The Weekend

So I am really bad at keeping up with my blog. I need to push myself to keep writing on here. I have so many stressful events going on in my life and I find "blogging" helps me deal with it all. So you would think that I would keep up with it..oh well.

On Friday (May 28) I had to go into the dentist to get eight cavities filled. Okay, I brush and floss many times a day and I still manage to have eight cavities. But these were in between my teeth instead of down in the tooth. The dentist had to go in and move all the surrounding teeth for each cavity. This resulted in me laying in this uncomfortable chair for 2 1/2 hours with my mouth open, not able to close it I might add. After wards and since then, I have had chronic pain and I am unable to chew hard food. It's been a struggle for me.
Saturday the family went up to Day Break in SL County for my Uncle Clays first triathlon. Well in order to get there in time we had to get up at 6:30 a.m. and I'm not a morning person at all, another struggle. Clay ended up doing an AMAZING job and completed with a time of 1 hr 39 min 45 sec. It was such a great experience to be as a family supporting him in this. He has been training for so long and it was such an inspiration to watch him complete a goal, a not so easy goal I might add. GO CLAY!!!!

After taking a long nap, I had to work 8 hours the rest of Saturday and then go back to work the following day. Phew a busy weekend. Then today the family got together to have a little bbq for Memorial Day. It was really fun to just sit down and have a nice meal with the family. It's not to often that we get to sit around the dinner (lunch) table together and talk. I love my family.

To put a cherry on top, todays weather was beautiful! Actually felt like summer was on its way.

Lately

So I kind of haven't written on here in awhile...a few things have happened since my last post.

My cousin Kodei had his end of year choir concert at Diamond Fork Junior High School at the beginning of this week. I took my roommate Erin with me because she was wanting to meet my adorable little cousins Kodei, Chyanne, and Bailly. Kodeis concert was so good. He has a lot of kids in his choir that have amazing voices, of course, he has the best! :) The kids decided to take my camera and have fun taking pictures of random things.
. Then my roommate Erin and I decided it would be fun to make home-made cookies. We went to the grocery store, bought all of the ingredients, got back to the apartment, started mixing the ingredients together. I put my first batch in the oven and about 8 minutes later checked on them...they weren't rising, just getting bigger and bigger. I can't really explain how crazy they looked, but here are some pictures of those nasty cookies...
Yesterday I was able to go hang out with my one of my best friends in the world Shalisa. We both have such busy schedules that we barely get to see each other. The last time I had saw her was in February. Well we went out to eat, went to Ross and tried on clothes, went and got Roxberry smoothies, then took pictures for the rest of the night. It was so nice to see her again and be able to just relax and finally have fun again.

Imagine

So I admit that I have been very negative in my past few postings. I have been very overwhelmed with everything with school and my infection. But right now, this very moment, I feel great! I just keep smiling today and it feels really good. I like being happy!
