Welcome!


Hi everyone!

I just celebrated the 4th with my boyfriend Matt. The both of us spent the day relaxing and shopping at Gateway Mall. We went to Franklin Covey field to the Bee's baseball game for fireworks and of course hot dogs! Mmmm!!!! The fireworks were great! The seats we had faced to the southeast so we were also able to see the fireworks at Rice Eccles Stadium too. After the game Matt and I walked past a fire station where the fireman were lighting their own fireworks or practicing on putting them out, I couldn't tell what they were up to.

My birthday was on the 15th of June, I turned 23. I love growing up! There are so many things to experience and do. I just can't wait for what the next year will bring. I spent the 15th with Matt, of course. We went to dinner at the Blue Boar Inn in Midway http://www.theblueboarinn.com. Dinner was just tasty! The soufflĂ©’s are to die for. If you go there, try one! Thanks to everyone that remembered me on my birthday, it always helps me feel important!

Matt just celebrated his birthday on the 3rd or July. I'm not sure how much he would appreciate it if I told his age! (Matt, I think you are still young, and hot!) ☺ I made him a cake in the shape of a duck! I can't believe that my visions of a duck cake, really turned out. I will try and track down a picture and post it.

Lately, I have been into being outdoorsy activities. I know you all must be shocked! To tell you the truth it has been kind of fun, except when I get dirty, get splinters, get bug bites or get cold, oh and when the smoke from the fire gets in my eyes. Yeah, yeah, you are all probably thinking that I hate it. Matt and I actually have gone fishing a few times, but we haven't really caught anything! We try and try and try! We go to lake after lake, but NOTHING! Well, not nothing - a few weeks ago we went to Deer Creek Reservoir and caught seven fish! Come to find out later they were all babies! What do I know, I am a beginner! If anyone has any good fishing suggestions, I am all ears.

About two months ago I got a great promotion at work! The transition from doing creative design work to accounts payable has been interesting and in the beginning just awful! I am now the office administrator. I manage the staff of seven, cut checks to the agents (wish I cut my own! I would make sure I got a good bonus every now and then) process accounts payable, process tons of paperwork and I am also in charge of associating (interviewing) new agents. At times it is really stressful, especially when I have to get mad at someone and fire them! Just kidding. Hopefully that won't happen.

The mom and dad are going out of town to the family reunion and to visit the bro and sis, but unfortunately I have to work. Like dad said, "you should get your MBA (Management by Absence). Yeah, wishful thinking! I would love to come, but that's life I guess. Ya'll will have to let me know how the vaca/family reunion goes.

Well, it has been good trying to keep everyone updated with my life, but I have to get going!
