as of lately.

I think one of my least favorite parts of blogging is creating a title for my blog.

Some people are super creative and funny. Mine are always dumb.

Now that I've pointed it out it's probably all people will focus on when they read but whatever.

SO I'm just going to catch up on my life, minus the Cali trip.

Only because I have no pictures to show you how awesome it was.

This year the pool did a pirate float. I was designated the mermaid. Originally the plan was to wrap me around a pole at the front. So glad that didn't happen.

Best girls ever.

Bridal showers are so risque. Although this was the most fun I've ever had.

After the bridal shower we slept on the pool floor.

Sometimes you are lucky enough to work with girls like this.

Oh just another hiking picture. I promise it's not all I do.

I love Bethany. She is almost a replica of me. She was game for doing all the same things as me. like going on 26 k Bike rides and hiking every chance we could.

At the pool I got EXTREMELY bored. So I decided to make friendship bracelets to speed up the time. Because of this I didn't play solitaire for OVER a week. I don't think anyone understands how big of a deal that was. Except for maybe one family that comes into the pool regularily and would always tease me about playing solitaire. They were so proud of me when they found out I was going on a solitaire fast and would ask me everyday if I had played and then give me a high five and encouraging words when I told them I hadn't. I loved my support team.

I also love friendship bracelets. I've made so many.

Embarrassing story time.

We were going hot tubbing and it was dark outside. There were 5 boys already in the hot tub and no girls yet. I was the first one ready to enter the waters. I already felt super awkward as I dropped my towel and felt like everyone's eyes were on me as I walk over.

So I want to make it less painful and get into the water ASAP.

Next thing I know I'm doing a face plant into the water.

Apparently there was about a 8 inch gap between the porch and hot tub and one foot fell right thru leaving me with that lovely bruise. And the other was on the hot tub which helped me stay up but resulted in my face plant. It was AWESOME.

There you have it.

Utah trip in point formish

I went to utah this weekend and it was

I'll just give you a little outline of the journey.

• We left at 9:30 at night. It's about an 11 hour trip. YIKES.
• I got to drive the 1-4 shift. Let me tell you. Never chew grapes 25 times because they become bitter and grimy like. Celery is okay though.
• You can drive super fast at night because there are no cops out in the wee hours of the morning.
• I have a hate love relationship with GPS. Sometimes they save your life. Other times theytell you to turn left into a farmers field. Whattt??
• Utah is beautiful. Went on 2 hikes and it was fabulous.
• Sometimes things don't turn out as awesome as you thought. I was really excited for an event. It came and it went and I didn't even care because it wasn't really that great.
• 1.60 all you can pile up frozen yogurt at mavericks is a must do for every trip.
• Sometimes the GPS gets you lost. But it's the best kind of lost cause you see amazing things you wouldn't have other wise.
• It's really weird to call previous missionaries by their first names. It's not natural.
• Chicken and cheese is cheaper in the states and it's necessary to find a walmart late atnight and buy them. And an apple just because you feel like it.
• 150 songs is more then enough to get you to utah without repeating.
• Being relaxed and spontaneous is key for a trip.
• We planned on leaving utah at 8 on monday. But then decided to go hiking and leave at 11. But then we decided that we needed to go shopping. So we didn't
  leave till 3. Which meant we got home at 3. Call us crazy.
• It should be a sin to not play cards on Sunday. I will never tire of it.
• Missionary homecomings are the best.
• Oh and my life is the best.
• The End.

I was going to do one big post on why I love my home but it would just be to long.

So I think I'll just do some blog updates like everyday?

I'm sure no one will complain with that.

First off: The hike that was awesome that we didn't plan on doing.

We had originally planned on Chief, that fell thru.

So we went with Akamina Ridge, but there was to much snow at the top still.

So we settled on Avion Ridge.

We started hiking and were looking for a campground that was suppose to be 8km into the hike.

After a long discouraging 2 hours of trying to find that campsite we decided we must not be on the right trail.

And we weren't!

But that's okay because the hike we went on was still beautiful and 26 km!

There was a waterfall that led down into the snow. So it created a tunnel and we crawled inside.

My knees were dead by the end. It felt like I had a giant bruise on the back of my leg and people were being cruel and pushed on it every time I took a step.

That didn't stop me from going on a little hike the next day though.

It was only about a kilometer long, but a step incline.

We sat on top for 3 hours looking at the stars and making our own constellations.

It's weekends like that where I'm convinced I love Canada and don't want to live anywhere else.

I know the city has a lot of advantages but I just need to live some place close to the moutains.

I just don't know if I can live without them?
