so we decided to hang out in Salt Lake. So I drove up there and we went to lunch at Olive Garden with a couple of her roommates. It was really good, and for whatever reason, we ended up staying there for like 3 hours. And I'm pretty sure I made our waiter mad and her probably spit in all of our food. But it was really good and really fun and I could eat their breadsticks everyday.

After Olive Garden, Me and Liz went to Gateway Mall in Salt Lake. Her sunglasses had broken so we both got new sunglasses at this place that had them on sale and then we looked like models in our new sunglasses. We also got ice cream at the Ben & Jerry's store. I decided I wanted Chunky Monkey in a waffle cone cause I love that flavor, and Liz just had to copy me cause it looked so good. They made the waffle cone while we were there so it was super fresh, but it melted our ice cream SUPER fast. Before you could get to the bottom, all of the ice cream had melted and made a jumbo-sized mess all over us. But it was so good!!!

Here's us with our new sunglasses and huge ice cream cones.

Later that night, after some more shopping and hanging out, I remembered this thing that Christine made for me once where you put pie filling inside giant won-ton wrappers and then fry them and make these little empanada desserts. They are so delicious. So we made them late that night before I went home. Liz had an apple one and I had a cherry one and they were just so delicious!!! Unfortunately, I ate so much junk that day that I am pretty sure I made myself sick. I'm not sure if it was worth it or not.

It was a long day and we packed a lot of stuff in it, but it was so much fun and I'm so glad that I went up to Salt Lake to change with Liz cause it was a blast!

Weekend Recap

This past Labor Day weekend was really fun. It was so nice to have a long weekend where I didn't have any trips or any big plans, but could just enjoy it and have fun. SO...

Saturday was busy... In the morning, I did some shopping for Matt's birthday package that Megan and I are sending him. Found him some good stuff I think. His card is really funny and goes as follows..

HAPPINESS IS LIKE PEEING IN YOUR PANTS,

EVERYONE CAN SEE IT,

BUT ONLY YOU CAN FEEL ITS WARMTH!!

IT'S YOUR BIRHTDAY,

LET YOUR HAPPINESS SHOW!

I thought it was really funny and perfect for Matt, so I was excited. Plus, the card is BRIGHT PINK and I know that Matthew loves pink.. so I thought it would fit him just right.

Then, Megan and I both got haircuts... mine got cut a little shorter than I would have liked, but its nice to have all the dead ends cut off so that my hair feels healthy again. That night, we went to Salt Lake and had dinner with Megan's friend Allison at TGI Friday's. After dinner, we went to Gateway mall and walked around for a while in the shops before seeing All About Steve. It wasn't at all what I was expecting from that movie, but it was super random and super funny.

On Labor Day Monday, we had a ward activity. It was real fun. We had a barbeque and then after played water kickball. It's just regular kickball, but all of the bases are kiddie pools and then you have to slide into home on a slip-n-slide. We didn't play, but we watched and cheered and it was super funny. All these 20-something year old guys just throwing themselves onto a slip-n-slide to avoid getting out. Really it was hilarious. I told Megan, I wished that our family reunion coming up was going to be during the summer because it would be really fun to play that with our family, but I guess we'll have to wait for the next one.

All in all, it was a really fun weekend, and it was SOOOO nice to have an extra day off of work. But alas, I had to come back and resume bringing home the bacon.

PS... for those of you who have heard me complain about the girl at my work.. Well Thursday turned out being her last day. My boss told me that she only was on the payroll for 11 days, she was gone for 4 of those and only on time twice. So they let her go last week and my boss was going to interview people yesterday and hopefully have someone start today. Hopefully whoever this new girl is will be better than the previous chick. Wish me luck while I'm training today, I don't love doing that!!!

Visit from Alisa

So my friend Alisa that I lived with my freshman year just moved to West Jordan with her husband Jason. We have been trying to get together for a while now and were finally able to see each other last night. It was so fun.

She came down to Provo and we just talked and chatted for a while and went to Cafe Rio for dinner. It was so nice to just catch up with her and chat and laugh. I haven't seen in her in about 2 years or so, so it was so good to see her. After dinner we went back to my apartment and played Racko for a while before she had to head home. It was just a short little visit, but so fun!!
