Goals!

Tonight at FHE we were asked to make goal for the upcoming year, we were also asked to write them down. That way we are more accountable for the goal we set and we will be able to remember them throughout the year. For those of you that know me well know that I’m not a big fan of making New Year’s Resolutions, mainly because I think that goals should be made all the time and if I were to always wait for the New Year then I would never accomplish any. On the other hand I am going to follow the advice we were given tonight and write down goals of mine and hold myself accountable for them, I’ll just call then something other than New Year’s Resolutions.

It will be called, goals that will help me be the person I want to be. I know it sound lame and ya it is a little lame but oh well.

1. Increase my scripture studies. I seem to always have a rollercoaster effect in my scripture reading. I will do really good and then fall and then do well again. I’m hoping by making this my #1 goal I will do better and become a better person.

2. Write in my journal more. I’ve never been good at writing in my journal that is why I love blogging.(even if I don’t do it all that often) I will try I be a little more consistent, some post may be boring to others, and those post will mainly be for me.

3. This goal has been a goal of mine for a while now and I’ve been working on it for over six months now. This is to do the Spudman triathlon in July 2010. This goal is one that will also have many different small goals that I will be working on daily.

These are just a few goals that I have chosen to set for myself to become a better person. I’m sure that I will add to this list and who know could even change the one’s I have set. But I think by writing them down I will be more accountable to myself and others to achieve them. Wish me luck!!!!

I was looking through my pictures and realized that I've done a lot and haven't posted about any of it. This post is going to be really long, sorry but at least there are some fun pictures. :) Too finish the summer Lisa and I drove to California and spent a week there hanging with her family. It was a lot of fun. This is us at David Archuleta concert.

Trail of 100 giants.

Wow that tree makes me look small.

The Beach!! I love the Beach I want to move to the beach.

The coolest drink...we got on the beach in L.A.

Over the summer I had started running and believe it or not I really enjoy it....I've kinda become addictive. I one of my goal that I set is to participate in Spud man next year. Spud man is a 1.5K swim a 40K bike and a 10K run. So I decided that I should start running in some 5K, I did my first one in September. I loved it, I still have a lot to work on, and a long way to go before Spud man.

Temple Trip.

My friends and I have stared going to different restaurants to eat and then we play the best game ever "Hand and Foot" hence the next few picture.

I also went skeet Shooting for the first time....who knew it was going to be so much fun, I even hit one or two. I had a bruise the next day, but it was so worth it.

For Halloween we decided to have a party we dressed up and just messed around.

Well that's what I've been up to, oh and yes school started again so that keeps me pretty busy.

I know what I've done this Summer!!!!

The summer is going soooooooooo fast. I think that this summer is really becoming one of the best summers. Luckily I convinced Lisa one of my best friend to spend the summer in the wonderful town of Burley. I know what you all are thinking Burley where's the fun in that, but if you don't already know that BURLEY ROCKS!!!!!! it really does.

I shall fill you in on the many activity that I've been up to this summer so far, and hope you don't get to jealous of all the fun this Burley girl is having.

I've made one unforgettable trip to Utah to visit family and of course play the best game ever.......While we were in Utah we went to Temple Square and took a tour of the square. I lived there most of my life and have been to Temple Square many times but have never taken a tour. I love it and would highly recommend taking one if you haven't.

We also had planned to go to the Timpanogos Cave. We got all the way up there and they were booked for most of the day so we needed to improvise. We decided to go to IKEA- all I can say is I have a new favorite store. I loved that place, you can find anything that you may need also thing you don't need but go to have. Mike, Lisa and I made sure that the chair were comfortable....and they where.

The single had a seven-stake activity...the annual talent show. I love talent shows for one main I don't have one so that means I just get to sit and relax and enjoy everyone's talents. Well I didn't just get to relax and this one Mindy(the most amazing activity's person ever) suckered me into sharing a talent of using pickup lines. For someone that has never ever used a pickup line on a guy(don't get me wrong I flirt, I've just have never used a pickup line). I needed expert advise, Lisa told me two that she has heard.

These are the two that I shared with over 40 people.

"Do you have an over due library book........because you have fineed written all over you."

"I lost my Teddy bear can I cuddle with you instead?"

Can you believe that I didn't even get a date out of that...how sad. It was a lot of fun and many other people shared real talents.

The first two week in June it rain the whole time. Which made our first branch boating was a little cold. That night the weather was about 65 degrees, no big deal for the crazy Parke Ave Branch we still had a blast.

In case you cant tell which one is me....of course I'm the one with the funny face.

Josh, Jen and Hunter came to visit and I got to have my Hunter fix...I love that boy.
This last Saturday I had a 15 Stake service/activity. We grouped with the Cassia County Fair Board to paint the fairgrounds. It was a lot of fun yet really hard work....I can't wait to see it shine for the fair and rodeo in August.

After the service Mindy, Lisa and I decided to go to the two falls. We first went to Star Falls I had just gone there about a mouth and a half ago and it had more water then it did the last time we went. I think that its so pretty. After star we drove the rest of the way to Shoshone Falls, because of all the rain fall we have been having this is the most water they have had going over the falls in a long time. It's so beautiful.

After all the falls hoping we went to dinner at Johnny Carinos..

This Monday we had our 2nd boating FHE. Thank goodness this time it was about 95 degrees, much warmer then last time. I lucked out, in having to give the lesson.

This was our little work out boat.

Of course there was food.

I jumped off the rock agian....I think that it was even scarier then last year.

..........."I think I can.....I think I can"...........

..............Yes I did it Finally.

As you can see I have been really busy having a blast........can't wait for all the many more adventures I will be having the rest of the summer.
