So much to write, so little time...

So much to write about, so little time... Ahhh, life is crazy, isn't it? Well, I'm going to try and do a quick overview of the last 2 months. Starting on the activities of July 18th. Well, first of all, I'm still working at Sec Met full-time. I like it for the most part, and it pays me well, so I really have no complaints about that. I'm also still doing Landscaping with my bro., and I love that. I just like feeling that I'm physically accomplishing something, even if it is just mowing lawns. Now, for the fun stuff. The 18th of July was a blast. Suzy and I got a group of people together and we had a party at her house. We played Twister, Curses, the M&M Game, drank "Mock-aritas", threw M&M's at each other, and then crashed in the living room to watch National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets. I had a blast. I love playing games and just having fun, so it was a great night.

Saturday, we got a group of us together and had dinner at Cafe Rio then we went and watched Batman. At dinner, it was just me and five guys, so you can imagine what kind of conversation happened there. Luckily, other girls came to watch the movie with us. We had a group of about 15 for the movie. I have to admit that I liked the movie, but it was a little too dark for me. I guess I just don;t like seeing the dark and disturbed part of humans. I just have a hard time with it. I must say though, that Heath Ledger did an amazing job as the Joker. I was quite impressed with his acting skills. All in all though, it was a very fun night.

So, on the 23rd I got my hair cut. Now it really wasn't that much, just about 4 inches, but I pretty much freaked out. I liked it at first, then my sister reacted to it, and then I started thinking that it was too short, and I felt like I had made a mistake. I have to say that I was being a ridiculous girl. I'm one of those girls that hates the girls that give us a bad name, but I acted like one for a night. Anyway, to make a long story short, I love my hair now. I love the layers, and the cut, and it's actually kind of nice to have it a little shorter.

On the 25th I went to a Bee's game with Blaine and Greg. I forgot how much fun it was to go to a real baseball game. The atmosphere is so cool, and I would so much rather be at a live baseball game, then watch it on TV. This was also the day that I realized that I will probably never understand men. They say girls are hard to read, but I say that they are just as confusing. At least most of them. Oh well, you live and learn right?

On the 26th Mona had their celebration, and I participated in the Talent show. I, of course, sang, and I ended up taking first place. It was a good experience, and I love performing in front of people. That night we had fireworks, and I have to admit that for such a small town, we sure put on a good fireworks show. Although, I bet that a large majority of our town budget pays for that. I don't care though. At least not right now. I love fireworks, and I love Mona so it was a good night.

The very next morning I went to register for American Idol (YAY!) It was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. I was expecting a huge line for registration, but I just walked in, and then got my papers and left. On Tuesday, I woke Up at 3 am (ugh) in order to get to SLC on time, by 5am. I really wish I had slept in longer because I didn't even need to be there that early, even though they told me I had to be in line at 5, liars... Anyway, I waited until 3:45pm to audition, and let me just say that it was a great experience, but I will most likely never do it again. I actually have a little less respect for Idol now because of the way they treated the whole situation. It was a lot of fun though. I got to do some really cool stuff, and now I can say that I did it. No regrets!!!

We had a party at Blaine's in Mona on August 2nd, which was a blast. Obe fo the things I love doing is watching movies outside, which is one of the things we did at Blaine's. It's just fun, and in Mona you can see all of the stars above you ahhh... Just thinking about it makes me happy.

Now, I'm not certain if this is my favorite activity this summer, but it has to be at the very top. Suz, Crow, Clay and I went to Lagoon on the 8th. It was a blast. All of us went on the Skycoaster, which is the ride that pulls you up to the very top, then you pull the rip cord and fall straight down. SO COOL!!! I then talked Suzy into going on the catapult with me. That ride is so much fun. They strap you into this big red ball then shoot you into the sky with 3 g's of force. It is so much fun. I have some pics, but they don't really give you the whole experience. I ended up buying the video of us, but its on old school VHS so once I get it moved to DVD, I'll put it on here so everyone can see how funny it is!

On the 16th I got a group together and we went to Applebee's for dinner and then we went to Trafalga. We raced on the GoKart track, and of course I lost. Suzy tried to cut me off, but she came in too soon and I totally t-boned her. We were stuck until one of the guys came and helped us out, but we both lost pretty bad. We also went to the batting cages and hit 50 pitches each. Well, lets be honest. I probably only hit about 20 of my 50, if that. The light above me wasn't working, and honestly, Softball isn't my favorite sport. I used to be good at it, but then I stopped playing when I was 13 and started playing tennis.

Anyway, back on track, I sang in my ward on the 17th since I moved into a new place. It was kind of a "goodbye to you" kinda thing. Lol! I am really going to miss my bishopric though, and the stake presidency. They are both great!

I started moving out of apartment on the 27th, and let me just tell you all that I have way more crap than I realized. Moving took forever, and I had to put a ton of stuff in storage. I love my new apartment though, and my roommates seem pretty cool. Two of them are volleyball players just like me, which is so exciting!!!

Well, that's my synopsis of the last two months. I promise that from now on I will post more often. The reason I didn't before is because I didn't have internet at my apartment, but now I do, s I promise to post at least once a week!!!
