TWILIGHT SERIES

*{Okay...I know I haven't blogged in - like - FOREVER and then I get on and do like 3 in 2 days, but whatever.}*

TWILIGHT!!!

(If you haven't read them yet, stop reading this post NOW--I don't want to give anything away)

(Sigh) Oh man...where do I begin?

I. LOVE. THESE. BOOKS.

I finally finished them all and now I can't stand that I can't just go and get the 4th book. Grrr.



I'm totally torn as well.

Edward...Jacob....Edward....Jacob...Edward...Jacob??????
I can't decide. One day i think she should be with Jacob, the next I think Edward, but overall I still really feel like I want her to be with Edward. I honestly don't know why, but here is why I worry about her being with Jacob:

Okay, first...he hasn't imprinted yet (or at least he hasn't admitted yet) on anyone. This worries me because what if she decides to be with him for him to only imprint on someone else? That would SUCK.

But then...he is still at least human and they could be *normal*? Have a family, the list goes on and on, but then again, there's the whole imprinting thing.

I love Edward because I just........do! I don't know. But he really does love her and I want him to be able to be with her.

Anyways, I can't wait for the next one and I really hope that it solves all the problems with this little love triangle (?) thing-ma-jig.

Angry Running


Long story, but to simplify I got a new bathing suit over the internet. When I got it I tried it on. The suit is way cute, but my bod is not. I was totally FRUSTRATED. So I made Jon hop on the bike and follow me on a run @ 10:30 at night.

It was SOO nice to get out and run-out my frustrated self, and it was also helping the bod prob, and because I was so angry I pushed myself a lot harder than I would have normally. So all-in-all it was the motivation I needed: I've been going running every night since the incident so way to go me!!

NOTE TO FELLOW SWIMSUIT FRUSTRATED PEEPS:
I also started running with my cell-phone/iPod--which I have never done before. It seriously makes a HUGE difference, so try it if you haven't-makes a world of difference! (I'm sure everyone else already does this, but whatever)
P.S. The picture is from H.S. XC--I would love to be that in-shape again!

Oldies but Goodies

Just going through/trying to organize some pictures and found some good pictures.


Jon and I when we were first dating. Look how skinny I was. Why did i have to gain weight when I got married?!

Me & my most favorite dress -ever, and I cannot find it anywhere!! It still frustrates me to this day that I still don't know what i did with it/ where i left it. I have a inkling i may have forgot it when i left the good ol' burg. Reward to whoever finds it!!




Jon picking the Buffalo's nose in Jackson. He's pretty cute!

Then, of course, Jon & I. (I heart him)


Me, Jon, & Jay. At a Finch concert.


Good Times, Great Oldies!

Utah Family

Here are a few more pictures from hanging out with Jon's fam.

This is one of my favorites. (Good job catching that Jess!)















Jerimiah and Jon at A&W. Yummy!

Kennecot Mine

Well this last weekend we got to take a trip down to Utah to visit some of the fam. It was a lot of fun and we got to go to Kennecot mine, which i've wanted to do for awhile, so that was a lot of fun! Kennecot mostly mines for copper, but of course there are other things they find too. Here are a couple pictures.

Here is a picture of the mine--It was huge! So huge you can see it from space. ( I wish i had a picture of how deep it was--and it was very deep:) )


Here is one of the trucks & dirt scooper things. --I wish i had some way to give you a sense of how big these things are.


Here is one of the tires off of one of the above trucks as well as all the kids. (I do look good with a baby on my hip--if i do say so myself. haha. What is Jon looking at?)


Here is a re-try. Haha.


Oh, and look how strong i am.

My Surprise Trip to WA.

This last week I got to make a quick surprise trip to Washington.

Tuesday was my mom's birthday so we kept it a secret and surprised her for a birthday present! It was a lot of fun. The little girls( -zoe & sam-), who aren't so little anymore, didn't know either so they got to be surprised also!

Thursday Taylor had graduation. That was also fun, but long. I don't remember my graduation being that long, but, oh well. Jaimie and I had some very interesting conversations while they called all the graduates names off.

Friday I came home.

Awesome trip. Great to see the fam, wish it could have been longer & wish Jon could have come!!

Here are some pics:
