Man, I'm bad at this thing.

So I can't help but notice that we are really bad at keeping this updated. News! BYU has a stand-up comedy club called Humor U, and I went to their open mic night a couple of weeks ago. I told a story from work about getting punched in the face by a 101 year old toothless British lady and I totally got in! It was fun. I also decided what kind of doctor I want to be- I want to go the DO route, like my grandpa. Also, I'm applying for an ORCA grant to do some research involving lower joint forces and how they are affected by trekking poles. So there's a quick update. I'll try to write more often. And maybe I'll post lame jokes that I like on here. Like this one:

Dr. Heisenberg was driving on the freeway and he got pulled over. The cop asked him if he knew how fast he was going and he says, "No, but I know where I am!" And the cop says, "You were doing 87 mph." And he says, "Dang now I'm lost!" Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love that jooke.

Summer

We have had a wonderful summer. Not quite the "summer o' fun" like we were planning. But still quite good. This has been the first summer that Ben has not taken classes during spring/summer since we have been married. It has been great! I love to have my husband that is not stressed about classes or projects. But no worries he will be coming back all too soon. So I have added some fun pictures of our summer so far.

Zion's National Park

Birch Aquarium

Timp Cave

Fireworks on the 24th of July

Oh, and we ran a 5k this morning and we both got Personal Records

Before @ 6:00 am

After -- 5k later -- about 9 am

In the Kneader's parking lot.

All you can eat French Toast as out reward!

Happiness

I was talking to Ben and I just need to decide to be happy. I am working on that. I have to be happy and appreciate where I am and what my life is right now. Because if I take for granted my life right now, Heavenly Father is now going to give me more to take for granted. Those are my thoughts today.

Spring is here!

A lot has happened since I last wrote, so I will just tell you the major stuff. I now want to be a doctor, Sarah and Neil moved to St. George, we went to Zion National Park, April ran her first 5K, Kyle got into Humor U and we went to his show- and it was really funny!, I took the test to be a CNA and am waiting on the results, and April and I decided to buy a Nintendo Wii! So that's the highlights form the last few months. There's some other stuff that's cool that I'm forgetting right now, but I might tell you about it later. I'll try to remember.

Yeah!!

It's my Birthday Month!

I was going to put a picture of my past birthdays but I don't have any. At least not any on my computer. I will have to make sure we get some good ones this year. So I just put a cute picture of me.

Wow, is it February already?

Ok, so I missed the whole tomorrow thing. Real quickly, the Facebook story- April called her desk at work "home" accidentally, and I thought i twas funny, so I ribbed her for it. Then I thought it would be funny if I changed my Facebook status to reflect our new living circumstances. So I made it say how lonely I was since April moved out (10 minutes before to her desk at work) and within 2 hours I had a text message on my phone and 5 comments asking how we were doing. It was really funny. Trust me.

So I went hiking last Saturday, up Y Mt. it was awesome! There were 7 feet of snow at the top! I went with Kyle (who had to turn back early because he didn't have snowshoes- we didn't think the snow would be that fluffy!), Tyler, Mark Pruitt, Bill and Jolena Ashman, and Mark's friend Mark, who I used to work with back at Globalization Group. It was a fun group. And it was SO pretty up there. I love hiking in the winter.

Also, I finally decided on my career- I'm going to be a PA. It will be hard for grad school, but I think I will like it. That's the plan, anyway. Ok, I will try to write more often. Now I have homework to do, so I will see you later!
