Blind Date

Yesterday was the first time I was able to experience a blind date. I have to say it was quite the experience. My story begins with Paul (why he chose me is still unknown) asking me to go on a blind date with his friend Jason. Katie and I did some investigating and thought we had figured out who Jason was. The 103 wrestler for AF is also named Jason and lives in Pauls ward. We thought he was the one. To be honest I am a little sad it wasn't just because it would have made the night that much funnier. So the orginal plan was that we were going to go iceblocking for the date or that is what Paul told me (Jason never actually called me and asked me out. It was all Paul.) When I got in the car I was informed that ice blocking had been canceled and the new plan was playing games at the Johnson household (I can say that I have been there for more than one date. Sadly on this date we didn't play the board games on their wrestling mat. I thought about asking them if we could, but chickened out.) After board games the boys hadn't planned anything else so the rest of the night was pretty random. We went to dinner at Cabo grill (Paul's girlfriend works there). After dinner we attempted to watch two movies, but my date wasn't in the movie mood, so we ended up hanging out at some park until it was time to go home. It was a good one, but now I can officially say I have been on a blind date.

Packing OCD

So for those of you who didn't know this about me I am OCD when it comes to packing. I have to pack a week or so early even for the shortest vacations. I have a tendency to pack and then repack just to make sure I have everything. I think that is the reason I am not a light packer. I drive myself crazy doing this, but I love to pack. Well packing for college has been no different. I couldn't fight the urge to pack any longer and as a consequence I am all ready ready to move in to my apartment. Sadly move in day isn't for another three weeks and so all of my stuff is spread across the floor of my room, just sitting there. Go me!

Gone Fishing

My Papa Russ is in town from Florida and everytime he comes out he spends a lot of time fishing. Today I was able to tag along with him and Cade. It was quite the adventure.
Here is the first catch of the day. My papa caught the first two and then I managed to catch two myself. I am a natural when it comes to fishing.
This is my Papa and Cade.
Fish Face!!
I have to say the most disguisting part of fishing is dealing with the worms. Not only do you have to dig them out of the container, but after you find one you have to break it in half with your fingers and then to top it off you stab it with the hook. Gross I know.

Farewell Again..

Today was the day Benson went to the airport!

Skinny Jeans

With college fastly approaching there has been much contemplation on what look I should take on. After much thought and consideration I am thinking I need a whole wardrobe consisting of colorful skinny jeans. What are your thoughts???

Baby Borrowers

Lately I have been watching the Baby Borrowers reality show where a bunch of teenage couples are given a child to watch for three days. Each couple starts with a baby, then a toddler, pre-teen, teen, and then
elderly. As I sat there watching the show I realized that these couples are truely inexperienced. Starting today I am tending five children (one is not pictured) for a couple of days all by myself. So here is child number one. Christian (2)

My zoo trip with the Cluffs

So I have gotten a few complaints saying that I need to update my blog and I realized that is has been a while since I have added anything. Anywho last Thursday the Cluff family invited me to go to the zoo with them. I naturally could not turn down the invitation because of the fact that I love the zoo!!!

This is my attempt to get the Hogle Zoo sign in the background. I have to say that it is not my best work. I thought I had it down to an art after Heritage tours, but I guess I still need some practice.
