I'm a slacker!!!

So I took this past week off from work to get everything ready to start the counseling program on the 25th. I figured that I would get everything done and then sit back and relax just a little. Well... I had my nephew who is 4 months old for 4 days, I didn't get ANYTHING done but I loved every minute with that sweet baby! I really admire you mothers and don't know how you do all that is expected of you! WOW! Needless to say I didn't get everything done that I wanted to get done but I did do somethings... so instead of focusing on my short comings, lets look at some of my accomplishments! My best guy friend, Dave, and I went to Yellowstone. It was such a good time and we have decided that at least once a month we are gonna take a road trip somewhere! Here are some pictures...










I also went on another road trip to Boise with two of my roommates, Melissa and Stephanie as well as our friend Braden and Megan. We went to warped tour and then the next day went to Roaring Springs... SO MUCH fun!!! Here are some pictures from that...








Now I get to put some of the cutest pictures up of my nephew, since he was the one I spent most of my time with this past week! I love him so much!!! He is such a happy little tiger and can make me smile no matter what! Here are some pictures of Camerin...




Things are gonna get a little crazy around here for the next little while! Last night I printed off the graduate student handbook for the counseling program and I'm not gonna lie... I started to cry! I'm really not sure what I have gotten myself into but there is no backing out now... Just pressing forward. I will keep you posted as much as possible!!!

Memory Lane

I have seen this on a number of my friends' blogs! I finally decided to do it. Love ya!

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

It's ME!!!

My CuTeSt little NEPHEW... hE's GROWING!!!

I love my nephew SO MUCH!!! I had the chance to watch him this weekend and we had so much fun! He is growing so fast! Little tiger!!! Gotta love him! We took some pictures right before I left to go float the Lava river... Good times!

HaPpY 4tH of JuLy!!!!

For the 4th of July we decided to watch the fireworks from across the valley... No traffic jams that way and it was SO nice! After the fireworks were done we came back to our house and lit off some fireworks that Stephanie and Braden got some killer deals on... How grateful I am to live in the United States of America!!! I really do feel so blessed and I am thankful for the opportunity that we had to celebrate last night!!!

WOW!!!!

So we just got our internet up and running LAST night... Whew! It has been a LONG couple of months but things are looking really good now! I had a few little issues with leaking showers but that was taken care of after I needlessly tore out a part of my bedroom ceiling to see if I could figure it out... That'll be an easy fix, right??? Our fridge went out a couple of days ago and now I am just waiting for the new one that I had to buy to be delivered today. I have had to turn into quite the handy woman... with a few exceptions of course. I had one of my new favorite neighbors, Mark, come over to figure out what was wrong with my dishwasher, turns out I just didn't plug it in... oops!!! I knew June was going to be a crazy month but I didn't know that it would be this crazy... Good thing I have a lot of good friends and family to support me through my crazy, stressed to the max freak outs... I and they SURVIVED!!! YAY! I bought a chest freezer last night at the good old Wal*Mart and I THOUGHT it would fit in my car... I was wrong! The stock man who helped me carry it out asked me if I was kidding... I wasn't! So I had to wait for my friend, Dave, to come and rescue me with his BIG truck... Thank you DAVE!!! It's been a fun and very MEMORABLE month! I love having the stability of having my own home! I don't think I will buy another one for A LONG time... This experience was enough to last quite a while!!!! I'll get some pictures on here soon...

CADC!!!!

So these past weeks have been out of control busy!!! I have been trying to get all moved in and unpacked in my new house... That takes a lot of time! I have also been trying to get all caught up at work and then today I had to take the CADC test to get my drug and alcohol counseling license! It's all easy going from here on out! I have got the biggest and most stressful things out of the way and to celebrate I went and got a big ole chocolate chip cookie dough BLIZZARD for DQ!!! Life is good!
