First time blogger has failed me.

I wrote a detailed post about this past month 4th of July and California trip, I saved it multiple times... exited out of it to finish later and when I got on last night to finish it and post it, it wasn't there!! Pretty ticked right now about it. Now I just gotta recap and it wont nearly be as good as the previous one but maybe you guys wouldn't of liked all the details anyways. But first thing is I broke my pinky knuckle colliding with someone in a volleyball circle. At first I thought I just jammed it, so I shook it off and tried passing again but when I did my hand was throbbing and I knew it wasn't just a jammed finger. So I laid low and watched others play then went home and iced it, thinking it would be fine the next day. Weeelll I woke up with the left side of my hand swollen and black and blue. That concerned me, but my parents and I decided to continue watching it and just wrap it up. Well it started to get even more painful and thats when we decided to see Chris our family doctor and almost immediately after feeling it around, he said yeah its probably broken. Not what I wanted to hear since California and Hawaii trips were coming up... so I got an x-ray the next day and sure enough the knuckle was broken and slightly displaced. We squeezed an appointment in with the hand specialist that afternoon and I got a hard cast (which I wonder why I ever thought I wanted one of those when I was little?) He said I only had to have it on for a week so that was semi good news!

The next day I headed up north to Travis Gibson's cabin with a group of friends to celebrate the 4th of July! It was one of the best weekend trips I have had. I wasn't too thrilled about it beforehand because it was such a random group of friends and everyone only knew like one or 2 other people so I was worried about al getting along and having the same ideas of fun. But to my surprise we all let our guards down and were just goofballs the whole time. We watched fireworks, danced, played four square & kickball, ran the Taylor Fun Run, went to the dance, had a nerf gun war, watched Wild America and just had a blast!
                                  
California this year was awesome! The Huggans were there again along with the Lewis' and Woodhalls. The week was such a blast even though I couldn't participate in the sports activities, and get all the way in the water to boogie board and body surf. :( It was so great to have the Woodhall cousins there because we hadn't done a big vacation with them since the divorce and so this was really good for us all to bond again and make new memories now that were older! All week long we just played on the beach, ate lots of food, played games at night, celebrated Bromley's 17th birthday, & went to Six Flags. I am so grateful my parents have taken us to Oceanside every year for as long as I can remember because it has been a huge factor in so many great summers and memories made and it really feels like a second home.

I was home for a week and today I head to the beautiful island of Hawaii to play with my best friends for 10 days! Flight leaves in 2 hours and I am pretty stoked out of my mind! Stay tuned for the adventures we have there and enjoy our California video below!

September First Camping Trip with Myla

Image
  Started out with Labor Day and Lucas had it off so Micah joined us on a bike ride. We we’re still watching the Millett’s so we had Jane sleep over so she could watch Myla while we rode. Then we had breakfast and hung out there and then had all the cousins over for a swim party to celebrate Alli & Jacobs birthday. Myla started developing a rash around her eyes and mouth that seems to be caused from heat. It flares up in the car and after naps. So hopefully it will go away soon. We had Sunday dinner with my family and the boys had fun laughing Myla around In a box. This week I filmed Traci Beagley and her breast cancer journey and it was very powerful and I’m glad I was able to be apart of bringing awareness to so many. I just had another afternoon with the Millett’s. Next I went to the library with Tayzia for baby Olympics.  Then that night we went to the ASU game with the Packard’s and Trennon & Cari Anne. We got shaved ice that smelt like gasoline so that wa...

Now What?

This past month has been different and not quite what I was expecting. This whole semester I had been working hard for ADI and with the hope that they would hire me on after the internship was over. They had been telling me multiple times that they love me and are trying to get a position open to keep me here for good. Having that said I was kind of banking of getting hired post graduation. Well a couple weeks ago Sue took me to lunch to inform me that they actually do not have a position available because Hotel Site Select has not taken off as fast as they were hoping and they will not have the money to pay me. I was pretty upset and sad because I really LOVE this business, and the other employees are so good to me, and I was already making my future plans to be with them. That lunch meeting was not the happiest, and I was pretty down the next week or so. Many thoughts began to run through my head about being jobless, and how am I going to pay off my loans, and where should I apply no...

October Beginning of Holidays

First day of the month and we had the Bodine ladies over for sister lunch which was really refreshing since we had been home all week not feeling good. It was a good time like always, I’m glad to have them as my sister in laws! Friday we did pickleball with the Skousen’s, Packard’s, and Standage’s for date night and it was super fun to be active and have a group date night! Saturday I had a Romanian Pentecostal wedding that was from 8:30am-7:30pm. It was looong but fairly easy since there is a lot of driving to different locations. It was also conference so I listened to a little bit during the drives. Sunday we started potty training... again. We woke up and “threw” the diapers away and made Myla say goodbye to them and she gladly did. Then we put on underwear and told her to tell us every time she has to go. She had about 7 accidents that day which is normal cause I was pumping her with water & juice all day to make her pee more. It was really nice to have Lucas here on day 1 bec...
