Lehi Round-up

So Laura and I went to a rodeo in Lehi on Friday night with her ward. It was lots of fun. I went the week before to the Strawberry Days Rodeo in Pleasant Grove and that was my first rodeo ever! It was a great time filled with lots of different events: horse bucking, cattle roping, barrel rides, and of course the bull riding!! It was fun but I think I have had my fill of the rodeo for a while!

In this event they work in teams of two to rope a cow by its head and foot.

The bull riding!! This is after the guy got off the bull and they are trying to round it back up. Yeah for the rodeo!! It was lots of fun. :)

Eight Random Facts

I was tagged like forever ago by my sister-in-law to do this but i kept putting it off. I have decided to finally do it, partly because my camera is not working at the moment and so I haven't posted pictures or anything in forever! So here are eight random facts/habits about myself.

1. I hate the mornings (although I have gotten much better since my mission). I dont like to be spoken to or even eat breakfast in the same room as someone else!
2. I was on the swim team. I swam some in middle school and also in high school. I also swam in the off season and worked for my swim coach as a lifeguard and swim teacher. So I spent many years in the water and I loved it! (I need to get back into doing it so I can get back into shape!!) My senior year towards the end of the season I got sick and was unable to complete the swim season which was really hard on me because I missed all the big competitions but I have many fond memories of swimming, the girls, and my coach.
3. I love music. All kinds. I love listening to music and I used to love playing it! Now i don't even know if I could play the saxophone its been so long! I love the way music can affect you and change your mood.
4. I am a middle child but I don't usually feel like one because I am the oldest of the girls so I feel like the oldest.
5. I love white chocolate kit-kat bars.
6. I have a bad temper. I get annoyed and frustrated easy. I also am not one to get in a fight with because I can hold a grudge and be mean. I am not proud of this and have been trying for a long time to change. In my defense I dont like fighting with people and try to resolve conflicts quickly otherwise it just stews.
7. I dream of living in Africa. I have wanted to for a very long time. I want to live in a little village and ride the elephants for transportation! I dont know if I would last a long time there but I would like to do it for a short period of time.
8. I love kids! I have 6 super cute nephews and finally I have a niece on the way!! I am glad my mom did day care while I was growing up. I learned lots and fell in love with lots of great kids.

The Trusty Car

After many many MANY years of loyal friendship, companionship, and durability it was finally time to say goodbye and part ways with the 1991 Chevy Cavalier. It lived a full life, traveling many miles (over 250,000..the odometer stopped working) and spent the remainder of its days in Provo, Utah (it couldn't go any further). We will surely miss our favorite car.

Laura was very sad to part with it...she spent the last year by its side.

Stake Activity

On Friday night I went to Laura's Stake Activity and it was so much fun! They had lots of activities and there was good company.

Me, Laura, and Jessica in a hot air balloon!! This is what got us to the activity in the first place and then all it was was a short ride straight up and then back down :( ... but it was still fun.

Laura and I!!

A group of us by the bon fire where there was music and smores. Don't worry Laura skipped the graham cracker and just put the roasted marshmallow between two pieces of chocolate!
