havasupai.

*[have-a-soup-i]
in june i had the opportunity to hike down to havasupai with my cousin hayley and some of her friends. it was hard, but totally rewarding. besides the fact that my entire body was eaten alive by mosquitos (face, legs, arms, butt, etc) plus a couple of spider bites. disgusting, i know.

while we were there an ogden boy scout leader died and fell off this water fall.

summer time.

this summer i have left myself with pretty much no free time. i have three jobs that are keeping me pretty busy. which is a good thing because one of my least favorite things to do is to sit and wonder what i shall do. or think about things i could do, but have zero energy to do them. i have also been running with my mothers running group on monday and friday mornings(even though i didn't go this morning, its a holiday). lets just say i am hurting from it. i believe i need new running shoes:) since it is a holiday, i have many things planned. the one that i am most excited about is swimming. i have not gone swimming once this summer, and i am super stoked to be going. the second is something that i have been putting off...cleaning grandma julie. she is dirty and nasty and its about time i gave her a wash. no, i didn't name my car..well sort of. i called it grandma because of the ugly gold color of the car. and then one day colby called it julie, so i guess i just ran with it.

ATTN: everyone.

just wanted to let you know i have changed.

what i was last summer is not who i am this

summer. just wanted to clarify, so as to not

confuse anyone.

ps. this post is because dan doesn't believe i have changed {in retrospec of guys}

roomie dinner.

for a little celebration of not killing each other this year, us roomies {+dirk} went out to dinner tonight to our favorite place...cafe rio! it was delicious! not only was the food really good looking and tasty, but there was this dang good looking boy that came it. lets just say he was definitely tall, dark, and handsome. of course being me i didn't go up and say anything to him. just looked and admired. then when we left i waved goodbye like i had actually known him. it was perfect! what a great way to spend some of the last days here at SUU this semester..but at cafe rio, staring at cute boys who i will never have the guts to talk to...its da best!

final sunday.

it is our final sunday here in cedar city. then it is off to moving home for the glorious summer of saint george! i am super stoked. i just can't wait for this patho test that i should be studying for at moment, instead i am blogging. figures. for the first time in a really long time, susie and i made a delicious sunday meal. we made chicken tortilla soup from scratch. it actually turned out pretty darn good. we had our friend duane come over and eat some with us. it was really tasty.

it is kind of bitter-sweet. the end of the school year that is. it has been a completely different experience this year than was last year. i made so many more friends. i actually stayed most of the weekends here in cedar {probably because i had work} but overall i have enjoyed my sophomore year of college so much more. and i have enjoyed sue as a roomie, even though we have definitely had our fair share of fights. i won't get into those.

here's to a great year. and hopefully an even better one next year!

{a yes would be even grander!}
