Life update

Here's a quick update on my life so far:

I'm halfway through my CNA program. It's been really fun so far and not too hard. Yesterday I became officially CPR and First Aid certified. Oh man, my arms are so sore. We did a lot of practicing and I added up my total amount of compressions I did on a mannequin. 2,250. That's a lot of times to push real hard on a stubborn mannequin.


Next is I've been training these past two weeks for the 4th of July Freedom 5k run! My good friend Carrie really wanted me to do it with her, since that's her birthday, so I agreed to do it. At first I didn't want to, because I'm not much of a runner, but as I've been running everyday I'm actually really excited to do it. I know that a 5k isn't a big deal to some people, but to me it is. I'm also excited to get a cool free shirt and to have a fun time with my friend. Plus in order to get ready I've been trying to eat really healthy. One of the things I've been eating, or drinking I guess, is a nice green smoothie. My favorite green smoothie is one that has: Spinach, Bananas, Flaxseed, Cinnamon, Honey, Protein powder, half milk, half water. IT IS SO GOOD.

So that's basically all I've been up to besides work. Life is good and I'm glad for it. Oh, here's one last cute thing to end this post. Chelsey, my Mom, Cheri (my cousin), and I went out to eat for a girl's night out. Diesel of course came with us but was a sleep. He woke up when we were at the restaurant and had the cutest sad look on his face. If you can't tell, he has tears in his eyes. Here a few pictures I got on my iTouch. Enjoy :)

Things that happened this last month

Oops, I haven't posted on here in a while. My bad. I guess I've just been busy with all the stuff I've been doing. So, let me do a recap of everything that's happened this month and include some pictures.

1. I went on the annual Moab trip that Chelsey/Taylor and their friends on go. We had a lot of fun going repelling, hiking, rafting, camping, and eating good food. Plus, I got to spend a whole lot of time with baby Diesel. Awww yeah!

2. Went on a cute date with my nephew Railay. We had a lot of fun playing superheroes, watching a movie and going to his favorite place, McDonalds (yuck!)

3. Had a girl's day out with my sisters where we went to the Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival and had a picnic. 

4. I had my 20th birthday. Woo! I got a cool pop-up tent, a nice sleeping bag, and then got to go to REI and get some more stuff dealing with outdoor adventures. 

5. I saw the Avengers movie and it was THE BEST. Man, I need to see it again soon cause I forget how much I loved that movie when I saw. 

6. I went on a trip to a cabin at Brighton Ski Resort and that was a lot of fun. It snowed like 1 1/2'' on us, maybe even 2 feet. It was really beautiful up there.

6. Now for the best news ever. I'M AN AUNT OF 17. My sister Lindsey and sister Britt had their babies and they're both little girls!! They are so adorable!! Lindsey's girl is named Catalina and Britt's is named Izzy. I love them so much and I can't wait till them and their two other cousins their age, Diesel and Marshall, are older and can be the four musketeers. If you haven't noticed, I really love babies, especially my nieces and nephews.

7. I'm starting my CNA program today. I'm pretty excited to do it and I'm also excited to wear scrubs. Don't know why, but I have a weird fascination with them. 

7. Don't know why I haven't posted it up on here yet, but I'M GOING TO EUROPE IN FOUR MONTHS. AAAAHHHHHHH!!!! My mom and I are going on a cruise to Italy in October! We'll first fly to Venice, Italy and stay there for a day. Then the cruise ship takes off from there and goes to: Koper, Slovenia, Split, Croatia, Dubrovnik, Croatia, Messina, Sicily, Naples, Italy, and ends at Rome, Italy. We'll then stay in Rome for three or so days to see everything there is to see. BUT OH MAN. You don't even realize how excited I am for this! I've always dreamed of going to Italy and when my mom told we that we were going, I literally screamed out loud and had tears in my eyes, cause I was so happy. So, I can't wait till that happens cause then I'll have something really cool to post on my blog.

Okay, I think that's the most part of what's happened this past month besides working a bunch. I'll post some pictures and hopefully remember to post more often.

My cool repelling shot down the crack. (This wasn't photoshopped or 
anything, just to let you know)

Taylor's cool repelling shot. (Chelsey went down to 
fast for me to get one of her)


Here we are after playing an intense drinking game consisting of
6 kool-aid jammers, 6 water bottles, 1 martinelli (a weird watermelon lemonade one), 
a really gross V8 fusion drink, and two big flavored water drinks. We then had a competition
on who could hold their bladders the longest. It lasted for 2 1/2 hours. Kylie (on the left) won.

Taking a nice walk on/around the lake.


I thought this was a cool cabin. I like the colors.

Here I am with lil' Marshall on the girl's day out.

Baby Catalina! Look at that adorable smile!

Baby Izzy! Look at that cute dress and that little face!
