vacation time

so i went to cedar city and vegas this last weekend. it was ilse's, markus's and johnny's birthday that weekend in cedar. i was not very far from vegas so i thought why not go down and visit kerri and tj and chloe (the girl in the picture). oh it was a fantastic relaxing weekend. a fast weekend but worth the trip.
it was a bit weird for me benig in cedar city though. everyone was busy with school and life, and i was down there to play and to be rid of work for a bit. it is definietly a different scene down there when you are not going to school, and just there for a visit. however, it was great seeing friends, and i even went to visit my professors. oh i do miss the school scene but not enough to go back.
vegas was about a 10 hour trip, there and back all in a hurry. it was awesome though. so kerri had a scensy party while i was there. let me tell you about these things.... they are basically a candle but not a candle. it is more like an oil burner but with wax and light bulb. there is no candle involved which is better for the enviornment and safer for the little ones. they really are neat. i am excited to get mine for sure. if you want to know more check out here blog, there is a link to it under my friends tj and kerri.the trip was good though, we had fun and it was good to them. i do miss them a ton and wish i could be around more, but me and vegas do not really go well together.
all in all i had a great vacation. the funny thing is that i was going down that way to escape the cold and it was snowing there more that it did here in midway. oh utah weather you gotta love it.

oh winter where art thou?

so i am highly anticipating winter! i do not mind the summer, but i am ready for some snow. i miss snowboarding and my winter clothes. i know most of you are not winter people, however it is my favorite time of year. i do love the snow. i am also exciting for the leaves to change colors, that means that the snow is just around the corner. so bring on the winter days!

the real world has caught up

i got a job, i know it is about time. i am going to be working at a pharmacy in the local market here as pharmacy tech. it is a bit different for me, but it will be good. it is a job to hold me over until november when elections are over. so now it is tome for me to step out into the world and work. no more sittin on my butt for me. here i come......

the wedding

well it is official! Bennett and kelly are married and starting their new lives together. the wedding was beautiful and full of life. as Rick (the best man) said, this felt real. it is the real thing. we all had a great time. it was small and quaint exactly what was needed for such a special occassion. i am happy that i was a part of it. it is noticable in the pictures how happy everyone is. my mom and dad could not be more extactic about the union, so hapy in fact that my mom cut her hair off, it was down to her bum and now up to her shoulders different but good. it was great to see some of bennett's old friends too. jed tippetts and his wife chrissy came up, jed actually married bennett and kelly. also bennett's old roomie rick came. i love these guys they are my big brothers and i am so glad that they were here for bennett and kelly.
congrats bennett and kelly, oh and jezzie too, she was adorable in her little dress.

the zoo

a couple of weeks ago i took my niece (Jezzie), soon to be in three days, to the zoo with some of my cousins. we had so much fun.we went to the hoogle zoo in salt lake.i have never been there before but Jezzie and Kelly (sister in-law) go all the time. jezzie knew her way around for sure. the zoo had some way cool animals. i felt bad though becasue the peguins had no water, it is blasphmous (sp). however we still had a great time. we even rode the marry-go-round. it definetly brought me back to my childhood days. oh and kerri you should be proud there are people i these pictures not just animals, i have learned.
