Working Woman...again

I started my new job yesterday at Hill Air Force Base. I do NOT enjoy the commute!! I have to be there at 7am, and I am NOT a morning person. Other than that, so far so good :) I am in orientation until next Wednesday, then start my actual position Thursday, January 28.

I got some pics posted before I started working which I'm happy about, although my goal was to get them all posted. I plan to get the rest posted this weekend, then I will be caught up!! YAY!! Now the trick will be to stay caught up ;)

St. George

My father recently changed territories for work and gets to go to St. George now, well it changed in August 2009, so the end of August I went with him for 3 days. I had lost my job a couple weeks before and thought I would hop in the car and go for a ride and relax out by the pool while my dad was working. It was nice, hot and relaxing :) Then my mom had a break from school for UEA the beginning of October 2009 and thought she would take my grandma down to Tuacahn and the Shakespeare Festival for some plays. I decided to hop in the car again and join them after I had a couple of job interviews. My dad planned to go down for work at the same time too. We stayed at my aunt and uncle's house which is close to Tuacahn which was nice since the shows we saw were there. We saw Footloose and Aida at Tuacahn.

Then we spent one day in Cedar City to see The Complete Works of William Shakespeare and The Women in Black at the Shakespeare Festival. In between plays we drove up to Cedar Breaks to take in the beautiful scenery.

We also went hiking and to the Dinosaur Tracks Museum during the day since the shows were at night. While we were on our hike, we ran into a couple turtles wondering around on the trail. My mom kept saying she wanted to see a turtle and at the end we saw 2!!

San Diego July 2009

My mom won a trip for 4 to San Diego on the radio and my family chose to use the trip for the week of July 4th, 2009. It included 3 days/2 nights at a hotel, 4 passes to the Contemporary Art Museum and 4 passes to Sea World. When my littlest sister, KD, was younger and my family went to Sea World, she wanted to swim with the dolphins SOOOO bad but my dad told her no! So ever since then she would tell my dad he "owed" her. So this time she finally got to swim with the dolphins, and Alyssa and me too!!

Our last day in San Diego we also went to tour the U.S.S. Midway, a Naval Air Craft Carrier.

Towards the end of our trip, we headed to Hollywood to see Michael Jackson's star on the Walk of Fame. It was about a week after he had past away.

There was so much stuff from fans that flooded the sidewalk they had to block it off to create room for people to walk.

The last day of our trip was the 4th of July, we went to watch fireworks at the Newport Beach Country Club where my aunt's mother and aunt live. Such a wonderful, fun and much needed vacation!

New Year Resolution, BLOG!

So....my New Year Resolution is to keep my blog updated! I have been out of a job for just over 5 months and updating my blog was on my list of things to do since I had all the time in the world, on top of looking for a job. Obviously I didn't take advantage of all my time off, or did I? While looking for a job I got to travel to Long Beach, CA, Washington, D.C. and Virginia Beach, VA, Philadelphia/New Jersey, and St. George a couple times. Most of my traveling was for job interviews, except St. George. After all these interviews, I luckily received a job offer! I start my new job Jan. 19th at Hill Air Force Base! So my new goal is to get pics uploaded from all my travels and get caught up on my blog before then! I can do it! I have one week! So check back soon for pics!!

My family and I (minus KD :( )decided to participate in National Trails Day in June. We went on a fun little hike along Bonneville Shoreline Trail behind Red Butte Garden. It was beautiful and we got to take our puppy Roman :)

Hello Blog World

Once again I have slacked off big time and not posted for months! SORRY! It has been a wild few months; first I was stuck in a job I hated working my butt off, I finally got a vacation which was the BEST week of my life! Then, I was laid off my job and attended a few weddings with a few more weddings coming soon. One of my goals since I was laid off is to update my blog with pics from my vacation and the weddings and more. So this is a start, but look for pics to come soon!!

M.I.A. Again

Wow, it is already June! I can't believe it and I haven't posted anything for months, so sorry! Well, not really I guess since I am so boring, I don't have anything fun to share. I don't get to go enjoy the outdoors, or go on vacations, or even just little weekend getaways which really upsets me, I love to do those things. Maybe I will get to do that again one day....I'm just stuck in a job I hate that doesn't give me any time to do what I enjoy, it's always WORK, WORK, WORK!

Wait, I did get to go to Wicked when it was in town! That was super fun! I went with my sister Alyssa, my BFF Amanda and Amanda's parents. I'm also planning on going to Lagoon next weekend, weather permitting.
