Guess who's back

After over 4 months of Vegas lovin I have decided I better get back to the world of blogger.

Here is my story.

Wyoming....eats your soul!!!!

After making 3 lovely plane rides down to the town of Casper & Gillette, Wyoming. I decided, it was not that bad. Until..... Lori and I decided to drive to Gillette Wyoming one lovely Labor Day.

10 hours.... 10 long hours of pure torture.

2 lane road

nasty smoking old men hitting on you from their cars or in gas stations

Getting lost in ghost town Wyoming at midnight

Really slow buses and semi's that I am just to scared to pass.

Lori playing kiss me through the phone the whole way there.

Why you might be asking, why would I subject myself to such torture?

For a hunk of a man name Chris who is currently selling his soul in Wyoming, poor guy. 

At this point in the story I would now like to introduce GiGi into the blogging world. Her full name is Gertrude Gale Garmin and she is the GPS Chris so lovingly bought me after I got lost in Wyoming. GiGi is now my constant car companion and tells me everywhere to go. Lori, GiGi and I developed a tight knit bond on the long drive back to Logan. I am forever indebted to Chris for helping me never get lost again.

I now reside in a house with 10 amazing roommates....yes that is a lot of girls with only 2 bathrooms. No we have not gotten into a fight, I can hardly even tell they are here sometimes and we all love each other!  

& although my bed does not rock as much as my bed at home it still holds a special place in my heart.

Lori and I decided to be red necks for a day because, it was crucial that I have a mattress before the end of the night and there was just not a truck in sight. Luckily we summoned all our brain power and decided this was the best way to get the mattress home....

Just kidding!!!! we got a little bit more redneck then that and got my jumper cables out of the trunk and strung them on top while Lori held each side through the window. Only a true best friend would do this. 

Lesson learned: Next serious purchase I make will probably be a truck.

Last weekend Lori and I decided to pack up and leave the streets of Logan for a nice girls weekend out in Salt Lake. The best part....Staying with Chani or course and then......

Fun. in concert!!!

Lori snagged this beautiful shot from my phone. Yes it was amazing. Yes Fun. did play a Format song "Dog Problems" which made the concert rock even more. Yes we did get free snow cones, 

and yes the concert was outside. All of this equals up to how amazing the weekend was!

Last but not least... 

Life as an Aggie

I am back to being an Aggie again meaning lots of hours spent on the 3rd floor planning events & doing service, school work, and now amazing friends and roommates to spend my time with. Aggie football is back in season and is, well... as good as last year and we still love them. Ben, Trent, Lori, and I spend almost every waking moment together and have Sunday dinners together every Sunday (our tradition carried on from last year).

All in all life as an Aggie is just great minus the gaping hole named Chris that is not back yet from selling his soul in Wyoming. Once he gets back my life as an Aggie will continue.

4th of July Prayer

Vegas is the best place to Celebrate the 4th of July there is only one reason for this.

I can sit on my balcony with the family and watch over 50 firework shows at one time its amazing and a beautiful show with all the hotels lighting off their fireworks from the strip absolutely perfect!


This 4th of July I had the privilege of sitting in primary with all the kids and heard one of the best prayers by the cutest little girl who was about 4 or 5 and in a huge frilly red dress. Here is how it went: (word for word)

"Dear Heavenly Father, Please bless we don't go crazy. Tonight at fireworks bless they wont come out of the sky and catch me on fire. Please take my brother back I don't like him. Thank you for the flag. Amen"
Needless to say I bet Heavenly Father was laughing just as hard as we were.

This was a good 4th of July and the first one I have spent with my family in 5 years!! I do miss it. Although at the end of the night we had a bit of a scare. I was walking out the front door looking for my cat and as I stepped out I saw something HUGE scuttle passed my foot. I screamed and jumped then slammed the door so whatever it was would not get in the house. By this time the whole neighborhood was watching since fireworks were being done in front of our house.

I went inside to grab a few friends and show them just how large this...thing was. (if I didn't mention...it was HUGE!!!!) We were all huddled around looking at it on my doorstep when my mom opens the door... At this time I feel like a dialog is the only appropriate way to continue this story.
Myself and a 4 other girls: NOOOO DON'T OPEN THE DOOR IT WILL GET IN CLOSE IT FAST! (all of this said as a scream)
Door closes


Door opens again
Myself and girls: NOOOO!! WE ARE SERIOUS THIS THING IS HUGE CLOSE THE DOOR.
Marie: Kayde, can I squash it?
Kayde: Marie no way are you crazy that thing will go through your shoe!!
The HUGENESS scuttles away.
Kayde: Marie I think we are good you open the door and we all run in.
Door opens...the hugeness scuttles towards door.
The Hugeness enters the house...
Kayde, Mom, Girls, Brandon (the brother):OMYGOSH!! ITS IN THE HOUSE THAT THING IS HUGE HURRY GET IT OUT GET IT OUT!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSS AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH BAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH GGAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
The girlie screaming even from Brandon continues throughout this whole 20 minute ordeal.
Brandon comes running into the entryway with Febreeze trying to spray it. The hugeness gets angry...
At this point Brandon is running around with Febreeze screaming like a girl... I am hiding behind the couch with the other girls peeking out and my mom is screaming something about a creature of heavenly father and not to squish it but just herd it outside to eat cockroaches.(did I mention this thing is HUGE...and unidentifiable)
Suddenly Woody (German Shepherd..the puppy one) decided it looks pretty tasty and attempts to eat it.
We all scream again...
He drops THE HUGENESS and suddenly 5 BILLION (not exaggerating)little things come flying off its back and go scuttling around the house...hello Indiana Jones experience.
This thing had babies and now they were infesting our house. The one good thing...THE HUGENESS had lost all of its extra weight, we scared the babies right out of it, and realized that it was a spider the size of a baseball.
After more screaming and freaking out Brandon floods the house with a container of spider, cockroach, and any other nasty bug poison. The whole time my mom is still screaming about not killing the hugeness. In the end it died and so did all its babies.
I did feel a little sad for the poor massive momma spider until that night when I woke up 6 times from dreams about little spiders crawling all over me. All in All it was pretty eventful night and a lot of fun.

My attempt at sparkler writing. D was the only letter that would work... o and C, K's are just way to hard. To bad I don't spell my name Cayde I would be sparkler queen.

Patriotic Fingers and toes one of the best ways to celebrate the 4th of July.

Fireworks from the balcony with Marie and the Boehme's.


HAPPY 4TH OF JULY AMERICA!
