~ The temple dedication yesterday was so inspiring and I am so glad I was able to attend. The House of the Lord is such a special place and each time I go I leave with a greater desire to be better and I am reminded again why I must strive to live worthy and in a manner consistent with my Heavenly Father's will. I love how strongly I feel the spirit. I am so blessed to have the gospel in my life.
~ I am so grateful for good friends. When I was living at home I was blessed to have had excellent friends and it was really hard for me to leave home and go to school not knowing anyone and having to find new friends. I have found that no matter where I go there are good people and I just have to find those people who have the same standards and values I do. I have made so many friends since I've left home and each person has enriched my life in their own way and I am so glad that God places people in our lives and allows us to learn from and enjoy those friendships.
~ I've found that carrying out decisions is often harder than making decisions.
~ A clean and organized home/room/work place allows me to relax a little more, stress a little less and ultimately I am happier when things are in order.
~ I love how much better I feel during the day when I get up to exercise in the morning.
~ I love my job. Children are so innocent and pure and the kids at work brighten my day in so many ways. I consider it a privilege to be able to work with them; I only hope I can be even the slightest influence for good in their lives.

My Summer
My summer has been pretty jam packed with activities and because I haven't had my computer for the last two months I have not been able to blog about it so I will just sum it all up into one big entry.
I went caving with my friend Tyson this last Saturday and it was awesome!
Two of my friends got married this last Thursday and this was their reception.
The day of my birthday I cut my hair again. I'm loving the short hair and the bangs. This picture was taken right after blow drying, no straightening at all. Be jealous!
I went to dinner with my family a few days before my birthday and as expected the restaurant workers made me put on the hat before they would sing happy birthday to me.
On the 4th of July I wrecked on my mom's scooter and this is my battle wound. The bruises lasted for almost three weeks!
In the first week of June Kimmy and I went to Havasupai with some family and friends. Havasupai is a beautiful oasis at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. 10 mile hike in, 3 days hiking and exploring the waterfalls, rivers and canyons, then 1o mile hike out. It was so beautiful!
My first sunburn of the summer. I was hurtin pretty bad.
Good times with Kimmy at a dance party held right outside my apartment door.
And this is my car! I bought it in March but I never posted a picture of it. Isn't it so cute? I love it!

Customer Service
I have had some serious issues with costumer service people lately.
1) My mom ordered a ipod hookup for my car for my birthday and the dealership people said they would call me when the part arrived....a week after they said it would be here I called them and they said, "Yeah, it's been here for over a week, you just need to come pick it up." MILDLY ANNOYING
2) I had my doctor send in a medication renewal form to my meds dispensing people about 3 weeks ago. A week after it was sent in I get a voicemail saying they need an address verification and to call back, so I did. When I called back the lady said there was no record of them calling me. To make a long story short this pattern of them calling and then not knowing why they called went on for another two weeks. I called again 2 days ago and finally got to the bottom of it and my medication arrived early this morning. REALLY ANNOYING
3) On June 5th I was in the middle of burning cd's to take on my 10 hour drive to Havasupai and suddenly my computer crashes. It sits on my family room floor for a month and then after the 4th of July weekend I take it in to get fixed. They told me it would take maybe two days to get back to me to tell me the problem. After 9 days of waiting I call them and they said the tech is out of the office but that my computer was on his table so he would contact me the next day. Another week goes by and I call again and they tell me the problem, estimated cost of the fixing it and asking me what I wanted to do. I said "Fix it." They told me it would take 24 hours to fix and they'd call me the next day. A week later I call and they say, yep it's ready come get it. I go pick it up and they hand me my computer, but no power cord. I ask "Where is the power cord?" The guy runs into the back and comes back with a cord that is not MY power cord and tells me one of the guys accidently sent my power cord with another customer and they ordered me a new one and they'd call me when it got there. I have yet to hear from them. SUPER ANNOYING!
I don't think I have ever had a big problem with any kind of customer service. They say bad luck hits in sets of three so hopefully I've had my share and the customer service world will return to normal and be nice and call me when they say they will!
So I haven't posted in over two months because my computer was out of comish but I expect to be posting more often from now on now that I FINALLY have my computer back and the internet is FINALLY up and running in my apartment building after being offline for the last couple weeks. :)
