Last night I thought it would be fun to see if I would be able to find my blog. The inspiration for the search being that I have told people about my blog, but have not given them the address, so I wanted to see if it would be possible to find via a google search. The results being that it was very hard to find. Most people know me by my real name, but my blogger name is my nickname so when people try to find it using my name they have no luck. I was eventually able to find it, but only because I know the contents of my blog. So if anyone who reads my blog has found it by seeking it out, I say "congratulations," you are better than I.

Today was a good day.

I don't know what it was but today I was just really happy. It just seemed that wherever I was and whatever I was doing was fantastic. Days like today make me realize how life should be all the time. What is the point of being sad when the alternative is being happy?

I think of the running I have been doing is finally having an effect. It is amazing what a little exercise can do for ones perspective.

Too much Fun

Yesturday I hiked Mt. Timpanogos. It was an interesting experience for me. While I was doing it I just wanted to kill myself because it was such a long and hard hike. Today I am not too sore and I could probably be talked into doing it again. It was a beautiful hike and I really did like it most of the time, but going into the whole thing I thought the hike was a total of 12 miles. Come to find out it was 12 miles each way. Unfortunately we didn't find this out until we were a couple of miles in already. The highlights were 1- being on top of the second tallest peak in Utah and being able to see some beautiful sights 2- seeing some fun wildlife including moose and mountain goats 3- being able to slide down a 50 ft snow slide 4- hiking with some fun people and 5- being able to prove to myself that I am stronger than what I give myself credit for. The lowlights were 1- being so tired that I couldn't control the movements of my legs 2- getting nice and sunburned and 3- hiking for 9 hours. So I suppose there were more good things that came of the hike than bad.

I will have to post some pictures later because one of the other hikers has them all. When we went to take the first pictures I found out my batteries were dead, a fellow hiker found out his camera was being weird, and the other fellow hiker found out his memory was full. So between my memory card, anothers batteries, and anothers camera we were able to make up one camera and take some fun pictures, but it means that I don't have any of them right now. I will post them when they are sent along to me.



Looking up the canyon...still a long ways to the top.



Jake and I near the top of Timpanogos



View from the timpy top (haha timpy instead of tippy...well at least I thought it was funny)



On the way down we slid down this snow...it was freaking awesome, but really cold

I'm Broken

Okay well it is just a sprain, but I feel broken not being able to function properly and everything. Here are some cool pictures of the sprain, it is really just that ugly in person. I may be a little embarassed to go to church tomorrow...they are going to think I am abused or something.



Look how fat it is...I have freaking cankles!

Seriously

I was bored and was trying to figure out what I can do to kill some time. I looked at my blog and realized that I haven't posted anything since before Christmas and I got a little ashamed of myself. I blame the blog vacation on boys. Okay I wish I could blame the vacation on boys, but sadly the finger belongs pointed at myself. I am not really sure where all the time has gone these last two months, I think back on them and I don't believe that I have really accomplished much of anything. Oh well such is life after graduation I suppose.

This last weekend I went on a cooking spree and decided to make 120 heart-shaped sugar cookies for my mingle yesterday. It was freaking crazy, I am pretty sure that I will never make that many cookies again in my life. They ended up turning out really good though. I made pink frosting to go on top that people could add if they so desired.

I got my haircut about a week and a half ago. Below you will find the results of the haircut...both curly and straight version.




I have been looking for some new music to listen to and I found a myraid of fun artists/songs, that I enjoy. Among them are some new Jethro Tull and Mother Hips, Chromatics, Sherwood, and Valencia. The new music was much appreciated by my ipod and my ears.
