Boating Fun

Me and KK

The soon to be bride and groom...

I'm the flag girl!

So pretty... Echo Lake...

KK the rockstar...

And that'd be me...

It's Someone's Birthday Today!

And I'm a little ferklempt (mostly because I didn't get her a gift yet)

Talk amongst yourselves...I'll give you a topic..."Duran Duran"...

Neither a Duran, nor a Duran.

DISCUSS...

Happy Birthday Debbie!

Good, No Great, Friends.

Tonight was KK's bridal shower, and I didn't even think to take any pictures the whole time but as were leaving we took this one last-minute picture. And I'm glad we did because 1. Look how cute we all are and 2. It made me stop and think about the great friends that I have.

Friends can get us through good times and bad, and bring many, many (and I mean many) moments of laughter. Because of some recent events, Candace said on the way home tonight that we need to make more memories. And I am all for that, but I was thinking, we already have so many great ones. And I'm grateful for every single one of them.

Be Well, My Dear Friend...

Bragging Rights

So we did a 30 day challenge at work==no sweets, no soda (not even diet soda, guys). I'd be lying if I said it was easy. It wasn't. It was brutal. There were days the cravings were so bad that I almost checked myself into the rehab place in Orem. (Lindsay Lohan went there, guys--so you KNOW it works.) But I am happy to say I did do all 30 days!

Not drinking any diet soda was actually worse than having no dessert. But it feels good to have kicked the habit. For now anyways...

Dear Diet Coke, even though I pretty much don't drink you anymore, you still complete me.

Home, Home on the Range...

I just spent a week in Virginia...and it was so nice...

Monuments and the Pentagon

Ooh...the sunset...

Everything was in bloom...

Sunrise...

And this little guy, my nephew...He's the cutest. Having his first Katie's frozen custard. He liked his so much he had some of mine too...Don't blame him, it's that good.

Tough Stuff. Lesson Learned.

1. Note to self: when stopping at a stoplight behind someone, leave a good mile in between you and that car, or else that car just might throw it in reverse and hit you. Note to 'throw it in reverse' lady: after you ram into my front bumper, please don't ask me for directions.

2. Note to self: practice crow pose BEFORE going to yoga class and faceplanting it on the hardwood floor. Yes, there were 40+ people in the room. And yes, the instructor did make fun of the thud I made over the loud speaker. And yes, I had the sense to go get a hot dog after class to re-find my zen.

3. Note to self: When you start your car and get out to scrape off the ice, don't forget to pull up your car's emergency break when parking on a hill. Because you may or may not have found yourself running along side your car one day this week in order to hurry and jump in to stop it.

4. Note to the person that hit my car at the gym leaving a giant scrape and taking off without a word: If you go to Zumba, I'm pretty sure my team is going to crush yours in the next dance-off. FACE.

5. Note to US Weekly: Why didn't I get my issue this week? After all that's happened, I really need my issue next week or I might have a gossip-deprived Nervy B*

And finally, we can end on a positive note:

6. Note to my new dentist: Asking me if I wanted a gold tooth instead of a regular 'ole white filling made my week, and almost made me cry a tear of joy... How did he know how much I love Lil' Wayne?

*(a nervous breakdown, guys)
