Back in Action!

I created a weak-sauce blog a couple years ago that I blame on peer pressure, and that was all she (I) wrote. But...I've turned a new leaf. I'm always forgetting dates and who was at what events and such so, I was thinking keeping up on this might help. Plus..I love looking at people's blogs to see what they've been up to, so we'll see how I do. I'm not making any promises of upkeep just yet though. I don't even know how to add pictures yet. haha


Here's a slightly quick overview of 2009 events that stand out

January-Vegas fun with the Buttars

We took a fun trip to see Phantom and Jersey Boys and had some memorable experiences and met some memorable people. haha

Dave, Sarah, Me, Thom


February-Birthday fun with the Reids and Buttars

Mine and Alisa's birthdays are back to back, so every year we do something fun together. I love it. I love her! We went TUBING in Park City and to dinner at Squatters. First time having calamari. Such fun.






March-Florida, Orlando & Daytona

I went to FL on a fun lil' family trip with ma, pa, Kris, my cousins Kellee and Glen and my aunt and uncky Karen and Lynn. We had such a great time and I got to swim with my parents in the ocean for their first time. Ah I love them!!


Me and Pa




April-Working Miss Saigon @Pioneer Theatre


I'm kind of a theatre nut, and I started working at Pioneer as on the wardrobe crew (thanks to Thom) just in time for my very favorite show ever Miss Saigon! So needless to say, I made everyone I know go see it. I could have played Kim myself by the time I watched the show 4 times, and heard it backstage every other night. It was so much fun getting to know all the actors from NY and meeting new friends. Thom and I laughed our buns off every night. Any time spent with my Thommy is a good time. Loved it!








May-Bear Lake fun Memorial weekend



Ahh family traditions are the best. My oldest brother built a cabin 2 summers ago up there, so we've been fortunate enough to have a lot of good times up there. Thanks brozie!!








Camp out with the gals-South Fork'n Fun!


This trip was meant to be. We had such a good time talking, laughing and..learning (wink wink) all the night long. Love you guys!




June-Idaho Cabin/Jackson Hole fun fun fun!


Bar J Wranglers. My dad's a huge fan, he was grinning from ear to ear the whole show. So cute.



Nieces that I adore.

Rafting Adventures at the cabin. My favorite place to be.

My mom has all the pictures, I need to get them from her. We went with my singing group. It was an amazing experience spiritually, and such a fun time. It's incredible there!


Halloween
Missy Lou and me. I made half the people in our office dress up. hehe Good sports. I've worked with Miss for 11 years now (poor girl) she's one of a kind friend.




November-CD Finalizing!


Well after 8 or 9 months of being in the studio with Producer Mark Stephenson, my sister and I finished our first sacred-themed CD. Our favorite things to do are spend time with our family and sing. So we feel so fortunate to have this opportunity to bear our testimonies of the Savior through song and grow closer to Him by doing so.



December-Girls night



Ashley, Sam, Sarah, Codee, Alisa, Kristin, Katy, Me


Talk about a fun group. I seriously have the most amazing friends out there. Ah I love these girls.

Christmas

Christmas is always such a fun time at my parents house. I have16 nieces and nephews and I love them to pieces. They mean the world and then some to me.


Uh...
Well those are some of my favorite events that transpired through the year of 2009. Twas' a bit longer than I expected it to be, but fun remonicing. Hopefully I'll be better about more regular updates.
