Single Girls Can Craft Too!!

Sometimes, life gets busy and blogging is one of the last things to do on your list! Also sometimes that person is me! Where did July even go?? I have been so busy with work, church and vacationing! Don't get me wrong i love being busy but it can get stressful! Anyways i got a calling in my singles ward and I'm on the  activities committee! I'm specifically in charge of FHE with two others! I love it! I have an amazing committee and we put so much work into making sure FHE goes well, So far so good! I'm constantly trying to come up with fun ideas of things we can do! If you guys have any fun ideas PLEASE feel free to let me know!! Also if you have any fun overnight ideas for my ward you could share those too!!

Alright to explain some of the pictures below...Every 24th of July my dads side of the family goes to my Grandmas cabin and we celebrate!! However we are a little bit extreme to say the least! We always have a different theme for each year and then individual families put on skits, We have parades, costumes and our own outdoor movie on the barn door!! We are spoiled and its fun! Crazy is another word i would use to describe it! This years theme was pow wow. How many people can you say celebrated the 24th pow wow style?? Probably not many! The rest of the pictures are from our Lake Powell Trip, Enjoy!

Married Girls with blogs always do all these cute craft projects for their homes. To say the least I'm a bit jealous!! So look what i made!! Its a cute little earring holder:) My mom, Marissa, Korin and I, all made cute individual ones for each of my Zwahlen cousins for their summer birthdays! Before i made this i just had my earrings in a box and i would only wear a couple pairs because im lazy and i didnt want to search for any others! Problem solved! I'm quite proud!! Yep that's right single girls can craft too!

I might have too many earrings..

Sisters!!

   

Yep we are a little bit strange... Oh well!!

Back to My Busy Life

This last week my family and some family friends went to Lake Powell!! Thank goodness for the much needed vacation!! The week was perfect, we had excellent weather and a ton of fun. We were so spoiled this trip. We not only had a houseboat but we also had four other boats! Lets just say we were always out and about skiing, wake surfing, tubing, wake boarding, and exploring the lake! Oh yes also we went to Rainbow Bridge! This was my first time ever going and I'm not going to lie it was pretty neat!  When we weren't boating we were playing card games, watching movies on the rock wall, or eating a ton of food!! We probably could and should have stayed at least another week with all the food we had!! Unfortunately we had to come home and its back to my busy life!

Happy July!

So if you haven't noticed already i like to change my background to match the month. Since July is my favorite month I got a little excited and decided to change it a little early!! I mean whats not to love about July? First off the 4th of July is by far the best holiday, the warm weather, vacations, and of course no school!! Plus its my birthday on Monday so i can:) HAPPY JULY!!

#58 Be a Bridesmaid atleast once!

Yesterday was probably the happiest day of my life so far!! Ok maybe a little exaggeration but still it was a really great day!! Kasey and Korin finally got married! I'm so happy for them! They are adorable together! Korin didn't have any bridesmaids but I secretly told myself i was one!! Also since its on my list I'm counting it:) Here are some pictures from yesterday!! Enjoy!

Awe!! Look how cute!!

Me, Lace, and Marissa

I love my new sister!!

Pink Eye

This week I got pink eye! Bummer!! I havent ever had pink eye and i sooo hoped it was just allergies, but i was wrong it was definitley pink eye! Even though it wasnt the best thing that has ever happened to me I'm grateful for it. It made me realize how amazing the people i work with are!! They are so wonderful and I hope it can continue to get to know each and everyone of them!! Donna brought me eye drops, Lindsey and Brooke helped me know what to do, and Karen, Tiffany and Sam helped me work my shifts so i didnt give it to any of the kids(or them cross your fingers) So Thank You!! You guys are the best!!

Everybody Hurts Just a Little Too Much!

Rhylee, Rachel, and I went on a ROAD TRIP to St. George!! We had so much fun!!  We left Thursday morning and the drive down was very rainy we almost died about fifty times poor Rachel had to drive in it past all the big semi- trucks! The further south you get the more creative people get when they name restaurants! A couple we saw that we thought were the most clever were. "Mexican Food" and "Chinese Food". Yes they actually named their restaurants that! Also we saw a Zebra!!!! It was awesome, but it was raining to hard to get out and take a picture not to mention Rhylee was about to pee her pants. Finally we arrived in St. George!! After we got unpacked we went shopping for all of our groceries and then Rhylee made delicious tacos. Since it was Rhylees birthday the day before we attempted to got to Orange Peel but it was closed at 8:30!! Can you believe it?? We couldn't. Everything was closed so early!! So instead we went to the movies and saw "Something Borrowed".

The rest of the trip we layed out by the pool! The weather was perfect there!! Rachel and Rhylee fried because they didn't listen to me when i told them to put sunscreen on!! Trust me i have been sun burnt enough in my life to know that i always need sunscreen!!! Also we hiked the narrows, biked in the pouring rain. Tried to catch bunnies, swam, we rode in a convertable, went to sand hollow, watched the Justin Bieber movie, She's the Man and Definitely, Maybe. Also we went to the park, and at nights we would drive around St. George blasting our theme songs for the trip!!  Our theme songs were " A little to much"- Natasha Bedingfield and "E.T"-Katy Perry feat. Kanye! Don't ask me why those became our theme songs but they did and we listened to each one about one million times!! Oh yea while we were there we did baptisms at the St. George temple!! Another Utah temple crossed off our list:)

Now i know you guys are thinking WOW they probably had the best road trip in the world, which we did but we also had a lot of embarrassing moments (Rachel and Rhylee know what I'm talking about) and we learned a lot also!! We fixed a bike tire and we even BBQ ed our own hamburgers( we worried a little when flames started coming out of the lid but other than that we mastered our BBQ Talents while managing to not burn down the condos) Like Rhylee says.. "Real girls BBQ"

Sara we missed you so much and we are so sad you couldn't come but we will plan another one some time hopefully!! Overall we had the best time, and we wished we could have stayed longer We are still talking and laughing about everything that happened!

Multi-Vitamins

Working at the Child Care Center is so much fun! I absolutely LOVE it!! I work with amazing people and all the kids are TOO cute!! However it does have its down side. I have been sick since i started working there! When somebody is sick, it spreads till everyone is sick! I started taking multi-vitamins(they are gigantic and gross!) in hopes that they will help.. but working long days leaves me and my body exhausted and with no time to recover. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep from getting sick?
