2009 FINALLY!!!

It's been a long week, but a good one.

Monday night I had dinner with my cute friends from the old hood. It was super. I sure miss Jess not living here. But luckily I get to see Kri a lot, and Kate everyday, Beth... Not as much. We should do that more.




Then I hung out with my NEW HOOD friends, who always come with LONG and GREAT chats! I'm a little too old to stay up til 4am chatting about life though. Monday was great! Friends are the BEST!!! Especially when they find you ACT II mini bags! Thanx Erin.

Then Wednesday the brother and I hit the road on a little adventure. We left from Lehi, UT at 9:30am and finally pulled into Buttonwillow, CA at about 9pm. We rang in the NEW YEAR a couple hours early at the Homeland Inn (TRASH INN) we watched Robby Madison's New Years jump, witch was awesome. (watch the video)

Thursday morn, we were up EARLY and headed to Taft, CA to see the DAD at camp. Which was so awesome. Both Dustin and I had our expectations, and we were pleasantly surprised to find we had nothing to worry about. Dad is doing good, working hard, and is grateful for all of your thoughts, prayers, letters, and support. We had a great 7 hour visit that day. Then "Judy" lead is to the local mall! Brother is so good to me, he let me spend over an hour in the Sephora! That's love!!! Or maybe he knows I'm in a bad place and really needed it. Either way, I'm appreciative. Then we met up with coach and stayed at a much better hotel in Bakersfield, ahhh!

Friday we went back to the camp and spent a couple more hours with the dad. And then HAULED to George to watch the game, making it just in time for kick off!
THE GAME, I can't right now find words to blog about that game while still giving it the honor and respect it deserves. Let's just say... WOW, I'm so freaking proud to be a UTE! Not as proud as the guy that raised 1800 bucks to get to the SUGAR BOWL probably is, but close. HERE'S MY GAME HIGHLIGHT SLIDE SHOW...

Now, Saturday... I'm riding in the car while we log over 1400 miles in 3 and a half days. I've had lots of fun this week, but I'm really looking forward to going back to routine. I'm also looking forward to the party Tuesday for the Brother. He's moving to George Wednesday... If you wanna come to the party Tuesday email me.

Happy New Year!!! I hope 2009 is better than 2008 for everyone. Especially me, I know I'm selfish!!!

LOVES
