Busy

I wish I could tell you that I have been endlessly busy, and just haven't had the time to post.

But, that would be a lie.

I have been busy in a sense, I've just been doing lots and lots of fun things. This past week was Strawberry Days. Words cannot express how much I utterly love Strawberry Days. First off, it's right around the time of my birth, which makes for some good birthday fun, and second, who doesn't love the Strawberry Days rodeo? Also, City of fun/scum carnival can be pretty fun, although I am constantly worried about getting kidnapped while I attend, but hey, it's all part of the fun right?

Funny story about creeps trying to kidnap people: Me and Clari were driving home in the wee hours of the night after seeing Green Lantern-which by the way is uber cheesey-I finally arrived at her home and started to pullover when she spotted a creepy man lying on her sidewalk. So she screamed at me to keep driving and not pull over. I did just that. In the rear view mirror we saw him stand up and attempt to walk. Clari, being super afraid and almost in tears called Ammon who just so happened to be driving home himself, plus he was about 10 seconds away from her house. He came over and scared the guy off. Talk about lucky. And that's alll I have to say about that. (movie reference)

I went to a delightful restaurant called Roll Up Crepes with my awesome brother. It is divine. Please please please go there. I really want them to stay in business and it is seriously absolutely delicious. The menu consists of crepes. Dessert and Savory ones at that. Plus, there is a large tree in the middle of the building. So great. It's right off State St. in Provo, right past the University Mall. There is a huge Owl in the front. You can't miss it. Just go, I promise you will not be disappointed. .

I saw 17 Miracles and bawled like a baby through the whole thing. It was beautiful.

Well, I will probably post some pictures of my adventures this past week sometime soon, but. for now, words will just have to work.

That's all for now.

The future

For lack of a better post, I have decided to write about what I want most in a guy. I have been thinking about love a lot lately, mostly because I recently joined a Singles ward. Fun stuff. There are so many characteristics that I would love my future husband to have, I will name just a few: (sorry, here comes another bullet list...)
  • Returned missionary, with an unwavering testimony. That is of the utmost importance.
  • I want him to love me, for who I am, and not want me to change one thing about myself.
  • He should be kind to his family, especially his mother. You can tell a lot about a guy by the way he treats his mother.
  • If he is fond of Nature and hiking, that would be oh so great.
  • Please bless he is neat and organized, to compensate for my forgetfulness.
  • If he cooks, that's a huge plus.
  • Hilarious, he NEEDS to be able to make me laugh.
  • Lets hope he is smart. I like smart people, I also like "fix it" men. They seem to get a lot done.
  • It would be cool if he was good at taking pictures.
  • If he likes the names: William, Jack, Claire, Lily, and River, then we are set.
  • I want to be able to sing with him. Even if we both sound horrible.
  • He should have his own interests. That would be pretty neat.
  • Kind and generous. Those are great qualities.
  • Looks. It's not extremely important, but lets hope he can rock some plaid. 
Where am I going to find this man? I wish I had an answer. I know someone is out there just for me. Whether or not he fits this criteria is unknown, but we will find each other some day, of that I am sure.
Anyway, just thought I'd share.


Things

This is what my day consisted of:
  • sleep
  • more sleep
  • laying out on the trampoline
  • cleaning
  • showering
  • roasting marshmallows at Anderson Park
  • Playing 'Things' and 'Battle of the Sexes' at Cole's
  • Going to Lindon Park, and getting kicked out by the Cops
  • Eating two delicious Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers. mmm....

Sum Sum Summer

It's summer folks. Mostly this year, my summer will consist of work, and maybe some more work. The days already seem so long. . Don't get me wrong, I love where I work-there are some pretty awesome people there, but it just doesn't compare to going to the PG Pool every day, or chalking the BK or just being lazy with the best friends. I have to keep telling myself, "at least I'm getting paid" because that really is the only reason that I am working. None of this "you need to learn responsibility, or you have to much time on your hands" junk. I just need money.

If any of you guys know me, you know that I love wearing sandals. Not the Forever Young cute sandals, I mean, those are great too. But nothing compares to the I-look-like-a-dork-wearing-these-but-I-don't-care-because-they-are-waterproof-and-comfortable-sandals. Phew. Well, I no longer have to look like a dork thanks to these bad boys!


Don't you just love them?
I will miss my Teva's, but I could not have given them up to a sandal less worthy than these Chacos. My life is complete with them, and I look forward to getting a sweet tan line.

Anyway, wow, this is an uncharacteristically long post for me. I will end with this: Make this summer, a summer to remember. Don't have any regrets. Do all the things that you want to do. Make time for family, and for your savior. They will guide you. They will help you.

Well, I'm off to work. Wish me luck!

New

Well, I decided to create a new blog! Yay.
I promise that I will be much more faithful in posting on this new and improved blog. Much has happened since we last spoke. I graduated! Ahhh! It has not fully set in yet, I'm still in a blur. I really am going to miss so many wonderful people, but I cant wait to see what is in store for me in the future. I love you all. Really. I do. Till next time then.

Also, I recently saw X-men: first class. I have a weak spot for James McAvoy. He is spectacular. I challenge all of you to see it.
