Long Post

Sorry this is such a long post and I have neglected my blog forever!

Carlos

So Carlos is my first car. I killed her a while ago. This event was very tragic to me because Carlos and I have been through a lot. I have had her since I was 15 and she has been nothing but good to me! So as for now I have gone from driving this:

to driving this:

Carlos and I along with many friends have been on many many many road trips to put these miles on her:

We have also been through some minor fender benders that results in scars on Carlos such as this:

I will always love Carlos and miss her deeply :'(

Labor Day Weekend

Over Labor Day I went to Logan of course! I had so much fun and it was good to get to stay a while. I hung out with my friends all weekend and I got to go to Bear Lake. I've never been there before. We got the famous raspberry milk shakes while we were there!

Marathon

I went to Logan a couple weekends ago to watch my friend Nate run in the Logan marathon! We had so much fun cheering on all the contestants! Nate did great! He didn't train much and still made it in 4 hours and 20 minutes! YAY!

Welcome Home!!!

One of my best friends, Elder Larsen returned from his mission in Brazil last Tuesday! One of my best friends, Klin waited for him just as I am waiting for Elder Harris! I got to hang out with her while she got ready and we waited for the big moment when they got to meet once again after 2 years! It was sooo much fun! Their moment was perfect! I love having him home and he reminds me so much of Elder Harris and the good ol' days! I thought time would go slow since Elder Larsen is home but I have to admit, all those people telling me that it will go fast, it kind of is. Maybe the last couple weeks will go slow though! Ugh!

Homecoming!

Last weekend I went to Logan yes once again so that I could attend homecoming events! I had a BLAST! This year they made the homecoming dance stag and you were supposed to dress up as your favorite decade. We couldn't come up with much so most of us just wore tie dyed shirts! I also went to the football game! We won! Oh yeah! I had so much fun and it was great spending it with my friends!

Fun Fun!

Last weekend I got to go to Logan! Yes Logan! I had so much fun! It was so good to see all my friends! I hadn't seen some of them since the last day of school! The ride to there seemed like it took forever cause I was so anxious to get there haha! Friday night was the 80s dance on campus so that's always fun to attend! We had so much fun getting ready and even more fun dancing! I miss Logan sooo much! Hopefully I'll get to visit lots this school year!

PS... I love my new job!! It's so much fun!! I've already learned a lot! It's good to be busy again!

Also, I can't believe that it's September already, which means that much closer to Elder Harris being home! Only one more transfer for him and he will be on a plane! Gah! Can't believe it! Also another on of my friends returning in 21 days!

Good News!!

Good news everyone! I got a job!!! Can you believe it? It seems pretty unreal to me considering I have been searching for a job for SOOO LONG! I am now a tech at ProRehab Physical Therapy! I'm so excited! I trained for the job and I already enjoy it! The physical therapist is a great guy and has lots of energy! I know I will like the people I work with and enjoy the experiences! One patient already scared me today and then started laughing and said he was teasing me so I can tell I'm already up for an adventure with crazy patients haha :D

Princess Party!

Earlier this week we all met up with the cousins and had a princess party! It was required for everyone to dress up haha! But the good news about that is I can still fit into my prom dress! YESS! I really didn't think that was going to happen! We had so much fun! We made crowns and wands and danced around! Look how cute everyone is!

Bath Time!

Marli and Dylan have been visiting for a little over a week now! They were being so cute in the shower and tub last night I just had to post these pics! They have been so fun and silly! Dylan is always looking for Marli and giving her hugs, it's so cute! Can't decide if being around 2 little kids is the best birth control or if it's just the best thing in the world because I know that the next day when I wake up, they seem to have grown already! They grow way too fast and learn new things like crazy! We jump on the tramp everyday and Dylan can already jump better than when he first got here! Love these two!

100 DAYS!

Elder Harris officially only has 100 days until he returns! I can't believe that this day is actually here! I never thought I'd see this day! Time feels slow most of the time but once I think about it, it really has gone by fast! So many thoughts go through my mind when I realize how close it really is! He is doing great and has had so many great experiences! I can't wait to hear more about it when he gets home!

Happy Birthday Klinny!!

Today is one of my best friend, Klinny's birthday! Happy Birthday girl! I hope you had an amazing day! Love you!!

Australia!

I would have to say the best part about Australia was being with these two little guys and might I add that they are 2 of the cutes kids in the world! I got to meet Noa for the first time and he is such a fun baby!  He grew just while I was there! I wonder how tall he is going to end up to be! Kenyon is a riot and is always busy busy, as you can tell he is a funny kid as well! I also enjoyed the company of my sister and brother-in-law! It's probably the best thing in the world to spend time with family- especially family you never see!

Blue water and white sand, couldn't ask for more :)

My brother-in-law and I tried kangaroo meat for the first time together. It was sooo good! This is supposed to be 'kangaroo' in sign language haha! Gotta love the funny faces!

Australia has the coolest parks! Most of them have canopy things covering them so kids don't get sunburned. These two pics were one of the funnest things we played on at the park. The spinning one was the best! We played on it forever until my brother-in-law got sick and couldn't even eat dinner that night :( oops!

 

Movie World was a lot of fun! We road roller coasters and Kenyon LOVED the bumper cars! I think he could have spent all day on them! He thought he was so big cause he was driving a car! The Superman roller coaster was the best, very fast!! There was also a stunt car show that showed how they drive stunt cars in movies! It was crazy!

The Steve Irwin Zoo was one of the highlights of my trip! I was dying to go the second I got there! It was such a good day! We got to see all the crocodiles of course, feed an elephant, feed and pet kangaroos, and pet koalas! The koalas were so cute! I also saw crazy animals like a taz manian devil and a wombat!  

Last, but not least I got to eat Orange Chocolate Chip ice cream the best ice cream EVER! I tried it a few years ago in New Zealand and I never forgot about it. My sister and brother-in-law has only found 1 store in Australia that sells it! I think I'll be craving it for a while!

Thanks Toya and Vake for letting me come! I had a BLAST! I love you guys!
