And then...AND THEN

Sorry about all of these pictures. I wish they would have turned out a little bit clearer but I still haven't found the battery charger for my camera so I am forced to use my phone.

This is the Honduran frame that Whitney gave me. It symbolizes Whitney looking at all of us from far away. She is the girl on the left ;)

This is the new and improved living room. I think Sara's quilt looks perfect!

All of the Nativity sets and the "JOY" blocks.

GO COUGS!

It's gonna be a huge game in the Mountain this week and I am so excited! I really hope to see BYU win it like last year, but I won't be as disappointed because it will be fun to see a Utah team go undefeated. Best of luck to both.
I'm thinking the final score will be 21 BYU - 17 Utah

This is in response to Morgan's Blog.

All the decorations I have you can see in the living room picture, the shelf with LOVE blocks.

My New Home

This is the new Condo that Mom and Dad bought here in Cedar. (This isn't the actual one, I stole it from a Real Estate site.) Mom and Dad came down on Tuesday and moved me in.

The Bathroom before the move in.

This is the pretty quilt that Mom made me.

Our lovely kitchen, made loverly by Sara.

The living room with the couches and Dad's homemade entertainment center ;)

I was so caught up in all the other fun excitement I almost forgot to post a picture of my new special gift..
As you know (if you read Mom's blog) I got a new car this week!
Mom was right, I only truly mourned on the way up to Ogden...

Thank you Mom and Dad... It's such a cute little car, you're going to have fun driving it on your trip down here next week..

Look Familiar?

I was typing at my computer at my job at the hotel when Alex, the cutest 13 year old you would ever see, IMed me. We talked about life and school and stuff. I then mentioned that I was going to SUU and that it was doing great. He then typed back that he was conviently vacatoining in Enoch(It is due north one mile from Cedar City.) He was visiting his grandma on his dads side. We tried to arrange a get together but I was at work until midnight. Alex was severely bummed. Word was getting around the Enoch home that I was in town. Alex asked me if he could visit me during work but I declined by noting that my boss said "No visiters." Alex had a brilliant idea.
Alex's idea was to "ask me about room rates and such." I was thinking, how could someone so attractive be so smart? Nevertheless, We followed throught with the plan. The Waller's arrived at the Econo Lodge about twenty minutes after he signed off. I was taken by surprise because I thought that Alex was just merely kidding about this whole thing. Alex and his family walked in and asked with a smile on their face,"is there vacancy?" I replied," No we are full for the night." We then launched into a converation about college life and the future. I took their picture shortly before they left to Wally Land. I then posted it on this page. The Waller's are leaving tommorow to the Air Force Acadamy to drop Jack off. Then they will go north to Cheyenne and head west to Ashton, Idaho where the Baums reside.

Utah Summer Games started this week in Cedar City... So it's become one happening town! Opening Ceremonies were on Thursday. Every mascot from Utah was there, I'm pretty sure. (Reminded me of the fight we got to witness at the the BYU Ballroom competitions a few years ago.) The Jazz Bear came in on a huge zipline and had roller blade wheels on his feet so he sped around the track, it was "pretty freakin' awesome" as Tennyson would say.
Then they had some amazing fireworks, I was surprised that they lasted longer than ten minutes, I'm so used to Orangeville Days... Although, I did miss the Dance Raja Dance in the background... "Arta pa chenda, no ta pa chenda"...

Later that week I had the privilege of working at Econo Lodge on the busiest night of the year. Because it was so busy the hotel was quite rowdy, a lot of teams.. A couple came in about nine, rented a room and went straight to their room wanting to go to bed. Ten minutes after they got in I got a phone call from them saying that kids were being loud, I told them I would ask them to be quiet, which I did, and she said okay. Four calls later from the same woman with the same complaint I looked up at my security camera and two men were in the upstairs hallway talking to each other standing extremely close to each other. I get a call for front desk and a lady is screaming "I'm calling the cops, there is gonna be a fight up here!" I jump over the front desk and book it upstairs.. These men are yelling so loud at each other... By the time I get up there, and of course everyone and their dog is standing out in the hallway, I get to see the first punch thrown. Yes, imagine two men rolling around in a hotel hallway, their wives screaming at them all because it wasn't quiet at nine in the evening. The cops showed up a few seconds later and had to haul the two guys off to jail. One man was a coach of the number one Soccer team down here, and the other was a biker on his way to Zion.

Here's a video of some of the cool fireworks we had.

My snowboarding trip up at Brianhead...

I had tons of fun. Except I got horribly sunburned and whiplashed. I was going down the big run and started to gain a lot of speed, and since this was only my third time I wasn't too good at stopping. I hit a rough patch and went flying, face first.. It was brutal, and the worst part was hearing everyone going up the ski lift say "DAAAAANGGG, that had to hurt"... Oh well, guess it happens to everyone.

After our little adventure with Leslie's Singled Out party, Noah, Zack and I decided to relax by going to the Nickelcade. Obviously Zack was frustrated and needed to take out some of his anger through killing in video games because he was denied a date with his cousin.

Zack's true calling in life.. just teasing, but surprisingly enough he killed every enemy.

Speed Demon


Zack won all of those with one lucky hit. Then Noah got jealous so he decided to give it a try.


Ain't that special?

What the?!

Noah's prizes.

Andrew is weird........sometimes

Madison and Leslie are just weird


I love Meran!

This is Gabe's response to the question "How was your Valentine's Day?" I assume he's being a heart....a very cute one!

Peace Out!
