Swaying Away the Night to Tim McGraw

Friday Night was our Tim McGraw/Lady Antebellum Concert!!!!!!!!!! It's funny.. I kept forgetting that this was happening. Even that day I would randomly remember that we were going to the concert and get all excited all over again. We left Friday right after work and headed up there. Me, Megan and Natalie.. and then we picked up Mary who was already in Salt Lake. Most of the drive was not that bad and we didn't really hit any traffic on the way to Salt Lake. Until...

We got off 215 to head down some road I don't know that lead to the middle of nowhere where the concert was.. and there was HORRIBLE traffic. It was all headed to the concert and it took us 2 and a half hours to go not very far at all. We thought that Lady A was starting at 8 and we didn't get there until after 7:30. As we were talking toward the concert, we could hear that they had already started and we were all just so sad. Then, the line to get our tickets out of will call was ridiculously long.. and we heard them finish the show while we were waiting in line. It really was so upsetting.

Luckily, we got into the concert while they were getting the stage ready for Tim so we didn't miss any of his show. He really was so good. I was actually surprised I knew as many songs as I did.. I didn't think I was an avid Tim McGraw listener... but I knew more than I thought I did. There were a couple that I had never heard before, but for the most part, I felt like I knew a lot of them. It was a ton of fun and I'm SOOOO glad that I got to go with the girls before I head to Texas.

Workin Buddies

So Megan has started at Prudential!!! Her first day was Wednesday and personally, it really has been SO nice to have her there. It will make my last two weeks left so much more fun. Anyways, shes really just doing SO great and I'm such a proud little auntie.

You know a woman wants her cowboy like he wants his rodeo

Saturday was the Fiesta Days Rodeo in Spanish Fork. I was SO MUCH FUN. Megan and I went to a rodeo earlier this Spring, but this one was funner to me. It reminded me more of the little Texas rodeos we went to when I was a kid. Plus we had some rocking awesome second row seats. And my southern accent visited for a moment or two at times and I loved that and it makes me hope that it will come back more often when I get to Texas. I loved the rodeo with the 4M's from Texas. We represented the Lone Star State Well!!

So Michelle doesn't like Rodeos cause she says its mean to the animals. So right as I'm telling her that the cows are just having fun and playing with their cowboy friends... one little calf gets swung back a little hard during the steer wrestling. So they brought out the "Animal Ambulance" and these cowboys carried the calf into the truck and took the little calf away to get healed. Dear calf: Please get better and come play again. You served the Rodeo-Goers well.

Gettin a little wet

First off... a little business..... I would like to give a HUGE thank you to the Pioneers for doing the hard work and letting us celebrate and take the day off work Friday. Many Thanks!!!

Second.. On Friday.. Me, Megan, Mary and Michelle attended the

Worlds Largest Water Balloon Fight

at BYU. They gave us free t-shirts, free water balloons and a TON of fun.

I'm not gonna lie... It did kind of hurt when they pegged you in the head.. I took one to the temple right at the beginning and I swear I blacked out for a couple of seconds. It was like I had gotten punched across the face. That being said.. It was TOTALLY worth it. So much fun and within a few seconds, we were totally soaked. Check out this little news clip... its pretty sweet what it all looked like when all the balloons were going.

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly......

So for the past couple of days we have been noticing that there have been a few flies in our apartment. Then when I was home for lunch yesterday, I noticed it had gotten worse. Then, last night it was full-plague-status. It was terrible. You would swat at one fly on the wall, and 5 more would start flying at you. I felt like my computer was going to give me the status it tells me all of the time since the virus things started...

YOU ARE BEING ATTACKED.

Then, it was crazy Megan to the rescue. Give that girl a folded up towel and a target and she becomes this unbelievable Danielle Rousseau-like (Lost anyone) huntress. She was crazy good. Our trash can was filled with flies. Meg said she washed at least 5 down the sink and there had to be at least 15 in the trash can. It was so disgusting.

So I didn't kill nearly as many as Megan, but this was the first one that I got!!! When I saw that I had actually hit him, I yelled "I GOT ONE!!!!!" Who knew fly-killing could make you so proud. Haha

Please meet:

If all goes according to the plan thats brewing in my head, my last day of work here will be

ONE MONTH FROM TODAY!!!!!!!!!

Lets hope nothing goes drastically wrong before then!!

Work Stress and Water Parks

So its one week past my crazy decision to move to Texas, and everyday I feel better about it and know that I made the right decision. I have let my peeps at my job know that I'm leaving and have been hitting the job hunt harder than maybe I ever have before. The funny thing is, when I told my boss Annie that I was leaving, she told me that she was taking another job and would be gone in TWO weeks. So it has made my life at work a little crazy and very stressful. Needless to say it wil be a long next month, but at least I'll be working hard up until the very end.

On the good side of life, last night my stake did a service project at SEVEN PEAKS Water Park and then they let us use the park for a couple of hours. Even though its just right there in Provo, I had never been there before. It was pretty darn fun, I have to say. Best ride ever... the white boomerang right... its like a half-pipe that you ride on a tube. I had never done a ride like that before, even though they have them everywhere but it really was so fun.

This isn't me... but it could be... If I were a couple years younger and a little bit more male. The best part about this ride.. I was screaming, but the air was rushing into my mouth and kept cutting off my air. So I sounded like a chain smoker/man/monster. It was amazing. Kind of similar to what happened to my yell when I went skydiving, but not QUITE as awesome.

Mostly, Monday made me REALLY excited to go to Lagoon with Cathy's family on Friday. I'm skipping out of work in the morning to go spend the day with them and I could not be anymore stoked about it. Another Utah Theme Park first for me coming in a few days... Hopefully that one is just as good.
