Some things.

I'm in Logandale for the time being and I recently got a job at Wally's. Yes, you read that right. Wally's. I actually really like it so far, (even though we have to wear the ugggliest shirts ever). It will only be for the next few months and I'm really lucky and grateful to have a job! It's less than five minutes away, so that's a really nice feature as well. :)

I'm back in the good ole' Logandale Singles Branch. This place is something else, but it's good to be back for the next bit. I got my old calling back (teaching Relief Society), which I love. And I just love President Leavitt. It's nice to be here.

Other than my business life at Wally's, I've been spending all of my time cleaning out/fixing up my mother's scrapbook/sewing/hobby room. I really wish I would have taken a before picture. If you haven't seen it, it looked a lot like this... only it had some really hideous wallpaper as well. Or.. have you ever seen the television show called Hoarders? Enough said. It's still a long work in progress, but I think it will be worth the time. I'll be sure to post some before (sort of) and after pictures.

I'm so excited for General Conference. What a lovely weekend.

I say let them eat cake!

Just kickin' it with the missionaries.

It's official. I applied to BYUi on September 2nd, and on September 7th I was notified that I have been accepted! Here I come BYUi!

This Labor Day weekend... I went to the lake! with Ashley, Kyle, Justine, Wade and Geoff. We enjoyed a nice day that included swimming, tubing, cliff jumping, yummy snacks and good company. It was also Dad's birthday! He turned the big 55! We celebrated with some peach cobbler. Here are some pictures of us at the lake.

Happy Birthday to this Stud! I can't believe my little brother is 15! Sometimes I wish time could just stop. But at the same time, I can't wait to watch him grow older and see what he becomes. Things I love about Landon:

He's a sweetheart.
He is funny and fun loving.
He can always answer any question I have about sports.
When he laughs or smiles his eyes disappear.
He isn't afraid to hug me in public.
He is respectful.
He keeps life lighthearted.
And he's my brother!

Happy Birthday Lan! I love you! Hope you have a good one!

It's THIS beauty's BIRTHDAY today! Happy Birthday TIBI! She's sweet 16 and I can't believe it. I'm so sad that they are growing up, and so glad that they are part of the family... (the babies). I miss you Tib! I miss laughing with you. I love you so much!

Mom, Dad and Landon came to visit! It was really nice to have them here. On Pioneer Day we went to the Mormon Battalion Center in Old Town and Jeff, Lisa and Marc came along. That was really cool. They just remodeled the whole place and it's really nice, fun and interesting. It was very interactive. They had pictures that talked and told the stories. It was kind Disneyland-ish. They had an outside area where you could pan for gold and play the fiddle. Landon and I partook in that. After that we ate some Mexican food in Old Town and went to an old fashion candy shop. On Monday Landon and I went to the beach. It was really overcast, but we laid out and played with the sand a bit. Then we decided to give the cold water a try. It was cold. We had a lot of fun getting in and and playing in the waves though. The waves were breaking right on the beach so it was really easy to get taken out by them even in knee deep water. We body surfed in the shallow water for a while. We got a little bruised from that but we had a ton of fun laughing our heads off. Can't wait until they come again!

Looks like we would have made a great addition to the Mormon Battalion!
