Since I've been gone #1

So, much has happened in the past 7 months that I have failed to update. I am determined to play catch-up and get updated on all the highlights of all that has happened.
Here is something new:
I got this.

That's right. I am now a Mac user.

All semester Ally's computer has been acting up and was basically worthless. Instead of wasting her time with it she just borrowed my computer most of time. One day she had a little "accident" with it involving a glass of water. Whoops. The computer was dead.
A few days later I went out and got the Mac as a replacement. Good choice. Plus, since I'm a student I got a free printer with it. Score!

Anyways, more updates to come later. For now, I have to go write my personal statement for Dental School applications. It is due in approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes and I have yet to start it!
(I have thought about it a little bit though. And isn't it the thought that counts? I hope the dental schools think so...)

I'm back?

September 23rd.

That was the last time I posted something. Even then, that post was just an inside joke between Heidi and I. So technically the last time I wrote was July 14th. About 7 months ago. Yikes.
So now, I'm thinking maybe I'll come back. Maybe? Maybe not?
We'll see...

No.

Resolutions.

At the beginning of the year, I wrote out a list of 40 things I wanted to accomplish in 2008; New years resolutions, if you will. I was looking over them a couple days ago. Half a year has passed. Let's see how I've done:

1. Bring up my GPA (um... haven't accomplished that just yet.)
2. Go to Hawaii (upon snooping in my parents e-mail a few days ago, Ally discovered reservations for a hotel in Hawaii for a family of five in August. So, CHECK.)
5. Save money and stop spending so much (refer to this post. Christian Dior. Enough said.)
8. Cook more (I have yet to cook a single meal this year...)
9. Go to the gym 2-3 times per week (haha. Yeah right.)
10. Sew something and FINISH it (I'm pretty sure I'll go my entire life without accomplishing this one)
12. Get a new black purse (CHECK. I've actually bought myself 2 new black purses so far. Refer to resolution number 5)
15. Run (refer to resolution number 9)
17. Take more pictures (CHECK. But, I guess I could always take more)
22. Road trip (CHECK. Refer to this post)
23. Have an adventure (CHECK. I went to Vegas by myself in June for a course at the Dental school. That was quite the adventure. Plus, I'm going to Guatemala in August... that will definitely be an adventure)
31. Win something (CHECK!! Refer to this post and this post. A DVD player, an iPod and a gas card. I say I've dominated this one)
33. Don't get married (CHECK. Not like it was hard though.)
35. Decorate (CHECK. Thanks to an IKEA trip in May, Heidi, Ally and I sucessfully redecorated our living room)
36. Clean out my closet (Not quite. I started to last weekend. But then my friend Tyler called and I went and got all-you-can-eat sushi with him instead. The small amount that I actually accomplished is currently laying on the floor in my room and will probably remain there for the next couple of months)
40. Take more risks (Not really. I feel like I've been really lame lately)

So, there is the list (well, most of it at least. I chose to leave out a couple resolutions...) In conclusion, it is July and I have failed to accomplish all but 8 of my 40 resolutions. Not good. On the bright side, its only July. I still have 5 more months...

Rexburg.

Saturday night, I texted Jay asking him what he was up to. He asked me if I wanted to go to Rexburg. I said sure. He knew someone throwing a party up there and wanted to go. So, we (Jay, Ally and I) left Salt Lake at about 6:00, got to Rexburg at about 10:30, partied for a couple of hours and then turned around and drove back. It was quite the adventure. We didn't get home until 5:30 in the morning and I had to be up in a couple hours later for a meeting. So tired.

Unfortunately, these are the only pictures I managed to take of the trip.

I offered to pay for gas on the way home. Lucky me, though. I still seem to be on my winning streak and I ended up winning a $20 gas card. That was nice.

New.

It’s been approximately 45 days since I last posted anything on here. Long time. And while much has happened, I’m really not in the mood to play catch-up. I’ll save that for later (and by later I mean never).

However, I am in the mood to tell you about my newest purchase: the Dior Strassy 1 sunglasses.

Christian Dior. Enough said.

At the Drive In.

After dinner with Sam and Jessica on Saturday night, we were looking for something fun for the five of us to do. After brainstorming for awhile, we decided we wanted to go a drive-in movie theatre and did a little research and found one in Salt Lake. So, we threw a bunch of blankets and couple of bean bag chairs into the back of my truck (oh yeah, I drive a truck now) and went up there and watched Iron Man from the back of the truck. So fun. It was a little windy but we had a bunch of blankets and were pretty bundled up. It was fun to do something different other than the usual Provo Scene. On the way back, we stopped because it started raining and we wanted to bring some of the blankets in so they wouldn't be wet. Jessica had brought a really big body pillow and it was no longer in the truck. It had flown out sometime while we were driving. haha. I feel sorry for the person driving behind us at the time...
