What U Get

August 28, 2011

I am having a ponder moment tonight. Tonight while I was listening to my Backstreet Boy Pandora station as I was driving home from Heber, it played Britney's What U Get--I hadn't heard it in forever--and as I was listening to it--the thought crossed my mind that I am what I am...and I can't really change that. Forgive me as I have a relive my teenage years moment by listening to Britney...

I've been dating a lot of different guys in the last year or so--and as I've reflected on it--I am me. And that is who I am...and it is pretty much the way it is. I can't change who I am from each relationship--but--I can learn and become better from each one. But--I have learned this about myself: I am this spontaneous girl who loves to have fun and learn at the same time. And I like the way I am...

Really--I can only become better, right? Maybe that is what it is all about--liking who you are and working to become even better. Hopefully someday one lucky man will realize that :)

Anyway--maybe I'm tired and my pondering is off...but just food for thought.

Journey!

July 21, 2011

My friends Dorothy and Shannee and I decided we needed to go to the Journey concert at Rio Tinto this summer. I love LOVE Journey! It was a great concert live!

Foreigner opened for them and I knew a few of their songs. But I knew most of Journeys--thanks to growing up in the 80's. It was a pretty amazing concert!

Donut Falls With Gabe

July 20, 2011

My friend Gabe and I got two hikes in this summer--a new record for us. We usually get just one! We decided to hike to Doughnut Falls because he'd never been there before. So--we went. It was so wet! The water levels were high.

Playing With Will

July 15, 2011

Since I was up at Will's so late watching Harry Potter, his parents had me spend the night in their guest room. Will and I got to play some the next day. We drove his family's Ranger up the mountain behind his house. And we saw sooo much snow still! It was insane.

I got some neat pictures of it though!

Will was admiring the snow. 

It was all over the place.

It was a fun morning! I love exploring nature!

St. George and Zions

July 13-14

My friend Ruth Ann and I work at the same school and we decided it would be good to get away. She had gotten a free hotel room for teacher appreciation, and she decided to take me (partly because it was my room before she got it--it was one of those games where you trade things around...). So we went down.

On the way, we stopped in Cedar City and watched a play for the Shakespeare Festival. We saw a play that was not related to Shakespeare at all. But--it was hilarious! It was called  Noises Off! It was a play within a play.

Then we went to St. George. We found our hotel and we had dinner at the Thai restaurant there. Their Thai food is my favorite. We then went to play on the Red Rock.

 The next day we got up and went to Zions National Park. I have my park pass still and have been burning a hole in my pocket to go and use it. So--we did. And it was beautiful!

We ended up hiking the Emerald Pool trail. It was absolutely breathtaking.

I would have liked to have stayed longer n the park, but while we were there, I was invited to go and see Harry Potter opening that night with my friend Will in Kamas. So, we left so I could make it up there by midnight. 

It was a nice little getaway.
