Getting ready for fall!

So we went to Mesa this past weekend. Went to the temple and I was able to go to Molli's bridal shower!! It was soo much fun seeing my friends! I hadn't seen them since May. It's like I saw them every day for 3 years and than all the sudden I never see them. So sad. But they all were doing really good and I'm so excited for Molli! She is getting married October 17th. So we'll be heading up to Thatcher so I can go to the reception. And we had a fun time at Janel's. We had tacos and I got to experience dinner at Janel's house. Way more eventful than mine that's for sure!! But we stayed up and played Guitar Hero and her singing game, Karaoke and Rock Band. Even Kameron joined it!! I had so much fun I am thinking I need to get some of those games! And Janel's house is so cute it inspired me to start decorating for fall. So I scrounged up some money and hit up the dollar store and walmart (it's amazing what good stuff you can find!) It's kind of a work in progress so I will try to get some pictures up soon. But it's been really fun decorating for it that I got excited for Christmas decorating!! I find myself singing christmas songs every once in a while...haha. Kameron is working hard and going to school. There really isn't any breaks until Thanksgiving so we are in for the long haul! So I am thinking I just need to get a better attitude about my job cause I really do have a good situation I just need to deal with the job in general and stick it out I think. Cause people just arn't hiring so I need to make do with what I have. If anyone has ideas let me know! What I really need is more piano students! Man it's like people just can't afford that stuff right now or something. Makes me sad. But that's about as exciting as it gets around here. Happy Fall!

The Lake

So we went to Lake Powell this past weekend. We left friday afternoon and Kameron's cousin met us there, poor guy was there an hour before us, so by then we are way pumped to get the boat loaded and head out to find a good camping spot and maybe get some night fishing in. So we have the boat in ready to launch off an it won't start. So the guys try to fix it for a while and think it just needs to be jumped, that doesn't work. So long story short it gets too dark to go anywhere and the boat still isn't working so we just make camp where we are. And we all decided camping is a thing that takes time to conquer. Because we left the lighter in the trunk of our car, didn't bring a can opened...ect.ect. But we had a fun just sitting by the fire talking and the stars were beautiful! The hard sand didn't make for a good nights sleep, but Randy said his felt like Memory Foam....I think not. haha. So in the morning we try to get the boat started...we do get it running! But once we tried to switch gears or something it kept dying. Bummer! Oh and a bunch of stripers start jumping right where we are so it just made the guys go crazy! They gave up on the boat and just fished along the shore for the afternoon. Didn't catch anything though. I just chilled at camp reading and eating candy. haha. It sure was relaxing though. So overall the trip was unsuccessful. But it was fun besides the whole boat not working thing.

Halfway through September!

So I had a great weekend with my Mom and Dad!! They sure were good parents if I can cry everytime they leave me! is that a good thing? Dad just went and played music at a festival that actually sounded pretty fun! Im glad he had fun! Mom and I talked..and talked and talked! it was sooo nice! I love moms. Especially mine! I can't wait to see them again hopefully soon!
Work is still work. I'm trying to find something else, but that always seems to take a while. We are headed to Lake Powell this weekend! hopefully I get some good pictures to post. And the next weekend we are headed to Mesa so I can to Molli's Bridal shower and see my long lost friends! So that our update!

The perfect serve.

SO we went to a cabin this past weekend for Labor Day! We had a lot of F-U-N! Badminton, fishing, card games, sleep and good company. We were about 10-15 minutes outside of Heber. So of course I had to drive by the old cabin, Yup still there! And June's Cafe was closed wah no yummy ice cream for me. But that's okay. We played pit and you have to trade cards with people but you have to yell how many you want to trade and Kameron started to make fun of me cause my arms were short and it was soooo funny! you know when you laugh and you can't breathe and it kind of scares you?? well it happened to me. And we made home made pizza, didn't know you should bake the crust first and Then put the sauce and cheese on. I guess it was sill good. Oh and another funny, there is only one bathroom...and we had steak for sunday dinner and all the sudden almost every boy was needing the potty! Oh it was so funny. and Than we realized we were running out of toilet paper...dun dun dun! haha but we found more thankgoodness cause that plumbing system got a work out. It was hard coming back home and going back to work and school...yuck. Oh well, somehow we get through it.

The next big event...! Mom and Dad are coming to Flagstaff next weekend!! I've just been praying for some DeRusha interaction. It's been way toooo long. I don't like it. So I'm already looking forward to that!

Kameron's smashed finger is getting better. He did have to pop it with a hot needle and pull his entire finger nail off..uh yeah disgusting, So hopefull it heals right and all that good stuff.

So yeah! September is here and the snowy season will be here before we know it!
