Life seems to keep going with out me realizing the days! I told myself I would be better at keeping everyone up to date, but I haven't!! LOL~ So where to start?!?!
About a week and a half ago I had the opportunity to watch Toph and spend one on one time with him!! HE is just sooo cute! It was my brothers birthday so Allison and Chris went on a date and while they were out (about 10 min before they got home) some of Chris' friends showed up to surprise him. I was going to stay but I had just had my 2 wisdom teeth taken out (almost three...long story...). Toph and I had gone on a little walk out to my car to get one of the birthday cakes and then back to the apartment. He slept for about 40 min or so and than ate. After he ate I tried to burp him for a couple of min and it didn't come so I started to make noises and faces at him to get him to laugh and smile...it worked and then he finally burped and I wasn't very quick with it so it landed on me...after a while I wanted to see what he would do if I put him on his tummy...Allison and chris had told me he had rolled over the night before and I wanted to see if he would do it for me...HE DID!!! Toph really didn't like being on his tummy but loved being on his back listening to me make noises and faces at him...and he would copy the noises...or at least try too!!! It was TOTALLY cute!!!

Than that weekend Chris and Allison went out of town and I house sitted for them...it was nice to stay there for a couple of days, but I also realized that I was very self conscience. EVERY noise or sound freaked me out...I would get up and check the doors to see if they were locked and the windows closed...I'm not totally used to being in a place at night all by myself with out my dog or a room mate...and I had neither. It made me wonder about me moving in less than a month! I know after awhile I will get used to it but I am still scared, but really excited about it too!!! LOL~
2 weeks ago (Aug 1st), I went to the Kenny Chesney concert!! I love him!! He is one of my favs, but there were a few other of my favs there too!!! There was Lady Antabellum, Miranda Lambert, Montgomery Gentry, Sugarland and Kenny!! I love all of them!!! I am sooo happy that my friend Kerry asked me to go with her!

Kerry lookin at me wierd!! But I love this pic even though it is taken with my cell phone!
Let's see what else has been going on? The hike and hoe down went well...I was the only YSA that is on the committee that was able to go and almost didn't go cause my jaw was still killin me as it was the same week that they got pulled and my jaw getting yanked back and forth to get the lower one out but alas it is still in mouth as they didn't have enough grab to pull it out...so one left to get out!! Anyways...I went with my friend Aryn (pronounced Erin) and Carrissa up to Cascade park which is owned my the church up by marysville. Aryn and I didn't stay for the dance as she had some other place to be and my jaw was killing me!! Carrissa was able to get a ride home so she stayed. All in all it turned out great!
My wards campout is this week. I don't have to work tomorrow and is why I am up writing this at this late hour. I am getting my room somewhat cleaned and I am getting packed to go camping but also to move too...The only day this week that I work is on Tuesday which will be nice...I am really excited to be going!! I wish that I was able to go camping more often!! I love camping!! I just never have anyone to go with and no time to do it!!
After the campout I still have a busy schedule ahead for me! LOL~ I know I complain sometimes that I have no time to do anything, but I bring it on myself (95% of the time). Because I am on the North Seattle multi-stake I get to help plan things for about 4 wards. It's nice. For Novemebers activity we normally do a Turkey bowl where we invite not just our multi-stake but a few others to participate in (so it turns out to be a BIG turnout) and we do it at the Husky Stadium at the UW. Well this year I am charge of it!! Hopefully it will be a great success. So now that the campout is almost done I will be focusing on that, an online course starting Sept 21 in accounting (not sure how that is going to go...), AND working some overtime the last two weeks in Sept and some in the beginning of Oct. Now I definately know that it is my fault for being that busy as I think I have a problem in saying NO. I like to please people...make them as happy as I can cause that it what makes me happy...(most of the time)....But I am actually loking forward to the challege and the adventure that comes with it!!
Another thing that is going on...My extended family (or some that is) on my mom's side are doing "the biggest loser". I wasn't going to participate in it as I don't have a whole lot of time and no longer have my gym membership as it was getting to be a bit much than I could afford. Well than my sister talked me into it. The new apartment complex that I am moving into has a little gym and I plan on using it, but that won't be till September. So I have decided that even though I won't be able to use that till I move there are other things I can do...like watch what I eat (no going out to eat very often), eat more fruits/veggies, and go walking more often...so that is what I am going to do... I am hoping on not only losing weight but committ myself to getting healthier. I HATE looking the way I do and have been trying to lose it but then get side tracked and will end up doing a roller coaster of my workouts and eating habits...But this time I am going to try harder and committ myself more to it. I am not big on committing myself to things that are longterm normally. There has been one thing that I have committed to and I think that I have done a pretty good job on that one thing so now I think I can add in one more and work on getting myself where I want in health and weight-loss!!
