Life

I got to see The Hunger Games this weekend. It really was well done. I hope that after all Stephanie Meyer went through with her books into movies that others have learned. I wasn't disappointed with this movie. I even liked the previews! The preview for Breaking Dawn 2 was ok. I could just hear my brothers voice in my head mocking it! ah well, I'll see it.
I am trying to find another book to read. I have read some about the Titanic. There is a National Geographic I want to get-- April for the 100 year anniversary of the sinking. Looks like there are some neat pictures in it.
I am looking forward to General Conference this weekend. It is always so good, and goes by so fast.
I have started playing Words with Friends and Draw Something. It is fun. I am a much better artist in my head... and I really struggle with just my phone as my screen. Ah well. It is fun.
A friend at work has a lemon tree. I have been making homemade lemonade. Seriously GOOD. Best Bites Cookbook -- such great recipes!
I am missing the blue bonnets of Texas. I am going to TX in May, but I know they will be gone. I am excited to get to go though! It will be good to see my Dad. And he will be retired. Somehow, I figure we will work on the house/pool. Then I get to go to Denver for a friend's wedding! Yeah!!

Utah in March

I got to have a great week in Utah. I left Wednesday morning and drove...and drove. I have a good friend in Blanding, UT so I stopped there for the night. Natani and I went to a Zumba class. It was so fun! I have done the videos so I wasn't sure what a live class would be like. It was a little more dance/aerobic than I thought, but I did recognize several Zumba moves. It was a lot of fun....good to be in a class where I was kept busy and push myself a little more. We had a fun night of catching up and being entertained by her 4 boys.
Thursday as I left I hit snow--until Moab. It was really coming down and the roads started to get more accumulation on them. But, once I was near Arches the snow stopped. Then I hit the final canyon by Price and it snowed until I came out of it in Spanish Fork. Thankfully the snow wasn't bad, and I got to use the new windshield wipers my bro-in-law put on for me!
I got to go to some stores that I had been wanting to: Heartfelt Wall Hangings-- they do home crafts that are SUPER cute. Then I went to The Wood Connection Craft store-- wood letters to do whatever..so FUN I am so excited to start some projects!
Fri was spent seeing friends and family! I got a massage, got my hair cut short..played games. It was fun. So glad I got to go.

That is the best picture I have of my new cut. I did not take many pictures... mostly because it confirms the fact that I have put on weight and I hate to see it. So, no pictures = no proof of that sad fact.
Saturday manicure and pedicure, Cafe Rio and BYU Men's Volleyball! It was FUN! We won! I was a little sad I didn't bump into any friends that are attending BYU, but that is ok. Perhaps if they had had warning...
Sun. the baby blessing was very nice too. Just love little ones. So sweet.
Monday--day with my brother's family. Good fun with games and food. Blue Lemon was tasty!
Tuesday a FULL day of driving. Thank goodness for books on CD.
I love roadtrips!
