2011

It has been so long since I've updated my blog I thought it was time to give a little rundown of the year so far. It has been busy and fun! Here is a brief rundown of what I've been up to. In January I went to Boise for a cabin weekend with some friends from home. It was up in Garden Valley. We had a lot of fun and went snowmobiling. I even drove the snowmobile (which I wasn't going to do) but I did pretty well. The morning after I got home from Boise, my sister had slept over at my apt and I woke up at 5 am to my sister coming in my room and telling me to get out of bed because there was water everywhere. Sure enough our apartment was flooding. A fire sprinkler in our utilities closet had malfunctioned and was pouring water from the fire lines above. All the fire alarms were going off in the hallways. About 6 fire trucks showed up and it took them at least 30 minutes to get it turned off. As you can imagine this was actually terrible and since we live on the 3rd floor of our complex it flooded all the way through to the parking garage. What a disaster. This resulted in us being almost homeless for the next month and a half. I am so glad that is over. Fortunately, I had a trip to Disneyland with some friends from work scheduled for the middle of February. Nothing like the happiest place on earth! We went to California Adventure which was fun too. But I definitely do not like the Tower of Terror and do not understand why everyone else loves it!
We hoped to come to get a little winter sunshine, which we did (keyword "little"). It rained the majority of the weekend, but it was so much fun despite that!

We went to the Joshua Radin concert at the beginning of March. He is so great! Laura Janssen opened up for him and she is a really good artist too. I would look her up if you don't know her.

In March, my friend Brooke came to visit. We had a fun weekend shopping, eating good food, watching good movies, and catching up with some of our old friends and roommates.
At the beginning of this month, some friends in my ward and I went to the Jazz vs. Lakers game in Salt Lake. We had terrible seats which I will take credit for but it was such a fun game. The Lakers won obviously. This last weekend I was able to go to Declo with my family for my niece Brynlee's baptism. I can't believe she's so grown up. That was fun to be able to have a short little reunion with my sisters and parents. I love my family!
2011 has been a great year so far and so many more great things are coming soon. I will be moving to Orem in about a week and am excited for that change. There is a sweet clubhouse where I'm moving and I'm sure you will hear more about that. Also as a side note before I end this post. A group in my ward did a 3 month fitness competition starting in January where we were supposed to make a change to our body that we had been wanting too. We each put $5 dollars in and there was a male and female winner. I won for the girls after losing 10 pounds. Thanks. I was pretty proud of myself too. Until next time.
