Let the summer begin!

I am officially done with summer school! Now the summer fun can begin.. with a month left before school starts again! I had my last paper due this morning (which ended up being 13 pages long!) for my class that ended last Friday. I can't believe I am done! Also just to let everyone know, I will be done with school in December now after I do my student teaching this fall. I was originally planning on getting a minor in Public Relations in addition to my Elementary Education major, but I just decided to drop it, leaving me with just my student teaching left! I can't believe I am going to be a college graduate so soon! My dad mentioned a while ago how I am going to be the first college graduate out of the siblings. Git git! Take that! Wow it feels good to finish and get a Bachelors degree in 3 1/2 years..

I almost forgot to mention the fact that I even got a " Yay, you are done with school!" present from Loni (and 1/16 of it was from Crystal). It was a Utah State mug that Loni spent so much time trying to pick out at the bookstore. She even had it gift wrapped. What a great friend!




Anyway, so yeah I plan on staying up here in Logan in the spring and just working or whatever, and then I will start teaching the little chillins fall of 2009. who would have thought the end of college would come around!

Also a little side note.. I am obsessed with the Joker (my love for Heath will never die) in the new Batman movie, as well as with Step Up 2, and Mamma Mia. They are all FANTASTIC shows that I would highly recommend seeing!




Me and my great friends during the week of the 4th of July. We love summer!




Just a picture of me and my new toy from Kenya. I named him Winslow.. You should see him in action!!

Breakin' It Out with The Rocket Summer

Just to let everyone know, The Rocket Summer is coming in concert on September 19th! This is one of my favorite bands and I have never had the chance to see one of their shows! I have always been gone or working or whatever on the night that Bryce and his one man band would come to Salt Lake. I have missed seeing him four times over the last year or two. The curse will now be lifted because nothing will stop me from making it to the show on September 19th! Everyone is welcome to come! We can make it a big party with Bryce Avary!



Bryce in his amazing-ness

A Tribute to the Betas

I feel it is about time that I blog about my beta fish, Monkey. This is dedicated to beta fish all around the world, even to those who have passed on to the next life i.e. Opti, Rachel and Dave's beta, and Braden's beta the "no name caper" who just dissapeared one day from his bowl (He was later found dead and dried up in the heater vent that was next to the fish bowl).

On May 6, 2008 Monkey was adopted into our home and has become a part of the family. He was rescued by myself as he was almost thrown into First Dam by a friend who did not care for him anymore. Monkey's life was spared that day as I Morgan felt the need to take him under my wing and care for him as my own. The name Monkey was the original name the previous owner had, so I only thought it would be proper to keep his name for his own identity's sake.

Monkey is a very special part of our lives, even though he does have issues with being a wuss (He freaks out when I put my face up to the side of the bowl, I mean come on! Seeing two giant eyes right next to you should not scare the crap out of you) and is kind of moody at times. He even has friends with other betas including Lil' Keem and Bowser, who are owned by Sarah and Dione. He loves being fed and loves his newly remodeled home. His favorite past time includes swimming after a bobby pin that I stick in the top of the fish bowl and move it around to give him some excercise.

Monkey is family and will be until the day I die, or he dies, which ever one may come first! Spread the love for fish and become an owner today!

The Weekend of Fantastic-ness!

This was quite the weekend to set the summer right! I absolutley love those summer days and this weekend just made it that much better!

On Friday I came home to The Ville, and went to see Wall-e with mi familia. Being the great critic that I am I gave it four stars for its romance, comedy and inspiration for all to want to change the world, or at least save the earth, one piece of garbage at a time. It was another success from Disney and Pixar! That evening I went to a friend's wedding reception and chilled with my little sis and her friend, as I was their chauffeur for the night.

Saturday was Taylorsville Dayzz (You have to spell it with the double z or it is incorrect) where I got to go to the parade that morning and to the BEST FIREWORKS EVER that night. I absolutley LOVE getting together with all my old friends from high school and watching the fireworks! This is one of my favorite things I look forward to each summer. This weekend I also went to a Rindlisbacher family reunion, which was surprisingly fun (love you family! For time and all eternity!) and then went to Lagoon on Monday. (Jamie and Ayden, it was good to see you guys there!). I was very sad that I did not get to go to Warped Tour, but I didn't hear too much about its amazing-ness, so I think I might survive.


It was a great weekend and now the fourth of July is just around the corner! I am going to crush everyone at the races in Copperton Thursday morning!
