It's over already?............

Summer is almost of over and it is so hard to believe. I feel like just yesterday I got back from school and now it is time to go back again. Crazy!!!! Well since I haven't blogged at all this summer I thought that I would just hit the highlights.

1. Walking in the park with my mom, Jodi, Tori and some other fabulous ladies.

2. Movie nights with Hannah. Jane Eyre, North and South, Charade. Definatley have to keep this up once we get back to school. We also hung out at the Pioneer Day where I devoured 4 snow cones. :) And we went to the temple together.

3. Reading. I read a lot of books. Including the whole Harry Potter series.

4. Hanging out with Kelsey. We did so many things together: Shopping, swimming, watching movies, laughing, and went to midnight showing of Transformers. Oh I can't forget scaring Katie with Peter... ha ha ha ha. :)

5. Smoothies for breakfast. Yummm...

6. Watching Kaylynn and Shelby's tennis matches. So fun but I wanted to get on the court and start playing.

7. Hanging out with the McClellans and their kids. We went out to dinner and we went on a picnic. Celebrated birthdays together.

8. Hanging out with Kari. We went to movies and out to eat and just hung out. I also had fun going to a band concert of hers.

9. Melissa and Christina came to visit. We went to Japanese Tea Gardens, played games, and watched movies.

10. Working with Panda. Running her over with the cart. My pen bursting in my pocket and dying my leg black. Power going out and getting stuck in Sears for a while on Mom's birthday. Just laughing together.

11. Catch up on Office Episodes. I just have season 5 left to watch.

12. Was a witness for Ron & Lynette's will. Never done that before. :)

18. Brian and Marie come and visit with their two cute boys.

19.Watching lots and lots of movies.

20. And probably the biggest thing of all ASHLEY'S WEDDING!!!! Kelsey and I drove out to Idaho together to be bridesmaids. We planned Ashley's Bridal Shower and Bachelorette Dinner. We had so much fun and now our little Ashwa is married. On the Saturday after the wedding Kelsey and I drove up to Yellowstone but we were so tired after the wedding that we only got out of the car a couple of times and we got a little slap happy. :) On the drive home back to WA we stopped at the paper trees and ran through them which is something that we have both wanted to do.

So in a nut shell. I had a pretty awesome summer.

Ashley's Engaged

Ashley is getting married! Ashley is my roomate of two years and best friend. She has found the love of her life and will be getting married this summer on August 14. I am so excited for her and Dan, her husband to be. Ashley has also asked me to be a bridesmaid, which I am really excitied about. The only problem is that this will be my third time being a bridesmaid. And you know what they say: "Three times a bridesmaid never a bride." Oh well ,who needs guys anyways right? :) I don't have any pictures of the happy couple together but when I get some I will post them so you all can see what a cute couple they are.

Excited to be back in WA? I think so!!!

So I drove home for Thanksgiving break with some fellow Washingtonians. As we got closer to Washington I got more and more excited. When we first stopped in Washington, which ended up being in Camas I jumped out of the car and kissed the ground! Yummy!

Craziness!

Well I haven't blogged in a long time because I have been super busy. My classes and soccer have taken over my life! I'm taking an Anatomy and Physiology class which takes up a lot of time and is a lot of memorization. Last week I had a exam over the different tissues of the body such as Pseudostratified Cilliated Columnar Epithelium. What a mouthful! Well guess what? I got 106%!! I don't mean to be bragging but I was so suprised.

Well anyways yesterday I had to make dinner for my roomates. Those of you who know me well know that I do not know how to cook. I had my mom find me a simple recipe to make and I did it. It took a lot longer to make than it should have but I did it and it actually tasted pretty good. Amazing!

Twin Falls

My parents drove me back to Rexburg last Wednesday and on the way there we stopped in Twin Falls to look at the new temple. There was a really cool canyon that we crossed to get to the temple and it ended up being the canyon that Evil Knievel tried to jump on some type of motorcycle. Here are some of the pictures.

Beach Trip!

Kelsey, Ashley and I went to Seaside for the day on Thursday! It was loads of fun. We stopped by the Astoria tower but it was closed for repair so we couldn't climb up it. :( We went to the candyman store and bought tons of salt water taffy. There like a million flavors and some of them were kind of nasty like jalapeno.

We made lunches but the seagulls ate mine while we were running through the waves. How rude! We also rented this contraption to ride around seaside in. We looked through all of the shops. Kelsey bought some really funny sweats and I bought a tie-die shirt. It's pretty hip. :)

Her sweats say "Pirates do it for the Booty"

We went into this hat store and tried on a whole bunch of funny hats. It was quite an adventure and the perfect ending to summer.
