Life is silly! I went to the zoo with Mike! We had a great time! We saw all the cute little monkeys, the mountain goats, giraffes, the BABY ELEPHANT!, and my favorite the cute, red panda! I also went to the aquarium which was a blast..their new penguins are super cute! I get to leave on my trip in less than 2 weeks!!!! I'm so excited! Mostly to see the castle from the Love Story music video; it'll be awesome! Nashville here I come!! Let's see, this past week I house sat for one of the families I nanny...it kinda got lonely and boring and too much work, safe to say, I'm very glad to be back at home and sleeping in my own bed!
I gave Abby her scrapbook of her and Matt...I think she liked it! (I'm glad) It was sorta awkward though because Kay Lynn read it and saw where I wrote about my favorite memory with them...heart attacking a couple people...it was AWKWARD! And also she was introducing me to all of Matt's sisters-in-law which I've met on MULTIPLE occassions...I was like yeah, hi...good to see you again...haha. oh silly. I'm excited because I thought of a couple ideas for what I'm going to give her for her wed. shower...depending on the cost that is.
School is over for the semester on Sat...well that's when my final is. However, I start back up for the summer on the 17th. Stupid math.....Oh well. Hopefully I will be done with my Associates (yes, it's taken THIS long) after fall semester which will be really nice! I'm not so excited for the summer which is breaking my heart, but oh well. I hope it turns out to be a good one anyway. I'm sad I won't be able to see Mike everyday since I won't be at camp all the time anymore. I hope I don't get burned out from my other job, but I think I will. I'm really not excited for it and should never have told my boss I would do it. Not much I can do now. I guess it will be nice to get a pay check more than twice though so no complaints.
I seriously can't believe it's nearly May! I'm not ready for the school year to be over! I have no idea what I'm going to do starting in Sept. but need to figure something out! I really want to go and teach English somewhere, but I'm having a hard time figuring out where to look to do it. I think it would be such an amazing experience! Maybe I'll be able to figure it out before December! *cross your fingers! I would probably miss people and such here, but when else would I have an opportunity like that? If I can find a way to do it, I'm definitely going to! I'm going to get myself a passport coming up pretty soon so I can be a world traveler...at least know I'm allowed to leave the country. haha. anyway, here are some zoo pics!

April Already?

I can't even believe it's april already! I leave for Nashville in one month!!! And Matt and Abby are getting married super soon too! It's so extremely intense! Well lets see...the goings on in my life are crazy! I'm trying to stay caught up with school, remain a fun nanny, not kill myself over preschool, put together a present for the married couple to be, and remain alive with some kind of social life. Unfortunately I don't think the crazy is going to die down anytime soon. I decided I'm going to take at least one class during the summer, so I won't really get much of a break until next fall semester is over. :( Well one good thing that's happened lately is Mike and I went and saw The Last Song- it was soooo amazing! Or so I thought at least. (it even made Mike cry) Other than that, life has been moving insanely fast; before I know it June will be here! I'm not quite ready for that yet...I need to find a job for the fall! eek!
upcoming events: the ZOO on Saturday! I can't wait! And some bridal showers for the bff

Snowboarding

So I went snowboarding for the very first time in 21 years of Utah living on Saturday up at Park City. Can I just say I was deathly sore for about 4 days after.... Mike tried to teach me to go down the hill one way, and was unsuccessful. Turns out I'm goofy and needed to go down with my right foot first. That was much better! Except he told me to dig in with my heels, which I did, but them I fell and hit my head and I was done after that. We went to the lodge and relaxed and watched the snow fall. We had a great time, and I'm pretty sure Mike enjoyed watching me fall. Even though I'm definitely not a winter person, and I don't enjoy hurdling quickly down a mountain, I'm excited to try the boarding thing again! I'm determined to get good at it!

Weekend Adventures!

Mike and I went and saw Alice in Wonderland over the weekend! I loved it! We went with our friends Matt, Abby, and ETR. Double date + 1! haha. Before the movie, we went to dinner at Noodles with Matt and Abby; delicious! Anyway, back to the movie: I am a huge Disney, Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, and Helena Bonham Carter fan, so I knew I was bound to love this movie- however, I loved it much more than I expected! It was fun and brought a new spin to the loveable Alice story. I regret to say the only part about the movie I didn't like as much was Johnny Depp. Don't get me wrong, he is my favorite actor, but I didn't feel like he brought anything new to the character. To me, he was a mix of Willy Wonka and Jack Sparrow. I didn't feel like he was the Mad Hatter-if that makes sense. All in all though, I enjoyed the movie (oh and we even saw it in 3d...lots of fun!)
After the movie, Abby, Matt, and I did our secret project that I like to call, "secrets". It consisted of delivering secret goodies to those of whom cannot be named. Sadly they weren't home so we didn't get to have the satisfaction of knowing they were home. But hey, what can ya do? I've really enjoyed this secret business of ours because 1) I love doing service and such kind acts for people. (especially when I know they don't like me...haha) and 2) it's been fun to know I get to hang out with 2 of my best friends at least once a week. We have been having a lot of fun with this the past few weeks.
My last weekend adventure (that I would actually care to remember), was I made cheesecake for my family on Sunday! I was a little nervous because I made the recipe up in my head! Don't worry, it turned out pretty darn good if I may say so myself. I'm still trying to decide what I am going to tackle next....brownie cheesecake? Or maybe something completely different...we'll see!

big hats and taylor raps

Last night, Khemia and me decided to dress up and take pictures. We put on our beautiful dresses and then decided to add some huge hats for class. It was absolutely hilarious! We had fun modeling by our fireplace. After, since my grandma just had complete shoulder surgery, we decided we would make a video and put it on a dvd to send to her. So....we dressed up like gangstas and rapped along with T Swizzy (Taylor Swift) and T-Pain. We had a ton of fun making our Big A Chain and rapping along. We think we're so cool! Probably because we are....

In October my sister Lisa and I went to Hawaii. I absolutely loved it there! It's beautiful!
