Dan's Family

I finally got to meet someone in Dan's family. His older brother came down from Saratoga Springs to pick up his daughter for the summer. We got to hang out with him a lot.

Yesterday we were with him and his wife all day. We went over to his wife's family's house for dinner. They made flank steak, potatoe salad, shrimp salad, cake, and homemade ice cream. it was awesome. Dan is a lot like his brother Donnie. It was crazy lol.

Grandma I remember telling you how I've been crocheting a lot lately. Well I took pictures of every thing that I've done so far. Except for a few of the items that I've sold and didn't have my camera at the time. I didn't realize that you read my blog or I would have posted them here sooner. The discription of the pictures are underneath them.

I've noticed that everyone is posting pictures of their beautiful yards as they are coming along this summer. I got bored today and took some pictures of flowers in our yard. There are also pictures of the cats. All the descriptions of the pictures are underneath the picture.

Pink something. They are like 3 feet tall. And not really flowers. They look like buds of flowers but they don't bloom.

Its been FOREVER

Wow! Its been like 2 whole months since I wrote in here. A lot has happened in that 2 months. Well kinda not really.
I'm still in St. George and loving it. I have posted some pictures that I have taken of random things in my yard on facebook. Me and Dan are doing great. He is the biggest sweetheart! He's definitely the one for me. We are the exact same person. Anyways.
In about a month or so we are moving to Eureka, California. Our friend has like 2,000 acres of land out there, and I guess it has old redwood trees that have been on the ground for like 100 years or more. They salvage those old trees and make all kinds of things and sell them. I'll take a picture of a couple chairs in my backyard that he has made. Him and his dad have also done decks, floors, cabinets, counter tops, etc. It is so beautiful and amazing. Those trees are huge and I can't wait to be able to get to see them in real life finally. Don't worry I will be taking pictures.
Anyways we are going up there for the summer so Dan can work with them. We will be moving back to Utah in like 4-6 months. Its only a seasonal job. I do believe we will be doing that for a few years.
My birthday this year was amazing. Its been the best one in years. Dan had invited a bunch of our friends over. He even had one of them bring my favorite game in the whole wide world. GUITAR HERO!!!! Yeah so thats really the only time I can brag about something and actually mean what I say. Its so fun, and fun to talk my self up about it. Haha see! I just did it. Oh well. Anyways Dan BBQ'd some Carolina Honey BBQ Chicken for dinner and also made this Hawaiian mac salad. It was yummy. He got me a digital camera. Later that night he surprised me with all our friends and him walking into the room with a cake that had 2 candles on it. Each of them being a 2. Of course they were singing "Happy Birthday". According to them I was as red as a tomato. I knew I was. I hate that stuff. Oh well.
I'm done talking your ears off so I'll update in like a week or so. Love you all!

St. George

Well I moved to St. George. I've been here, well it will be 2 weeks on Friday. I love it down here. I moved in with my boyfriend, who I met in Mesquite. I came down just to visit him and be with him for a few days but it ended up that I didn't want to go home and he didn't want me to go home either. So I decided to stay. My grandparents aren't to happy with me right now. But I'm super happy where I am. I've never felt like this for anyone before. Not even Brian. I think that this relationship is heading some where really good.

Mesquite

Last Friday me and the grandparents went to Las Vegas to help my family down there. We got there about 3 pm Friday afternoon. Had a blast with the kiddos. Playing mommy for them is fun. Its so funny though cause they don't listen to my grandparents much. But they listen to me all the time.

Monday morning we left and drove to Mesquite. My grandparents get free rooms at the Virgin River Hotel and Casino. So we stayed till Thursday morning. They gave me money to gamble and its really not that fun. But anyways.

Wednesday night is when I had the most fun. Waiting for the drawing to end, I was in the Lounge Room where there is usually a live band playing. Well American Made Band was there. You can check them out at www.americanmadeband.com or on facebook. Anyways. During their 2nd break the guitar play came and started talking to me. We talked the entire time during his break. He lives in Salt Lake by the airport. They dedicated a love song to me. I don't remember the name. The next song they played he jumped off stage still playing his guitar. He had one of those wireless things that hooks up to the amp. He ran over to me and asked me if I knew how to 2 step. I told him yes but its been so long. So he ran back up on stage and played the part where he had to step on the pedal to change the sound of the guitar. After that was done he ran back down to me and told me to put my hands on his shoulders. So I did and we started dancing while he was still playing the guitar and singing. I had never seen anything or done anything like it. I messed up a couple times cause its been sooooo long since I've 2 stepped. But after the song was done he went back up and played till his next break. We talked on every break they took. Then danced during one of the breaks cause they put music on during them. He dedicated a few more songs to me and played a few of my requests. When they were done playing he invited me to go to his show in April in Wendover, I told him I'd try and make it.

So this afternoon when we got home I looked at their website and the band is older than I am. Jeff (guitar player) is probably about the same age as my dad (Kev). I knew he was up there cause he's got grey in his beard. But I really don't care. My intentions are not to get with him. He's just a real sweet fun guy that I met and I am probably going to become real good friends with.

I really can't wait to see them play again. They are great. They've opened for tons of different bands including Garth Brooks and a few others. You really should check them out. Again its

www.americanmadeband.com and they are on facebook also.

I am an offical Salt Lake Community College Student!!!

So today I went to SLCC to talk with an acedmic Advisor about what classes I need to take to be a labor and delivery nurse. Talked to her, then filled out the application, paid the fee, and took SAT test to find out what level I am in English and Math. But when the lady processed my application fee she handed me a student id card with a number on it and said, "You are now officially a student at SLCC!!!!" I'm so excited.
