Learning What Life is All About

The smiles. The giggles. The hugs and kisses. The "I love you!"s. The outdoors. The babies. The families. The music. The art. The friendships. The travels. The sunsets. The time. The sleep. The work. The love. The snuggles. The money. The books. The blogs. The food. The rain. The saturdays. The joy. The pictures. The games. But most importantly... The Maker of it All!

Zoo, Elitches, Friends, and Boredom

     So on Tuesday I took my little cousin to the zoo. I was also supposed to take Erika and Jackson (two kids of one of the guys who works for my dad), but Jackson woke up on Tuesday with a fever of 102 degrees so it was just me and Teeter. If you know me at all, you know that I absolutely hate animals, so it wasn't my favorite thing to go to the zoo, but it wasn't too bad. We just went past each animal once and then left to eat lunch in the parking lot in the back of my pick-up truck. After lunch, I took him out to Yoyogurt because he had been asking for it for a while. After Yoyogurt I dropped him off at the house and met up with some friends at Chic-fil-a. We talked for a couple hours then headed to TJ Max and Ross to look at clothes that we wished we could buy, but didn't have money for :) I left Ross and headed to my other friend, Julianna's, house. We went and saw Soul Surfer at the dollar theatre then went to my house for Snitzchel (yeah no idea how to spell that) and painted nails. We headed back to Julianna's house for a sleepover and watched Hot Chick.

     The next morning Julianna and I woke up and went for a run (I need to do that more) and then did some weights, sit-ups, etc. I left a little later and headed to my house to go with Lauren, Taylor and Alison to a barbque at Fox Run park. We ate A LOT of food and laid out on the grass. We watched these teens put up a tight rope between two trees and attempt to walk across it. It was super funny and we would sometimes clap when they went a ways on the tight rope. Later, my family and I went to church, went out for slurpees, and then went to pick up my purse I left at Julianna's.  Whoops!

     Yesterday we went to Elitches. It was pretty fun... but my little cousin didn't want to ride any of the rides, so we left him with my mom amd went on the roller coasters by ourselves :) It was a blast.
     Today, Hunter left. My dad is at the airport (or maybe on his way home) right now. I love him to death, but he was a little bit starting to drive me crazy, so it will be nice to not have a nine-year old constantly asking to play video games or telling you he's bored.

     Babysitting jobs are still low which is kind of frustrating. I had a lady tell me for like a year that she would need me all this summer and so I din't even look for a summer job because I figured I would just be baby-sitting. Out of nowhere she decides she doesn't want me to do it and so I told another lady who had asked me to baby-sit over the summer. She told me that she would use me two days a week back in May, but I still haven't heard from her. I have two baby-sitting jobs for next week that I'm thankful for, but I'm still really bummed. It's like, okay I don't care if you don't want me to baby-sit, but don't tell me that you do, when you really don't. I could have gotten a job or something so I'm not running around broke. Whatever though, I'm so blessed and know that when I need money for something (i.e. college, missions trips, etc.) God will provide!

     That's all for now I think. I really need a topic for this blog so it's not just a super boring journal. Haha. I'm sure no one enjoys reading it, but it'll be nice for me to look back on.

     I'll try and post pictures later today. I'm headed to the grocery store now.
