YAY GRADUATION!
Well I finally was able to finish up the last of my classes this summer. It was a long summer, but so worth it in the end. I am so happy to finally be done with my Associates degree, and even more happy to be done with my general studies. Now it is off to Cosmetology school. I am still not sure where I want to go, I need to do a little bit more research on that, but I wont let something keep me from going there. It is what I want to do and I am going to get it done. I was also really excited to graduate because I was able to get a brand new camera. Its not anything overly fancy, but I am way excited to have it. It is a Cannon 590, I haven't had to much time to play with it, but I am sure I will have it for a long time.
Alex!
So a few weeks ago my cousin Alex made a stop to see me on her way to Snow College! It was such a blast to see her. It has been years since we have been able to actually see each other in person. We got to spend an afternoon together and an evening, but that was it. At least she isn't to far away for me to make a weekend visit to her every once in a while. She will need it. She wanted me to come see her this weekend actually, but I have work and I had previous plans. But I will make it down to see her sometime. I love that girl and I am so glad we found each other on myspace a few months back and have been able to keep in touch. :) Here is the crazy girl! LOVE HER TO DEATH! I am so happy she made her mom stop!
We did the whole temple square thing then later that night my boyfriend Casey and I took her up to the Bountiful temple since she had never been there before. It was so windy up there that day, but it is on a hill, what can you expect?
This probably wasn't allowed! But we did it anyways! (She wanted a picture with the sign!)

Tubing
So a few weeks ago my friends has the bright idea that we should go tubing down Provo Canyon River. Sure sounds like fun, except the fact I don't like water. But I am trying to be a bigger person and do more daring things, so I finally agreed to it. It was such a long day and everything seemed to go wrong. The best part of the day was when we got all the way up the canyon we realized they were charging a lot to be able to rent tubs, so back down the canyon we went to buy tubes. Little did we realize that after we bought the tubes had them filled they would not fit in the car with us. So we had to get creative on how we were going to get the tubes up the canyon. We got loaded into the car, and I think the pictures are going to be a little self explanatory.
I felt like a total redneck doing this. I couldn't see out of any of my mirrors of off to the side out the windows. It was totally insane, but a lot of fun. We finally got everything taken care of and ready and were finally in the river by 5 that afternoon. Oh I wish we would have started earlier. It was cold and wet, but worth it I think. Well not really since I hate water.
It was a long day and ended with a great place to eat. We all went to Red Robin and had dinner before heading back to Salt Lake. Such a long and exciting day.

One Down! One To Go!

On July 18, I finally hit my one year mark since my missionary left. It has been one long year and will continue to be long, but hopefully it will seem to go by faster since I am on the downward slope. It has definitely been a productive year. He has been moved to many different places and has had to deal with different companions here and there. But in all reality it has just been a great growing and learning experience for him. I love missionaries and the wonderful things they are willing to do. Those who go out on a mission with a real intent make me so proud of them. I hope all missionaries who go out do it for the right reasons and not just because it is expected of them. It truly is a learning experience that will help them throughout their lives. Also just being home I have been changing and learning different things myself. Different things have happened and I have learned from them tremendously. But it makes me a better person doing it and I am happy to have these experiences. I don't know what will happen over the next year, but I know for sure I do not regret sending out a missionary, it has been such a great thing to have experienced.
