I haven't forgotten...I promise...

So it has been a week or so since I updated but things have been way crazy and I haven't really had a chance. Today is no different I just wanted to let you know that I have not forgotten about you all...I have however been trying to put together a wedding in a matter of THREE weeks. I took my Bridal pictures today, they don't even look like me. Maybe that is because I was so freaking comfortable with just my future sister in laws there. I knew everybody so it wasn't so scary or creepy. Sunday I look into cakes and Monday I will be registering at Target and looking into flowers. Thursday I will start baking the cookies...if you want to help just say so and I will find something for you to help with...lol. Next week I will also have to set up a eye exam so that I can get contacts and not have to deal with glasses or not being able to see at the wedding. But before I do that I have to get my rent deposit back. Also next week I will look into buying the decorations and table clothes. Tim comes home on Tuesday the 8th which is a little over a week and a half done. I will post Bridal pictures here soon as well as on Facebook and Myspace. So that is all I have time to rant about for now. La'ers all.

Crazy few weeks...

So the last thing I wrote about was the fact that all of my plans had fallen through and I was going to Salt Lake City with the Young Adult Ward.  Well I did get to go to the activity and it was awesome for the most part up until the part where the entire ward left me and Tammy at the Joseph Smith Building.  Luckily, I had my phone and money because Tammy freaked out and went on a calling spree...I freaked out a little bit but never really showed it much.  An elder couple of Service Missionaries gave us a ride to the frontrunner where we waited for an hour for the next train.  As we got to the station though the train that we know had the rest of our group on it was just pulling away.  Tammy has vowed never to go to the Young Adult ward again and well I only go to the activities like always.  That is the excitement of what happened there.

Last week the Barnett family took their FAMILY vacation and took me along with them.  It was awesome to say the least.  Wednesday we went to Cherry Hill Waterpark which consist of a whole two slides and a lazy river.  It was one of the funnest days I have had in a long time and the only waterpark I have ever been too.  I got a slight burn on my shoulders and shoulder blades and that's about it.  Now I really have the perfect tan...it did peel a little but it is just about done peeling now.  Thursday we drove up to Bear Lake...we got there, had lunch, set up the tents and then headed off to visit the cave.  I love caves they are so unique.  After that we went back and swam and had dinner...made s'mores and went to bed.  In the morning we packed up and came home...but that was after stopping at a different beach to swim for a few hours.  Saturday we spent a good amount of time at the Hogle Zoo...we looked everywhere for the Tigers but apparently they were hiding every time we went past.

This week has gone by way to fast for it's own good but I guess that is a good thing since practically nothing at all has happened.  I applied for a few jobs.  I fell and hurt myself pretty good but it only hurt for a few hours and now it is just stiffness sinking in.  I spent whatever time I wasn't looking into jobs reading and hanging out at the library with Tammy.

The boys are gone for the weekend for High Adventure and next week everybody starts school and work.  Hopefully I find something soon so that I am not home alone all the time.  That would suck.  But seeing as I don't know how long I will be here I am only looking into retail positions.  That way I don't feel bad about quiting so soon after being hired.  That is my life in a nutshell as of today.

Plans Change and You Change With Them...

So a couple posts ago I mentioned all the fun plans I had lined up for this week...and last post I mentioned how I haven't gotten to do any of them.  Well it is the end of the week and I haven't done anything.  I didn't get to go to the Zoo or Thanksgiving Point with Cyann and her family Monday or Tuesday due to lack of money.  Debbie forgot she had talked to me about watching the kids yesterday...no biggie, she's a busy woman...so I didn't get to do that either.  I won't be able to go to Sunday dinner with my family for a couple reasons...there is this huge church activity tonight in SLC and we won't get back till late and I really don't have the money anyways.  So since buses don't run on Sunday's I can't make it to the dinner.  Oh well I can deal with that.  The dinner wound up at  my old apartment where Christy still lives.

But next week will be exciting and the plans won't change because the Barnett's have decided to take me on their family vacation.  We are going to Cherry Hill on Wednesday, camping at Bear Lake on Thursday and Friday and then to Hogle Zoo on Saturday.  So I am excited for that.

Today I will be taking a FREE ride to SLC on the Frontrunner because the church is paying.  We are going to all the places concerning church history.  I am also hoping to meet up with Jeremy for a little bit at least while I'm there since I can't make dinner tomorrow.  We will just have to wait and see. 

So like I said "Plans Change and You Change With Them".  It is the only way to survive in this crazy world.  It is also why I take things one day at a time and why I rarely ever make plans in advance...they always change.  Till next time enjoy.

Uneventful week so far...

So far this week has not turned out quite how I thought it would.  I haven't done any of the fun things I had planned due to lack of money.  I was quite bummed that I couldn't make it to the Hogle Zoo or Thanksgiving Point to meet up with Cyann and her family.  I have been calling some of the places nearby to see if they are hiring...not really worth going to apply if they aren't hiring anytime soon...and none of the places I am really interested in working are hiring.  Tomorrow I plan on going for a walk however and I will apply to all the places I couldn't remember the names of in the local plaza.  Other than that I am just kind of chilling and watching The Tribe.  I do look forward to babysitting Ava Jayne and Simon on Friday and if I can get the money a weekend trip down to Orem where I will get to see my cousin Jeremy on Sunday.  We will have to wait and see...it would be good because apparently I have two packages down there and I seem to have left some stuff behind like a dress and I can't find my tweezers which I really really really need.  It kind of sucks.

The Journey Girl...

It's been a crazy few days and this week will be another crazy week.  So last week I got the chance to go up to Idaho Falls and spend some time with Tim's relatives up there.  They own a farm and have all these big draft horses.  It was so much fun.  Although, being up there really killed my allergies because of all the straw/hay and the new kittens that I really had to force myself not to touch.  It was a blast though and I kinda want to go back.  I love the area.  We drove up Wednesday night and Miriam, Nick and I stayed until Thursday...while Miriam's car was being fixed AGAIN!!!

Friday, we went and saw Amanda, Lucas, Matthew and Eric, after Amanda got back from the hospital.  When we got back from their house Andrea, Chelsey and I sat down and watched Twilight.  Andrea made Lasagna for dinner and Chelsey made cookies.  It was a very fun night.  Andrea and I talked about the movie the whole time it was on.  It was just fun and relaxing.

Saturday, I spent the day watching The Tribe and I finished Season 1 and got almost halfway through season 2.  I must have picked up watching the third or fourth season because I don't remember anything that has happened so far.  There are a few episodes I have seen but there are huge gaps in the ones I haven't seen.

Today, Sunday, I went to church with Tammy, Andrea and Miriam.  It was fun but I like the family ward better.  Every once in a while I may go with them but I'm not sure.  It was Fast Sunday so there was a Linger Longer/Break the Fast after church.  Their ward is all backwards they have Relief Society first and Sacrament last.  I was all mixed up.

Tuesday Chelsey, Anthony, Nick and I took Lexus and Snoopy for a walk to the Straw Market.  On the way back we stopped at the park because they thought if we stayed there long enough their mom would come pick us up.  Mainly because they are lazy as all else but I won't get into that.

Monday we all went on a nice walk through the woods and stopped at the 711 to get slushies. 

This week is going to be way crazy as well...Monday I may be going to the zoo with Cyann and her family as well as Miriam and her boyfriend Ryan.  It should be fun I totally haven't seen Cyann in between five and seven years.  I can't wait to meet her daughter Lilly.  They are going to Thanksgiving Point on Tuesday and if I can't make it to the zoo with them I may try to go on Tuesday.  Tuesday and/or Wednesday I am going to go out and stop every where that is within walking distance on a job hunt.  Thursday, the singles ward, is having an Enrichment Night that sounds fun and I might go to.  If I don't have a job by Friday I will be watching Ava Jayne and Simon for Debbie and Chris while they are at a wedding in Bountiful.  That part is still up in the air...depending on job.  Saturday and Sunday I don't have plans yet.  The following Monday will be dinner with Jeremy who I haven't seen in a little over a year and a half.

That is the eventful week I have had and the eventful week I am about to have.  Oh yeah...reading in July kind of sucked...I think I finished one book and that is it.  Lame I know...hopefully this month is better.

family night...

So tonight being Monday was Family Night in the Barnett house.  We went walking on this nature trail near the mountains with the three dogs.  I posted a few pictures on facebook (well will be here soon...) most of which are nature pics but there are few with people in them.  It was amazing and I believe they decided they were going again next Monday...but earlier and longer.  Afterwards, we got slurpees at the 711 and came home for scriptures and prayers. 

In other news I have been up here since last Thursday and it has been fun.  Thursday I left Orem at about 11 am or so...and got back to Pleasant Grove at around 12:30/1:00.  I unpacked my books and movies that night and just kind of hung out.  I also started watching a show called The Tribe via YouTube.  I used to watch it all the time on StarZ and I am finding that I have never seen the first season.  I must have come in on the second or third season.  The crazy thing is there are five seasons and each season has almost 60 episodes and i'm only about halfway through the first season.

Friday...hmmm...what did I do???  Friday we just kind of hung out.  Friday night we went down to the church parking lot and set off fireworks.  I love watching them so that was fun...Amanda, Eric and Lucas all joined us.  Oh and Amanda spent some time with us that day before the fireworks.  Ummm...after fireworks Tammy, Andrea, Miriam and I all went off to Wal-Mart.  I bought green hangers...I mean when you can buy 18 hangers for $2.00 why not...oh and it didn't hurt that well they are almost the exact shade of my room here.  We came home and I started unpacking my clothes since I finally had hangers...I seem to have lost my brown dress though and I don't remember wearing it or packing it in the last two months but who knows.

Saturday...um...also another nothing day...at least nothing I can remember.  Sunday of course was church...I love my new ward but I will miss Kimberly's lessons when she teaches.  Oh well I will get over it this teacher is awesome as well.  That has been my experience over the last few days.

Something I almost forgot...

Last week was the week for running into random people that I haven't seen in YEARS.  First, last either Wednesday or Thursday I ran into Carson Walker.  She and Dave and a friend were walking to the Movies 8...yes I was quite surprised that there was one here too...and I was waiting for the bus to go home after spending hours walking in the heat going from fabric store to fabric store.  It was kinda funny since the last time I saw her was the end of summer term 2003 at BYU-Idaho...sure we randomly chat on facebook but weird to see her in person again.

On Saturday I went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House a second time.  As we were leaving the Temple we ran into Christie Sue Hendrickson.  We used to be really close friends mainly through my cousins but also due to church activities and all that.  I hadn't actually seen her since Seth's Missionary farewell party which was in 2002 or 2003 I can't remember.  It was so crazy.

So Sunday I came home between Sacrament and Sunday School to grab my scriptures because I had forgotten them.  In my heels I have difficulty on the stairs here so I went over to the elevator and lo and behold who do I run into but Elizabeth Neeley with her laundry waiting to go up to the second floor.  Apparently she is supposed to be in our ward at church but I haven't seen her there ever.  Needless to say I got up to my room on the third floor and posted a comment on facebook and left without grabbing my scriptures anyways. 

I find it quite ironic that the week before I move out of Orem and back up to Ogden I run into all these people.  But there is a purpose behind everything...what that purpose is I don't know but eventually it will all come together.
