So, it was nice to get to go home for a couple of weeks to watch my parents house and the dog (my widdle cozy!)while the parentals traveled the world. I did miss Aaron oh so very much though! A lot happened while I was there. I already posted some pics I took while I was there. But I have more Ill be posting as soon as they are finished being edited. My sister Camille flew in the second week I was there to spend some time with me and my other sister, Celeste. We had a good time- we got massages, manicures, pedicures, Frozen Yogurt and spent some good quality time together. Ward and Amber (and new dog pal Kai) packed up all their stuff and headed on their new adventure to Missouri where they will be living for the next year or so. Leslea, Celeste, Jesh, Katrice and I all helped them get on their way. Its always sad when you have to say goodbye, even if it is only temporarily.
I also was able to spend some time with my good pals Allyse, Nina, and Nick Chow Pow! Nick went out to dinner with me and Celeste- in honor of nicks ancestors we went to PF Changs! haha! We chose PF Changs also because they have a large gluten free menu and Celeste just recently found out that she has celiacs disease. ;) The next week Allyse, Nina, Chow, and myself all met up for breakfast at Kneaders in Draper! The french toast was so delightful as usual. We enjoyed ourselves!
Anyway, I have been back in ATL for the past three days and couldn't be happier to be back with my love again. He is out working now while I don't know what to do with my time. I just finished doing Turbo Jam and now I'm about to get ready for the day. I recently decided that I need to lose like 100 lbs or so because I feel like a freakin' whale now days. So I threw out all the fatty food in my fridge and bought all healthy fresh foods. I looked up a few recipes online that I am so excited to try out! So hopefully I can keep motivated and start seeing a difference in the way my clothes fit. Root for me, will ya?
Now its off to bathe. Until next time blog world! :) CIAO!

4th of July in the ATL
I am really trying to keep this blog updated now so that I can make up for all the time I didnt keep it up to date. So I just flew into Utah this morning from Atlanta. Im here to watch my parent's dog while they travel Europe. Poor parents... Anyway, I was really sad to leave Aaron even if it is only for two weeks. I mean, I did wait for him for two years! But after that I dont like being away from him for any amount of time. In my mind I already served my time and I dont want to go through that again.
Yesterday was the 4th of July and since we were in Atlanta we were not familiar with the area and where to go to celebrate our nations birthday. I found this cool place called Rock Mountain Park not too far from where we are living. It is literally this HUGE rock that is the size of a mountain. On the side of it there is a carving of some general from Georgia from the Civil War. Its kinda an attraction spot so there is a little village park area below the rock mtn. with tons of little shops and bbq food places and a rope course and a area to golf. And at the end of each night they have a lazer show on the side of the mountain. It sounds pretty fun right? At least thats what I thought. A whole group of us went there around 3 to try to beat the croud and hopefully get a pot reserved for our group at a bbq area or somewhere on the grass for the Lazer and firework show at night. But even at 2 in the afternoon the traffic was horrible and the entire park was filled. There wasnt a spot left on the grass for us to sit and in order to do any of the activities there (rope course, golfing, take the tram up the mountain, ect.) you had to buy some sort of day pass for like $40 a person and a two hour wait to do anything! SO NOT WORTH IT! We were bored out of our minds and to make matters worse it was so so so hot! Even in the sade I felt like I was dying of heat stroke. The last thing we wanted to do was stand around in a huge croud of people in the blazing heat until 9:30 just to watch the fireworks. So all of us decided to head back home and get some food then hang out at the pool and maybe find some fireworks near by when it got dark. But of course we had to snap some quick pics before we left. I was able to get a video of John (the office manager), Chad (Stacy's husband), and Aaron reinacting Johns son getting a splinter in his foot. They actually had to hold him down and use tweezers to get it out! Poor kid! He was screaming crying and after seeing how big the splinter was I dont blame the kid. I would have cried my eyes out too! Anyway, the Rock Mountain park was fun while it lasted. It was actually really cool! Im sure in other circumstances we would have had a great time but it was just too crouded for us. Aaron and I went to Wild Buffalo Wings and then got milkshakes afterwards then went to pool with everyone until it got dark. Unfortunately we didnt get to see any fireworks but Aaron and I had a fun time together and thats all that really counts. :)
