Summer Events... Past, Present, and Future

Past...
Yesterday Andrea and her Softball team won the intermural softball championship and they got a champion shirt. It was pretty awesome and very intense. Andrea caught a great hit by the other teams best hitter and then they won after the next guy hit. They got him out and won by one run. It was an awesome game! Andrea's so good at softball and her team was pretty good too I guess. haha

Present...
Brian graduated from Notre Dame today with his masters degree in Accounting! WOW. That is tough I've heard. He was in an accelerated program so he got his degree in just two summers. crazy. ...and I thought American Heritage was hard.

It's my BIRTHDAY!!! I feel weird posting about this, just cause it feels like I want all the attention, but I'm ok without it. I'm going golfing today with Devon, which is weird because he never wants to go golfing. Maybe he's being nice to me cause it's my birthday. :D ...and because I can get him a way good deal. I'M 18!!! CRAZY!!!

Future...
Finals for my summer term are next week on Wednesday and Thursday, and then I'm done with American HERITAGE!!! HURRAY!!! I'm so glad I got that class out of the way first thing. And I'm really excited to go home!

Andrea is graduating in a week from BYU!!! She's graduating from the nursing program and yes, she is a genius. I'm a little sad because Ryan and her are moving farther away. But they'll still only be about twenty minutes away so I guess it's not too bad.

I get to see CADENCE!!! When I go home Brian, Kelli and Cadence are going to be home waiting for me!!! :D :D :D

Lynne is getting married in TWO WEEKS to Dave Kimball! I'm so excited for her and it's going to be awesome to see all the family.

The second week that I'm home I'm going to YOSEMITE!!!! Mom, dad, and I are going with the Brassfield's, it will be the first time in years that we went with them. It's going to be so fun.

Summer term is winding down

Summer term is winding down and I only have about a week left. I'm soo glad I started summer term and I'm SOOOO glad American Heritage is almost over... :D I have two finals left to take and then I am officially done. I'm excited for Fall to start and FOOTBALL GAMES!!! I just bought my All-Sports Pass with lots of friends so it's going to be AWESOME!!! Plus I'm taking a scuba class in the Fall and I'm going to get certified. It's going to be so fun. I'm just filled with excitment. And Lynne's wedding is in TWO WEEKS AND THREE DAYS!!! I'm so excited for her and to see all my family and stuff. Nothing like a marriage to bring the family together. A funeral can do the same thing, but you can't be quite as happy at a funeral. hahaha I love our family... :D

California!

This weekend my friends and I are driving to California from BYU Provo. OH I'm sooo excited. It's going to be sooo much fun. I haven't been home since June 18th. It's been over a MONTH. I've never been away from home this long. NEVER! I miss my mom and dad... :D ....what? just because I'm in college doesn't meen I can't miss my mom. Right?!? ...right. So, we're staying at my aunt and uncles house in Vegas on Thursday night and then driving the rest of the way on Friday morning. We're all staying at my Grandma and Grandpa Workman's house. It's going to be AWESOME! I'm so excited to go to the beach. I haven't gone to the beach at all this summer yet. oooooww and a Bonfire! YUMMMM.... I love the beach. Why is there no BYU in California??? I'm pretty sure that's one of the biggest oversites ever. haha No... I love it here. It's a little hot but that's Utah. At least my Air Conditioning is fixed now. It's been fixed for a week but I'm still appreciating it because we lived THREE weeks without it. WOW it was hot, esspecially at night. I HATE sleeping while it's hot. I can't handle it. ...watch I'm going to go somewhere on my mission REALLY hot. wow, that's something, I only have a year and two weeks till I go on my mission. That's an interesting thought.... haha I say that because I'm excited but at the same time it's very nerve wracking. I meen I JUST got done telling you how much I miss home and it's only been five weeks... and we're talking TWO YEARS here. That's crazy. haha so this turned into a completely different post than it was set out to be. haha Oh well. That's what you get when I have a blog where I can write anything I want to. and you ALL MUST READ!!! MUHAHAHA haha ok. now I'm just weird. see ya in California on the 24th!!!!

Water Balloons & Guns

For a while now, there's been this group of guys that are up on the third floor that have nothing better to do than throw water balloons at people. So yesterday I was throwing my water bottle away in the dumpster outside, and I thought I saw a water balloon fall out of the dumpster, so I look to see if there's any more. And then I get hit in the back of the leg with one. I thought it was funny, and I saw the open window where it came from. So I went inside and then I came out like 5 minutes later to go to Del Toco, and I turn around real quick and yelled, HEY! and pointed right at the kid that had his head sticking out the window. He didn't know what hit him. He ran away from the window all quick. So then today, I was walking back from dinner and I remembered that they threw water balloons all the time. So I looked up just in time to see water flying RIGHT towards me. I GOT DRENCHED!!!! It was so funny, but then other people wanted to get them back so we filled up some water balloons and threw them at their window. And THAT is how the war began.... MUHAHAHHAHA

The Narrows

This is the view from our Motel that we stayed at. Pretty spectacular, and the pool that we went in for literally 2 minutes. (Ryan and Alo are whimps) And here are more pictures of the hike.

basically flipped out when I saw that one... right in the middle of the Cougar Eat. haha
I'm SOOO HAPPY!!!!!!

Fourth of July Fun

Some Family came to me for Fourth of July, and I had so much fun. In the morning, mom and dad picked Devon and me up and took us to Sundance. In the winter it's covered in snow and there's a ski lift... but in the summer it's a MOUNTAIN BIKING LIFT!!! We went mountain biking on the 4th of July. And we had a BBQ. A lot of my family was there. My Grandma and Grandpa, Parents, Andrea and Ryan, Lynne and Dave, Workmans, and some of my Grandpa's siblings. It was awesome.
Devon and I went on this one bike trail way out on the other side of the mountain. It was a little freaky because on the left side the mountain went straight up, and on the right side, the mountain went straight down. But it was sooo worth it, the views were AMAZING!!! I felt like we were on top of the world. There were 5 Hawks flying all around us while we were biking and it felt like they were waiting for us to die, so they could eat us. haha, good thing we didn't die. ...except Devon almost did.... 0_0 I was safe, except the time I flipped forward over my bike. haha that was fun. Pulled the brakes a little too hard that time. :D It didn't hurt, so it wasn't too bad. Anyway it was a BLAST... not just the flipping over the handle bars part. haha

WORD OF THE YEAR!!!!

Ineffable -adjective

incapable of being expressed or described in words; inexpressible

My friend Mercedes found this word in our American Heritage text book, so we looked it up. I am TOTALLY going to use it from now on. You know, to describe those things that are ineffably amazing! Or... "Those mountains are INEFFABLE!!!"

BYU!!!

Today I went to my first BYU class and I thought it was pretty good. It was in a big classroom/auditorium with a bunch of students. You know, the college experience. Typical stuff.
My first class by the way was American Heritage... I know everyone says it's soo hard. But I feel confident that I will be ok. I just have to keep up on my reading. The teacher seems pretty tight. He's cool and there's a ten minute break during the two hour class, which is nice. And he showed a lot of clips of things on the power point.
I know you all think I'm briliant... haha jk... but I could always use some advice. So if any of you out there have taken the class, or just want to give me advice, post a comment. I miss you guys.

Satisfying the beast that is Andrea

Andrea has been all over my case because I haven't been keeping her "visually informed"... at least that's what she called it. I really don't have time now to write a post, but wanted to give the girl what she wants. Mom's already getting mad at me for sitting at the computer putting these pictures on and not packing. I need to pack. I'll update more later.
