i see...

I have been busy this past week. Let's review:

Wednesday 15- mission call
Thursday friday and saturday- river trip to jackson hole with friends.
saturday- homecoming of robert my friend. he was in russia.
monday- i finished my senior year of pictures for scrapbooking. (that sentence didn't make any sense.
tuesday- my mom stayed home from work.
wednesday- 2 for 1 tacos in ogden. and park city!!! some shopping. and the alpine slide and coaster. and a caramel apple to take home!!! i love park city.

So the river trip was a grand ole time. We drove up thursday morning. I really like camping. On Friday we went down the river. I had to leave early on Saturday so I couldn't go down again. But i took some pictures. We were in the car. Cause that is where my camera was the whole trip. We got stuck in the construction for ever. So this is on the way to the river. Enjoy....

















Aren't they just lovely people?












Robert was so glad that we put are feet on the
seat.




















Derrick was the driver. He was all sorts of stressed out cause of the construction traffic....

And thats todd next to the giant cowboy boot....

There were a few more pictures...i'm sure you wanted to see them. maybe later.

oh yeah. and i'm still going on a mission!! mmhmm. its kinda feels sureal to believe its actually happening. I was not expecting to go there or around that area. Hence the shockedness. But I am so excited. I can't wait to get out there. and to learn spanish. super cool also.

Here are some useless facts about Puerto Rico that I think are cool. (yes all provided by wikipedia)

Population- almost 4 million
The island- e/w is about 110 miles and n/s about 40 miles (That. Is. Tiny.)
Highest elevation- 4,300 feet
average temp is 82.4 and humid
17 lakes, all man made
they like baseball

and that is all. this blog has gone on long enough.

It came!!!!

My mission call. Yes its really happening. It's real. I might be in shock.

I will be serving in the:

Puerto Rico San Juan West Mission

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Spainsh Speaking

ahhhhhhhhhh!

In shock. So excited. I leave November 4 (which sounds YEARS away. but its really only 3 monthsish) I will be in Provo for 3 weeks and then in the Dominican Republic for 6 weeks!!!

Once again. So excited. Shock. Nervousness. Relief. Excitement.

Can't wait!!!!!!

The mission includes the west side of Puerto Rico and also Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao (also known as Aruba and the Netherlands Antilles).

books. movies. decks.

I have been doing nothing but read all week. This is one advantage of not working. I can read. All the time. Which I really kind of love. specially this past week cause I found some GOOD books. There are 3 of them. Even better. The Abhorsen Trilogy. I have heard of and seen these book many times but never felt the need to read them. I'm hooked though. They are way good.

Also. Avatar? The Last Airbender? Movie? Wha..! They are making Avatar into a movie!!!!! (real movie not cartoon. (Avatar=cartoon on nickelodeon.) The channel its on though I don't get. Sad day. So I've only seen like 4 episodes. But. I LOVE it. It comes out next summer. So I'll be gone. Sad day. But it will still exist when I get back. So I just might survive. Watch the trailer here!!!! (I hope that works. cause as you know. I didn't ever know how to do it. then someone kindly explained to me how rediculously easy it is to do.)

I helped my dad do some more of the deck today. It's hard work. And I almost got my tooth knocked out. It's almost done. And the older brother helped out after I got all angry and frusterated with the lifting and almost getting my took knocked out.

soon...

So the scrapbooking extravaganza is currently on hold. Due to the crazy amount of pictures on my computer that need to be developed. So the living room is a disaster. I'm sure my mom appreciates it.....

Last week:

Provo. friends. 17 again. awesome pizza. talking. cool penny necklace. yellowstone national park. confessions of a shopaholic. talking. pancakes. was awesome.

Logan. friends. uno. fireworks. talking. muddy buddies. was awesome.

4th of July. putting in the deck (some of it). ribs at gmas. bike ride. fireworks. was awesome.

so that was my week in a nutshell. I had a good time, thanks for asking. I wish i had a picture to post....? But i didn't take any. i have mosquito bites. they hurt.

there was something else i was going to say. there always is. but i forgot.

oh oh oh oh. i just remembered.

Yesterday my dog. Dusty is his name. He had some weird thing on his foot. It was sad. We took him to the vet. He had a little weed that was working its way into his foot so it was getting all infected. They had to surgery it out. We had to leave him at the vet for a few hours cause they have to put him out to do the surgery. So we went to pick him up. Poor thing. (i love my dogs. they are so stinkin cute). He was kinda out of it for a bit. And lucky us, they gave us the little weed thing that was in his foot....taped it to a piece of paper. I thought it was strange. His foot looks much better now. So glad he's feeling better!
