Europe

Wow Europe was amazing. Just got home yesterday, it took a total of about 20 hours to get home... yuck! We left 2 weeks ago and Im not sure I can even remember the whole trip i have not yet digested it all lol. We started off in Rome but just got on the ship there. My mom and dad were in one room and me my sister and her boyfriend ben were in another room. They were pigs the whole time made a huge mess and it was hard for me bc i dont like ben and K and Ben hung out the whole time but I still had a lot of fun. The cruise ship itself was awesome there was a huge movie screen outside by the pool and seating stadium style and at nights they showed movies. There was a water slide and I did go down it this time. 4 jacuzzis an amazing gym a dance club but no one was ever in it. The piano bar was fun we sat around and sang with the piano guy. Oh I gambled for the first time ever my family and I played black jack I doubled my money but let me tell you I will never gamble agian I know now why we shouldnt its so addictive and your always like lets try just one more time.. i could see myself somehow maxing out all credit cardsa nd being one of those stupid people so I am going to stay away from that lol. So we had 3 sea days and the rest fo the days we were in ports. We went to France, Croatia, Spain, Italy, Siscily, and our flight landed in Germany lol. Cities: Rome, Pisa, Venice, Florence, Tarimino, Nice, Eze, Cannes, Barcelona, Napoli, Dubrovnik, ahh thats all I can remember right now lol it was a long trip. Europe is gorgeous but way too hot in the summer I will never agian travel in the summer it was miserable everyone was completely drenched in sweat it takes about 5 minutes to look ugly cuz the humidity is horrid! You have to know the one thing I truely hate in life is heat and humididty so it really bothered me it put everyone in an instant bad mood and was just grose. But my mom and dad only got into one fight wich was soooo nice that nothing huge happen. My favorite places were naples, and france and croatia. The way they live is so different all the buildings and house well there arent houses its like apt and they just go up and the streets are super small theres no such thing as track homes or grass and houses its weird. But wow. France was gorgeous I would totally go back there. In Venice we went on a Gondola and we went to Catholic Mass. We were able to go to Pompei which is just so undescribable its amazing. Such an experience to beable to walk around in a place so old. In Venice we went to Saint marcos square and were able to get pigeon food and have them all over us while feeding that was an experience lol. In spain we took the subway and went to this family temple thing that I just cant even imagine how they built that it was so complex and detailed. We ate canolis in Tarimino that were so dang good. Man I want to go back on the ship right now just to eat the amazing food lol. In france we went to Eze a very old city from the 14th century and its this city on the side of a cliff at the top of a mountain and its all made of limestone rocks... wow. We also went swimming in the french riviera wow agian the water was so clear and so warm and there were no waves..thats my kinda ocean! Anyways the whole trip was the trip of a lifetime and I am so grateful i was able to go on it. My mind is still trying to catch up on sleep so when I can think straight Im sure I will beable to write more about the trip.
I already miss Sarah I talked to her for an hour today..thats a lot for me since IM not a phone person but it was good. I wish I was going back to Utah to live with her. I am excited to move back to Provo. Before I left on my trip I gave Tawnie the assignment to find us a place to live, almost everywhere is full so she did that I guess I should talk to her and find out where I am living. I hope this doesnt turn into a disaster. i found out that Coyles is coming up to my graduation. So Tawnie, Coyles and my parents will all be there... crazy!!

Ice Skating

I went ice skating with coyles tonight Jon ended up bailing but we had lots of fun. I use to take skating lessons when I was little yah ummmm I guess skating is not like riding a bike cuz once you learn it doesn't stay there haha. I had to hold hands with Coyles...too bad it wasnt a cute boy haha.. then we went around and around til our feet hurt and ended the night looking at the hot hockey guys and going to Cold Stones yum! Tomorrow morning we are waking up and going roller blading on the beach in Venice and get some of my favorite donuts ... talk about some serious fun! I am so excited this is going to be awesome!

New Roommate

So.... there has been the problem of starting new in Utah with all new friends and a new place of residence..not anymore.. my best friend for the past 12 freaking years miss Tawnie is going to move to Utah and live with me. I am very excited, we do have our moments and where we do not get along but that is normal and with both of us working full time jobs its not like we will be all up in eachothers faces that often. I am so excited to have a friend to go to church and institute and Fhe with this is going to be awesome plus with her at my side I can meet a lot of new people, as for our place of residence that is still undecided. Very few places still have openings and so we have to act quickly but it is hard from being way out here in Cali. On top of that I have to be moved outta my old apt by Aug 15th but I cant move into a new apt til the very end of August cuz school starts so late...so yah that is going to be a huge problem! eek! oh well. Haha. I am having a hard time deciding where to move though and Im praying but the answer has just not come yet..hopefully soon. As for Equador that may be postponed til May but I dont feel comfortable with that. I do not want to work somewhere for a year then go, I feel confused about that I want to go explore then go back to school not wait around for a year doing nothing I feel the pressures of having to have some huge career and a lot of money but for heavens sake I just barely turned 20 and am done with college Im way ahead of the gang. I am still considering dental school but to tell you the truth I am so scared of it.

My dad is still convinced that I am going to be getting married next summer.. to.. well a guy he knows and likes haha too bad the guy doesnt know about his plan lol. But yah I dont see that happening. First a guy would have to like me which doesnt happen often second I have no real desire to get married for a really long time. But oh wells its not something that is a big priority on my mind if the right guy and the right time comes along im down for it but I am not in any way one of those dumb provo girls who goes to BYU at 18 to find a guy to marry and have 3 kids by the time they are 21...HECK NO! infact i despise those kind of people its so ridiculous. The most ridiculous thing about Provo is the get engaged like after one week of dating there is no way to know someone that well to make such a huge decision so fast..lame! whatever. Anyways I have to keep on this apt hunting. I am using my moms new lap top it is quite exciting. Now we have 4 lap tops..yah kinda a lot haha.

TOnight I am going ice skating with Coyles and JOn that should be fun I have not been in a super long time. Oh and I went to the doctor yesterday for the first time in 10 years..the night before my back started to hurt... right where my kidney is then I couldnt sleep and next thing I knew I was laying on the floor in my moms office crying because of the literal back stabbing pain I had.. probably some of the worst pain I have ever felt so she loaded me up on advil and some other drugs and finally about 2 am I fell asleep on the couch. Yah it was not fun and I still hurt hopefully I am all better by Monday cuz we are going to Europe for 2 weeks. that in itself is a blessing I am so grateful for. Not many people get this chance of a lifetime. I mean a trip like this is costing an arm and a leg upwards of 25,000. That is a heck of a lot of money. Im glad my parents know how to save and make things like this possible. Being able to travel and see other cultures and see the beauty of other countires is breath taking. When I talk to friends they are like oh my family went camping or to a water park for vacation Im like oh we are going to Europe hahaha. But seriosuly I have been so blessed to beable to travel I mean this year alone we went to New York now Europe then camping lol. I really have been a lot of very fun places. Last year we did not do anything we were waiting for new York the year before we went on a cruise to Mexico and my sister got to bring 2 friends and I got to bring my boyfriend well I guess he wasnt technically by the time of the trip but oh well, the year before that we got to go to Hawaii and I was able to fulfill my life long dream of swiming with the dolphins! The years before that we went to Alaska and got to climb glaciers and before that we went to the mall of America for a week just to do back to school shopping.. yah haha a little ridiculous but fun.. my sister was the one who picked that vacation. But anyways it has been awesome. I love this world lol. I really do want to experience it all before I die. I hope that my job or husbands can allow us to travel all over the world for a few years before we have kids. I do not want kids for a while. anwyays yes thats my tangent.

Fight/Vegas/Cali

So on JUly 3rd we went to Freedom days and it ended with kayla and tawnie screaming at eachother then coming and yelling at me and everyone hating everyone. That led to my sister no longer moving to utah, which in the long run I think is a good thing. I am sad b/c we have become so close over the past year and got along great but now she is back to hating me agian and annoying the heck out of one another. I dont know what is going to happen there but oh well. So basically I got screwed because... My sister was suppose to be my roommate.. then i find out she is not coming out and my other roommate/bestest friend is moving home :(. So I had to leave Utah with all my stuff just chillin in my apartment and no new place to live and no idea what to do with my life. I have no idea where to live I just know Im either moving back to Cali or moving to Provo but I dont know where in provo my friends already have roommate and i am too scared to start all over in a new place and new ward by myself. I am sick of being the new one. I may just go to Equador early, if I go in November there is 1,000 off the price but I will have to miss all the holidays-- Thanksgiving, Xmas and new years which will be hard and I will have to move home and not see my friends in Utah again which will stink. How can I not have any move adventures with brent? Or movie friday with Ashley? Or trips to the abs house?! I need them an the Provo environment, the wards, FHE, institute all that, but basically i am too afraid to start over new. Plus I graduate in August but have no idea what to do with my life haha. My dad thinks i am going to get married soon and he always teases me and says it's going to be to ____ . Yah. Anyways I did however find out I get to keep their toyota as a wedding present lol that will be nice. Anyways.......happy thoughts i know it will all work out .....hopefully

So on Wed we left Utah and drove to veags. We stayed in the Tropicana..yah best place cuz it is cheap and right next to all the big kewl hotels. We walked around the strip at night and ate and took pics. we watched the belagio water show and all that jazz. Then the next day got up and drove home. That trip was not as fun as it could have been. There are something that just really annoying me one of them is cussing. My sister's mouth is one of the dirtiest i know and the whole trip home I had to listen to her tell me to speed the $%^& up and yada yada. AHHHHH!!! she knows how to drive me crazy!!!

When we finally got home I suprised my parents with my "new look" which was my new wardrobe, colored and cut hair, tan skin, better eyebrows (something my mom really wanted) and all those girly things anyways they were so excited. My dad loved my hair and new clothes and so did my mom which made me happy cuz they didnt like my old "style" lol. now all I need to work on is getting this weight off but on the cruise my dad and I are going to get up every morning and go to the gym. Oh and I got to tell them the big news...that i am for sure graduating in August!! They were happy which is good b/c I thought they might not be. They do not like that i am done with school and am just barley 20. But yah I love being in cali and seeing my family and my dogs.

Sarah is going to mail my grad pics to me soon! yay! I am excited to send all of those out. I need to start working on my dad's bday present eek! Oooo tomorrow I am going to make fajitas for dinner that will be exciting... haha incase you are wondering Im just bored wich is why I am rambling. Ok I guess I should go find something productive to do.
