The New Canon SD1100

I have been wanting a good quality camera to take descent pictures for a while now. Ever since I started scrapbooking at work and they want some good looking pictures I thought I should invest in a camera so i can use my own, personal photos. I love this camera already! I guess if Mollie recommended it and approved of it, then it's a really nice camera.

Ninja Invaders

This top picture is me with all my roomies! They are so fun!

This past Tuesday night (yes this past week has been loaded with activities right and left) our roommate came into one of the rooms dressed up as a ninja and made us all jump. She thought we should all dress up as ninjas and go around and invade all the apartments. We got a few screams and laughs and others just looked at us and was wondering what the heck we are doing. It was so much fun! It sure entertained all of us. We were having so much fun that after we did all 32 apartments in our complex we went next door and did random people who we have no idea who they were. It's fun doing it to people we have no idea who they are because we can be as goofy as we want to. :) Oh the life of a college student!

Did I say Jazz fan!?

This past Monday I got to meet the Jazz players! It was a lot of fun! One of the things that I have always wanted to do is meet Deron Williams and get his autograph. I went with my sister and her fiance, Shean and I took a friend along with me as well. I am so excited for this season to start! I just wanted to tell everyone about my excitement since I haven't posted for a while. :) Oh and I wish I knew how to rotate pictures on a Mac so let me know if you know how!

Happy Birthday Kendra!

Happy Birthday big sister! Kendra is such an amazing person! I am so lucky to have her as a sister and not only as a sister, but as a best friend. She is so fun to be around. She does so much for me in every way possible! I probably couldn't get things done if I didn't have her helping me. She is a very talented girl. I Love you so much and wish the best for you. I LOVE YOU!

I GOT A NEW JOB!

Okay okay.. for everyone who doesn't already know, I got a new job! YIPEE for me! I got a job at American Crafts as an in-house scrapbooker and product designer! Man am I ever excited! I have been wanting to be in this position for a very very long time. I have been very patient to hear back about this job, let me tell ya! I had an interview with the "boss" 3 weeks ago! Now can I tell you how excited I am to get this job? I am not a very patient person, but I held out! I'll have to blog about my first day of work in 2 weeks!

Long Time

Wow! So it has been quite a while since I have posted! I have been very busy with my time. So sorry it has been a while since I have done ANYTHING. I guess there must not be anything too exciting write about either. I don't even have cool pictures to post. I'll have to make a "random" post like everyone else does once in a while. So this is what I have been up to lately: School, work, my calling, and homework. NON STOP that is! School has started in full swing! I have projects after projects in 2 out of 3 classes. It doesn't seem like that many, but it adds up when you have to do projects and not "paper" homework if you know what I mean. My favorite class and probably the most helpful class to my major is Typography and Layout 1. It is a lot of work, but it's going to be a challenge! For my second assignment in this class, we have to design a layout that has a good texture by just using type. I thought it was only going to take me an hour to do 10, BUT it took me 4 hours! We had to draw the font as good as we could! So time consuming. I will have to show you the final project when i get it done! Sorry that's all I have to say, boring I know..... I told you so!

Save Now

Happy Birthday Elder Summerhays!

Happy 20th Birthday Elder Summerhays! He is a really good friend of mine. He is on a mission in Macon, GA mission. He will have been out a year on November 7th. He wanted me to post a few pictures of him so I just thought it would be a great idea to do it for his birthday! :) For those of you who don't know Mike, he is a really neat guy! He has such an awesome personality! I am pretty sure that he can be friends with anyone! These are just a few pictures of what he did on one of his P-days.

Lava Hot Springs

I should not have added this one last because it is now the first one! Yeah we ate candy!
Mollie blowing up her tube! It took forever to blow them up!

And of course, Me being a dork!

Jenni and Mollie showing off our awesome cabin!

I'll have to put more pictures on when I get them from Jenni and Mollie. ENJOY!
This past Monday and Tuesday I went to Lava Hot springs with Jenni and Mollie for a little trip before life gets wild with school and all. We stayed in this really nice cabin right in town. I cannot believe how nice this place is for Lava Hot Springs! When we first got there, we put on our swimming suits and blew up our tubes to go float down the river! It was so much fun! I have never done it on a single tube before. We all fell off at one point of floating the river. I got scrapes on my fingers that won't stop stinging! :) and a big nasty bruise on my leg.
After we floated the river... oh wait! Jenni lost the key to the car so we had to figure that one out! Luckily she had a spare at the cabin so we didn't even have to break into her car for that! We then went to the pool and just floated on our tubes and laid out reading our books and stuff.
After that, we decided to go rinse off and relax at the cabin by watching a movie! Nothing too exciting, but it was nice! Later that night, we went to the HOT pools! Wow they are pretty warm during the summer! I never go when it's hot outside, but it felt really relaxing. We stayed there for a couple of hours and then went back to our cabin to watch another movie that I fell asleep too! Of course! :)

3 Weekends in a Row!

This past weekend I was in Bear Lake with the family. This is about the only picture I got, unfortunately. BUT it still is way cute! For some reason when I rotate the picture, it won't stay that way when I upload them to blogger. Sorry for the ones that are sideways. Mckenna just loves to help "Gamma" do EVERYTHING!! She thinks she is so big!


This is Jenni and I at the craft fair during Raspberry Days the week before! I had so much fun hanging out with her! We have some good times. Especially drinking that good homemade rootbeer! :)

Here is Mckenna eating a yummy hot dog at the craft fair as well! She LOVES hot dogs. I love when you tell her to smile and say "Cheese" to the camera... you get her saying cheese and no smile! Gotta Love it!



I was able to go to the Rodeo with Jackie the week before Raspberry days! It was okay this year, but they have done better. It was good to be able to be with Jackie! We have some good times together!


That is what I have been up to the past 3 weekends! I'm quite sad to say I don't know when I will return to Bear Lake for some more fun! Thanks everyone for the entertainment this summer! I cannot believe school is about to start AGAIN! Oh the good times we share!

Color Me Mine!

At the end of July for our enrichment activity we went to Color Me Mine at Riverwoods in Provo. It was so much fun to be with just girls. I think everyone had a really fun time. I made a chip/dip bowl. Mollie made a vase and the other girls made things such as: mug, coasters, and a dish to put your dirty spoon on while cooking kind-of-a-thing. If you ever have the urge to do something creative and artsy go to Color Me Mine. It's a lot of fun! Sorry I don't have any pictures of this event yet because I left my camera at my sister's. Pictures coming soon!
