Eating My Words
This weekend Tyler and I went to St. George with Josh and Mandi. It was seriously a GREAT time! Swimming, hot-tubbing, eating, Les Miserables @ Tuacahn, driving near Zions, In-N-Out (yes...they really have one in St. George...so happy!), exploring a ghost town...and a little trail running...
Trail running? Yep. Without actual running-attire, in the middle of the day...in 106 degree weather! So, you know how I said in my last post that if ever Tyler and I were to race I would win? Ya. About that. I must now Eat My Words and admit...I did NOT win! Darn the darn.
I would like to say that it was the heat. Or, that it was beginners luck on his part. Or, we didn't wait the approved half-hour after eating. I'll keep coming up with reasons as to why I (the runner) did not beat him (the biker). But, for now, I guess he deserves the title of CHAMPION...
I wonder what will happen when we go on a bike ride together??
On our way to the ghost town...
Les Miserables @ Tuacahn
Really happy seeing Les Miserables!
Josh and Mandi
White-Trash running attire
The Champion!

The End of an Era...and the beginning of another!
#1: Today was my final day working as a Nanny for the Roney's. I have been practically part of their family...at least Monday through Friday, for the past 3 1/2 years. It seems strange that I won't be working there anymore. I have a lot of GREAT memories that I will forever cherish! Honestly, this has been a job that has stretched me in ways that I never thought possible, and I have learned a great deal more than I could have imagined when I accepted the job back in 2005. I took a huge leap of faith leaving my job at the University of Utah, but now looking back I realize it was definitely the right thing to do for me at that time.
And now, another leap of faith...I begin a new job working for The Technology Councils of North America. I am so excited for my new job! I've already gone on my first business trip. TECNA had their Fall Event last week in Chicago. It was a whirlwind of a week with a lot of information to digest, but I loved it! I'll be working from home, which will be a new adventure for me. I'm very excited to have Sheri come over for lunch now and then...now that we'll both be in Murray during lunch hours! Ahhh...just like old times. Can you say "Tuna Burgers and Chocolate Shakes?" Oh ya!!
#2: Drum roll please...I have a boyfriend! Yep, it's true. Tyler and I are, once again, dating...and finally...exclusively. You have no idea how happy I am! Seriously...if only you could see my face right now. Huge smile! What do I love about him? Hmmm...everything! The way he makes me laugh, and even the way he makes me mad. The way he challenges me, and the way he encourages me. His great ideas, and his consistancy. His hard-working nature, and his desire to be successful in all aspects of life. The fact that his butt is in better shape than mine (darn biker!), and the fact that if we had a running race I'm pretty sure I'd kick that in-shape butt...hands down!
#3: Speaking of Butt-Kicking. I totally creamed Tyler at Uno tonight. We have this (almost nightly) battle of game playing. I must confess that I generally lose. Not that I'm a loser...it just happens that Tyler has better skills (or luck...) than I do when it comes to some games. But tonight, thanks to my quick mind and amazing SKILLS (no Tyler, it wasn't luck this time), I must say (or scream) I WON!!!!! Now, not that I want to rub it in, please note that I didn't just win...I won BIG TIME!
#4: Today is my little sister's birthday! Bye bye 33. Hello 34. Happy Birthday Tina!!

My Week of Chick-Flics
Only in the order in which I viewed the movies! I seriously, NEVER watch this many movies/videos in one week. But, hey, a girl deserves a little chick-flic-ness overload now and then. Right?

Dumbest question of the day!
I went with Sheri this afternoon to Bed, Bath, & Beyond. She wanted to use her final gift certificate from her wedding. So, after combing the store and filling up her little shopping basket with several items we approached the counter to checkout. As the cashier began to scan the items he looked up at Sheri and asked, "Would you like these items put in a bag?"
I seriously had to turn around so that he wouldn't see the pure shock on my face! Seriously? Did he just ask if she wanted all 15-20 items put in a bag? Was he implying that she might want to just load them in her arms and juggle them carefully out to her car? Silly, silly boy!
At least it made me laugh, thinking of Sheri (with all of her dish towels, rug, soap dish, papertowel holder, etc.) carrying everything (individually if necessary) out to her car -- all because she was asked, "Would you like these items put in a bag?"
Thanks for inviting me to BB&B today, Sheri! Good times.

Blogging Blues
It seems I have nothing, nada, zilch to blog about!! How can that be? I feel as though my life is full of fun, adventure, drama, happiness, stress, joy...the list goes on. But, for some odd reason, I've got nothing to blog about. Hence, I've got the blogging blues. Darn the darn!
I am, however, very excited about the fact that yesterday was officially the first day of Summer. I LOVE SUMMER! I love the warmth, the fresh air, the flowers, the long daylight hours, and the feeling of knowing that it won't snow again for at least a few months. I hate being cold, therefore, hot summer days and I get along very, very well!
Welcome Summer...my best friend!
