They grow up so fast


I know it has been a really long time sense I have updated but I have been really busy. What has been going on sense I last updated?

Well for starters I have decided to move to Evanston, Wyoming for the summer. The company I cater for has bought the restaurant up there and they have asked me to come up and work for the summer. I have spent the last couple of weeks looking for an apartment and thinking about the ones that I have already seen.

The next big thing that I have done was by myself my very first pair of high heels ever. I went big to. I wore them to church a couple of weeks ago and my feet killed afterwards so I have not put them on again because I hate pain and because it has been way to cold outside to wear them anywhere. But I am determined to wear them this summer and just hope that I get use to it. So here they are....
A few weeks later I went and got a pair of black high heeled boots. I just cannot believe myself. Who am I turning into.

Well besides that I have just been working some crazy hours. I am excited to be heading to Evanston for a different pace.

Weekend in Logan

I am not quite sure where we were going when these two pictures were taken but my camera says they are on the first day so here we are. Our first night in Logan all ready to party. Above is Katie Neff who many of you reading this blog don't know. She is my soon to be married friend from High School. We don't hang out that much but when we do it is so fun.

So in Logan they have been having these break-ins. This creepy guy that they call the Logan Lurker has been braking into apartments and stealing people things while they are sleeping. The roommates below Nicole put this sign on their door.

Thursday: We got there around 7 and just hung out with everyone. Huss and Melissa came up and sung us an awesome song that they wrote.

In Nicole’s apartment they have a quote wall of things that they have said during the year. This was my favorite thing said by the best person up there.

Friday: We went to Hobby Lobby. Which is this store that has the cutest things in it. We walked around there for like an hour just looking at everything and talking about how we would get everything if we were rich.


When we got back from Hobby Lobby we decided to make cookies. We made really delicious sugar cookies with pink frosting.


Then that night we went to the movies. We went to see Dear John and I loved it. It was so good. When we got back we just watched talked and watch another movie.


Saturday: Today was game day. We went and stood in line at 6:15. It was not that cold so it was not bad. We keep ourselves entertained by watching Sian dance around and taking pictures. The game was fun. It was the first time I have ever been to a game and I have to say that it was fun. Of course we won because the Aggies are the best.





Hay and Emily's Marti Gras outfits

Later that night everyone went to Marti Gras and we stayed with Kij and Aaron and made pot stickers and Rice Krispies for the Super Bowl party. At about 1am we decided that we were all hungry so we ate tacos. Then we watched Aaron’s favorite show How I met you mother. We ended up going to bed about 2:30am.




Sunday: After church we had a Super Bowl Party. We had lots of food to eat and lots of people to eat it with. Here are some pictures of the party.




When we got back from the game Sian was really crazy. We had some music on and she started dancing around Aaron all seductive like. It was so funny. Here is a little video of it.

Help!

As you have noticed I have not posted in many months. That is because beyond working I have not been doing much else but I have decided to steal Nicole's idea and get some opinions on what I should do in life. I need some major help. At the moment I am working in Park City as a Nanny and catering a little here and there. What I am wondering is what I should do with my life. So some ideas that I have are: 1. Move to Provo, Salt Lake, or Logan and find a job with my degree that I spent four years getting. 2. Live in Kamas and keep my jobs to make money until next fall and then actually get on with my life by moving somewhere exciting. i have been thinking about this for a month now and have gotten nowhere so any help you can give me will be much appreciated.

Help Wanted!

I know it has been awhile sense I last did a post but I just don't have anything important to post on. But lately I have been reading the Mormon Bachelor Pad blog and get quite a kick out of it. I think that I should start a blog of my own about my dating experiences. But then I think, wait I don't have any dating experiences so that would not work. But as I was texting this kid from my class last night I found that I actually was quite nervous when he said that we should go hiking up by mirror lake. Of course I was like oh that sounds like fun when really I was thinking how much I really don't like hiking and how it is most likely going to be cold. So I told him that it might be cold and he was like well we should come up with a plan B in case it is cold. I told him that I would think about a plan B sense he was coming up to my home town so I really need some suggestions of what to do. (This could be my very first post on my new blog about Mormon women dating.) Please leave your ideas about what I should do next saturday. I have to text him back by Sunday.

Road Trip With The Family

I just took a nine day road trip with my family and have lots of pictures to show what I saw along my way. But beware there are a lot of pictures. 

I could not get these to move to the right place. But these are picture of my poison Oak. It started on my nose and then spread everywhere on my face including my eye and my ears and then down my chest.


  The beautiful scenery that we had to look at for hours. And don't be deceived it is not water it is nothing.
   A picture of the girls at the Salt Flats. 
Crater Lake. And yes it really was that color of blue. It is said to be the cleanest water in America. 

The first waterfall that we saw on the road trip. We were on our way to Crater Lake and just saw it on the side of the road. 

The third day of the trip was my favorite. We spent the day hiking up to all these different waterfalls. It was called the most beautiful 30 miles in Oregon and I thought that it truly was so here is a bunch of pictures of all the waterfalls. 
My all time favorite waterfall.






At the beginning of the trail to one of the waterfalls there was a huge area filled with all of these karens that someone made.  
A little walkway that we had to walk through to get to one of the waterfalls. 

My dad and I waiting for my mom and sister to hike up to a spot where Indian boys used to go before they became a man to wait for inspiration. It just did not appeal to us the way it did to my mom. 
After spending the day at the waterfalls we headed back to a campground that actually had showers where we all could shower after not being able to for three days. We all smelt great:) Well it was dark outside and I was walking back from the campground and I took a short cut through another campground and I tripped over the fire place. I landed on my leg and scrapped it down the bone. I could not walk for days. I doesn't look near as bad as how it felt.  
Sunday we stopped at this light house. My family went and took a tour of the light house while I sat in the car because my leg hurt to bad to even move. But my brother took pictures of the light house so I didn't even need to get out.

 
California Coast
Another picture taken by my brother that I just love. 
On the 4th of 5th Day into the trip. We drove down the coast and stopped all along the way to look at different points of the coast.  
The base of one of the huge trees. You cannot really tell how big it is in this picture. But it was huge!

This was one of the biggest trees we saw the whole trip. The base was big enough that we could drive the van through.
My brother actually took this picture but I love it so much that I thought I would put it on here.
Just a picture of how high the trees are.
This Picture was taken at Stout Grove.
 This was the coolest tree that we saw. It is called corkscrew tree. I hiked for like three miles to see it so I am glad that it was cool.
Ashlee standing in the rain.
This was the water fall that was flowing through that campground that was next to ours.        (We almost stayed there.)
After spending two days at this campground in the rain this is what the car looked like. There are like two inches of leaves on the top of everything.

On Thursday we took of and headed inland and away from the rain. On the drive our van just all of a sudden stopped. We sat on the side of the road for about an hour trying to figure out what was wrong with it but ended up having to have it towed. It cost $400 to tow it to where it had to go because it had to be taken to a dodge dealership. After a three hour tow to Redding my parents spent the night in the van in the parking lot and we got a hotel room at the cheapest place possible and the room sure smelt like it to. 

On Friday the Van got fixed which was another $400 and then we ate breakfast in the park. Then at about 10am we decided to just head home. We dropped Tyson off in Reno and then continued onward. After all day and night in the car we finally pulled in the driveway at 3am on Saturday.  It was a long vacation but I cannot say that it was all bad.

P.S. I hope everyone enjoys this post because it took like two hours. I think I need to find a better way to do this.
