Recap and Some Good News

So pretty much the last couple weeks have been insane (as you know) so here's a quick recap of things I might've failed to mention:

I moved from HomeTown. I had given the bank my two weeks notice before the KJo situation went down because I wanted to make sure I had time in Provo to look for a job before everyone came back for school.. so then the break up happened and 4 days later my 2 weeks was up and I was GONE.
Everyone thinks I ran away because of all the stuff that had gone down, but really it was just unplanned perfect timing. I needed to be done there. So now I'm homeless... I randomly show up in RootTown to stay with my parents or else I'll sleep on Oldest and T-dogg's couch.. so it works

Then it was off to the family reunion in Idaho! I had a BLAST with my cousins. My family is the bomb. They were super supportive of me doing what I felt was right and we just had a great time at the ranch :D It took my mind off of a TON of things

Bad news tho-- the teeter toter broke. Notice Clark looks upset.. that thing has been teetering and totering since before I was born :(

Then we had the 2nd annual Triathlon... and for some reason I attempted to Iron Man the whole thing.. which was DUMB on my part, but my cousin Kate was like we'll do it together! It'll be fun!--- that triathlon was a lot of things, but fun was not one of them... it was about a 2 mile run and then 2 mile bike ride up and down a mountain--
we only had one bike for the both of us so Kate pumped me some of the way. (look at her bod! She is a beast!!) I was a baby the entire time lol I was not in anyway fit enough for this event, but she pushed me through. Then it was the swim
you could only swim about half the time because the river was too shallow, so it was pretty much a run-under-water event. Man. It was quite an ordeal. We were the only girls that did it, so we're for sure proud of that, but we most definitely took last ha -

After that it was back to RootTown with the Fam, but I also spent a lot of time in Provo/Orem putting out applications and resumes... yada yada then wisdom teeth yada yada

Our neighbors have an indoor pool that they let us use whenever we want and man then little girls love it. They go swimming at least 3-4 times a week


I made breakfast one morning and look how the German pancakes turned out! crazy! they were massive lol and delicious :D

Ok so that was the catch up. Now this week.

First things first-- I GOT A JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D I interviewed at a couple places and I was offered a job as a part time teller! It's going to be a 15-20 minutes commute to work everyday which is NOT my favorite, but ya know what at least I have a job right??! I start the 16th. (HUGE BLESSING)

Friday was my Birthday! I am officially 21 :D I won't lie-- it was a little bit of a rough day for me. I was pretty much an emotional. It was a combination of a lot of factors, but my dad was like "Well I guess you can go get stoned now that you're 21! That'll make you feel better"... "Dad, getting stoned is illegal no matter your age..." ha ha ha he was totally joking, but it made me laugh for sure. Then later that day we went up to Heber for a family reunion (dad's side) which really was so much fun.
My cousin Ryan's birthday is the 5th, mine is the 6th, and then my grandpa's is the 8th so we had some cake and ice cream.. it ended up being a great birthday spent with my family :D

Then it was a weekend full of four-square, kick ball, card games, and soccer.
My extended families are so opposite that I love to get together with both sides because we do completely different things at each reunion-- But the things I can ALWAYS count on are Good food, Good people, and Good Times :D.

Then Saturday morning I broke away from the family fun to go to my good friend Seth's wedding in Timpanogas.. and guess who was there!!!--
SCARY! and she is looking just as beautiful as always :D She and her hubby went to the sealing and then I was there because I couldn't make it to the reception or the luncheon.. but it was SO good to see her -- oh and Seth too ;)

Welllll that's all I got for now. Sorry that was a lame update post, but this blog also doubles as a journal, so whether or not it's interesting to read, sometimes I just have to throw in a couple pics to cover the bases of life :D much love
