Once upon a time, it was the beginning of the summer.
A lot transpired during the summer and I have not set finger on this blog or even looked at anyone else's.
Because the thought of giving great details about all my adventures makes me tired, I will accomplish a little something with some quick phrases.
Arizona-
Drove by myself; listened to Harry Potter 7 on CD
Stopped in Vegas to see Natalie & fam
Ate In n Out
Saw Rachel & fam
Ate In n Out
Saw Mandy & Nate
Met Baby Graydon
Ate delicious shaved ice at Bahama Bucks
Lost at Settler's of Catan every night
Michael Jackson died
Georgia
Spent quality time with Dave; together we mourned the loss of EFY, being our first summer of retirement
Decided that things in Georgia are way too far apart and because of all the trees everywhere, it always feels like you're on the same road
Rocked out with Davey Archuleta
Went to a kangaroo conservation...field? There was an albino kangaroo
Perused through a replica of an alpine village and had excellent funnel cake
Experience the Coke Factory
I love Dave, Dave is my best pal.
Hill Cumorah Pageant- Palmyra, NY
Enjoyed awesome professional directors, costumers, special effects, stage crew, and flawless organization
Landed the part of sensual dancer in the wickedness of Jerusalem before it was destroyed long long ago
Met an amazing life long friend, Jeminee, and had the lovely privilege of being her personal assistant/handicap helper after she totally munched her ankle the first dance rehearsal and was on crutches the whole rest of the time!
Got to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the added joy of the Book of Mormon through performance and teaching
Hung out with some funny people
Had a crush on an 18 year old
Got a huge range of reactions to my age and my current state of life, which wasn't super fun
Was stalked by a bearded man
Had fun with Lisa and her family
Came to the conclusion that the Pageant experience is not exactly a replacement for EFY and I probably wouldn't do it again unless I do someday with my future family
Got a cold
Florida
Worked 4 shifts as a chipmunk in the extreme heat and loved it
Signed in and toured around Lisa's mom and siblings in the extreme heat and had a blast
Saw some friends
Spent lots of time with Jamie, who I love
We went to Vero Beach and stayed in a Disney resort for a couple nights and it was blissful actually...fantastic!
At said resort, Jamie got super slammed by a wave...twice in a row... and was covered with tiny shells and rocky sand in every crevise of her body. A bit traumatic, but hilarious later. We were scrubbing them out of her scalp for some hours.
Cold turned to ear infection
Oregon
Road tripped with the parents through Boise up to Medford to be at my bro's house
Had lots of diaherea on the way
Unwillingly listened to a lot of Beach Boys and Brian Wilson
Had loads of fun playing tennis with the fam everyday
Celebrated 3 birthdays- one 40th :P
Went waterskiing :)
Rode bikes
Cold and ear infection turned into crazy tonsil infection and conjuctivitis (puss coming out the red irritated eyes)

And now the school year has started! It's not too bad. I have 4th graders this year and they are quite young and incompetent. Oh and in the last couple weeks I rode wave runners a couple times, had a colonoscopy, Kevin graduated, and I super glued a plastic piece from the air mattress to my finger.

Wow! I feel like I just saw a movie in fast forward :) Thanks for the low-down, I was missing you!
Yay for coming back. Sounds like you had some funny and sicky adventures this summer. Miss your face! Did you run the labor day run?
I like the history of the cold part - from cold to ear infection to congujtivitis. and now it starts again!!!
Makes me tired just reading about your summer! I love that you live life to the fullest, AND glad that Arizona was apart of your summer!
That was the awesomest recap EVER! And i know it barely summer-izes (get it??) all of what you did & saw & experienced) So glad you did it and included the conjunctivitis, diarhea & beach boys. I have memories of riding in a buick w/ your parents listening to beach boys. Good times! & I like the beach boys. :) ...and Twilight
Great update! Made me laugh and miss you and Jaime tons! What an adventurous summer... that's the only bad thing about having a fun filled summer... trying to catch up on the blog later! :) But then it's like re-living it when you do, so it's like twice the fun! The word below that I have to verify is "snedo" funny...
