Update...

So folks I am totally writing this from Nick's computer and I couldn't remember my password so it had to be changed...which sucks more than I can say. It is amazingly warm outside and I love it...well I would if the only thing I had clean wasn't a long sleeved jacket that I wore on the way down here. I am waiting for the washer to be free to do some laundry so that I can get out of my PJ's today. It only slightly sucks. My computer is pretty much dead which also sucks...it won't get past the loading screen. So I may be going home without it on Monday...unless Amanda and Eric can figure out what is wrong with it over the weekend. Imagine that...I just had it fixed by Chris what in November or December. It only sucks because all my family history is on there and I would hate to lose it all AGAIN... Other than that life is good and I'm having fun...miss and love you all.

General Amnesty!!!!

  • So I was sitting here thinking and going through the plans we have made this past week when it comes to WEDDING PLANS and we have accomplished quite a bit and will have accomplished a lot more by the end of this week. However when I get home I am kind of screwed because I have to pay rent and buy at least two weeks worth of groceries...and I am out of money. I barely have enough to get me home on Monday. It's all good though.
  • Today we are apparently going to Amanda's. I am so excited to see her new house. Thursday we are also having a "Celebrate Matthew" party at her house and one day she wants to take "Bridals" so that I have something to put up at the wedding...I hate having my picture taken but I think I could deal with that. She also said she would love to help (go with) me register...which I greatly appreciate.
  • I also want to find a day to spend some time with Deb, Ava and Simon but as of right now the rest of my week may be very very busy and I don't know if I will make it unless maybe I have Miriam drop me off on her way to work one day and pick me up afterwards...maybe Friday...but we will see. I will of course call before I come no worries about that.
  • My plan is to head back to Orem on Monday since my library books are due back on Tuesday and a couple of them are on hold for somebody else which means I can't renew them and there is no way I am paying a late fee. When I go back I will most likely only be there another two and a half weeks before I make my way back up here to Ogden. At least that is the plan as of right now.
  • We will see what the rest of the week brings and I will keep you updated...talk to you soon.

Randomness of the past few days...

  • So I am in Ogden...well Pleasantview...and enjoying my time here but it is going by way too fast. I caught the bus at 9:45 in the morning on Thursday and travelled via bus, trax and frontrunner to reach my destination...and got here at oh about 2 pm. That's right a little over 4 hours to get to a place that would have taken about 2 hours by car. But the trains were awesome and I can't wait to take them on the way home...probably next Monday. What makes it even funnier is Thursday night I went with Tammy and Andrea to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House which is about oh 20 to 45 minutes away from my apartment...depends on who is driving and what the traffic is like. We were going to go see The Proposal the next morning so I changed for bed and was reading when Chelsea came in and said Tammy and Andrea wanted to go to the midnight showing which I was fine with so I got dressed again and we went to the movie. It was awesome and I so want to see it again.
  • Friday was kind of uneventful. Amanda came over and we all just kind of hung out. Saturday was Nick and Maxine's birthdays...wow June is a busy month for birthdays and it just keeps getting busier...lol. Amanda, Eric and Lucas came over in the morning for the party and hung out for a little bit afterwards. I played some catch with Nick with his new baseball glove and balls. We went grocery shopping and just had fun to say the least.
  • Today...Sunday...was of course Father's Day so we had another big breakfast with Amanda, Eric and Lucas there...they didn't stay long today. Then we all got ready for church. It was kind of weird because the lessons we had today are the same lessons I had last week and I hate to say it but Kimberly's lesson last week was much better than the one we had today. We came home and had dinner...I called Dad and even talked to Aunt Brenda a bit today. I did a lot of reading and Anthony decided to teach me how to play City of Heroes so I spent most of the night installing it on my computer. Nick read his drivers manuel out loud...it was all good and kind of funny...and we all just hung out. I figured it would be a good time to update my blog before I forgot everything I wanted to say.
  • Now that I am connected to the internet I will try to keep you all updated more. I think for now I am going to go to bed. My eyes are killing me and I really need to take an allergy pill. Allergy pills help me survive living here to say the least...even if they make me tired it is so worth it. Lat'rs...

Crazy busy day...

So there is a lot to do today and not a lot of time in which to do...at least I wish I had more time to do everything. I have gotten a couple not so important things done so far but as I want to leave first thing in the morning I won't have time to do any of this tomorrow...if I have to I will push back the time I leave but only if I have to. Some of the things I have to do include...
  • Laundry
  • Clean my room and possibly the kitchen
  • Pack
  • Go to the Bank and the library...no biggie if I don't make it to the library though
But hey it's worth the time and stress in order to be able to go up and see all the people I miss so much...and finally meet little Simon Heiner Cope. I think that is all I have for now so I will talk to you all later...

I fell off the horse...

So I was doing really good at updating this but then at the end of May things got kind of crazy and now it is almost the end of June. So here is a brief update because nothing too exciting has happened.
  • I have gotten into working on Family History again. I work on it for hours on end almost every day. It is very relaxing to say the least.
  • I have also gotten into two new shows thanks to my cousins...Grey's Anatomy which I am completely caught up with (well almost)...and The OC which I'm only a few episodes into...both are excellent.
  • I turned 25...I'm old now...but this was the first good birthday I have had in years...since I was like 16 I think...lots of fun...and a crazy week.
  • Our apartment has been clean for two weeks and I have only had to clean the kitchen once...it is so nice to not have to clean it every day...but that ends tomorrow but I am leaving Thursday so I don't have to deal with it...YAY!!!
  • I have made it over halfway through my goal to read 75 books this year. At the end of May I had read 33 and now have almost finished 40...
  • I have started trying to learn German but I'm not good with other languages so I am feeling about ready to give up there.
  • I got my hair cut...gave Kimberly and Cassie free reign to do whatever they thought would look best and told them to surprise me...I love it...they want to color it too but we are waiting for a time when Cassie isn't too busy to do that...so I guess I have to give in and post pictures before it is finished...which sucks...
  • Thursday morning I will be going to Ogden and can't wait to get up there and see everybody I miss so very much. It is going to be a very long trip via bus but it's all good...maybe I will get the few things I accidentally left at Deb and Chris's...my hoodies and a pair of lounge pants and a tink t-shirt...we never did find my BYU hoodie which sucks that was my favorite and the other I left in her car one day...
So I think that is about all that has happened in the past four weeks. I will try to keep up with this blog better from now on I promise...oh and I just remembered I need to get my license renewed it expired the 4th of June...the day after my birthday...which sucks...not like I need it for anything but identification right now.
