Weekend Fun

This weekend was so much fun! Spencer and I went to Vegas, to visit his family. I was nervous, of course... Wanting them to like me, worried about making a good impression etc. But I think it went pretty well. We went down Friday afternoon, the drive wasn't all that bad. It was really beautiful around St. George, and into Arizona. After we got in Friday, we hung out with his brothers, playing video games. It was fun :) Saturday, Spencer and I went to the Outlet mall with his parents and walked around a bit, got some lunch, and went shopping. Spencer's youngest brother Ben had a school Halloween party to go to, and we went with. He was so cute, dressed up like a ninja. Later that night two other brothers, Jake and Cole, had a football game. I don't know enough about football to give a detailed description, but it was fun to watch them play. Everyone went to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner, which by the way is so much better than wingers, and then went home. Spence and I made our escape soon after, to go hang out on the strip for a while. He took me to Serendipity's, a little outdoor cafe place by Caesar's, and we got some frozen hot chocolate. There were a bunch of people all over the place, dressed up like Zombies, but I'm not sure why.... one of them growled at Spencer.Creepy girl. I wanted to hit her :) We walked around the Bellagio, looking at their Seasonal Menagerie, and then watched a couple water shows before going home. It was a great date, Spencer really is so much fun to spend time with. Anything we do together ends up being super fun. All in all it was a terrific weekend, I think it all went pretty well.

I've still got a lot to do today, and still have to take a loong nap. I'm exhausted from work this morning. But it felt good, to get up and be productive. Have a good week everyone!

To Make You Feel My Love

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven’t made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I’ve known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I’d go hungry, I’d go black and blue
I’d go crawling down the avenue
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on the rollin’ sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain’t seen nothing like me yet
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn’t do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love

This song has been in my head honestly all week long. I love it, so so much! 

"Price Check in Mens, Please"

My first "official" day at work was actually not that bad. I actually enjoy setting up the sale signs for the next morning. I'm kind of in my own world, just scanning and printing tags. No customers to deal with, no standing in one place for hours at a time... It was a little frustrating that everyone just sat around for an hour in between taking down and putting up signs. We didn't get out of there until around 2:45 am, I was only scheduled until 12:30. But other than that, things went really well. It kind of stinks working that late means I don't get to see Spencer, which is always the highlight of my day. But I'm sure we'll find a way to make things work.

I guess we're heading to Vegas this weekend to spend some time with his family. It should really be a lot of fun! I'll admit, I do miss it there. Don't tell Spencer, he wont let me live it down. This will be good though, being able to spend the whole weekend just chilling out. I feel like things have been a little chaotic, so it'll be nice to leave all the stress of work and school behind for a couple days.


I'm gonna take a nap, I'm still exhausted from getting off of work so late, and I work until 11 again tonight. Peace out everyone :)

Smell That Sweet Autumn Air

Spencer and I went hiking this weekend. It was so beautiful!! Note to self though, the next time we decide to go on a spontaneous hike through treacherous terrain, make sure I grab the right shoes... It was a perfect day though, the weather cooperated wonderfully. Spence and I went and got some ice cream, and then went for a drive up Provo Canyon. As we were driving, we saw a beautiful waterfall! Who knew that Provo has a waterfall? Anyway, we pulled over and followed this little dirt road to the base of the falls. There was a trail heading up the side of the mountain, and Spencer ran up it and into the trees. I had no choice but to follow. It was fun to see him excited about it :) It really wasn't that bad of a trail, but without proper foot attire the going was slow. I almost gave up, but Spence kept me going, all the way to the top. The mist coming off the fall was so refreshing! We took some fun pictures of ourselves, and collected some pretty, fall colored leaves on the way down. All and all, it was a pretty fabulous date :) Thanks Spence.

Spencer and I also went to P.F. Changs for dinner this weekend, as our date, and while we were waiting for a table, he took me to Build-A-Bear!! We built a bear with awesome eyebrows and an old-school Jazz jersey. It's so soft, I love it :) Dinner was amazing, of course. Spencer spoils me. Too much. I also saw Toy Story 3 this weekend, with Madison and Mark. It was fun, sort of bitter-sweet. It's like my childhood really is over now. If Andy is all grown up, I suppose I should follow his example...

Almost Halloween, and I still don't have a costume. I'm running out of time!! I'm going to carve a pumpkin this weekend, I can hardly wait!! Last Halloween seemed so long ago, holy cow. I was a nurse last year, I guess I could do the same this year... But I'd rather do something new. Hmmm. Adios!

Wednesday, and the weekend is almost here!

Do you ever have those days where your mind is so full of randomness that it gives you a headache? Mine's been like that all morning. Nothing important really, just silly things like what to make for dinner, my to-do list for the rest of the week, etc. But it was putting me on edge. So I did what any other woman in my family would do... I cleaned!

Its funny, how much I've become like my mother. I always thought she was too picky about things being clean, about us doing the dishes a certain way, or making sure we made our beds every day. I feel bad, for making such little things a constant struggle all growing up. Only now, 12 years later can I really appreciate how hard my mom worked to keep the house neat and organized. Its so frustrating to live in a constant state of chaos, as I'm learning now. Karma sucks.

Halloween is coming up! My roommate and I are going to have a costume party for all of our friends, and I want a killer outfit. Just have no idea what I want to be yet. I love this time of year though, The crisp feeling in the air, the smells, the Apple Cider and Hot Chocolate, the pumpkin carving and apple pie making :) Leaves changing colors, bonfires, s'mores... So so much to enjoy!! Wearing cute scarves and boots. Ahhh, I'm so excited. That's all for now, Happy Upcoming Holidays everyone!

I'm giving in

I did it, I created a blog. I feel so old and boring now ;) No offense to all you other bloggers out there. I actually kind of like the idea of blogging. Life is going so well right now, I almost feel like I should stay on my toes. You know the whole "if its too good to be true..." kinda thing? Yeah. But I'm just a worrier by nature, so not having anything to stress over is slightly mind-boggling! Regardless, I'm doing my best to just enjoy it as much as possible.

I found a job! One I really like too. I work at Kohl's, in training still, but after a couple months I'm hoping to get bumped up the ladder a bit...to Admin Supervisor (it's pretty much a glorified Assistant Manager). It comes with a pay-raise though, and full time means benefits through the company too, so that would be fantastic! Keep your fingers crossed for me, eh?

I'm really enjoying my move to Provo, it's been pretty grand so far. I like my apartment a lot, and my roommates are pretty okay too. It's a lot better also, not having to travel an hour one way to see Spencer. We have more time to hang out now, that's really nice. I wish Aschylus was still here though, she moved back to Minnesota for the Fall Semester, and I miss having her around. Hopefully she'll come back this way after graduation??

That's all for now, I've got places to go, people to see. This was fun though, I might just keep it up!

Hope your day goes well!
