Adventures in the mountains with my family

Wow it has been a while since I have last written!
4th of July weekend was a blast!

For me it started on thursday when I got off work. It was a fun little adventure. My dad picked me up from work to take me to get my car. While we were on our way to get my car Jacob called me because he got stuck at Bean's and Brew downtown. Luckily I was able to save him. Jake bought me a very delicious Iced Chai then we went to dinner at one of my new favorite restaurants Cafe Med. They serve greek food and oh lord it is amazing. We then pestered my mom to let me borrow some movies. Jake had never seen Across the Universe or Harry Potter: Order of the Pheonix. It was fun to just have a relaxing night. We just watched the movies and hungout with his dad.

Friday was awesome just because I was able to sleep in until 3:00pm. When I woke up I waited until 8 until I was finally ready for the day. Me and Jake then went up Big Cottonwood Canyon to say hello to my parents and give them their camera. After that it was off to a bar named Republican. Had a beer there then we went to a party at Becky # 1' place. A little bit about Becky #1.. Well first off her name is Becky, she has black framed glases, and she has a monroe peircing on the same side as mine. To say the least when I met her at the bar we were instanly friends. She is a way cool chick. So party at her house. Got a little drunk there. Topher met up with us then he took me home to sleep =)

Saturday again slept in late. Took a long time to get ready. Then me and Topher went over to my grandpa Hilton's house to set off fireworks with Sarah, Shaun, and little Addie. It was so much fun. Me and Topher lit off seven screamers at once we're lucky we can still hear after that. After setting off fireworks my sister invited us to go have some drinks at her place. When we got there Sarah and Shaun were playing scrabble. I tried to help my sister win the game. We cheated a little bit. But it was still way fun. Then we went to a party at Cassie's friends house. It was pretty fun. We all got hungry and then left.

Sunday. Oh were to begin sunday was so much fun! My family, topher and lisa all went up Big Cottonwood Canyon to have Linner(lunch/dinner) with my parents. It was so much fun. We went on lots of little adventures. Here are some pictures.

Work, life, love... you name it... thoughts haha

Things at work have been changing so much. Sometimes I have no idea what to expect next.
We're getting a new manager. Cynthia is moving on to bigger and better things. I welcome the new manager with open arms but, a part of me is still scared. I'm afraid of the change that this new manager may bring. I really do just need to embrace the change right? Good thing I still have my co-workers. I don't know what I would do with out them. This extends to the secretaries. Some of those girls up stairs really amaze me. They are so kind. I think they are for sure one of the reasons I want to keep working here.

Another note. We're not getting our yearly raise this year either. Damn this economy. I don't know what I am going to do about that. School, rent, utilities, other debt. Its really starting to take a tole on me. Good thing I only have one more month of tuition to pay. Thats really going to help just having that extra money per month. Hopefully over the summer I can sell my car and get my consolidation loan paid off.
Wow I'm rambling a lot.

Good news though. Me and Topher hit our 3 year mark on March 1st. I can honestly say these past 3 years have helped me grow up so much. I'm lucky to have a boyfriend like him. He is absolutly amazing. So patient and understanding. Loves me more than anyone will ever know. *sighs* Its such a good feeling to have some one love you as much as you love them. Treat you the way you should be treated. I hope I do the same. I know I didn't at first. I still kick my self for all the stuff I put him through in the begining.

I have decided that over the summer I must go hiking at least once or twice a week. I want to be outside a lot this summer. Anyone want to go camping or on a roadtrip this summer? Lets plan something stat! How about going to California to go play on the beach?? Gosh that sounds so wonderful. Hopefully the next time I to go California my car won't break down. *knocks on wood*

Ok... I'm done for now... TA TA FOR NOW!

New Years/Resolution

I must say that this was one of the best New Years I have had. During the night I partied with my friends. Then New Years day. I got to have a very tastey brunch at my sisters house. I love my sister's cooking. Very good food to eat after a night a partying.The highlight of my night was when I got the biggest kiss ever from the one I love.Seriously. This was an amazing night.I hope everyone had a good and safe night at well.


Resolutions:
1. Do good in school. I want to get at least a 3.5 GPA
2. Get all of my debt paid off.
3. Be more heathly in the body and mind.(On the way to doing this. I started doing 150 crunches every night before i go to bed. The number will increase weekly. On Monday January 19 I am going to start running.)
4. Possibly get rid of my car and get into something better.
5. Be a better friend to those around me. Family included.

These are some of the most important things that I want to accomplish in the year 2009.
I know I can pull these off. With my tax return this year I am going to just put it all towards my debt. I'm going to make a plan to get me out of debt fast. Then I want to start watching what I eat. Eating less fast food. I want to exersise more.

I'm so happy to be finally getting my head on straight. I want to get things done. I will. I promise my self that I will do this.
