24th of July

We all went over to Jessica´s house on the 24th and went to the mall, talked, ate and just hung out. It was a fun day.
David, Sabrina and I lit fireworks and tried to make a few of our own. We played pictionary and charades with spaklers- very fun!

Day 1 in Mexico

Today has been an intersting day! I like it a lot! My first flight from slc to vegas went perfectly, after a few tears and dollars my flight to monterrey was good too. Airplanes and airports are pretty cool not too scary. I liked it. I am so thankful for Daniela my "i link" buddy that was set up from the school. She picked me up from the airport and helped me change my money from dollars to pesos. We had some good conversations in spanish and english. its so crazy- i´ve spoken more spanish today than my whole life combined. I like it a lot. We drove to my hotel (Monterroco Hostel) and saw a lot of the city. Its so different- more trees, more humidity, the houses are not so nice, the streets and drivers are freakier, the stop lights are so cool and flash if they are about to change colors. I really like this hotel its like a house. The girls little dorm has 4 bunkbeds. There are SO many exchange students that come to this scool- UDEM and also monterrey Tech. I´ve met people from france, austrailia, finland, belgium, mexico, new york, lots from france actually. So the conversations are half spanish, half french and half english. The people are SOO nice and always kiss on one cheek when you come and leave. We got drinks at the gas station, ate dinner. People smoked and drank at the dinner table so that was different but its cool getting to know people. The owner of this place is so cool. Then Daniela and i went to a party and i met some of the people i´ve met on facebook and lots of cool friends. I´m glad Daniela doesn´t drink. I´ve been trying to speak a lot of spanish. its really hard! I am So tired so i cant add pictures! Sorry I couldn´t call mom and dad, my phone doesn´t work. weird i know...I love you so much!! they have different keyboards here. and green taxi´s. Thats all for today folks!

Mexico here I come!

I had a going away BBQ on Wednesday day and had lots of friends come. My family decorated the backyard so cute- we had a fiesta! THanks guys. I am going to Mexico for the next 5 months and really excited. I will miss you guys but it'll be a good experience. LOVE YOU ALL!!

We had a pinata and it was awesome getting into the mexican spirit. Haha

Best Friends- Caitlyn and Shar being thugs haha

Afterwards we went downtown and hung out with some people that were sleeping over to get good spots for th parade the next day. THanks everyone for coming. I had a blast! No worries I will blog all about my new adventure!!

Golfing

Last night I went real golfing for the first time and it was so fun! I thought golfing would be kinda boring but you get that one good shot that keeps you going. We went to fore lakes- so pretty easy course- great place to start on the 3 par to build your confidence even if you suck. haha. Summer is great!

Friends

Summer has been fun! I love Lance, Ashly, and Nikki. Lance and I go to lunch sometimes cuz he's serving a service mission downtown and my job is kinda down there. Ashly is in New York being a nanny for a year. I'm thankful for good friends!

Thursday night I went country dancing with Nikki, Amber and some other people at Studio 600 and it was a blast! They have country dancing in one room and hip hop in another room. We had fun.

4th of July

I'm proud to be an American

Busy fun week... No pictures...

So I am lame and still haven't fixed my broken camera. I haven't taken lots of pictures but when I do I just have to use other people's camera's. But its been a while since i've posted anything and so i thought i'd add some excitement to my page. I like my job and the people I work with. On Friday night I went to the drive in with Tylee (friend I met at work.). We saw Kung Fu Panda and I love it!

SAVIOR OF THE WORLD

Sabrina and the rest of the kids in the stake have been practicing for the play- Savior of the World. We watched that and it was really good about Christ's birth and resurrection. Good job Sab! She was an angel and sang.

Then Sunday night all my family went to Melinda and Chad's and we played games. I was so fun. Thanks Mel. We need to do it more often.

HaPpY BIrTdAy DaViD! We've had lots of birthdays and holidays in a row with Mothers Day, Marcus's birthday, Marcus baptism, Fathers day, Scott's birthday and monday was David's birthday. Everyone went bowling...while I enjoyed a hard day of work. Growing up is oh so fun getting a real job. We had a yummy dinner, David opened presents and we went to marcus babseball game and he did awesome! Mikell is so cute! I babysat her for a little bit on Saturday morning and she is so fun and smart. She's getting big.

Last night I hung out with Jay and Daminel. We saw Get Smart. It is such a funny movie. I was laughing the whole time! Summer is fun!
