Lived
- 4th of July weekend Kaden and I went to the Rawson's cabin with them, my family, and Malcolm and Pierce. We seriously had a lot of fun spending time with everyone. We had fun watching movies, going on Rzr rides and watching people try to fish in a little pond we found. We ate way too much good food and we even took Tiffany with us. There are a bagillion pictures to post that will show more of our actual trip but i do not have the energy to go get my camera at the moment so ill post them in a few days.
- Independence Day we watched the Cedar City parade with Penn and Nancy, and Kyle and Jessica, Vance and the girls. Then we played at the park with the girls and then i'm pretty sure Kaden and I slept for the rest of the day. We woke up to watch the fireworks but decided we really missed the Logandale show. Maybe next year we will join everyone in the heat.
- Day after the 4th of July (yes July 5th) I decided to go to the gym before work like i normally do and got up like any normal day, got dressed, drug myself out the door, got in my car, forgot to put on my seat belt ( i was way too occupied with the radio to worry about safety), got all the way to 200 N. and College way, when i am stopped at a light and realize crap there is a cop and i don't have my seat belt on, I honestly debated until the light turned green whether id put it on or not, i decided not, i drive into the intersection, see the cop make a face of death, turn my head to the left to see why, and instantly think, that car is going to run a red light strait into me, crap. I would not say that it is was the scariest thing that has ever happened to me, but definitely one of the craziest experiences of my life. In moments like that people say they tend to think of dying or of their family, or something random they hadn't done at home, I litteraly for my you know .2 whatever seconds before i was rammed in the driver door by a chevy something or other car going 55 thought i am getting hit, no bracing, no anything. I think i just passed out. I hit my head and cant remember on what, i tore my shoulder and cant figure out how, the door smashed my feet together next to the gas peddle and bruised my ankle and i don't ever remember feeling like i was being squished in. Of course as soon as it was all over and there was a cop in my car in awe that i was alive i was ready to jump out the passenger side and get out of the car. He wouldn't let me so i had a good time listening to the jaws of life tear my doors off and an ambulance taking over the intersection. Note for all you who still wear sophes, don't. If you are in an accident apparently they are the most embarrassing thing to be wearing Kaden said he wasn't even worried about me he just had to keep from laughing at my stupid cotton shorts wedgie from being strapped to the backboard. A few x-rays and 30 mins later i was released from the hospital and two days later i went to the doctors to confirm my shoulder was torn and just about every other thing holding my upper back together. Now im a bottle of flexeril down and feeling much better. I am sure i'll tend to have pain from this for the rest of ever but I can walk, i can think, and i can breathe i am doing great!
-Weekend of the 23rd we made a trip to Vegas with a couple of my cousins. It was quite eventful. For just a quick two day trip it was great, we stayed in a nice sweet at Planet Hollywood, went to the pool, and ate a lot of very good food. Pretty much Kaden, Sarah, and I focused our part of the trip around what we were putting into our stomachs. We tend to do that when go on vacation good food seems to be very important to us. We also splurged and went shopping, Kaden got a nice Diesel shirt and i got a new pair of Toms and Kaden talked me into get Toms wedges they honestly are the most comfortable wedges i have ever owned. It was nice to spend time with my cousins and finally see Michael who has been in Guam for way to long.
-Last weekend of July equaled our last trip of July. We made the annual Fish Lake trip with the Leavitt family and Nancy's side of the family. It was very pretty and a lot of fun. It was great having Kyle and Jessica and the girls there this year. The girls always keep everyone entertained. We did a lot of fishing, and playing in the rain. We always love going to fish lake and seeing everyone and Kaden and I just have a thing for fishing.
Learned
- I am never taking summer classes again, at least not online ones. With all i have been doing this summer and everything that has happened i have been dreading my classes and i spent way too much time worrying about homework than i should have.
- Kaden and i need to do a trip just by ourselves, all the trips with family have been great but i think taking a trip by ourselves would be way more relaxing.
-I am never wearing sophes again
-I will pay anything for a safe car ( see loved)
Loved
- Kaden getting another job, he works almost a full 40 hours a week now.
- Spending so much time with Kaden and family.
- Getting to go to massage therapy every week.
- Driving my new car :) Since my car was totaled we went out and bought a brand new Chevy Equinox! It is beautiful and it is perfect for us. Its all wheel drive and still gets 30 mpg and it is a total family car which is perfect since we are trying to start a family. When we got the car we loved everything about it, its 5 star crash ratings, that it comes with onstar, and that i have a video that shows me what i'm backing into. Kaden likes to complain about it but i know he secretly loves it or he wouldn't have told me to buy it.
- That Camille and Alex are now engaged! Woo Hoo for my beautiful best friend and the amazing guy who gets to marry her. I am so excited for the wedding planning and for the life they will get to spend together.
