A granddaughter trip to Rite-Aid

So after arriving in SLC we granddaughters went on a spur of the moment trip to Rite-Aide with the little g of G&g. We raided the candy isle. Dark chocolate Ghirardelli carmel bar... so yummy!


And I quote "I've got to have this."


Yes this is my grandfather... we are alike in so many ways.





My cousin Maryssa scolding me for taking her picture... don't worry, I'll my Ryss!

Progress! YES!

I feel pretty great about two things that I did today.

First is that I WORKED OUT! Go me! My legs are a bit sore now but is one of those good kinds of sore and I love it!

The second is that I wrote in my journal for the first time in about 3 years. I feel strongly about recording things that go on in life and was surprised at myself each time I fell off the wagon in these past years. I came to realize that wanting to record what is going on in life is a good sign and I hope this good feeling keeps me going.


Tomorrow I am off to Salt Lake City to see my family for a graduation and I am so excited A) to escape the 110 degree weather even if for 24 hours B) to see family and C) not to go to work (some guys swore at me before 9:30 AM today, twice. I already need a day off.)

I was a great weekend to...

...get accepted to nursing school! KB got accepted to Chamberlain College of Nursing a week ago Friday and will be starting July 5th so we went out to dinner to CELEBRATE! YAY!




...turn one! The monkey is now a year old and I cannot believe it. He got all sorts of toys, books and clothes. I would have to say that he loves his new wagon... he just sat in it after his dad put it together and pulled him around in it. He is the cutest thing with all of the noises he makes; his mom calls them "boy noises." I love the mess he made with the cake. (sorry about the crappy picture)



...to turn 8! Jade is my neighbor and she turned 8 this week and was baptized Saturday. I really need to be better about having my camera with me. I will have to get a picture from her mom of this because she looked so cute in her dress afterward. It's great to be 8!

Good night nurse.

Today the pool opened officially for the summer. I am EXHAUSTED! Everything went well but there is a list a mile long of things to do.

On a yummy note. I went to a wedding reception tonight and they had a pizookie bar! By far the best thing I've ever seen at a wedding reception, next to Panda Express catering the dinner. People, I'm taking notes!

I apologize if for the next 7 weeks all I talk about is the pool. It will be my life.

My friend Melissa left on her mission today. She will be serving the next 18 months in the Philippines and I know she's going to ROCK! I love you Missy! See you soon!
