Ups & Downs & Merry go Rounds

I find it so interesting how one day can be so amazing and then the next day not so amazing?! 

It's slightly frustrating to me when I think about it, really. This week has been full of ups and downs for me. Specially merry go rounds! 

I've been hurting in the Financial area ever since the stupid gas prices decided to take a jump... and then of course the stinking cost of living is killing me too. Why does it have to be SO expensive to live!? 

That's my question of the week. I feel so helpless, I've put in for jobs, I've gotten interviews and then nothing. It's like a stab in the chest, I get all excited that I just might have a chance and then the rock hits my in the freaking face bringing me back to this reality.

I just really need some prayer right now, I don't have my Dad here to bounce questions off of and I don't want to worry my Mom. So I try to deal with it and I have to be honest sometimes I get so scared I can't even explain. 

Now I know a lot of people are in the same situation so I really have no room to complain. 

But everyone has different ways of dealing with things... and this is hard for me. 

Okay I think I'm done venting, going to go walk now. Thanks!

God & Country (Rally) Festival '11

I look forward to this event EVERY year, not kidding.







It always happens the week right before 4th of July. 4th of July being one of my Favorite Holiday's! I was so excited I got to go with my Young Adults group; friends Kendra, Nathan, Chris, and Kristian. It ended up being a TON of fun like always!






It wasn't scorching hot like it was last year, but it was warm enough. In fact it was pretty much perfect weather! We hung out and listened to some local bands, waiting as patiently as we could till the Afters got on stage.

Once the Afters got on stage we didn't sit down until they ended the show! We were up dancing the whole time they performed! haha. It was so much fun, they put on an awesome show. I can't wait to see them again. Hopefully it's soon!




After the "Afters" performed the Fireworks show started. It was AWESOME! :) Yay.
Such an Awesome night!
Thanks for all of you who came out and joined me there for the evening.

My Day out with Nathan & Kendra!

This blog post is about June 25th 2011, haha I know I'm like super late getting it posted. But better late than never right!?

It was one of theee best days ever! 

I met up with Kendra after I got off work, we went grocery shopping and then just hung out til is was time to go pick up Nathan. 

Kendra & I in the Rose Garden!

Once we picked Nathan up we headed off to Boise! 

Our first stop was Hyde Park, a cute little area of Boise that's really relaxed and super enjoyable! Definitely a new favorite spot! We had some really good pizza for dinner there and played some Dutch Blitz!

After Hyde park we headed over to Julia Davis Park where the real fun began. 

At Julia Davis we took a little time taking some pictures with the Statue of Abe Lincoln and also with the Statue of Julia Davis as well as a small 'Church building' that's set up there at the park. 

So fun, Kendra and I sat on Abe's lap and stroked His beard for the pictures, then I held his hand. He's such a nice guy! lol. 

After our pictures we headed more into the park and played some frisbee golf. At one point I was rolling on the Ground laughing at something I did. lol. Mental note, I can't throw a frisbee very well *wink*.  We played Frisbee golf the whole way around the Zoo and back to the car for our last stop. 

Thought you said you deleted
this one Nathan? lol

Mini Golf at Wahooz!!! :)

It was lots of fun, we Golfed one round before they closed. It wasn't too eventful, however we did as always find ways to laugh at ourselves lol. 

After Wahooz we headed back to Nathan's for a movie :) I think I'll just end it there. 

Movie was a little scary for a couple of us ;) Nough Said!

Ahh well, there it is. Fun Summer Memories. I love making them! Can't wait to share more with those I love! :)

Laters!
