Oh The Days of Summer 09'

I'm making a new goal. I'm going to start updating my blog more often. I have been terrible at this whole blogging thing, but thanks to my sister Jenny, my page is a little more appealing (she did all the design work) and hopefully it will inspire me to write more.

I made it to my 35 day mark (a couple weeks ago) and I must say... time flew. I feel better than I did when I wrote my first post and I think I've gained momentum and strength throughout this summer of the "single" life. I have been very fortunate to meet new friends and have my families support during this difficult summer. Things are looking up. No, I'm not over my ex unfortunately but I have been dating and I've had some weird experiences in that field. Men are weird to say the least.

Anyways, I thought I'd post some pictures and of what I've been up to this summer so far, and what I've been doing to keep myself busy.

Nate and I went to WICKED in the spring (courtesy of Gary R. Jones) and we had such a great time! We were there early so we did a photo shoot with my iPhone... here are just a couple of them. You can definitely tell we are siblings in the first one...we call that face the "own it" face. Don't ask.









This next one is a picture from the Britney Spears/Pussycat Dolls concert. I went with two of my best friends, JT Thorpe, and Chad Braithwrite. This is us outside the Energy Solutions Area after the concert was over.



I've been to a few concerts, most of them just casual no name bands but there is a place in SLC called Red Butte Gardens where these concerts are held and it is the most spectacular stage! It's an outdoor stage and so you bring your own picnic and blankets, relax on the grass, and enjoy the music. Here are some pictures from the times I've been up there this summer. And yes, those are my dads feet, and they are metalic blue... I made him paint them.











I have a very sweet relationship with Johnny's (my ex) little sister Jamie. We go out on a girl date about twice a month. I usually try and take her somewhere she can learn something from so this time I took her to the museum of natural history. She LOVED it....obviously.











Okay lets see, what else. I went to bear lake with my dad and Aunt Tammy. My cousin Isabel will deny this but I totally tossed her off the jetski. Also, my friend Stevie from California came into SLC for a weekend, I went to Wendover with my grandma and grandpa, bought a new white cruiser bike, played with my neices from NYC, went to Vegas with my friend Kristina, and caught a few pictures of polygamists outside my office one Monday morning. PHEW!



























AND THE SUMMER ISN'T EVEN OVER YET!

Coming soon: New poems I've written lately.
