The Great Update

I know, it's been a while. I swear it's not my fault!! The last 2 months have just been a big whirlwind. I'm not even sure if I remember all of the highlights...but here goes the highs, lows, things that mattered, and things that don't:

• June 3 - I had the 2 moles on my face removed (uhm, yay?)I'm still getting used to this :-)


• June 6 - I had a lovely little chat with Brandon. You all remember Brandon, right? Guy I "knew" I was supposed to marry like 8 years ago? Yeah, that was fun :-P Long story short...we decided we should go out and "see how things are".


• June 14 - I went on my, date(?) with Brandon. I then went to Park City for our annual Father's Day bbq & swimming party at the timeshare.


• June 15 - Spent Father's Day hanging out in Park City with my family.


• June 18 - I finally got rid of my parasite of a roommate. I had *never* referred to her that way before...but wow. When you can give more than you even have to someone, and they STILL can't respect you? I'm just happy that she decided to move out :-)


• June 18 - 21 - eBay Live in Chicago! This was a BLAST!! Lots to report from there...but it'll have to wait for another post (which means I'm sure I won't mention it...but...at least I have a highlights list!


• June 26 - July 2 - Scott came to town from Arkansas. YAY!! I love when I get to see my brother.


• June 28 - My parents, Julie, Roger, Dominic, Scott, Jen & other Scott, and their 3 kids all went boating. It was my first time boating since *thinks* I think since we all went to Lake Powell back in like 97! How crazy is that!!


• June 30 - I went with Julie, Roger, Brandon, Todd, Rhonda, Jake, and Levi to see Josh Gracin, Collin Raye, and Joe Nichols. It was a BLAST!! We spent half the time playing cards, and just goofing off. I LOVE blankets on the grass concerts! There were even fireworks :-)


• June 30 - July 10 - Tammie & Shantal were in town from Germany. I LOVED having them here, and cried when they left. I can't wait until next time I can head out there, or they can come back :-)


• July 3 - Julie, Roger, Dominic, Tammie, Shantal, & I went to the Drive In to see Wall-E and Prince Caspian. It was SO much fun!! I love the Drive In.


• July 4 - We had a bbq at Jen's house, and did some fireworks. It was a LOT of fun, as usual.


• July 5 - The drive in group got together again for some mini golf. I hate to love mini golf.


• July 10 - I finally caved and decided to start selling Scentsy stuff again. I apologize ahead of the time for the catalogs which may be spamming your mailboxes. I'm SO not a salesperson, so I'm just trying to get the word out. No pressure at all (but if you're interested in hosting a party or whatever...let me know!)


• July 14 - I photographed a wedding and a 50th anniversary in the same day. Insanity. It reminds me why I'm *not* a professional photographer...no matter how much I would LOVE to be. I have the interest, and can push the button...but I just don't have the ability to take pictures that people would pay for...lol. I then went to play games at Julie's, though I was so late...we only played 1 game before everyone left...lol.


• July 17 & 18 - I went to St. George with my parents to support Todd & his family for the big "finally! Unsuperised visits!!" decision. About freakin time, is all I have to say!


• July 18 - I was supposed to get back from St. George in time to see Dark Knight. I got back in time...but not to the theater in time. You see...like a moron...I looked at the tickets on a stressful day and saw $8.00...and in my head that translated to 8:00. Since I "knew" start time was 8:00...I didn't bother to look again until I was on my way into the theater. Yeah...start time was 7:00 :-( My friend and I went to see Mama Mia, instead, after dinner at Geckos.


• July 19 - I was able to get tickets to see Dark Knight (which is good...cause I was VERY sad about missing it the night before).


• July 20 - I had an interesting chat with a guy I dated about 4 years ago. Things didn't exactly work out then. Long story. He's been trying to get me to entertain the possibility of us dating again for about 6 months. I decided to at least drive down to see him. We had a nice, long talk. Matt and I are now "dating" I guess. I feel too old to be calling it that, heh.


• July 23 - After a LONG day at work, I got REALLY sick. I decided that sleep was more important than going to the dr. I woke up just in time to go to InstaCare and find out that I don't have strep. Same stupid thing they tell me 3 - 4 times a year when I get the strep-like symptoms. They then referred me to my dr. so that HE could refer me to an ENT. Aren't I getting too old to be looking into having my tonsils taken out?


• July 24 & 25 - I stayed home because of being so sick. It was SO nice to rest...but I hate missing that much work. I can't stand getting behind.


• July 25 - 26 - I went to Julie & Roger's for Dominic's birthday party. I slept over the night before with the intention of helping them finish up a few things in their yard. Instead, I didn't do anything. Way to be helpful. It was fun to spend the extra time with them, though :-)


• July 26 - After Dominic's party, Rob & Chrissy's girls decided to ride home with me. I went rainbow chasing (VERY cool rainbow and I wanted a picture...Mandy and Anna mocked me). I didn't get a good picture of the rainbow, but we did end up at temple square for an impromptu photo session with girls. They're so easy to photograph...makes me sick.


• July 28 - I had my Dr. appt and got my referral. I also got asthma meds (which helps a LOT with this 5k I'm getting ready to do, ugh). I also went to dinner for Dominic's birthday with Julie, Roger, & Dominic. I love Pizza Factory! I also closed my first Scentsy party since returning to selling. It was just a catalog party, and kinda happened by accident...but it was my first order over $150.


• July 29 - I just hung out with Matt. This is starting to become a habit again, and I'm not complaining at all. I love the fact that I can just take my laptop with me...and he can do his thing and I can do mine. I just enjoy spending time with him. (Sorry, I'll try to be done with the pukey stuff, heh).


• July 30 - I ended up taking Matt to the ER (against his will). He's been having problems with his stomach, but kept saying that things would just pass. Sadly...nothing was found.


• July 31 - We spent most of the day at the hospital, again, for Matt to get tests done. I went with him to get an endoscopy, which found minor stuff. He kept insisting that he needed to get back to work, and the nurse was begging me to not let him. Luckily, he works at the same hospital that we were already at. I figured that alone should get him a pass for missing the time. I then went to work for a couple of hours, then back down to take him in for another test. I finished taking him home from that just in time to pick up Rhonda from my mom's house and head down for our football clinic at the Y. *drool* there were FAR too many hot football players hanging around. I already posted about all of that, though :-)


• Aug 1 - I went with Rhonda, Kenz, and Ashalee to the BYU bookstore for the release of "Breaking Dawn". Now for those of you who have finished NO TELLING ME ANYTHING!! THIS MEANS YOU, ASHIE!!! I love you, though :-)


• Aug 2 - Bobby's baptism. After not much sleep, it felt like a long day. It was fun, though!
  

This is the conclusion of the great update. Today I have my appointment with the ENT, so I hope to remember to update later (and a lot more often so that none of us have to go through a "Great Update" again!!)
