First of all this is the worst phrase you will ever hear in a relationship...usually. That is besides the point though, I actually just want to share a lovely quote.
"God does notice us, and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs. Therefore it is vital that we serve each other."
-Spencer W. Kimball
Smart man smart man, and something I needed to hear; I am now off to a week full of service towards strangers and those most important to me.
This weekend I had the opportunity to take a day off work and go to Casper, Wyoming (it's a much bigger place than you think) to see and meet some very amazing people. I had a pretty fun time and learned a bit of new information, as well as getting a lot to think about.
I learned that selling security is a very very hard job and I would not want to do it everyday for the summer. I am much better at coloring in coloirng books with little kids and making friends with dogs, while Chris sells security, which he is very good at, and I am not. It is not for the faint of heart thats for sure. I was secretly having a minature heart attack everytime we knocked on a new door, while I imagined that someone would come out with a machette and attempt to kill us. (Don't tell Chris, I really tried to act and look brave; and since I'm pretty sure he doesn't read this, we are ok there)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I learned that I love antique shopping in Casper there are some precious jewels waiting to be discovered in the Antique Mall that resides there. Mindy and I spent over 6 hours Antique shopping and I basically found my new favorite person to talk with and shop with. It was such a blast! (the precious earings I found to be talked about and pictured later)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I learned that when guys are together with a bunch of other guys they have this weird tendency to act really, just weird, and a bit gay(that is a huge understatment) around eachother. It's actually a blast to listen to and watch. Such silly boys.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I learned that I will never go swimming in the Wyoming river because it is like swimming in a bath of dry ice; and mom says never to touch dry ice so I listen to what mom says... for the most part.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I discovered that car wash water fights are the best kind and will be way more intense next time.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
And last but not least I need to take more pictures. I am a very lucky girl.And cannot wait for next weeks episode of the bachelorette! Yes Please! Can we talk about how much I just love Roberto, Frank, and Kurt...that is all.

The best thing that has ever happened to me...
Happened last night. I will probably change this bold declaration after I get married and have kids and blah blah blah all that mooshy gooshy stuff but for now that just doesnt matter.
So what happened last night?
Well.. I did not win a million dollars but this was almost better then that. I also did not discover a hidden city.
I did go play lazer tag with 24 friends and David Copperfield at his wearhouse from midnight until 5:30 AM.
This is not just ordinary Lazer tag this is extreme lazertag like lazertag on steriods. I will never play regular lazer tag again and enjoy it, I am pretty sure.
It was so awesome playing all the different types of games and Garrett and I were both so little we played on the front lines and it was war.
I have never had a sore hand before but today my hand is killing me and I have bruises all over but ever single second was worth it and I would play at least once a week. The goal is to take this game to David Copperfields islands in the Bahamas and have people pay to play there. I would pay to play lazer tag like that any day it was such a good work out and the most fun I have had in a long time.
These guns cost almost as much as a Macbook
We are one crazy group!!
Special thanks to Case and Pappa Stags for inviting all of us and Chris who works with David for taking these amazing pictures and David Copperfield for allowing us to play lazertag and staying up to watch us play all night long.

To many options
I love being home in Vegas. So many people complain about the +115 weather but I am just soaking it up. I love having tan lines all over the place from different swimsuits. I love working out in the pool for 2 to 6 hours a day and I love wearing shorts at night and not freezing to death. I love my students they are such a blast to teach and can always make me smile.
The one problem with soaking up the things I love is that besides having 5 different shades of skin my hair turns dry and brittle from being out in the sun for 6 or so hours and the chlorine then showering every 12 hours or less. This kind of treatment is just not good for a girls hair. It is probably the number one way to make your hair jank nasty. Last summer I learned firsthand that having the regular conditioner and shampoo will just not make my hair soft and shiny after such harsh treatment. So prior to starting my next week out in the sun I went shampoo and conditioner shopping.
My brain almost exploded.
Once upon a time in my small shampoo and conditioner world there existed one brand, Herbal Essences. Sadly this brand was not good enough to fix my summer hair. Leading me to discover a whole new world where there are over 1,000 brands of shampoo and conditioner.
(multiply this picture by 1million and you can see my predicament)
I spent over 30 minutes in the shampoo and conditioner isle completely confused on what brand will really fix my hair for the summer. After my brain exploding I decided the best way to fix this problem would be to call one of my friends who does hair and ask her what the best type of shampoo and conditioner would be. She told me and I bought it having full faith that dropping enough money to buy myself 4 new outfits would make for some amazing hair. We will see how this big purchase works. Next weeks extravaganza....purchasing good face wash.
Computer update: I got it back from the computer doctor but that same day it was broken again so I took it in for a diagnostic and they called today and have to ship if off for 6 weeks!!! 6 weeks. I don't have it in my to purchase a mac yet because I am soo hooked on my PC but BestBuy is not helping me want my PC very much right now..basically I will be computer less until I go back to school unless I am sold by a Mac.
So in conclusion, do you know any good face wash? and convince me to buy a Macbook Pro..ready go!

L to the T
Today is one of the best days of the year...why?
Well, because it is Lori T's B-day!
Although it has only really been a little over a year since this beautiful lady become one of my best friends I can't look forward into the future and imagine my life without her.
Here is why:
She will do photo shoots in the Logan fall weather with me. She will even dive into the blizzard with 5 billion inches of snow and make snow angels in her swim suit...now that is a good friend.
Lori is one crazy lady, she made sure that I had fun and did something spontaneous at least once a week. For instances...run a 5K dressed up as a bowl of soup.
She takes the funniest pictures and can pee anywhere..nuff said.
Whenever anyone needs something she is always there. That includes when I need a backup date she is my backup date, and we make amazing food and watch amazing movies.
She drives with me everywhere and sings just as loud as I do so I am not embarrassed; and she even gets lost with me.
She makes one mean bonfire and roasted pigs in a blanket; and even though she hates the picture she will still love me after reading this post and probably even laugh when she sees this picture up here.
She knows how to party with some of the coolest people ever. One of the best weekends at Utah State so far was spent with Lori and these guys and it was a blast. Hairballs and everything.
and last but not least.....
In ever single crazy escapade I do she is right a long side me supporting me. She may hate it, yet, she still does it. Lori will stay up until 2 or 3 sometimes even 4 AM in the freezing cold temperatures spray painting signs or cleaning up the TSC because it is what I love to do and thats how good of a best friend she is.
Oh and she's beautiful! She would never ever tell you she is because she is too busy always complimenting other people and not noticing. Oh and letting me borrow her clothes because her style is so rad and I want to be just like her.
If I didn't have someone up in Utah to brag about Vegas with everyone in the state of Utah would have already kicked me out and sent me back to the home I love, but Lori is there to rep Vegas sweaters and t-shirts right a long side me and even watch the basketball games with me.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LORI!! Thanks for being the greatest friend I could ask for...and converting me to macs..almost! Utah wouldn't be the same had you not stolen my hometown in lifeguarding class and we had not have met. I can't wait to be roomies next year and make our room like AMAZING! Go Aggies! and Rebels!
p.s. I bought a pair of Chacos..please don't hate me. I am telling you now so that when we go stalking the Buried Life this weekend I can warm you up to getting some too!
Love ya!
