I admit it... I stole this from someone else

Who stole it from somone else... ect.

Camille had this on her blog and I think that it's the cutest idea!

Check out the info here on what it's all about and how to sign up.

It's always fun to try something new.... and it'll be fun to find things to swap!

This is what I feel like right now...

We're almost completely packed up thanks to the help of my mom.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

We got the bedroom, living room and part of the storage room packed up in 2 1/2 hours and the kitchen in less than an hour.

If I had been on my own, it would have taken me all day just to do the living room!
We're trying to be out by Saturday and we are almost there.

WHOO HOO!!

Although... I feel like I have nothing to do but clean and pack more when I'm home because our movies, books, games and food (yes, the food... we're living on cereal the rest of the week) are all packed.

Oh well, it'll just get done faster, hopefully!

Happy Father's Day!

Just a little shout out to my dad :)

He's always been there for me and encouraged me to make the right decisions.

I really could go on and on, but I don't want to bore anyone so...

I love you Dad!

You're the greatest!

This weekend, Camille and I went and saw this..


and LOVED IT!!
(Ramone... he he he)

And I have to echo Camille's sentiments when she said
It reminded me why I have a crush on Ryan Reynolds.


WOW
*drool*

Lust isn't a bad thing... right?

Just kidding he..he...he

My heart is aching...

I can't stop crying.

Seriously.

All I need is some carpet cleaner and I could get the spots out of my carpet with my tears.

I've been trying to pack for the last couple of days while Cody is gone and I've only done the bookshelf and movies. In TWO days. I never knew I could cry this much! In fact, I never thought that I would be this emotional about moving. But I am. And I can't get over it. There is so much I will miss. I can't even begin to list everything. And we're only moving 15 minutes away!

I was actually doing okay until today. I had kept my emotions at bay and out of the way, well for the most part. Then my mom told me about a one year old boy that got ran over by his mom in the driveway today. One of Parker's friends lives next door to them and his parents called my parents etc. They knew it was bad. There was blood in his mouth, his stomach was getting hard from internal bleeding, and they saw a tire mark on his back (I'm pretty sure).

Can you imagine?? My heart broke in two. But the bishop lived next door and Parker's friends dad came over and gave the little guy a blessing before he was life-flighted to Primary Childrens. I've been worrying all night about it. Then,I just read on Standard.net that he was released with MINOR injuries.

The power of the priesthood is absolutely amazing.

Then, I have to pick up something for Father's Day tomorrow and I wasn't sure when they opened so I looked up the phone number and called. I was expecting a voice mail because, well, it was 10:30 PM. Nope. A guy answered. AT HIS HOME.

What was he doing answering that late??

I almost hung up but decided to ask what their hours were (it was late, I was dilusional)

He laughed and said "Well, it's what, 10:30?"

Yeah....

"So what do you need?"

So I tell him, and he says you're calling for that NOW?!

Well, I wasn't expecting anyone to answer! I felt so stupid, I got off as soon as I could and broke down. Again.

Ugh... I hate being emotional.

Thanks for being a listening ear.

*disclaimer* It's around midnight, I'm tired, emotional and stressed. That should explain everything :)

They didn't go...

It was raining. They went camping in the Uintahs instead.

Whew!!

I feel a little better about that. :)

I Can't Get This Out of my Head.....

Cody will be canoeing and fishing in the back country of Yellowstone the rest of the week and this is all I can think about. I'm getting more nervous by the minute. Of course, Cody welcomes the challenge :)

This is one of his favorite quotes ever about bear attacks.
I guess that is all that really matters in the end.

Busy...Busy...Busy

Wow, so far this summer has been extremelly busy! Here are a few things we have and will be up to. Be prepared, this post is REALLY long.

• Cody got spoiled for his birthday by getting a .243 Savage. He was so surprised that I got him a gun and bought it all by myself. Good thing I'm now 21 or that would've been hard. :)
  
  
• Two weekends ago I went to Park City with my mom-in-law Annie, Camille, Carly and Lisa for a girls weekend full of scrapbooking, shopping (spending entirely too much money) and eating.

• Last weekend I was able to go to St. George with my family and Grandma to attend the Utah Summer Games to watch my brother play soccer. During breaks we ate, watched UP (SO GOOD!!), watched kids swim, and me and my Grandma worked on a puzzle and watched movies.
  

• This puzzle is called "The Commencment" and is 1000 pieces. We worked on it for over 3 hours and only got a little done. The outside and top of it were done when we got there. She's slowly been working on it.
  

• Parker is the farthest on the right in blue. For every game, his teammates wore their hair in blue mohawks. They played hard and for the Gold medal game it rained the whole time. They still won 8-0!!
  

• I couldn't get the picture rotated...sorry!
• Then, on Saturday, my dad got called as the first counselor in the Stake Presidency and Cody's dad got called as the Stake Clerk in another stake. They split the Farr West and Plain City stakes into three to create the Farr West, Plain City, and Farr West Poplar Stakes. Cody and I are moving out to Farr West in two weeks and even though we are living 5 minutes from my parents, we are now in a different stake but we're still in Cody's parents stake. I'm a little bummed but really excited for my dad.
• Elder Holland came out to interview and create the new stakes and we were able to hear him speak at the adult Saturday night session and during stake conference. We were also able to sit in for my dad's setting apart and just thinking about it still makes me cry. His talks were absolutely amazing. There really are no words to describe it.
  

• He spoke on how to get through the hard times in your life. You need to rely on God and know that He knows you and will not leave you. I have a lot of notes but wish I could've recorded the whole thing. He spoke of blessings, promises, gave guidance and shared his love of the gospel and everyone in the church. He is very straight forward and serious but also has an awesome sense of humor and is really laid back.
• A new 70, Elder Carlson, set apart my dad. He is a 4 star general in the Air Force, became a member his sophmore year in high school, and served as a bishop for one year. He just got a job with the Pentagon too. How awesome! He was really funny and the nicest guy.
• The spirit was absolutely incredible. I will never forget it. I was emotional all day yesterday. I always want to feel that way... well, not the emotional/crying bit but I want to just be a better person spiritually. I could go on and on. Oh wait... I already have :)

• This weekend Cody, his dad, Logan and his friend are going on a fishing/canoeing trip into the back country of Yellowstone. Buffalo, wolves and bears, OH MY!
• I don't really know if there will be buffalo but there are wolves and bears back there. I'm a little nervous and trying not to think about those things.

• I should probably end this monsterous post but I'm going to see The Proposal saturday, try out for Urinetown the same day, we'll go see Transformers 2 when it comes out, and pack up our apt. the next 2 weeks, as well as finish summer school. What was I thinking taking classes?

We're already exhausted.
